Work has always been done when promised and to standard; Mehrshad stands behind his work. When the new hard drive that he had installed had errors, he replaced it immediately, with no argument.

This is a nice book store in downtown Mountain View. It has a selection of books, but what I like most about the store are the calenders. You can usually find a nice, funny, or colorful calender there--basically one that strikes your fancy. The line is usually short and the staff is nice and helpful. Still, I prefer Borders. I recommend this store only if you are really desperate. Most people that visit the store just browse, few actually buy!

Doesnt have a lot of stuff in it. Its pretty expensive. Lots of best sellers. Most people just browse and never buy anything, probably because of the prices. Very clean making it a pleasant environment. The staff was ok, not too great, but it was enough, they help you find what you need. Checkout was quick which is good when you're on the go.

The Milk Pail Market has a great variety of European foods. While many of the foods are cheap, they are also good. This store mostly sells vegetables and fruit. It also sells some dairy products, including cheeses, milk, etc. It has good, cheap chocolate. Their fruits and vegetables are cheap but are of good quality. They also sell Russian bread. The only thing I don't like about this store is that it is partly outdoors and it is usually crowded and they only have 2 cashiers most of the time (but they don't have room for more anyways).

It is an eclectic little “foreign-language” store that has an interesting mix of books and videos, plus strange little knick-knacks. It's in a weird little store front that you might miss if you didn't know to look for it. It’s a nice to place to browse, or at least peep into the windows. Your might find some interesting items on sale – they recently had a great sale on videos for $1.

Like Fish? Turtles? Hamsters? You know all the favorite old-standard pets that kids talk their parents into because they don’t take up much room and the kids promise to take care of them, well this store has them in spades, as well as some of the ones you wouldn’t know you need as a pet until you saw it floating there. Always wanted an eel? Me too, and they’re got really awesome eels, and nifty fishes of all sorts. (You can’t miss the huge giant fish right as you walk in the front door. But please don’t point or tap the tank, for they will ask you to leave.) Buy some stickers to support getting a new tank for the ever-growing big fish (store mascot). It’s a friendly place for creature-lovers, although the owner can be a bit quirky.

If you’re into craft stuff, and like to create your own signature line of jewelry then this is your store. It has everything-a-ma-bob needed to make special one of a kind necklaces, bracelets, and charms. Beads, Strings, Cloths, and Yarns are all in abundance. And it’s a friendly open locale that people just wonder around browsing. There’s ribbon and random little knick-knacks all over that will just make you want to pick them up and touch. And that’s the point! (Classes are offered here, too!)

I am afraid to buy "fresh food" from Golden Phoenix. Their seafood and meat don't look fresh at all and it makes me wonder if it is even sanitary. I remember when I went there once on a hot day, I could see flies flying around all over the store. However, if you do live nearby, this is a good place to by dry goods, cooking sauce and other non perishables there.

More
It began in 1960 in Sacramento, when Russ Solomon started selling records out of his father’s drugstore, it became a household name, and synonymous with counter culture, great selection, and good prices. It began as a champion promoting local artists and music, and expanded around the globe, but somehow it's stores all retain a bit of that neighborhood feel (expect possibly the WOW locations.) The Mountain View Store is one of it's best, carrying a wide-variety of everything (records, videos, and books, and boasting one of the best classical music departments anywhere. The staff can be apathetic, but the selection can't be beat. And there are people there in the bowels that really know and love the music as much as any customer. The new redesign is lacking, however. It's just a big wearhouse now.
