I really love Instacart and use them often: they did a great job so far.

What I am consistently amazed at, is how they manage to get press for every new city or stores added. I mean, they are a successful Company but there are other cool growing Companies that get new clients or expand to new cities or launch new products, and we don't hear about them all the time. I don't blame them for getting press. I blame the press for being so pageviews driven that they don't deliver news or reporting anymore but press releases or newsletters' content.

Keep up the good work though!

Awesome! As an East Bay resident this is exactly what I have been waiting for!

Aww. You can't add Oakland or Berkeley & not have Berkeley Bowl as a grocery store option. =[

My main problem with Instacart is that when shopping in person at Safeway, I can usually get 10-20% savings using my loyalty card. I don't get this benefit when using Instacart. This by itself makes me very hesitant to use it, even though my experience with Instacart has been nothing short of amazing (save for some products not being available, but that's not their fault).

How does this compare to something like FreshDirect in NYC? Used freshdirect for a long time and it always felt so amazing. The timing savings always makes me feel good about paying the higher cost.

I've never felt the need to order my groceries via an app, could have just been a web experience and I would have been just as interested in using Instacart. Always wondered why they started with an app.

Hope this expands to LA soon.

I used this last week and it worked splendidly. Wish they were a little more transparent about the $35->free shipping offer being promotional, though. (After the first order it's $70->free shipping)

Thank you so much!

Please add pickup from Tokyo Fish Market and Berkeley Bowl, both in Berkeley, and maybe Mollie Stone's.
