Foothill Produce

High marks due to wide variety and reasonable prices.Known for fruit and veggies but carries lots more: cheese/dairy, baked goods, spices, ethnic food -- and much more. It's a small speciality store next door to the one of the best speciality stores: Trader Joe's.I quibble a bit as I regularly find berries that are moldy and veggies with soft spots. Some yelpers complain about the staff. They can be perfunctory but I've never seen them be rude. Base your own groceries to speed things up.

They import produce from all around the world, which is such a nice experience to see the unusual items, a bunch of fresh vegetables, arugula, and spinach they sell by the way, which I find very cool, the okra purchased was long crispy and delicious. I haven't found anything similar to it in the Bay Area.

Always great customer service at Foothill Produce. I have been buying fresh veggies and fruits at this store since it opened. The customer service is second to none. Anahi, (who always greets with a beautiful smile) plus Jose and Shinafi (Alejandro) are always quite a delight to deal with. If you have a question, just ask. The friendly staff will point you in the right direction. From avocados to zucchini's, Foothill Produce is always on hit. Keep up the good work and thank you, I'll be back.Reynaldo H.

HOLY MOLY!!! What a treasure trove of produce and at great prices!! We found giant heads of broccoli for $0.49/lb!! There is no shortage of variety in produce here, it reminds me of a Berkeley Bowl "light" with a lot of international goods. There must have been 10 variety of apples and pears, lots of mushrooms and potatoes too! I was able to find quite a few accidentally vegan cookies and biscuits which was a lovely surprise! Also, was able to find 100% rye bread, which is not easy to find!It can be a bit cramped in here, so be ready to work your forearms carrying around a heavy basket rather than pushing a cart. I can't wait until my next visit!If you're in the area for Trader Joe's, it might be helpful to stop here first before going there. You can cover a lot of your produce purchases here first!

Great local run grocer and prices are so reasonable. Especially because there is a TJ's next door you can compare these prices Foothill Produce is locally sourcing and the mangoes, strawberries, veggies were priced well.Strawberries pack for $1.29, kiwis for $0.79 each, red and green grapes $1 a pound, kale bunches for $2. Tasted great - probably won't store for more than 3-5 days.Might have to shuffle around to find produce without dents/blemishes, squished portions but overall a great place

I heard this was like the sister store to Felipe's in Sunnyvale and it sure feels that way! The best prices on produce with a pretty wide range of options. It's also right next to trader Joe's so I can grab everything I need in one stop.

This is my go-to place for getting fresh produce at an incredibly decent price. It is definitely not your average suburban supermarket, but rather a relatively smaller store that carries ALL of your produce essentials. Since it is a smaller store, you don't need to spend a ton of time picking up your weekly groceries--I'm always in and out of there within 15-20 minutes. The staff is always kind and greets their customers with a smile (pre-pandemic when we could see smiles) and a friendly wave! They leave out sanitizer spray bottles and paper towels outside to wipe down your cart before using it, which I appreciate. Furthermore, there is an acrylic barrier between the cashier and the customer for extra protection.

Wow- wish I lived closer. This little GEM right by 280 offers a HUGE variety of produce and specialty foods (I love that part) at very reasonable prices. I have to say how much I appreciate that last point considering the neighborhood they're in where they could easily be jacking up their prices. They've also got the largest eggplant and cosmic apples I've ever seen. Generally the quality of the produce is excellent although i did get some cherries that were a bit overripe once. It's very convenient to have a Trader Joes right next door too.

It's a hit or miss. Price is always great tho the quality of produce ranges from poor / ROTTEN to good. Making multiple grocery stops to get acceptable/good produces is not a good use to time.

Great prices, great variety, fresh produce - especially the veggies! - .... When shopping for delicate fruit [apples, peaches, etc.], you might have to watch out for the occasional bruises, but the vegetables are most always super good and super fresh. Also many specialty/international veggies that you might not find at the ordinary supermarket. Awesome people too! I accidentally dropped my ID on the floor in there once while shopping, and the clerk chased me down in the parking lot to return it before I got away.There is also quite a selection of packaged food imported from Israel, Russia, Europe, etc.Bottom line: go there; it's amazing.
