Shop

Step into sun-filled Aria Market and Bakery on the corner of Lincoln and Webster and be greeted by Johnny Turcinovic or one of his parents. The family-owned specialty grocery and deli serves classics like fresh-made sandwiches, espresso drinks, fruit smoothies, homemade pastries and baklava, and scoops of Mitchell’s ice cream. But there’s a bonus —Turcinovic sells his homemade pita breads (so light and dreamy it’s hard to believe), and the grocery is stocked with top-notch selections of imported Balkan foods. Open your eyes to new flavors and possibilities. Since 2007, the family has offered treats like Ajvar (a savory red pepper spread that’s deliciously versatile) and other impossible to find imported foods from the Balkans. Discover staples, sweets, and specialty drinks. 1200 Lincoln Ave., Alameda, 510-769-4838.

Eat

Siblings Linda and Ty Do bring Cambodian cuisine to the Island with Phnom Penh House. Originally opened in Oakland’s Chinatown in 1986, the Do family restaurant relocated to Webster Street last July, hooray. Cambodian cuisine is rich in herbs, such as the lemongrass sauce made with turmeric and galangal. Flavors are similar to Thai food, but not so spicy and (even more?) divine. Try the refreshing and bright papaya salad and the addictively unique traop ang — a smoky garlic eggplant topped with seasoned pork and shrimp. 1514 Webster St., Alameda, 510-893-3825, PhnomPenhFouse.com

Come to work, brunch, relax, be nourished, sip wine, or just to get a good espresso buzz. WesCafe welcomes you in with style, locally sourced food (thanks to the Alameda farmers market), and a cozy vibe. Generous wi-fi and friendly smiles make this a great meeting place. 1518 Webster St., Alameda, 510-522-1700, WesCafeAlameda.com

Get ready for a day at the beach with a stop at Domenico’s Italian Deli. Eat in or, better yet, take your purchases to go for the perfect picnic lunch.

The folks at Domenico’s make their turkey, Italian beef, roast lamb, corned beef, and so much more in house, so you know it’s the real deal. It has been serving up goodness since 1982. 1407 Webster St., 510-865-5558, DomenicosItalianDeli.com
