I’ve tried to like this store and I have given it multiple chances, but I’m always disappointed and irritated by the time I leave. The items are marked up quite a lot, which makes sense for a boutique corner store. However, they either don’t label or incorrectly label their items, so that every time I’m checking out I’m surprised by the total. Today, I went in and got a couple of things 2 NA drinks, cilantro and an avocado and was charged $20. I left and looked at the receipt to find out they had charged me for two avocados, then looked at the receipt again and they had charged me for an item I didn’t even purchase. So I was refunded $6 and the employees were sassy about me asking for a refund!!! They also don’t take cash and have a credit card minimum. This place is absurd. I’m so over it. Also, every time I’m in the store I’m followed around for being Latina? And when I asked them to price check items they give me attitude.

No cash accepted, but also there is a minimum (or 50¢ credit card fee, which is not disclosed in any signage, and which there is no choice to avoid). Have been a frequent customer in the past, and the one time I think "oh I'll just grab a can of soda" on the way back from the gym, they have to be rude about something like that. Won't be supporting in the future.

Best market in Oakland hands down! The staff is absolutely phenomenal. Not only are they warm and welcoming but they are also SO knowledgeable about everything in their store. If you need any sort of wine, craft canned cocktail, beer, or really any sort of beverage THIS is the place.

Howden Market has a really nice selection of high-end alcohol with great customer service! I've been shopping here for years and always enjoy coming here. The building is really beautiful and inviting.

My favorite store in Oakland! Amazing selection of unique wine, spirits, beer and artisanal food and snacks that you will not be able to find anywhere else in the area.

I love this place! The people who work here are wonderful, the owner is wonderful - and the food selection is fantastic! For a small shop I continue to be amazed by things I find here that I haven't been able to find in way bigger places. They have my favorite rice crackers, which I discovered here, and my favorite vegan ice cream. It's a half an hour walk for me, not big but not small, but I'd walk an hour to shop here! If you haven't been by, it's time to try it and to support a truly wonderful locally-owned woman-owned business!!

Purchased a probiotic drink and as I was walking out I noticed a ginger beer drink that caught my eye. I picked it up turned around to head to the cashier to pay for it and noticed possibly the owner or manager watching me.I am 51 years old, male Hispanic, about 5'6" and dress in an average manner and have an easy going demeanor. I have been profiled my whole life and am really tired. I noticed at least one other reviewer had the same experience. I will not shop here again and encourage others not to patronize this business and for anyone else who has had a similar experience to post their review.

Amazing products and reasonable prices. Selection is unique and probably the most under-rated market in the Greater Oakland Area!Their staff is super friendly too!

Came in the other day to pick up a few things. After I bought my stuff I realized I was overcharged for a couple items. I came back and asked about it. They said they were going to refund me but they ended up charging me MORE which I didn’t see in my credit card until two days later.Pretty dissatisfied and disappointed. Their phone number didn’t work. Hopefully they reach out to me and try to fix this.

Wildly overpriced would be an understatement. Nice store, decent people. During covid they were pretty rude then the shop got ran into by a car, and now prices are worse than they used to be!
