Veggie Box

I came back again recently and they are still awesome! Stocked up on super über fresh produce and cooked some killer cuisine that weekend. They keep on adding more inventory too!

This place is really cute. If you are already at San Pedro Square and looking for fresh fruits and vegetables to add to your fridge then this place is for you but beware, this place isn’t a full on grocery store; imagine a farmer’s market storefront.
I saw lots of stuff I don’t see elsewhere which reminds me I might stop by this weekend since I’ll be in the area. I honestly never knew about this part of San Pedro Square…
I don’t recall seeing tags for the produce and vegetables so know your vegetables. My friend Els was looking for spinach and she asked the wrong person [me] since I hardly eat vegetables.
Friendly cashier. very personable.

Cute market inside of San Pedro Square Market. It’s small but there are plenty of unique items to look at.
The sign says that all of the produce is organic and many were grown locally. There were different types of granola that sounded good, like vanilla pecan and cherry walnut. They also had jams, spices, canned heirloom tomatoes, and dried pasta.
I was excited to see that they sold small plants and fresh flowers. I picked up an heirloom tomato plant for $ 5 so hopefully it will thrive in my garden!
I hope they continue to grow and have a wider selection of fruits & veggies in the future. They accept cash and credit cards with no minimum purchase!

I walked by the Veggie Box, located in San Pedro square, the produce was fresh and the prices reasonable. They stock in season and organic products, there isn’t a grocery store in this part of downtown. I was very surprised how reasonable the prices were. The staff person was very helpful and quite friendly. They also had tomato and herb plants for sale.

I made my first visit to Veggie Box last night. I’ll be back.
The produce was fresh and the prices reasonable. I would have liked to have seen a broader selection of merchandise. For example, there were many pasta choices but no tomatoes. I respect that the store is trying to stock in season and organic products, but maybe they could suggest an «in season» substitute when a basic is not there. There is no grocery store – or even a minimart in this part of town, so this place could quickly fit the bill.
I was very surprised how reasonable the prices were. They were similar to Safeway and less than Whole Foods regular prices. The convenience will far make up for any premium they could charge.
I completely missed the dairy and freezer section. I don’t know where it is, but I will look next time.
The staff person was very helpful and quite friendly. The cash register system worked well and they except credit and debit cards.

I love that their is an indoor farmers market. So fresh!

Veggie Box is in the San Pedro Square Market — the other building that’s on the corner. It’s a small space with fresh fruits & vegetables. Meyer lemons $ 1.99/lb — they are hard to ship because of their thin skin. Wish I had a treee. I saw Sunday Honey Lavender Honey 9oz for $ 12.60. Lots of cool jams, interesting sodas: DRY Blood Orange Soda; Chai Cola, etc.
Baia Pasta I saw their shop in Jack London Square, Oakland. You can buy some of their pastas here. Happy Girl Kitchen Co. — Spicy Carrots; Bombay Beets; Crushed Heirloom Tomatoes. Daikon 99c each; Endive $ 6/​lb, Kumquat $ 3.85/lb; Ruby Grapefruit $ 1.20/lb.
Freezer section has Duarte’s Frozen Pies: Apple; Cherry; Strawberry Rhubarb $ 16 each! You don’t have to drive to Davenport to get it.
Frozen Chinese dumplings from a wholesale company in Fremont — I want to try them.
Go check out the Veggie Box!

Today I picked up some Happy Girl Crushed Heirloom Tomatoes in a glass jar, celery, parsley, pears, and radishes. Organic vegetable steps away from my kitchen. Now when I am missing ammunition for my recipes I won’t have to drive all the way to Whole Foods. Veggie Box gets incoming fresh veggies through out the week. Yeah!

This is such a cool idea. It’s an indoor market with an outdoor feel. Really nice product and the owners were really nice too. I went to their grand opening at bought some produce that tasted much better than what you get in an average market.

So good to watch the spaces in San Pedro Square Market fill up. Also good? Locally grown organic veggies and fresh flowers! Safeway fruits and veggies just don’t cut it after you’ve had perfectly ripe, red-​down-​to-​the-​center strawberries of the sort you’d find in a CSA box or Whole Foods. There’s lots more at Veggie Box (dry/​canned/​pickled goods, bread, etc.) but be warned that it is a small store and probably isn’t gonna be useful for one stop shopping.
