Upper Lake, California

Every loaf, every shelf,
meant to feel like home.

A corner store on Highway 20 where the bread is baked each morning, the produce is chosen with care, and the people who shop here are treated like neighbors.

About Us

A store that remembers
your name.

Upper Lake Grocery has been a quiet constant on East California Highway 20 for decades. We aren't trying to be the biggest store in the county — we're trying to be the one you trust. That means keeping shelves stocked with the items you actually reach for, ordering in the fresh goods you ask about, and making sure the person behind the register knows whether you take your coffee black or with cream.

Our bakery corner starts before dawn. The loaves you see in the window were mixed, shaped, and baked that morning. We source produce from local growers when the season allows and choose every product on our shelves as if it were going into our own kitchen.

Our Community

We're not just a store
on the corner.

Upper Lake is a town that looks out for itself, and we're part of that. We sponsor little league, donate to school events, and keep a shelf stocked for neighbors who need a little extra help making it to the end of the month.

When you shop here, you're keeping a local business on Highway 20 that would otherwise close — and you're supporting a place where someone still writes your name on the bag.
