Pleasant Hill Market

Pleasant Hill Road is a great way to get to avoid freeway traffic during rush hour. I passed the store many-​many times and finally decided to stop and see what they offered.
The produce looked wonderful, everything looked fresh and there was a nice selection of produce. The luscious looking fruit and vegetables were pricey. I did not see anything saying that the produce was organic; the window did advertise local produce. The Brussels sprouts that I brought home tasted great.
I like to support local independent business so I will come here again.

Pleasant Hill Market is a mini-​gourmet foods market. didn’t check out the groceries, just the beers, micorbrew to be exact. small, random selection, all reasonably priced.
brew: «talon extra select: double ipa» (6.39) 10% alc.
–smooth with a punch, no aftertaste like gravity beers.
drips:
–small parking lot nearby.

Great corner market for affordable produce!
I have noticed the strawberries are overly ripe here and only last a day or two. Also, I found some expired croutons here. I always check non produce expiration dates here now. Minus one star for this.

Alway come here to get fresh fruit for mom all get so fruit Be for going home for the weekend love this place an they Kwon me because hey Kwon my mom an mom till to pack up the fruit one day Be for I come home try it out if I come over to the east Bay nice fresh fruit will to all of u be safe out they an injoy your Sunday I all

I’m sorry to say it, but this place is not what it was when the brothers first took it over. The prices are higher and the selection is not as good. When I was there the other day there were large display areas that were bare of produce (empty) and gave the impression that this place is hurting. Hopefully the meat market will perk things up when it opens next door.

I really do love this place and it has so much more potential that I hope it reaches someday soon! I love the idea of supporting local and building community however I WISH they had organic produce!!! I hope that the meat market they are opening next door will sell organic, quality meats and have an attractive appeal to it.

Another great LOCAL business, kittycorner from Big Dave’s Bikes. I would go there just for the locally grown walnuts & local honey, but suffice it to say that I’m never disappointed in the quality of the produce, and the high standard of customer service here.

My husband and I love walking down to the corner market for groceries! Supporting a local business is always nice. Their produce prices can’t be beat, and they also have specialty items like kimchi and kefir.
Service is great, staff is always very friendly. Can’t be beat!

A great local produce market. Go local!

I love this place, it like going to a farmers market. Or a very small scale of something in pikes market in Seattle.
I just wish they had more organic product. I am very thankful for what the brothers are doing, keep up the great customer service and work.

An Absolute Gem
I love this market. Small, jewel like operation. Superb produce; immaculate; nice, helpful. They don’t carry meat as a rule (prepackaged, but upscale sausage is about it.) When making a fine dinner this is a must. I swing by here to get the produce then to Lunardi’s to get the meat or fish. The store is small and occasionally can get claustrophobic, but the personnel are so nice and the merchandise is so nice that no one gets crabby. They typically have an array of local olive oils and honey, when tomatoes are in season they are amazing. Fair to inexpensive prices (definitely beats Lunardi’s for produce; probably less expensive than Safeway but infinitely better and shopping here you aren’t donating to the local Republican Party like you do shopping at Safeway.) They have wine, but a modest array and not great but that’s not why you come here. During late summer they never seem to run out of fresh basil. Great huge bags of pre-​peeled garlic. Did I mention that I love this place? You won’t be able to find much in the way of specialty items for Pan-​Asian cooking (I believe the owners are Latino; pretty much everything is here for Mexican dishes.) Warm, and unpretentious. Anywhere else this would be considered the upscale green grocer.

Great Selection of produce, easy layout of the store. Plenty of health canned items as well!

A great local market that has great produce and most other staples. I can usually get away with not going to Safeway or Lunardi’s.

Terrific produce at great prices! The quality of the lettuce is always better than Safeway at a lesser price. That pretty much holds true throughout the store.
I also like to buy eggs, local/​organic, cheeses, Kefir. Today they had a bin of oranges for .39/​lb! A good deal! Owners are very nice too. We are lucky to have them here in Pleasant Hill!

This market has a great selection of produce and it is reasonably priced. Better than Safeway/Lucky’s and cheaper than the farmers market. Help support local business!

Great mom and pop kind of feel. Fresh, local, and I can get in and out of there fast!
I like browsing the olive oils and other gourmet-​ish items too.

I would do all of my shopping here if I was a bachelor. Seriously, I shop here a lot when it is my turn to get the groceries. Milk, Bread, Olive Oil, Butter, tortillas, Fruits Vegetables… Did I mention they carry a great coffee from a small roster called Mother lode…
The only thing I don’t get here are my meats because they don’t carry any yet, but in a pinch I will pick up some sausages. I recently discovered their wine selection and found some good Italian and Argentine wines. So between that and the Drakes beer I am good to go.
Actually, my only one minor complaint is I wish they carried Sapporo, Guinness and a good Pilsner but their micro beers are great.
This store pleases me in so many ways. The owners and staff are very friendly. It is not a chain, and the staple items they carry appeal to my inner Euro-​trash.
This little store is everything a grocer should be. I love it so much I often catch myself singing Jonathan Richman’s «Corner Store» when I am thinking about shopping there.

This place is one of those places you drive by and say «Oooo I should stop there.» Then you keep driving by and forget. Then like two weeks later you’re in the neighborhood… aaagaaiin and you say the same thing.
I finally stopped this time. I’m glad I did. I found everything plus more than I really wanted.
Prices are ok, not farmers market type prices but its worth it. You get the freshness and major variety.
I got more than veggies and fruit. I also loaded up on Milk and Ice Cream. Those items are more expensive than a chain grocery store but its all local dairy products.
At the counter they have a selection of local bakery items and I got a facasia pizza that was so gooood. The best Ive had. I cant remember what the bakery is called, sorry.
As I was walking out I saw a sign up in the window in the unit next to the store that said Meat Shop and Deli opening. I have a secret dream of being one of those 1950’s wives who goes to the butcher to load up on my weekly meat supply. Yes, in this fantasy I’m dressed like Lucille Ball, but that’s another story.
Looking forward to the Butcher Shop. Ill be the first in line.

Ever since this Texan moved herself to Granola-​country, USA, I’ve slowly become more aware of locally-​grown and organic foods (Food, Inc. also kinda pushes one into Granoladom). I drove by this place on accident and decided to come back and give this place a shot.
Mom-​and-​pop written all over it, this cute little corner shop sells locally-​grown vegetables at a fraction of grocery store prices. Everything is fresh and you can get most of what you need here and not feel guilty about buying crap food you know you’re going to regret later. People working here are super-​friendly and very helpful. My only bone to pick with this place is that it’s not down the street from me. WHY?
The parking lot is super-​tiny (at least the one right off the street), so drivers beware!

This place is great! Small, local stuff, prices are fantastic. They carry Kombucha, which makes me happy. The people who work there are really friendly and remember you! The produce is yummy, the parking is tricky, but this is a win-​win.
