Farm Fresh Produce: Balboa international Market shines brightest in its farm-fresh fruits and vegetables--easily some of the best in and around San Diego . The produce is colorful, crisp, and clearly handpicked for quality, giving the market a farmers-market feel with the convenience of a neighborhood store. Whether you're after leafy greens, herbs, or seasonal fruits, this is the place to find them at their freshest. Bakery Section: Their bread collection is equally impressive, with everything from freshly baked lavash and pita to artisan-style loaves.

We had a party of 15 people tonight and I couldn't wait to acknowledge the efforts of our server Daoud and the quality of the food, from the soup, salad, appetizers all through the main course and tea w/fresh baklava! Also, from big thanks to Javid for setting everything up for all of us!

Great selection of whole wheat pita and freshly made Sangak bread- there are no words to describe how unique and delicious it is

One of the challenges I've had with moving out west is finding a SOLID middle eastern market that has ALL the items I'm looking for - which including fresh pita bread, jarred green olives, a variety of cheeses, labneh, and miscellaneous dry goods. Coming from Chicago, I had my one-stop-shops which I truly miss!! Although Balboa Market didn't have all the things I was looking for, it did have a solid variety and I was happy with my experience there. Their produce section is well-stocked, the refrigerated dairy section has an abundance of labneh, yogurts, and cheeses, and the dry goods section has all the grains, teas, spices, and common miscellaneous items. I will be honest - the spices are a bit overpriced and I did my shopping for those elsewhere. Of all the Mid-Eastern markets I've been to in San Diego, this is the only one I've been to, thus far, that has an in-house bakery. Although they don't bake the specific type of pita bread I was looking for (SUPER thin pita bread that can be used for wraps, commonly used in Syrian & Assyrian fare), their offerings of traditional Persian breads was a-plenty. I also LOVED the dessert counter right next to check out, with freshly made Turkish delight, knafeh, and all sorts of yummy Mid-Eastern sweets. Overall, Balboa Int'l Market offers a variety of Middle Eastern goods and is a good place to shop if you're in the area!

first time trying Balboa international market zaatar pizza. it was really satisfying! the crust was also particularly tasty! Located by the vegetable section with a full pizza menu. what a treat.

This is an interesting grocery filled with authentic Mediterranean products. Despite being a fairly small facility, I've spent plenty of time exploring all the goodies. Their prices seem to be fair too, and the prices for produce here are far less than Von's and Ralph's. I just had breakfast beforehand; therefore, I didn't get a chance to order their pizza from the bakery, and baklava from their huge pastries set-up in front of the store. But I will return soon.
