I love my neighborhood spot with Marco at the helm. Positive vibes always and can always grab Something needed in a pinch. read more

Alex Market is the little market that could! They have an amazing selection in a VERY small space. Most of the brands are local and/or organic which offers a contrast from a lot of other bodegas. They even have my favorite gluten free bread (Bread Srsly). The owner and staff are very friendly and greet regular customers warmly. Recommended if you are in the area! read more

Wonderful little store we're lucky to have in our neighborhood. Marcos, the owner, has the right perspective. Like any business, he's trying to make a profit, but also with the mission to serve the community with high quality products and a welcoming spirit. Besides many organic and premium products, he also keeps a supply of produce, even though I'm sure he doesn't make much (if anything) from them. You're going to pay a bit more than a big box store, of course, which is to be expected with a low volume operation. read more

My new go-to corner store for odds and ends! Stopped by this little market on Sacramento hoping to score some toilet paper (Yey shortages!) and was not only successful, but also found organic creamer, eggs and wine! Hugh quality products and fair pricing. Will definitely be frequenting this spot more often! read more

Alex Market is a minature Trader Joe's/Whole Foods. lots of gourmet food items, fresh fruit, chips, cereals, home supplies, beers. wines, cookies, baked goods, canned goods, frozen prepped food, etc. unfortunately few large bottle craft beers, just 6/4 packs. no premade ready to eat food not a lot of parking in front. buys: kombucha(3.99) -trying something to clean up my sensitive stomach too many bad meals lately? quick, courteous check out when i was ready... read more

Me and my daughter come here frequently to get some ice cream and whatever else we need. Always friendly with high quality stuff (Straus dairy, good chocolate, etc) and always some unusual choices. Newest is an awesome kombucha bar with deliciousness on tap, including CBD infused. read more

Support local business! I live a block away and Alex always greets me with a smile. I come here to buy things I missed at the grocery store or if I'm too busy to pick up groceries in general. They have all the essentials for young professionals like me--refreshing drinkis, chips, organic options, and all the basic snacks you would want. I'm really happy to have this market so close to my house. I only wish it was bigger! I'm also happy spending a little bit over wholesale grocery price if it means supporting a local business. Alex Market is definitely a staple in the West Berkeley community. read more

I believe it's easy to tell the difference between good people and bad people. See how most of the reviews are 5 star with a few notable exceptions. That's The difference. This is a wonderful little market with a huge selection for such a small place. They do great things for our community, besides being good people providing a great service. We're lucky to have them. read more

Really improved their selection during COVID. Fresh produce, dairy, ice cream, wine. They also tend to have things in stock that are hard to find such as TP, flour, and sanitizer read more

This is the best corner market ever! We are so lucky to live walking distance to this little gem. They've got a great selection of organic food and all the staples. read more

They never open on time! The owner is never there on time, that is a big problem. Some of the stuff is overpriced and mostly close to expiring! read more

Alex Market is a truly excellent little market with outstanding selection of all the basic necessities one would hope for in the corner store, and a whole lot more. Not only can you get the milk, eggs, flour, snacks, ice cream and basic toiletries, but Alex Market also has a surprisingly good selection of gluten-free food, fresh organic produce, and some of the best brands of root beer and other snack foods. The prices and selection of foods here is quite good and compares favorably to the bigger stores. There is an ATM here, and some people come for a newspaper, wire transfers, or lottery tickets as well. The owner, Adel, is a wonderful person who welcomes customers like good friends. read more

I cannot reach anyone at the store. I've tried calling their number and the line is disconnected. Has anyone visited this store lately?

Marcos and his crew of family and employees are Berkeley treasures. From selected produce, to dry ingredients, drinks, ice cream, groceries, even a dried bean I loved when living abroad in Southern Africa, somehow Alex Market has it all. It's a running joke in our house that Alex Market is the magic portal for the dinner ingredients you forget to get at the grocery store. Right around the corner from us, Alex Market has saved many a dinner in our house. read more

I've lived in this neighborhood for years, and the addition of this market has made our lives so much easier. It's a small but perfect little store. The owner is really nice and personable. And, game changer, I just went in and found out that they sell Humphrey Slocombe ice cream, just in time for my maternity leave. Swoon read more

This is a fantastic little market and the owner, Adel, is incredibly friendly. He's worked hard to bring a wide variety of items to the store as well as to make it a pleasant and inviting place to be. And if there's something you don't see in the store that you'd like, just ask him about it and he'll make a good effort to order and start offering it at the store. And one other thing you should ask Adel - why he named the store Alex Market. I guarantee the story will touch your heart : ) read more

I've been here a few times but just found out that they have a UPS shipping dropoff. Super convenient for Amazon returns. With 10 minute parking right outside if I'm driving or walkable from home, I will definitely be back! Way better than fighting for a spot on Shattuck Avenue at the UPS store. read more

Great selection for the size, friendly staff, doing an amazing service keeping the neighborhood well stocked in the pandemic. thank you from your neighbors!! read more

This is by far the greatest, healthiest, nicest and most affordable local store in this beautiful neighborhood. All items are well picked, nicely packed and moderately priced, from organic produce to healthy drinks. Adel (the friendly and cheerful owner) constantly adds new recommended items and offers samples. It feels great to see such successful small businesses grow and develop. Thank you Alex Market! read more

The new owner Marco, is a top notch bloke who runs a top notch mini market. He's really brought this store to a whole new standard. I seriously love this mini market. He always greets me with a smile and asks if I need help. He keeps his shop super clean, organized, and stocked. He sells fresh produce, sodas, chips, beer/wine, so much ice cream , and more... I wouldn't recommend another mini market. This is the place to find what you need and chat with a genuinely good hearted person. read more

What a great addition to South Berkeley! It's great to finally have a "convenience" store that offers fresh, organic vegetables, tasty and healthy grocery items, and of course your basic household items. They even now have some home made food! The people are always super friendly and they're willing to stock new items if you ask. Total five star experience. read more

The saga of the refused packages continues. I am all for supporting local businesses but that is a two-way street. Alex's Market should post a sign that alerts customers of restrictions for the UPS Access Point or get out of the UPS business. I have already spent close to 9 hours unraveling the trouble this business has caused me. read more

This is the best corner market I've ever been to, hands down. Everything is as cheap as it is in a grocery store. Has all the essentials like toiletries and laundry soap. Food options range from run of the mill soda/microwave burritos to healthy, organic options like Amys pizza, a variety of affordable local cheeses, three twins ice cream. Alex is always so friendly and helpful, just a really nice guy. This is what I imagine corner markets were like when things were simpler. read more

Very nice neighborhood corner store that has organic and/or Non-GMO Verified food items!!. Staff and owner are friendly and helpful. Although their selection is not that big, what they do offer is excellent. They are also an UPS location site for picking up packages for all those who live near near. This is certainly a 5 star store. read more

Gotta love Alex Market. The pickles are made in house and are top notch, also try the pickled turnips and beets they are literally un-beet-able! Only corner store around that features organic produce and other food options, unbelievable! Upon my most recent visit i met a local woman who was just raving about the place, we shook hands and exchanged names, it just felt so family orientated. 5 stars, 3 words: fun, fun, fun! read more

I love this place. Quite clean, neat and organized. I am always greeted by a friendly owner who is quite a knowledgeable about wine. I bought excellent international wines that he recommended at a very reasonable price. I purchased Moroccan, Greek and Palestinian red and white wines imported by Terra Sancta that were superb. I wish I discovered this place earlier. Perfect for your home or gifts. read more

Great little market the owner is super nice and they have a great selection of things they even have New York seltzer! I loved that as a kid! And they even have healthier choices instead of normal liquor store things! Keep up the good work ! read more

Alex Market is the best small grocery store around. Organic produce plus all the baking and cooking basics makes it a great stop! Also the best service from anywhere, and I'm loving their new branding! Highly recommended. read more

new ownership has this place run much better, better organization better products and fresher food, give it a look

Wonderful little market with lots of organic choices and everything you could need. Great resource for our west Berkeley neighborhood!

I love this place. It's well-stocked and neighborhood oriented. The owner is super sweet and community driven. I think the prices are better than Whole Foods, and love walking over here to do a small grocery shop! Tons of natural and organic choices and his fresh squeezed juice is delish! read more
