Crystal Springs Produce, San Mateo CA

Meh. This is just a tiny shop with a small selection of usual items like cereal, jarred pickles, applesauce, etc.including some produce that doesn’t look or cost any differently than in the supermarket. And it’s across from Safeway.

Disappointed they didn’t have more local items nor prepared items like hummus. Prices were high like most places nowadays, no one wore a mask while I was there but that’s San Carlos for you unlike areas such as Berkeley, Mountain View or Cupertino, and it’s tiny, tiny, tiny but they did have the front door open. Would’ve liked to have seen items like cut-up melon.

Really not sure what the fuss is about but people support local business which is good. Prefer other smaller local grocers personally such as Sigona’s.

Mustafa who owns the store is a very sympathetic person. Great produce selection, lots of eastern European goodies like halva, kabanosy, ogórki kiszone. Great fruits and veggies as well. And a decent fresh bread. This is a shop that as a 0olish person in Belmont i really missed.

The owners and staff are friendly and helpful and the produce is fresh and there’s a great variety. Lots of organic choices.

Great selection of food in a tiny store. Produce is the best of any local market. Prices are similar to typical grocery. Not exorbitant for organic food. Friendly service.

Great produce, great bread, great prices. The owner, Mustafa, and all of his employees are really nice and good with kids. I really recommend coming here.

Good produce very friendly staff. This is a family produce store that treats you like family!

A sparkling gem in San Mateo. Mustafa is a stickler for the freshest produce he can get his hands on. Also sell Acme bread and lots of cheeses/meats and dry goods. A definite must-go!

Crystal Springs Produce has fresh product for a fair price. I've moved to the next town over but will still make the trip out here for groceries.

Always high quality produce and essentials in one quick stop. The team is always friendly and helpful.

The staff is courteous, friendly and knows their stuff. A wonderful place for fresh produce, fruit and European gems. Do yourself a favor and have their guacamole, it's amazing and made fresh everyday, it's a must!
