My favorite grocery when we visit our daughter. Their wine selection is curated and someone is usually around to help you choose. Their meat counter and cheese counter are both amazing. During my first visit a few years ago, I was shocked by the selection of feta. My town has two at the most. They must have had 5-6. I love getting fresh bread every day and finding at least 4-5 different kinds of fresh mushrooms in produce. Love this place.

What a wonderful find that continues strong many decades later. Imagine a nicely stocked little mom and pop shop with narrow aisles and every spare inch filled or stacked with something yummy. Then multiply that by 10 and add a great array of exotics of every sort both ethnic and unusual, and you've got the Piedmont grocery store. It really is worth at least a 15 minutes stop just to enjoy unique and often pleasantly surprising array of goods

Wide variety of brands and products for a small, neighborhood grocer. Love their produce most of all. I mean… look at these carrots

Huuuuuge fan because they supplied a pre cooked thanksgiving meal that absolutely rocked. It was delicious. The turkey was perfect. There was sooo much, it fed 12 with a ton of leftovers and wasn't even expensive?! How does this exist in the bay? Protect this place!

I come here periodically for specific items in their delivery section. I just recently their Caribbean spiced roasted chicken which was a whole chicken. It was so delicious. A whole chicken was 13.99 and lasts a few meals. Really nice flavor. I am picky about rotisserie and roasted chicken. I like Roti Roti but its more expensive and they run out a lot. And I haven't loved the chicken from whole foods or Safeway so I will definitely be back for that Caribbean spiced chicken. Thanks so much.

One of the best grocery stores in the East Bay. The butchers counter has to be seen to be believed. The cheese selection is incredible and the produce is amazing. I also love the salad and hot bar. A local institution.
