Oakville Grocery

Omg the must stop place for lunch when in the area! We were on bikes touring Sonoma and we were starving; never expected the awesome curried chicken salad sandwich!!! The bar area was worth peeking at … like you had been thrown back 40 years… so cool! The staff was so friendly and made great suggestions to my friends!!

Good sandwich, and salads. Very decent selection of local wines and cheese. Great treats. Found these Italian lemon cookies, boy these bring back some good memories!

Stopped in here on a whim, didn't have time to sit down and eat but wanted some quality food. I ordered the chicken sandwich to the left on this picture. Service was friendly and efficient. Would have preferred a bit more salt on this sandwich but it was good and an overall nice stop. Will stop again

Excellent little wine, cheese, cured meats, and small plate meals like meat and gruyere sandwiches that sits with a nice view of the park. It was a great place to stop for a coffee and pastries as well.

Great beer and wine selection, one do the only places downtown where you can grab breakfast and coffee and it isn’t too crowded. Pricey but what do you expect, rent is likely very high here.

The sausage breakfast sandwich is my all-time favorite. Good salads and sandwiches for lunch too. Lots of shaded patio seating.

It's a gourmet grocery store. So expect high prices and lovely food. Gets crowded, so be patient and polite.

Slooooow order fulfillment yet the food is amazing. The turkey breast sandwich is phenomenal, great bread.

Major bummer that this place closed. Had the best sandwiches perhaps anywhere. Five of us ate there a year ago, and the "best sandwich" vote was unanimous. :-(

Well, it's a beautiful, large space. What surprised me is the abundance of wine & the dearth of groceries. There is a small deli case where most items are mixed with mayo, & im not a believer. I didn't try the custom sandwiches, but there seems to be mixed reviews. Hence, a neutral 3 stars. I would go here if I wanted to grab a bottle of wine without the formality of a tasting bar.

I LOVE Oakville Grocery! It's one of the few lunch spots in town that's open everyday and it's consistently great! Yes, it gets busy and the wait can be long. But expectation management is a key to happiness. Know before you go and plan accordingly. Get a drink and/or snack to enjoy while you wait for you sandwich, salad, or Mezzaluna (or for takeout, call your order in to save time!). Walk around the store to check out all the gourmet goodies. Or pop into nearby Bon Ton Studio to check out some women's clothing and home goods while you wait. My current favorite menu item is the Mezzaluna (half moon in Italian): a Pizza crust folded around a chopped salad. Part comfort food, part health food. Win Win! I've tried my way through the Mezzaluna options and my fave is: The Oakville Club Mezzaluna - $16 Hearts of romaine, chicken, bacon, chopped tomatoes, parmesan, caesar dressing *I add avocado and get dressing on the side (highly recommend this, especially for a To Go order, so the crust doesn't get soggy!) Do NOT miss the Torres truffle chips, when they are in stock! Sadly they were out of stock when I was in yesterday! The Sal de Ibiza white truffle chips are a solid backup option though (in the turquoise bag). I also always get an freshly brewed iced SPORTea! So refreshing! Order this at the coffee counter where you pay for everything. Oakville Grocery sells wine but also just opened a Wine Merchant nextdoor. So many wine options in this town! Not enough time! I hope to check that out soon.

So, you're walking through downtown Healdsburg, and you're looking for a place to have a glass of wine. Well, guess what? You're in luck. There are a zillion of them. Overall, Oakville is super cute. But pretty much everything in downtown. Healdsburg is, well, super cute, so that's not really a defining characteristic of Oakville. It's a great place to grab something picnic-y, if you don't feel like stopping into one of the other froufrou restaurants on the square. But, like many other reviewers say, there's nothing truly special about the food, service, or ambiance.

Despite my declaration in 2016 that locals don't buy and eat here, I did because I was starving and this place was practically empty. Potato salad is $18 pound. A small snack size container cost me $12. It was nothing special, the potato salad at Olliver's supermarket is way tastier. Add a canned apple cider for $7 (that's priced $2 at the supermarket). And I spent $20. There were some well dressed tourists in front of me that bought some equally expensive snacks then got in their top of the line Tesla and zoomed off. Years ago this place sparkled and also had top notch everything. Now the place looks forlorn, the walls are kind'a grimy. It doesn't smell fresh inside. Claude Boisset owns the Oakville Grocery chain now. I hope he plans to improve the appearance and food quality.

It's a gourmet grocery store. So expect high prices and lovely food. Gets crowded, so be patient and polite.

Arrogant asses. I'm a single customer in the room and no one asked me if I need help or want anything. Wasn't like that couple years ego. What happened?

Upscale market with a large deli, coffee bar, wine and products. Lovely outdoor sitting area where we had afternoon coffee, pita chips with hummus, deviled eggs and pastries. In the heart of the city. Lovely spot.

It had been years since I have been here to grab some food, but I think it has got better for sandwiches and it was great before. We also had a little appetizer of a crab cake that was warmed for us and it was delicious. They do have gluten free bread that was a great treat for one is our group who had the caprese sandwich. We also had a prosciutto and Brie that were delicious. They have pizza as well, and lots of wine. Their own $65 250 mL can of Cabernet though, I thought was a joke, but apparently not - if anyone does buy it I would love to hear what is was like. And I forgot to take pictures - what!!!!!! Should you go - yes!

It goes without saying that all the food offerings are consistently good here so it's always busy. The reason I'm giving them stars today is that there was a discrepancy in the order, I left without checking, really obvious schoolboy error, and when I called they sorted it out immediately. Keep up the good work, very professional

They have really unique items here like truffle chips and really good wines for a cheaper price than elsewhere. Coffee shop inside is pretty good and they have good cheeses and crackers and spreads. Wouldn't opt for their sandwiches as they don't have too many options. Prices for cheeses and snacks are on the pricier side but it's great to buy wine.

I have been coming to this place since they opened--we frequent both locations--Healdsburg and Oakville. They never disappoint. Sandwiches are fantastic. They have a very wide selection of things to go with it, drinks (alcoholic and non). They are busy, but they seem to get the food out with minimal wait. We went twice last weekend---once to each location. They take COVID precautions VERY seriously. Tables are scrubbed--they also limit the number of people allowed in the store. Food is amazing--every single time!

My sis and I stopped here on a Friday afternoon before heading to Davies Family Vineyard... thankfully we found street parking... and I am going to go there... but looking around, I definitely felt like we stood out being people of color... we got out of my sis's Range Rover and everyone legit stared at us from the truck to walking inside. It was odd, come on folks, there are Pacific Islanders in Sonoma! Don't treat us as aliens! WTF. Anyway, walking inside... I would agree that the sticker price was quite shocking. My sis ended up getting some pasta and some sandwich... we also got a few tumblers and mugs... the total price was $70... yup... Sis didn't end up finishing the sandwich neither did she finish the pasta. I would follow what the other Yelp reviewers said... go somewhere else. Staff looked and acted like they hated their jobs... and you can feel it in the vibe. It's very unfortunate.

Ate lunch on 4th of July with my better half on terrace at Oakville Grocery. There were lots of people on the Healdsburg square as there was live music for the holiday. Although Oakville grocery was very busy as well, we placed our order quickly at the counter and ordered wine and paid our bill and headed to a free table. We chose a wild mushroom and cheese pizza and caesar salad to share. They give you a little pad which buzzes when order is ready for pick-up. The wait was reasonable given how busy they were. While the pizza was tasty, I thought the kitchen was skimpy with wild mushrooms, the same with salad dressing. The latter was easily resolved with another container. Finished with a brownie.A very dog friendly place, quite a number of dogs were with diners seated on terrace.

I was all set to get a salad but then I saw the Reuben on the special board. It was very good, a little bit greasy. I did get the Asian kale salad also that we had at dinner. It was fairly expensive and not much to it. The dressing was good though. The peanut butter cookie dipped in chocolate was good too.

If it weren't for its location in the tourist heart of Healdsburg, this place probably wouldn't be in business. They have never once made my sandwich correct. It baffles me honestly. Food is super overpriced and mediocre. Try someplace else.

This looks like a charming place from the street. We stopped to get a glass of wine and a charcuterie board. I found the hosts in the wine and cheese counters pretentious and uninviting. Their higher prices and lower level service left me disappointed. There are so many other places in town where the hosts are warm and engaging and eager to guide you through their offerings. Don't be drawn in by their curb appeal, keep walking.

I was looking forward to having lunch here today. Checked the menu online to make sure my favorite sandwich was still available, the blta which still was. But I was so disappointed to see that the prices have been raised, $17 for this sandwich now. I know the cost of things have skyrocketed now a days but this sandwich maybe had 3 pieces of bacon on it, 2 small tomato slices and 1 piece of soggy lettuce. Definitely not worth spending almost $20 dollars on a single sandwich, I honestly felt like I was ripped off. Unfortunately I will not be returning.

I want to love Oakville-I'm a local and want to support this wonderful store which has so many good things in it. BUT I just got a sandwich here and it tastes like the kind of sandwich you would buy at a gas station which is FINE except it's an expensive sandwich and I was expecting it to be kinda good... Troubadour has FABULOUS fresh sandwiches that are delicious-not fancy but DELICIOUS-I came here because Troubadour is closed on Mondays and found out there is no comparison. Dry packaged bread with lettuce & a sliver of tomato-I am so disappointed I won't be back for sandwiches which is a shame because it seems like a relatively simple thing to do well.

I went to this cutesy market today in Healdsburg, I was like, How did I not come here before? This little store has everything for a picnic including the picnic basket and the wine or if one wants to sit in their front cute relaxing patio they have Deli sandwiches and salads, a variety of cheeses and cold meats, sandwiches, chicken and pastas. Variety of wines to choose from and plastic wine glasses. We can purchase a bottle of wine cold meats or sandwiches and just relax and sit in front and people watch. I fell in love with this store and I will definitely come and enjoy an evening at this place. I have my eye on one of those insulated picnic baskets. My new favorite place, I wish I had taken pics of the patio. This place is in the plaza overlooking the park which makes it even better to enjoy an evening this is a must stop when in Healdsburg

Stopped in while starving in Healdsburg and was not disappointed with my curried chicken salad on wheat. It had lettuce, tomato and avocado and was so delicious I practically inhaled it. A small grocery store with wine on tap and various tiny sides you can get to go. A friendly lady inside gave us samples of cookies her family makes and sells as well. A nice seating area outside to enjoy your goodies and right in the heart of Healdsburg so you can shop and enjoy a deli sandwich.

20 dollars for a fried chicken sandwich that is a airline chicken breast? What a joke... made the wrong salad, 30 dollars for a 4 pack of Golden state cider? Highway ROBBERY!!!

Very high end lunch spot, with ample outdoor seating. We love to stop by every time we're passing through Healdsburg.

Well, it's Healdsburg, the new Napa, so most activities, restaurants, bars, etc around are going to be filled with more tourists than locals. Not a bad thing for most, but drives up the price if you are looking for a cheap alternative options. Oakville Grocery is a staple market located right downtown Healdsburg, and offers up some tasty treats, whether it be a Brunch, Lunch, or dinner option you are looking for. Small patio outside if you are looking for a sit down, but it fills up quickly, so do not bank on an open table during a nice day as most get taken right away. I have never had anything terrible here, but I honestly have only visited a handful of times, and usually for a chicken or BBQ sandwich, which are quite tasty. The cheeses are phenomenal though as most are locally sourced, but again expect to pay a pretty penny for them and most other items in the store. I'd say if you are playing tourist for the day, attempt to find a parking spot (Quite difficult sometimes), grab a table, snacks, and a nice bottle of wine and enjoy the people watching!

we just left this place, we were thinking the coffee would be great & the Place looked very inviting. as it turns out the green tea latte I ordered was cold & I wasn't offered a size preference. When we went over to the sandwich counter, The service got even worse there was a gray-haired lady who waited on us who is very impatient and rude. I had wanted to order salads in the salad case but she had made up her mind she was done helping us. The place is a bit pricey which would have been fine, if the service was good. $35.00 for 2 coffees & 1 sandwich . I will not be returning ......there are better places to go in this town with lady's / workers who are aware ...... customer service matters. good luck & good bye ...!!!

This is a great place to grab food. You can get good quality food at the portions you want and at a decent price. Not only does Oakville Grocery Co. have a deli, they have a café, a decent sized wine rack, a couple of freezers with some curated ice cream selections, a butcher for your charcuterie, a large selection of olives and cheeses. Let's not forget that they also have a table for chocolates! Really, everything you need to throw a good wine tasting party is here. Or a picnic!! Catty-corner from Oakville Grocery (or is it kitty-corner?) is a small park or town square. You can buy your food here (or the other Oakville Grocery branch) and take it with you to go picnic or hiking. In order to try as many different items as possible, I asked for a scoop of each of the following items, except for the mushroom quesadilla, of course. CRIMINI MUSHROOM & BARLEY SALAD - oh that mushroom is so good. And the barley was prepared well too. ORECCHIETTE PASTA - Simple but so good. CAPRESE SALAD - mozzarella balls instead of slices. Very cool! KALE SALAD - one of the few times I found kale edible, tasty and actually quite good! MUSHROOM AND GOAT CHEESE QUESADILLA - can't go wrong! Oakville has a large outdoor semi-covered patio with an outdoor fireplace and several patio heaters to warm up the space. This patio is used as an outdoor dining area. Very comfortable.

Stopped by a few weekends ago when we were visiting for wine tasting. I ordered the Roast Turkey and a drink and the sandwich took ~30-40 minutes to come out which seemed excessive. When it did come out, it was rather small for the price, and although it was good, it certainly was not worth the wait. Even though the place was quite full and seemed like a popular place, I won't be back.

Casual and also boujee gourmet deli. I've been eating the same sandwich here for YEARS. I'm not telling you which one because I don't want it to ever be sold out when I need one. Haha! Fancy olive oil, local condiments and precious cured meats! I love this place!

Small coffee/bakery and deli inside. Great spot to grab a snack while window shopping or wine room hopping. I picked up some local truffle oil, salami, cheese, and dressing. Support local business by shopping here! Not a grocery store for meat and produce, but more so for small specialty or gift items.

I love going to the Healdsburg square and this year I tried out the Oakville Grocery. I read the poor reviews but that wasn't my experience there. I bought a beautiful bottle of wine and had a very tasty salad there - the Oakville Signature. It was delicious although I wish they would have mixed the salad with the dressing for me as the salad bowl was too small to do some serious mixing. My only complaint was with the glass of wine I ordered with lunch. The amount poured (see photo) was a glass; that's a very small pour of wine in my opinion (and I order a lot of glasses of wine wherever I go) for $15. For a place that sells so much wine (and because I bought a $45 bottle) - I expected a more generous pour.

Had lunch here today with my family. All of us loved our sandwiches. I had the Reuben special and it was delicious! Best one I have had in years!

One of my favorite lunch spots in healdsburg! They have a great deli counter with lots of pre made sandwiches, salads, and snacks. Great wine and drink selection for a little store. The coffee bar serves beer and wine on tap. I can't see myself grocery shoping here but love the fresh made sandwiches, pizzas, and mezalunas! Tuesdays on the plaza are the best. I highley recommend stopping for lunch!

This place have delicious food! Super nice people, will definitely come back again whenever I visit Healdsburg!

Oakville Market is amazing. The food is top notch, the packaged goods are rock solid, and the coffee bar and pastries are to die for. They serve wine by the glass and we were lucky enough to interact with the amazing barista staff and Stuart! who was monitoring the store's capacity and cleaning the outdoor furniture. I gotta say.... Stuart has a tough job. People do NOT like being told that they have to wait to enter a store. But his approach was fabulous. He told people that the store was at capacity and gave them a reasonable wait time and then monitored everything closely. He engaged patrons with friendliness and charm. TO THE MANAGEMENT: Stuart is a start employee. We were so impressed with his kindness, professionalism, and speed at helping folks to be sat in the patio, to clean the furniture, and to monitor the store to make sure that there were the right amount of people shopping at all times. My whole group was very impressed with him!

Had a terrific pizza and salad with frozè. Executed flawlessly. Outdoor seating and super selection of wines at 1881

Funny thing is that we visited the Oakville Grocery store in Napa the weekend prior. This location appears dimmer and less exciting for some reason. It wasn't as obvious that they sell coffee here too. The service here really needs some serious work. It was unorganized and ridiculously slow. While waiting 15-20 minutes for our one sandwich my husband observed how unorganized the staff here was. Food was good though. Our curry chicken salad sandwich was on point and so was our thai salad. The outdoor seating area although nice can't compare to the one in Napa. Not sure if they have restrooms here either. I would come back just because its a quick easy bite and the food is good. I really hope they work on their service as I have noticed a lot of reviewers writing that their service needs work.

I waited 25 minutes for a to go salad. When I asked the deli girl if there was dressing somewhere she looked at me and treated me as if I was an idiot and said "dressing?", continued to stare at me until I looked at the salad handed to me without a bag and said "oh I see there's a package in the salad and she raised her eyebrows and said "uh yeah". I don't need attitude just because they are used to dealing with tourists all day. I am a Sonoma county person and will not be back.

Super cute store with a bunch of great oils, wines and other snack items. I got a matcha and the Caesar salad which were delicious. My only complaint was how incredibly rude the staff was. I interacted with 4 different team members and received an attitude from all of them. Same with all the people in my party. I wouldn't come back considering the rude staff and the amount of time it took for our food to come out.

If you live here it's convenient. A bottle of wine is priced good. The food items are really expensive! I feel bad for a senior that would have to do there weekly shopping. I know the restaurant by the Golf Course gives a discount if you live here, this grocery store / deli should. I am giving 4 Stars because the cashiers need to be friendlier and I have never gotten a discount since I live here.

Great place to get sandwiches, salads, snacks, coffee, wine and more! Literally a grocery full of local purveyors and organic and natural products. Really great food. My veggie breakfast burrito was a bounty of veggies! Oh my god so good. The only thing that was a little disorganized in my opinion was ordering food and having all the cashiering happen at the coffee bar. If you weren't getting a coffee just seems like two lines to wait through. The large coffee drinks are huge! Holy cow my large cappuccino was the size of a large tumbler! Very good though. Would definitely come back.

Horrible place. I had a service dog with me with proof that she was a service dog yet the manager kicked me out and kept shaming me asking why I needed a service dog which is illegal to ask. Not to mention overpriced place.

If you are in the area for wine tasting - I can highly suggest you come into town and get sandwiches here in between (or maybe take them back out to a winery to enjoy at a picnic table (I know Rodney Strong has picnic tables.) Three of us tried a variety of sandwiches - the turkey pesto with provolone cheese was one of the best I've had on fresh bread - a huge serving that I ate with luster but knew I could have shared with someone else. We also had a steak sandwich that was consumed quickly and I can't remember the third. This place came recommended and I would highly recommend it again. 5 stars for a lunch at a grocery store. We also tried their chips (sea salt and vinegar) and the chocolate malted milk balls which we enjoyed long after lunch! And the seating was very nice outside under a trellace!

I asked the girl at the deli counter if they have the house made roast beef (not from boars head or anything - not brined). She said yes. I said great! I ordered a simple sandwich: House Made Roast Beef, lettuce, tomato, black pepper, mayo on a sourdough baguette. I received Roast beef with arugula, cheese and whatever else I didn't ask for. I brought it back to the deli counter and they made me a new one with what I asked for. I walk it back to my office and sit down to eat. The Roast Beef is Brined - not house made. The bread is day-old regular roll, not sourdough baguette. Get your shit together, Oakville Grocery. I'm walking back now to return it again. And that is the last they will see of me.

It's always been a good place but very, very understaffed today. 45 minute wait for a sandwich!!? Best not to come if you are hungry. Won't be back anytime soon.

INCREDIBLY slow and poorly managed. Everyone, including me, waited 30 minutes for a simple (and expensive) sandwich. I will never go here again.

Disappointing casualty of Big John's and changes in ownership. We've been coming here for years and the quality of food has spiraled down. They used to offer reasonably priced house wines by the glass that were "up and comers". Their pizzas used to be fantastic. The sandwiches delicious. The shelves of the store were stocked and supply bountiful. My wife and I ate there last week (both of us really looking forward to it, we're from Colorado). Pizza was visually unappealing and tasted like cardboard, my wife's sandwich dry and crumbly. No wine. Depressing. This was such a landmark for us.......

NEW OWNERS: LOWER QUALITY. Every now and then as I walk the square I get a craving for a good turkey sandwich. Oakville used to have a decent turkey pesto so I stopped by. After being told they had new owners and the turkey pesto wasn't available anymore I ordered their new turkey sandwich. I mean it's really hard to mess up a turkey sandwich. Right? I. WAS. WRONG. The new turkey sandwich has a garlic aioli that is 97% mayo and 3% garlic salt from a grocery store. FOUL. The turkey I got was half the portion I used to get. Why on earth would you buy a business and screw it up by cheating out your guests for more profit? I wouldnt be surprised if this place was shutdown in a year. Oh well, I guess we will get our 27th tasting room where a good business used to be. Extra star because everyone was nice.

Oakville Grocery is an upscale grocery store and wonderful lunch spot in the center of Healdsburg. It feels like a mini Whole Foods with plenty of options to choose from at the deli. From prepared salads to sandwiches to pizza, it all looks appetizing. There's a variety of wine to purchase and even a coffee bar in the corner with pastries. I decided on the mozzarella sandwich and grabbed a table in the covered outdoor patio with a view of the square. On hot days, there's also mist overhead to keep everyone cool. Despite the size, the grocery store still feels spacious due to the tall ceilings, bright lights, and honey oak wood counters and shelves. Oakville Grocery would also be a great place to stock up for a picnic. Just bring a basket to fill with baguettes, wine, cheese, and perfectly packaged sides.

Tried the new Thai Crunch Mezzaluna omg really nice addition to an already perfect food. The Club or Kale version is normally my go-to however the new Thai Crunch has a light dressing and super fresh carrots and peanuts! Really great service the staff working really care about social distancing and keeping everyone safe. Cheers!
