Savemore Market & Liquor

Great selection of healthy foods (and not so healthy if that’s your thing). And if they don’t have it just ask and they will get it for you. We can’t believe how lucky we are that out local convenience store is so well stocked and fun to visit.

Its a great spot to stop by for just about anything. Its a small convenience store with a coffee and deli shop inside. perfect for stopping by before morning commute and get lunch, they use Boar’s Head Deli meat which is Awesome!
Products range from a few exoctic selections, to tons of organic selections. including organic produce. Freshly delivered loafs of bread, Semifreddi’s my fave. Bear, wine, liquor, smokes of all sorts… alternative cleaning supplies. what doesn’t this place have?
Then again this is in the heart of Glenfield district, but don’t let that fool ya, the owners (family owned) are cool and fun to be around. plus a tv to check out the new and/​sport depending on what’s on. I’ve been coming hear since i was child and its only gotten better and better. like the coffee shop was a new addition.

Great neighborhood market. Fantastic selection for the size, they always seem to have what I’m looking for. Especially good for ice cream and other late night treats! Super friendly owners.

Very expensive beer $ 15 for a 6pack of domestic. Guy who makes sandwiches was smoking directly in front of the store. I can’t stand when I’m forcefully subjected to secondhand smoke. I won’t return.

Savemore fulfills all that one needs in a corner store. Omar, his son, and all of the other employees are always super friendly and helpful. For a small store, every area is pretty well stocked. They even do special ordering for you. like for my vegan marshmallows!

I just bought a egg croissant and a large coffee. Price was like 8 bucks, the sandwich was excellent. Very friendly service also. I will return.

I’ve lived in the Glenview for almost 30 years and Savemore Market is my go-​to place.
Omar and family are the BEST ! Always lots going on and they are all so very friendly.
I appreciate that they understand the neighborhood and not only have all the things you would expect from a small market, but also a bit more upscale items in their frozen foods and dry goods area. And fresh produce.
The serve Peets (coffee and lattes), so we always get our coffees at Savemore rather than the coffee shop next door.
The only drawback is that parking on Park Blvd can be a pain. But if you know the hidden places (or can walk), drop in and marvel at what a small market can provide. I only wish other small market owners would take note.
Okay, the second complaint is that they have never sold me a winning lottery ticket, either !!

I love the folks at Savemore. They are friendly and accommodating. When we go for our neighborhood walks we very often make that our destination, even if we are not going shopping. One evening we left for an evening walk and found ourselves at Savemore without any money. We needed one item for the morning. It was not a problem, they told us to take the milk and pay us later. Now that’s the Old Oakland I remember!

Love everything about this place. As a local resident, I’m proud to have this friendly, high quality establishment in my community. Food is fresh, selection is fantastic, and the upbeat feel and pride in ethnicity is so pleasant to experience. Keep up the great work team Savemore!

The best small grocery store I have ever been to. Their selection is always fresh and they stock really great products. A great place to stop on the way home or when getting off the bus. The staff is super friendly and their pride in their store really shows.

Really quite remarkable how much stuff they stuff in this little convenience store in the Glenview. And the stuff is often, good, high quality, organic, gluten-​free, vegan, all natural… whatever label you’re looking for. The chocolate selection is amazing: Tcho, Ritter (I swear they have every Ritter flavor made). They have a nice selection of local bakery breads. Didn’t even know there were chips made out of so many things and fried in so many oils available. The sandwichs made fresh at the deli are also good.

They have it all and then some! Great customer service and anything you may need or want! Excellent!

They have a diverse selection on their shelves and the people who run are are friendly. It’s actually quite impressive if you’re used to small hole in the wall groceries selling nothing but edible cancer & diabetes, but the prices, my god! They only get away with it because there is no other market for miles & there are certain items that I refuse to buy from them because it’d be an insult to how I value my own labor & hard earned dollars, not to mention my sensibilities & intelligence. It’s unarmed robbery in this joint, yo!

This rating is based mostly on price. I don’t mind paying 25% more at a market or convenience store but I won’t pay 75% above a supermarket and that’s often the pricing structure at save more. For example, orangejuice at Safeway is 3.50 and the same one at save more is 6.00. Too bad because they have good products but I’ll drive 10 more minutes and go to the supermarket to save 15 to 20 bucks.

Ever witness a friendly fight? Voices are raised, names are called, but insults are slung with a smirk? The guys that run this place are always in mid-​spat every time I walk in. It is so normal that you can tell that the non-​regulars by the fact that they react to the yelling. Not to worry, it is an integral part of the success of this place. Just go with it.
What matters is that Savemore stocks Acme bread, fresh produce, a decent selection of cheeses, and Ben and Jerry’s. It is a bit more expensive, but that is the cost of convenience… And it is totally worth it when you think about it. What would we do without our neighborhood grocery store?
Support your local businesses!

I had the worst experience in this local Market this morning. Ive been coming here for about 15 years. I have always bring my service dog in. I brought my service dog in today so I may get a few things I needed for breakfast. Once I found the right eggs I needed, I ask a patron who worked there if they had hot links. He is like, Im sorry we don’t. So, I was walking up to the register to check out with my food and another man who was stocking food yelled at me from down one of the aisles. He screamed to the top of his lungs «Get that dog out of here!!» «Its against the law to bring that mutt in here!» I said to him ‚“Please don’t be rude its a service dog. and I have been bringing her in for years”. He yelled very loud again in front of 5 other people in the store «No you didn’t!!!»
I said, ««Yes I have, and never had a issue, and she is a service dog.» Then he got super rude and smirked at me rudely and said «well you never said that». I told him that I didn’t need to .Its shows it on the leash and my wrist bracelet. He was rude and crude and very mean, and extremely disrespectful. I only go to this market because they have a lot of natural and good organic food that is safe for me to eat. Its near my home. But after today… I will never go there again. I will report with he did. When I cashed out, a nice lady helped me and was very polite, as if she knew that was a bad experience for me and my dog. I asked if that was the owner. and she said «Yes».
Hopefully no one else will have to endure with I did with that mean person.
I will put the word out.

How do they pack so many types of upscale chocolate bars and ice cream in one place?
This place also has your gluten /​vegan /​diabetic /​carob /​agave /​stevia dietary needs covered, just as well as whole foods, for about the same price.
Friendly staff and convenient hours. I’ll continue buying my cruelty free carob crunch here.

My true corner store down the road from my beloved Savemore, are purists when it comes to wine. They only sell cheap, cheap hooch. Think Bartles & James, Barefoot (every, I mean every flavor) and Boone’s Farm. So believe me when I say that I am forever grateful for it’s proximity to my home, and selection of wine, at Savemore. (Why doesn’t Oakland have a wine delivery service? Just saying…)
What goes best with wine? (Cue Bridget Jones-​esque comments). Chocolate! Although I’m not really a chocolate aficionado, I partake now and then. I will go out on a limb and say that Savemore has the best selection of chocolate in Oakland for a cornerstone.
Beyond the usual fare, they also have fresh bread delivered, some decent veggies/​fruits, and organic microwave meals. They obviously cater to the people who live in the hills and target the bougie Oakland scene. I cross over 580 and meander up the hill to partake in the fabulousness of Savemore, but they don’t shun me, they welcome me with open arms and feed my wine obsession.

Savemore is more than a convenience store.
there isn’t another grocery store close by.
it’s an one hour drive round trip (including parking, shopping) in any direction.
the deli uses boar’s head meat. sammies are $ 8ish
peet’s coffee (2,m) is better than next door’s…
–coffee blend changes daily.

Great beer section, and Boars Head cold cuts is what brought me in here.
The lack of recognition, from the clerk will keep me out.
Its as if i was buying from a robot, i dont think the cashier even made eye contact with me, might as well be a self checkout
