Currently my favorite spot to shop outside of actually going to a farmer's market…read more Reasonable prices - similar to farmer's market and less than the Marketplace. They also seem to have more turnover than the Marketplace, so it's fresher. Their organic Granny Smiths are some of the best I have had - crisp, slightly sour and super juicy. They also carry a variety of microgreens. Interesting small producers in the pantry section. The service is always friendly and efficient. Request: carry maitakes! Then I don't need to make multiple stops around the island. Easy to park around the Central/Oak area. I neglected you for a few a years but I am back!

I don't even enjoy pasta, but am a sucker for their handmade raviolis, especially their butternut squash one. You can't leave without a loaf (or 2 ) of their olive rustic bread. Highly recommend for all carb lovers!

Hands-down, my favorite freshly made pastas and raviolis! They also make fresh sauces of all different varieties, which are very well made and delicious! The location at Strawberry Creek Park also does biscotti, half bake pizza, bread, I think that's their main hub so they have a bigger kitchen and do all kinds of deliciousness. The last time we went to the little location off Monterey close to the Monterey Fish market in Berkeley, or maybe it's Albany... Either way I chose the butternut squash raviolis, and they were freaking delicious!!!

Service was superb to the point ice was provided to keep hummus fresh till it arrived home. Offering (Greek): hummus, garlic spread, salad, olives, yogurt, grape leaves, pita bread/chips.. Licks: hummus was what I desired. Didn't want to accept whatever samples offered. Wanted to self-choose. -no sugar nor salt added. All flavas natural. 20+varietals. New flavas weekly. Not all "Greek". -seems all have base ingredients: chickpeas, spices, sesame tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, roasted garlic. Cactus Hummus (7) 8 oz. -...radish, Serrano (peppers), tomato, onions. -base taste in background with nuanced notes of tomato, onions and sharp hotness in foreground. Crunchiness of onions & radish felt. Artichoke & Spinach Hummus (7) 8oz. ...artichoke, spinach+ base. -greenish coloured. Flava earthy with subtle notes from artichoke, spinach. *doubt I will buy hummus again. Like any well known snacks/food. The base is the same. Flavas are variable. Other offerings are possible eats.. Didn't buy any pita chips cuz they are addictive. Eating too much messes with my yin yang-too much fried goodness. 4 stars for hummus, 5th star for service.

Monterey Market is one of my go-to spots for produce, especially if you like variety. Their…read moreselection is huge, and the mushroom section is on another level, way beyond what you see at a normal grocery store. Fun fact: this place is famous for carrying hard-to-find and foraged produce and has been a quiet favorite of Bay Area chefs for decades, which explains why half the fruits look like they belong in a cooking show challenge. That said, the quality isn't flawless. This past summer the corn on the cob was disappointing, with a few ears already rotten at one end once you peel back the husk, so definitely inspect before buying. Also, the clientele is usually fine, but this visit featured an unnecessary checkout cameo from a full-volume Karen who felt the need to explain how standing in line works. The cashier chose silence, which felt like a statement. Still a great market overall, just keep an eye on the corn and maybe bring a little extra patience to the register.

There is an excellent mix of produce, real food, treats (including ice cream), and take home items that you can very easily get lunch, dessert, and grocery shopping all done in one stop. The parking situation is a bit close to impossible which would really be the only con, but the neighborhood is super walkable so once you find a spot, take a stroll and earn the ham and cheese croissant I'll promise you you'll want to try! Great service, friendly vendors, this one sits atop my list!

As you head out from the BART station walk along Adeline in the opposite direction of Berkeley Bowl in the direction of Flacos. Keep walking for a bit & you will see them on the right hand side of Adeline. Lots of organic produce here. Some of it maybe a bit costly yet fresh as you can imagine as the blueberries I picked up were picked the morning that I bought them. I like that it is compact, lots of variety, & w/ heaps of organics. I do a lot of my own cooking as I frequently make smoothies for breakfast along w/ stews w/ whole grains for lunch along w/ dinner. I have recently gotten into making different customized trail mixes. I picked up some blueberries, raspberries, cantaloupe, squash, & almonds. Other items that I saw that looked interesting that I didn't pick up were avocados & sprouts. Look forward to returning here again soon!
