The artichoke bread which is made locally is DELICIOUS and is only available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. There were other varieties which I'll probably go back to try. The owner helped us and gave us a brief history of the store and where the items were made. Very nice experience, I'll be back for an Olive oil tasting soon.

sapore messo was a bit of a mess-o! as much as i like supporting niles and small businesses this…read moreexperience was just a bit weird. the products are not bad though. i've been to this store like 3 times probably and bought their olive oil/balsamic. their stuff is pricey but good and the flavor is amazing...and there are samples as well as smaller bottles. last time i went there was local raw honey too! as for the owner dude he is a little weird. i kinda feel bad adding to all the unfavorable reviews around him but like...a girl's gotta talk. it feels like sometimes he likes you and sometimes he doesn't. like sometimes bro be on his deriod and gives me the crappiest stankiest attitude and other times he is mildly accommodating. it's giving hormonally unbalanced teen girl. this is hilarious since yk..he's an old man. no offense. ALSO - the last time i went he was lowkirkuinely a lil racist. maybe i'm just imagining things..okay guys you're the jury! help me decide. i went with a friend (we r both asian) and he just like looked at us. okay cool maybe we r both baddies idk. we asked for recommendations and samples and he was like teetering between polite and pissed. AND THEN this white couple came in and he was like hey guys!!! lemme help you out!!! big smiles etc. me and my friend were just standing there while this guy spends a long time making convo with this couple, helping them out, etc. when they leave we have to wait another like 5 min for him to even consider our presence and his tone COMPLETELY changes. back to polite/pissed. i decide to buy the small bottle and he looks at me and says something like "wow that's not even going to last you a minute if you buy that" LIKE HELLO I'M BROKE sorry i can't buy a bigger bottle. then he just processes our purchase and doesn't say anything for the rest of the time. i'm still not sure if that was racist or just a bad attitude but either way i'm sending my white friend to shop for me in the future

If I had to make a "gems of Fremont" or even a "gems of the Bay Area" list, this place would be…read moreamong my top picks. Why? Because you can't get freshly baked Middle Eastern / Levantine pastries just anywhere in the Bay! If you've been to a Yemeni coffeeshop in the Bay Area, especially if it's in the East Bay, you might have seen this bakery's fatayer and manakeesh sold there since they supply a bunch of the coffeeshops. They bake all day and you can stop by at any given time and find freshly made pastries sitting on the table by the bakery section. In terms of selection, they generally have different types of fatayer (spinach, beef, chicken, cheese, more recently potato), manakeesh, lahm bi ajeen (soft flatbreads with a meat and tomato mixture on top), and chicken musakhan rolls. They don't always have every item available but they'll let you know what's in the oven. The pastries are 6 for $15 currently. They freeze well too. I've been here often and the customer service has always been friendly.

After a day of running errands, my brother was giving me a ride home when he says, "I need to get…read moresome flatbread..." I remembered a place on Jackson Street that I had gone to 5 years ago that had a tremendous selection - looked it up on Yelp and it was no longer on Jackson, but was listed in Castro Valley. So we went thought we'd go by and give it a try. Great decision! The "new" store in Castro Valley is much brighter, cleaner, nicer than the old location. I think the old location had more stuff from Eastern Europe, but this new location seems to have a broader selection, with more stuff from Western Europe and the Middle East. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful - always willing to answer questions and even give tips on how to use the products that they sell. And his recommendations have been great - we asked him about which tahini and zaatar to get (they have many different brands/types of each...) and the ones he recommended have been way tastier than any of the brands that you find in most markets. Especially good was his recommendation on lebnah - he said that the brands they carry are all good, but they have some that they package in-house that was special. I tried it - it was less expensive than the other brands, but was the very best lebnah that I have ever tasted! Richer, creamier, with just the right amount of tang. Wonderful stuff! Anyway, Crossroads is a nice, clean, well-lit place with a great selection of unique products, and friendly, knowledgeable sales staff. Well worth a trip!

Because my favorite was always being shredded chicken but I did not give a chance on the grilled chicken. Now my favorite will be grilled chicken taco trays. You get 12 piece of tacos filled with meat onion and cilantro plus they will also give us salsa and lime. It was enough to feed 6 people with extras. DoorDash ordering sometime you could not let them know what you want on sauces and any other extra. I think if you order through the phone and pick up the food is way better. You probably will get all what you want on the condiments. I am just glad they have door dash. Ambiance can really tell you because over the years it has always been door dash. If you have a party try out their Fajita combo tray and taco trays.

This market is focused on a lot of middle eastern items. So if you're ever in the need for spices, you can find them here like fenugreek, sumak, etc. They also had a lot of different teas, vegetables, fruit, a butcher in the back and bakery/pastry items in the front. I did get my sumak and decided to try out a different brand. Little did I know it was brand that makes sumak here in Fremont. Always good to support a local business. I didn't really take a good look at their produce nor anything much more than what I wanted which was to get sumak so I can't comment to the quality of that. Parking is shared by the kabob place so it's small like 2 spaces. You can always park on the street and walk inside. I'm sure the folks next door utilize this market for their meats and spices. Useful, if you ask me! They accept credit card though I ended up paying in cash. Small market that's convenient if you're needing specific middle eastern items and well if you're next door picking up food, it's not a bad time to just stop by to take a peek.

No carts fit in here so don't think you will do your weekly shopping here. When you walk in, you are hit with the smell of the meat department. I don't know they may need better air circulation here. Product looks good, they have a small selection but they have some. I mostly go here when I need tortillas which they have a large selection of good brands. Parking sucks here! I don't use the parking lot here. Aside from it being small it is one way each way and people just back out without looking which is horrifying! Park on the street where the post office is or across the street, there is a huge shopping center with tons of parking. It's a lot safer. The cashiers are friendly and fast. They offer frsh products at the front sometimes like tamales and fresh squeezed juice. This place is not bad for me and close that's why I go.

It is so full of foods from eastern Europe, and even Middle Eastern foods, that I either barely recognize or had no idea existed. The variety is astounding. I'm so glad to have an option like this so close to home.

We had just had lunch so we purchased a small cheesecake flavored ice cream bar to share and some Lebanese grilled olives to take home for later. We are for sure coming back for some frozen dumplings next time we're in the mood... they had a huge selection. Fun!

On 11/22/2025, I visited this location as a long-time Fremont resident and frequent customer. I was…read moreassisted by a cashier named Christopher, who refused to accept my valid Mexican passport as identification for an alcohol purchase. He stated that it was "the law" that a Mexican passport could not be used as ID. I have shopped at this store for years and have never encountered any issues using this form of identification. When Christopher saw that my ID was a Mexican passport, his reaction appeared noticeably negative, which made me feel that his refusal may have been racially motivated. I chose not to escalate the situation at the register and asked him to remove the items. I then requested to speak with the manager on duty, an older Asian woman. I asked whether rejecting a Mexican passport was store policy. She clearly confirmed that a Mexican passport is an international form of identification and is valid. When I explained that I felt the cashier's behavior was discriminatory, she appeared to acknowledge my concern. She completed my transaction, and I reminded Christopher of the correct policy. His demeanor throughout the interaction remained rude and disrespectful. I have never experienced racism before, and this incident was unacceptable. I expect employees to know store policies and to treat customers respectfully. I plan to contact the store manager and corporate regarding this matter. Christopher also refused to provide Dave Hines' email, claiming he was not allowed to give it out. As a manager myself, I find this behavior unprofessional and unethical. Christopher demonstrated discriminatory behavior and poor customer service, and I hope appropriate action is taken.
