“Support local family owned businesses.
Well stocked, clean, organized. Easy to locate gluten free and vegan items. Caters to dietary needs. Parking in street or back.”
“I love Berkeley Bowl because they have fabulous fruits and vegetables - - both organic and conventional. They are really on top of their produce. There are lots of people working there to keep it clean. They have discounted produce that is super ripe--ready to take home and use.I prefer going early in the morning when it's less crowded. I find their aisles to be rather narrow when someone is coming the opposite direction. It can be hard to socially distance in their isles. They have lots of variety.They have fresh fish (wild and farmed) and meat (organic and conventional). I have found the butchers to be friendly and helpful.If you are a senior, they will give you a good cup of coffee (part of my morning ritual if I am there in the morning). They have a very nice bakery if you have a sweet tooth.Their cheese section has cheese from around the world. Besides the bakery with wonderful tasting desserts, they have fresh bread. There deli has Asian foods, Mexican, and desserts. During Covid times--take out only.They clean their shopping carts between uses, and don't let too many people in at once. You put your own groceries into your own bag--unless you buy a paper bag and they then bag it for you.For me, it is kind of a cross between a coop and a large grocery store. I love what they have to offer!!!”
“If you don't already shop at The Food Mill, you should start. It's a health food store that's been in Oakland since 1933. My current obsession is their crunchy peanut butter. You get a giant jar for under $10. It's freshly ground, so fluffy, nothing is added, and no stirring is needed! They also have a thousand bulk items, hard to find ingredients, fresh baked treats, lots of tasty fake meats, and the staff is so lovely and helpful.”
“Absolute gem for vegan/vegetarian Asian foods. They have a large variety of items at really affordable prices. Honestly nothing but great experiences and tastes here!!”
“Amit is very nice I believe he is the owner and has been there both times I've gone. Has just about everything in the store you'd get online but is also very knowledgeable. In body testing is available too which is nice every few months if you stay active!”
“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.”
“This is a hidden jewel and always an incredible experience, worth a visit! If you are looking for a tincture or a specific herb or incredible tea blends this is the place. I always learn something new about herbs and how best to take them here. I highly recommend Alembique!”

“Pretty good products/prices.The store is actually hilarious in how carricaturish it is: the customers who shop there are sort of a south park stereotype of your typical Berkeleyan. I suspect UCB is doing human cloning!”
“Sprouts id one of several markers I go to to round out my grocery shopping. Love the bulk bins, I just scan for what's on sale and buy that. Decent produce selection. And it's the only place I can find RW Garcia corn chips ehich”
“So glad that we stumbled upon this place. They have crystals, trinkets, candles, as well various teas and homeopathic items. I personally suffer from PCOS and western medicine items such as BC and such do not work for me and so I wanted to check the homeopathic and natural way. They had 2 different teas to help with PCOS and as well a ground up root that you can sprinkle in your tea or food. I am on day 2 and so I will see if this starts to take affect in the next month or so! Crossing fingers.”
“I was walking back to my car in Chinatown when i I found this special store. I was tired of eating vacation food and ran to this store to find the most delicious bean salad by epicurean solutions I'm a diehard fan!!!! I'll be visiting the kind gentleman who was working that Labor Day morning and be a regular on the weekends when I'm in the city. I love when I find a good store! It becomes my go to spot”
“Juan in the meat department is a great example of customer service. He listens, his quick and friendly. He is one of the reasons why I continuly return to pinole to purchase my fish. Thank you Juan...”

“I was Blessed today to receive a great gift from this company. I do believe in prayer for all things, but only God truly knows what your needs are.Thanks and Bless you.”
“I’m a firm believer in food justice and this market is located in downtown area near schools and multi-residential units which is awesome. It can get spendy but they have specials on fresh produce and it’s accessible to the community. Lots of vegan items and healthier alternatives for everyone! I scored my favorite cookie and strawberries because I learned my lesson yesterday- always bring your own snacks!”
“There's this girl that's short and have glasses and she's the mean one, she was very rude to my daughter and called her ugly but I get it she's is kinda ugly but the other employees were really sweet and nice AND RESPECTFUL, This employees her name is Alexa she's the sweetest and nicest person I've ever met gave my daughter a parfait for only $1 and she got happy because she loves parfait. They have great food in the store. They had great drinks and some are room temperature and some are cold . I wanted to give them a tip but there was no jar. Daniela she is the most amazing person in the store as well because she called my daughter pretty and she called my grandson cute. Daniela can keep my daughter because they look alike. She also gave me a free avocado because I didn't had enough money to buy it.I wanted to give Alexa and Daniela a huge huge big tip but like I said there was no jar. If it wasn't for them I would've give the store a 4 or a 3.Overall I'm going to rate this a 5.I won't let the girl with the glasses be rude my daughter and next time I see her I will talk with her manager.”
“This is a pretty decent Whole Foods.
The folks working there are pretty friendly & it is often reasonably well-stocked.
Never found this particular store to be overwhelmingly crowded/busy…@ least not comparative to some nearby WF locations.
Tho I have experienced occasional low stock/no stock on various common items from time-to-time, but that’s prob a regional issue of higher demand more broadly.
As such, some WF can get much more picked-over than this one (think: 3000 Telegraph).
Thus far, I have never found this store lacking in availability of free customer parking, which is located in the basement parking garage.
The entrance is bit tricky @ first:
If approaching from Telegraph (also where the store’s street-level front entrance is @) from there you’ll turn onto Claremont, but be prepared to make a very immediate right off Claremont, into a tiny side street (Clarke) & the parking garage driveway entrance will appear, on Clarke, just ahead on your right.
Lastly, re. parking:
Also located down in basement-level customer parking area in garage, are a handful of oft-available EVGO-branded charging terminals.
If memory serves:
1) the terminals are slow-to-mid speed, of the ‘50-100 kw/hour’ variety
2) personally, have not experienced this station possessing terminals which are chronically ‘out-of-service’…
[EV owner/renters are likely familiar w the annoying phenomenon referenced above…
terminals and/or entire charging stations which appear to be perpetually offline / OOSvc ?
..oh well—imo, even on its worst day—still beats paying for gas.]
Can’t think of any other relevant info offhand.
Happy shopping [& parking]!!
:-D”

“The best place for food. Be ready for all the choices. Be ready to explore and expand your culinary understanding. Treat yourself bring your prime membership for extra savings! I always feel like a kid on the way to the fair when I go.”
“I won't go on a North Berkeley rant but this WF market is nice. Pretty big and plenty of self checkout stations. Prices high but you can still find some value if you poke around a bit ?”
“This store looks much newer than the other store on telegraph, in Berkeley, and I really liked the local selection here as well. The only problem is that it's at a somewhat major intersection in Temescal and so traffic, and finding parking are both usually harder here at street level. Normally you can find a 10 min spot on the street though.”
“We stopped by Whole Foods on the weekend to purchase some items since we had manufactured coupons. The parking lot was busy but we were able to find a spot quickly as people kept coming in and out. When you first walk in, there are self check out station and a guard. There is also a customer service station allowing you to return your Amazon packages. Inside of the store, the aisles were not labeled according, so it was tough to locate many items that I was looking for. Even though it was a busy store, the items in the store is always stocked and cleaned. While using manufacturer coupons at checkout, the customer service representatives and other store customers made me feel unwelcome and it felt frustrating. I carefully planned my budget and since some of the coupons were not taken, the total went over the roof. I would definitely go back if their customer service representative is trained better.”
