Farmer Joe's Marketplace

I’ve come here since childhood and it’s always been a great place for good produce and specialty ingredients I can’t find at a mega grocery store.The produce here is so wonderfully fresh I’ve propagated cuttings from it, and what isn’t is well discounted. Today they gave me some actual mint plant as well! Local businesses are the best.

Farmer Joe's Market at the corner of 35th Ave. & MacArthur Blvd., here in Oakland is always a pleasant experience. Fresh fruits & vegetables 😋 but also, many other items from eggs to excellent ice icecream choices. The staff is friendly and helpful. I am happy to recommend you shop here. Especially if you are a Laurel and surrounding neighborhoods. Farmer Joe's has been here a very long time and with the quality products they offer coupled with excellent service and actually good value for your money. If you haven't done so or are a new neighbor, check them out. You'll be happy you did.

This place rules, and has everything. Good place to find tasty items that you'd need a whole foods or trader Joe's for. They have excellent deli sandwiches. And an excellent comprehensive beer and wine selection. Just be prepared to navigate tight spaces. There's barely enough room between isles for 2 carts to pass. Bottom line. . . Wish I was there now instead of sitting on my toilet writing this review.

I rated 5 stars for this smaller store as it has everything that you might want, that you forgot at a larger grocery store. It has a fresh meat and fish section; produce; dairy; named brand box and can goods. Plus, natural health and beauty items. Today, I bought eggs, bread & moisturizing hand gloves.

Great little produce and grocery. Reasonable prices on most things. Very convenient spot in the Laurel. Usually has available parking. Nice selection of organic and local veggies in a small spot. Good plant-based dessert section!!!

One of my favorite neighborhood grocery stores shipped here for 16 years! Great family business, they expanded and still offer friendly service with great fresh produce and meats! Highly recommend even though I left the neighborhood from be years ago when around the Bay always stop in.

Great small grocery that I've been going to for more than 20 years. Good prices on milk and produce. Nice butcher/meat department. Lots of organic produce, dairy, packaged goods and large freezer section. Has pretty much everything you would need including fresh bread and baked goods.

Aside from being a great market, this family is incredible. I lost my wallet on Sunday and tonight an employee delivered it to my door. I had phoned Sunday afternoon to ask after it but they had not yet found anything. Nothing was missing and they had wrapped it in a bag for protection. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness. Customer for life here 💜

Much smaller than their flagship market on Fruitvale just 1 1/2 miles from here and because they are much smaller this store has significantly less variety of produce and other items. But if you are in the neighborhood, it is much easier parking and has better and cheaper produce than other supermarkets in the area. They also have a fresh meat and fish market that is pretty good. Easy access to both freeways, 580 and 13.

Love the organic produce section! I can stock up on my weekly groceries for cheap! I usually go to the bulk bins, the organic veggies, and sometimes take peeks at the artisenal snacks.

I live in SF, so it's a trek out here, but it's worth it! The drive is easy, parking can be tough (but never impossible!), and the staff is friendly and helpful. The owner and his wife are frequently seen at the store, so be sure to say hi!

We love this small, family-owned market. Yes one can sometimes get better prices at a large chain supermarket, but I'd rather spend a bit extra and contribute to our local Oakland community. We usually do our big 1x/week shopping at the larger Farmer Joe's on Fruitvale when we need items not available at the MacArthur location, but regularly run to the "Little Joe's" for a basket-full of last-minute needs.

I love this place! Discovering about a year and a half ago while working in Oakland for a week or so but hadn't been back since since I live in the city. Well, I found myself in Oakland again and found farmer Joe's again too. Great produce and juices!

I shop here almost exclusively for my groceries. It is only about 6 blocks from my home and I can walk. A better vibe than the larger Fruitvale location, although the Frutivale location has a much larger selection and full service meat, deli and bakery counters. Best for fresh produce, milk, eggs, bread, meats and fish. For larger bulky items, like sugar, flour, cereal and oils, better prices are at your larger grocery chains. The owners are great and have done a lot to invest in the neighborhood with these independent grocery stores. They deserve our support and patronage.

There are two locations, the large one is my favorite. I love that they offer Mary's chicken at a good price and that they will cut it up for you. The organic produce is reasonably priced, Baker's of Paris breads in addition to Semifreddi's and Acme's, hot soups, rotisserie chicken with flavors other stores don't offer.... I only wish I lived closer! If you need help looking for an item they will make every effort to find it for you. Huge plus - they hire people with disabilities. I would frequent the store just for that reason alone.

This is my local, family-owned grocery store. I've shopped here for a decade. Great produce. If I'm entertaining or want a bit more section, I go to the larger store on Fruitvale. But 35th is my home store. Love them.

I LOVE this place! Some items are almost at Chinatown price level but fresher. There's hugely diverse collection of groceries at this store. Organic, non-organic, locally sourced.

I enjoy this market. Quick in and out with my kind of food choices. Fresh meats, seafood, and veggies. It has my favorite brands PLUS good parking, close to freeway and friendly staff.

Awesome locally owned grocery store. Great produce, solid butcher and plenty of products to fill in the gaps. Excellent beer selection for a local market too.

I’m handicapped and the staff is very very helpful- dashing over to get something off a shelf or offer to load the car. Meat, fish & produce are excellent-fresh & fairly priced.

They have the Bay Area's best Hummus " Yousef Hummus "
