    Chocolate lovers!! This place is such a cute gem to find chocolates from all around the world. It's the perfect pls do go go to if you're looking for a gift or you need to add-on that one more thing to your gifts. Each time I come here I want to buy all the chocolates and give it out to friends and family. They have nice looking luxury chocolates bars as well.

    It's supposed to be Organic Earl Grey but it has no flavor/aroma.

    I really wanted to like this shop but I bought a 1/4 lb of loose Organic Earl Grey tea and it's got zero flavor and no fragrance. It's obviously too old and it's been reduced to near powder. The flavor is very weak and frankly kinda tastes like dusty sadness. There is no fragrance at all. And I don't have Covid nose, because I bought some at Berkeley Bowl and that's been great. So an entire 1/4 lb of tea is wasted - hope it's better as compost.

I ordered the salami and cheese sandwich with purple onions. I had to order with Dutch Crunch which is a real San Francisco thing. The sandwich was tasty but that extra thickness of cheese made it more delicious. This is the spot for a good classic sandwich. They have a good sandwich deli where the flavor packs a "punch" and with cheese by the "bunch" and it's good for a solid "lunch" and you are a sandwich novice if you don't like a sandwich with "Dutch Crunch" You can will find cheese almost anywhere in the world from France to "Venezuela"they have lots of cold cuts at Cheese N Stuff like "mortadella" and ask for cheese like provolone and "mozzarella" and other cheeses because they have" hella"

Definitely come early, though--a line starts forming about 20-30 minutes before opening. Once they open, it moves quickly, and you can order a slice, half pizza, or full pizza. They only serve one flavor per day, and it's always vegetarian. My husband is very much a meat-lover pizza kind of guy, so he was skeptical, but we were both surprised by how flavorful it was. You honestly forget there's no meat because it's just that good. They also have their famous green sauce, which a lot of people recommend, though I personally thought the pizza was great without it. Cheeseboard Collective definitely lives up to the hype, and I'd happily come back.

The service was amazing. My husband was inquiring about how an almond cookie tasted like and they took one out of the case and cut it so we could taste it. Everything else we ordered though was delicious. Cheesecake was rich and creamy, the princess cake was moist, the mini fruit tart was fresh, and the chocolate mousse was rich. The challah bread was soft and you can't taste the good quality olive oil that was used. Added bonus is there is a free parking lot in the back. Free parking in Oakland?!? Heck yea!

I…read morelove my community, and I make a point of supporting small businesses, especially those owned by Arab, North African, and Muslim families because they remind me of home. My family, friends, and I have shopped here for a long time, but after what happened today, that will no longer be the case. With the World Cup playing, I knew this store was selling Algerian jerseys. I wanted to surprise two of my American friends who have been proudly supporting Algeria by buying them jerseys. Today, I asked a friend to stop by the store and buy two jerseys. The employee working at the store today 06/30/25 between approximately 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. told my friend that the jerseys were $40 each. My friend noticed the jerseys did not have the star on them and politely asked whether they could be $35 instead (we had previously purchased 2 jerseys that had 2 stars and were $40) . The employee responded by saying, "As a matter of fact, I'll charge you $45." My friend asked why and even mentioned that he was Algerian, hoping there might be some flexibility. Instead, according to my friend, the employee responded by calling him a homophobic slur in Arabic. My friend is one of the kindest people I know. He wasn't rude, he wasn't disrespectful, and he wasn't looking for an argument. He simply wanted to buy two jerseys. Rather than make a scene, he paid for the jerseys and left. He later called me, and hearing how hurt and humiliated he was absolutely broke my heart. No customer should ever have to experience that. It is disgusting, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable.Whether you personally agree with someone's sexuality is your own business. However, when you are working in customer service, your job is to treat every paying customer with basic human dignity and respect. Calling someone a slur because of who they are or as a matter of fact who you think they are has absolutely no place in any business. An employee represents the business they work for. Their actions reflect on the store and its management. If this employee felt comfortable speaking to a customer this way, I have to question what kind of environment allows that behavior. I'm not asking for special treatment, not asking anyone to change their personal or religious beliefs. I am asking for the bare minimum: RESPECT . Every customer who walks through your doors deserves to be treated with courtesy regardless of their race, religion, nationality, gender, or sexual orientation. I am very interested to see how the owners respond to this review. If what happened to my friend is consistent with how customers are treated, I believe it deserves to be taken seriously. No one should be subjected to homophobic slurs while simply trying to make a purchase. If they choose not to address this, I will consider reporting the incident to the appropriate agencies and organizations that handle discrimination complaints, as well as sharing my experience on other review platforms. This isn't about seeking revenge it's about expecting every customer to be treated with basic dignity and respect. I have always made an effort to support Arab, North African, and Muslim-owned businesses because they represent my community and my culture. That support, however, should never come at the expense of basic human decency. Until this matter is properly addressed, neither I, my family, nor my friends will be returning or recommending this business to others.

The hot foods in the deli section also looked really good, and there's a bakery with freshly made sweet/savory goodies as well as a changing pizza special every other day. Every section seems to always have a line in their cozy space, so it can sometimes be hard to navigate around to shop. You will need to take a number ticket at each station that you want service from (bakery, hot deli, butcher, etc). The bakery has their own cashier, but the other sections all seem to be paid at 2 registers at the end of the small market hall.
