    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!

Unfortunately, neither of us was overly impressed with the taste. It may be because we were comparing it to a tuna sandwich we usually get from another deli, and this one just didn't quite live up to our expectations. We also tried the lemon pie and apple pie, which were both decent and made for a nice treat after our meal. Even though the food wasn't exactly what we were hoping for, I would definitely come back and try something different because the customer service and overall energy of the place were outstanding. Sometimes a great atmosphere and friendly staff are enough to make you want to give a place another chance.

I ordered the Godfather, which is supposed to be their specialty, and it was very disappointing. The meats seemed old, extremely fatty, and so chewy that I was unable to swallow them. Every meat on the sandwich was fatty, including the mortadella, which was unusually greasy and unlike anything I've seen before. The texture made the sandwich very unpleasant to eat. It also made me question whether the meats had been stored properly, though I can't say for sure. The bread was average and didn't seem very fresh either. Maybe going later in the day means the ingredients have been sitting too long, but either way, this sandwich was difficult to enjoy and ended up in the trash.

Hence why I stopped here one warm late afternoon despite having lots of food options in this downtown-y area. The Godfather ($15ish/5*) When I first try a deli I will usually try their Italian combo. It's a classic sub I love but honestly I find it hard to find an above average one. I'm not sure if the art of making one has been lost, but within the last decade or so, I strike out more than I get hits. Usually the meat to bread to produce ratio is off. Sometimes the meats are too salty/poor quality. Other times the sauce/dressing flavor is off. I am so stoked that I found a legit one here. They use prosciutto, mortadella and salami here, all my faves. I hate when a place uses American ham/cheese on an Italian sub. And all the meats are of quality, not too salty at all. Provolone was the cheese, textbook. I chose a sourdough roll and even though requires a good amount of teeth strength to bite off a piece and to chew, it was pretty damn satisfying. The interior is soft yet chewy. They definitely use a solid bread company. The bites were what I consider to be classic Italian sub flavors. No curve balls like pesto, red peppers or strong mustard. Just quality meats with great textures, fresh produce dressed in oil n' vinegar so it taste like a good salad. And the kicker that pleasantly surprised me were chunks of marinated artichoke hearts so this made you feel like biting into an antipasto platter just in sandwich form. So Damn Solid. Italian Sausage Sandwich ($15ish/4*). Even though solid I didn't love this as much as the cold sub. They ask what type of sausage mild or hot Italian. Chose hot, no surprise. They said this will take longer to make, like about 10 minutes. I chose a regular sweet French roll for this. Not as chewy as the sourdough roll, much softer but still has body. I liked the flavors of warm marinara with their unique sausage, quite classic once again. But the sausage they use is super thick like twice as thick as a common Italian sausage link. They do split it so it covers the bread but that sausage is one of the firmest textures I've ever had for a sausage. Sausage by nature because of the grind usually bites easily. Not here, I had to bite so hard that the meat couldn't stay in the bread. I think the casing was unusually tough for some reason. I eventually peeled it off. Decent flavors but problematic to eat cleanly. $35+ (after T&T) for 2 sandwiches seems pricey but really it is the new reality. 10 years ago this would have been about $20ish. Welcome to the new world order. Lol
