Clean, convenient and a good variety of commercial and local quality foods. There are some ready to meal options. There is a nice variety of specialty departments; bakery, sushi, meat, seafood, flowers, etc. The isles are pretty close together, so navigating can be tricky when busy. Good parking for cars, not recommended for big trucks, or if pulling a trailer. Is on the pricey side, but for the quality and convenience, worth it.

This is a nice grocery store, pleasant employees, well stocked shelves from fruits to vegetables to canned and frozen goods. Today I bought a chicken salad sandwich and a cold coffee mocha 16 oz Absolutely delicious. Most everything seems to be reasonably priced. They have a large selection selection of sandwiches and meals to choose from for Breakfast, lunch or dinner.

So good! They carry lots of local products. The staff is helpful and pleasant.The meat department is superb. I like how they identify which farm the animal is grown, how they are pastured, what they are fed, and if they are ethically slaughtered. It makes a huge difference to me. Oliver's cares!

Made reservation ahead of time to celebrate daughters birthday. Nice ambience with lots of vegetarian options. Everything we ordered was flavorful. Vegan chocolate cake was the best. Parking was May be little difficult to find near restaurant but lots of roadside parking available.

I love shopping here, but I was profiled in the produce section a couple nights ago. I am recovering from the flu and I guess I was taking too long because the tall female produce clerk whispered to another clerk within earshot of me that I was "suspicious" and "she was going to keep an eye on me". Super disappointing!

The bakery is amazing! I called multiple other places and was told my order wasn’t possible. I thought I would give Oliver’s a try. I wanted a specific cake and matching cupcakes (for a baby yoda themed birthday.) I didn’t even send a picture in and they nailed it! It’s better than I imagined, It’s perfect! The customer service was incredible.

I bought some fresh pastry, home made soup, sausage and corn dogs. Food is made fresh daily in the store. The best deli in the region

Love Olivers. Use to be a Safeway shoper but I could not stand the lines at check out. Olivers is a bit farther away, but worth the drive!High quality of food choices, and healthier options. Seriously good beer selection. Best Sonoma County wines for sale. Old fasshion meat department and a seafood case that has most of the fish and shell fish you'd want ( with live crab seasonally). Produce section has super fresh and ripe fruites and veggies.Cheese department is staffed with a cheese monger who is there to give advice and samples.Holistic section with a dedicated staff to assit you with selection and purchases.There is a refrigerated section with premade meals ready to take home and microwave plus a hot bar with food that is ready to consume immediately.Staff is super friendly and helpful.The best part is that with only a few exceptions, you can check out within minutes.Oh don't forget weekend barbeque of tri tip and ribs in the parking lot.

This Oliver's is lovely but my heart is still with Stony Point. But basically I do love this store because it is employee owned and operated and you've got to love that. Also the freshness of the food and the fabulous attitude of the employees (because I've never had a bad employee at Oliver's really) make it a stellar market. Thank you for being there-See you soon! PS: don't forget that they sell gift cards-my aunt in Ohio sent me one and I am eternally grateful to her. Thx Aunt J!!! 💜

*update: the tall guy that wears a hat called me a degenerate. EVERY time I have him as my cashier he disrespects me. The morning manager gave me a hard time for wanting to return a sandwich that had a big curly black hair in it… I go to Oliver’s many times a day. Spending hundreds of dollars every month. One morning I was about to check out and saw some energy shots at the end of the aisle. I looked at the ingredients and put the shot back once I saw the second ingredient was coffee. I checked out, and all my items were ready to be bagged. This is when the cashier (short red hair) proceeded to ask me if I had “grabbed that energy shot”. Grabbed? I was confused because I already was paying. I remained poise and said, “If I had, it would be with all my other items”. This young woman did not ask this because she saw me steal. She asked me to belittle and embarrass me as if I took the item. Her tone was evident. Socioeconomic discrimination is real(I use EBT), and if Olivers does passive aggressively ask me if I took something again I will be taking legal action.

This is a fantastic market to get your specialty food items! They have a great international cheese selection which was quite impressive! And the cheese sommeliers there are truly knowledgeable about their cheeses. They also have a great wine selection (domestic and international). Their a fresh meat selection was good and also have ready to eat food items and a deli counter. This reminds me of the old Italian markets i used to visit frequently when i lived in New York City (although this is a much larger version of them). Everything here was quite impressive and most were a rare and or pleasant find. I felt the prices were reasonable as well.

Nice selection. Taste of the premade sandwiches was a little disappointing but I was grateful to have something to eat on the road.

This is the best place to spend ebt! Sometimes there's a remaining balance for items that ebt benefits do not cover, but guess what; the cashiers are even willing to pay that balance, even if you reach for your debit card or cash, they'll just say "I got you!"Yup that's right, they've donated up to $2 before to move me through checkout promptly.How sweet! ☺️

The hot food at this location is always super dry. The meat in particular. For example today I got the "Coconut Chicken". The meat was SOOO over cooked it was inedible. Tender and juicy should be your mantra, not 6 days dried out in the desert sun.This seems to be a trend at this location. I used to shop at Stony Point regularly for years and never had a bad food experience. I've been using the Montecito location for a couple years now and they can't seem to do anything right. The Burritos taste completely different at Montecito. The Hot food is almost always dried out. The deli is ok, though lately I've had to deal with a new person who seems irritable and inept all the time.I would hazard to guess that the head Chef at Montecito needs some remedial training in food preparation and staff supervision.

I appreciated the warmth and patience of Curtis in the Wellness department over the weekend. He was very knowledgeable and kind.

This grocery store is one of the best. Locally and employee owned. They carry great local and national brands with an emphasis on local organic foods. Most everything prepared here is delicious and satisfying. Prices are higher than normal so if your trying to save money or shop on the cheap this may not be the store for you. Great hot bar, make your own salad bar, excellent sandwiches, calistoga honey is one of my favorites, and many other freshly prepared treats and desserts too! Simply wonderful

The bakery department is absolutely amazing. I needed a few cakes for our wedding dinner. They let me customize the decorations on the cakes I chose. The girl that was helping me order was kind and extremely willing to help with ideas. 100% recommend for any birthday party or shower you are planning. Also the cakes were delicious.

Great selection of foods, fairly well organized. Quite comparable to whole foods or a sprouts. Staff is friendly and engaging, and they have everything you would expect a grocery store to have. Love it!

I love this grocery store. Great selection, with many gourmet choices. A wonderful deli and cheese counter. The employees are very friendly and always willing to help. It gets crowded on Wednesday's when the over 60 crowd comes in to get their senior discount.

The best Local Grocery Store chain in SoCo. Lots of great staff as well as customers and products. Tons of locally produced items, often only sold at their store. Best Cheese Department in the County. Really good prepared foods! Shop here if you care about your health as well as the community that these folks help build, not just maintain. It is employee owned as well.

While we were on our trip to Sonoma County this was our go-to market. We really loved the deli. The sandwiches and the salads we had were great. We also thought the store was well laid out, and everyone we talked to was very friendly. Great place to get fixings for an awesome picnic!

Really nice Market! All your favorite treats and excellent organic selection. They even had organic Bella Rosa coffee samples freshly made. I live olivers. Even though the prices are pretty high you can always find sales and affordable deals!
