Totally stumbled upon this place by accident, and what a serendipitous find! We saw that they had…read morethe viral Dubai chocolates (this was back in October). For those who don't know what the Dubai chocolates are, they are milk chocolates filled with shredded phyllo dough and pistachio cream. My first impression was whether or not I had walked into an art gallery or a confectionary shop. Uh...turns out both! According to their website, the owner and her partner were originally artists prior to becoming chocolatiers. This place just screams creativity and their chocolates are ethically-sourced and almost too pretty to eat. They even have a backroom gallery to showcase local artists' confectionary-inspired works. We couldn't find the Dubai chocolates, but one of the employees approached us and asked if we needed any assistance. Turns out they were in the back and they had just received a shipment! The Dubai chocolates were nutty, crunchy, flaky, and velvety all in one! Pricey, but worth trying. Also, might I just take a moment to say I absolutely adore the shop's name! It almost looks like "XO Chocolate" as in kisses and hugs, bu also reminded me of the language of the ancient Latin American civilizations and - fun fact - Xocolatl (you see the play on words?) means chocolate (literally means "bitter water") back when they would mix purely cocoa and water as a drink. If I'm not mistaken, this business is Latina-owned, so perhaps that was intention? So clever and, either way, kudos to them!

The female cashier who originally helped me was kind, welcoming, and handled my items with care. I purchased about half a bag of candy from her, and everything was pleasant. I later decided I wanted some dark chocolate, so I returned to make another purchase. By this point, the store was getting busier, and another employee stepped in. He asked whether the remaining candy was mine. I explained that it was not mine anymore because I had decided not to purchase it. Instead of simply leaving it at that, he continued confronting me about the candy and the original $43 price. I had already decided that $43 was far too much for a small bag of gummy candy, so I only purchased the portion I wanted and left the rest behind. His attitude toward me was rude and unnecessarily confrontational. While I was paying for my chocolate, he even threw it onto the scale rather than handling it with the same basic courtesy the previous cashier had shown. When I pointed it out, he picked it up and gently placed it down. I asked why he couldn't have handled it that way in the first place, and he continued arguing with me about the candy. At that point, I told him that he was being rude and disrespectful. There were children nearby, so I chose my words carefully and left the store. I understand that employees have to protect their merchandise and can question customers when necessary. However, there is a respectful way to handle those situations, and this was not it. I would have happily taken my business elsewhere if I had known I would be treated this way. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I Definitely won't be returning. Also, I must note for anyone wanting to buy candy in bulk: the gummies taste rancid. Whatever the store smells like is exactly what the candy tastes like...

I had an extremely disappointing experience at this store. From the moment I walked in, the owner made it clear he didn't trust anyone. He kept staring at me and my family giving dirty looks, which made me feel uncomfortable the entire time. It was as if he assumed everyone walking through his door was a thief. The customer service was just as bad. Instead of being friendly or helpful, the owner seemed more interested in watching me than in helping me find what I needed. I left feeling unwelcome and accused, which is not how anyone should feel while shopping. Honestly, I'd recommend avoiding this place altogether. There are plenty of other shops where you can feel comfortable and respected as a customer. read more

Discount City has been around for over 25-30 years!…read more It was here when I rented a studio apt around the corner back in the 90's. I still come here to buy cheap stuff, and I don't expect it to last forever. On a Monday, I dropped by to shop for drain stoppers. This store has a little bit of everything. Way in the back they have a small grocery area with coolers, freezers, and sacks of rice. They have aisles of canned foods, HABA (health and beauty), stationery, and cheap hardware. Up front, they have a huge selection of balloon designs. Also, incense and candles. Why 3-stars? Narrow aisles and the smell of urine. Your aisles are narrow. Then some are made very narrow by having merchandise boxes stacked on the floor. Someone in a wheelchair will have a problem. Also, your store isn't clean. The checkout area smells like someone used it for a bathroom. Who the heck pees on the floor in a store? But if you're looking for something at a low price, come try Discount City. Located on Alameda's Webster Street, a few doors down from Nation's Hamburgers. Welcome to Alameda.....The Island City

I don't blow my money, so I come sometimes and don't even buy anything. There is just so many different types of things and food and drinks and jewelry that you may find something you didn't even know you needed. The snacks and food options are amazing. Kooky international cookies and sweet and random flavors of foods and drinks, it's just a wonderland of cool random things. The prices can be ridiculous so you have to choose wisely. Sometimes the staff can be a little absent, meaning they don't really seem like they want to interact with us. I get it, retail sucks. And not every one of them is distant, there are some real gems in there too. I just love this place and I hope it doesn't succumb to rent hikes or loss of sales and it disappears.

I picked up some laceys almond & dark chocolate toffee wafer cookies, sonoma creamery parmesan and cheddar crisps, and keogh's irish potato chips with real irish butter. And after browsing all of the easter-themed goodies, I couldn't resist getting a bag of kitkat bunnies as well. A worker saw my arms full and offered to get me a basket (he ran all the way to the front of the store and back). The care and effort shown was definitely appreciated. Customer service altogether was outstanding. I was greeted with a smile at entry, checked on multiple times by different employees while shopping, and my transaction at the purchase counter was quick and easy, with two employees opening up additional registers as they saw a line forming. I usually have a positive experience at World Market regardless of location, but based on my recent visit the Oakland store is superior in every way!

LOVE this place!…read more What a lovely neighborhood gem. I adopted two guinea pigs during shelter-in-place lol they are so cute. They eat A LOT - they eat fresh veggies like lettuce everyday so that's the main reason I found House of Produce (HOP). I needed a good go-to place for fresh produce near home. Due to shelter-in-place... I've also been frequenting the Ace Hardware next door to HOP, but that's another story! This spot is small but packs a punch! They have most grocery items you might need: eggs, milk, dairy + alternatives. Obviously, they have produce - they have your standard stuff and also some bok choy and few other Asian produce items. They also have some household items you might need in a pinch, things like dishwasher soap or other cleaning supplies. My biggest shoutout goes to their supply of some Asian grocery items! They have a decent variety of different instant noodles (when you just need that cheap comfort food), and they have all sorts of spices and sauces. I am 1/2 Filipino and cook sinigang sometimes - they have the Tamarind Soup Mix by Knorr which is used as the base of the sinigang soup by many including myself haha. If you haven't tried sinigang, trust me, you need it in your life! Soooo good. Also, the ladies who work here always say hi and how are you, they are friendly and you feel good about supporting them :) Prices are also very reasonable and competitive. Pro tip, avoid paying for street parking and go one street above (north of) MacArthur around the corner from HOP. Park somewhere in front of someone's home in the neighborhood and just walk!
