2020 Redwood Hwy, Greenbrae“Pretty happy with their imported beer selection since some of it is hard to find. They have westmalle dubbel & trippel, rochefort 6 8 10, saisons and lambic, and a decent amount of German hef, helles & dubbelbock. Did not see Orval though, possibly sold out.”
“Great food. Great selection of almost everything. Amazing customer service with a smile ☺️? and clean. Easy to park. Great views right at the marina. The best hot, fresh marinated teriyaki flank steak sandwich on sourdough roll I have ever had, at not a bad price either. Gotta see this place and eat here at the marina!”

900 North Point St F-201, San Francisco“Me and my partner love this place the boba is great and so are the snack foods. The only issue I have is the last time we went which wasn't that long ago less than a month I'd say and we booked a 90 minute time window and we were able to do the course multiple times. But this time when we tried to do another round because we had an hour left in our time window we were told that it would be extra to do another round. I'm fine with that if it was advertised like that, instead of allowing us to book a 90 minute window instead maybe say "1 round that may take up to 90 minutes" or something along those lines. Other than that amazing place to have fun.”
“I really appreciate this fourth generation family owned business. Sandwiches are fab, they have the best specialty products (especially sweets), and they carry all the basics. Docking one star because the prices are astronomically high. Luckily, if you mention Kiddo at the register, they will donate a percentage of your total cost to local public schools”

913 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, Kentfield“This is my favorite place for lunch, French dip sandwich is amazing! So are all the sandwiches, and the staff is super friendly and nice everyday. Best deli ever! I would give it 6 stars if I could. I moved here from the east coast and these folks do it right! You can’t go wrong in there.”
“Fresh and delicious with such a friendly team!Amazing local sandwiches / subs. The bread is from Boutin just down the road. Delicious sourdough loaves.The meat is Boar’s Head and a great selection.Really good portion sizes and all served with a pleasure and a smile.Very much recommended if you are in Fisherman’s Wharf.”
“Fantastic olive oil and vinegar! My roommate and I picked up the white truffle olive oil and date balsamic vinegar and we love it! Its like liquid gold! Rex was fantastic as well and answered all my questions and made great conversation! Highly recommend! Curious to try the alcohol as well now!”
“While not quite the nirvana as the name suggests, Paradise Wine & Spirits can be a wonderful oasis for your boozy needs. You'll find them in East Corte Madera in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it location (a hop/skip/and jump away from Nugget Market). This liquor store's been a Marin County staple for years. I remember trying to buy beer here with my fake ID in high school over 20 years ago (spoiler alert: it didn't work). This place ain't fancy by any means. You'll pretty much find beer, spirits, candy, snacks, and some random canned food & cleaning products. It's not exactly what I think about when I hear the word "Paradise," but this place always has what you need when you're in a jam, so in a way, I could argue that's quite heavenly. Long review short, this is a solid liquor/convenient store option when you're in Marin. They have plenty of free parking in the front. And I gotta give them props for adhering to all the proper Covid-19 safety guidelines (masks, gloves, and a glass partition between the customer and cashier).”

1 Tewksbury Ave, Richmond“I've been coming here since I was a little kid. Sometimes the owners change or the people behind the counter change. It's always a nice experience though, not sure what it is but people always seem happy in the store whether it's the customers or the people working there. The Indian food is really good, its very homestyle not super heavy with cream or ghee.”
“It's been here forever...it's a nice place w all the liquor u can buy n a fast n friendly staff...courteous but firm in their policies....it's not much of a great look outside but it's safe n clean....go check it out....it's ok n the owner is a nice man....no Marin attitude or snotty looks...the store is been there forever n deserves to be patronized for if anything...it's longevity n dealings w customers....I like it n I'm hard to please sometimes but it really is a nice place....if a few malcontents are slithering outside don't worry....they keep an eye out..”
“Have to say, I agree with Abraham below! These gentlemen were exceptionally helpful with a delivery I needed—and I'll say several other stores declined (Blackwell's included). The package arrived carefully packed for cross-country delivery within a two week window. These days it feels better than ever to be treated with respect and to bet met halfway with reasonable requests. I'm not from the area, but I can certainly suggest this shop for its wonderful customer service and selection. Enjoy!”
“To completely honest, Souvenir was the highlight of our visit to San Anselmo. This wine and vinyl shop is both aesthetically pleasing with the substance to match. Love the book selection in the back. The owner was super kind and helped us select a bottle to gift. Highly, highly recommend swinging by if you're in the area.”

155 W Richmond Ave., Richmond“Love this little store! The employees are amazing and it has everything you need. Beware of the uppity white old customers. They will cut you in line just to ask the cashier ten questions, and slow you down, when you were an easy checkout, unlike them. Happens every time I go here. Other then that I love it here.”
“What a wonderful little bodega! They have so many products to cook authentic Spanish meals - complete with cooking and serving wear you'd find in most bars and restaurants across Spain. I didn't have time to browse the wine selection but they seemed to have a great variety. It's also a great store for to put together a white elephant gift basket...I'll be back soon!”

1556 4th St, San Rafael“This liquor store is a market with lots of variety. It has a good selection of non-alcoholic beverages like juice. It's a fun place to explore and see what they have just in case you don't want to go to the grocery.”
“I just called to find a wine that turns out they don't have in stock. I called to save myself an unnecessary journey. A person named Ricky was so patient and thoroughly checked. He was alone and couldn't ask anyone else. He'd only been working there 2 days which is why he wasn't sure and checked so thoroughly. They are lucky to have him. Such a kind and helpful person!!”
“This store is FANTASTIC! As a realtor, I was looking for a place to host my First Time Home Buyer Happy Hour Class and Total Wine checked all the boxes. Anthony, the manager, and Albert provided amazing customer service in helping us schedule the room, familiarize ourselves with the tech, order wine, and handle all details. They have the widest, best selection of wines and spirits...I could spend so long walking around the store. We have already scheduled our next event at this Total Wine and look forward to it. Top notch, friendly customer service. Thank you, Anthony!”
“A great little liquor and convenience store in Larkspur/Corte Madera. Colonial Liquors has kind staff, great selection of both alcohol (beer, wine, liquor, etc.) as well as food and snacks and normal drinks.”

36 Medway Rd, San Rafael“Amazing alcohol selection and incredibly fast, friendly, and polite staff. Their beer and canned cocktail selection is the best I've found in the area. Good amount of parking. The place can get very busy around when people get off work. But even at its peak rush I've never had to wait long. Always clean, organized, and well maintained.”

1018 Columbus Ave, San Francisco“Absolutely scrumptious quesadilla! Spending a long weekend in the city I get a late night craving for good Mexican food. I discovered this Yelp recommend taqueria in a liquor store Friday and Saturday nights. I suppose a sort of pop-up kitchen. I was devastated when Friday they didn't have the food kitchen going. I was reassured by the charming store owner that I could come back the next night for their food that she highly recommended. I returned and she remembered me and pointed out to the celebrated chef that I was the person she had hoped would return. How awesome is that! Well the Carnitas Quesadilla exceeded already high expectations. Looking forward to trying more items there soon!”

393 Miller Ave, Mill Valley“Visited this store four times in the last year. At all times the attendants were friendly, helpful, giving me suggestions regarding different beverages. Pricing was fair and consistent with all of my purchases. Found some items I could not locate elsewhere. The chemistry between buyer and seller is always in flux. I was always made to feel welcome. Would recommend this store and will patronize again.”
“Excellent selection of a great Scotch at reasonable prices. Totally unlike the pirate re-sellers. Ok, it's a wine place, but it's my to-go spot for hard to find Scotch. I just ordered online and got it delivered. Yea, I'm in Costa Mesa, home of one of the better liquor stores in the country (and I don't mean Total Wine and More). This place has Scotch they never carry. Cheers.”

3098 Polk St, San Francisco“It's a nice little location. Just up the street from Ghirardelli square. A block up from the Maritime Museum and fisherman's wharf. Convenient access to buses 30,19,49 and 47. I believe it's Galileo High School That's right across the street from the store. The architecture of the HS buildings I'd always felt that they just fits the area. Although I've never been in any of them, it Just a really nice area with access to a lot of really interesting places and what's really good is major bus lines that cross each other that'll get you anywhere in the city.”
“A very nice store with well-made furniture at good prices, plus a fun-to-browse assortment of food and sundries. Staff just could not have been any nicer--thanks for making sure the chair fit in my car, and got home safely in the rain!”
