Excellent prices! So much to choose from as well. Walked out with 2 boxes worth of gift for less than 90 bucks. Think I got all the kids teachers Xmas appreciation gifts covered. They also have a sample table that you can try their most popular items so you know what they taste like. And it smells so good in there, I don't know what they were making but it was delicious. read more

I found this spot on the Too Good to Go app and I hadn't heard of them before. It's their factory and they have alittle store on site. I got there about 30 before the window closed and a lovely lady helped me. Took me in to the store and picked out like 5 different boxes of cookies. They had some other item which I'll come back and peruse some. When I got home, I noticed on one of the boxes that it was a woman owned business. Ironic as it's Women's History month. The cookies are really good. The lemon tea cookies remind me of the old Lemon girl scout cookies, which I miss. Check them out. read more

Located in the industrial area of San Lorenzo. If you blink you will miss it. There is signage on the gate but upon entry all you see are loading docs, which gives the impression that it is strictly a wear house. But there is a store open to the public. They have an impressive selection. Lots of goods to choose from. I recommend stopping in to grab some goodies. read more

Pretty packaging, horrible flavor. I just tried a chocolate chip dunk cookie.. it's straight lard, with a bit of sugar. I think they forgot the vanilla and the flavor in the chocolate. I usually LOVE supporting local businesses, especially since this is right in San Lorenzo!! But, I'm sorry, too many times, I've had to say "nope" to the cookies and desserts. Their cookies are always "off" in flavor. I think they use an inferior fat substitute. This is just my opinion. Try for yourself, but don't get drawn in by the cute packaging.... read more

Quick and courteous service. Packaging is cute and colorful. The on-site store is well maintained and stocked. The parking lot is filled with employee vehicles, so you have to park on the street. This place is located in the industrial part of Grant Ave where there are rarely ever any visitors. The ingredients used are not overly complicated chemical names nobody can read. Riboflavin (vitamin B) and thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1) are probably the most complex names on the ingredient list. Lemon tea cookies = good lemon flavor, sweetness is just right, and crisp texture. Chocolate brownie thin crisp cookies = ok chocolate flavor, sweetness is just right, and crisp texture. They could use more chocolate flavor. This cookie is one step above cardboard. Key lime soft batch cookies = ok key lime flavor, sweetness is just right, and soft texture. They could use a little more sour lime flavor. Dark chocolate salted caramel mocha coffee cookies = not a good flavor, more bitter than sweet, and stale texture. I didn't taste any caramel. It's not my kinda cookie. Confetti cake batter cookies = inedible, bitter, and soft texture. Lemon & ginger green tea = good. Better with a wedge of lemon and a bit of honey. Pina colada luau drink mix = ok. Mai tai luau drink mix = ok. With only liking 1 out of the 5 different cookies, I can't say that I would come back here. read more

The first thing that popped into their mind is how adorable the packaging is! We all cannot get over that!! Most importantly, the cookies tasted amazing! My personal favorite has been their chocolate chip cookies. In terms of the pricing, it's affordable and can be used as stocking stuffers, which I'll do this year!

We went to buy stuff during the holiday sale and we felt very rushed at check out. Bought a bunch of the Keto pancake mixes and I must say the product is garbage. I was unable to make 1 acceptable pancake after following the measurements and steps closely. I am still confused as to where it all went wrong. My husband tried making some with another bag/batch of batter. Straight to the garbage because he had the same luck. What a waste of my money and eggs. Lastly, this company needs to do better with product package. They sold a calming tea with a "kuznite crystal" attached to the packaging. It's KUNZITE. This was on two different packages for this tea. Do not recommend the products from here. read more

I ordered from TGTG app and I always wondered why they would always have something to sell at a discount everyday. Now I see why. I gave them benefit of the doubt so I ordered 1 TGTG order in September of 2023. I was happy with the amount I got and thought it was a great deal. Boy! Was I wrong! Out of the 5 packages of cookies I got, 3 were expired and the other ones tasted terrible, stale to be exact. And the cookies never looked like the one in the packaging photo. I was very disappointed. On top of that disaster, I waited for 30 minutes before getting my goods; there was no one attending to customers. Obviously there was a guy that saw me standing there and he was sitting in a corner office but didn't ask if I needed help and when I asked him, he said to just wait there until someone comes. Poor quality, poor service! Will not recommend to anyone and will not be back. Good riddance! read more

I purchased a gift set by this company called "Wisdom of Tarot and Tea" and was surprised to find that half of the deck was missing when I got home. The art work was beautiful so I started googling them and found that it was originally created by artists named James Battersby and Christine Aguiar from Tarot Collectables in the UK. I reached out to him and learned that Too Good Gourmet does not have permission to use his work, admitted to their mistake, and still continues to sell it anyway. They have not offered him any compensation for his intellectual property, yet they continue to profit off of it? I will be sure to stay away from anything this company does in the future. read more

This business is selling a tarot deck that is appropriated (ie, stolen) from the original artist, James Battersby, then printed in China, and sold as part of their basket. The artist and creator, James Battersby, receives no credit or compensation. Only complaints from loyal customers that the decks being sold by HomeGoods and other US companies are defective. Likely a result of being printed by a third party in China. I wonder if HomeGoods, or any of the companies involved, will do the right thing? Stay tuned ... read more

I bought the Chocolate Chip Cherry cookies at my local Pavillions. The packaging was adorable, but the cookies were way too sweet, without any discernible butter flavor. They were so sweet that I couldn't enjoy them at all and had to toss them. If Too Good can make them half as sweet, it would bring out the other flavors. More butter and more cherries would be nice too. I gave a couple of these out as gifts and now I worry that the recipients might not have enjoyed them either. Alas - I really wanted to like these since the company was started by a mother and daughter. read more

I'm big on keto snacks and have tried almost every keto product in the market. Many of them are pretty good and others are just downright awful, such as any and all of the products from this company. I've tried a variety of cookies and a couple of the cheese straws from this company, but they are incredibly disappointing. I keep giving them a chance, but each time is another let down and waste of money. All of their products taste stale, not crunchy/crispy at all, and really lacking in flavor. Some are just spit-out-of-your-mouth worthy, especially the cheese straws. I'm not sure how they're in business with products that taste this bad. Do better!! read more

hoping this'll help as feedback: i've purchased a couple boxes of these cookies since the big beautiful box packaging always looked great, but i'm always disappointed with how much empty space there is in there, with just a single sleeve of 8 cookies in each box. like, i immediately feel ripped-off upon opening these boxes, then i feel regret upon eating, and finally feel guilt for not being able to recycle the dang packaging. anyways, just wanted to say smaller packaging may actually look cuter and may end up being cheaper, but at the very least it'd be more honest and i wouldn't feel cheated every time i open a box like it was a bad Christmas joke. however i don't know what to say about the taste...like the Keto Maple Pecan was almost OK, but this Cinnamon Donut tastes like the box itself. read more

We purchased a large amount of various items from Too Good Gourmet's store. Many of the items were given as gifts to family in several states. I was told that the taste of the cookies leaves a lot to be desired. But, that is not what this review is about. I bought five boxes of the Holiday Candy Crackers. Two boxes were sent out of state and the other three were used as a fun addition to our Christmas breakfast table. The packaging is very cute. However, the "gummy" candy inside was/is awful!!!!! It is so hard that some of the gummy worms were broke in half. I had a couple of six and eight year olds who opened the crackers and were so disappointed at the condition of the candy - the bags were not even opened. The one bag that was opened, the child tried to take a bite and then spit it out. Three of the crackers were not even opened as everyone figured, "What's the point?". My sons asked me if I had purchased them last year. No, I did not! I looked at the "best buy" date on the boxes and it is 09/09/2022. That candy will be petrified by then! My son who is out of state, told me that the candy in the crackers was hard and not edible. That was before I said anything/or asked him what he thought. I did send an email to the company letting them know of this experience. I think what gets me is that a company that says something about "great customer service" did not even have the courtesy to acknowledge the email. I was not asking for my money back! Anyway - my lasting thoughts on Too Good Gourmet is that you are paying for the packaging not the items inside. If a company chooses to put stale, non edible candy inside a cute package - shame on them! Perhaps there is no quality control, I don't know?!?! read more

Had a difficult time rating this between 3 or 4 stars. The variety of cookies was fairly extensive with much to select from, but the taste of the cookies was average. The main attraction was the packaging. Boxes were artfully designed, festive and perfect for gifts. We went during the X'mas season so they spared no space in decorating their rooms for visitors and that says a lot, since their showroom is very small. Free samples were laid out for tasting made this a nice feature. Very reasonable pricing plan They are open 7 days of the week during X'mas. The building is actually a warehouse and has a very non-descript look in front and can be easily passed by. read more

I like their cookies. Ever since they started their Christmas season sales a few years backI go there about four or five times during their sale period. Some of the sales people recognize me from year to year. i eat their samples, drink their cider, and eat some more samples after which I sample all of their various dips. I usually wind up spending $20-30 a pop getting some cookies to hand out.

I remember the first time visiting Baron's Quality Meats and Seafood and we bought a Denver Steak,…read morewhich was recommended by a friend's dad who used to be a butcher. [From the web] "A Denver steak, also known as Zabuton, is a relatively new, well-marbled, and tender cut of beef from the chuck primal section under the shoulder blade. It comes from the serratus ventralis muscle and is prized for its rich flavor and buttery texture, similar to a ribeye, despite being from a traditionally tougher area of the cow. It is best cooked using high-heat searing methods to fully develop its flavor and tenderize it. After cooking it, it wasn't as tender as we had hoped. He said you need to braise it. D'oh! We enjoy looking at the customer's dry aged beef sitting in the display case. Support your local business.

There's plenty of free parking and tons of shops nearby. The only difference I noticed is the service. It's not as welcoming or friendly as the Alameda location, and that stood out to me. Other than that, the quality of the products is solid.

Order the ube cheesecake, butter toffee cookie, and a assam milk tea with boba. The order came out quickly. Ube Japanese cheesecake is tasty, not too much ube taste. It is super light and moist, love how it is not too sweet. For the assam milk tea, I prefer it with more tea flavor. The drink was ok, the matcha drinks look better. The butter toffee cookie was the best, it was flavorful, the toffee has added toasted nutty flavor with some sugar. I would get a box full. Overall, has a great variety of baked goods.

I went back and grabbed a second drink so that I could meet the minimum. When the cashier checked the price, the total for the two drinks was $4.99. Even though it was only one cent short, she still refused to complete the transaction and told me that it was not $5. Honestly, this was extremely frustrating and completely unnecessary. Refusing a purchase over one cent, especially after I had already added another item to meet the minimum, is ridiculous and very poor customer service. The entire experience was unacceptable and frankly quite disappointing. I hope management seriously reviews this policy and how customers are being treated. I do not recommend this store to anyone.

EVERYBODY loved it. My favorite hands down was the chocolate covered date. You HAVE to get that one. I only got a single, but I wish I got like five. You can also pick and choose and they provide you a little baggie to put them all in. They also sell turkish delight which he cuts for you by hand. I really enjoyed the pomegranate one as a nut-allergy girlie. The rose water was a little too rose-y for me. Too floral, it tasted like the smell of a grandma with her potpourri. They also sell nuts and other goodies like Palestinian ceramics. I had to get myself a Falasteeni ceramic magnet. It was so beautiful, painted with olives all over. Zaytoun aesthetic! Will def be back to calm my sweet tooth. And always, free Palestine!

This is not a review about their food but rather their lack of ethics. This company has stolen my work , stripped me and my cocreator's name off of it, lifted the written PDF directly off our site,printed it and is now selling it to Homegoods as part of a gift set called The Wisdom of Tea and Tarot gift set. I found out about it through someone who recognised my work and contacted me about the deck included with the set. These people dont even provide a full deck of cards with their product. They also refuse to respond to a cease and desist request from myself, Outrageous. If it werent for people who recognise my work they would continue cheating me indefinately. Im sure they dont need to cheat artists . We worked very hard on that deck. It seems to me they have a good business going without having to steal... read more

Heard good reviews of this company. Ordered some cookies, one week later and the order is still "awaiting fulfillment." Tried to communicate with the firm via their "800" number and via the "message" section of their website. Have never received even an acknowledgement of the question...let alone an answer. A better example of POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE cannot be experienced elsewhere. One gift delivery ruined...thanks! read more
