  Love coming here, pricing is reasonable for quality and is cheaper than other health food stores plus they have an immense selection of items. Literally I can get overwhelmed by the shear number of individual items they have. The mushrooms and pears were so gorgeous last time I was there. Plus they sell my fav bagels ever.

  Easily a Chef's dream, I was totally nerding out! I took some pictures; the produce and bulk selection is really where it's at! Mushroom selection is such an attraction, too many apple varieties to pick from, and so many bulk flours and grains. See my pictures... I wish I took pictures of their bulk items, you'll just have to visit :)

  A grocery store with a huge amount of variety. Pretty expensive, but it also has things other stores don't, especially when it comes to produce - probably a bigger produce section than any nearby grocery chain. Also, one of their biggest assets is wholesale food, as it's bigger than most competitors with more options like pasta, rice and tea. They're a co-op, and treat their workers better than other grocery stores. That being said, the parking right next to the store is awful, you need to park across the street if you don't want to risk your life in a blind turn down into the garage. As for food, while they have many things other places don't, it goes both ways - they don't have things other grocery stores do. Unsurprisingly, most of the examples of this are processed foods, like certain sodas, chips, and frozen foods. Some more common items like lemon juice aren't sold in large quantities, but rather only in small sizes. Last gripe for me personally is the crowd compared to the size. Here, you're always in the way of someone, there's barely enough room in aisles for two carts to pass each other, so you usually end up placing your cart in the empty areas of produce while you scavenge the more narrow aisles. Basically: this place is great for small grocery trips to find the few things you're missing / a few unique items, or it's good for all your groceries if you have a little extra money to spend and aren't a fan of processed foods.

  I love this place. The variety of goods is high. I've seen beautiful vegetables there that you might not find them in one place. Tons of kinds of mushrooms and so on. I like that the things are almost always in the same space so you can find them pretty easily. I love the soap section and I always have to stop by them for the amazing fragrances that come from them. It could get busy but lines move relatively fast.

  This is the greatest grocery store on earth!!! It is absolutely part of the reason I cannot leave the bay- the produce section alone is to die for. You will never ever see the variety of things you will see here all in one place anywhere else. Everything is priced fairly except mainstays & corporate food that you’d find in Safeway - so I usually visit both grocery stores weekly for different things. As for veggies, meats, nuts, dry goods, bread, butter, eggs, you’re not going to find better selection, variety , & prices. They also carry specialty ethnic items- for example the last time I saw durian for sale was when I was visiting family in the Philippines. Just an incredible place- their pre made food & deli are of exceptional quality. So is the seeds & flower section. As a gardener & cook, this place is a heaven of potential- I am so lucky to be able to shop in a place like this.
