Crossroads Specialty Foods

Much larger variety than they had on Jackson. Hard to find specialties with a small but good selection of wines from Europe and Middle-East. Some bulk spices and herbs. Friendly staff and a very clean space.

Went into the store to explore and was pleasantly surprised with how many yummy items were available. They did not have the spice packet for Carrot Salad that I was looking for. They then contacted their vendor and ordered it for me! Customer service was top notch. And with all the speciality items they carry, I found the price to be lower than I expected. Highly recommend!

I live in Hayward and along with other Hayward residents we were so sad when Crossroads decided to close up the Hayward location on Jackson street and move to Castro Valley. But no one knew it was going to take what felt like FOREVER for them to re-open. I had almost given up but decided to drive by the new location last weekend just to see if they were any closer. And they were OPEN! The store is HUGE and they have TWICE the inventory. If you were a fan of the old location, you are going to fall in love with the new store. It was worth the wait. All of my old favorites are there; the incredible Bulgarian yogurt (Forget about Trader Joe's yogurt, or greek yogurt, this is the real deal. Once you've tried it you won't go back), the varieties of feta in bulk. The bulk coffee and tea, the greatly expanded bakery section, the bulk beans, grains, and seeds. Huge assortment of wine and beer. Go and check it out. You won't regret it, and you'll become a fan like the rest of us!

Wow!!! This place is a gem. Finally went last night and so happy we did. Very clean and smells great, so many great finds from all over the world. They even have fresh Greek yogurt that was amazing and when we were trying to decide what cheeses to get they offered us generous samples of several. Prices were good, friendly staff, and tons of parking. We will be back soon!

I live down the street and have been waiting for months for this place to open up. Finally got to visit and was really happy with the selection. They have a ton of international food items from Europe, and the Middle East. I really love that they have bulk bins for grains and spices which help me cut down on single use plastics. I also found some exotic tinned fish and seafood. They also have fresh baklava and Turkish delights. I definitely recommend this shop to anyone in the area.
