Farmer Joe's Marketplace

I’ve been coming to farmer joes for about 3 years now and I love it. Again everything with a lens, this place has great access to wine, and cheap local produce. If you’re looking for meat it’s a little pricey but pretty good quality. Packaged goods are definitely overpriced. There’s a great selection of Asian specific packaged goods which is pretty awesome. Wine selection is also bomber. Realize too because you’re getting pretty fresh organic produce, some of it has a shorter shelf life than Costco or Safeway. I love this store it’s pretty great as a main grocery store for the area.

Fruit is no good here, it’s very expensive the fruit is smoosh in the inside I thought the fruit was good and ripped absolutely not! And this fruit in this picture isn’t the only ones that’s smoosh in the inside. It is smoosh very sour and disgusting and they have the nerve to put organic labels on these fruits. Safeway probably have better fruit then this market has. Every thing looks fresh but when you bite in to it, it is dry, hard, sour, and smooshy! I spent over $40 on fruit in this store and the only thing that is ok are the low grade bananas. I don’t recommend this place at least not for fruits.

best deli EVER!!! The sandwich I had yesterday on my first visit was one of the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had ! so good. I went back today and tried their chicken bacon and avocado sandwich. Staff is Hella cool I got a great special order board. I mean just gourmet sandwiches at a really reasonable price I'm amazed. I'm gonna be a regular customer for sure and it feels like I'm having a healthier meal Blessings.

I regularly get spoiled meat from here, both locations. It’s generally not a huge issue other than it happens regularly. I just bring the spoiled food in with receipt and they exchange it. Today I brought in two T Bone steaks that were spoiled with receipt. I spoke to the first employee I saw in the front of the store and then she walked me to the meat counter for the exchange. I got new steaks and then got a rotisserie chicken. When I went to pay for he new food I was stopped by the woman I spoke with initially and was then told that she would not allow the exchange because it had been too long since I initially bought the food items. For me this was surprising but I’m not going back and forth. I used to shop here several times a week. I’ll go be Berkeley Bowl or Whole Foods from now on as I’ve NEVER gotten spoiled meat at either of those places and I think if I did they would make it right. Every person I know get spoiled meat and produce here most of whom are afraid to ask them to replace it because of experiences like mine. Beware of shopping here.

I’ve shopped here almost daily for years and have always appreciated the quality and convenience, which is why this was disappointing. A recent checkout interaction left me feeling dismissed and publicly embarrassed when a simple situation was handled in a way that felt unnecessarily abrupt and impersonal. As someone who supports local markets, being treated with basic courtesy and discretion matters. I’m sharing this because I still value this store and hope the customer experience can match the quality of the products. Regular customers are part of what keeps neighborhood markets strong, and feeling welcomed and respected goes a long way.
