A local favorite, this country feeling market with fresh produce, and many esoteric offerings, a deli counter, and The Terrace Cafe, and the Broadway Terrace Nursery, all nestled together in the Oakland hills. A great place to linger on your day off, to have a lovely lunch, or your favorite espresso drink, pick up a gift, or new piece for your home, or a get together. Then explore the market, and drift over to the nursery to find your new house plant, succulents, or recreate your yard!

Good selection. Great quality. Well stocked and well kept. A little on the pricey side. You get that throwback to the old grocery store shopping experience.

This quaint little market is in an unknown area of Oakland. They have an excellent and diverse selection of pastries, produce, beverages, deli, packaged goods and pretty much anything you could need. The prices are high, but the location is a bit obscure so it is kind of a funny little place. Parking is super easy, they have a lot of spaces right outside. They also have four tables to sit out should you choose to sit outside and enjoy something you purchased.

Nice staff and very good selection of local treats, and at surprisingly competitive prices (I expect a small store in Piedmont to be extra spendy).My only warning is dont get the BBQ ribs. My standards are high, but I can confirm that they were not good by any standard.

We have been in the neighborhood for 50 years, and Village Market is one of our favorite markets. Lots of yummy stuff. Most of the staff are awesome, but a couple of checkers dont make me feel welcome...

I’m a Doordash driver, I got a delivery to this grocery store and they left me a very generous tip; of which I used some to buy some groceries in this beautiful store! Not only everything looks delicious and fresh but the staff is amazingly nice and helpful, the manager I think his name is Keith was so sweet and kind, loved my experience here and so grateful! Thank you 🙏💕

Friendly staff for the most part. Lots of great stuff. If you visit Hot Bar do it early in the day. Its not replenished enough & food gets over cooked from sitting. I made that mistake twice & had to throw it out..and its NOT cheap! Everything though is WAY over priced. Expect to pay 2 1/2 times more then any other market. Also, 3 times now Ive purchased out dated food!!! Watch out for there pre made & packed freshsupposedly fesh foods! Sandwiches in particular.

This market has excellent fresh fruit and meat. There is a salad bar as well.All theselections are high quality.Staff helpful and pleasant.My only caveat is that it is expensive....perhaps because they are located in a high rent district.Not a place to buy ordinary staples but for special occasions it is perfect.

I am happy to have the Village Market: they have a bunch of hard-to-find items in their compact shop: hot soups and other ready-to-eat items; fresh BBQ on the weekend; a British foods section; Propane gas exchange; organic produce; butcher; tasty baked goods. Their prices are higher but so is the quality. The staff is friendly. They often have 10-20¢ mini avocados.

Review №46

Village Market surprised me in two ways the first time I shopped there. The first: I was amazed at the quality of foods and meats available there. I had no idea they would carry such quality like grass fed and organic everything! The second surprise: it is definitely more expensive than Whole Foods. The part that keeps me coming back is the service. I am hoping the extra money we spend there goes to the workers because they are worth it.

Village Market in the Broadway Terrace neighborhood is so amazing for a small market. You walk in to samples galore, several different types of cheeses and crackers, guacamole, several salsas and the tortilla chip of the day....sometimes even a locally made cake or two. Seriously, one of the best local produce markets in Oakland and on weekends, a bbq including pork ribs, tri tip and chicken. Worth the trip from anywhere in Oakland, vote with your fork and buy local at Village Market!

Review №53

This company is the worst place I ever worked for. Management are rude and seem to treat you nice, but behind your back they are talking about you. The owner is very special and hired me just for the holidays after hoildays were over he fired me without giving me a reason. I think it was very unethical and very unprofessional of him to do that. Also some of his employees that been there for a very long time are stealing from him, but yet he still has them working for him. Once again this is one of the worst companys to work for they just use you and when they dont need you, you get fired. DONT WORK FOR THEM
