Reviews
I absolutely adored their selection of bulk items and natural health/beauty section. Found a few items here that I wasn't expecting to find in person anywhere! The one thing that I wasn't able to find was white vinegar for cleaning unfortunately, but that can be found at most other large grocers so not a big deal. The staff and atmosphere were also very friendly :)
It's ironic, but I love their simple sandwich; it's perfect. I also enjoyed their fried rice. Their lemon dessert is fantastic. I can't remember the exact type, but if I see it on the menu, I'll order it. Regarding customer service, I found the girls more approachable than the guys. It's okay, but it does make me question their overall customer service. Even though I don't live in the Bay Area, the ambiance looks nice. I've eaten both inside and outside. The only downside is that I wish they delivered to my job so I wouldn't have to drive or take an Uber and better chips . Not a big deal! Ha ha.
Last minute nite family request for butter mochi and NO vanilla extract. I ran to the store and the cashier directed me. This was first time in the store as I usually go to the Berkeley Bowl I'll try again to see but the assistance in mt "emergency " gives this rating
Good vegetarian options in a cheerful atmosphere. Healthy options abounded too. Prices were reasonable.
