Hamilton Euromarket

Balkan Wine, Rakija, and European Grocery in Alhambra

Hamilton Euromarket brought Balkan and European groceries to the Los Angeles area, stocking Croatian wine, rakija, and hard-to-find treats like medeno srce honey cookies alongside Polish pierogi and pantry staples from more than twenty countries. The Alhambra store is part of a two-location California chain that also ships shelf-stable groceries nationwide.

Shelves cover pantry staples, cheese, and cured meats from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia, Poland, Albania, and other countries, alongside a beer, wine, and spirits section stocked with Balkan rakija and imported European wine.

Regulars come back for treats that are hard to find anywhere else in the area, from pate and ajvar to wafer sheets and honey cookies, and the store sits on a side street with easier parking than most Main Street shops nearby. Shoppers can also order shelf-stable groceries online through the same catalog used by the San Jose location, with nationwide shipping available.
