Palace Market

Grocery store with excellent, well-curated selection of prepackaged GF food—anything you could possibly want for a picnic or a quick meal you can prepare in a cottage kitchenette: bread, pasta, ramen (and even some GF ramen soup bases!), pretzels, crackers, protein bars, etc. It was not only amazing that there were so many options, but that what they stocked were the brands that we generally prefer, given a choice—we tend to avoid products with xanthan in favor of guar (or neither). We had purchased bags of groceries before driving up to Point Reyes just in case, but we needn’t have bothered. They had everything we wanted, including the kids’ favorite GF almond flour cookies. Pricey, but no worse than you would expect for this area. We were wary of dining out so this store became our mainstay for the entire visit.

How confident are you that this establishment takes safety precautions against cross-contact?

— Very

How much of the menu is available gluten-free?

— Most/All

How would you rate the taste and quality of the gluten-free food you tried?

— Excellent

They have some local produce, a wide selection of organic and conventional produce, and lots of wonderful local cheese. They have a surprisingly large amount of gluten-free groceries like pasta, crackers, chips, etc. I only gave 4 stars because there is no GF prepared food or salad bar, but really, I would not expect that to be cost-effective in a market this small. They do have a deli and butcher. This is a great market.
