The…read moreolder gentleman manning the shop was taking a break outside, saw us approaching, and immediately went to open up. It's a cute and cozy shop filled to the brim with European goodies. Lots and lots of chocolate and snacks (gummies, candies, biscuits, cookies, etc.), dried pasta, sauces, soup mixes, and so much more. Definitely a lot to look and and the variety is top notch with lots that are difficult to find elsewhere if you're not specifically at a European market. While checking out, I was eyeballing some of the chocolates that they had at the counter and the gentleman working was super nice enough to give my boyfriend and I some samples. Super friendly, welcoming, and giving the best grandpa vibes ever. I got some tea biscuits of various sizes and some really fun looking Garfield hazelnut wafer cookies and my boyfriend got himself some pasta and dried soups. Definitely will stop by again the next time I'm in the area.

My friends gave me warning for being over charged before going to the store so I was paying…read moreattention when the employee was scanning the items and he noticed it. I paid $100 in cash and I received $5.63 back. I checked the receipt as I was walking out. The receipt showed change back of $7.63. I was shorted $2. I went right back inside and presented my receipt and the change back. The employee apologized and gave me back $2. I should mention that they were not super busy at all. 2 star is for not trusting the check out process. I will go back there again for shopping with full attention to scanning and checking the receipt. The management needs to work on gaining the public trust back. I reversed the review to 5stars for timely response from the business.

They admitted they only caught the error because I contacted them. When I said I'd still keep the order and wait, they cancelled and refunded it anyway without asking. Then came the texts: I should find another Bordier vendor because they're "obviously not up to your customer service experience standard," followed by "There's nothing more I can do. Feel free to leave bad reviews." (Screenshot attached.) The refund was quick and there were plenty of apologies, but cancelling against my explicit wishes and then telling me to shop elsewhere was the worst customer-service experience I've had with a specialty food shop.

I called the store and was told to return them. When I came back, instead of addressing the issue, the employee tried to place the blame on me for not bringing the receipt, shifting the focus away from the fact that spoiled food had been sold. I then received a silent cash refund placed on the counter -- no apology, no explanation, and no acknowledgment of the problem. Selling food that smells spoiled is unacceptable. Handling it without even basic courtesy makes it worse. Very disappointing experience. . 10 -- . . , , , , , . -- , , - . . . .

You can find a very nice selection of goods from various countries here.

We had just had lunch so we purchased a small cheesecake flavored ice cream bar to share and some Lebanese grilled olives to take home for later. We are for sure coming back for some frozen dumplings next time we're in the mood... they had a huge selection. Fun!

I could dwell in my own pity without brandy beans or could just do something about it. I drove myself here to Palo Alto - come rain, sleet or snow I'm going to get my brandy beans. Brandy beans they had - The shooters in various liquor flavors and the "weinbrandbohnen" in both small and large boxes. While I was there I grabbed some tea and bread and some chocolate squared.

Here, you can get a pound of banh cuon for $6-$8. Now this place is not for the faint of heart. You can easily mistaken it for an old storefront that's been abandoned. Pre-Covid, you could eat in the shop. When the pandemic hit, they started only taking orders through a window/counter and it's been like that since. When you peer through the window, it might make you question your decisions and make you want to turn right around. Stay, and you'll get some pretty good and cheap banh cuon! We got 3 pounds of banh cuon with meat. Was it the best banh cuon I've ever had? Probably not. Was it good for $8/lb? HELL YEAH. We'd come back. I've never been but my mom says their other location is cleaner. Although this place definitely didn't look that clean, it didn't bother me enough to go out of the way just to go to their other location. I was worried we would have trouble finding parking based on all the reviews but it wasn't too bad. We didn't have too much trouble on a Saturday afternoon.
