Aria Super Market & Bakery

I come from the country which is neighbouring Bosnia, and we have very similar food, so it is natural that I love what these people are selling. But that’s not all they do. You could also order cevapcici and eat it right there on the spot.
It has become a place where I go at least once a week.
I even brought my girlfriend who is a vegetarian, and she loved it!
Would recommend to everyone.

Went at 12:05 on a weekday and there was only pastrami available for a sandwich. Kinda odd, given the time. Got 3 pasteries to go instead. All were stale, but did have potential. The gelatos looked great but I didn’t try any. Not in a hurry to return,

I love that I kind find kinder chocolate here! It’s one of my favorites that my family would bring me back from Germany. They have a few others I enjoy. They’re desserts are also really yummy. We’ve had the delicious carrot cake and the Bosnian sugary syrupy pieces. I can’t remember what they are called. Really good though. We also love the spinach cheese pie. So yummy. Such a gem. Love it here.

I just found this place yesterday when I was seeing a client in Alameda. I wanted a sandwich. When I walked in and all I saw was ice cream, pastries and groceries. I asked the young man behind the counter about a sandwich. I got the most delicious turkey sandwich on their homemade white roll. No they do not have whole wheat, no they do not have multigrain this is just a splurge. Oh come on, have a little flour, eggs and yeast. The best bread I have ever had. What a glorious splurge.

Love this place! You can find anything you need from Bosnia and other Balkan countries. It’s very clean, nice and cozy little grocery store. It’s not too pricy and stuff are very friendly.

Get here around 12:15 & you’ll be able to grab fresh, hot, delicious pita bread–
Friendly, courteous staff & shelves of goodies– not to mention dozens of Mitchell’s ice cream flavors, ready for scooping!

This place has some lovely desserts. The homemade pastries are really lovely. Just had the tiramisu this afternoon, it was fantastic. They now carry Mitchell’s famous ice cream from San Francisco, so fabulous and no line to wait in :). Lots of foreign chocolates, canned goods, and meats. If you get there at the right time of day they have fresh baked pita bread too. The young man who is generally working up front is great at suggesting things and really nice. The prices are very reasonable. Give it a try!

Traditional Bosnian foods
Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. They gave us detailed tips on cooking our cevapi.
I just wish they were in San Francisco. We will come back and stock up though.

Great place to sit down and have a Gelato. The location is on the corner of Webster. I came here with my mom and we ate pistachio gelato. Nice selection of gelatos, pastries, cakes and cookies. I had a chance to talk to the counter person and he says they specialize in Bosnia foods and delicacies. They have been at this location ten years offering foods and dessert.
A nice place to relax and watch the world go by.

I was in the area for an errand and randomly stopped in for a bite to eat at lunch — never heard of the place, and wanted something simple and quick. The nice lady made a great pastrami sandwich for me. It had that old fashioned small business deli sandwich taste to it, if that makes sense — been a while since I had an honest sandwich, I suppose. The lemon bar was also delicious, and all other pastries (and gelato) looked equally scrumptious. If I come back to Webster, I would surely return.

Just had some delicious cevapi and got some great Bosnian treats from this market! The young man who who worked the register was very helpful and had great recommendations on the best brands. He welcomed us warmly and was very friendly! Definitely coming back sometime. Gotta brush up on my Bosnian!

Seriously the best desserts in all of Alameda. And it’s all homemade! The in-​house baked bread is amazing too. They also have very unique gelato flavors. To top it off, it’s a small family business and they are all very friendly.

Oh my! Yummy espresso, delicious muffins!
And super friendly service! Very nice, clean cozy bakery and market. Can’t believe I haven’t been here until now.

Walked into this market for the first time over the weekend. It was unbelievable how much authentic Croatian/​Bosnian food they had, and at a reasonable price too! I recently returned from Croatia & Bosnia, and looked at the price of some of the items I’d purchased while overseas. They were the same, if not less, than what I paid overseas, not including currency conversion rates. It’s very nice to know that this market is in Alameda.
I’ll have to come back and try some of their fresh food/​baked goods before I possibly give them that final star.

Live right down the street from this place and I love it. Great selection of European foods, especially the Chocolate (one of the few places I can find a good selection of Milka Bars).
Also, owners and people are nice as well. :-)

Amazing bakery, and a really cool international market. They have some great delicious cakes…

On a recent Saturday morning I stopped in this beautiful little market and bakery. I wasn’t in the mood for sweet so I decided to try the spinach pie. It was a very delectable and still hot from the oven. Although it looked large enough for 2, it was so good and I ate every bite. The shop owners are so friendly, and eager to please their customers. I would happily make this part of my Saturday morning routine.

The coffee was good and the pastry was extremely good. I’d like to give it a four star and would consider a five if it stayed consistently good. For now I’m going with a three for one reason: the strong smell of cigarette in the bathroom. They had lots of fragrances inside to cover bathroom smells, but this was overpowered by cigarette smoke smells. It may have been a disrespectful customer, but the person before me went right to the kitchen. It could of been lingering from before, but the smell was pretty strong. I’ll keep going back and if seems like an isolated problem likely will bump up my rating.
On my second trip, we took the pastries home. They are definitely MUCH better when having them warmed up and ate fresh.

They sell various kinds of Bosnian savory pies:
with Meat: Burek «BOUR-​rek»
with Cheese: Sirnica «SEER-​nit-​sah»
with Meat and Potatoes
I tried the pumpkin flavor:
It’s really good, except the bottom layer of dough is super soggy.
they also sell Bosnian bread, which is like a fluffy pita:

Man, what a lucky day this was! I was walking along Webster Street to get to the Farmer’s Market when I discovered this little shop. I had never really noticed it before. So when I read a sign saying they sold «Bosnian pies», I was sure to go in and check it out. What a surprise, the pies turned out to be burek, which I had enjoyed a lot of times while growing up in Germany with many friends from the former Jugoslavia. Their moms made that stuff all the time. As did the moms of my Turkish friends, only they called it börek ;-)
But not only do they have pies (savory ones like the meat or spinach filled bureks) and other baked goods, they also offer a variety of Eastern European staples and even German chocolates! Also, I found Ayran in their fridge which I hadn’t had in years! A full success, I would say. I will surely return.
BTW: the meat pie was great, I’ll try the one with spinach and feta next time.
The owners are super friendly and the lady who baked the stuff, explained everything in detail. Yeah for Alameda’s small shops and hidden treasures!
