Sunnymount Produce

Nice place but it is close with new owner Felipe

Sunnymount is closed. It is now Felipe’s.

The best farmer’s market, they had the freshest fruit and vegetable. The price is unbeatable.

Felipe’s Market bought Sunnymount Produce a few months ago.
It is nothing like Sunnymount as it has an extensive selection of imported products, most with no English labels so it is difficult to tell what the item is. Their produce is terrible… they have huge quatities of
fruit and vegetables of really bad quality… their avocados are particularly bad. The store itself is very crowded with bins –it is difficult to move around.
I miss Sunnymounts’ dependable quality, friendliness and clear aisles.

I like to come to Sunnymount Produce to purchase produce, especially seasonal items and when I’m unable to go to farmer’s market. Sales/​promotional prices offered on seasonal produce (Cherries, berries, etc) are quite good and often more reasonable than grocery stores!
There are quite a few bulk items in bins offered and charged by the pound, such as nuts, oats, candies, special types of flours, etc. It’s close to home for me and convenient. In general, their produce is fresher than some of the grocery stores, more seasonal products are available and it’s a great place locate rare fruits/​vegetables if I can’t make it to Whole Foods. I also like it when they carry plants, flowers and pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn, etc.
They carry Acme bread, Greenlee’s Bakery loafs (So good!), baked goods, Brianna’s & Girards salad dressings, unique crackers, pastas, sauces, etc.
There is a small section of lunch meats and cheeses, which include brie, parmesan, sliced cheddar, etc. Prices on these items are often similar, sometimes more than the local grocery stores. I only purchase them if I’m there and in need of them.
The staff is friendly and always greets you and offers assistance finding items and try to keep the checkout lines from getting to long. I’ve observed on more than one occasion a staffer come from stocking produce to open a register when the line is getting long. I like that as I dislike standing in line for a long time. They make a noticeable attempt to keep the floors free of fallen produce, which is needed for safety reasons as well as appearance.
Overall, I like Sunnymount Produce and find it convenient for certain items and like their prices on seasonal items. It is a good place to fill the void between the regular grocery store and farmer’s market.

I really like this place. When I first entered the store, I was in awe. I saw the produce almost glimmer (not literally). The produce managers were extremely helpful and they even taught me how to pick great fruit from the stand, outstanding.
Great cheese selection. They had my favorite: Brie and Gorgonzola.
When I got to the registers, I saw some gloomy faces, but I was mistaken. These people are extraordinary. All of them!

Farmer’s Market selection, freshness and prices with super market hours (7 – 7 every day). As I live near this place, it’s my go to for anytime I need produce. And the staff is very friendly as well.
The only drawbacks are that as it is locally grown produce for the most part, the quality can take a bit of a dip in the winter. And all the produce prices are way cheaper than grocery stores, but any grocery items are a little on the pricey side here.
But if you just go for the produce, as you should, not much to complain about here.

Excellent selection paired with excellent prices.
I only wish it were closer to home.

Pros: Friendly people. Convenient location. Good place to take a jog to if you need a goal when running.
Cons: Everything here is really pricey. Most of the fruits here could be had for much cheaper and fresher at a place down the road; Cj Olson Cherries near PF Changs.

I used to live within walking distance, but alas am no longer. I loved this place because I could get a ton of fruits and veggies and usually spend under $ 10! I loved their figs… about the same quality as the Farmer’s Markets but ½ as much. They also let me take an abundant amount of free boxes to use in my recent move from around the side, so I could just help myself.
My only complaints were they seemed to be out of tofu a lot, and once they were out of chives until the following morning.
The cashiers are friendly and quick/​efficient. It is always a pleasant experience going here.

yay, I am so glad I found Sunnymount. It is close to my place, parking is a breeze and the produce is FRESH. They don’t have a lot of produce but they cover all the pantry staples… and throw in some novelty stuff like purple potatoes and white beans. The fruits are very reasonably priced and taste delish. I bought some sweet oranges and they were super. They do have some organic produce thought a lot of it is not organic.
The also sell Freshly Squeezed Orange juice… YUM.

I would definitely go back, but it’s not Sigona’s in RWC. I would go back because it’s close to work, and if I need to pick up some veggies for dinner, I would think of going here 1^st instead of Lucky’s or Safeway. I bought some grapes (green), and omgsh soooo good!
The watermelon keeps calling my name, so I might have to stop by tomorrow to pick it up. For now, I am happy with my grapes.

I’ve been meaning to stop by Sunnymount Produce for a long time, and I finally made it there the other day. They have an good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables. All the usual items with some more exotic ones thrown in.
The cherries I picked up are fresh and a LOT less expensive than buying them at a traditional supermarket. I do wish, though, that they were Bing cherries, as those are my favorite. These are a more tart variety.
The most surprising section included dried fruit — peaches, dates, apples, apricots, etc. — set up in metal bins as if I were at a buffet. Not sure I loved that feature, since who knows what germs are in there? I saw people sampling many items…
They also have a small selection of pay-​by-​the-​pound goodies — gummy bears, nuts, etc.
I’m glad I visited so that I could finally see what it was all about, though I will probably stick to the supermarket or the local farmer’s markets for my produce needs.

Amazing on what they house inside a small space but so much stuff.
Produce, of course… cutest mini, apples, pears and banana
Bulk nuts and grains
Gourmet bottled and packaged items
Dried Fruit
Pleased at the bulk salad greens at $ 2.99 a lb, cheaper then Safeway
Breads
Cheeses
Pricey but some nice items.

My grandmother LOVES Sunnymount. Although her affection for Sunnymount is less intense than when I was growing up, I distinctly remember her being almost as excited to visit the store as she was to visit us.
She loved that the people who work there understand what they are selling and that if she had any question or couldn’t find something that she remembered seeing there previously they would tell her where it was or why it wasn’t there.
I loved going there with her and seeing the crazy variety of produce and stuff in the bulk bins. I ate many yogurt covered raisins, gummy bears, swedish fish, etc. Also, they have lots of stuff here that you simply can’t get at TJ’s or Safeway. For example, there is an amazing assortment of mushrooms. This used to fascinate me endlessly because at a young age I was cautioned not to touch the wild mushrooms growing in the backyard… yet they were selling, I swear, the exact same ones here!
If that wasn’t enough to sell you on Sunnymount, keep in mind that it’s a long standing local business and in shopping there you’re supporting Sunnyvale.

After several fine trips here, I decided to pick up a couple of watermelons. Fortunately they were on sale.
I get the melons home and chop the first one… it’s bad, inside is mush. Chop the second one… same story. A complete waste of $ 11.
Never forget. Never forgive. Never again, Sunnymount Produce.

For the same reasons I love Di Martini Orchard in Los Altos, I love Sunnymount produce. I used to work down the street from here and loved to «sample» the fruit and veggies. Great selection and always looks fresh and tastes like the cream of the crop! When I bring seedless red grapes home from this place, everyone comments on how incredible they are. I never realized how much of a difference it was to shop at a «produce market» as opposed to a supermarket. I guess I have officially become Bougie!
Staff are always nice, and the set up is actually more open and easier flowing than Di Martini. These two spots used to be related but I guess the ownership is different now.
My fave has to be the fresh salsa they sell on ice in the front. Very garlicky (not for the weak or before a date) and has a nice kick. Try it as a marinade or with chips and guacamole.
Holla!

If Milk Pail is too crowded and claustrophobic, then give them a try at Sunnymount. The goodies are almost as good… but I like the cheese and much of the produce at Milk Pail better!
You definitely don’t need to go to Whole Foods and you’ll save a bunch of $$. It’s a lot cleaner the MP and there’s tons of parking close by in a huge parking lot.

Decent place for fresh produce with no extra hassles or temptations.
Reminds me of a big, oversized fruit stand that you would pull into while on a road trip to SoCal. Good selection of cheese, bread, hummus, nuts, and other healthy snacks.
1-​Star because their organic selection was very limited. In fact, on Friday, the organic section represented some mangoes. If earlier in the day there is more organic stuff… then someone please educate me. Although locally grown, it’s still not organic… Sorry.
Did enjoy the salsa, but it was too garlicky. More tomatoes and basil and I would have had Bruschetta. Did not like that the salsa was not sealed. Sorry again… but for all you know… Joe Nobody might have stuck his finger in my salsa and tried it with a chip prior to my purchase. That’s a NO NO NO.
Peanut butter looked home made and good. If they had more organic stuff… I would give this joint a 5 and skip whole foods.
P. S. They carry Clover milk!
NO AMEX taken here

Second favorite place to shop for fruits and vegetables after Whole Foods. I’d even say Sunnymount is better than farmer’s markets because the products are consistently good quality. Also, you have a better chance to find what you are looking for. Farmer’s Markets tend to be hit and miss.
Whole Foods scores higher because they have wider variety and high quality consistently. As well as cut fruit, fresh salsa and guacamole.
My favorite product at Sunnymount is Vidalia Onion Summer Tomato Salad Dressing. It’s totally yummy and addicting.
