Apparently there's a lot of "health food" stores around here but there really isn't. This is nothing like what I'm used to. It looked like something like Whole Foods from the outside but inside is not it. Sometimes they have a random loud ass band in there. For the boomers! Lol I also thought it was a specialty store but no. I went in there hopefully to get a good dessert but they didn't look good or fresh. But apparently they have good vegan options which is good. Maybe it's a timing thing as well. They had a lot of wine/presecco options but not a lot of pastries or cake. Well when I went there wasn't any I wanted to buy.

I don’t know who is in charge of the music, but the music is truly unpleasant.

It’s a nice place with a good but expensive selection. Service, particularly the butcher, could be friendlier. He scowled at me!

El Cerrito Natural grocery store has almost all organic fruits and vegetables. They do have meat, eggs and milk. Personally I always buy milk and sprouted bread from this store. They do have parking but it's always difficult to find a spot.

I asked my sister to bring us some mashed potatoes. She kindly descended on the El Cerrito Annex. We purchased two pints of mashed potatoes for an astronomical 33.00. Not only is this pure highway robbery, but the pricing is negligent on behalf of Annex. It is by far one of the most egregious ways to charge a customer who merely came in for mashed potatoes. We are shocked and disappointed, with the pricing schemes and will never return as a customer. I share with you wholeheartedly to avoid the El Cerrito Annex, if you have any sense of monetary value for food. We will never return.

My fave place in the morning - every morning. Great vibe, music, food, staff & great sense of community unlike anything I’ve experienced! Wednesday’s 5-8 great local music talent too !

Love this place. I live nearby and come here often. The only real downside is the espresso-based drinks. I don't want to hurt feelings but they really are exceptionally bad. I think some additional staff training would be beneficial.

This store offers good quality food. They don't have a huge selection but it's good. The staff is welcoming, and helpful.

This company has done a lot of good for healthy food awareness and ecology awareness far beyond its local customer base. 5 stars for that. Combining the Annex ratings with the store is problematic. Convenience, recyclable containers, interesting prepared foods, no complaints. Prices are what you'd expect in this sphere. Topic: Groceries and produce. We've never had fruit rot more quickly than it has from this store. And the Acme baguette was stale on day of purchase and hard as a rock the next day. Canned goods, packaged goods, no complaints. Butcher guys are very helpful and proteins are very high quality. Check the dates on dairy. Cashiers and staff overall are communicative and excellent. Eat the produce same day as purchase 'cause they are not spending money on keeping those fruits, herbs, salad greens etc. cool anywhere in that building. Berries? Forget about it. Eat them on your bicycle on your way home.
Last minute nite family request for butter mochi and NO vanilla extract. I ran to the store and the cashier directed me. This was first time in the store as I usually go to the Berkeley BowlI'll try again to see but the assistance in mt "emergency " gives this rating
