Elroy's Fine Foods

What a neat concept! We were in the area visiting Nece’s gluten free bakery — and we were drawn to the logo of a bear and the word “uncommon” below the icon. Walking in we were struck by the floral creations and the curated homewares that would make GREAT gifts. The aisles of packaged goods are nicely laid out — really appreciate the selection of items, many which were new to us. Wish we had known that there was a gluten-free breakfast burrito available earlier in our stay. Also appreciated the coffee bar and smoothie bar. The bakery items looked so delicious and fresh — though none were gluten free, I can always appreciate the creations.

Love the curation. They mark the different brands with tags if they’re women or AAPI or other minority businesses. Also lots of local businesses carried inside too.

There is hot food and fast lunch inside plus a drink bar where you can get coffee and assorted drinks.

Plus a bulk foods section!!

I love this place for all my gourmet food needs, they always have kind clerks and I often get lost in all the cool products on the shelves. If you need unique culinary ingredients- probably come by here and check. They even have specialty fresh foraged mushrooms, microgreens and a ridiculously extensive selection of local veggies, spices, beers, etc. Its like a farmers market in a …. brick and mortar market? Haha there are also delicious deli counter options, and a cafe. Yes, it is pricey, its gourmet baby. But carries a ton of local and I love that!

This might be my favourite grocer ever. I wish it was in LA so I could do all my shopping here all the time.

They have a fantastic range of gluten free foods, both packaged and hot and freshly made foods - something that is not common! Their freshly made foods are all incredible and I can’t recommend it enough.

Move to Laurel Canyon maybe?

Is it possible to fall in love with a market, because I think I just did.
From their incredible selection of local produce: figs, shallots, micro greens..; to the vast selection of freshly cooked foods, side dishes, salads, desserts, at the deli counter; to their selection of handpicked local and natural wines; Elroy’s is exactly what the Monterey community has needed.

I look forward to every trip to this market and I’ll be working my way down their sandwich menu over the coming weeks. If the rest are as good as their “Charcuterie Sammie” I’m in for a treat.

Support local businesses, shop Elroy’s.

I think I just drank the best hot latte of my life here. Chloe (?) made it. I think that was the name. Delicious.

I always find something delicious from their deli to eat and have spent waaaay (like thousands) on their sundries over the years. To be fair they do sell anise pastilles and great coffee for road trips in the Airstream too.

I really like this new store, the fresh fish is absolutely the freshest and best tasting I've bought in this area, great produce from local farmers, prepared foods are restaurant quality, and they have a coffee and smoothie bar, I could go on, check it out!!

I am hot for Elroy’s fine foods. In communities I’ve lived in previously I would end up popping into roughly 4-5 different grocers for specific items but I can find and feel good about really any purchase made here. I’m talking a beautiful locally sourced, thoughtfully curated selection of products made with clean ingredients. Organic produce, wonderful bulk section, ethically sourced meats and dairy, bottle return deposit on milk, plastic free cleaning items, feel good skincare ingredients with thoughtful packaging. All of the mindful, sustainable choices, the good music, the flowers, baskets, adorable little lip balms in cardboard packaging and the cute staff made me want to say, “Hey Elroy’s, thanks for thinking of me. I love you too.” Also, you can get delicious, ready made food if you’ve spent too much time ogling products and are too late to start dinner. You can drink a beer while you shop. I’m very happy here.

I don't know what I would do without this little grocery store. Thank you Chloé, you're a rockstar! Elroy's elevates the standard for quality, sustainably-sourced food by lightyears. Not only do all of their products -- ranging from produce to frozen and prepared meals -- contain only the highest quality, cleanest ingredients, but the producers are respected as well. Brands are researched thoroughly to make sure they're local (when possible), sustainable and supporting community initiatives.

I personally am willing to pay more for all of this value both for me, the environment and the folks who lovingly produce our food. It's the true cost of food done right and I'm glad someone is providing it for our community!

Wonderful people live here. Love the music. The vibe, the food and atmosphere makes me want to come back. I wish this spot was in my neighborhood.

This small store punches well above its weight! I find everything I need for even the most exotic dish. And the staff is super helpful. No lines.

A wonderful specialty market with a great supply of gluten free , dairy free items! A date walnut cake seems to be a specialty there, delicious!

I'm obsessed with this place, so many amazing gf & df options. I love that everything is labeled.

It's so refreshing to be able to shop at a grocery store knowing all of the food is organic, safe from harmful chemicals and additives and absolutely delicious. I love that Elroy's sources locally and from small businesses whenever possible. I would much rather spend my money here than at a restaurant where the ingredients are questionable.

Excellent small grocery store. Lots of fresh produce (some local) and unique pantry items.

Amazing deli and prepared foods section! Highly recommend.

Elroys Foods is consistently better than any restaurant on the Peninsula, even better than my own. We have done a lot of take-out food over the years, but no more, we go to Elroys once or two times every single week. I feel like kissing the floor as we leave.🌹To top that off, every single staff person is outstanding!
Bravo!! We love love Elroys!

The food is so delightful, and their smoothie bar is my absolute favorite. If you are looking for clean, fresh, gluten free, dairy free options, and you're not afraid to spend a little extra for the quality, this is the spot for you! Enjoy.

Super cool market! Absolutely, without fail, the best, homemade hummus, you’ve ever tasted! They have an assortment of wonderful prepared foods, as well as meats, and seafood to purchase and cook at home.

Great customer service. They have amazing and unique food options. A place where everyone can find something they'd like. You can pick up items that are ready eat or groceries for later. They have a beverage station with I unique drinks. I tried the one with match and it was delicious. Be sure to check out their section where you can buy bee pollen, dried fruit, grain, and so much more by the ounce/pound. This is definitely a place to get inspiration to eat better, healthier, try new foods and recipes.

You’ve gotta respect someone who opens a grocery store across the street from a Whole Foods. It’s not that big, but they have a great selection. We’ve had sandwiches from there, we regularly buy almond butter (Enzos), and they get bread from Ad Astra. Plus they have a bar area in the idle of the store that serves wine and coffee. We haven’t done that yet but we plan to soon. Highly recommended, check it out.
