Great fruits and vegetables for the area. nice no frills spot with friendly staff and a good selection. My go to shopping spot, way better than trader joes, whole foods, and neighboring stores. Best avocados that I've ever had. Their produce is actually ripe! Most of it you can eat the same day instead of having to wait a whole week. Of course carrying produce that is ripe to eat same day runs the risk of getting a slightly overripe fruit once in awhile, but it's worth it.

Piedmont Grocery's less well-known sister has a great array of Asian spices and hard-to-get items, and a very helpful staff ("We don't have chili bean paste, but take the black bean and garlic sauce and mix in some siracha or any chili spice and it'll be fine.").

Amazing! Stopped in for the first time last week and was surprised at the organic selection and all the vegan products they have--wow! The owner talked about willingness to order produce another customer was looking for. Very helpful and friendly. I got the best tofu-yu brand tofu in pesto and black pepper-garlic, omg so good! Locally made and the seasonings are made in the tofu not just marinated on the outside. Glad to support this business that seemed family owned. :) 👍🏼 great selection! Huge chocolate section including vegan, dairy free. Large gluten free options as well.
