    Yes, this delightful market is on the spectrum of rarified lifestyle yuppie luxury urban upscale style and, yes, it almost turned me off with eye roll and a snuff. That was until I actually went in, warmly welcomed by a lovely lady behind the counter and immediately, wonderfully all my senses overwhelmed with delectable choices. So it does look that way, but it is far from precious. There is some solid serious good food here. And lots and lots of candles, quirky candies, and too-cute- to -eat chocolate bars. Local bread, Non alcoholic mixes, cheeses, mayos, sauces, beans, frozen selection, cold drinks, cookbooks. All well curated, tempting, and fun. The buckwheat chocoloate cookies from Pinyon bakery of Ojai are craveable crazy good! Come in fresh every Thursday, $4. There is actually a pretty good selection, certainly enough to grab a basket and fill it with necessities and, of course. a unique treat that will look artistic and good out on a shelf too.

    Excellent array of beautiful products from candles to food items. It is a delight just to enter the store. Great hostess gifts. Hope they might carry zeroe plant based caviar, unique plant cheeses and more plant based. But is still fun to peruse for a favorite salt or unique gift

    The Eddy is my go to spot for thoughtful gifts. While the shop is quite small, you can still easily spend an hour in there looking at everything! I love their NA drink options, Swedish candy, and cutting boards.

    A corner store with a hip international foodie twist. For example: yes, they have Heinz ketchup -- but it's organic. And they have harissa, too. You see? Not a huge stock, but lots of interesting items, many imported. Some fresh produce (lots of garlic!), and a cooler, too. They do not have a kitchen, but they do sell sandwiches (they were out when I stopped by, so I can't tell you what they looked like) and other suitable-for-a-picnic stuff. A few tables for outside dining. In the architecturally pleasing Spanish-style building across from the Historical Museum, that used to be the Bead Shop.

Back in the day it was a mom and pop running the store and now it's local friendly helpful teens/college students. The store is very clean and well stocked. The sandwiches are top notch, fresh bread, quality meats and cheese and you can't beat that. Tons of Italian groceries to purchase and very authentic. Very helpful if you have questions about all the Italian groceries.

My gf and I decided to try it out and we were pleasantly surprised by how good the sandwich was. We got the Super deluxe sandwich to go and it was ready within 5-10 minutes. Staff were kind and the inside of the store sells authentic Italian groceries from pastas to Olive Oils to deli meats. They have some small tables inside for seating but we decided to take it to go. We were really happy with how yummy it was, it tasted fresh and we really enjoyed it. I like the deli meat and the bread was fresh. Im happy to have tried out the spot and I would definitely swing by again if the opportunities presents itself.

I must mention their prices are also super fair and you can get a great deal on high quality items!! I am not from here, but I am a frequent visitor. I have always had a difficult time sourcing Asian grocery items until I discovered this spot. Their store holds so many surprises within its aisles. From dozens of varieties of soy sauce to specialty frozen foods and ceremonial fruits, Nikka has it all! I was looking for ingredients to make Lu Rou fan, a Taiwanese traditional braised pork, and was struggling to find the ingredients elsewhere. I came in looking for 2 types of soy sauce, shiitake mushrooms, and vegetables. They had it all! A very wonderful, kind woman assisted me and pointed me to exactly what I needed. We also had a sweet conversation about taiyaki, which I was also able to buy from here. I'm so sad I didn't get her name! If you are reading this, thank you for the help!! I have been back a few times since my first visit and each time I go it is awesome! If you are looking for specialty items or just want a new place to get groceries, stop here!!! :)

I'd been doing Instacart orders from them but first time physically inside this weekend to check them out. The inside was super super clean. Major points there! In the time I was shopping around they had plenty of staff working, floors being mopped and all of the aisles were well organized and pretty. This market is a pretty standard Asian goods focused grocery store. I found about 85% of what I wanted here. I wish they had a premium sushi section and some more Hawaiian imported goods (aside from juices and sauces) but otherwise I was able to find everything I was looking for. Their hot bar is also solid. A wide selection of items to pick and I felt the pricing was reasonable. Actually throughout the whole store the prices are good compared to other grocery stores right now. I had a full bag of items for $50, good luck elsewhere getting those kinds of prices. I didn't have too much of an interaction with the staff while there, but again, lots of people working and keeping this spot in tip top shape. Also the woman working the register who checked me out was very nice. A great supermarket and I'll definitely be back more often now since checking them out.
