Benton Market

Great little corner store. Any time I have been making something and realized I was missing an ingredient, they have had it. Amazing. They Carry organic milk and the occasional random produce, potatoes limes onions and such.

Best ever! I love having a market within walking distance. I especially appreciate the fact that they carry more than the average convenient store fare, with semi-​local brands like Lagunitas and Amy’s. Once you start to ignore the teenagers on bikes/​meth heads that harass you outside of the store, you’ll be going here more often than you would ever expect. I can’t say I would go out of my way to come here, but the whole point of a convenience store is that it’s convenient, right? Also, be wary that they charge 50 cents if you use your credit card… they don’t always tell you or include it in the price on the register.

I really appreciate neighborhood market. I am always greeted by a friendly familiar face and sometimes I call to see if they have an item like … a can of chili beans, milk or rocky road ice cream (my fav) and Depak always goes to look for me. Sometimes its really last minute and he makes sure my boyfriend brings it back home with the beer or what ever he originally went there for. I used this service a lot when I was pregnant and having late night cravings, I can’t count how many jerky sticks I went through, Yeesh! Plus, sometimes I ride my bike and I was told that its not good to leave it outside incase it gets stolen so the clerk holds the door open for me to bring it in, which is nice to know they are looking out for my personal property. The store has been there since I was a small child and I remember the same friendly manner the clerk had then and seeing how the clerks behave now makes it a familiar, welcoming environment and a comforting place knowing that I will continue to get the same treatment for many more years. The clerks are always the same which tells me that there is a low turn over rate meaning that the owners value their staff and the staff likes working there. I like to contribute to this type of local business where its personal, friendly, constant and familiar. I might pay a bit more for a block of cheese or a can of soup but I know the next time I need something in a pinch that they got it for me, along with the extra case of beer, smokes and whatever else my heart desires and it will be there with a smile. Thanks Benton Market!

Awesomely convenient, with a nice beer selection.

Back in the olden days, I used to live a block from this market. I came here often to get all my nightly poisons.
Pro — It’s a store with stuff near where I lived
Con — It isn’t ²⁴⁄₇
If god decides to punish me and send me back to Santa Rosa, I would come here if it was really convenient.

I love my neighborhood market.
Good for cigs, booze, late night snacks etc. Open til eleven.
