Grocery Stores in El Cerrito, CA

“At Trader joes You always got good experience while doing your grocery, Great store and staff !

I do my Grocery at Berkeley most of the times. I went to El-Cerrito branch yesterday, I do have back pain so it hard to pick items a lot of times from the floor or shelves. I went to get a cart after I found I need one and I two items fall on the floor while I was trying pick it up, one of the staff Amazing person she came helped me with pick up items She was nice friendly I forget to see her name or asked her [American African tall lady ] at costumers services front desk she was great Thank you ? !”

“This is a great local grocery store with better produce than Safeway and much more convenient. The staff is friendly and helpful and they don't need multiple security guards and gates at the exit. They also carry great local products that are better than national brands. This is my go to for day-to-day groceries.”

“Expect decent quality and variety of most grocery items, produce was a little old when I went, but not expired completely. The staff was helpful and kind. Very pricey, but glad to have a grocery store option close to my house. Store was clean.”

“A hidden gem in El Cerrito featuring household Korean foods. I came here looking for bean paste for a soup and tried some of the kimchi others were talking about.The kimchi they make here is exceptional. It is what I think about when I'm eating lesser kimchi at Korean restaurants or other grocery stores. I will continue to buy it here. By the tub.”

“If you're looking for very traditional Brazilian items this place has it all! Prices are very fair and variety of items is exceptional! This is by far the best place to get all the items from back home! Staff is friendly as well!”

“I was skeptical about coming to this store because of the bad reviews. But this store was the only Safeway near the el Cerrito Bart station, so I had no choice. I came here for something to eat for lunch because I had a gift card. I walked in and seen one security card at the door and I expected him to say something about my backpack I was wearing because of the reviews but he didn't give me a hard time. I wanted a sandwich so I walked to the sandwich making station but a lady said they were closed, so I had to pick a pre made sandwich. I then went to get some chips, I couldn't find any small bags of chips so I asked this lady putting boxes away but she said she didn't work here. Which pissed me off just a little because she was obviously lying. But I eventually found the chips I wanted. I headed to check out but none of the lines were open, just the self checkout, which I had no problem with. Ambiance wise: The self checkout is kind of hidden because there are rows of snacks and drinks surrounding the area. Overall It's not that bad, it's just the employees come off as having an attitude like they don't want to be there.”

“This is our favorite place to go for a whole side of Salmon when it's on sale. It's typically $10.99 or $11.99 per pound when it's on sale. And it is just delicious when it cooks up.”
