Walked in I was greeted. I asked questions on prices. He very kindly answered! I loved he was polite and didn't get aggravated! This store has everything so many goodies. His prices were very reasonable to me. I had a great time walking around . Picking up so many new food items. I loved the honey bun donuts. Customer service A1! Thank you for being so kind! read more

Telegraph Quality Market - Oh yeah $3.99 honey bun yum July 9, 2025 - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Oakland, California

Great spot, once I couldn't afford Pine Sol and some pet cleanup spray at the same time so the guy at the front was kind enough to let me pay him back another day, since I'm a regular. Open REAL late, usually 1am sometimes, nice spot, good for the quick needed baking supplies, late night munchies, or if you just want a cheap drink and dessert to go with your food from next door. Some items are more pricey than the CVS down the road, but then again if you don't have a car and don't wanna walk, then this place and two dollars extra beats an additional 5 minutes walk to a CVS that might not even be open at the right times listed online, right :) And, small businesses are much nicer. I dig that they remember me when I come in, it's nice. Plus the guys working the front are nice and friendly, very chivalrous and maybe even flirty. (Especially the old man, maybe too flirty but lol sometimes i come in looking busted so i take it as a compliment usually.) Excluding Abdul, but he's got manners, usually. On another note, Abdul the young one used to piss me off in middle school, if you're reading this, I still don't like you, man. :) But everything else about the store is great, so I'm not gonna be petty and rate it lower. read more

Wide selection of several styles of both beer and Cider at fair prices. It looks very Oakland on the outside side and very Lafayette in the beer cooler. read more

Convenient and Useful! Just on the corner of telegraph and 24th! They stay open late so it's awesome when you suddenly need something! Love this place read more

I've visited this liquor store nearly every day for the past 12 years. Seriously. It's great that I can always find my favorite junky items - Hot Cheetos, Fanta, Ramen... Reese's, It's-Its. You know. But the best part is being able to snag giant bags of La Finca tortilla chips, Ak-Mak whole-wheat crackers, Ritter chocolate, quinoa, creamer, Larabars, organic beans, kombucha (if I dared drink it), Parmesan ... yes! And booze choices abound: fancy tall-boys, 6-packs, liquors, nips, and even some fine wines are available. Plus, swishers, papers, and tobacco. (I know what you're thinking, and you're almost right). My interactions with Mo (maybe the owner), have always been lovely. We chat and talk shit. But some of the other employees are bland - even rude - from time to time. It is not uncommon for them to simply look at you, hard, once they've rung you up. How much money am I supposed to give you? Who are you talking to? Me, or the Bluetooth? The area is sketch - duh - but just mind your own damn business. Which you should always do, by the way. No matter where or who you are. The store staff are great about protecting patrons, and have even helped me with street trouble a few times. Everything your hipster-ass needs for a good time. read more

A very clean and busy grocery store with a big selection of wine , liquor,grocery and beverages Workers there are very friendly read more

This is a great liquor store to shop at if you are looking for a one stop shop for all your daily needs. They carry all the standard liquor store items like beer, wine, and booze, but they also have plenty of snacks, grocery, and toiletry items to get you by until you can visit a regular grocery store. Their prices are fairly high for most items, but at shops like this you are always paying for the convenience rather than the deals. Knowing that I will pay more by shopping here, I still choose to do so because they have one of the greatest selections in the area for bottled sodas and energy drinks. All in all, they are a decent shop to frequent, just be aware of your surroundings in the area, as crime tends to be heavy around here the closer the evening approaches. read more

...Conveniently carrying all of your late night needs in a tidy home, straight up Oakland style. After grabbing pizza next door, husband and I walk in here for a beer to share. A healthy row of Rogue ale. YES. The man at the counter and friends hanging out watching the basketball game on tv above, made this place have A+ liquor store cred to me. Not to mention he had a conversation with us about our beer selection. Paper bagged it and we were on our way. read more

I'm probably a little biased against convenience stores. They do serve a purpose, which is that they are convenient. And, they are stores. And, as far as convenience goes, this place is that. And, it is a place where staples are housed for sale, which is by definition a store. So, as far as stores that are convenient go, this place is pretty on point. For example, they have almond milk. Now, that's above convenient; that's just good management and providing alternatives for your community. Then, why the two stars? Because when I got to the counter, all the convenience dried up. For example, the dude behind the counter quoted me one price, but then charged me more. I don't know if my man couldn't count or if he was quoting me the family price, then gave me the street price. Either way, that's not convenient. And, they charge you extra for using a debit card, although they don't say that up front. Not convenient. But, he did give me the most durable cheap plastic bag I've ever gotten. So my heavy bottle of pear juice was safe. That was convenient. read more

If you need a six pack and a candy bar, or toilet paper and dishwasher soap, or even coffee and soup, this is the place to go. Telegraph Quality is owned and operated by the greatest staff you'll find, and they keep the place stocked with a wide variety of liquors, beverages, and food stuffs. If they don't have it, you can ask them to order it so you can pick it up another day. I've been going into the market for almost a year now, and all the staff know me by name. They're quick to shake hands, ask how the day is going, and are always happy to talk about the latest news (which is always playing on their overhead TV). One day I asked to borrow a cigarette and they gave me a whole pack! And they're always quick to give me a dollar back when the change is $0.96. These guys are the greatest. In fact, now that I think about it, I'm going over there right now just to say hello! read more

The guys that run this place are legit! Always nice and welcoming to everyone as far as I can tell. Its the perfect place to grab something quick. Its definitely not your one-stop destination for all your shopping needs, but if you need a snack, beer, TP or some dishsoap or something like that, you got it. Standard mini-mart with some A+ dudes that work there. read more

I really appreciate the great customer service, convenient location, and wide variety of basic needs they have at this store. It's also perfect that it's right across the Korean market, and I live less than a block away from both stores. Whenever I can't find something at the Korean market, this is the place I go to. The owner is super nice, and not to mention.. their liquor prices are cheaper than other stores! Plus they carry a number of Oregon beers, which is always a plus for me and my boyfriend. :) read more

I LOVE this place!!! I go to this place everyday for my cigarettes and coffee. This place has great Coffee. Service is great every time all the guys there are fun to chat with them. Owner name is MO he is so friendly and very nice. He will always smile to you when you come in. Also talk about sports or the weather. This store is stocked with everything you need. If they don't have what you want you ask him for it and he will bring it in next day or two. They know everyone in the Comunity and are so friendly with everyone. This store is my favorite. read more

Love going in here.. great verity friendly employees. Great place. Outside is kinda rough we call it bum central due to all the homeless around if you have change in your pockets hold it close so they don't hear it. By the time you get out your car walk into the store at least 3 separate homeless people will ask for change. read more

This place rocks. Like the others have said; awesome friendly and chill staff. Bright and clean on the inside, good selection of almost everything. Dont be afraid to chat it up with the peoples behind the counter. read more

A wonderful staff who hold down the neighborhood with kindness and dignity. Please support!

A vast selection of beer, wine, and liquor for the budding alcoholic looking to expand horizons! I go almost a mile out of my way to shop at Telegraph Quality Market even though there's a liquor store across the street from my house. I get better prices, more selection, and friendlier service. If you're anywhere in the Uptown/Downtown neighbourhood, this is the place to get your booze. read more

what a RUDE non English piece of crap... he was having a cell phone conversation; he was speaking loudly in his native Language; and when he spoke directly to me I could not understand a word he said. So, I pointed. And asked how much; he quoted one price and rang up another on the register. I asked how much were the items he had rang up for me... came to learn that what I heard as 7.99 was actually 11.99; and when I refused to buy it... told him to take that item for 11.99 off my tab... the pig got an attitude... sorry that people like him who obviously hates his job, hates women, hates minorities and is too ignorant to recognize - if you disrespect the majority of the people who patronized you will be out of business soon. read more

the owner, mo, is a completely nice guy. he puts up with a lot from the shady individuals who loiter around outside but he keeps everybody in check. he has a massive selection of both food and beverage. his location is convenient and his prices are competitive. and he is a raiders fan!!! (cant say the same for some of his family / employees - niners fans!!! but they are fun to antagonize) ... and if you need to make a few easy dollars, just bet lou on sports. its easy to win a buck or two from lou. ... jk .. all in all, i like going in there ,.. it feels like "my store" and they know my name. its a friendly store!! read more

Wow, These guys are great! I go to this store 3 times a week shopping for wine ( Yellowtail) woohoo and groceries! My beau likes the micro beers and they have a great selection in stock. The Owner is very nice, great personality and and even better customer service. The neighborhood is a work in progress, but the owner has a BIG and TALL and very handsome green-eyed security guy that looks kinda mean but is also just as nice who will walk me out to my car, across the street or even home when the beau isn't around. (smile) read more
