Comments on Eliza's review of Berkeley Bowl Marketplace
Berkeley Bowl Marketplace
Address:
2020 Oregon Street
Berkeley, CA 94703
510-843-6929
Description: An independent, full-service supermarket that carries a wide variety of produce, both local and organic, along with conventional groceries and everyday items.
There's a reason it's crowded
Shopping at Berkeley Bowl can be a challenge, no question. If you can see the floor, it's not crowded, but there are a lot of reasons to join the rush.
The produce department is the best, they have Everything, a lot of it organic or local or both. The fish counter is excellent, they carry grass-fed beef, a good vitamin selection, and a wide range of basic groceries.
Probably the best reason to shop here, though, is price. BB is usually cheaper than almost anywhere else, and on organic produce they put the competition to shame.
A high-energy place, yes, but it's positive energy.
