If you are a foodie and you’ve died and gone to heaven, well Market Hall Foods is what you’ll most likely find behind those pearly gates.
Market Hall Foods , a stop on our Rockridge Neighborhood Heritage Food Tour , has been serving the Rockridge neighborhood of Oakland with the highest quality produce, prepared foods, cheeses and artisan products since 1987. With a amazing selection of food options, it’s no wonder that Market Hall Foods and the vendors found within Rockridge Market Hall have been going strong for 30 years.
Started by siblings, Sara, Tony and Peter Wilson, Rockridge Market Hall is the first European-style marketplace in the Bay Area (the well-visited market in San Francisco’s Ferry Building came long after). Here, you’ll find market stalls with a variety of vendors such as Highwire Coffee Roasters , Paul Marcus Wines , Hapuku Fish Shop and Marin Sun Farms.
In the center of it all is Market Hall Foods (formerly known as The Pasta Shop) where you’ll find some of the freshest fettuccine, tortellini and raviolis around (our favorite is the Porcini & Black Truffle ravioli ). In addition, you’ll find one of the best cheese counters in the entire United States. With more than a thousand types of cheeses presented throughout the year, the Market Hall Foods Cheese Counter is certainly your place to find cheesy domestic favorites and discover new international offerings. Plus, they have an amazing staff of cheesemongers who will help you create the ultimate cheese plate.
