The Market

The best pizza I’ve ever tasted in the Bay Area. Super friendly staff.

Expensive.
The table in the cafe are sometimes not clean. Prepared food is high quality, and tea is good. Store is otherwise very clean and nice.
Net net I prefer Whole-foods, because Whole-foods is less expensive.

Top notch food hall. Numerous food stations to choose from plus a huge selection of prepared meals like soups and salads. I would definitely recommend it. Prices are fair, similar to what you would pay at Whole Foods.

There was no coffee and the food was hard to find.

I like the tacos, and the pizza is decent. Some of the hot table food like fried chicken and Filipinx food can be really good. But beware, the grocery items, though convenient, are pretty spendy - maybe more than Whole Paycheck. They have a couple of loyalty type programs that'll save you a few dollars which I suppose is better than nothing.

This place is great for a few things:

The meat ( tri-tip, prime-rib, rib-eyes, sausages, halibut, salmon, and tiger prawns)

The Beer ( Belgian Ales, the one with the raspberry flavor, IPA, and of course ...Guinness. )

Although, many things I can get at another grocery store, I try to go for only meats, already seasoned and ready to go. Most of their sides are extremely over-priced. Just make sure you have someone else bring it for the BBQ. Don't send someone to Whole's for sides like my friend did to me. I hate you Ryan B. It's not funny!

An eclectic and hipster grocery store, The Market has everything from locally-made soaps and honeycomb to fancy cheeses and sushi. The Market also has an in-store bar, deli, and ready-made food section. The Market can be a little pricey, but quality is a guarantee.

I walked into this place because I was hungry. Looked like a happening place with lots of seats and lots of people.

My first visit and I am already excited.

There is a black security guard, perhaps an immigrant (found out later)

I do the walk around and am interested in the pizza slices. I must have been inside the store for 4 mins and notice security guy watching me.

I carry on with my tour of this place and he is following me. I am not paranoid but I can tel if j am being followed in every aisle.

I must be wrong, it cannot be.

I try and loop and try and loose him and there he is.

I am still hungry and pick 2 bananas

And there he is again.

I pass by him, give him a friendly pat on his shoulder and laugh about it and say "I feel you are following me, you are everywhere I go"

He says "don't touch me"

And I realize a distinct accent, cannot pin point it but not American.

I talked about this with the shift manager.

To those who have read this far

I was not welcome here and for the first time feel watched and intimidated with the hired security.

I will not be coming to your store again, EVER.

I will rule this out to the security guard having a bias or the guy/girl monitoring camera and telling him where I was.

Sad world we live in.

Sept 2014 - Upscale supermarket catering to the residents who are living in the surrounding upscale condominiums. They serve a good lunch. I was able to get a small potted flower bouquet here which is great for gifts.

Upscale grocery store with an excellent ready to eat selection at the hot bar, and excellent quick service stores. Highly recommended.
