Roberts Market

They have the best liquor selection I’ve ever seen, including in liquor stores. The purchaser has amazing taste. Very highly recommend!

Truly the best selection of fresh foods and meat! Even though the vegetable section is small compared to a large grocery store, everything is farmers market fresh. I love that it’s a one stop shop. They even went as far as stocking the protein tortillas that I had been looking for!! Forever our grocery store.

Really nice grocery store even though its rather small. Their deli is lovely with a pretty good selection of food. I needed a quick meal after hiking on the trails in Skyline Boulevard and thought Id try something from their deli. I got the Tri tip sandwich and it was delicious; they were generous with the meat and vegs in it and gave me the option to have it toasted. Great service as well, will definitely come back again.

Will not be going back after finding mold in my coconut bread. I wanted a snack with my coffee and some other essentials so I decided to stop by Robert’s to see what they had in the bakery section and I was highly disappointed. The bread was stale, for what I paid it was horrible quality, and to top things off it was moldy at the bottom. The customer service is atrocious and they only care about robbing the town of woodside with low quality over priced products.

The store is nice but they completely botched the Thanksgiving meal I preordered. I had my husband pick it up thinking I could trust the deli to deliver the correct order and I'm pretty upset about it because it was a cool $250. For example I ordered a quart of mashed potatoes with onion and sage gravy, and they sent him home with a $18 quart of mushroom gravy that will go untouched. They did not include the entire quart of mashed potatoes I ordered. :((((((

They still use cancerous oil to cook their prepared foods. While their breaded fish was ok the rest of the meal was sub par. Also the staff is very incompetent.

For your cooked food and your turkey and gravy. Do you use any seed oils in there? They cause inflammation and cancer and diabetes. It inflames up your whole body. Can you make sure to eliminate that from your store and foods you make

Such a gem of a place, Robert’s market in nestled in the town of Woodside California just about a hop skip and a jump away from Filoli. This market is a high quality market with high quality meats, cheeses and grocery. They have a wonderful delicatessen “ they actually had prosciutto di Parma” $28 a lb. Wifey and I got 1/4 of the prosciutto, tiramisu, Keylime tart, A tri-tip steak sandwich, and a pastrami with coleslaw on light rye bread “ added the garlic aïoli and swapped out the Pepper jack cheese for Swiss” such a yummy sammi! They also have a huge selection of wines. If you are in the area, do stop in you won’t regret it.

Was in the area visiting a friend and stopped by to pick up a few items for our get together. Parking was a bit of a hassle but once inside the shop was clean, organized, and offered a great variety of products. They had everything I needed and more. Definitely a convenient stop if you're prepping for a small gathering or just picking up a few things.

This is a small local grocery. It has a fantastic meat market with a butcher like the old days. They stock gourmet items. The small area that has bakery items are delicious, especially the pies, cakes, & breakfast breads. Like lemon poppyseed bread, banana bread, and morning glory bread. It is the local woodside store, but you can expect to pay top dollar for that convenience. The speciality items are so good i don't mind paying for them. I don't think i would buy standard milk and eggs type items unless it's a time crunch and i could go a few miles further. I highly recommend going and finding your specialty item you can't find anywhere else. The quality is excellent.

Great prepared foods!!! Slow service but it's off the beaten path. Kinda feels like a perfect pit stop off a great road trip. Great place to stop and make a picnic on your way out to the beach or a hike. Aisles are cramped and tight but stocked with great stuff. You gotta look in every nook and cranny of the store. You don't know what you might find.

Been here a few times at the deli and service was pretty good but I came to buy some water today and the customer in front of me and behind me both got "hello! How are you?!, thank you so much etc. " no greeting for me, no thank you, he wouldn't even look me in the eye. Hate to say it but seems like this particular cashier may have certain folks he likes more than others.

I liked the cauliflower salad and the black bean and edamame salad. I also got the veggie sandwich which was underwhelming. I wish they had a picture of the bread options. The 7 grain bread is just a small square sandwich bread that got too soggy but the French bread/white bread from someone else's sandwich looked way better like a big baguette. They were very busy and slow and took a long time to make our sandwiches.

I've been to both locations of Robert's Market and I adore them! It's an adorable market with a huge variety of health food, fresh produce, wine and lots of other groceries. I especially love the deli. I got a grab an go vegan wrap here as well as pumpkin tiramisu that was delicious. My cashier was exuberant and helpful. The staff seem to genuinely love their job! While I was here there happened to be a complementary wine tasting. The man hosting was very friendly and knowledgeable and the wine was incredible. I'd highly recommend this market for a snack/meal or just a grocery shopping trip.

Most of the items they have are pretty run of the mill but I would recommend checking out the meat and seafood section. I saw Australian Wagyu ribeye, gigantic scallops and prawns and a wide selection of dry-aged meats available. I think that is where this market really shines. By the way, it is historic too, having been around since the 1800s. I think you'll leave with at least something interesting!

Nice upscale market. Parking lot is a bit of a pain. Lots of selection. Convenience comes at a price though and some items are outrageously expensive. I got some meat from the butcher section and it was very good. Definitely recommend the meat here. Service was good.

Love this place! So happy that they have another location. I love they have varieties of food here. Fresh meat all around. Great produce selection. I came here mainly for their pie. I got their cherry pie and it was delicious! Heat it up or eat as it is and it is simply the best! The staff here and friendly. I would definitely come here again!

Such a sweet little market packet full of high quality foods. Beautiful meat department, however when I called to get Prime cuts for the holiday I was told the best beef they sold was a Choice grade, "You won't know the difference." Something to keep in mind. The prepared food selection is huge and the deli is always ready to make a custom sandwich for you. If only there was a nice spot to eat outside. It's on a busy intersection surrounded by parking. It's not uncommon to see horses, bicyclists and walkers.

Formal Complaint Regarding Discriminatory Treatment and Improper Conduct Leadership at Robert's Store and the San Mateo County Clerk's Office Dear Robert's Store Management and San Mateo County Clerk, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding an incident that occurred on November 3, 2024, at approximately 4:30 PM PT, at your store location in San Mateo County. During this visit, I was met with unacceptable treatment by both the store staff and a responding sheriff's officer, who appeared to act inappropriately and with bias. Upon entering the store to purchase a quick lunch, I asked an employee about the availability of a restroom. The employee informed me that there was no restroom available. I responded by noting that California and local business regulations typically require establishments to provide restroom access. At this point, the store manager, identified as Jose, appeared and abruptly directed me to leave the restroom area. He added that he would call the sheriff if I did not comply. I invited him to do so, expecting the sheriff to approach the matter with fairness and respect for my rights as a customer. Unfortunately, when the sheriff arrived, I was deeply disappointed by the manner in which he handled the situation. Rather than mediate impartially, the sheriff appeared to side with the store staff in what I felt was an instance of clear favoritism. He informed me that if I returned to the store, I would be arrested -- a threat I found to be excessive, intimidating, and unfounded, especially considering that my only action was to inquire about restroom access. This entire interaction left me feeling deeply disheartened and disrespected, not only as a customer but as a proud American who has served this nation honorably for over a decade. The sheriff's dismissive attitude toward my concerns suggested an element of discrimination that should not be present in any public service interaction. A bystander, Mr. Tim from Woodside, witnessed the incident and has offered his contact information should further testimony be required. I am now bringing this matter to your attention and intend to escalate it through appropriate legal and administrative channels, as I believe that both Robert's Store staff and the sheriff's conduct were inappropriate, discriminatory, and inconsistent with the professional standards expected in San Mateo County. Please review the store's video footage from this date and time to see that I conducted myself respectfully throughout my visit. This experience was not only a personal affront but also a violation of customer service standards and public trust. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and the necessary steps to address and rectify this situation. Sincerely, Sheffield M. Zada

Super expensive, super beautiful market. I think that the deli staff are a little more grumpy than the rest of the staff in the store, it's also the busiest part of the store. Their deli is really well stocked with premade items and they also have made to order sandwiches. Don't forget to take a number for service. We love picking up a sandwich and going for a walk/hike at one of the many nearby trails.

The deli counter here was shockingly busy at 11 on a week day. My turkey sandwich was good but petite.

Costumer service is not the best when it comes to phone calls. I called asking to see if they had something in stock 1/17/25. The lady that answer the phone said "are you serious I'm at stand I can't leave" so I asked can you try and get someone that can help she said "let me try to get some one else I'll put you on hold, but if I loose just call back" and just like that no one answered

Roberts Market is wonderful. It has quality items, and the employees are really friendly and helpful. It's also in an amazingly quaint location. I highly recommend trying their bakery items. The croissants are delicious. I particularly LOVE the blueberry muffin with a sugary top and the amazing blackberry cheese danish!!! They are the BEST I've ever bought in a grocery store. I highly recommend Roberts Market!!!

Great food selection but the staff always moving slow and engaging in conversation with customers even though the substantial size of the line . If you order in the deli be ready to wait and have enough time since it will take a while .

A neighborhood market, lots of little speciality items, small selection but fresh lookong produce , good selection of wine, extensive butcher selections. Nice service from workers, white shirt and tie, reminiscent of a time past. For Market solid 4 star My main experience here and 3 stars is for getting deli items or snacks. I have gone many times recently.. Sandwiches seem very hit or miss. The good: Chicken cordon blue (consistently yummm) Gobbler Thanksgiving sandwiches in November Hot rosemary chicken Otherwise Tri Tip sandwich was tough chewy and just not that good Tuna salad was runny and practically a celery and mayonnaise salad Had a few other misses with bread or meat not tasting the best Price is good, around 9 to 12

Deli Good. Fresh Food Daily. Good Customer Service. Pricey Parking is difficult, Not conducive for Handicapped Customers

Very good deli sandwiches!! I grew up coming to Roberts market as a kid and it's still the same... they always have made me a great sandwich and the only downfall as you have to take a number sometimes there is a long wait... I highly recommend!!!

After visiting Filoli we tried to get a late lunch at Bucks on a sunny Sunday afternoon but it was mobbed. Plan B was a picnic lunch from Roberts. It did not disappoint. Friendly engaging service matched the fresh ingredients for the sandwiches and drinks.

This place has a good selection of food. I thought I would stop by to get a snack before heading to the mountains to visit a friend. Unfortunately what kind of soured that experience was the cashier that kind of stinks like racism or severe sudden depression on part of the waitress? didn't say anything to me, slid my sandwich down the bagging area (too rough for just a sandwich) without handing it to me, and talked to the other customers behind me. I'm all for customer service, answering questions, but a "hello" and "thank you" go a long way with me. I think that goes a long way with most people. The last lady before me, she says "see you later hun!" Tsk. Felt out of place. It's ok though, she's not gonna stop me.

Went today and asked for a Ham with Jack and all the fixings. Ended up with a thin layer of meat and a little cheese. Took an amazingly long time for them to make my over priced under nourishing meal. Was told by the cashier that they fired all their staff recently and were having issues. Another owner trying to skimp and wring out every last penny from the business. Never again!!!

Love Roberts their deli foods and bakery are pricey but they have soft serve yogurt! their dried pasta selection is awesome and the prices are great service is fast too

Roberts is a nice smaller neighborhood market in Woodside. Produce is always fresh, with a good deli selection. It reminds me of the neighborhood markets you find all over the the UES and UWS in NYC. However, it's no where as grand and fun as Balducci's in NYC or Draeger's in San Mateo. Nonetheless, if you're in Woodside, or nearby, you can opt for one of their specialty sandwiches at the deli, or do your grocery shopping here, if you want a change from your run of the mill Safeway.

Spend $50 on lunch and not able to use the restroom. Not only that, but he spoken to so rudely about it. Been coming here for years-- local soccer coach. Sad to see such terrible customer service. The bathrooms have always been open to the public.

I ordered a sandwich from the deli and immediately after I ate, I got sick. I had noticed the hygiene behind the counter in the deli area is nasty at best, I should have trusted my instincts. Never again use the deli....yikes.

Roberts Market is not a chain, although this is a sister location to the one in Portola Valley. Yes, it is a gourmet grocery store, and yes, some of the prices can bite. At the same time, they carry a variety of unique and local products one is unlikely to come across at a Safeway. I look at it as an option, not as your regular grocery shopping destination. If this was my only option, I might have sang to a different tune. As a supplemental location, having one more in the area is just wonderful. We like to drive around on the weekends, easily making 200mi trips both north and south - I guess that's what nowadays is called a staycation - loved doing it way before the term was invented during the recession when gas prices used to be through the roof. So when out and about, this Roberts market in Woodside is perfectly situated for a quick stop when taking the 84 to the coast. Whether you're heading to or from there, come by and explore their deli counter, cooked meals, sushi, or whatever else your desire. They have large variety of locally baked artisan breads, many unique shelved items like olive oils and vinegars, huge variety of cheeses, good dairy section, locally grown fruits and veggies and other produce, and most basics as well.

I LOVE this market. They have real quality pre-made food that's also super yummy. It's not a convenient store for me to visit but I mainly come because they are a Dandelion Chocolate retailer that's closest to me. A lady always needs good quality chocolates in the house for when the time of the month comes around, ya'll. Gents... take note, too! If you want your lady not to PMS, chocolate is the answer. ;) They have many local grocery food that we can't get at Safeway, Whole Foods, or Molly Stones, and we really appreciate that. Their store is nestled in a very small town area of Woodside, has the appearance of today's old west. It was the week of Valentine's Day, so very festive with their offerings near the cash register. It was about 6pm so not too busy, but almost all the cash registers were open, so it was a swift checkout no line. During my visit I discovered their pumpkin bread and premade salads -- best one I've had from the grocery stores. They had yummy looking prepackaged dinners. Average $10 each. Not bad at all. Will have to go back to try others.

The deli people aren't nice. We were afraid to eat our sandwich. They spoke spanish, looked back at us while making the sandwich 3 times while laughing. Definitely didn't make our day! So sad that it used to be a favorite destination!

I just happened to be driving through this neck of the woods and saw Roberts Market and decided I had the time to peruse and see what it is all about. Roberts is a small but high end store that caters to the rich and shameless of the horsey Woodside elite community who do not care what the price of auto gas is. They do have an amazing selection and full service wine, meat and produce departments that rivals Dreager's and other high end markets with the prices to match. I perused the isles and was amazed at the varied selection and interesting price points for common items vs. luxury or gourmet items. No bargains to be found here! I did find two small items to purchase. So if budgeting is not part of your grocery shopping spree this place is for you!

After shopping here for 20+ years, I'm sad to report Robert's Market in Woodside has had a substantial decline! Twice in the last few months I purchased chicken only to find out a few days later it was rancid. Smelled so nasty it was was hard to believe that when I bought it the meat packer didn't notice. A week ago, I opened a fresh tub of parmesan cheese and found pea sized chunks of blue mold throughout. Two days ago, I saw one of them men in the room behind the meat packing area consume food, wipe his mouth with his hand, then turn around and serve customers without washing his hands. That same day I bought blueberry muffins that tasted like Twinkie's - spongy, overly sweet, not at all what I was hoping for! We pay top dollar for groceries here, and since covid started, prices have skyrocketed! I don't know what is going on, or why they have declined so much. Hope this prompts them to make some changes.

A nearby place to stop on the way to Filoli historic site, with a wide array of foods and many payment options accepted. Lines are not very long in general. I remember this grocery store as distinct from many others fondly. Magazines and Papyrus brand of greeting cards and postcards are available here in different sections from the food. Firewood and lighters, matches etc. are also next to the leftmost door next to the cash register. They don't have a cheese counter but they do have a butcher counter, baked goods counter, and coffee in thermoses on the right side of the bakery counter. I heard that they had a wine consultant but I can't confirm if that's the case.

I came to Roberts Market a few weeks ago to try their sandwiches/hot food since I've heard so many good things. We ordered a few items to go: -Tri-Tip Sandwich (Southwest Tri-Tip, Pepper Jack Cheese $7.50, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mz2Af5utISvAFiyWNvzJNQ?select=l2RlNuZxRjYvtkw_5_dOvQ#dafh3bp1dbthKBu9AP1u8g): Pretty good, but not amazing. There wasn't enough filling for the size of the bread, so I ended up having to toss some of it rather than eating the bread on its own. -BBQ Pork Rib (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mz2Af5utISvAFiyWNvzJNQ?select=l2RlNuZxRjYvtkw_5_dOvQ#HOJe2TdWdAMLy3YWJ4Q5VA): This looked amazing through the glass window, but was on the bland and dry side. I'm glad I only got a small piece. SKIP! -Toscano Panini (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mz2Af5utISvAFiyWNvzJNQ?select=l2RlNuZxRjYvtkw_5_dOvQ#tDMxpno6M3Phz1mGNyjhQA): Ick. This sandwich was SUPER SALTY, and I just didn't enjoy it at all. I couldn't taste anything else over the taste of the salt, and threw most of it out. SKIP! Not only was the food lackluster, the service at the deli was really slow, even though they had 5-6 people working. It just didn't seem very efficient, and people were walking from one side of the counter to the other trying to make different sandwiches, and running into the other workers. All of the customers had to wait almost 10 minutes for their orders to be taken, then almost another 10 minutes to get their sandwiches. Pretty ridiculous, in my opinion. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to look around the grocery store since I had to wait so long for my sandwiches (I stupidly assumed they were be really quickly and just stood by the counter waiting). In any case, I doubt I'll be back to Roberts. Their parking lot was also on the small side and it was hard to find parking.

This place is lovely. Lots of stuff all rolled into a little store package. The service was great and offered help making a wine selection. We'd already been drinking so we weren't too picky. We liked the cheese selection and everything we brought home except for the $5 little square carrot cake. Just dry and sad.

It's high-end market with high-end stuff and high-end prices. It's in a high-end part of the Bay Area, what can you say. And a beautiful area, too. So, it's a good stop for sandwiches and other things you might want on a picnic somewhere near there or on the way to the coast. I will say that the first time I had a sandwich there, a BLT, it was the best BLT I'd ever had. Delicious bacon, lots of it. I couldn't wait to come back and get another one. A few years later, I did. The second time it was not a good sandwich at all. Poor quality bacon, and not lots of it (I guess this time thankfully), too much mayo, just a bad, cheap-tasting sandwich. Maybe it depends who makes your sandwich. Anyway, next time I'll order something else.

I love browsing and shopping at Roberts Market. One of the highlights of Woodside and whenever I visit, I love to drop in and see what's in stock. Fresh produce. Delicious deli. Impressive wine selection. Small and fancy. Friendly staff.

Super awesome staff and store! They went out of their way to help me find a favorite product that wasn't on the shelf and I didn't know the exact name for. Prices sometimes are over the top but great service costs money, so I get it. Thank you!

There is no doubt that Roberts has the best food,meat, deli, produce. I grew up in Redwood City went to WHS and worked at the Store when I was in High School. That being said, I joined the Army when I was 23 and served this Great Country for 20 years. I retired and wanted a job to fill my time and be part of a very fond memory of my youth. I've known the Robert's for the better part of my life. So when my fiancé got sick with - ALL Leukaemia and was admitted to Stanford for a month or so treatment. I reached out to Christine, who runs the day to day of things, and see if I could modify my schedule so I can support and help take care of my better half. I can tell you that in All my life I've never been treated so poorly and how dare I ask for anything. I was terminated with so much as a phone call from the leadership. So if you ever call and put on hold and hear that recording, that says they are a family store and values ... don't believe everything you see and hear. Now I'm not disgruntled cause I'm retired and have a pension. But I do believe in calling out a company or person who is just not nice and has bad buisness practices. Shame on you Roberts Market. 4-15-2019 ... update! I have yet to receive my finial check for a 40 hour week. So the date is from the original date of the post! " Way to go to Christine, you just proved my theory "

Robert's deli in Woodside provided wonderful service and delicious tea sandwiches for a tea party I was hosting. Yesenia was so very helpful in explaining choices of tea sandwiches and arrangement of the trays. She provided me with the deli phone number so I could check my order the day before. The trays were beautiful and everyone loved the delectable choices of tea sandwiches: salmon, cream cheese and dill; egg salad; curried chicken salad; smoked chicken; and cucumber and cream cheese! This is a great place for tea sandwiches!

We popped in here for an impromptu lunch, which because they have no seating outside, we ate in our car. We got from their deli department their turkey sandwich on soft focaccia with spinach and pesto/tomato--super simple without cheese. The flavors exploded with very high end quality fresh ingredients, smoked turkey breast sliced and folded into fresh bread, it's a ample portion, more than good enough for the two of us to share. We got a hibiscus/rose tea from their refrigerated section. This is a tremendous little market full of interesting foods--their meat and seafood department, deli, drinks ... they have several pots of fresh coffee and smoothies. The weird thing is their parking lot states a maximum of 20 minute parking--whaaat??? 20 measly minutes? In a shop like theism I could easily browse for half an hour before deciding what I want to buy. The limit seems stingy, but maybe that's a Woodside thing, as paradoxical as it might sound. If passing by, I'd go here again to check out what else they have and especially if I was heading home, and able to immediately refrigerate stuff. Check it out, it's worth it.

As usual, the sandwich I had was phenomenal! Tri-tip and swiss on sourdough roll . . . Just the right amount of mustard & mayo onion tomato. The tri-tip was just so tender and full of flavor! Extremely satisfying! I have been going there for sandwiches for years and for the first time I brought my daughter with me. She thoroughly enjoyed her tri-tip sandwich also! Win-Win!

Great sandwiches if you're in the area. I ordered a turkey bacon avocado sandwich on a sourdough roll and the turkey was so fresh as If it were leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner. Since we were going to have a backyard gathering with the BF's family, we picked up some wine and cheese. They definitely had a unique great selection of cheeses and wine, I even found some truffle gouda, my fave. Although one of the staff who may of been their wine expert, seemed to have gave my bf and myself extra attention while we were browsing through their lil wine section, which I found kind of rude since we were minorities in their store and definitely did not look like their typical boogie clientele. Also after the "help" he gave us picking out some wines, he still had the nerve to "stalk" us when we went to a different aisle to check out their liquor selection. And no I was not paranoid because other customers who were also browsing through their wine did not get the attention that we did. We ended up buying 3 bottles of wine, my fave truffle gouda cheese, snacks and our sandwiches and prob spent close to $200. Which I kind of regret, because why should we give business to someone that thinks Asians who dressed casually are going to steal alcohol. The bf loves their sandwiches so maybe we'll be back for those, but I'd rather shop at other specialty stores where I'm welcomed and not judged because of my color.

Today I foolishly left my "paper clip" money holder at a checkout stand. And thankfully to the honesty of one of the staff members, they put it in a safe place until I could come back and identify my self. Thank you very much Roberts Market, and my gratitude goes to the staff member who turned it in. It's nice to know that honestly still exists. Kudos to all... And Happy New Years

Roberts Market's meticulously stocked wine department may be one of the best kept secrets in Woodside. Well, that and the list of local residents who gave money to Donald Trump's Presidential election campaign. Not only are there hidden gems and coveted bottles for sale, there also are some great deals under $20. And 10% off retail with any 6 bottle purchase (wines on sale aren't reduced any further, but they do count towards the 6 bottle total). Total Wines and More may have got them beat on sheer volume, K&L in terms of a superb real-time, keyword searchable inventory, and Weimax in terms of personalized service and intimate wine tasting options, but in terms of pure quality of the wines on offer, Roberts reins supreme. There are some real treasures to be found stacked on the shelves, buried in the stacks of wine boxes, and stashed away in the refrigerated section, especially if you're into local Santa Cruz Mountains and other esoteric California wines. The Old World wine offerings, especially French, are quite impressive, too, but my locavore sensibilities cause me to gravitate towards West Coast wines produced by interesting winemakers whose vineyards, tasting rooms, and cellars I might possibly be able to visit as part of a day trip of weekend getaway. Bandol and Alto Adige, while tempting destinations, are just a bit too big of a carbon footprint away for me to justify traveling there anytime soon. The Cienega Valley, Yorkville Highlands, Pritchard Hill, or the North Fork of the Yuba River, on the other hand: those, my friend, are road trip adventures just waiting to happen. On a recent visit to pick up a few bottles of age-worthy wine produced by Clos Saron, a somewhat mysterious, word-of-mouth microwinery hidden in the Sierra Foothills of Yuba County, north of Sacramento, I also couldn't help but zero in on a few other California favorites that helped me bring my total haul to the 6-bottle discount threshold. These were wines I already knew but was surprised to find on the shelves at such fair prices, either because they were older vintages no longer for sale at the wineries, or because they're limited production and rarely make it to retail from the wineries, who prefer DTC sales in their tasting rooms or through club memberships. The best approach here is to enter the store with a vague sense of what you're looking for, then ask for help and spend some quality time scanning the shelves. Like that great used bookstore you once frequented before the rise of online shopping, or the flea markets in Paris, Prague, or Berlin you marveled at while spending a semester abroad in college, the wine section here rewards a bit of perseverance, and a willingness to Google an unfamiliar word on your smartphone. What's dry-farmed, old vine Negrette, exactly? Where in the heck IS the Cienega Valley, anyway? Yorkville Highlands Rhône blends? The makeup of the 2017 Frog's Leap rosé, "La Grenouille Rougante"? (If you guessed 97% Valdiguié and 3% Carignan, you're right!). How about Chappellet's 2015 Mountain Cuvée? Well, that one's on the bottle, at least. And good luck figuring out the makeup of Clos Saron's 2008 Black Pearl (trust me: you'll never guess this one right, even if you ARE a somm). Sure, there are other reasons to shop at Roberts. The meat counter is great, as are the offerings of things like fresh bread, coffee, honey, chocolate, and the like. You could make this a one stop shop, and many Woodsiders do. But not me. My farmers' market vendors, coffee roasters, bee keepers, and local ranchers wouldn't be too pleased with me if I did that. But when it comes to weird, wonderful, and well-aged California wines, Roberts had me at "Old Man's Reserve Syrah? Ah, yes. We do have that one around here somewhere ..."

Love the black trip tip, great selection of wine and cheese... on the high end price but it's expected The staff is very friendly and helpful.

There's an old Hispanic woman in the deli department and she put barely any meat in the sandwiches, I try to avoid her but the other clerks don't help either, so frustrating, food quality is good but that old Latino woman needs to treat customers better, we are the reason she has a job.

Quaint little market 1/2 mile off I280. Excellent for groceries, picnicking, a snack, or morning coffee. I stop in on my commute down 280S a few times a month. If you're looking for quality products and great food don't miss Roberts Market.

Great grocery store. I can get in and out in just a few minutes. Robert's has wonderful high end meats as well
