An excellent stop, one of a dying breed of old-school health food shop. Has real bulk bins to blend teas, whatever you want. It even had that vitamin, yeast smell that I remember when this was the norm for health food. Very clean, attentive and knowledgeable staff, prices were decent and lower than “whole paycheck.”

Great little natural food store that's been there for decades. Best for bulk grains etc, as well as supplements

WARNING watch out the price on what you buy because it's cheaper somewhere else. I normally buy probiotic capsules at health unlimited in Castro valley and i recently purchased them at foodmill Oakland because i buy other items at foodmill that don't have anywhere else. Foodmill $30.56 plus plus tax Health unlimited $12.75 plus tax

Great local store. Better selection on things like bulk foods than a lot of places. Their sesame cookies frozen are the best!

Does anyone else miss those plain peanut butter bars?Not really a fan of the peanut butter chocolate chip.I wish I can request a batch of those?Just Happy that food mill is still around years ago I would always stop in for the peanut butter bars

Vernail Sanders | Aug 22, 2021
The Food Mill | Aug 22, 2021

Hi Vernail, I'm glad you're a fan of the Peanut butter bars we used to make however the decision was made to combine the two slowest sellers into one and the combination of the two has made a much better seller. The smallest batch we can make of any of our bars is at around 60 packages. It's too bad more people didn't like them as much. Thank you for being a long supporter of The Food Mill. We really appreciate your patronage. Sincerely, Kirk W.

Hi Marja, Our water system is reverse osmosis. It is City water that goes through an extensive filtration process and finishes going through a UV light before it reaches your container. We have been using this system for about 25 years. It is a very clean tasting water. Try some in our mini dispenser next time you are in. Sincerely, Kirk W.
