Felipe’s Market

Excellent produce, great prices. Better than most farmer’s markets. Very well-​stocked. Definitely check it out. Yes, can be crowded sometimes but lines go quickly.

There are two good things about Sunnyvale — Dish Dash and Felipe’s market. This place has a great selection of produce at great prices. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the workers provide comic relief by whistling at every woman that walks in the door. Any guy that’s ever been to this part of America how gnarly the women are in Sunnyvale. I love this place!

Great prices, and a wiiiidee variety of vegetables! I was in and out of here pretty quickly and found everything I needed for Thanksgiving and got some really fresh stuff. Going to come here more often. I guess we got lucky on a weekday too because it wasn’t crowded at all!

Great market with fresh produce

I love this little market. They have fresh organic fruits and vegetables in a very reasonable price. It’s my to go place every week.

Bought some Guavas. I started eating one in the car. I took a bite and narrowly avoided biting into a juicy worm.
Reason for one star: took it back inside, showed it to the manager who said that I could get a refund. It was kind of traumatic tbh and I was expecting more than just a refund but I didn’t make a fuss and just left after giving the manager the half eaten Guava. Should have taken care of an aggrieved customer better. I mentioned to her that this is the sort of stuff you get sued over…

Pros:
+ The fruits and vegetables are of great quality. I would compare the quality to the organic farmer’s markets.
+ Prices are very low. I never come across so low prices in New Jersey and Virginia food markets.
+ Food diversity. You can taste several cuisines: French, Italian, Spanish, Ukrainian, Slovenian, Russian, Turkish, Latvian, etc.
Cons:
— It could be really crowded.

Produce is overpriced. And narrow aisles. I don’t mind narrow aisles found in typical produce stores and «international markets» but this place is too narrow.
Because of narrow aisles, you end up in very close proximity to other customers, and some of the customers smelled very bad! They were all from the same part of Europe (not sure which part of Europe) and I think they are are showering only once a week. For this reason, I’ll go elsewhere.

Management is outstanding. I love working with them. Carmen is always friendly, helpful and supportive. I definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Thank you!

I love Felipe’s. I just left with 3 full paper grocery bags (plus a cantaloupe that wouldn’t fit) for $ 32. All produce and 1 thing of shaved parmesan. There are some annoyances but I think it is worth the savings. I literally brag about how cheap the produce is there; like somehow, I found the best thing ever.
2 things you have to deal with here:
1) Everything is packed in tight so moving around the store is a pain and the employees frequently block areas to re-​stock. Take a deep breath and take your time.
2) You have to check the quality of your produce. Sometimes, when it is really cheap, you have to use it in a day or two. I just bought yellow grape tomatoes for 50 cents and I carefully checked the package for mold and bruises. I am pretty sure we have to eat them tonight or tomorrow but, I mean, they were 50 cents.

This place serves all your need for fresh produce. They have wide range of variety for leafy greens, herbs & other vegetables. Prices are reasonable. These veggies are fresh & cheaper than what I used to get at any Indian Grocery store in South Bay.
Lot of variety available in fruit aisle as well but I feel these are more expensive as compared to Costco. Berries were fresh as compared to any other store.
Other stuff available includes meat varieties, lot of local homemade stuff like chocolates & Candies.
They stock up most of the stuff on daily basis and /​or Tuesdays. Definitely recommend it for weekly fresh produce purchase (Salads, herbs & Veggies).

I went there just to buy cheap garlic and ended up with a shopping cart full of goodies and a very little hole in my wallet! I was not expecting the market to be so big inside as it is pretty unassuming from the outside, and I was somehow expecting it to be a «typical Mexican’ grocery shop. Surprise, surprise they cater products from many countries. You can even find the not so easy to get Spanish rice for paella. I love olives, all types, and you can find some brands here but not the variety you get at an Arabic or Persian store, plus the prices tend to be cheaper. Overall this store is great for fruits and veggies. I found a gigantic jackfruit, not that I eat that, but so photo friendly in its full splendor. Oh, get ready to fight for those aisles on a Friday after 6pm!

Shopped here a long time ago when I lived closer. Went back again the other day because I was in the area.
They still have great produce, and they have expanded a lot of their offerings with a small cheese and gourmet food section. Just getting a little pricey.
Parking is great. The place is small so try to come at odd hours.

Don’t understand the hype. On my newest visit I personally witnessed a worker filing up small strawberry baskets with ROTTEN strawberries and toping each with younger and bigger strawberries (those selling per pound). This small-​statued, mean-​spirited worker sporting a large mustache angrily responded when confronted: «why do you even care?»
Well, I care about Unilocalers. You — guys.
This explains why my fruit always looks good when in the store, just to look tired and old when brought home. On two different occasions I had to return my raisin bread because it was stale.

Not sure about you guys. But I’ll not be back. A business that goes to such extremes as cheating their own customers does not deserve my money or time.

I shop at «Filepe’s Market» often and I used to shop at «Foothill Produce» before. Both stores are under the same management.
Given the prices, the produce is good most of the time and sometimes not so good (like any other place). And the sales people are nice. But the management of the stores does not care about us, customers. They just don’t care!
«Foothill Produce» stores lots of cardboard boxes with produce (sometimes even empty) in the store blocking the isles that are already extremely narrow. Two shopping carts cannot pass the isle at the same time. It’s just rude and actually unsafe (what if something happens and people have to get out quickly — it would not be impossible!).
In this sense «Philippe Market» is better. But all their shopping carts need repair. They can only be moved by holding the front of the cart and dragging it behind you. Every time I am there I bring it up and it never gets fixed. Just fix the wheels! But no one cares about customer’s experience.
I am hoping that somebody who runs the stores will read it, if they care :)

I just visit this store for buying fruits and must say they are quite as fresh. So, thumbs up for that!
But apart from that, the store is really overpriced when it comes to other items and quality of dairy products is not as good!

1. always check your bill.
2. bad customer service. they lost my business.
3. always check the expiration date, especially on the imported items. I showed her the expired date, and asked if she has fresh ones, she said «no. do you want these?» …
enough said!

Great produce market for fresh fruits, veggies, dairy products, ethnic foods (and more) at great prices! I’ve been going to Felipe’s market for two years and their sister store Foothill produce for more than 7 years and their fruits and veggies are consistently very fresh.
They always have everything I need 99% of the time. Only 3 times I’ve been and they are out of something I need such as dino kale and plantains. Weekends are usually extremely crowded and the check out lines are long. Occasionally they have batches of overly ripe peaches, apples/​other produce. Otherwise I’d give them 5 stars.
Organic produce: good selection with much better prices than Whole Foods.

Buyer Alert ! Price Scamming. CHECK YOUR RECEIPTS. (See other Unilocalers reviews as well.)
a) The quality of the produce has gone downhill. The staff is constantly weeding through bad strawberry, blueberry boxes and produce. The product sold is way past its freshness date (stale) including oranges and pears.
b) The staff is extremely rude, including the manager. Just got overcharged for produce $ 4 more than the original cost of $ 1.50. for a total of $ 5.50 — Had to make a special trip for price adjustments with the original receipt and the produce. Waste of time and gas.

I heard about Felipe’s from my housemate and came here in search of ripe avocados after Costco, Trader Joe’s, and CJ’s didn’t have any that weren’t rock hard.
This is such a cute little mart just off El Camino with tons of fresh produce, I almost feel like I’m at a farmer’s market! I might even love this spot as much as I do The Milk Pail (comparing produce only as they don’t have much cheese or European products). My housemate only buys watermelons from here are we probably go through 3 melons a week!
Skip your local grocery chain next time you need some fruits or veggies and check them out, I think you’ll be quite happy with their quality, selection, and prices :)
