During these trying times, Drivers has gone out of their way to accommodate shoppers safely. They have Senior hours, a masked greeter, allowing only a few shoppers at a time, once again They SERVE the community, I call it Mecca. The best place in Sausalito for breakfast, lunch or dinner...to go. The wonderful store is so well stocked, gourmet, gluten free, organic, The store will blow you away. The produce section is small and mighty! High quality and "carefully curated." They carry very precious products - do not expect a bargain- their very high in demand Marin dairy Almond Milk - arrives on Tuesday - flys off the shelf. The Deli and the butcher shop are absolutely awesome. They only hire really smart, Super staff. My goal,is to dabble in the pre cooked meals. During the horrible Blackout ...crippling Marin...Driver's went out of their way to save the day. Good neighbors! read more

This place is ADORABLE. The store is quite small, and a little overpriced, but that is to be expected for Sausailito. We came in for lunch, and thoroughly enjoyed the Deli, think Whole Foods, but a little less selection. Overall the food was healthy and quite tasty, and all for a pretty decent price. If I'm back in the area, I'd drop in for a quick lunch. read more

Driver's Market - Hot food combo - Grocery Near Me - Sausalito, California

Love love love Drivers Market! It is a beautiful market owned and ran by the most wonderful people you could imagine. While they were constructing the menu for the deli I begged and pleaded for a Tuna Fish sandwich and not only did they answer my prayers the Deli manager Alex created the most delicious tuna fish wrap you could imagine! Seriously, give it a try. Since opening Drivers Market has supported many Sausalito community events and is truly one of those businesses who cares about the Sausalito citizens! Their produce is always fresh and they have anything and everything organic you could be looking for. Their frozen food section is also very well stocked. read more

Nice little market located on Caledonia Street in Sausalito. They have a great organic produce section and an impressive freshly baked bread selection. Good wine selection too. Everyone there was super nice and friendly. I'm not sure what people don't understand about pricing in a little, single store market. Of course it will be higher than a Safeway or some other large chain grocery store. I'm sure they buy in a much lower quantity so it cost them more. I think their prices were quite fair to be honest and they offer a nice variety of items. read more

The best! We feel so lucky to have this little organic market in town. They've got a great selection of local snacks/drinks as well as all the staples, and their prepared foods are amazing! They also just got buffalo milk soft serve - a personal favorite. Love that they're locally owned. All staff are lovely and there is a real sense of community. read more

Wide range of choices and reasonable prices. I don't live in the area so I relied on Yelp reviews (which did not fail me!) for contributions to friend's home for healthy dinner. We found fantastic fresh baguette, several salad choices in the deli + wines and dessert. Will definitely stop again when we are in the area! read more

I am giving one star because ive had one too many bad experiences at drivers market..tonight it was the overpriced brussel sprouts i baught from the cooler that are completely inedible!!! from rude customer service to buying overpriced pre made foods+smoothies from the kitchen that turned out to be inedible way too many times..i wish i didnt have to stop buying the ginger peach but its hit or miss and too expensive..some of their items like the berries and premade alfredo sauce get moldy on the shelf.. & besides that everything is way overpriced!! Its a complete waste to loose money just to shop here when you could save your money somewhere else with more options... one thing thats always been really annoying is the fact that theirs always different pre made items in the cooler so i cant tell you how many times ive walked in just to walk out because they dont have what i want and they dont have a set schedule ethier.. read more

Oh man this place is legit. I was heading to Sonoma, from the Golden Gate Bridge, to go on a picnic by myself (I know how sad but I was traveling for work and why not). This was right on my way. I found parking easily on a side road. It's a cute place from the outside and even better inside. I loved the fresh selection with an abundance of local choices. I got a some delicious cherry tomatoes, a fresh baguette, a wedge of Nicasio Valley cheese, a juicy juicy plum, some super delicious spicy radishes, and last but not least some local chocolate. Oh and a cold brew with almond milk to-go. Everything was so full of flavor! Flavor-FULL! I had a great time walking around and the staff was super friendly. They had donated bags which was perfect since I didn't have mine (I always forget my grocery bags when I travel, darn it). They have a cute seating area and deli with salads, sandwiches & pre-made food. It all looked so good and yum. I definitely recommend stopping in if you're in the Sausalito area! I had the best solo picnic ever. read more

Wow! What a nice place to eat in and hang out. I was in Sausalito for the day and parked next to the Market. I went in for a snack and was well received. I went to the food counter and reviewed the posted menu and a nice gentleman greeted me. I asked what he suggested and settled on the soup. I picked up a drink and paid at the register and found a seat till my soup was called. They have a nice size eating area, with ice water and silverware, all help yourself.

Very cute market with a nice variety of produce, snacks, beverages and hot bar where you can order food to go. We picked up a tote to carry our chips and soda with us :) The staff were really friendly which makes this feel even more like home! Kind of pricey but we also stumbled upon things we have never seen in the Bay -- different dry sodas and what seemed like a hand selected assortment of food/ingredients from other small businesses. It's like Bi-Rite but with more room to walk read more

On an exciting bus venture up to the North Bay this weekend we stopped into Driver's to stock up on deliciousness. Living in San Francisco - we're surrounded by a plethora of phenomenal grocery stores - but walking into Driver's still was an absolutely lovely and inspiring experience. The whole store radiated with organic produce and local products. Everything was well organized - and beautifully presented. We couldn't stop ooing and ahhing as we -made our way down each aisle trying to figure out what to stock up on - for our bus journey. Driver's Market is a family owned market in Sausalito, CA. It's the epitome of what a grocery store should look and feel like. The wonderful people behind Driver's Market have done everything in their ability to "insure that the food on their shelves is free of chemicals, preservatives, GMO's and added hormones." "They support small businesses that grow and prepare foods with integrity. They source locally whenever possible, and offer products that are healthy for the body, the mind, the local community and the environment." Driver's deli area was the highlight for me. Their sandwich/wrap menu looked outstanding and I ended up buying a small wedge of fresh wild salmon as well as some local chai (without milk). The chai was perfect. It had bite, and a twinge of sweetness, but was so pleasant and warming. I shared it with my fellow bus mates - who all raved over it. The girl behind the counter - was particularly helpful in helping me access how much sugar it had in it and even did some online research to verify that it was indeed a local brand. Once we re-grouped on the vehicl,e we all shared out organic bounties with each other. From organic hummus and chips, to 99 percent TCHO chocolates and more - it was definitely an exciting and fortuitous grocery shopping venture. Trust. read more

Ordered The Richmond "Cleveland Style" and the Reuben. Apparently, they also have a Cleveland sandwich, which I didn't see on their menu at the shop or online. So, instead of two sandwiches, we got three. Not the end of the world, except that the sandwiches weren't well made. Sandwiches were all soggy. While all three were supposed to be toasted, the bread wasn't toasty at all. Just sort of burnt in some places. My Rueben was pretty pathetic. It had almost no pastrami on it and a heaping pile of kraut. While the kraut tastes great, it's about the pastrami. For $12 I get three thin deli slices of meat? What a huge rip off. I don't mind paying $12 for a good sandwich, but what I really got was fermented cabbage on soggy bread. The extra sandwich they made for us that we paid for anyway was just a few slices of pickles (very long and paper thin) and yet another tiny portion of ham with some sort of aioli. Seems like we're just paying for bread at this point. They use good quality ingredients, but it just seems like they're trying to boost their profit margin at the expensive of their customers. They have joined the ranks of overpriced and mediocre food establishments that plague the area. read more

Driver's Market - That's how much meat I get for a $12 sammy. Ridiculous. - Grocery Near Me - Sausalito, California

My friends and I spent an amazing day biking the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands and decided to end with a delicious lunch at Driver's Market. Everything at the deli looks so good it was hard to decide! I settled on the Pig & Fig sandwich with prosciutto, fig spread and havarti cheese. Yum! It was the perfect mix between sweet and salty and the arugula added the extra bitterness needed to balance the fig. For being relatively small, this store manages to pack in a lot of quality product for its customers. We loved all the local beer in their beer section (Headlands Brewery shoutout here) and the chocolate selection is quite dangerous. The staff was super friendly and helpful, but it's not a department store so if you need help finding something you will have to ask. There were 11 of us, but we all managed to fit around the big community table in the deli, which I thought was really cool. It's great that there is this community minded business in the heart of Sausalito. read more

For those concerned about the cleanliness and safety of this establishment, I would think that you need not to worry. There's a person out front who makes sure everyone wears a mask, there's a bottle hand sanitizer for you to use as you walk in and out; the place is well stocked and organized, and seems very clean/well kept. Just by the general approach management has taken in response to COVID, you can see and feel how safe it seems to shop here. This is basically where I get my veggies and other fresh, perishable items. read more

I moved to Sausalito recently and was thrilled to discover this magical local market located just blocks from my house. I am now an almost daily visitor, sometimes twice a day, because Drivers continues to satisfy.. It's the gift that keeps on giving. From the moment you enter the store, you feel the great care that is taken with every detail of the business. - The products they sell are fresh and feel-good brands that are nutritious, delicious and often locally sourced. Sweet signs tell you the origin stories of many items. Love that. - The prepared foods are delicious; the Richmond sandwich (Cleveland Style), the ginger peach smoothie and the hearty meal that is the Nepalito are some particular faves. - Their hours are long and luxurious, from 8am to 9pm every day. Rad. - There is a community table in the store where you can relax and enjoy your food, perhaps while checking out one of the books or magazines provided for your perusal. I am so very grateful for the energy and care of the whole Drivers experience. If I were to design the local market if my dreams, it would look like Drivers. Hooray for this joint, y'all! read more

Bakery Review: I am mostly reviewing for their pastries and I gotta say, I was skeptical of getting any dessert or pastries at food market since they tend to come out all sucky, but this place is like heaven sent from above. Someone suggested to get a (I don't know how to spell it but it sounds like) the plain "Queen na mon". CRISP on the surface and warm BUTTERY from the inside that it's like melting in your mouth.DELICIOUUSSSS!!! The guy said it was life changing, and it was and now I come here all the time for it. Their other pastries like seasonal fruit danishes (blackberry, and vanilla peach) are okay except for their raspberry or strawberry danish. good!! What better is that it's half off after 5:00pm. Market review: What a fancy and high quality food market store, but I can only give 3 stars. Almost all their products are gluten free, made with high quality ingredients, or made by well known companies such as their cheese from cowgirl creamery. (Try their cowgirl creamery brie, DELICIOUS!!) and I don't need any of that, besides for cheese but this doesn't mean it's not good for others that do need these types of things. Just not for me. I came across a bag of salted potato chips for $10 made by a well known chef or something cause the bag has his picture on it. Fruits are a lot like avocado could be $3-5 each depending what type of avocado you get. read more

I got a Tropicalia smoothie from Driver's Market. The $6.99 price tag scared me, but I figured what the hell--it better be a damn good smoothie. And it was. I highly recommend the Tropicalia smoothie! It's smooth, sweet, and tangy... Goes down like a piña colada. read more

Driver's Market - Tropicalia Smoothie. - Grocery Near Me - Sausalito, California

Heard about the ginger peach smoothie so I decided to try it for $7.99. It was good but not worth $8, especially for the size. I was put off by the price of the smoothie so I didn't order anything else. Seemed like a typical high end organic grocer. Neat and organized inside with friendly employees. Process: You order at the deli and then the deli employee gives you a ticket w/ your order and then you take that ticket to the cashier. The cashier stamps the ticket "paid" and then you go around the side of the deli to pick up your order. Seemed like they could definitely streamline the process more. read more

We stopped in here on two separate occasions during our stay in Sausalito. The first just to pick up some essentials and the second to get some local charcuterie and cheese. The deli staff were very attentive and let us try some samples before making a selection. The produce section is small, but it is all organic and high quality. They had some really tasty sounding sandwiches and breads as well from the deli that we didn't have the opportunity to try. Lots of local goods really give you the opportunity to take advantage of the area. read more

Time to tell the truth!! I can't even begin to explain my disappointment in this establishment and that's a statement I'm pretty sad to make. I'm a local neighborhood "regular" and I continuously hope it will get better but that has yet to happen in the past 2 years I've lived around the corner. There's not many places to shop in Sausalito so I shop there (now, very rarely) out of necessity. The food selection is okey, it's takes about 15/20mins to get a basic deli order (any local will tell you that), a few members of the staff are fantastic (only other reason I keep going), the wine selection is nothing to be impressed by and to afford to shop there you better have a second job. Tonight I hit my limit!! I popped in on my walk home hoping for some warm soup. I asked the guy behind the deli counter and he said- " oh, sorry I just pulled the soup out a few mins ago". So the soup was still warm, it was sitting right in from of me but he had no interest in helping me. This is is something that happens ALL the time here. Bad customer service. I could go on a lot more, but I'm already bored with this. I really hope these guys can make some serious changes soon because I'm not the only one that's over it. read more

Overpriced and their pre-made items are not that good sometimes being horrible to try and never get again.. after many years going here im still not sure if they have a deli or not. The worst part for me is the old lady with gray hair I believe she used to be a teacher that works there.. she is rude, judgemental, prejudice, unprofessional and shouldn't be working there. She doesn't even know how to work the register or do her job properly after so long. she has been very rude to me and others that i know.. I wish they would fire her because everytime I would go in she would make me feel very uncomfortable with her even being there and I stopped going for a while because of it. Now ive also stopped going due to the high prices compared to other stores making me loose money. Although I still go occasionally out of necessity sometimes because I'm passing by or right down the road and only need one or two items.. I've spent thousands of dollars here and reserve my right to review. read more

As a Sausalito local I was beyond excited to see Driver's open their doors on Caledonia. Unfortunately this place continues to disappoint. I get the overly priced everything. Gotta pay for the space. Get it. However, what's up with the skimpy sandwiches and cheap-skate deli portions? My wife ordered the Reuben - one slice of corned beef and mass amounts of sauerkraut. I ordered a Roast Beef sandwich - it should be renamed the "mouthful of bread." Convenience will keep this spot open, but is it worth the $1 I save in gas? Took a stroll down this morning to pick up some bacon for breakfast. It was sliced so thin it actually evaporated in the pan...no joke! Literally evaporated. Damn, I really wanted to love this place. Time to start up the car and drive down to Mollie Stones. read more

We visit family in Sausalito frequently, so only use this store sparingly. Its more a specialty convenience store. This is a complaint about ONE specific event which may or may not reflect on the store's customer service philosophy in general. They sell Pacific Pastures Organic grass fed beef labeled "Beef For FILET MIGNON STEAK" 10 ounce sealed package for $24.99 (Which equates to $40 a pound!) Three packages were purchased ($75 of meat) for a family dinner. None of the three packages contained a 10 ounce filet mignon steak which should always be a round, medallion shaped cut off of a beef tenderloin. Each of the three packages contained two irregular shaped elongated cuts of beef and appeared to be perhaps a trim piece from a beef tenderloin. It was our dinner, so we went ahead and grilled them but they had neither the texture nor flavor of a filet mignon and by their appearance they were clearly NOT filet mignon. I called the store the next morning to tell them this was mislabeled and explained all of the above observations. The manager was polite and said she would check on it and see what they could do. One of the owners got on the phone and told me "no on else has complained about this meat" and said he was confident these were Filet Mignon steaks. In my opinion he just sounded irritated and annoyed that I would even question the meat. There was no attempt at customer satisfaction from him. More, take it or leave it attitude. I got irritated too at that point and said I won't shop there anymore or recommend his store and he said I was "threatening" him. He finally said (reluctantly in my opinion) he would give us a refund. This is the minimum I would expect for a customer complaint about a very expensive food item. He should also say he will look into the matter and be sure the meat is labeled and priced appropriately In the future. addendum: Jokes on me. We drove down to get the promised refund on the meat purchase but the owner told us he changed his mind after reading my Yelp comments. wow..... read more
