Alameda Natural Grocery is the hippest place to shop for groceries in Alameda. In fact, some peeps come from the mainland to shop there.As I entered the store from their parking lot, on the left was a bulletin board with information about music and children. On the right, there was a bakery display case. I couldnt resist getting a large crispy breadstick with seeds, jalapeno and cheese. I also got some  chocolate chip, molasses, and oatmeal cookies--they were so delicious I almost ate them all before getting back in my car.They have a fresh fish and meat market where there is a butcher to make those special cuts of meat. Also, the animal products come from animals that are raised humanely. You can actually smell the fish before you buy (who wants to buy old stinky fish?) They have a wide variety of foods for vegans, and people on special diets, too. They steer away from chemically processed foods, including GMO. They have a beautiful selection of organic fruits and vegetables including the largest selection of fresh mushrooms I have seen in the East Bay.They carry just about everything you would expect for a natural food store. Something that surprised me located above their large selection of chocolate bars was some really beautiful large woven baskets. You can see them in my photos.I love coming to this store!

I was having trouble figuring out the proper items I needed in the wellness department and the store associate named Georgia was BEYOND helpful. She was extremely knowledgable on all of the products, friendly, and so eager to help me in figuring out what I was needing. I felt confident in all of my choices thanks to her, so thanks Georgia!

Lots of delish things, if you have the dosh. Alamedas Whole Foods/Berkeley Bowl. A bit stronger on things neurotic white people eat than on global food celebration but thats like my opinion.

Nice store to shop. Theres a butcher shop. They also have stalls that sell hot food.

I liked this Market, employees treat customers good no matter the nationality, I will definitely come back here😁❤️

I love that this establishment exists. They stock such a huge variety of everything in such a small space without it feeling cramped or claustrophobic. I love that I dont need to go to Whole Paycheck or Berkeley Bowl to get organic/non GMO food, body care, supplements, cosmetics, PPE, or sustainable housewares. Everything is always fresh, easy to access, and theres always something new to check out plus the employees are knowledgeable and friendly.That have rooftop beehives and pre-pandemic they would take a frame from the hive and customers could sample the honey straight from the comb, wax and all! They also sell their honey so try to snag a jar if you see it on the shelf. Such a great store.

Small, but wonderful grocery store, with a few fast food vendors located inside.

The Alameda Natural Grocery is an amazing market, also famous for keeping beehives on the rooftop. The classic old Ford dealership building is home to this market and several other smaller shops complementary of the grocery store.The people were friendly and very helpful. It was inspiring to see people as busy as their bees, stocking shelves as quickly as shoppers were gathering produce and more. ;)

Yes, thank you for being a smaller organic grocery store! Thank you for beautiful fresh fruit and good prices.

Small, very clean, good stock of organic produce, other natural grocery products, many vegan, gluten free, fair trade. Friendly helpful courteous personnel. Part of Alameda marketplace. Free parking lot with paid on street parking also available.

A great market for high quality items, with a particularly good meat department, and one that local restaurant tours shop at for their aged meat selections. the food at the store is a little more expensive, and not really for the budget minded. It is however super high quality, and the people that work at the store are very nice

Love this market so much. Excellent staff. Great variety of organic products. Cool market place, and we live the grocery. Lots of vegan options and great craft beer selection. They carry Dr Hops Kombucha Beer.

Great bakery, best bread for entertaining and occasions, rarely a line when Ive been, easy place to get in and out.

Small, quality, organic grocery store. Good selection of meats. The marketplace has a tiny sushi bar, bakery, & deli. The deli includes premade salads, Mac n cheese, & 3 types of sandwich, also premade (with the exception of the chicken bon oui). They don’t make any fresh chicken salad sandwiches after they sell out of the premade ones. However, they do make the chicken bon oui. I’m not sure what takes so long to prepare the chicken bon oui sandwich. 4 customers received fresh tossed salads before I got 2 chicken sandwiches. The chicken is already chopped into cubes, and simply scooped out of a container. The only other ingredient on the sandwich is an overly oily coleslaw, so adding those 2 ingredients in a bread roll seems like a fairly swift task. I would have given the bakery rave reviews of the bread, if the slaw oil hadn’t soaked into most of it. Quite frankly, I paid way too much money and waited far too long for probably the worst sandwich of my life. Other than that, the staff was friendly.

A great selection of breads, wines, cheese, meat, vegetables... you name it! You will pay for it but good quality stuff.

Such a cute little grocery store tucked in the Marketplace with other fun food shops. Their selection isnt super big and can be a little pricey compared to other places (ie. Farmer Joes). The staff is always very friendly, it makes grocery trips that much better.

Nice store, reasonable prices for organic produce. Limited selection, but high quality. All steps were taken for safety during Covid-19.

Im so sorry. I love the complex. My phone took it upon itself to do a review while I was waiting for my daughter. We get our lunch or dinner there almost every day when we work in Alameda

Pricey but a decent variety of goods.

Great food 👍

Fantastic sandwiches & good coffee. Outside seating. Thumbs up.

Very good and nice place to do grocery shopping.Nice and clear place, they have niece costume service.

Lots of healthy choices in one location. Organic market, seafood, meats, bakery, sushi, organic salads, coffee.

Safety precautions are fast. Feel good bakery delicious breads.

Love this place. Fresh, clean, well stocked and nice employees. I usually buy more than I went in for.

Great fresh produce. Organic products were well organized. Staffs were very friendly and approachable. Prices were fair and it was always clean.

Oh my goodness! So not use to good customer service like this store. Mark in produce is full of smiles and valuable information. I walked down two aisles and employees greeted me with genuine smiles and offerings of service. I was pleasantly delighted. Store offers a lot of organic options. I will definitely return. Whole Foods has competition.

Best sushi so far on the island!

Fresh food, cleanliness, courtesy and very good prices. Workers are very pleasant and you never have to wait long for anything .

This is my favorite grocery store . The people are wonderful . The food is fresh. They are very sensitive to current health issues of pandemic

Love the Chicken pot pies from the deli!

I got my Fairyella Pure Pops, did you get yours?

Great butcher, bakery and specialty food stores. Super nice coffee shop with about a million flavors of Italian soda syrups.

We were in the area so went in there. & i loved it. I agree prices were a bit high but this place had great stuff. All organic and fresh, healthy and whatever we bought it was like really good quality. I thought the staff was Friendly at least whoever i interacted with was nice and helpful.

We sometimes go here exclusively for a good selection of produce, bulk bins and milk in refundable glass bottles. Everything else is way too expensive. Also lots of products are packaged in plastic just like Trader Joes or any other grocery store, but sold at a much higher price.

Great fresh produce. Organic products were well organized. Staffs were very friendly and approachable. Prices were fair and it was always clean.

Great

Amazing selection.

Nice place to go shopping and fair price ok

This is an established and decent supermarket. They got all that I need. Friendly owner always present and very helpful. employees are prompt.

The Staff is amazing! Helpful, caring and everything we need during these difficult times.👏👏👏👏👏

As a grocery store, its OK - their fruit and veggies are good quality, but prices are very high. For anything packaged, Im recommend going elsewhere.The main draw of this place is the shops inside - they have a bakery, a butchers counter, and a cheese & wine shop. All three are high priced, but excellent quality; the bakery in particular does delicious loaves of bread, and they have a great variety.Note that the bakery has coffee and an espresso machine, but dont waste your time, its not very good. At the other end of the store is a coffee shop which is much, much better. If youre looking for some sort of breakfast item like a croissant or pastry, get that at the bakery and get coffee at the Beanery.

Fast service, yummy treats at the bakery

Real milk! With cream on top.

Good for organic and natural products. Good for cheese, meats, seafood and baked goods.

This place is amazing! They even have raw milk! The prices are a bit high but considering the quality of their products its totally understandable. I loved it!

If I had unlimited funds I would shop here for pretty much everything I needed. The open air market with a decent bulk section, decent produce, decent spices, and a great varied milk/dairy section as well as plenty of veggie options and labeled locally produced food makes this a place to lust after.I cant afford to make this my everyday shopping venue - yet - but maybe someday. The staff has always been friendly. Park street is great and this is a vital part of why it is a vibrant area.

Love this place!!! The butcher is fantastic and the bakery has breads and cakes that are to die for! Not to mention the normal market section has a big display case full of CBD!

Fresh veggies sanitation station social distancing

Theres something promising, even inspiring, about walking the aisles of the Alameda Natural Grocery. Always an interesting selection of products, from the dark chocolates to the spices, from the fresh fruits and veggies to the canned alternatives. All the coffee beans.Theres something grounding about seeing the prices; Im frequently stopped short midway through reaching for something by the vanity or convenience margin added. Fresh, organic, and even exotic items are available everywhere, at competitive prices, so the ANG needs to step up their game.Theres great possibility here, but without the prices to match. Ill keep returning, getting those things which just cant be found elsewhere in the area, but itll take a lot to make ANG my first shopping stop.

This small grocery store is amazing and a favorite in Alameda. The produce, bulk items, beer selection, cold items and freezer areas are all awesome. Best of all you can get in and out in under 15 minutes!

Heafty prices but its alameda so you pay for not having to go to far. Awesome selection. Good stuff.

High quality products. Nice store layout.

Very willing-to-help staff is knowledgeable about products they carry. Do get a receipt though as I purchased nori without checking the source which was China. I dont want to eat Chinese-made foods so my mistake--I will try to return...will see how it turns out.

If you love the feel of a European grocery, you will love this market. Great butcher, baker, and other vendors inside.

Best produce to choose from. While you are there, there are some nice restaurants to have lunch or dinner.

Cashier named Tarryn was rude. Chatting with another employee while I was waiting in front of her. Did not apologize for having me wait. And when I asked a question she gave me a very sassy attitude while answering with sarcasm.

Nice selection of quality organic vegetables and fruit.

Nice variety of foods, supplements, and miscellaneous. Plus helpful people and friendly treatment. Such a blessing.

Love this store. Small but great selections with other vendors in the building offering wine, cheese, sushi, bakery, and butcher products.

Love greens n grains

Great place. Friendly staff, good selection of groceries. One caveat: they really only have organic items, so no cake flour or other items that are not available as organic.

Great butcher shop in here!!

Beautiful, clean environment, fresh produce . Excellent products, very friendly people.

Excellent Help at this store.

Good natural food store. Prices are often slightly high, but worth it for the convenience and friendly quick service.

I love this place is small but it has a good variety of products, it is expensive but the service is excellent.

Excellent organic store. Employees very helpful

Nice little market in Alameda

Great local grocery store with excellently curated grocery selections.

Natural, sustainable grocery. Very nice store in nice area

This place is pricey, otherwise I d give it 5. They have excellent vitamins and supplements, small but varied and high quality fruits and vegetables, meh for meat and cheese, and many nice little things for housecleaning.

This place has an excellent selection of chocolate, and the best garlic cheese curds ever.

A food-court style Shopping Center focusing on local, natural and organic foods, prepared, to-go and groceries.

Great!

Great local market. Hope it doesnt get eaten up by Safeways.

It has everything!

Great supplements staff. Knowledgeable and generous with sharing their knowledge.

Well stocked clean with a large selection of organic fare and natural heath care products.

Awesome they have everything

Great selection! Wines,deli,cheeses, meats awesome!!!

Excellent selection and the Beauty Dept is fantastic!!!! Highly highly recommend.

I loved this place because they make delicious sandwichs

Wonderful for all your organic foods, etc.

Good Stuff n lotsa hot boys there

I was expecting a lot more based on the reviews, but the prices, selection and services all left more to be desired. The produce that we did buy was organic but besides that over-hyped selling point it was all small, lacked flavor (almost all of the fruits) and very limited in selection. During the check-out, the guy working the register REALLY seemed like he didnt want to be there. I wont be going back here.

Great option for local and organic produce, dairy, bulk bin, and fresh convenience foods (hummous, salsa, quality pizzas and tamales).

Bought a custom cake from the bakery... Its was spectacular.

Tha bakery tho!

A little overpriced but good food and supplies

Lots of healthy choices, prices are too high for some stuff. Great collection of vitamins.

Great butcher, excellent produce, nice wine selection!

Great place!

It is a great place to get local food

The market has become dirtier in the past year and the staff definitely has the hipster attitude about evrrything, including the customers. Will be going to Dans Produce for a while.

Glad alameda has this place. Simple, fresh, and local

Their soup bar is my favorite

Excellent local natural food source

Best grocery everrrrr

Love this place.
