Nob Hill Foods on Grant Rd. in Mountain View is a huge grocery store with a lot of parking in their associate parking lot. Besides the typical offerings like the produce department, and meat department, they also have a full deli, a Peet's cafe, a bakery, and a florist. The frozen food aisle is like 10+ cases in length! The interior feels like two grocery stores in footprint, you can get a workout just walking these aisles. Due it it's size it never feels crowded. Nob Hill Foods offer a military and first responder discount if you show ID, and a loyalty program. The service was very friendly. The $5 Mondays, their weekly specials, are a good deal if you leave near the store especially now with inflation issues. In January 2025, they had very few eggs available (due to the ongoing avian influenza / H5N1).

Sherri discouraged me from registering as a new member as it would take 24hrs before valid. Did not want to give me the discount I saw.

Nob Hill is not welcoming to new customers. I had just finished getting my blood drawn at El Camino Hospital and thought I would stop by the market to maybe pick up a coffee cake or pastry for breakfast. Nob Hill is right there on Grant so I thought why not? Saw an ad for steak at $7.97lb and thought, hey, that's a good deal, I'll pick up a pack. Kept looking around for coffee-cake or pastry and figured they don't really offer fresh bakery services when I saw a woman putting out bread from a delivery. No cashiers around at 7am so I went to the self checkout. I tried putting my number in but it wasn't recognized so I had to wait for an employee to help get me registered. "Sherri" comes walking up a few minutes later and I told her I need to get registered as a member to get the discount price. She informed me that even if I register now, it would take 24hrs to take effect. So then I asked if she could swipe her card for me and she said no. Well, ok, let me try my wife's number and yes, my wife's number went through but it wasn't picking up the discount. That's when "Sherri" told me that I need to "clip" the discount on their app in order to get the sale price. That's too much hassle to also install the app so I just put it back and walked out. "Sherri" showed very poor customer service, did not try to help me out and did not care to sign me up or register me as a new member. That's ok, I prefer Safeway anyways and this was a reminder to just skip Nob Hill, waste of my time to even bother looking.

Back when I lived in the neighborhood, this was my go-to grocery store -- I shopped here every week for years. Better quality than Safeway without prices as high as Whole Foods. 10 years later, to my surprise, not much has changed. The store is huge and seemingly never crowded. Some of the workers have been there for years -- maybe even decades. Although, like everyone else, there are times when they feel understaffed. The produce is plentiful and seems fresh; a reasonable amount of organic options. The meat counter used to be a huge strength. It's still solid but not as amazing as it used to be. Pre Covid I used the in house sandwich counter and Peet's coffee regularly. They never seem to be open any more. Probably just reduced hours. They've also closed off one of the entrances -- that might have made sense during the pandemic but seems odd now. This is still the best grocery store nearby but not worth the drive for me anymore

This is a beautiful store inside

Wow! A really nice supermarket. Ours the super back in the word. Nice, fresh and clean. They actually had the sale items in went in for. Wonderful! Lots of parking and also close to Hwy 85 and El Camino Real, so it's reachable. There's a fairly full service UPS Store inside, which is convenient for sending or returning stuff (Amazon!). Love it.

Service and quality of people working at this place is outstanding. Extremely warm staff who goes out of their way to serve their customers. I live in the neighborhood and this is our go to store. Recently, Donna helped me prepare an outstanding bouquet and went out of her to decorate it when I mentioned what the occasion was. She helped me pick the right balloons and card and helped me then checkout. Rare to see such experiences at a large retail store.

$7.49/lb Norwegian Salmon on sale Thursday, gone by Tuesday

Nob Hill is known for superior produce quality, but you get what you pay for. It also comes with higher prices than Smart & Final, or Sprouts, let alone Safeway for such produce. Beautifully decorated supermarket in the same shopping center as Ranch 99, now permanently closed Sweet Tomatoes and In and Out Burger. No recycling of plastic bags here, unlike Lucky or Sprouts. Usual masks and social distancing measures. Came here on their $5 Monday. Wife picked up 4 lbs asparagus for $5, 8 count strudel fingers, $1.77 lb red grapes, 16 oz Sukhis Vindaloo chicken, 16 oz Sukhis coconut mango curry chicken, all for $5. She also got $8.14 worth of round corned beef at $2.97/lb. We only come here for sale items, as they are more expensive than other stores. The Sukhis items are normally $9. Costco sells 36 oz Sukhis Chicken Tikka Marsala for $14, but sold the much less popular 36 oz Sukhis coconut mango curry chicken for $10.49 in October. Unlike Smart & Final across the street, Nob Hill has self checkouts. If you have a return, go directly to the employee overseeing the self checkouts. A lot easier than Smart & Final, where if you have a return, you have to stand in the regular line, wait for them to call the manager, and you hold up the entire line behind you. When they have specials, you have to buy before the weekend. After the weekend everything's gone, as they often don't restock sale items until Wednesday, when new prices come. $2.50 20 oz Soy Vat Island Teriyaki sauce here Thursday, gone Tuesday. All the other varieties of Soy Vat plentiful. Would you pay $5 for a gallon of apple juice? One time they had $5/gallon Martinelli Apple Juice. I went to the Nob Hill on Monroe St to get the Juice. They never stocked it, and told me to try here. Came here to the Grant store, and they were sold out on the first day of the sale . Gave me a rain check, but had to come back 3 more times in the next 30 days , before I got my 4 gallon limit. In the past I have gotten the $7.97/lb Norwegian salmon. The salmon fillets were in 1.25 lb to 1.5 lbs weights, a nice contrast to the 2.5 lbs to 3.5 lb weights of local farm raised salmon fillets. You and the wife ever try eating 3.5 lbs of salmon? Just got the supermarket mailer for Wednesday's ads. Safeway has round corned beef for $1.88/lb. Too late to return that $2.97/lb corned beef to Nob Hill, as wife shredded the receipt! Read a lot of the Yelp reviews, and they mention the superior flower department. Last time I got flowers was for the first date with my wife -my current wife, back in 2003!

Fresh lei made to order with carnations $34.99, it was beautiful!

The ease of parking and shopping. I love $5 Mondays as my husband and myself recently lost our jobs. We are both 60+.

A TJ's review and a commentary on the limited-edition bags…read more Overall, I'd say that I like this store, but as with everything these days, there are occasionally some challenges. This store is generally organized and well stocked, but I do sometimes receive conflicting information about when out of stock items might be back in stock. Most of the crew members are nice and helpful, but a few offer opinions that are inappropriate for a business setting. I occasionally hear crew members complaining about customers and, while I realize that dealing with the general public can be challenging, I would like to remind these crew members that some of your co-workers have some fairly quirky personalities too. The only thing that seems to be really bothering a lot of customers lately are the inconveniences we encounter over the limited release bags. This store has done a good job of creating two lines, one for people who want bags and one for people who just want to do their grocery shopping. In spite of this good solution to deal with the volume of customers at these bag releases, things are getting worse. Last week the entire parking lot was taken over by people in line for bags. Those of us who just wanted to shop for groceries had to park in Walmart's lot and hike over to the store. I'm not sure what Trader Joe's agenda is with this manufactured scarcity of bags. I realize that logo bags are a marketing strategy to show brand loyalty, but these limited-edition bags only seem to be creating a market for the resellers on ebay and people sending them to international locations. These people usually only buy the bags, not groceries, and the congestion they're creating at the store level is only pissing off your loyal customers, i.e. the people who built your brand in the first place by shopping regularly at your stores. Why don't you just start selling them around the world? Your marketing strategy could be that Trader Joe is bringing something from a US store chain to people around the world.

I have been a loyal Trader Joe's customer for many years, but my recent experience has left me…read moreextremely disappointed. The last two times I purchased milk from your store, it spoiled approximately seven days before the printed expiration date, despite being properly refrigerated. This is not an isolated incident, which is why I brought the matter to the attention of the store manager. Rather than listening to my concern or offering to investigate the issue, the manager responded by telling me that I "obviously" do not understand what an expiration date means. He went on to claim that once milk is opened, it begins to spoil simply because it has been "exposed to air," implying that the expiration date is essentially irrelevant. I found both his explanation and his attitude unacceptable. I fully understand that opening milk shortens its shelf life, but properly refrigerated milk should not consistently spoil a week before the expiration date. Instead of addressing a legitimate quality concern, the manager chose to be dismissive, patronizing, and condescending. What concerns me even more than the spoiled milk is the way I was treated. Customers deserve to have their concerns heard and addressed with respect--not to be belittled or spoken to as though they are ignorant. After years of shopping at Trader Joe's, I never expected such poor customer service. I hope Trader Joe's will investigate both the recurring issue with the milk and the manager's conduct. I expect a company that values its customers to respond professionally and respectfully when legitimate concerns are raised.
