Berkeley Natural Grocery Company

They carry a rare selection of chocolate bars. Fellow chocolate fiends will appreciate this.

They also have some other unique items like sandwiche cookies with a cream center. If you can tell, I have a healthy sweet tooth.

Aside from that, the produce, as organic as it may be, is a small selection. Which is understandable considering the stores foot print.

Friendly team and good customer service are some other positives.

But in my opinion this neighborhood grocer is more suited for small grocery hauls, rather than buying a weeks worth of groceries for a family of four or more.

But that’s one person’s opinion.
Keep in mind the five star review.
I still definitely recommend the business.

Until the next local discovery, happy and healthy eating.

Very good quality and selection of products! The scale of the store is wanderful. Very enjoyable to shop there

Small shop, good selection and friendly team

My all-time favorite place to shop for healthy foods in all of Berkeley. Staff is super helpful and friendly. Good variety. I will go out of my way to come here.

Great place for reasonably priced good food. I love the raw grass fed butter. It, free range eggs and grassfed/finished beef for the win if you're an O blood type.

I love this grocery store, and I go there every 7 to 10 days. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The quality of the produce is better than Berkeley Bowl in my opinion.

I am on a gluten free diet, and I had a lot of problems with gluten attacks from the produce and cheese I bought at Berkeley Bowl (see my review for Berkeley Bowl West). I have never had a gluten attack from anything I've bought at Berkeley Natural Grocery.

Highly recommended!

Great neighborhood store! Has all the basics, nice fruit and veggies, coffee, dairy, baked goods, and some nice beer and wine. You can’t go wrong!

Nice organic food store, albeit small.

A very special health store and deer to my heart, has all kinds of hidden treasures that can help keep you healthy and sound of mind. Great vegtables an fruits, nuts, chocolates, with a little eucalyptus rubbed on your skin, you can be on your way to smelling wonderfully blissed, just like Lillys of the valley, it's a hidden treasure.

For a small grocery they have a lot of stuff. Good place to shop without crowds. Neighborhood parking. Usually find a spot well within a block. Other shops and restaurants in the area. Decent selection of produce, dairy and vegan foods.

Love this market, great fruit and veg selections. A good selection of cold drinks and dairy products. Even has a small homeopathic section. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I really appreciate how they handled pandemic protocols. I enjoy supporting this local business.

I’ve been shopping here for decades. I love this place. It is smaller than the sister store in el Cerrito- but it makes up for it in a friendly, organized and well stocked grocery. The produce is consistently fresh and well chosen. Everything is organic. They are responsive if you have a question or a suggestion.

Now, how about opening an hour early for seniors and the health compromised crowd during the shut down?

So grateful this store is here. They have been great with their covid safety protocols consistently, they carry excellent products and the staff is always helpful and friendly. My favorite place to shop, especially during the pandemic, while avoiding larger stores.

Excellent neighborhood grocery store with amazing and helpful staff. Every product has been vetted so I can feel good about what I am buying without having to research every label myself. I do 99% of my family's grocery shopping at this small, convenient store. Tip: If they do not have something that you want, especially meat cuts, they can usually have it sent over from their El Cerrito location by the next day. Quick in and out due to small size is a plus!

What a great place! Great customer service, great people, and so much better than Whole Foods. Though WF is closer, no one likes the snobbery attitude.

Makes me wish I actually bought something and not just turned in an application. Oh well, due to how close this place is to where I reside, it's great to have that option!

small but adequate selection. not an overwhelming shopping experience. they have everything I want and need. there's never a long wait. they are open later than other local stores. the staff is super friendly and helpful. It is your grandmothers local grocery store, with awesome organic produce and healthy food and living choices!!

This is a wonderful little local grocery store has all the things you need minus the fluff. The staff is warm and helpful A+ experience.

This is my go-to store for bulk goods. They will give you a tare weight on your own containers gladly, and have no problem ringing up your purchases at the end. The store has other things too, like packaged food, dairy and frozen meat, but that is pretty expensive so I stick to the bulk. I do get vitamins for the kids from the health section, though.

The quintessential Berkeley health food store, carrying local and regional foods, cleaning gods, skin care, and herbs, with a rocking bulk food section Including bulk honey and bulk peanut butter. Of special note is their dairy and cheese section, with raw, non homogenized, and organic options galore. Great store!

Discovered this lovely store today, the answer to my prayers! Great place to shop for good quality, healthy food.
