    I ALWAYS go here for my chicken, beef, shrimp, pork and Tilamook cheese. They also have BBQ chicken, tri-tip, flank & skirt steak marinaded with a house marinade that will and can melt in your mouth.

    I probably shop every day at the Market. Meats are fresh and very good. Produce is excellent. I just like the convenience of shopping.

    Like the neighborhood grocery store from a bygone era, still alive and well in Alameda.

    This place has the best beer selection in Alameda. Lots of beers here you won't find anywhere else.

    Love this market. Scalise Bros. Meats is the best butcher in the Bay Area.

    Get the rosemary chicken & sous vide it at 145 degrees then grill at 700 for 3 minutes. Trust me, nothing better.

    Great food especially in produce and meat departments. Don't forget to pick up a pound of chocolate gummy bears and dark chocolate almonds.

    Shop for groceries here over Nob Hill - bit more expensive but far superior quality and selection.

    If you were coming here looking for cocktail wieners, you will be leaving empty handed. :(
