Top 5 Grocery in Alameda County

5427 Telegraph Ave d3, Oakland, CA 94609, United States

“Really nice bakery. If you need a bakery that caters to most common allergens and common dietary needs, then this is the place for you. Staff here are great and the range of products is plentiful. Great selection of fresh, packaged and frozen desserts and pastries. Queues can form later in the day so coming earlier is definitely better. Would happily return to get more treats in the future.”

2501 Monarch St, Alameda, CA 94501, United States

“Awesome spot! Huge seating inside and outside. Awesome view of the city. Downside for me...no Hazy IPAs :/ still able to find one that was ok to drink. Doggies allowed. There are also a few food vendors available. Great spot for big crowds, but also date vibes too. Parking lot available. Even when it seemed super busy, you should still be able to find a spot in their lot.”

“I see the Ghirardelli’s Livermore outlet is closed. Tried this place and you get all items plus more options in clearance. Buy 2 get 1 80packet chocolate bag.”

3719 MacArthur Blvd, Oakland, CA 94619, United States

“Very cute diner experience! Great menu with good options. The wait was supposed to be 30-40 minutes for a table but we got seated in 15-20ish. The service was super lovely and the suggestions of the waitstaff was very helpful in making a breakfast choice. Highly recommend this place the three dishes we got were amazing! Only room for improvement was the coffee but Highwire tends to be more acidic so no real big complaint.”

3000 38th Ave, Oakland, CA 94619, United States

“These donuts are delicious!! A local in line suggested a few I wouldn’t have otherwise tried including the o.m.j., the lemon, and the Apple fritter… and these ended up being our favorites!! Everything we tried was delicious, the cronuts, the cream filled maple, and the minis. We will definitely go back when we are in the area! The iced coffee was reasonably priced and hit the spot too.”

2629 Ashby Ave, Berkeley, CA 94704, United States

“One of the best chocolates I've had, ever! Flavors that blend perfectly that you have now heard or thought of, and taste absolutely perfect and delicious!”

1830 Fourth St, Berkeley, CA 94710, United States

“Stopped by for lunch on Labor Day and they were able to easily accommodate us as a group of 3. The restaurant is classy and inviting with a great outdoor area. Every single thing we ate was wonderful save for the miso Caesar salad being good but unexciting. I didn’t see a la carte sushi but the rolls were top notch. It’s a place I would easily return to.”

5300 Claremont Ave, Oakland, CA 94618, United States

“We love shopping at this farmer's market on Sunday morning. There is an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables. The vendors are friendly, and the prices are reasonable.”

6323 College Ave, Oakland, CA 94618, United States

“Kind of similar to the cheeseboard, but when you walk in and see the little cabinet with the fruit tarts in it, something tells you that this is very special in its own way. The variety is incredible. Not just traditional French things as the name implies, but also very American at the same time with favorites of mine like scones, artisan bread, cookies and cakes. I can easily imagine that you could have a different item for a month, if not 5 to 6 weeks. Really cute outdoor seating as well if you enjoy this sunshine and people watching. This really is a lovely part of town if you have a free afternoon.”

2016 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley, CA 94704, United States

“Pizza was good and service was great! Kind of expensive for the size of the pizza, however—it’s basically the size of a personal pizza for $20.”

5622 Martin Luther King Jr Way, Oakland, CA 94609, United States

“Desserts are extremely delicious and I love the history of the historical site”

311 Oak St STE C3, Oakland, CA 94607, United States

“Fabulously equipped for deli and marketplace needs. Street parking. Called in early for a large group order to beat the crowds and they were ready upon arrival. They have sandwiches, bahn mi, burgers, fries, curly fries, onion rings, salads, baked good, beer, deli sides, soups, won ton soup, chips, coffee, ice cream and more.”

5524 Thornton Ave #3824, Newark, CA 94560, United States

“I just came in about 30 minutes ago when I got to the cash register I was greeted like I shouldn't be there. I asked for certain things to be noted about my burritos and if I wasn't paying attention, they would have given me My order wrong. So they threw it away and they almost did it again If I wasn't watching closely this is no way your treat a paying customer. If I could, I would give this place 0 stars cause they do not deserve anything more than that with that type of service.”

39494 Fremont Blvd, Fremont, CA 94538, United States

“Had to try this place for the first time based on reviews, and I was not disappointed!! Ordered 2 al pastor super burritos and 2 al pastor tacos with a horchata to wash everything down! Everything was delicious! The cooks topped the tacos generously with meat!! I would highly recommend anyone to try this place out. They have a sauce bar that you can help yourself to also, which is a major plus for taco establishments compared to others who charge .50 for extra cups of sauce.”

7370 San Ramon Rd, Dublin, CA 94568, United States

“I have been at this joint multiple times and each time I've really enjoyed their selection of beers and food menu items. You can never go wrong with their appetizers menu, including buffalo wings with bone, Ahi tuna nachos, quesadillas and regular nachos. Whether you like an IPA with extra hops or a light Pilsner, they have it all. Summertime sitting outdoors is excellent.”

43472 Grimmer Blvd, Fremont, CA 94538, United States

“Kakuna is home to the BIGGEST sushi rolls. Each time I go I am never disappointed and the price is so good i’ve never been to a sushi store with prices as low as this, while maintaining a pretty good quality. The staff are extremely kind and help create a nice atmosphere. The only thing that I would take note of before going is that there is very limited seating, so I usually just get togo. I wouldn’t suggest this place if you are looking for a fancy sit down place, but more of a chill hangout with friends. Truly my go to spot for sushi now :)”

1096 Dwight Way #1094, Berkeley, CA 94710, United States

“Best thai food in East Bay. Love the green curry Great asparagus and prawns with crispy shallot. But beware, it is addictive! I had my first meal there the day they opened, maybe 9 or 10 years ago now.”

5356 College Ave, Oakland, CA 94618, United States

Restaurant is super kid friendly , got us a room in the back where kids could run around. food was good (def get the buratta) and pizza was also tasty. drinks were 💯 restaurant was pricey for the food but id say it's worth it - def make reservations this place gets busy!!”

“An impressive array of vegan options (3.5/5 Green Stars) Tigerlily opened in 2015 with Chef Joel Lamica (former chef of the Ramen Shop in Rockridge) running the kitchen, but has new management since 2019. I’ve been twice – once in the good old pre-lockdown days, before the management changed, and then a couple of months ago. And I have to say, I really enjoyed the food both times. Congrats to the new management for maintaining standards. They could do a better job at providing more info on their website, though. The original team favored organic ingredients but that’s not clear anymore. They do serve a lot of vegan dishes, so thumbs up for that. We had two of my standard Indian dishes – veggie samosas and veggie korma. Tigerlily’s versions of these two were possibly the best (samosa) or among the best (korma) that I’ve ever had. This is significant, given that I’ve had many samosas and kormas in my time. The veggie korma ($21.50) includes rice and garlic naan and has a good balance of spice, heat, creaminess, and tasty veggies. The veggie samosas (delicious pastry, not greasy, very filling) are normally $10 but note that both korma and samosas are on the happy hour menu, so avail of that if you can (4:30 to 5:30 every day). We also had the Sesame Avocado Flatbread ($13.50), made with fennel seed, turmeric, sprouts, parmesan & chili oil. Staff members were very friendly and I highly recommend trying it out during happy hour while it’s not too busy. I’m giving Tigerlily 3.5 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, for these reasons: • Even though there are several meat dishes, I was impressed by how much of the menu is not just vegetarian but vegan. Adopting a plant-based diet is the top thing you can do to mitigate climate change and deforestation, besides avoiding animal cruelty and the negative impact of the meat industry on society. • Of course, your own footprint will depend on what you order, from vegan dishes at one end of the scale and lamb dishes at the other end. Like beef, lamb has one of the highest carbon footprints of our food options. • If Tigerlily wanted to step up and improve on its social and environmental impact then switching from lamb to a vegan substitute would be the most effective steps. • More information on food sourcing should be provided. • Local beer is available on draft, mitigating packaging and transportation impacts.”
