This place has a lot of great alcoholic drinks that are either hard to find at other stores or I have never seen before. It’s a easy walk from the park to the store for snacks and what not when there are concerts on the weekend in the grove. The only bad part about this place is the asshole that works at the register. No hello, no how are you, just a scowl. He didn’t ask for my ID which is odd because I’m still 21 so I young enough to be questioned.

I went to Village Market because Cup O’joes was closed and I NEEDED coffee after New Years! Why not give another chance in the New Year? Well, the owner wasn’t as clingy(good) and he certainly doesn’t know the difference between Capaccino(spelled wrong) and a Latte, but whatever. The coffee service machine thing-a-ma-bob, had good coffee and good HOT hot chocolate. It made the walk along the Cardinet Trail beautiful. So, I will allow my children to go in there again and will be sure to visit their booze section for Concert in the Park. Willing to give their Indian Food a try when I have time on my hands, but not willing to eat their hard bread.(Did I mention I miss Canesa’s being nearby, with their soft, amazing bread and tomato salad!)

This is a great store, and have been a customer since my childhood in the 90’s. The owner and his family are the best. As for the two negative feedbacks — ignore … «Deal with the mess, that’s your job»… really? Douche? Really… Nice review… thanks for wasting the English language. Yes, of course they follow the kids around in the store… Guess what — kids in Clayton(while a great city — I love it) is not immune to shoplifting, and some like to steal — which is the market’s issue to deal with. This happens all the time, especially after school gets out. As for prices — uh, yeah… it is expensive to have a business in Clayton, so they need to charge more. It’s not Costco, or even Safeway. Wake up people. Give this place a chance and your business.

Owners are greedy douches. They also made a big deal about me pouring me and my kids slurpee, because he was apranoid about a mess… Guess what douche its a friggin market, deal with the mess your still getting paid. He also wants more than a $ 5.00 purchase to use the ATM or CC, I just left all my crap in there and walked out, what a piece of shit store.

Taking work home sucks. Drinking an ice cold bottle of Harp makes it bearable. A 3 minute walk from from front door is the Village Market. Besides a huge selection of beers/ales etc, there are the basic grocery staples, emergency supplies for the household or significant other, ice cream, coffee, everything but the New York Times. That made me consider taking away one star, but Sam, the owner is such a nice guy I give him 5 stars. Check it out!
