Alco's Famous Market, Deli & Bakery
339/341 Enfrente Rd, Novato, CA
Crema's Take
“Alco's is a quirky, no-frills neighborhood institution where you're the architect of your own sandwich at their build-it-yourself counter, with the price determined by weight—it's equal parts deli efficiency and mild gamble. Open 24 hours with a genuine community vibe and genuinely friendly staff, it's the kind of place where locals keep coming back for the independence and value, even if the ownership has shifted over the years.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
