    Compromised packaging? All that and more.

    As if 5x the price of food isn't enough? As if selling past date products and switching bread labels isn't enough? As if management introduced cashier tips on cards then STOLE them without explanation wasn't enough? Now they removed the cash tip jars!!! This pathetic, selfishly run bootleg out fit best answer my review. You pay a non living wage and sell rotten food. I have proof. Next stop the city of Alameda to report unfair labor practices and vending unsafe food. Rotten veggies, moldy fruit, curdled cheese and rude management should know that I and others are on to their garbage can tactics. Ambience is filthy.

    WHAT, how do I NOT have a Yelp review here... Quality/Quantity - Nice local small marketplace, supermarket. My daughter has been driving 30+ miles for her sashimi grade fish and I suggested she come here instead. So today, I mainly came to share and prove to her that they sell it here. See pictures. Other departments that we frequent are: Coffee shop, Greens & Grains Salad restaurant, Farmstead Cheese & Wine, Sushi King, Feel Good Bakery, Tahina (one of our favorite restaurants), East End (one of our favorite happy hours, $1 oysters, etc), and of course the grocery departments, etc. These departments and businesses are all independent and locally owned. Is the tea shop new? But closed or soon to be open...? I have not seen this here in the past. My wife bought a few loaves of bread today. Atmosphere - Clean, a locally organized medium size supermarket. Plenty of mall parking. Indoor/outdoor seating. Service - Good. Price - Slightly above average, but that is the cost for quality. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2002, we are long time customers. I still remember East End used to be where Tahina is now.

    Definitely stop through here if you're looking for some unique items. Its giving cute/fancy market place & has other vendors in there but still has a wide variety of well stocked shelves. I just stopped by for the first time to pick up a Burma Love Vegan Tea Leaf salad kit & thankfully they had a few in stock. I did call before to check they carried it but didn't ask specifically for the vegan version so I was grateful they had it, I'm not sure if they usually carry the original/spicy kit but they had other grab n go Burma love products . Even though I was only in there for 5 min, I still scanned a few isles & was able to find a bunch of vegan options, so I grabbed my fav MyForest Foods Bacon, So Delicious Whip, lions mane burger patty & some Tamales. This is close to my house so it'll def be a go to for my vegan needs. I'd say the prices are on par with the usual costs for these types of items, if your a vegan you already know Also the staff on the phone were pleasant & the person at the register was about to close & walking away but saw I was heading her way, so she waved me over & met me at the register

    ** The following review reflects my experience DURING the COVID-19 pandemic. ** This red brick building is actually a key touch point for me and Jamie W. because we sometimes stroll Park Street from Alameda Beach to here and then back again. On a fair weather weekend, it's a pleasant walk because there are lots of places to stop and grab a bite. What makes this destination attractive is that there are ten separate businesses housed in here, and they've been able to control the foot traffic to survive this pandemic. You enter from the parking lot side, and you may have to wait a bit if it's busier than usual. We've had the huge salads at Greens & Grains and the hand rolls at Sushi King. An extensive butchery and bakery anchor the line of shops, but most of the space is actually devoted to the organic offerings in the Alameda Natural Grocery store. I've never been disappointed with the produce selection here. This gourmand's emporium is well worth a stop given all the necessary precautions. RELATED - Exploring Alameda?

    I like this Market!! I was in here pre corona, so I don't know about current changes. It's a little pricey, and the parking lot is a little cramped sometimes, but inside I saw a sushi place, pizza place and a bakery inside. All are very small with very limited seating, basically it's set up to go. The market has a nice sized wine collection area, and the market itself is bigger than the other areas. I did like their juice selection. Good place!!

    Quick visit since i went to Feel Good Bakery for some items. I'll definitely have to return and peruse the other places located in this cool place..i saw Farmstead Cheese and Wine, pizza place, a sushi place and specialty/gourmet groceries. I was definitely impressed with the variety and will be back soon!

    Sort of an industrial chic feel to this place, very similar set up to the one in the city on 10th and Market... only this one is smaller. A bakery, meat and seafood, natural grocery store, cheese and wine, the Beanery, East End and more. The Bakery is ok for lunch, even better for dessert. Its expensive but some of the stuff is really good. For example they have the most beautiful pies around. East End is known for pizza chicken and drinks. Baron's meat is known great meat including more unusual meats - rabbit/goose and grass fed local/sustainable Organic groceries and health supplements. There is a restroom that operates on coins just past the butcher. Grab a token when you are at the register. Parking is ok - spaces are small. Out door seating. Very pleasant experience.

    Covid-19 line facilitator needs an attitude adjustment. Maybe take a note from Trader Joe's. Otherwise, this store is great.

    I don't come here as often as I used to…read more Quality/Quantity - I only buy very selected items from this brand. Brand name pork (chicken in the past). Produce. Atmosphere - Plenty of parking. Easy in and out of the freeway. Open 7 days a week from 6am to 10pm. Updated 8/24/22. Service - Self service, but good in stock conditions. I especially like this brand when it comes to ad items, they almost always have it in stock; unlike their competitors! Price - Affordable, but I only buy certain groceries from this brand. And I do not visit here often. Owner Comment - I did not know that Save Mart owns you; I learned something new. Congrats on your success since 1986, and Savemart's success since 1952. Did Lucky just acquire you? Or is that a part of Kingswood Capital? 2021 - 53+ Foodmaxx locations in CA & NV. 2022 - Acquired by Kingswood Capital Management.

    Great prices on everything - no price gimmicks, lines at registers move more quickly than you'd…read morethink, lots of parking and next to a police sub station. Great prices on everything an no coupons, no apps, no club memberships or chronic and annoying emails or phone app notifications (looking at you Safeway). Prices on everything - meat, jam, cereal, bread is all decent without having to buy on a certain day or jump through certain hoops. I feel as if corporations using coupons is sort of like treating human shoppers as circus animals and seeing how far they will jump for a treat (a few dollars off). I do gravitate toward Walmart and Whole Foods - I think because there are no pricing games (WF now has a few with Prime discounts) and I value my time of not deleting emails for deals every day. Also the time saved looking for certain sizes of certain brands that fit a coupon. To me there is nothing more mentally exhausting than bargain shopping. No shade toward people who have extra time to do this - and who perhaps enjoy a scavenger hunt. Lines at the register you would imagine would be terrible. I've never found this to be true. I've also been impressed with those that work here. They are honest and friendly enough and pleasant to be around. To me in general they seem very hard working and down to earth. Lots of parking. The lot is sufficient for all the stores there. Notable also is the direct neighbor is a police sub station. For the longest time it was unmarked but very recently there is a new sign up. All through the pandemic they boarded up the windows and put a robot police man there that would sometimes 'walk' through the parking lot.
