It came to my attention yesterday that some people don't know about Mi Tierra's cafe or their taco…read moretuesday. Let me say that louder. CAFE. TACO TUESDAY!! On Tuesdays, tacos are $3 and fish tacos are $3.50 And they are effin GOOD. Jeebus they are good. I got the fish taco grilled for the first time yesterday. It was all I could eat. I'll be visiting for that more often. Even at full price ($5) that's a steal. IT WAS SO GOOD. They also have cheap, high quality meat. Which, in this economy, is a frikkin' god send. I go here for the meat a lot because I'm broke. And they are always so nice. I've never had any experience here where anyone was even approaching rude. Also, I am very shy about my bad spanish. But often, I'll try in Spanish and they will be patient with me about it. And I love them for that. They'll switch to English when they can tell I don't understand. (It's actually usually just me thinking. I think slow, lol.) Yeah. Lots of words, sorry. They have good meat. They have good tacos. They're nice.

Back in the mid 2000s, til about 2012, I regularly shopped in this small local,…read moreemployee-owned grocers because it was close to where I lived, I prefer small, neighborhood markets, and I liked that everything was organic. I liked the long-time manager Michael (now many years retired). I was out of state for about 10 years, and returned a few years ago. I have dropped in here now and then for an item or two (or just to use the restroom, which is always very clean), and left empty-handed each time because the prices are laughably exorbitant. You can tell a lot about a business - grocers or other - by the mood or attitude when you walk in. I don't know if employees have been burned by bad customers or if it is just more post-pandemic 'Weltschmerz,' but whenever I stopped in here I never felt welcomed, or as though the staff actually enjoy working here. I hear no customer-staff friendly banter, see hardly any smiles. It is just stony-faced, entitled (mostly white) people getting what they need, not interacting with or making eye contact with others, much less exchanging smiles or friendly "hellos." It is one more example of the bratty coldness that has taken over most of Berkeley, which breaks my heart. This used to be a lovely market to call my "neighborhood market," but absolutely no longer is. Before any employees or the manager chime in with a response to defend their laughably exorbitant prices by reminding me of how small a market they are - whoa there, little kitties - your prices are still higher than Monterey Market up the road or another employee-owned market, Berkeley Bowl. I can't even afford to puchase a bottle of mustard here, and must get it at Trader Joes. Be honest: This market is for VERY WEALTHY PEOPLE ONLY or for people who DON'T MIND MAXXING OUT THEIR CREDIT CARDS HERE so that they can feel like one of the "cool kids" for shopping here. Your produce is beautiful, your shop very spic 'n span clean, I appreciate that you offer non-GMO and Fair Trade groceries, but you could do better, truly, by making the less-than-ridiculously wealthy people feel more welcome here. You'd have to care about us first though.

They never have sales unless it's a seasonal item but it's because they always offer competitive prices.

We wound up doing a little bit more shopping in the store that day because of the staff and the quality of the product. I don't think there's too much more we can say about this business that you probably don't already know, except for the fact that these people also pride themselves on customer service.

I don't know what is a more annoying marketing tactic - Safeway's app or Costco's membership. My go…read moreto grocery store is Trader Joes and Whole Foods - but I even somehow see Grocery Outlet with their expired foods as a step above Safeway and their pricing games and new cheap paper bags without handles. I will never remember if I overpaid for some random product in a grocery store by a dollar or two - but I will always remember the junky paper bags from here. It puts me in a rotten mood any day of the week. As I climb the steps in front of my house - the bag tears and cat food, beer and my luxury hair care products fly down the stairs. The Safeway app now has got your attention and phone number. Gone are the days when they just wanted your email address - now they are after your full attention and they machine gun all these notifications right to your phone at any hour. Costco tracks your every move and makes you pay a few dollars a year. They lure you in with too much of everything at a good price and you overeat. Safeway and their app is also hostile toward seniors and those without the ability to jump hoops with their coupon app. I don't want my thoughts revolving around money or coupons or the cost of things every day. Somebody has to stand up for those who aren't part of the club - and are discriminated against due to bad eyesight or lack of money for a smart phone or age or whatever. I don't think its fair a 95 year old struggles with coupon apps and pricing games - sure I can deal with it - but not all can.

First, you can't enter without a code, which you have to get from the poor bakery staff, because it's nearby. Good luck finding someone at the front, they're usually busy working in the kitchen area. Anyway the facilities don't look like North Berkeley gourmet ghetto, they look like a horrible public toilet that's just ghetto. Cracked basin, graffiti towel dispenser , they're not spending revenue from the high grocery prices to repair the place.
