    I really loved this place! Well designed exterior and interior plus lots of high quality products. I snagged the last butter croissant that they had in stock. I'm a fiend for buying the last item in stock, so this was nice. The croissant was so delicious. Perfectly crispy and golden brown with butter creaminess oozing out of each bite, without being overwhelming. It beats some high-end French patisseries that I've tried in San Diego, which is really shocking. I also grabbed a mixed berry smoothie which was just the right amount of sweet and very creamy. Went down super easy. Unfortunately they did not have the classic chicken pesto sandwich that I like to order at any deli place (it was sold out apparently) so I will have to wait and come back to try that some other time. Given how delicious the other items were, I'm sure that the chicken pesto sandwich will also be a standout! Service was super quick and friendly :)

    The lineup for the night

    We just finished our St. Patrick's Day dinner from Elroy's. Chef Hardie and his team prepared an amazing dinner!!! Everything was excellent from the Ad Astra soda bread w/homemade Irish cheddar spread, salad, plus the delicious Guinness stew to the Wagyu corned beef with cabbage, carrots and Colcannon. The bread pudding w/Bailey's cream and caramel was an awesome final touch!!! Chef Hardie does an amazing job but this was definitely a grand slam home run.

    I had been noticing Elroy's ads for Heatable Eatables for a while now. We finally saw one that attracted us and thought, we have to try this at least once. We saw "Aloha April A Hawaiian Feast". Omigosh! This indeed was a feast. Every single item was delicious and there were 7 items in the package. We thought this was a meal for two for one night but we had at least 4 meals from this 'feast'. Everything was really well organized and came with Reheating Guidelines since all items are fully cooked. This "Heatable Eatables" offering is on the last Thursday of every month. For May: Jamaican May Crazy! (get it?) Thank you Chef David Hardie!

    I truly enjoy coming to Elroy's and probably spend a little too much time looking at individual items. The quality of each product is outstanding and you can tell the owners put a lot of consideration into what they're going to sell you. Their nuts and spices are fresh and delectable. I've been getting their roasted almonds and they're the best I've ever had (even without the salt!). It's fun to explore niche items and finding a way to incorporate them into your dishes. Their apples from local farms range from sweet to tart and no apple is completely alike. I also enjoy their Chicken Goat Cheese Apricot Salad. It's balanced, delicious and hearty. It lasts me about 2 days and my body feels thankful I consumed something nutritious. My favorite nut milks from Elmhurst are here and I can create the most luxurious golden milk and matcha lattes. Speaking of which, their coffee area is a nice treat I'll have before I volunteer nearby. Kayleigh makes the best rose matcha lattes I've ever tried and is so lovely to talk to. Although, every employee here is quite friendly and approachable. I found this market by chance and come in about once a week now. Yes, it can be a little pricy, but it's an investment into your health. As a biopsych student, I like to study about what we put in our bodies. Each element makes a difference towards our physical and mental health. At Elroy's I can rest assured I'll be eating something that will nourish my body and mind.

    This is the fabulous article posted in the bathroom about how this dream became a reality...love the origination of the name "Elroy's"...

    This store is a sparkling gem and a must experience! As someone who was born and raised in Berkeley surrounded by fabulous health food stores, I am deeply impressed by Elroy's at every level! The beauty of the store is delightful, including the high ceilings and the way the light flows through the space. Every item in the store is chosen with care and consideration, including using bulk bins that have metal instead of plastic. The staff are fabulous human beings who each bring their own unique flavor, gifts and charm to the experience of shopping here. Every single person I have interacted with on their team has provided me with fabulous customer care! I was planning a trip to Monterey with friends for Valentine's day and searching for a place for us to have lunch that had organic ingredients, if possible. In my search I found Elroy's and called to find out about the quality of the ingredients in their hot food bar. I was advised to call back and speak with Hayley. When I spoke with Hayley she responded to every question I had with deep knowledge, and when she didn't know something she looked up the answers as well as ingredients for me. She explained where they sourced their food and their relationship to getting local ingredients. I had never before had someone go into such detail with me over the phone about the ingredients they used for a store's hot food bar. I was sold! When we went on Valentine's day a beautiful human being named Evan provided us with the most radiant warmth as he served us the most delicious succulent feast, with one of the most delicious salads I have ever eaten and splendid grilled veggies and salmon which he heated up for us in an oven. I was so blown away by both the food and the service! After we ate I told Evan that I had rarely experienced a man who radiated so much warmth from his heart out into this world, and how much we need that. He was very touched and received my acknowledgement with a huge heartfelt smile. A few weeks later at a return trip to Elroy's, I got to meet Evan's son and daughter who happened to be at the store. That day Larry helped us with exploring what goat cheese Elroy's offers, and we got to talking and I learned that Larry had worked at Whole Foods in Berkeley on Telegraph, as well as the Oakland Whole Food's store. He shared how he loves working at Elroy's and working with dishes that are made from scratch and fresh, as compared to when Whole Foods hot bar transitioned to preprocessed food and he would open a plastic bag and pour that into the hot soup bar at WF's. I was deeply impressed by how much he values the quality of the food he is providing the customers at Elroy's. Thank you to each person at Elroy's who served me with such care, including Josh and Breenan! Thank you to the whole staff at Elroy's for your extraordinary customer care and for genuinely caring about the service you provide and providing people with high quality food! I MUST also give a shout out to the owners for taking the plunge and buying this location in 2020 during the pandemic, and your commitment to your vision! The article about you that is hung up in the bathroom is deeply inspiring, as are your many Best Of Monterey County awards! I am super grateful for your vision and perseverance! Thank you for your beautiful contribution to this world :)

For the most part, going to most any restaurant was a waste of time and money. A better choice was to let them shop and choose at Safeway and then bring it all back to the Hotel. Our choices weren't all that nutritious over all, but it did reduce the drama and later cries of "I'm Starving"! My most pleasant surprise here was that my old California land line number was still linked to the Safeway Loyalty program. Past that, the combination of an unfamiliar store, and so many choices made this Safeway trip a fairly lengthy one. And later back at the Hotel, all was well.

However - I was left a full bag full of someone else's groceries. At first I left it on the porch, but eventually TRIED to contact Safeway and report it. The website makes it damn near impossible and the only contact you're given is AI. When they transfer you to a human, it's not in the US. Biiiig help. Yes, I know I'll get to keep the food, and I got *my* order, but what about the person who is missing an entire bag of multiple items? Safeway doesn't seem to care about their experience at all, or the experience of their regular customers. Yes, DoorDash delivers the groceries - but Safeway CHOOSES to use DD drivers. Be aware that if you order grocery delivery from here, there's no accountability from Safeway and no way to report it to DD, you're just SOOL. I might have to switch to Walmart delivery. Also, every.single.bag had broken/ripped/useless handles because the contents were too heavt for the bags. Everything had to be carried into the house from the bottom!
