Ava's Downtown Market

With the Mill Pail Market having recently gone out of business, Ava's Downtown Market & Deli is one of the only family-run grocery stores left in Mountain View--and it's awesome! Aside from their $5 minimum policy for credit card transactions, I do not have any complaints. It has great variety (domestic and foreign), and lot of healthy/organic options. The prices are reasonable as well, even their location is the center Mountain View's downtown district must cost them a fortune in rent! Show your support for local businesses and shop here instead of at those "chain" stores, like Safeway and WholeFoods. Don't let this place shut down like the Milk Pail Market!

I love this place. One of the few local grocery stores that are privately owned and where the owner cares greatly about his customers' needs. The products seem to be carefully selected. Sometimes I just go there to browse for some new product gems that I may have missed before. The owner and his employees are always nice and attentive towards their customers.

Friendly neighborhood grocery store! Lots of fresh produce, bread, dairy, etc. And super helpful staff.
