This store just keeps getting better. Best sandwiches and take out lunch in the East Bay. Drive past Togo's, Subway, Firehouse, and get off the 80 at Powell Street and you won't regret it. They have hot food, cold food, fresh made sandwiches, pre-prepared sandwiches, and even sushi. And it's all fresh and top-notch. Some days there is a grill out front cooking up made to order burgers. Randy's is now, officially, an artisan grocer. They've got all the everyday things you need for a quick, inexpensive meal. But they also have some very high quality, niche items traditionally found in those specialty stores that are hard to get to and even harder to afford. And the artisan stock changes out periodically, so there's a reason to come back every now and then if you didn't see something you liked the first time. Produce is fresh and plentiful. Just about every traditional and specialty beverage you can imagine. And the store itself has transformed. The aisles are wide and bright and fully stocked with the best merchandise. The floors are sparkling clean and shiny. The check stand is even strategically placed for maximum customer service. If you need help, the checker is always looking toward the merchandise, just shout out a question. Those who live and work around Watergate, Emeryville are fortunate to have such an amazing grocery store within walking distance. But I encourage the rest of the East Bay to come check out Randy's. read more

I'm here at Randy's market. I heard new owners bought the community market. They got a great selection of groceries from Amy's organic products to protein meats and vegan meats. A bunch of young employees that are very respectful. I recommend this place looks like a family business and I think they're updating the Produce area. Can't wait. read more

Nice neighborhood store that have some take out good food and great sandwiches. Always the watergate community needs a neighborhood store that ppl can walk to. And after work can buy fresh roasted meats, sandwiches, salad, wine etc. read more

Undervalued quality of fresh meats, groceries, fresh produce expansion, and wonderful staff. A little bit of everything and always growing. If they don't have what you want, tell them and they will get it ASAP. Fresh deli selections from menu or by request. A breath of fresh air that's been needed in this area. Great to see them grow, always improving. Great patio grilling selections on select days. Service with a smile. Genuinely interested in providing small town ambiance but that has grown by leaps and bounds - never stagnant. . Every time I stop in (often) there is something new and improved without sacrificing what was good before. read more

This place came up!!! They re-did the store and brought in so many really great items. Uhhh, fresh SemiFreddies bread! Green juices! Produce! Cheese! Love this place now. read more

I happened upon Randy's Market a couple of years ago, when I was in the area and in need of a quick snack fix. - While there for the first time I discovered their liquor section, and was blown away. Mostly because I was not expecting to see one. But the thing that really blew me away was just how extensive their selection was. Further, how reasonable their prices were when comparing them with places like BevMo and Ledger's Liquor in Berkeley. Both of which are go-tos for me. As the months have gone by, I've noticed that Randy's has upped their game even more. Their selection has grown and is as good as anyone's in the area... even better in some ways. But for me, it's all about their deals (see low prices.) Just one example of their great prices on certain liquors; Today, BevMo was charging $60 for El Tesoro Tequila. - Randy's had it for $37.99. - Today, BevMo was asking $34.99 for Glendalough Wild Rose Irish Gin. Randy's had it for $27.99. - It's these kinds of savings that add up, imo. And trust me, that's only the beginning of the savings I have experienced there. One of the best parts about shopping at Randy's is the customer service. It's a small, family-run business, and the owners as well as the employees are super-friendly. What's more, they know their stock very well, and are always at the ready to help you find what you are looking for. And if by chance they don't have what you are wanting, they never hesitate to go above and beyond to order it for you. All you have to do is tell them what it is and they will do what they can to get it in stock for you. Of course, it's also much more than a liquor store. They have multiple other departments as well. - Plus, they have a huge parking lot that's free; very convenient. Small businesses like Randy's are rare these days, and frankly, I appreciate having the option to patronize them as an alternative to going to the big-box chain stores. if I could give them more than five stars I would. - Grateful to have them here in the East Bay. I will continue to be a customer of theirs for as long as they are there. read more

They're convenient and have a great selection of home made and commercial food. The butcher is reasonable and helpful

Secret hidden spot with the best sandwiches in town for an affordable price. Tell everyone you know because I want them to stay around and keep making these delicious amazing sandwiches. They use local bakeries for bread!!! That's what's up. read more

Randy's Market in the Emeryville Watergate complex is simply great. I've known Randy for years because we would take care of our grandkids and walk over for some grocery shopping and the delicious sandwiches Randy would make. Since Randy took over the store recently we are so pleased to wander in and be received by him on a first name basis AND he would even remember the sandwiches we would order. So, to sum it up... great grocery store, super sandwiches and a really nice guy. read more

Best tuna sandwich around. And the coleslaw is good too! My mother has ordered it for years so I had to try it. Delish!

My buddy nick golly goes there believing he can sway an older married women away from her successful husband. I advise the staff to be friendly but short with him. As he will take the smallest jesters / kindness as an act of attraction. Don't entertain him with conversations. read more

Randy has ALWAYS ... at least 27 years ... been the favorite sandwich connoisseur in the neighborhood! Vivian is the best owner ever in caring about her customers. Vivian and Randy are ALL about the love! read more

most improved little market that woke up. the little Buddha of burseries newly cleaned up and given fine tuning by an extended family of experienced grocers. the elevated counter in marble and the solid concrete floor shined up is bringing us back ... the watergate's 1100 apartments tucked behind it. the new produce section is looked after well, Randy is still the chef/major fomo, but now great cheese burgers Tuesday-Thurs lunch is a treat for the towers next to them. doing their best to hold down prices in the face of Trump's inflation, I'm finding it more sensible to pass over TJs on the way home as major brands they refuse to carry. esp cat food & Coke Zero have me in there 3x a week. . Gone is the dust, the clutter, the dismal. Keeps getting brighter each week with happy young brothers busy as a bee. $$ not bad. A little like the Ghazzali's of Eastman, but w a little more class. read more
