The worker greeted us immediately he was very kind! He even had a white board of recommendation that the customers could put products on it if they didn't have an item! Very clean, had everything you needed! read more

Amazing neighborhood market with a wide selection of all items. Perfect to stop in and grab a drink or try new items you haven't seen before. The stores interior is well designed and the ambiance is very modern and welcoming. Service is always great and friendly. read more

What a disaster for the locals. Alcohol, candy and cigarettes. Rude employees, horrible lighting, sterile and unfriendly. No ambiance other than maybe for the over the hill crowd. I've tried to buy at least a dozen items that the old store had that this new incarnation of a so called market doesn't stock. I just have nothing good to say, and so miss the old Circle Market. read more

Don't buy the collectibles on the counter from here, they are fake. Bought a couple and they are obviously fake.

Pretty much the same as the nearby Santa Cruz Market, with a slightly bigger selection of alcohol and non-food items. Unfortunately, all the things here are about 1.25X - 1.5X the price that they are at the Santa Cruz Market, or other places like 7-11 etc. Also, they don't take EBT. If the Santa Cruz Market and Safeway weren't both less than 3 blocks away, I'd probably shop here more but as it is there's not much reason to. read more

I might be a little biased, because I live just a few hundred feet away. Decent beer selection, they got a ton of wine, a few aisles of (mostly non-perishable) food, and aisles with stuff like cleaning supplies. Check the dates on what you get though. I've had soda from there that's long past it's prime... was kinda flat. You don't gotta worry about the beer being old though. Believe me, that's got a quick turnover. The guy and/or his wife are there until 10pm, and that's a slight advantage over the Santa Cruz Market on California Ave, which closes at 9pm. It's really nice to have these two markets smack in the middle of the neighborhood. I'm sure the zoning on them is rather ancient. I'd say this one's around 3.5 stars but I'll round up. read more

The other reviews that mention that it is more of a liquor store than a convenience store are half right. For me, (a single mother living on the westside) I love that I can quickly run into Circle Market for a gallon of milk or a loaf of bread, rather than trying to keep my 4 and 6 year olds under control and from running off in Safeway. After a good school week, my boys Friday treat is to pick up an ice cream at Circle Market on the way home . The owners are beyond amazing! They recognize us as soon as we walk in and welcome my boys by name. Circle Market is a great community business! read more

Owner is the best! Even stays open late when you out on a stroll. The Circle is the key to the Westside!

I turned 21 on the Monday before I came here. I came here on a Wednesday. And I do have a young looking face. But when I hand you my legal ID, and you still refuse to let me purchase alcohol, you are being unprofessional and rude. I get that underage drinking is an issue... But being refused when I am legally allowed to purchase those items simply because I look young...I am not happy. I will continue to share with other friends and neighbors to shop elsewhere if they want to be taken seriously. read more

The Korean owner is friendly but it's really not a very good convenience store. If you're in the area, head for the convenience store on California. I forget the name but it's only a few blocks down from this one. The one on California is also Korean owned. read more

Good place to buy beer before heading to the beach or derby or wherever you're going on the west side.

Double check anything sold here with an expiration date. The beer selection gets 4 stars (they are competitively priced with Safeway located down the street). The owners are super nice and get 5 stars. I've had several bad experiences with the food. The selection of food and non-alcoholic items is pretty sparse. I've bought crackers, chips, and Kombucha at the store, all of which turned out to be well passed the expiration date and stale/rotten. Overall, good for traditional liquor store items. Poor for market type items. read more

You know it's all about the westside! Say whats up to Zhang, or "Bruce" as the locals call him, and pick up some of the coldest beer in town. Try your luck with a lotto ticket on the way out. read more

If I could give no stars I would! First off one star is for that it's walking distance but two words for this place RIP off!!!! Bought a four pack of grapefruit soda and it was $8!!! wtf?? 3 items Costed me $16. And one of the items was a sparking water.. He types in more fees in there and it's just all kinds of shady there!! Plus on top of it he hasn't dusted in about 10 years... And everything is expired.. Walk the extra couple blocks and go to the better market. Sick of being ripped off here! read more

I've always tried to like this market and most of my friends dig Bruce but I prefer the Santa cru market I've seen the wife following would be thieves around and making them feel uncomfortable for no reason the stock is a little bit in need of a dusting and a marker should be used to change the dates on the food items all that a side hey gotta love the peanut gallery on the westside read more
