Winmart Russian deli in Sunnyvale closed; any nearby suggestions?

I drove passed Winmart recently, and noticed that the store has been emptied out, even though the signage remains. Sure enough, it's labeled as closed on Yelp, but with no further info, afaict.

Sad to see this Eastern European deli in the south bay go away. Does anyone have suggestions for similar stores in the south bay or peninsula? I haven't been to Samovar in MV for a while, but do wonder if there are other recommended ones in my area.

      Evgeni, thanks for those suggestions! I was just thinking about Eastern European foods recently, how comforting they could be with the oncoming cool weather. :)

      What about Samovar?

      1077 Independence Ave
      Mountain View, CA 94043

      I work right nearby and am still checking things out - but y*lp says "deli" as well as catering.

        Sorry to hear that. Have you been to Crossroads Market on San Antonio in Palo Alto? Not just Eastern European but it does have a fair representation.

          Thanks for the suggestion, Melanie. I'll check out Crossroads Market sometime, perhaps combine it with a trip to the Milk Pail. :)
