Yelp
but....THE BEST Cafe/Brewery and IPA'er, has GONE, since opening day, they had close to SF Garlic Fries alike Giants Stad/Gilroy Garlic and many many other items, they EVEN hung on during C-19! S a d history for CV MktPlc now.
But others can make up for it, alike the newer Pizza place upstairs, keep in mind, these are artistinal food hall type places, not dimino's (yes DIMinoes) or corp greed food, the ONLY large co is the brand new addition that replaced The Oak Spice Shoppe (yes OAKland) has come later and gone back to OAK, miss the Japanese Curry Pwdr. IS....Pappa Beard custard and filled pastry.
Otherwise besides the Natural Market their are them and the Butcher ($$$) that have other locations, maybe one, two or more, but NOT Corp.
The Market takes most of downstairs but it reminds us kinda of Rainbow Mkt from SF, but def NOT WFM, except the prices are high, but alot of natural, Organic and Fair Trade and other good things.
Some cafe's upstairs are POP UPS come and go and some are pretty pricey,
BUT QUALITATIVENESS IS KEY here folks, ESPECIALLY for Castro Valley , wow.
AlCo (Alameda County worked on this Co-op type of place for awhile before it became to fruition. Really Good Surprise for down the hill from the Tri-Valley.
We will see and wait for the Beer Place replacement, it is also a large area of the CVM inside and out. Lots of seating for every purchase outside, especially post Covid-19.
Don't forget to go DOWNSTAIRS or elevate downwards to the Wine Bar, They make awesome Affagato BTW!!! Nice place also pricey, but hey, it's International and CA Wines, what can be said.
Try for yourself it's worth any East Bay or EAST East Bay trip to CVMkt.
