    Cheese Jalapeño Tamales $2.50  Fresh Sliced Mango $7-8 Fresh Coconut Meat and Water $12

    Perfect go to place in the morning weekend. Kinda scary cause it in the corner and some cars drives fast to chase the green/yellow traffic light. They get a lot of customers and we're lucky enough to get a table and chairs. They also sell BBQ Ribs - we got half rack for $20. Pricey but tender and juicy (no pjoto)

    I got some goodies there!

    I have always wanted to stop at this corner market but never took the time. Finally while waiting for our Niles Train Ride I Drove over. This place is a gem. Fresh fruits, coconuts cracked and the juice put in cups For immediate consumption. Lots of snacks including Mexican food products and candy. Clean, and very friendly helpful People working there. Try it out you won't be disappointed. Q

    I have passed this little shop SO MANY times in on the way to Pleasanton and I never stopped in until Sunday afternoon. My cousin suggested that we go so we can get a fresh coconut and some Mexican snacks. This shop is VERY small. It was a hot day in the 90s so they had that AC blasting! I was so grateful. There was about 50 people in and out of this shop so come with caution! All of the staff had their masks on but there is definitely not enough room to social distance. If you are still paranoid about 6ft apart, do not come here. They have a variety of Mexican snacks, sweets, fruit, and beverages to choose from. We came here for the fresh coconut. I never had fresh coconut in my life! It was very good but unfortunately I have stupid braces so it was hard for me to chew. I think next time I will have to bring my blendjet so I can actually drink and enjoy it. The coconut water was super refreshing on a hot day. They also had pupusas!? We didn't get any but I want to get some when I come back. They even had pupusa toppings in the refrigerator as well. This place is really cool and I will be back.

    Let the fluorescent sign lure you inside to the loaded cooler of fresh green coconuts that can be purchased whole, or for an extra cost have cut up for a refreshing drink and hearty snack. "End of the Road"

    You know the place~ You're cruising through Niles Canyon maybe on your bike, motorcycle or even in a car your thirsty... or feeling a snack... Hmmmm a coconut? Some prickly pears? Or on a hot day an ice cream?! Or maybe you just wanna meet up with your friends? Or you wanna peek at the beautiful horses across the street... my inner 9 year old still loves to visit the horses! Sometimes they have local vendors in the parking lot selling all kinds of stuff. The most recent stop had a guy selling some really nice juniper bonsai... Speaking of local, all the fruit & produce is locally sourced. So keep a mom & pop place in business. Stop in and check it out.

    This is my favorite corner shop, and I've been here many times, especially for their fresh coconut water. They even cut the coconut for you! The staff is always friendly, and their fruits are consistently fresh. It's a great spot to stop by.

    If these photos don't make your mouth water, I don't know what will LOL Cute little market with a bunch of fresh fruits! They keep all the spices and toppings outside so you can put as much as you want. I love adding the tajin powder, chamoy, lime juice, and tobasco

    Perfect for the car ride

    What a great spot! The owner Tony has done an amazing job making this the perfect corner store for refreshments. You can't beat the freshness of the coconut, they give you all the meat and a cup full of natures water! It's ice cold and the perfect stop on your commute. It's a little hole in the wall once you exit but it's filled with amazing hot sauces and Latin games and Knick knacks. A must to stop by! Great job to the owners, WE LOVE THIS PLACE.

    a fruit stand

    Little market. Tamales are amazing. Service is fantastic. Juan, one of the owners is very friendly. Definitely recommend some of the fresh Coconut water. Chop them in front of you, and they're cold and refreshing. Definitely coming here more often

    Papaya, Plums, Guavas

    This country side fruit stand has been around for as long as I can remember. I'm just sure many hands have ran this place, as there were times when it was barely open. Well, the newest incarnation I'm proud to announce is the best yet. I've been by twice, once during summer (the best!) and once recently in December. The inside of the stand/shack is super tiny. It actually looks more like a mexi-mart than it does a fruit stand. But that's their lean/ownership. Lots of snacks geared for Mexican taste. Lots of things dusted in chile powders and Mexicans love the combo of sweet/tart/spicy all in one shot. They love taking a sweet fruit (ie mango, melons, even young coconut flesh) and dousing it with lime juice and topping it something spicy, either a dry spice or a hot sauce, and often both. I know it sounds strange for an American, but don't knock it til you try it. I first tried these on Mexican vacations and I've been a fan of it ever since. Inside this shack is where you'll find all the prepped goods in this fashion. On the outside, there's a small makeshift counter displaying some fresh produce. Many are local but many also have a tropical edge, so obviously those come from an entirely different climate. But in what I have gotten, pretty damn good. Much better on my summer visit as fruits tend to be in their prime then. Cherries (summer visit 5*) Not the prettiest as some have little dents/dimples, but damn are they tasty. Ever have Costco cherries? Super plump and pretty, but zero cherry flavor...garbage! These are the opposite of Costco cherries. Green Plums (summer visit 5*) I grew up loving these, getting these at rural fruit stands on family road trips. But it seemed the older I got, the less I ran into them, almost like they were being phased out. And when I would find one, not as sweet/good as I remembered them being. Until now, this place reunited me with a childhood fond memory. They have good connections here to have fruits this primo. Mangoes (summer visit 5*) O M G freaking amaze! These are the smaller bright yellow ones. Not the fatter multicolored ones. I think you can only get it by the small case, but don't let that deter you, GET IT anyways. The most perfect mango I've ever had. Perfectly sweet, perfect pure mango flavor and the most impressive aspect, perfectly smooth and custard-like texture. No stringy fibers which I despise. I may have gotten super lucky but damn, I'll take that lightning in a bottle. Such an impressive memory. Red Plums (3.5* winter visit) okay so this is on me, I purchased a summer fruit in the middle of winter. But they were so plump that I gave it a whirl. No where as sweet as a summer version and even a little dryish. But still not horrible, just not in it's prime. Guavas (4* winter visit) I'm sure these are from Mexico, so far from local lol. My dad loves these, so when I find em', I'll buy a bunch and drop them off to him as a treat. I tried a couple and they were fine. If they are firm, you gotta let them ripen on the counter til they soften a bit, much like a banana. Very tropical taste, very unique. So I'd say this fruit stand isn't so conventional American. And I am so down with that! Convention is for the meek and the content.

    Coconut!

    Tucked away in a little stretch of 680 out in Sunol is this nice little market and fruit stand that is worth stopping by. They offer local products such as honey and plenty of fresh produce (a good chuck of which seemed to be locally sourced. They will slice up some fruits for you such as coconuts, pineapples, and I think even tunas (prickly pear cactus fruit). Perfect for a hot day in The Bay! I passed by recently because I was seriously craving coconuts. They're pretty good here! Just grab one from the refrigeration unit on the left and bring it up to the counter. You can choose between just the coconut juice or both the juice and the meat. They even have a condiment station close to the door so you can top your coconut meat with chamoy, tajin, bottled lemon juice (I personally wouldn't since they give you a wedge of real lime), tapatio, and others. ___Bonus Material___ -They have paletas in the freezer unit closest to the door! -There is an ATM on premises. -Follow them on social media for updates on their offerings. They are a bit out of the way for me, but I'll stop by if I'm really craving coconut or if I'm driving through that section of 680.

    If you can believe it or not, previously a fresh coconut from the refrigerator.

    Namu Gaji Farm

    I have a certain love for farms, and whenever the opportunity comes along to visit a local farm I…read moretry my best to take on that opportunity. I had the honor of visiting with Kristyn Leach and the Namu Gaji Farm several months ago. In case you're wondering about the name the Namu Gaji Farm provides fresh organic vegetables exclusively to the San Francisco restaurant Namu Gaji, but there's more to this story than that. Kristyn Leach is a native South Korean who as in infant was adopted by an Irish American family in New York. She was introduced to farming when she got involved in an urban community garden while attending college. Her interest grew and upon relocating to Washington state she began planting her own perilla. Perilla more commonly known as Japanese shiso is an essential herb in Korean cooking. When Kristyn moved to California she took on the task of managing a lettuce farm where she continued to grow her own perilla. She found work as a cook at Oakland's Camino Restaurant, and it was there where the chef introduced her to the Lee brothers of Namu Gaji. One of the brothers, David, was actively seeking a supplier of organic Korean perilla for their restaurant. Kristyn told us she had never met anyone who was so passionate about the herb. Their collaboration began there as Kristyn agreed to farm Asian vegetables for the Lee brothers. The Sunol AgPark located in Alameda County is a collaborative farm community owned by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission managed by a third party (SAGE) and shared by several farms who lease the land on an annual basis. It was there where Kristyn found an acre of available farmland to start the Namu Gaji Farm. Through her own studies she learned of traditional techniques of Korean peasant farming as well as New Age holistic farming. She combines ancient techniques as well as new ones on her farm. Unlike other farms she welcomes wildlife creating a natural habitat for birds and fosters specific insects and micro-organisms to provide nutrients in her soil. Bad insects are warded off by natural means as well. Sustainability is key on the Namu Gaji Farm. Kristyn does not till her soil and does all of her farming by hand. Her soil contains twice the organic matter as required by organic standards. She has even concocted her own fertilizer using kelp. Her annual water use is 50,000 gallons which is half of what the other farms on the Sunol AgPark use (between 100,000 to 140,000 according to a SAGE representative on our tour). Upon taking a walk through her farm everything just looked wild unlike any farm I've toured before. Because it was pouring rain on the day of our visit I kept the photo-taking to a minimum. On the farm she grows two types of peppers for Namu Gaji in addition to Korean melons, Kabocha squash, several types of radishes, burdock, Napa cabbage for kimchi and Korean soybeans. Today she grows more vegetables than the restaurant can use so she has created a CSA specifically for domestic abuse victims through the organization KACEDA (Korean American Coalition to End Domestic Abuse). She harvests her crops 3 times a week (twice for Namu Gaji and once for the CSA). At the conclusion of our tour we were treated to a delicious lunch (http://bit.ly/2bf2mVZ) cooked by Namu Gaji and incorporating perilla, soybeans, cabbage, daikon and leafy greens all grown on the farm. Interested individuals were also offered seedlings to start their own vegetable gardens.

    Accidentally hit the review button and now yelp is badgering me to finish my review. I was…read moreresearching CSAs in the area for our family. I read the only other review and I was very impressed by the history of the farm and it's cultivators. I am also impressed that extra food grown is donated to a worthy cause. I you ever need a volunteer I would be interested.

Great selection for menu offerings. Sharing the tri-tip steak and eggs with my daughter. And an ube latte, ube matcha iced coffee and mango matcha. When it comes to the Bay Area's ube drinks, I'm always let down and I surprise myself when I do order it. Like tell me I'm lying when Starbucks' ube was a massive fail for me as a Filipino. Post- meal: steak was medium rare and juicy. My younger daughter was in heaven with her tri-tip and A1. Country potatoes were well seasoned. My daughter had club sandwich which she ate voraciously. She's not typically a sandwich person so this was a good sign! Our specialty drinks. Now, with the ube. The ube foam had the tiniest hint of ube flavor but it was more of a purple foam and didn't satisfy my craving. My younger daughter had the ube matcha and although she liked the ube foam, she kept asking me to ask for more because her drink only tasted like matcha. It was more of the same for my daughter who thought there wasn't enough mango in the mango matcha. If we don't finish our drinks, we usually take it home to go but we decided to leave ours. It's not enough to have a good presentation of specialty coffee drinks but the taste leaves one wanting. I want them to do good. There are better foams and syrups out there. Check out the syrup that Porto's uses for their ube matcha. There's great small batch syrups as well. Our waiter was lovely. You get the sense that this is possibly his family's business. If not, he definitely had pride in this restaurant and his work which leads me to believe that I would give this place a try again to eat their food and see if they've improved their coffee menu.
