"Family run store with a little bit of everything like a deli. Great selection of loose leaf teas, which I find is getting harder to find in the East Bay!"

"The owner is a lovely woman who tastes everything in her store to recommend the best Dubai chocolates and teas and cheeses for your tastes, which I found touching. We loved finding Dutch honey drops here and porcini mushrooms, and HIGHLY recommend getting a cortado at the coffee bar."

"Always enjoy shopping here. Varsity of chocolates and cheese outstanding . Great assortment of snacks, crackers and cookies."

"Recently stopped by Raxakoul, Kensington location, and delighted to find that there is so much more than coffee and cheese; meats, cakes (delicious N.Y. cheesecake), breads, small canned items. Marie is friendly and helpful. She will deliver when asked. Certainly, worth exploring."

"I'm visiting the area and thought it would be fun to buy some local cheeses, meats, and pastries. I was waiting in line and saw this sign- 1$ extra for no ice? I've never heard of something like this. When did it cost extra to buy an undiluted drink? I don't want to have to pay extra for a 5$ drink to *not* to be watered down. It's so exploitive. I returned the items I was going to buy and left."
