Nugget Markets

I’ve lived in the area for a couple of years now, and was not a big fan of the grocery story until they changed to Nugget (I think they were Paradise foods before.) They changed over about 6 months ago, maybe a bit more, and have made very welcome additions and changes to the store including layout, selection, people, appearance.
The meat department changed in a very positive direction, and it feels more welcoming, and they have a good selection of ready-​to-​cook prepped items as well as chops and steaks. Excellent weekly deals on various things that I’ve wanted to try but not at the original price point — example is locally made calabrese sausage links for $ 5/​lb that are usually much more.
The deli is more inviting, as well, and there is better signage to guide you. Better quality and presentation, and excellent sandwich options including grilled panini.
If you are price-​sensitive, look elsewhere — premium prices befitting the premium products is what to expect.
Overall a nice place to shop weekly!

Since Nugget took over this store from Paradise Foods, the quality of the food and the employees has vastly improved. Everything is fresh and well-​stocked, and the staff is really knowledgeable and helpful. It has become the main market I go to and I’ve almost eliminated Whole Foods entirely (which my bank account enjoys).

Nice market and I’ve shopped there a lot since they took over the location. I’d been a regular at the prior supermarket also.
My beef is how they treated me and the managers attitude my last time there. I wanted to cash a check for $ 20 over. They called the manager over and the first thing he noticed was that I didn’t have my street address on my check, just Sausalito. Well, who in their right mind, and especially when you are a Senior Citizen would have a street address on your check? I don’t drive anymore so I don’t have a drivers license but did have a US Passport although it was expired as I don’t plan to travel out of the country anymore. Well, the manager acted like I was some sort of criminal or bad check artist! The surprising thing is that if you deal a lot with the public, you can spot an honest face but the manager looked at me and said that he was protecting me from fraud if it was a stolen check. One thing I know for sure is that I do have quite an honest face and most people throughout the years have spotted that right away. In the store that was here before I wrote a number of checks even for $ 50 or $ 60 over my purchase and the cashiers never once asked me for identification. So, guess where I won’t shop anymore? That’s right, I’ll spend my money where I’m treated well. It’s their loss not mine.

Goodbye Molly Stones. Hello Nugget Market (WELL worth the short drive from Sausalito)
So glad to have found this location! The store always strikes me as clean and bright with solid quality items. The seemingly genuine employee friendliness is especially appreciated.

The «Artist Formerly Known As Paradise Foods» is now Nugget Market. And despite the unfortunate name, this high-​end grocery store is a welcome addition to the Tiburon neighborhood. Similar to Paradise Foods, the prices are a bit higher than you’ll find at Safeway down the road. But I must give Nugget props for cleanliness and having a very nice store lay-​out. It’s very easy to shop here, the produce and veggies are always fresh, and nothing ever feels cluttered.
Unlike Safeway, the check-​out lines are never long here. I can usually get in and out in under 10 minutes. And I’m always delightfully surprised by how friendly the staff is here. Whether it’s the guy at the produce section or the kid at the register, everyone always asks how your day is going and if you found everything you were looking for. Needless to say, this story is as well-​managed as they come.
My only gripes about the store (and they’re minor), is that the hot deli selection is a bit lighter than its Paradise predecessor. It would be nice to have a few take-​home options for the end-​of-​the-​day. Also, they they only sell beer and wine. It would be nice to have a Southern Marin grocery option other than Safeway and Rite-​Aid to purchase vodka and spirits.
But like I said, these gripes are minor. All in all, I’m glad to have this Nugget Market near my house. I’ll be back!

Fantastic grocery. Always loved Paradise Market but Nugget has upped the game.
Great selection, friendly, helpful staff and you’ll never wait in line. Pricing is on par with Whole Foods. Any day I don’t have to shop at the gulag (Safeway) is a good one!

I love Nugget Market! They have a great selection and wide variety of foods. They have raw, vegan and superfoods, lots of different nut butters, nondairy alternatives to milk, teas, granola, great chocolate selection, and great produce! I went to Paradise Foods once or twice but only for the hot food bar and ice cream over the counter. Now I’m at Nugget weekly and absolutely love it. The employees are always really nice and seem to love their job. A fantastic new ownership, love it!

Wow! Nugget is my favorite new Marin grocery store. First, the employees are all 100% so smart and friendly. It is a delight to trade with them.
The price point is not as high as Paradise Mkt.-thank heaven. Great weekly promotions and same superior produce, Wine Selection and deli.
Merry Christmas!

I miss the old Paradise Market!!! Great selection of everything as well nice people. And they had the best fried chicken in MARIN for the takeout. Now this Nugget is getting worse and worse. They not only make it chintzier with lower quality products but their weekly deals constantly run out of product. One time, they were out of 3 of the 4 sale items on the first day of the sale! My kid Marlette almost cried when she got two scoops that were smaller than a single scoop from before! They get 1 * for a decent meat butcher as the steaks are pretty darn good. And one more * for friendly staff. But please don’t keep lowering the standards and make it a Lucky’s.

ovrrpriced in most items. an incomplete hotbtablevand deli section. not very good, and quality is less than Paradise. still struggling to see the many benefits promised.

This store is doing it right. The food is normal, healthy, and much like many grocery stores in the area. They do seem to be much cheeper 25% cheeper in some areas but its the service that wins me over each time. There i no wondering up and down because some one will instantly ask to help you right when you walk in. The shopping experience is made great and is now the only store i got to for food.
(PS the soup is out of this world amazing)

Cute store, very good selection of healthy and less healthy goodies at good prices. If they expanded the deli and added smaller containers I’d be thrilled.
