Hamle Mediterranean Market — Attraction in Fountain Valley

Great customer services. Since its founding in 1966, Hamle Mediterranean Marketplace (Hamle Market) has been a family-owned grocery market. Hamle Mediterranean Market is the first Turkish grocery market in California. We specialize in selling a wide variety of authentic and hard to find Turkish products, national and international grocery brands, fresh produce, and deli items. Our store’s diversity is reflected not only in our wonderful products, but also in the cultural and ethnic mix of our wonderful customers and our employees. Here are some highlights of what you can find in our friendly store:

Authentic Turkish items, some directly imported by us. There are many ‘Middle-Eastern stores’ in the region, but none that bring you the authentic flavors of Turkey as we do, because they are not Turkish. Whether you are a baklava connoisseur, or picky about your feta cheese, or miss that authentic ‘sucuk’, or sour cherry jam, or tea biscuits, you will find all the familiar Turkish tastes here. If you want to make authentic Turkish tea or Turkish coffee, we carry the equipment as well as the original Turkish teas and coffees.

A wide range of international grocery items catering to the cuisines of that region. We have Persian, Armenian, Greek, Arabic, Bosnian, and Mediterranean items.

Our fresh produce is of highest quality and at the best prices you can find. When you visit, you will be able to tell the difference because we carefully select only the highest quality items to bring to our store. And, you will be amazed at how low the prices are for high quality produce. In season, you will also find unique produce items such as fresh dates, or sour plums, or green almonds.

Our deli section has a variety of cold cuts, cheeses, olives, and other items. We can slice your pastirma the way you like, or give you a coil of 'Sucuk' to go with your eggs, or a wedge of 'Kasar' (Kasseri) for your special grilled cheese.

In our refrigerated section, you will find the national brands of dairy products and tasty yogurt selections, as well as some special prepared foods like ‘borek’ or ‘lahmacun’, hand made by local artisans.

Our bulk goods provide you a wide selection of nuts, grains, rice, and other items in amounts you desire. You may especially like the authentic, smaller yet tastier Turkish pistachios, not found elsewhere around here.

We also have a variety of non-food items from inexpensive calling cards, to music CDs. We bring all these and more to you in a small and friendly store, where you will find personalized attention and Turkish hospitality in a non-pretentious setting, as it has always been. We are now also pleased to serve you online, no matter...

Serious Concerns About Food Quality and Customer Service at Hamle Mediterranean Market! I am deeply disappointed with my recent online order from Hamle Mediterranean Market. The baklava (advertised as air mailed from Turkey) and pistachio cookies (Turkish food) I ordered were not only rotten and expired but had also completely lost their shape, indicating poor storage, shipping and handling. Upon contacting customer support to address the issue, I was met with a response that was dismissive and unprofessional, which only added to my frustration.

It's disheartening to see a grocery store not standing by its products, especially when it involves food safety. Additionally, there seems to be a discrepancy between the overwhelmingly positive reviews online and the quality of service and products I received, raising concerns about the authenticity of those reviews.

I will be reporting this matter to the Food Safety Authority to ensure that no other customer has to experience what I went through. It's crucial for potential customers to be aware of these issues. I strongly advise exercising caution and considering other local options where quality and customer respect...

I live in North California and I frequently place online orders to buy a variety of products from Hamle Market. I'm absolutely amazed with the quality of service that they provide. Their website/online ordering system is very robust and order processing times is fast. They show utmost care to properly pack and ship each and every item. Fragile items are packed in stretch films and bubble wraps. Perishable items are carefully packed in insulative packaging and they make sure to put dry ice to keep them cold. Perishables definitely stay cold for min 1.5-2days (which is my case) but i'm sure they can stay cold and fresh longer. Shipping for orders above $59 is free, which is amazing! Frankly ordering from Hamle Market is more convenient for me than shopping from local Mediterranean markets. Last but not least, their customer service is above and beyond. The owner Esra responds to your inquiries in less than 24hours and she is very attentive. Also when you give a call to the store, staff does their best to respond your inquiries and even inform you about availability of the products. Highly recommend everyone to shop from...
