I was especially impressed by the wide variety of imported cheeses, French Isigny AOP butter, beautifully marbled American Wagyu steaks, Berkeley-made NY-style bagels, Rosa Brothers glass-bottled milk, and even whole rabbit. Every aisle had something unique to discover. The quality of the products is excellent, and it's a great place to shop if you enjoy cooking or putting together a cheese board. Even the kitchen towels and small gift items were thoughtfully curated, adding to the market's cozy atmosphere. If you're looking for premium ingredients and a grocery shopping experience that's a little different from the big chain stores, Zanotto's is absolutely worth the visit. I'll definitely be coming back for the butter, cheese, and steaks!

I love how each location is slightly different from each other. The employees are literally the nicest people, always soooo friendly and efficient when I order from the counter. I am obsessed with the sandwiches they make, and I am on a mission to try them all! I love the Pesto chicken sandwich (which is not made at the Rose garden location), the caprese baguette, chicken mozzarella, salami & Brie, basically cannot go wrong with any of them. This Willow Glen location has a bunch of pre made meals too from burritos to lasagna to little snack boxes. And a salad bar which I always need to get. Love the vibe it's like family owned but still modern in today's ages.

My group was hungry, and they kept the pizzas coming for hours without hesitation or slowing down. Every pizza came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. They have vegan and gluten free options. The team was professional, organized, and a pleasure to work with from start to finish. The response was so overwhelmingly positive that I've already booked them for my next event. If you're looking for pizza that will impress a crowd, I can't recommend them highly enough!

I ordered the beef steak with rice and my bf order the chicken suqaar with rice. The food took a…read morewhile to come out but when it did arrive, I immediately noticed the generous portions. Both meats were juicy, flavorful, and tender but if I had to pick one it would hands down by the beef steak. One thing to note about the dining experience is that it was uncomfortably hot inside the restaurant. I went on a summer day when it was in the high 80s and the restaurant didn't have AC or a fan... it was a lot warmer inside the restaurant than it was outside. I felt so relieved when I stepped outside.

My first time trying Somali food and definitely won't be the last! I read some reviews prior to…read morecoming so I knew we weren't going to have water, but man that tea or Shaah was tasty! It did have a lot of sugar, but it was pretty similar flavor-wise to Indian chai (sans milk), so it paired very well with our order. We ordered the chicken suqaar and the beef wrap. We opted for the chapati (sabaayad in Somali) with the chicken suqaar, but would love to try their rice or their version of injera during our next visit! The menu at first glance looks kinda confusing since they have Lunch in big letters on one side with a ton of their dishes and Dinner on the other side with the remainder of the dishes, making it seem like a few items are available during this time... but the Lunch portion just states that it comes with a side of rice, pasta, chapati, or injera (which is the same as Dinner...) so kind of an interesting stylistic choice there, but this is to say that everything on the menu is available the whole time they're open. The meals were so flavorful- the chicken suqaar had a ton of onions, carrots, chicken, green-bean like veggie, and spices, and was served with a green sauce that had kind of a habanero or jalapeno taste to it. The beef wrap was huge and I only ate half of one for dinner- it was flavored so well and the beef was cooked perfectly. This came with a side of the green sauce and a white sauce. I'd love to return and try their injera with chicken, kay kay chicken, beef suqaar or beef steak, and their sambusas! I saw some on another diner's plate and it looked sizable and filling. Jubba is located right next to a VTA light rail and an apartment complex so there's decent foot traffic, but overall, a wonderful place to try and eat!

I was very disappointed in their service on two key points…read more First of all, I ordered from Bleu Fig based on their online photos of large, artfully chaotic platters with imagination, flowers, unusual crudites, and color. What I received when expecting a $300 platter was a rather plain circle of sliced vegetables with dip on a compostable saucer and two small dishes. the $275 charcuterie platter was better composed, but not mind-blowing. Secondly, the order was expected at 12:15pm, and wasn't ready as she was still working on it past 12:50. This made me miss key important parts of my event, the guests arrivals, and late in picking up other catered items which got cold. I got no phone call or text letting me know the order was going to be late and it ruined a key portion of my event.

I walked in and turned left to find a bunch of serving ware and cookware, tucked next to it are aisles of snacks and cookies. The farthest left corner is the raw meat section - this was the only aisle I didn't visit, and it's taking away from 5 star rating! The aisle had a strong odor, foul almost! Perhaps a little cleaning and maybe storage/refrigeration should be looked into. I was particularly drawn to the tahini and spice aisle. Also, the Mexican pottery section. I walked in with a resolve to just look around. Alas, I walked out with a bag of amazing goodies! Dry dill, mint leaves, dry green sabzi mix, plenty of other spices. Worth a visit!!!

Unfortunately, I visited again today, and things have only gotten worse. The pork section has now expanded into a major part of the store, while the halal section has been reduced to what feels like a small kiosk. For a business that built its reputation around serving the Muslim community, this is incredibly disappointing. I asked the Arab Muslim working at the checkout if these changes were hurting their business. He smiled and told me that business is actually better than before. If that's the direction the owners want to take, that's their choice--but it also means they've chosen profit over the values that originally brought many of us through their doors. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if beer and alcohol are next. The store no longer resembles the halal market it once claimed to be. Today was my last purchase here. I have officially stopped shopping at La Princesa and will be taking my business elsewhere. As a Muslim, I cannot support a store that has moved so far away from the principles it once represented. I dont know how do these people even sleep at night doesn't their conscious bite them of guilt and disgust for cheating Allah and the community. In my opinion, they have traded their values for profit, and that is deeply disappointing. May Allah guide them back to the right path.

I paid $100 in cash and I received $5.63 back. I checked the receipt as I was walking out. The receipt showed change back of $7.63. I was shorted $2. I went right back inside and presented my receipt and the change back. The employee apologized and gave me back $2. I should mention that they were not super busy at all. 2 star is for not trusting the check out process. I will go back there again for shopping with full attention to scanning and checking the receipt. The management needs to work on gaining the public trust back. I reversed the review to 5stars for timely response from the business.

I've known of J&P Cosentino Farm for years and knew the…read moregeneral area of where it was, but it really is tucked into a neighborhood so that you wouldn't find it unless you were looking for it. The farm sits at 2 acres and boasts a variety of fruit trees, some bee boxes, a small flower garden, and a very well stocked farmstand. The stand has a variety of in-season fruits and vegetables, starter plants and herbs (they had tomatoes and strawberries when I visited in April), and a bunch of locally made and seasonal goods. Not everything comes from the farm, but they source from other farms in the Bay Area and state, and local businesses. They also work with local businesses to use their produce for fun products like jams, cocktail mixers, and dried fruits. They have tours and events at the farm, we got a tour when we went and it was really cool to learn all about the history, see the different fruit trees, and then of course visit the farmstand after and shop around.

It's…read moretucked away in a really nice, quiet cul-de-sac in a clean neighborhood behind Branham High School on the south side. If you live in the Almaden or Branham area, it's such a cool little hidden gem and definitely worth stopping by. The fruit looked super fresh, though the prices are higher than I expected, more like Whole Foods level prices. I thought going straight to the source would mean much lower prices, but what you lose in price, you definitely gain in freshness. For example, their strawberries were $5 per little green basket (three for $15), which comes out to about $5 a pound. At Costco, organic strawberries are $5.49 for 2 pounds, roughly $2.75 per pound. The giant seeded watermelons were $12.49 here, compared to $6.49 at Walmart. (Suggestions from a visitor) A couple of friendly suggestions that I think would be really helpful: It would be great if they posted online what fruit is in season and what will be at the stand, along with the prices. That way people can plan ahead and know when to make the drive when their favorite fruits are available. Also, there are no signs letting customers know they can go in the back. I only knew because I saw pictures on Yelp. Locals who've been here before probably already know, but as a first-timer, it looked like an employee-only area so I didn't go back there. A simple sign would be awesome, it would bring more people to the back to sit, eat, and enjoy the space since most fruit stands don't have that nice extra feature. Overall, worth visiting if you don't mind paying a bit more for freshness.

Remarkable Sandwiches, at a Reasonable Price!…read more I enjoyed my time at Zanotto's very much. I ordered a customizable sandwich at the deli and grabbed some Marianne's ice cream for dessert. The sandwich portions were incredibly generous, for only 12.99! The sandwiches are so big they could definitely split into two meals, which is even better! They also offer a meal deal where you get chips, a cookie, and a soda for 18.99. The sauces and vegetables on the sandwiches are amazing and flavorful. I thought the pickles and pesto mayonnaise were a remarkable combination. There's an outdoor patio area where you can enjoy your purchases. There's ample shade, and you will have no problem finding a seat. The sandwiches came out promptly. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to, especially for their dutch crunch bread!
