Los Altos Readers' Choice Awards 2012

All this summer you've nominated and voted for your favorite local businesses in categories ranging from Best Burger and Best Outdoor Dining to Best Fruits/Veggies and Best Shoe Store.

We've tallied all the poll votes and now it's time to announce the winners. Sometimes it was close. Sometimes it was no contest. Sometimes readers wrote what they loved so much.

See below for our complete list of Readers' Choice winners. Congratulations to all!
