Mollie Stone's Markets - Palo Alto, California

The only thing that really impressed me in this store is the availability of my favorite wine, "Silver Oak". It is a great wine! Recommend!

This is a super friendly and comfy local store. They have lots of variety, near-expiry deals on meat (I got a $3.50 steak cut once that had a best buy date two days away - amazing!), and a nice collection of pastries and cakes. The prices on daily items are a little expensive, but they have a wide selection. They also have MASSIVE vegetables.

This is a very nice neighborhood market with lots of organic and authentic food products options. Prices are astronomically high, but I belive that is pretty much established here in Palo Alto, CA. The fruits and veggies are fresh and the store is not too crowded. You always find what you look for and there's someone to help you most of the time. I highly recommend this grocery store to old palo alto neighbors and other folks in the area. Let's support local businesses more than corporate giants.

Beautiful grocery with very good produce and specialty chocolates. Thats all I need for lasting happiness. It has a nice friendly vibe from all the employees as well. Would highly recommend!

Found this MS by happy accident. Much smaller than the one I am used to, in Burlingame. (For people who have never shopped at a MS, just know; they are very high priced). Hungry for lunch, I salivated over thoughts of Hot Foods, Gourmet Sandwiches, Fresh Baked Pizza, Salad Bar, etc.. I decided on soup & salad. Unfortunately, the options were very minimal, (and for some odd reason; the arugula and Caesar Salad were with the hot foods). Everything was pretty fresh, although the Spring Mix was wilted. It was just not the sprawling salad bar that I was used to. I also picked up a small Shitake/Portobello Mushroom soup. The soup was very tasty and my salad was good. But I probably won't be back.

I love this place and grew up getting all sorts of high quality foods from them.

Unfortunately, though the quality is still excellent, the prices are obscene. Especially on Instacart, it's almost comical. Babybel cheese that comes in those little wheels with the red wax sheathes? Priced at $1.26 per wheel, or $7.60 for a little mesh sack of 6!

Very good quality but frequently under-staffed and very pricey. Orange-juice machine brilliant, but not entirely reliable. Got snarled at once over replenishing it. Great location and ample parking. Very clean and neat. Fair wine selection and above average deli.
March 2023 update: Lot's more help visible. Courteous and obliging. Perhaps just my impression, but the drinks section is better stocked if not expanded.

[2024 Edit: butcher section, cheese section, cakes/pies... pretty much where I go]

[2023 Edit: beer, check the date -- I got a case of 90-day old out of the chiller, I thought I'd shaken them but they were just old and foamy]

Good butcher section -- good cheese selection: I don't know wine but seems good enough particularly the box wine selection
