    2/20/2023:  I specifically visited Mill Valley Market for coffee; dispensers were EMPTY!!!

    2/20/2023: I specifically visited Mill Valley Market for coffee; however, all the coffee dispensers were disappointingly empty. Aside, I noticed Mill Valley Market's Patrons eating their deli meals outside . . . Which IMHO, the deli selection didn't appeal to my tastes at all. Overall, Mill Valley Market's grocery selection is small; however, I didn't notice a plethora of organic produce or products.

    Do not buy this wine!

    This wine was recommended by the staff-had a nice write up..."6 generations" blah blah blah. But had high rating from this staff and like to support local growers. Literally so much added sugar I couldn't even drink a glass. Spent $100 and was the worst bottle I've ever had. Tried calling multiple times to have the store take down the hand written blue sign recommending this bottle. Shame on you seriously. Yes I did spend 100 on a bottle of wine, but you just lost my business forever. Stop carrying this crap or take it to $30 which is the appropriate price for this garbage. Beware of this store's overpriced propaganda! Never again!

    Delicious made to order sandwiches. The dessert choices are to die for! Love that they have lots of individual servings to choose from. I had the butternut squash soup. Very flavorful. It's my go to place for lunch after a hike! Friendly service and the store is always clean!

    This is the cutest grocery store that combines local and gourmet goods. We popped in here after a hike and were on the hunt for lunch. We got one sandwich and some chili. Everything was pretty good, but not amazing (3-4 stars for the food), but we ended up doing some grocery shopping as well and that was 5 star quality. They have a great butcher and fresh veg. To note they have a fair amount of outdoor seating, however, it was raining so we had a car picnic!

    We only stopped by for a sandwich and chips. I ended up buying some cheeses too and they had a nice variety. The Sammie's were delicious and they had a wide variety. The con is space is limited and it can be busy on a weekend. If you can place your order in advance that will help.

    The food offerings at this establishment are highly enjoyable. The staff members are courteous, and the overall ambiance of the market is quite delightful.

    The deli here is awesome! Great place to refuel after a hike. Great selection of sandwiches for everyone. Grab a drink and sit outside. Will definitely be back.

    Tuesday, August 4, 2020. During our "Therapy Tuesday" hike, we were headed to Muir Woods and my former boss, who used to live in the North Bay, wanted to grab a bite to eat before the hike and told us to stop at downtown Mill Valley. Appropriately named Mill Valley Market, we moseyed on through and headed towards the deli counter. Now being in Marin County, I immediately noticed their products were more on the upscale part and high-end items from caviar, mousse, pate, smoked salmon, cold cuts, wines and cheese. I expected the sandwiches to be on the pricier side, but to my surprise, most were under ten bucks - and they have 'The Daily Deal' special of Pastrami Sammich for $6.99. My other friend and I both chose 'The Daily Deal' and got everything with it, which had tomatoes, lettuce, onion, mayo, Swiss cheese and several slices of pastrami with your choice of bread. You also have the option of having add-ons and meat and cheese toasted. I opted to have mine cold while my friend chose the latter. We ended up eating half of the sandwich just outside a small park and saved the other half for the hike. It's not a humongous sandwich, but it was pretty good for the price point. Besides, it was very tasty and adequate. For $6.99, it was a good sandwich and they also had other kinds of sandwiches, which looked just as good. If you're in a rush, they also have other pre-made sandwiches, wraps, salads and other to-go foods available at the counter. If you want a picnic that's a little bit fancier, or some snacks on the road, they have plenty of items to choose from. It's a nice neighborhood market with lots of history and plenty of charm. Wouldn't mind paying them another visit the next time we're headed to Muir Woods, Mt. Tam and Muir Beach.

    This is one of those places that just kind of feels like home…read more I've been stopping by this market for as long as I've been hiking in the Golden Gate Area, which is over a decade. Some of Good Earth's items are on the super pricy side, but some are also reasonable. The deli and bakery items are usually pretty good. This was the first place I ever found Sjaak's chocolate. Sadly, they no longer exist, but I used to always stop by for their Hearts of Cherry after hiking around Mt Tam. Today I stopped by for whatever looked good enough to buy, which happened to be a pesto chicken calzone from the hot deli case, a slice of chocolate cake that looked too good to be $5, some roma tomatoes, and a blueberry banana water. The pesto chicken calzone had decent flavor, but it literally had like half a cup of grilled onions on it. Like, there was an entire opaque layer of grilled onion. Adding onions to compensate for less meat is one of the oldest Italian tricks in the book, and is the basis of many great recipes. In this case, it was a little much. Also, the crust didn't have any flavor, but for $10, for this area, it wasn't bad. The chocolate cake was the worst chocolate cake I've ever had in my life. It should have been labeled "iced biscotti," because that's about how dry it was. After a few bites, I had to double check to make sure I didn't accidentally grab an expired piece. It was so dry!! Okay, so, the cake was a mistake, but everything else was good. Their fresh deli pizzas looked AMAZING, but I did not take one home. Overall, the store is very clean, well lit, and merchandised nicely. My only issue is the twinkie sized stall in the ladies room, with a door that opens inward, trapping anyone who is greater than four inches in diameter between the toilet and the door. Sometimes you seriously have to wonder what kind of psychopath designed women's public restrooms. It's like, if you are larger than an actual Barbie doll, good luck getting in and out without touching the public toilet! So, I actually made two separate purchases. First, I purchased the calzone, and took it back to my car to eat. Noticing that I was surrounded by Teslas and eating disorders, I put up my sunshades so that I could eat in peace, without becoming a TikTok reel. After I finished eating, as I was lowering my sunshade, I caught the man parked next to me in the act of taking a video of me, anyway! My car is ugly enough to make a classist person assume that I'm a homeless person, which I'm sure is what happened in this case. Maybe he was planning to post it on social media as an example of how homeless people were ruining his life. When he saw a nicely dressed woman in a brand new, pretty dress (me) he looked shocked. I looked back and forth between him and his phone which was pointed at me, and glared. He lowered the phone and stared at me, wide eyed and jaw dropped, as if he wanted to explain. I glared at him as hard as I could. Classist rich people harass me like this all the time. As a formerly homeless person, I know that in reality, there's no such thing as "looking homeless." People who "look homeless" are usually housed and struggling with mental health issues, while homeless people who live in shelters are usually very well-groomed. But tell that to the classist rich person who thinks it's funny to take videos of other people and post them on the internet to mock them. I wish it was illegal to do that, but it's not. So if I'm posted on "homeless people of Marin" or something, that's what's up, even though I'm very much housed and employed. A calzone with a side of classism. Not the store's fault. But irritating none the less.

The parking lot is usually packed as it is shared amongst the other businesses. Holiday-themed treats and items next to the pre-packaged baked goodies. Grab a fresh squeezed juice, shot, or blended smoothie. The bakery had gorgeous fancy-looking whole cakes, slices of cheesecake, mini tea cakes, macarons, lava cakes, and more. There is a hot food bar, salad & soup bar, deli, pre-packaged food for those quick on-the-go with items such as burritos, chicken tenders w/ a side of ranch, side salads, larger salads, mini pizzas, half lox bagels, sandwiches, the list goes on. They even have an area where you can get sushi. I hear their sushi and sandwiches made to order are really good. They have quite the array of cheeses, side options like olives with feta or macaroni salad, potato salad, chicken salad, fruits and jams, easy to shop for special hosting events. This was only the area of Nugget Market I have been able to walk around and view. Their aisles look small, but they are well-stocked and not difficult trying to see what is on the shelf. During the lunch time rush, there have been more people inside where lines may form, however, other times in the mid-afternoon, I have not run into the issue of waiting at checkout. A great market to have in the community!

The store itself is fine and have the supplies but I've had a few issues mostly with customer service. Also their bakery good never really look fresh. However the experience that I had was I came to buy whole chicken thighs that were on sale for 20% off $5 per lb. This was on their app and I had a photo of it. There was a pricing error when I tried to pay because it didn't take the 20% off so I asked the attendant at the self checkout and he asked someone else for help. The person who came was very dismissive and said "the one on sale are the packaged ones" and I was like No it says in the add that it's at the butcher and not the pre-packaged ones and instead of just hearing out my concern and looking at the ad itself, he just kept dismissing me. So eventually he took the chicken to the butcher and changed the pricing however they changed it to the wrong chicken which actually cost more!! How does that even make sense? I tried to explain to the self checkout attendant again that the price went up and he just laughed and said "sorry its not changeable now." I just ended up paying the higher price and left. The problem isn't the price difference as honestly its maybe like a $5 total swing in price which I just ended up paying not worth wasting my time but the workers just don't care here and are lazy. It's actually a really easy problem to fix to look at the ad and just acknowledge that were was a pricing error because this problem will come up again when another customer wants to buy whole chicken legs. I can't be the only person buying it. It's such a simple fix but looking at the reviews for this store, it looks like it's a chronic problem and until they fix things, I won't be ever coming back here and rather just drive further to San Rafael downtown store. I've given feedback through their website however they were asking really detailed questions like the names of all the employees which I didn't take note of so I doubt feedback was ever given.
