Where can I buy rosewater on the island?

I will be making Kheer (Indian rice pudding, with rosewater and pistachios) for an event at my daughter's school, and I am out of rosewater. I used to get it at Beverages & More at Jack London, but I didn't see it there my last two trips, and it's a pain to get there by public transit, anyway.

This needs to be food-grade rosewater--often times essential oils are not edible!

Does the Alameda Natural Grocery have it? Are there any shops specializing in the foods of certain cultures that have it.

I'd also love to get some orange flower water, if someone knows where on the island I can get it.

Thanks in advance.

    It's unlikely you will find rosewater on the island. I've tried finding many SE Asian/Indian products on the island without avail!!! But there is a store in San Leandro you can find all of that it's called "Santos" It's an Indian store/distributor. I found it by accident. I usually go all the way to Berkeley to get my Indian products.

    Santos Spice Products
    1188 Montague St
    (between Alvarado St & Teagarden St)
    San Leandro, CA 94577
    (510) 357-0277

    Ohhh grrr...you are taking public transit.
    It's on the same block as Marina Shopping Area...just turn right at the end of the block and you'll see Santos sign straight ahead. About a block down.
