“Zaa'tar restaurant inside is a hidden gem. I've had their very delicious and satisfying falafel wrap a few times. Come here for yummy yet nutritious food with a big serving size sold for an affordable price.”
“I will go out of my way to shop at Star. Can't afford the meat department's sandwiches and avoid the wine selection, but always find the grocery items I need and am consistently happy with the quality. My latest discovery are the spices...fresh, organic and reasonable. Treat yourself!”

“They have amazing customer service, they have everything you'd want in a store. There sandwich's are something else, very underrated! If you want a quick sandwich made fresh that's where you'd want to go.”
“Beautiful and very organized store for everything Spanish ( and Portuguese). From paella pan, cazuelas, and tajines to Spanish. Portuguese wine and vermouth. From Spanish spices, sweets to jamón iberico, they have them all. Interested in learning about Spanish Portuguese wines? They have Spanish wine club! Don’t forget to check out their website, there are a lot of useful information.”
“None better for friendly, responsive and helpful owners and staff! Great selection; unique offerings. If they don’t have it they can get it for you, often. support your local small family-run business!”
“This is a pretty amazing grocery store if you're looking for produce. It's basically a farmer's market indoors. Best mushroom selection I've seen anywhere. Prices are high, but you get what you pay for. Convenient parking in a very congested little parking lot.”
“We've visited the Cedar Market every Sunday to pickup the NYTimes for years. They are reliable, trustworthy and purveyors of wonderful samosas. I can't recommend them enough.”
“Wonderful spot! They have an amazing selection of products, things no other market has. I was surprised to find pasture raised eggs, grass fed beef sticks and other health friendly foods. They also have amazing kombucha on tap. Definitely stop by this place it doesn’t disappoint AND the owner Marcos is the sweetest guy I’ve ever met. 10/10”
“Really close to Cal campus! Every student should go there and buy stuff as it is so much less expensive than the typical grocery store. Like about 30% less on the average bill.”
“One of the coolest grocery stores I've ever been to! There is truly something for everyone here from the vast selection of colorful produce to artisan bread to locally prepared foods. While some items are a bit pricey, you can definitely shop here on a budget if you know what to pick. Additionally, the store is both vegan/vegetarian friendly and I think has a great policy on waste. Many items like cashews are kept in bulk to reduce on plastic. If you like fresh food or simply a solid unique grocery store, the Berkeley Bowl is the way to go!”
“Sacramento Market is a great neighborhood mini supermarket. They have the best meats reasonable prices imagine. Oxtails 7.99 a lb steak same price. They have everything you need. From groceries to cleaning supplies. The staff have great personalities and great customer service skills. I have been shipping at this market since I was a kid. Highly recommended market”
“I’ve been trying the various flavors of kefirs and kombuchas they make over the past few months, and so far every single one is extremely refreshing. The apple-ginger, root beer, and blueberry juniper are favorites so far.”
“Amazing!!! The cutest grocery store with the best vegan/veggie/ gf options. Very accessible and super close to campus. Even hot meals take EBT which is amazing. Friendly staff. A little on the expensive side but they double your bucks so it's worth it.”
“Great people great food, some of the men can be a lil rude but it's not personal. I have come here since I was a child. Big inventory. Ask for something if they don't have it”
“I went to the store. It was brightly lit, very organized. Very friendly customer service. The guy behind the counter who I think seemed the owner was very friendly and always asked me if I needed any help finding the items I was looking for. Also, prices are fairly cheap compared to other nearby stores”

“Have you ever wished your local Bodega had more craft beer and organic sundries?This quaint little corner store is bountifully stoked to the brim with super good food. Although the after-school rush can get a little busy, the store is otherwise really easy to navigate, and you grab any quick thing you might need and avoid the long lines at Berkeley bowl. The staff are incredibly friendly and have an insider's knowledge on most of the foods they carry, often suggesting the absolute perfect accoutrement to any purchase. Parking is typically available. Also, don't pass on their soup or sandwiches... they always hit the spot.”

“Stopped by today for a few snack items. I got a banana and a yogurt drink for 3.99. The banana was fresh and the yogurt drink was good as well. The have a little section where they sell sandwiches and tamales. They have a wide variety of drinks and food items (both refrigerated, frozen, and dry). They also sell school supplies. I wish I had more time to look around but I will definitely visit again. Employees were kind and they take EBT!”
“Easy and convenient. Walking distance from UCB and across the street from the BART.It was awkward to see security patrol around and at cash, but just do your own thing.”
“Good selection of food. Great produce. Noticed that both the bread and eggs cost more than I could afford. Probably distribution problems. The register person spoke to her coworker all during my check out. That was odd. The bagging person wes very nice and I thanked them, as I usually do.”
“I've shopped this market over many years. It's like a royalty among corner markets. Great inventory and selections, even in the produce area, good prices, other amenities on site, such as a good Deli section where they make your food to custom order, even an ATM that always works.And the folks working there have always been friendly and helpful with me.”

“I had a lunch with my kid on Friday, the guy behind the register was amazing, great attitude and super service however, the chicken came uncooked, again the cashier took it back to finish cooking it. How do you hire a cheff that does not know when the meet is or is not cooked?”
