Cotati Market - Cotati, California

I've been going to this store for 2 decades. Always convenient, always friendly. The negative reviews for this place are outdated or lack context. If you live in Cotati, you already know the selection/service here far surpasses any other local convenience store. The owner is an awesome guy as well as the evening associate. You will frequently see the owners son working as well, helping out the family business. This store is solid and an awesome addition to the city of Cotati.

The place is clean and has a good selection. However, the clerk stared at me in a way that made me comfortable.

The owner and his associates need to really work on there customer skills. I remember going there for the very first time. The cashier / store associate was pleasant and would talk w/ you. Now you go in there you don’t even get a hello.
BTW: don’t go in there with your service dog. They’re rude and not pleasant.
It’s a shame that store in your own neighborhood doesn’t make you feel proud to say you’ve got a nice neighborhood market. By reason negative reviews like this. The owner sure shows he don’t care about his neighborhood relations as well as taking pride in his store.

Love our little corner market. Used to be known as Franks Market but it was renamed Cotati Market under the new ownership. The guys that work nights are down to earth and friendly.

I like that this store isn't part of a major chain. You can find different things here than you'd find at a Chevron.

Price - A bit higher than the typical convenience store, however if I'm going to a convenience store, I'm generally not bargain hunting.

Staff - I see the same guy working the register each time I come in. He is friendly, although not super chatty. He won't tell you about walking uphill both ways in a blizzard to school, but he'll call you 'boss' and ask if you want a bag!

Selection - Fantastic. They have a beer wall. They have milk. They have energy drinks. They have cat food. They have human food. It's a typical convenience store with the added import foods section.

Overall, this is a good spot to get some last minute things. The hours are nice, as you can pop in and get milk, toilet paper, and beer, while avoiding strange looks. At 10PM.

Just tried to bring in my own service therapy dog and the older gentlemen who I believe is the owner, upon my entrance refused to give entrance to my legally allowed dog that is exempt from any California business requirements of prohibiting any SERVICE ANIMALS for any reason(s). He threw a massive fit and went on how dogs in his store in the past have peed on his place. He was a complete jerk and highly rude to me.

I love this place. It is the rugged local so so Bodega that every town needs. The people barely speak English, they can be nice or they can try to rip you off. They have a little bit of everything. Open anytime you need a late night snack. You can't beat the vibe and sketch this place brings out of you.

The most basic and important form of customer service is to be open for the hours you have posted. I was at the store at around 7am, nearly an hour after the posted 6am opening and the store was dark, nobody there. You have lost my business this morning, and henceforth.
