Our team is available by phone and email Monday through Friday 9am–5pm; Saturday and Sunday 9am–3pm. If we are unavailable, please leave a message or send us an email and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
Delivery is available from 7:30am–4pm Monday through Friday, and 8am–3pm on Saturday and Sunday.
For pickup at our Oakland location, pull into our parking lot off of Shafter Avenue and drive to the back of the lot. You will see a banner with the pickup phone number to text, 510-575-0636 for service.
Pickups are available Monday through Sunday during Market Hall Foods store hours. Please be sure to check store hours, as there are seasonal changes.
Orders always depend on our availability. When our calendar permits, orders must be placed at least 48 hours ahead of time. Earlier is always better as our Pickup schedule often closes a week or two in advance, especially around the Winter holidays and the month of May (because of graduations). Please call as soon as possible to book your date; your menu can be finalized later. Orders for the weekend or Mondays must be confirmed by noon on Friday.
See Our Food for more about what makes our food so special.
We are passionate about provenance. All of our meat and seafood is GMO-free and from humane sources—like Mary’s Free Range Air-Chilled Chicken, grass-fed beef from Storm Hill Beef Cooperative, Beeler’s Pure Pork ham and bacon, Diestel Turkey Farms turkey, PureFish salmon from the northwest Isles of Scotland and wild-caught Gulf Shrimp. We use only local, cage-free eggs. We're in the produce market every morning at 4am to find the freshest fruits and vegetables available. Our yogurt is organic from Straus Family Creamery and Wallaby, and our cheeses are thoughtfully sourced by our award-winning cheesemongers. The olive oil we use is exclusively extra virgin olive oil. We serve locally ground, organic coffee from Oakland Coffee.
Absolutely! We can offer menus for gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, vegetarian, and more. We will be happy to guide you through our menus and suggest variations to accommodate your dietary needs. We also offer many light menus, menus featuring whole grains, and lighter Mediterranean and Asian dishes. (We do not operate a gluten-free or a nut-fee kitchen, so we cannot guarantee there will not be cross-contamination.)
Please contact us via our Contact Us page.
The majority of our menu items meet the Eat Well guidelines. For the items that don't, we offer substitutions, like whole grain breads. Please see our Eat Well Menu.

We are genuinely concerned about our planet's welfare and are a little obsessed with finding new ways to reduce the amount of disposable items our food and service requires. All of our packaging, serveware (trays, bowls and lids), and tableware is compostable (plates, bowls, utensils, containers, cups and napkins). It is made from BPI certified renewable and reclaimed (from bio-waste) sugarcane. Our black plastic serving utensils are recyclable.
There is a $350 food minimum for Delivery & Setup. The delivery charge to the cities of Oakland, Piedmont, Berkeley, Albany and Emeryville is $60 for weekdays, $70 for weekends. Delivery fees are higher for cities farther away.
Our policy is to limit any changes to 5 days prior to your event, but we understand that sometimes unexpected things happen. We will try to accommodate last-minute increases whenever possible. Together, we’ll review which menu items we might be able to increase, and recommend other items to supplement those that we can’t.
Yes, we offer Market Hall Foods Gift Baskets and Boxes to suit every taste and occasion: for customers, clients, guests, friends and family. Choose from tempting snack boxes for the office to Mariage Frères gift sets for the avid tea drinker to our bestselling Taste of Market Hall gift basket—or dream up your own custom gift to suit your needs. Call us to discuss options. We’ll help you find just the thing!
Platters and Menus are delivered on serveware as specified in each category. We can provide compostable and recyclable disposables, table coverings, beverages and disposable chafing dishes.
We're so glad you asked. Our ongoing, shared efforts to respect the environment and reduce waste will make a difference. Here's a guide for properly disposing of our serveware, tableware and packaging. This guide is applicable to the City of Oakland only. If you live outside of Oakland, please consult your local municipality's guidelines. Do be sure to rinse all containers before recycling them. And thanks again for caring!
