Walnut Creek Produce

Poor quality fruit. From the outward appearance the fruit looks great but when I got home and tried it I realized half of what I got was rotten or didn’t taste good. I noticed the pineapple was bruised everywhere once I cut it open. The watermelon samples tasted sweet and favorable… which made me buy three. But all three watermelon I bought were bland and flavorless. Buyer beware– this place is deceiving. Never again will I go here… it seems like a bargain, but when you need to throw away half of your items you end up wasting money.

The employees are really friendly and helpful and they usually have great prices. I wish they carried more organic vegetables, so I’m knocking off a star for that.

This place is DISGUSTING !!! The windows look like they havnt been cleaned in a long time, rotten fruit visible through them. Flys and gnats everywhere. The floor is filthy. I will not be going back

The owners know produce and if you shop here, you should too. The prices always are top value.
If a fruit or veggie is abundant, they get the top quality, lower the price and pass the savings to you. Likewise, but less frequently, if they catch a bargain at the wholesaler’s because fruit is turning, they will pass it on to you.
You won’t get better value anywhere.

I do not hand out five stars very often. That takes going way beyond expectations. We found this because Judit had a doctor’s appointment a few doors down. Wonderful fresh produce, beautifully presented, service with a smile. Would we drive from Antioch to shop here? Probably not but when we are in WC we will make a point of stopping in.

What a great place! So much cheaper/​convenient than the grocery store and usually fantastic quality. If a vegetable or fruit looks «tired,» they always have something else comparable. They accept cash and credit. Sometimes you get a bonus (loaf of bread/​bunch of strawberries) for spending over a «certain amount.» Cashiers are quick and available. Parking is slim, so be ready to maneuver around cars or park on the street. Hours are 9 – 6 Mon-​Sat and 9 – 5 on Sunday. We once walked there on a Saturday to get oranges for fresh orange juice and arrived at 7:50am (thinking they opened at 8) they weren’t. Walked back home, got in a car and drove to the grocery store. When we saw what the grocery store was charging for oranges, we got back in the car, drove home, and walked back to the market. We STILL saved SIGNIFICANT money even though we used our car/​gas. 5 Star Establishment!

I love fresh veggies and I love buying them at a good price. Most of the time I can get alright produce at WC Produce, but there have been several occasions where my purchase has only lasted a day or two. I’m spoiled by the cheap, fresh produce at (what I think is) their sister store (Concord Produce) which is the best Produce Market I’ve ever been to and luckily very close to my home. But WC Produce isn’t far from where I work, so from time to time I drive down on my lunch break.
The place is small and there is a small parking lot out front. I feel like the selection here is really limited, almost no organic items, and the inconsistent freshness are the biggest reasons I don’t shop here very much. They do have awesome jars of olives, canned chiles, and fresh baguettes. Checkout is usually fast and friendly and the lines are never long.
If youre shopping on a regular basis and you eat your purchase quickly, this place is great, but if you only go grocery shopping for fresh fruits and veggies once a week, go to the Concord store. It’s amazing.

The fresh produce in concord might be a little cheaper with more variety, but this one is much cleaner and produce is really fresh

How in the world do you get a grocery store a five star review? Easy, great produce, great prices, great service. There’s no need to shop anywhere else in the area for fruits and vegetables

AMAZINGLY CHEAP! I was so excited when I found this place today. Mangos and Haas avocados were $ 0.43! Green onions were ¹⁄₃ of what I paid at conventional groceries and they looked so much more amazing. Service was quick and friendly.
How does this place exist in Northern California with these prices!
I rode my bike in, but there seemed to be plenty of parking.

Hidden golden nugget in Walnut Creek. The best fresh fruit and vegetables for about 70% less than Whole Foods. You sometimes have to pick through the freshest items just like you would at a farmers market. The staff is friendly and the produce is awesome. I love this place.

This is probably the best place to go locally for fresh produce 7 days a week all year round. You also can’t beat the price! I can fill up my bag for the whole week with fresh veggies and fruits for $ 10, when a certain «other» grocery store would charge well over $ 30. Be careful some of the produce can be on it’s way out and should probably be eaten within a day or two of purchase. Keep an eye out for their screaming deals… two pineapples for $ 1, three avos for $ 1.29, 1lb of cherries for $ 2…you get the picture. Now get on your bicycle and fill up your basket!

Fresh, cheap fruits and veggies
Wide variety
Nice people
Family owned
Who could ask for anything more?
Ya feel me?

Great Produce at great prices. Usually fresh. some things can be suspect however. I haven’t experienced the rudeness that some of the other Unilocalers have had, so far so good.

There are only 4 things to know:
1) They DO NOT carry organic produce. Research shows there are only about 12 things you technically should buy organic anyways. Otherwise, you are wasting your money and can buy pesticide free instead unless you are paying 3−5x the price to support organic farming.
2) The produce quality is not A grade. You can’t buy red, orange or yellow bell peppers for 79 cents/​lb or Campari tomatoes for $ 1/​lb or Strawberries for 50 cents a basket anywhere.
3) The produce freshness is suspect sometimes, but I have had wonderful things there.
4) The first 3 are why it’s so cheap.
I buy the few organic things I buy elsewhere and buy the bulk of my produce here. Buying organic produce that doesn’t hold pesticide is an individual call, but I saved hundreds of dollars a year (at the least) here.
At the worst, their pricing will likely equal sale prices at bigger stores, though their apples are never cheap.

Went here on a recommendation of a «non-​yelper» who was raving about the vegetables. I’ve been eating more fruit and vegetables instead of bread/​starch and sugar (and it’s a challenge) so I need good fresh produce to entice me to choose the good stuff over the bad stuff.
As I walked in the smell of produce reminded my of going to the grocery store when I was a kid, wait did I say the smell? Yes folks, veggies and fruit smell, but when you go into Supermarkets now everything is polished and gas-​ripened to look perfect. There being no smell, pick up a Supermarket tomato and it’s red and perfect and odorless… hmmmm tomato vs. Brillo pad, But as I walked into WC Produce I could «smell» the produce, wow what a concept. I got some beautiful «smelling» strawberries in January and the tasted sweet and delicious. Also got some fine looking brussel sprouts. I must have purchased 15 or so different fruit and veggies all for $ 20.
Sometimes it seems in this fast pace world we don’t have time to make multiple stops for our needs, hence going to the «Supermarket». But I will make the effort to frequent WC produce since I work in WC and I could go out of my way home for better tasting produce. I’ll be back.

Fresh (mostly local) inexpensive produce — simple as that! #1 produce store in the area in my book. I just wish they had more organic options.
Just as an example I was shocked in the summer when I got very tasty zucchini at $.59/​LB !!! That’s crazy talk. Needless to say I’m a regular now.

Finally stopped in and WOW. Selection is good. very good. Attractive, fresh good.
I got out of there paying $ 8 for two full bags of produce. Apples, white nectarines, romaine hearts, onions, ginger and they have some tasty lil tomato gems called ‘large cherries’ (which are not cherry sized tomatoes at all) in a more than fair sized plastic container. Plenty for salad, sandwiches etc for a few days if only a couple of folks at home. FOR ONLY A BUCK. Not sure how long that is going to last but they beat taste on the norm red tomatoes you find by far.
My new fave place to pick up produce!

One Banana, two Potato, 4 Tomato, Cucumber. Make up your own tune to to sing along with that bunch.
That was roughly what I bought when I came in here. My baby is able to start eating pureed foods so I came in to stock up. I got Banana’s, Yams for him. The rest, Cucumbers, Tomato, Green Onions, Potatoes and bunch of Sweet Peas were for me and the husband.
The Sweet Peas were hard. I like just eating them, skins and all, like they were chips. These were stringy and hard. An old woman standing next to me asked how to eat them and I told her. Now I feel bad because they were terrible.
Everything else was fine. And the prices are ridiculous! For my whole bunch of veggies and fruit it was slightly over $ 5. Yes, $ 5! I couldn’t believe it.
How have I never been here before? You do have to put some thought into actually driving over here and parking. Its not the most convenient of places.
I love it though. I’m a regular now. Its the closest to a year round farmers market as you can get.

This is a family run, produce only store on Mt. Diablo boulevard, between Walnut Creek and Lafayette, near the mouth of the Tice Valley leading into Rossmoor.
It has a good selection of all sorts of produce and very good prices. And you don’t need to bring your grocery club card!
Staff is friendly.
2 plums, 3 fuji apples and a whole golden pineapple, total $ 4.30
Don’t over buy though. Get what you need and eat it soon.
