2368 Clarke Ave, Palo Alto“Great family-owned business with a wide selection of food and drink items. Their ice cream freezers are always stocked up. I really enjoy the energy drink options.”
“Ah, Trader Joe's in Palo Alto—the kaleidoscopic bazaar where Silicon Valley's brainteasers and code wizards break bread—or rather, snap up gluten-free, organic sourdough! It's the Oracle of Delphi for your dietary needs; a place so charmingly quirky, it makes even the eccentricities of Leiland Stanford seem tame. Ah yes, the founding father of Stanford, the man whose legacy is as mixed as the store's trail mix—innovative yet fraught with murky ethics.Let us also pay homage to that resilient old Asian fellow who briefly exited stage left atop Coit Tower. In him, we see the audacity of Palo Alto—ever striving, even when the universe demands a timeout.Five dazzling stars! For where else but this Trader Joe's can one contemplate the enigmas of Bay Area history while filling one's basket with 'Everything But The Bagel' seasoning? A grocery shopping experience as multi-layered as the city it serves!”
“Close to home and so much good stuff! The market has a great selection of organic produce, the best bakery, and a wonderful selection of cheeses and dairy products. Also at the plaza a bagel factory run by an experienced and seasoned bagel maker. Get them hot throughout the day. You’ll also find orange Theory for high energy exercise. A famous chef Chinese restaurant, and a nail studio. Shop local!”
“Abundant with lovely fruits! While Piazza's prices often exceed my budget for similar items found elsewhere, this charming Palo Alto neighborhood grocer offers me a delightful walk, window shopping, tasty sandwiches, and a warm, friendly staff.”
“Bought freshly spiced & seasoned (as we waited) Carne Asada Taco meat. Not cheap but beatiful - with guacamole, refried beans and rice it made the best BBQ taco meal I have ever had ?”
“A nice store located in a small strip mall with Starbucks Coffee, Orangetheory Fitness, House of Bagels, Shell Gas Station, etc. The small parking lot can get crowded during peak hours. As you walk in the store, you notice their large produce area of locally farmed fruits and vegetables. They have a deli station, butcher area, bakery, nice selection of cheeses, etc. The lady at the deli counter was nice. As she was preparing my sandwich, I just window shopped. I had their Cuban Sandwich before. The Cuban: Sweet Roll, porchetta, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and yellow mustard. The sandwich was warm and toasty. It was a good meaty sandwich. *Not the pre-packaged one pictured here*”
“Mollie Stones offers a similar high-quality shopping experience to Whole Foods, minus the pretentiousness. If you're on a tight budget, it may not be the best choice, but if you're in search of top-notch meats, fresh produce, an extensive wine and liquor selection, and exceptional customer service, then Mollie Stones is your go-to destination.”
“For 50 years Country Sun has been a part of my life. I'll always feel grateful for the kindness of the folks working there and the warm welcoming feeling of the space. My favorite was when they had a sandwich bar. I would always eat the tofu salad sandwich and wash it down with a half gallon of milk. Much love to you all. A reminder that all is temporary. This experience, here and now, is a bus stop.”

2811 Middlefield Rd, Palo Alto“Had some time before church on a Sunday and decided to stop by to grab some groceries This Safeway is pretty much like any other Safeway with the usual deli, produce, and refrigerator sections. In the span of 10 minutes -- I ended up putting a coconut milk, a People magazine, and Nature Valley granola bars variety pack. I also used the self-check.”
