Re: New- Looking for places to shop-Alameda/East Bay

[Guest guest]

I shop at:-Berkeley Bowl - They have the cheapest organic produce and they have some GF products and baking supplies, too (Namaste, Pamela's, Cherrybrook, etc). I buy bulk beans and rice there since those containers are used only for beans or rice so the risk of CC is low - but I stay away from the bulk GF flours because there are just too many opportunities for CC there.

-Trader Joe's in Emeryville-Piedmont Grocery (very expensive but they have some nice stuff so if I'm in the neighborhood I'll pick up a few things - They have I Can Eat That pizza crusts, Food For Life Bread, Glutino, Bob's Red Mill, Namaste, Pamela's, Mariposa Bakery products and others)

-Whole Foods on Telegraph near Ashby-The Grand Lake (Oakland) and Downtown Berkeley farmers' markets. You can buy gluten-free tamales at Grand Lake which are super yummy! Some of them are dairy-free, too.

-Two fruit and veggie markets on 10th Street in Chinatown between and Webster. Cheap produce and Asian groceries.-In a pinch, Longs Drugs on Shattuck Ave in Berkeley and the huge Longs on 51st Street in Oakland have a number of gluten-free grocery products, including Bob's Red Mill (51st St), Mrs Leepers and Tinkyada (Shattuck).

I never set foot in Safeway or Albertsons. If I'm desperate, Andronicos has some stuff - They are just very pricey.Isaiah-- Come visit my food blog...Gluten-Free By The Bay

I don't know if you have a Raley's. I'd love to find one here, because

when I went to Yosemite last week I stopped in at the one in Oakhurst

and nearly bought half the store. Their gf selection is absolutely

awesome for a chain store, and they have all the glutino products.

Check out Harvest House in Concord, they have a bunch

of gluten free stuff. There's a big gluten free aisle

and also a freezer section.
