Wonderful to stumble upon this European market while walking to the Farmer's Market on Webster Street. It just moved across the street into the old Alameda Lighting space. The groceries are in the back of the store, almost like a secret annex behind the Mitchell's ice cream shop. The owner is from the former Yugoslavia (Bosnia), so many brands from the Balkan states. Canned sprats, German Appel zarte herring, Hungarian goulash, Turkish hamsi fried anchovies, Podravka pâté, Bosnian burek pie, Milka chocolate, Vegeta Mediterranean seasoning. As someone with an Asian background, I see so many things I wanted to buy! I will definitely make this a destination when I find myself in near Downtown Oakland and Alameda.
No one helps when you come here, also the market was basically empty. I was in here with 7 people we were all walking in circles and left with nothing.
Just take the trip to Euromarket in Oakland…
Came here on a Sunday morning because I saw a sign outside that reads "fresh smoothies".
The Owners are super nice and bring good vibes.
The smoothie has all fresh fruits, nothing frozen.
they have a great looking ice cream parlor and then grocery store looks organized and very appealing.
I'm coming in to try the ice cream next!
I don’t know how this slipped through my typing fingers to not have given them 5 stars yet !
I absolutely love this store!
They have products from the Balkan! Macedonia, Serbia , Bosnia . The blend of all good flavors in traditions ! You can find from milk to the cooking supplies . And the people are always so nice and friendly !
It’s lovely experience every time I shop here! I will give them 10 stars if I could !
We drove one hour to get to this place, and I can tell you we can definitely drive more if we have to. Everything was amazing. Having cevapi and lepinja that was almost like being home.
Great place! The owners and their tiny dog are very nice. If you need to make a gift basket for a foody friend this is the place to shop. They carry pelmeni, Tongue loaf, totally delicious marinated mushrooms, a lovely selection of teas and meats that I can't get anywhere else. I always find something new to try. I There are a number of unusual brandys and a selection of wine as well. European cookies, candies and pomegranate turkish delight so grab one of their shopping carts and try something you've never tasted before. We had coffee and dessert on a rainy day it was so pleasant. Next time I'm going to try their ice cream. So next time you are in Alameda try this little gem of a place.
I love this place. Friendly service. Helpful in explaining things. I have bought potato pierogi, country bread, and the Bosnian coffee. All were yummy. The selection of European products is amazing. Highly recommended.
Wow - such a hidden gem of an Eastern European market and beyond (Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Armenia). I had no idea until I walked by one day and saw someone drinking what I thought was Turkish coffee - it was Bosnian, like the owner.
Lots of folks come for the amazing Mitchell’s ice cream. My husband and I are fans of wines/beers in the region, and the selection doesn’t disappoint.
