Arlington Market

** The following review reflects my experience DURING the shelter-in-place order currently in effect. ** It's the neighborhood market made more essential during this endless pandemic. It's not the closest one to me as it represents about an hour's walk if I was so motivated. I was motivated today to take a long winding walk on Arlington Blvd. and stopped by. It's a well-stocked, family-run store with most of the staples and a reasonable selection of produce (photo: https://bit.ly/2BW9Tfn). Unless you count the dog grooming business across the street, there isn't another business for miles around which may explain why there was no eagerness to please. Honestly there was no need as long as they can survive and provide sustenance to the local denizens.RELATED - Rambling in Richmond?

You gotta love the local neighborhood markets, especially one that's well stocked with anything you need and great prices. This one is up the hill from my parents house and it has always come thru when you need last minute items and don't want to drive across town to the big box stores. Great service and products and I will always patronize their small mom and pop stores. This one always carry a variety of beers which I love love love. Thank you to the owners for keeping the rotations and stocks available.

Five stars for the new screen, bright, sharp definition next to register so you can actually see what you're being charged for the items. Not that I mistrusted the staff but a lot of things have no prices on them and when you've picked up this special treat (Oh wow! They have xyz) and the next treat and the next and the two, three, four things you actually went in for, well now you can see the all your indulgences in a sharp column with the sum at the bottom. If you'd rather not know, then just look away.

Great little neighborhood corner store. Nothing fancy, but they have fresh baguettes & most random things that you may be missing when you're in a cooking project, etc. I'd much rather go here than Safeway and support a local family.

This is a cute little market, in a cute little area, that I don't visit much. I used to rent a room in the Berkeley hills and I used to drive past this spot regularly. I regret that now. I could have stopped by her on the way up the hill instead of driving to Solano Ave to shop for the occasional fruits or vegetables or other items that I needed. Now, when I'm in the area, which is only 2-3 times per year, usually to go to the Kensington Market, I'll stop by and see what I can purchase there.

Not only is this store amazingly packed with all the baking and cooking supplies I might need, but they have, on multiple occasions, given my elderly father a ride home when he has been unable to walk up the hill. We have made arrangements now, but the owners of this store are incredibly kind. The best.

I went to find shredded coconut and jasmine rice -- and they had precisely what we needed, and a fair price. The exterior of the building has been improved since the current photo showing here. They sell a range of beer and wine, fresh bread, chocolates, fruit and vegetables ...

Best coffee beans in town. They have a variety of local coffee beans roasters at a good cost.

This is the best neighborhood market! They have an incredible variety of quality products much of it organic, plus if there anything you need they are more than happy to get it for you! Makes living in this area worthwhile!

Great selection of items and very friendly customer service. Usually have fresh bread on hand, good coffee choices, excellent selection of beverages. Definitely one of the best markets of this kind in the east bay. Have a personal touch to their service and always extremely helpful.
