It's a great store -- best produce section for good prices I've ever seen. Just get ready to spend a solid hour to pick up even a few things. Parking, the aisles, the lines -- everything is a hassle. But you won't find rabbit at $4.99 / lb anywhere else.

Pros: variety, quality, prices

Cons: parking, crowds, lines

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great tasting fresh variety of fruits/vegitables w/ competitive prices. Although the grocery workers are not top class, the choices of produce is very overwhelming.

Pros: taste, fun

Cons: crowded, shoving, loud

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Ever wonder why you moved to California? The answer is right here in the produce aisles. 20 kinds of oranges, 15 different varieties of plums...the list goes on and on! Not so yuppified as Whole Foods, the BB is an East Bay institution, even in its new spiffed-up incarnation.

Editor's Review

Affectionately dubbed "the stroll" by loyal shoppers, this popular marketplace is a budget-conscious organic shopper's oasis.  See the full editorial review.
