Whenever I'm in the Lafayette area, I make it a point to visit Diablo Foods. Decades ago, I worked…read morefor one of their competitors and I appreciate the effort that goes into the quality and selection of their offerings. -For a grocery their size, they have an excellent selection of local produce from individual farms. -Their butcher aisle is superb, so many cuts and the quality of their meats, poultry and seafood is outstanding! How many groceries carry "American wagyu-style beef?" or fresh Scottish salmon?" (Not to mention how nice their butchers are, they are so willing to help with any specific cuts or instructions you need). -The deli has a great selection of cold-cuts, salads and makes killer sandwiches. -The cheese dept has an excellently-curated selection, far better than the chain stores. -Their in-house produced entrees are delicious, as well as the best local bakery/bread offerings. -Their checkout staff are friendly, beyond simply emptying your cart. They offer assistance to your car and have "associates" in the parking lot to help with parking and cart retrieval. This is "old-school" service in the 21st century...(obviously, they can't charge chain-store prices; they don't have the same buying power), but I definitely get value when I shop there...kudos to Diablo Foods, you "rock!"

I have probably ordered $500 worth of sandwiches from here over the past year, which should say a…read morelot. Their sandwiches are incredible. The staff are very friendly. I come back here once every week or two after placing an order via fax for my work place. So why only four stars? They unfortunately can get rushed, and miss stuff on the faxed in order sheets. Basic stuff: "please serve hot" or even as simple as basic ingredients to include like mayo or mustard. Don't get me wrong, I'll keep coming back here. If they could just get the orders more accurate it would be an easy 5/5!

Combine a terrific fishmonger inside a local grocery store focused on a mix of fresh vegetables and…read morefruits, a targeted selection of ready to eat fresh as well as frozen items, and a good sampling of different pantry staples the emphasize many Asian ingredients, and that's what you'll find at Green Fish Seafood & Grocery! They are opening a little later hours now which is great given that it can hard to get there after work. Overall, we have been impressed with the knowledge of team members supporting their fresh seafood section, and they are transparent in their sourcing of fish and shellfish, along with providing suggestions on how best to prepare them. Seafood is not cheap so if you are going to invest, you want good quality, and that's what you'll find. Generally, their fruits and vegetables are high quality as well, and sometimes you just have to sort through them to find the best choices. We also love not having to travel to Concord or the Tri-Valley to grab certain Asian pantry items. Service is also friendly and efficient too, so hope people support this local market -- you won't be disappointed!

I just want to share my appreciation to the Fish market, The whole staff was very helpful, I had to…read moredo an event for work last minute and they were able to guide me to know how much fish I would need for it, gave me supplies on what's needed, they all help me put it in boxes as well which was so generous of them, and cut the fish for me, I came here because of Yelp and I couldn't agree anymore about the positive experience, I would highly recommended coming here for your fish, service and if you need anything for your event or even cooking with your loved ones

We randomly came here for lunch one day with our kids. It was easy to get seated without…read morereservations on a Sunday at noon. There's plentiful inside seating and a comfortable shaded outdoor patio. There is a full bar that some folks were sitting at. We opted for the outside patio since we had our kids with us and they can be loud. Our server was kind and accommodating. She checked in often, but not in an invasive way. Everything here is farm to table, and tasted fresh. The oysters were delicious and so were the mussels which came with a delightful coconut broth and grilled bread. The kids enjoyed a fried chicken slider with fries. My favorite was the beet salad with goat cheese. It was so flavorful and perfectly cooked. This is definitely a spot to try with or without your kiddos. I would come back for dinner with the hubby.

This little local kosher store is amazing! I am not kosher but always curious. Coming into this…read moreshop can be overwhelming because of the amount of items that are here. Wow! I saw a post about the sufganiyot, which is a doughnut that had to be tried! Today they had them so I initially ordered one of each and told I needed two of each since it's a four pack. Sounds good! Two jelly and two custard. I asked where they came from and was told they come frozen from Israel. Quite the journey! To eat them, they can be left out or warmed in the microwave. When I got home, I had to try one so custard was the winner. 12 seconds in the microwave and it's transformed into a light treat with a nice creamy filling. Not overly sweet either. A cup of coffee would be even better. Do stop by here and support this great local business. Last year, I picked up a chocolate babka that the hubby loved. I'll be back next week for it! Street parking is available.

The breakfast mac & cheese with bacon is another favorite and always hits the spot. And don't even get me started on the desserts, they're next level. I also love the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. You order at the counter, grab a table, help yourself to water, and the friendly staff brings your food right to you. It's casual, comfortable, and consistently one of my favorite places in Lafayette. Highly recommend!

All ordered salads, all different, all very nice, but hardly unique. Ordered cold lemonades too, but they were nothing but a squeeze of lemon in water- not impressed. Having not been here in years, I found it to be a different and disappointing experience. We had to flag down a person to clean the table, which was still sticky when we sat down. Not rude service but could hardly be considered friendly either. The one thing that annoyed me the most was clearing an individuals dishes while the others were still eating. Plenty of empty tables so what's the rush? Given the cost, plus tip, Sideboard was nothing special. Plenty of other solid choices in the Lamorinda area.
