Fantastic fresh foods. Fresh soups. Big Salad Bar great for picnic. A real bonus: A full time Sushi Chef at the deli. Pop in, grab sushi made that day or place an order & shop until it’s ready for pick-up. They sell extra fresh ginger too. Delish.

Decent small grocery store but their sushi is terrible and should probably be scrapped so they can focus on other things. Enjoyed their fresh juice and produce department, and as an immunocompromised patient I appreciated the three staff members who masked. Plenty of parking,

Great selection at top quality. Vast veggie display with fresh organic and conventional produce. Spectacular customer service—staff are all smiling, seemingly all the time. Best of all, though, are the meat and fish counter employees. I have asked for special cuts and unique items, and it’s never a problem, always with a smile. Prices a step up from the big chain market across the road; value many steps higher!

Cashier friendly even customers are friendly, if you want something organic this is the best place to go in Sonoma. The best place for organic produce,honey and is local.

Great local market with fresh produce that easily rivals Whole Foods. The meat department is great and the deli department has a great varitey of food that you don’t usually see at other markets.

It's a nice little store, everyone is friendly for the most part, until you get out in the parking lot . It's just too hard to get in and out.

I love this market! The staff is the main reason, the customer service is at the top! The coffee bar guys and gals are the best!Thank you for good old fashion smiles and service not easy to come by these days. Keep up the great work! Your community appreciates you.

I love this place. It has the best deli foods and the workers are happy and helpful. I love the fresh fruit juices just as you come in the door. Also, they have a great selection of vegan cheese. Also, they are the only place to buy turkey breast during off-Thanksgiving days:)

Awesome market with an amazing selection, especially considering it’s tiny in comparison to big box supermarkets. It is however pricey! Make sure to check out the meat counter, the deli and their very own cheese counter. Worth a visit!

Updated Review. Went yesterday and got a deli sandwich, it had only about 1/4 of the meat usually on a sandwich. I also bought a Chicken Fettucini Alfredo for my pregnant wife. Heated it up tonight, thought it kinda had a different smell than normal when cooking it. Pulled it out of the oven, wife tasted it a bit and threw up. Completely rancid. Had a sell by date of today 9/25/2022. Employees seemed less than interested and just wanted to refund me so I would leave.

I love this grocery store. The produce is fresh and high quality, there are bulk spices, and great fish and meat counters. Plus I want to say it can be the least expensive option in Sonoma if you get mostly fresh items instead of pre-made. It gets expensive if you want to get the pre-made items, but the hummus and dips are good. Only negative is that we never liked any of the bakery bread we got here.

10/07/2021 I stopped in to see if they had a hot bar or some soup. It was about 11:30am and no soup. So I purchased a huge pizza cheese bagel for $1.99 from the self serve display. The bagel came with complimentary cream cheese cup (located in refrigerated case next to bagel display). The bagel was absolutely delicious. I'm sure it would be great warmed up. I tried to use the only restroom but it was closed. This store gets real busy so the small parking lot was very crowded.

I thought the store was OK. Some decent prepared foods and pretty much what Whole Foods carries. What Really bothered me was I am extremely interested in bringing my own bag so to not continue to add trash to landfills and I walked about a mile so it paper isn’t an option. The cashier rudely told me that you have to use their bags and told me to remove my bag from the bagging area. I have to be honest if this is a COVID thing they should be wiping down the area after each customer anyway so what is the big deal. Anyway made me feel embarrassed, like my bag looked dirty or something- back to Whole Foods for me!!

I love this place, very quaint, but amazing offerings. The caesar salad dressing is my favorite dressing of all time, it has the right amount of garlic and makes every salad delicious. I wish I lived closer so I could have it all the time, but Sonoma Market is definitely worth the drive if you're in the area. They are also connected to Glenn Ellen Market which is where I go in case I don't want to make the long trip up to Sonoma Market.

Best large supermarket in Sonoma. Great fish, meat and produce!

I've been going to this store for the last 20 years. I have to admit that by necessity, I usually get my day to day grocery shopping done at some of the other larger supermarkets however, when I want the best that money can buy this is my go to place to shop. Their meat, produce and fish departments are without compare in Sonoma. Oh and let's not forget cheese! I live on a limited income but sometimes you just have to have what you have to have.

So many of my favorite foods are here. The Caesar salad at the salad bar. The salt and vinegar chicken wings on the hot bar. Lamb kabobs marinated with green peppers in the meat department as well as the octopus salad already packaged to go. Cowgirl goat cheese and Brie with olives in the middle. If you have questions about wine to go with any of these there is always someone available and ready to answer questions or offer recommendations. Finish your shopping in the bakery, so much yummy goodness. Prices are more here but you get what you pay for. Checkout is easy and there are always plenty of cashiers available and pleasant.

Actually, this is pretty much my hometown market. I shop there for the variety of fresh fruits and vegetables plus lots of local products. Say CHEESE! A great place to get a quick turkey dinner--no muss, no fuss at the hot bar. The staff is super friendly and so are the people who shop there.

Great store for everything fresh, organic, sustainable. Plenty of staff on hand. Store layout and organization takes a bit of getting used to.

Wonderful old school hometown grocery store with everything and then some. Delictable array of cheeses, fantastic deli. 5 star hot food bar always serving full meals and always having turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy. Great meat and the best seafood in Sonoma County

Local market with a good selection of organic produce, fresh meats and local wines. The dry aged beef is especially delicious. They also serve coffee/espresso, and can prepare party platters at their deli. As an extra plus, kids love the mini shopping carts.

Gosh! Simply the very best a local business has to offer! From the people down to the goods, it seems everything is perfect and if NOT they'll try to make it that way! Love you Sonoma Market & Village Market in Glen Ellen too! Plus now that Lisa is in the deli in Sonoma regularly instead of Glen Ellen they've picked up the BEST server EVER! Period!

All good to excellent products, great Deli with not just commercial meat of quality but also in house cooked meat (turkey,roast beef & a 3rd)which is better as there are no preservatives etc & I think the turkey is free range, as well. But the best thing is that it's freshly cooked daily,& they are pretty good about cleaning the slicer machine between different kinds of meat ,so no cross- contamination. The store, in general, has high quality products ,they have Clover's Organic Kefir,as well as other brands but in comparison I think Clover's is the best if you mix in particular their "Perfect Blueberry, Pomegranate & Acai & lastly Mango, Passion Fruit & Pineapple" together ....you get the most vitamins and minerals plus 10 probiotic cultures with that combination,&the fact that Clover Dairy is local so it's fresh on arrival, whereas the other Kefirs have more travel time. The other thing that is important to me as a person who is always looking for best quality products & local where possible is their Organic Sour Cream selection, I think "Nancy's Cultured Organic Sour Cream" which they don't have but they do carry "Nancy's Cultured Organic Cream Cheese" so that makes no sense to me. Lastly, if you're looking for Organic Ice Cream,I think that the best is "Double Rainbow",they only carry Vanilla which I got them to bring back because if you do a taste test of the Organic Ice Creams you will find that "Double Rainbow" has more substance to theirs over all the rest & it's still local (originally made in San Francisco).The others get watery as they melt. I changed the minds of a number of customers & staff.

The store has new owners for 2 years now and some things are better and some things are worse. The overall quality of their produce, imo, has declined. Yesterday, their was a major fruit fly infestation by the small bananas area that I never ever witnessed on produce in the prior 22 years. Their fish market selections quality wise have declined, with much more emphasis on farmed items... Not a big fan of farmed items. Bananas qual6zucks compared to the old days. Mushroom quality is terrible, overall compared to the old days. Staff remains very friendly. I rate this version with Nugget being the owners as a C, whereby the old owners I gave an A.

The products at Sonoma Market are excellent, and the staff is kind, helpful, and all-around wonderful. The store is clean, bright, and a pleasure to visit. I'm so glad to have this market in our county!

Amazing store with lovely, seasonal produce and nicely packaged picnic or gourmet gathering itens ready to go. Love the sweet people you meet here, locals and visitors alike. Sonoma Market puts you in a good mood with all the colors and flavors, the rich bounty of the earth right in front if you. Browse cheeses, wines, premade breakfast goodies you need only warm jn the oven, plus all the groceries for a good life. Share smiles. Share the California coolness and enjoy a visit here.

Convenient, close and very friendly staff. They always have fresh fruit and vegetables and numerous sales on fish and poultry. I've gone here for over 10 years and have never been disappointed!

Purchased special Valentine cupcakes at Bakery @$3 per cupcake for family. Unfortunately they were horrible. I mean throw away horrible. Cake was dry and frosty was bad taste. Expected delicious cake and buttercream frosting. Waste of $, but sad too b/c we love this market.

Pricey and oft-over hyped goods. Good for a quick stop for a dessert or bottle of wine that will be different than competitors across the street. Gelato is great on a hot day. Can't recommend the sandwiches.

Ok, I just returned from the Sonoma Market where I have shopped 3-4 times a week for many years. Today, my bill was $284.21. A lot of money right? When I go home, I tasted the ham that I had bought at the deli - 2 lbs. for a total of $26.11. The ham, to me, tasted close to not being good. In my life, I have ever returned anything like this, but this was expensive, so off I go back to Sonoma Market. The lady that checked me out, said take it back to the deli and they'll replace it. The guy beind the counter said there was nothing wrong with it, and as we are having this conversation, the deli manager came up and told me the same thing. I said I would just like you to open a new one and he refused. At that point, I said just give me my money back and I'll never shop here again. So they gave me my money, and on the way out I saw the manager and told him. All he said was "did they give you your money back". I said yes, but what I really wanted was the ham. I buy it there weekly and we love it. Again, no relief. What kind of customer service does that? If I had a customer that just wanted me to open a fresh ham, I would!!!They have lost a customer that spent a ton of money there, and will make sure that I never recommend Sonoma Market again. I don't care how good your market is, if your customer service is horrible, that makes your market horrible. I can see from other reviews that I'm not alone in my opinion.
