The Center for ArtEsteem loves Sprouts Oakland!…read more We are a community-based arts education organization, and we were recently granted an event support food donation through Sprouts Oakland's amazing store manager, Rondell! We host an annual student art exhibition with approximately 200 attendees, and thanks to Rondell and Sprouts Oakland, we were able to serve each of our guests for this year's 28th Annual ArtEsteem Exhibition at Studio One Art Center with a tasty array of snacks and ensure they were all hydrated with water bottles. From our students, families, staff, and broader community members - we have deep gratitude for Rondell and the Sprouts Oakland team!! We acknowledge and appreciate your support for the Oakland community and our precious, creative youth artists.

Everything I needed was in stock. The meat section looked great and service was good. The vegetables looked fresh and plentiful. Since self-checkout was closed I walked over to an open checkout counter and went through with ease. The cashier is someone I've seen regularly, she was nice, helpful, and checked me out in a timely manner. I can't believe I haven't written a review before but grateful I thought of it today.

Looking for cheese? There is a hidden nook across from the meat case that offers an amazing, well curated selection of cheeses. Prices in some areas are a little bit higher than somewhere like WF, but they are not a massive corporation, so it is understandable. The staff works like a friendly cohesive team offering great customer service. The market was full of customers, but they did a fantastic job at not allowing lines to form. I plan on making Piedmont Grocery one of my regular stops!

So many good looking meats and varieties of sausages. I wish we could shop here more often, but it's totally out of our price range. We came here on a whim. We were in town for a couple of days and needed lunch later that day without having time to go out. We looked at their inhouse prepackaged refrigerated meals and picked out some eggplant parmesan and went to the prepared food table and took home a half a quart of butternut squash soup. Lunch was warm and filling on a nice chilly day. I was happily surprised that the eggplant parmesan came out so well. It was nicely breaded and wasn't soggy and was very flavorful and not mushy. It was just like a restaurant, other then we had to heat it up ourselves in our toaster oven. The dishes come in tin containers. This is not a place I can shop in regularly, but when I can it's a treat.

First of all this place is open on major holidays. We were missing a few things for Christmas…read moredinner and just love that we can just hope to our local market to get everything we needed. They offer much more of a selection than when they first opened. They definitely have a variety of many different ethnic foods and ingredients at a reasonable price for most of it. For some things their pricing is similar to Safeway, others more like Whole Foods, but for the most part they are reasonable. Especially for a local neighborhood market. I love that the market is open and that they have an amazing selection. Way more than a normal corner store. This store has my support and I shop there often hoping that my little bit helps keep them open and profitable.

A highly underrated grocery store, Monte vista is small but has a surprisingly broad selection of…read moreproduce and ethnic/international foods. The place had a farmers market/Sprouts kind of feel and carried predominantly organic produce. They have almost every type of product but maybe only 1-2 brands for each. I liked that there were many plant-based options, from cream cheese to frozen meals or sweets, but I was disappointed that they specifically didn't have nondairy yogurt which is one of my go-to's for breakfast. Almost everything is organic, and the price reflects that; a regular 15oz can of tomato sauce was $4. Besides that, it seems like a safe and convenient place to shop with their wide selections. The staff member helping at check-out was also very friendly.

As fans of Asian cuisine know -- regular basil just won't cut it for Southeast Asian dishes. You…read moreneed Thai basil, which most markets don't carry. Fortunately, Monte Vista is a nice, local produce market that does! In addition to Thai basil, they also provide ingredients like Thai chili peppers and even Makrut lime leaves. Shop here to your Thai-and-Vietnamese-cuisine-loving heart's content. Friendly, helpful staff. Only downside is that that are occasional quality issues, such as an iffy leaf here and there. Overall, it's a nice, neighborhood produce market that offers Asian ingredients and has a friendly staff. Happy to support it, while it supports my curries and sweet-and-spicy stir-fry dishes.

I've been shopping at this Grocery Outlet for something like 25 years--typing that out gives me a…read morelittle shock! But there's a reason for my continued patronage at this store: it slashes my grocery budget by at least 50 percent, if not more. It makes a big difference during these inflationary times. I used to stick with packaged goods, but in more recent years I've also been getting as much produce as possible at this GO. It's quite a bit less than at the other grocery store I often frequent, a family-run business in the Dimond district. It's not hard to find quality produce here, and they have a respectable amount of organics. The one thing that keeps me from giving this store a full five stars is the fact that they allow signature gatherers to set up shop by the front door, and these people thrust their their damn clipboards and pens in your face when you try to walk in. Today, when I politely declined to fork over my signature, the woman told me, "You should try to give a hoot about this," which was quite annoying. I'm not going to put my signature on something I haven't researched beforehand. These things are not always what they seem to be. In any case, I go to Grocery Outlet to do my shopping, not to debate ballot initiatives with people I do not know, and certainly not to be shamed by them when I don't give them what they want. I really, really wish the GO would not allow these signature gatherers to harass their customers, who are not there to engage in political discussions. In fact, I wish they wouldn't allow these people on the property AT ALL.

The bathrooms are clean, though there is a code and you need to get a staff member to let you in. The only reason I didn't give this place five stars was because of the parking lot. It's a zoo always crowded and a little dicey in terms of safety. I've seen multiple cars get broken into. The checkout lines generally have no more than two or three people in them, with the exception of the express lane. It generally takes me about 3 to 5 minutes of waiting in line to get to a cashier. This might increase on a busy Saturday or Sunday afternoon. What are the best parts of this Trader Joe's, is that they always have somebody giving out samples. Love that!
