This…read moreis where you find everything you need for the perfect picnic or dinner featuring hyper-local everything! Don't feel like packing a picnic or prepping or cooking? Good thing Sonoma Market is known for their sandwiches and deli and fresh prepared meals. You'll find a really fun selection of local cheeses, condiments, produce, and baked goods that bigger grocery stores don't carry. You'll spend a little more, but the shopping experience is more curated and atmospheric, and the products speak for themselves. I stopped in recently while on a short trip to Sonoma, specifically for salsa, some kind of dip or spread for crackers, and a cheese or two. I spent awhile browsing because that's the best part, and left with exactly what I needed (proud and amazed I stuck to my budget haha). I bought a fantastic bleu cheese, brie, a cantina style salsa, and this whipped, layered, tomato-basil dip made of ground almonds, avocado, sour cream, tomatoes, and herbs. Kind of a lot going on, but it was so good. It's always fun to see what you'll find here. Like a locally made gluten free apple pie, the perfect bouquet of flowers, or a freshly baked loaf of sourdough.

The store could sell so much more food than it does, they have no idea. But people want quality food at the hot bar not what they have there now. Overall, the store is pretty good but they're hot food display is an absolute embarrassment for the store. It's always old picked over food or just empty. If you come in here at five 5 o'clock or after, it's always a disgusting display. Very sad to see.

I had been waiting next in line for a few minutes to be served, as another employee was helping a person just ahead of me. I was waiting partiently - approximately 10 minutes to be served next. A young man approached the counter, looked at me in line, then looked the other way - down the delicatessan area-l, and asked a man that had just walked up to the counter if he needed anything. I immediately spoke up and mentioned to the gentleman that I had been waiting for a while to be served. The young man pointed at the customer he had just talked to and said to me "I'm helping him now". I immediately stated, I had been waiting for a while and that he should have first asked "Whom was next in line". The young man shook his head, closed hos eyes, and started laughing and continued to help the other person. Of course, as It so happened, Angel's supervisor was nearby and I immediately explained to him what had happened. He had an amused smirk on his face and said nothing. I ince again explained in detail what had just occurred and it seemed that he was not taking my complaint seriously either. I work hard all day, like everybody else, and expect at least some common courtesy when dealing with a situation like this. I am not happy at all with the service "Not provided today". In looking at the previous revoews on Yelp it seems that this Safeway has had many complaints that probably are not being resolved through corporate or by immediate remediation and training. I highly recommend that more training be given to those who do not respect customers nor have the presence of mind to read a situation and handle situations like this more professionally. Please take the extra effort to go to a different grocery store as you may also be left holding the short end of the stick...

Having a substandard hot food bar that's picked over, empty, or hours old. This is true for pizza too. They have state of the art cooking ovens right there and it would be such an opportunity to help the community, but it's a disappointment every time I walk by there. You guys need to go down to Molly Stones or a real store to see what a hot bar should look like.

There is a reason why this place has won best sandwich in Sonoma for the last ten years…read more We are tourists, we came here TWICE for lunch but I wouldn't have minded if we also came for breakfast and dinner hahahaha. You go all the way back to the deli, grab a paper and pen and fill out the sheet on how you want your sandwich. Then place it on the counter and they stick it in line. Sandwiches take a few minutes especially if you want it hot or toasted. If you want a burrito or some special not on the paper, just announce it to them and they'll make a paper and put it in line. They put a ton of meat of the sandwiches. We were very pleased. I went with the cucumber which was 0.50 extra so my sandwich was $15.99. My husband got the pesto which is also an extra charge. They forgot the pesto but we took the sandwich to go, so we didn't realize that. The next time we got lunch, I had the burrito and it needed salsa or hot sauce. Luckily, we ate outside in the covered seating area and I was able to go back in to get hot sauce AND the pesto sauce they forgot a second time. What is it about the pesto that they forget? They offered to remake the sando but I said no just gimme a side. Apparently there is hot sauce by the microwave FYI. The store has all kinds of drinks and snacks. We grabbed two small bags of chips. They also have premade meals for lunch dinner and even breakfast. Everything looked so good. If I lived there, I would shop all the time. They have a butcher shop as well. There is a small bathroom around the back for customers. And a sink in the covered eating area to wash your hands. Parking is along the street or their little lot. Check this place out. It's not fancy. But is sure is good.

We saw the sign in front of the building which said they had award winning sandwiches, so we thought we'd give it a try. We entered and found our way to the deli counter where we were greeted by a sandwich maker. Once we made our choice--ham and turkey with provolone on crusty white sourdough bread with mayo, pickles, lettuce and tomato, we waited for the assembly. While waiting we pondered grabbing a pasta salad from the tasty looking assortment on the shelf to accompany our sandwich but in the end opted for a container of local California strawberries, and chips (plain for the hubs and oil and vinegar for yours truly). While at the register the friendly cashier suggested a Mexican marzipan style cookie, which we readily agreed to. Lunch was delicious later as we sat on a park bench by a peaceful pond in the middle of Jack London state park. My husband particularly enjoyed the bread. We'd recommend the market to anyone in need of a delicious sandwich and we'll be back next time we're in Sonoma. They also had a plenteous supply of groceries.

Owing to the population, Sonoma has what us Marin-ites can only describe as a plethora of Mexican food riches. As for me, from here on out I need only one. This one. El Brinquito is a market and a meat market and a provider of what I can only describe as some of the best steak (super) tacos I've ever consumed. How good, you ask? After the first visit I was back again inside of the week for the exact same thing. On the weekends they barbecue chicken which, from the way the girl at the register said it, I garnered the impression that it was something worth trying. Maybe, but I'll have to get it to go. From here on out, I won't be passing through this area without a stop for Carne Asada Super Tacos (under $5 apiece).
