Reviews for Babushka Market, Deli & Cafe in Walnut Creek, CA

Every bite was delicious and authentic, just like Baba made. Patio ambience and service 10+

I highly recommend Babushka for takeout, dinner, and catering. I've been a customer for a long time and I loved them. Recently... we chose them to cater a wedding and it exceeded all our expectations. Varvara crafted a great menu that fit our budget andconsidered the preferences of all our guests, including people who weren't used to Ukrainian and Middle Eastern cuisine, andeveryone adored it. Everything was prepared, delivered and served on time and beautifully. The pelmeni (chicken dumplings) was ahit, the plov was exquisite, and our vegetarians loved the eggplant caviar. Many thanks to the Chef for the amazing experience. Read more

Pros: -Great bakery section, mainly cakes in bulk and piroshki Cons: - 10-15% more expensive than other Russian/Ukrainian... groceries on average - borscht and shuba are excessively sweet, also the latter contains too much mayo and no onion. - do notsell common brands of frozen cherry pirogies in favor of their own overpriced ones Read more

This restaurant is absolutely Walnut Creek’s best kept secret. All of the staff (but especially Varvara) are super sweet and... attentive, the outdoor dining area is lovely, and the food is out of this world delicious! We can’t wait to bring our friendsand family to this spot for dinner in the future. No wonder they were Michelin rated! My only issue is that when I eat here Iget spoiled and any other restaurant kind of disappoints, LOL! But seriously, do yourself a favor. Walk into Babushka’s frontdoor and ask their deli staff if you can dine at their outdoor patio for lunch or dinner! You won’t regret it. Read more

This place is an absolute fire and the best in the Bay Area! My family and I have been going to this place for many years and we... always feel at home. The owners are lovely and friendly people that take a great care of you and make sure that you get the bestexperience! I usually buy ready-to-eat meals and it’s always very delicious! I especially like their salads and pastries. Theyhave so many different things at the store and everything is always super fresh and made with love. I definitely recommend thisplace! Read more

OWNERS NEVER PARTICIPATE IN ANY KIND OF POLITICS!!!!!!!!! People always try to provoke them, asking them which side they take... and owner is always smiling and says that he is for world peace!!! I witnessed today how one man came in and abused the ownerand demanded answers to who owns Crimea, when the owner responded I am for world peace this man stormed out of the deli sayingthat owner promotes war, what kind of bs is that? I have been a customer of Babushka for 25 years. The owners are the nicestpeople, that ALWAYS MEAN WELL and work so hard for their money. Don’t bring your politics dirty laundry into a wonderfullypeaceful place. You are giving a review for food people, wake up. You don’t go to a Deli to discuss politics. All you shouldcare about is, if the food is fresh, if the employees are nice and if they have good customer service skills! So answer to allof the above questions: Delicious fresh food, wonderful customer service, people are super nice, THIS IS THE BEST PLACE EVER! Read more
