Samovar Store

Samovar Store was hidden behind Costco in Mountain View. They had the viral cold, smoked mackerel I've been looking for. I also found lots of goodies such as the Russian cheesecakes and various flavors, candies, caviar, and more. I'll be coming back to try more new foods! The owner was super helpful and friendly. They clearly have a "regular" crowd as everyone in the store was eager to help me and teach me about their culture! Very welcoming.

Great store for European and Slavic products! They have a large selection that caters to diverse tastes. Highly recommend!

The home made food is delicious. We love the fact that it's ready to go in containers. The store is quite cozy and packed with a little bit of everything. The service is always wonderful. They are very helpful and nice. Alex and the staff are amazing! If you pay by cash you will receive a discount. Plenty of parking in their lot. A hidden gem in this area.

I recently visited Samovar and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! The store had a wide range of European products that I couldn't find anywhere else in the area. From fresh produce to packaged goods, the selection was outstanding.The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they were happy to assist me with any questions I had.There is a rack with Russian books! We moved from Sacramento where we have been to so many European grocery stores but none of them had books. Also, there is a little pharmaceutical section. Overall, I would highly recommend Samovar to anyone looking for an European products.

What a delight! This is a densely packed, charming international grocery store offering a mix of middle eastern and European specialty items, especially Eastern European foods. In addition to imported items, they sell a variety of house made items (eg hot Piroshki) and house made frozen dumplings. Compared to similar international markets nearby, Samovar has a wider selection of smoked and pickled fish, as well as a sizable selection of Russian language gifts (eg children's books, toys, etc). This is a fun spot to pursue, and if you point to a few items in the hot case for a post-shopping snack, you will not be disappointed!

Samovar has a fantastic variety of Eastern European foods. The staff is fantastic and friendly!

This is a nice little Eastern European grocery store. I might've passed by this place like a million times but never had a chance to go inside until now. They have a little bit of everything in here starting from meats, cheese, dairy products to pickled veggies, seafood, pastries, bread, candy, ice-cream and even books.They also have meat pies and other homemade food which is awesome. The owner was very nice and offered to help translate ingredients of stuff that we couldn't understand. Very helpful. Lots of good stuff, will definitely come back here.

A fascinating east European grocery store with a wide variety of frozen, pre-packaged and fresh food items and also books ! Take a walk around and see what you like and try it out . I tried a strawberry chocolate cheesecake ice cream from Latvia which was delicious and not too sweet. Also liked the Georgian cheese pastry - a slightly sour soft cheese baked in a flaky puff pastry. The potato pastry (Russian) was also nice and everything was warm and fresh.Some items were halal. Keen to visit again and try other items in this simple, unassuming store. The owners and workers are very friendly and answer any questions you may have.

Our family loves coming to your store. Great choice. It's nice to see that you are changing for the better. Good luck! Your regular customers.

There are all products, as in my country, especially I liked the showcase with cottage cheese, who miss their products highly recommended.
