“Omg...best Rattlesnake sandwich, juicy, full of meat, veggies, toasted sourdough bread. And my chicken curry salad is the best salad I've had in forever. Lots of curry chicken, avocado, thin slices red onions,cucumbers, tomatoes, goat cheese, all on a gigantic bed of fresh sprouts and baby lettuces. Delicious, delicious. Hippy natural food store with casual dining delis. The berry smoothie also quenches your thirst. We'll be back again for this jewel in Auburn. Easy parking lot in back.”
“I had their chicken burrito today and it was huge and the wettest burrito that I’ve ever had (much better than a dry one) but I thought it was too big and had too much stuff in it. It fell out of the tortilla as i was eating so I had to re-wrap using the foil. Very tasty.”
“Went here today to support our local carniceria. Got el pastor and some other items. Excellent service. Highly recommended. Lots of fantastic items to choose from. Support local.”
“Ikeda’s is one of those places that has become a destination all by itself. What started as a fruit stand has grown into a unique specialty market, restaurant, bakery, and gift shop all rolled into one. It’s like walking into an indoor farmers market filled with fresh produce, local goods, canned foods, specialty items, and some of the best baked goods around. On this visit, we stopped for lunch and enjoyed burgers, fries, and shakes. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. We’ve also had their pot pies in the past, and they’re always excellent. The quality of the food is consistently good, which is one of the reasons we keep coming back. Of course, Ikeda’s is famous for its pies, and for good reason. This time we tried the Dutch Apple Pie and the Marionberry Pie, and both were absolutely delicious. The crust was flaky, the fillings were generous, and every bite reminded us why their pies have such a great reputation. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the facilities are clean and well-maintained. Whether you’re stopping for a meal, shopping for fresh produce, or just grabbing a slice of pie, Ikeda’s is worth the visit. We’ll definitely be back again—and probably leaving with more pie than we planned on buying!”
“Excellent grocery store that has all the essentials and quite a lot of gourmet / specialty items. The deli has great sandwiches. Perfect for road trips or a quick lunch. Produce is very fresh too!”
“This is where the big $20 million Set For Life scratcher was sold. And this is where I get my craft beer. Foothill Market stocks: Liquid Gravity, Sudwerk, Revision, Crooked Lane, Big Sexy, Altamont, New Glory, Bullmastiff, Tower, Black Plague, Dust Bowl, Pliny, ect... The best feature of this store is, you can buy a single beer or receive a 5% discount on a mix and match four pack. I would recommend checking the dates on the craft beer before you purchase them.

“I shop Grocery Outlet before I go to another supermarket. They don't always have everything you need, but if you can find it there, you most likely find it for less. Plus if you search around, you can usually find a good deal on things that aren't found elsewhere.”
“This place is worth raving about. The owner literally gave me a full on pep talk as I was grabbing gas before nervously heading on my way to meet my boyfriends parents for the first time. You can tell he genuinely cares about the lives of his patrons. He had a sweet doggie resting with him in the store as well. I love the vintage gas pumps, that is too cool. You never see stuff like that anymore and they've been so well taken care of. It looked like there was almost a diner of sorts inside in addition to the quick mart but I did not stay to check it out. This seems like a real staple of Clipper Gap and definitely more than just a gas station, but a true part of the community.”
“love coming here for the really fresh produce everythinng is always so good kinda wish they had better signs i feel like i always drive past the entrance a couple times not a dissapointment though”
“So I recently visited this Bel Air in Auburn, and let’s just say, it looks NOTHING like the pictures on here. FALSE ADVERTISEMENT. My lawyers will be hearing about this one. Ps: really nice cashiers, love you Helena!”
“Best real food grocery store. Fresh soups daily. Salad bar. Hot food bar. Bakery items. Bulk items include herbs, teas, seasoning, honey, olive oil, the best peanut butter. Just go.”
“Smart and final is super helpful for our business. It helps us stay stocked up on our cleaning supplies and snacks that we sell to our customers. Definitely worth checking out to stock up on items or get competitive pricing for products to use at your business”
“Wow!!! Amazing job to whoever hired terry & brandon!!!!! Terry is phenomenal, I’ve never met someone like him. Everyone loves him. My children. He’s so pure and an amazing worker. He brings so much joy to this world.”
“Stop for gas as it was on our side of the street. Gas was lowest CASH price at this intersection. Can accommodate 4 cars for gas. Being a weekend it was VERY busy. Little chaotic, but not dangerous. Hubs said you have to peek in the store. First thing I noticed they had a restroom. Got the key easily. Clean bathroom. The mini mart is amazingly packed with all the things a road trip or quick stop on one's way home needs. All the fancy drinks. Lots of alcohol choices. Snacks! Large frisbee assortment. What?! Is there frisbee golf near by?”
“I am writing this Yelp because after a bad Deli sandwich experience about 1 month ago, I thought I would give the Deli department another try. Today I went into the store and stopped at the Deli Sandwich Bar. I was promptly greeted by Jonathan who had a smile on his voice and a friendly greeting. OK, that's the way to start off. I ordered a large sandwich and he made me a beautiful sandwich. By that, I mean he thought about the sandwich as he made it. The spread covered the entire surface of the bread, the meat was laid out so it was on the bread and not spilling off the sides, the cheese was applied with equal precision so it covered the bread and meat. I asked if he would microwave the bacon so it was crisp and he said, "of course". He toasted the entire sandwich, cut it in half, wrapped it and it was perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed every bite of the sandwich. Jonathan was a pleasure to deal with. Thanks Jonathan for a great sandwich- you obviously take pride in your work and it shows. I hope Safeway appreciates you- you do them proud. Cheers,Michael H.Auburn”
“It's a funky, little store, but I like it. I used to take my Papa here every week. The proprietor always remembered him and what he bought. He always kept Papa's items in stock.My Papa passed away on December 20th, 2021. The owner still remembers me. I appreciate how he takes care of his customers.I don't give it 5 stars because it isn't the nicest, cleanest store. It's a blender out there! I always lock my car to when going in for a quick trip.”
“As I have said in previous posts, rayleighs and bill air knob Hill family of stores and supermarkets is up gym in California. Their selection, produce and staff are their best selling points. There Delhi is top notch Goma their bakery is excellent and their meat department will always have the best selection of the best needs with knowledgeable experts to help you choose whatever you might be intrested in cooking order at least trying to cook.”
“Its a local grocery store with a good deli and large selection of items. The produce is good. The deli is exceptional with a large selection of meats cheeses and many pre-made dishes of pasta and various salads. The staff is kind of snotty, but relax a little when they realize you are a local.”
“My wife and I came into town, AUBURN, CA again today. We needed to get our dog's nails clipped. Well, she needed to stop in at Save Mart for 1-2 items. She came out with five bags of goodies!!! She had just been in your store yesterday and emptied her wallet!! LOL She is really happy when she shops at your store and I get to reap the rewards, plus play monopoly haha!! It is a pleasure for me to see her smile again after the last few years she's had, and I will continue to support her move to Save Mart. Thank you. P.S...we love your chicken pot pies and your fried chicken...actually she loves everything about your store...I haven't been in there yet...but I will!!!”

“Have had my moments years ago living by this place but they really are good people here. They are very nice and get you what you need. They make jokes talk to you and get to know you. A great experience. You gotta come here.”
The Cincinnati-based supermarket giant will open about 110 new stores in fast-growing markets by 2029 and introduce three updated store formats, executives told investors Oct. 20 at the company’s Investor Update in New York. Kroger already runs about 2,700 stores in 35 states. The formats come in three sizes, a bit like small, medium and large, matched to each market. Mary Ellen Adcock, Kroger’s executive vice president and chief merchant and marketing officer, walked through the lineup.
Walmart shoppers want a head start on the holidays, and money explains a lot of it. Some 44% of respondents call affording the holidays their top stressor, and 61% say holiday costs shape their shopping mood. Asked what would make the season easier, 70% picked lower prices and 57% picked more deals and promotions. Convenience ranks lower: 30% want one-stop shopping across categories, and 20% want faster delivery.
Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country. The grocer also took first place in the American Customer Satisfaction Index's 2026 supermarket rankings. It has held a spot near the top of that list for years.
Target is rolling out its most ambitious store overhaul in more than ten years, with plans to remodel over 130 locations and open 30 new stores across the country this year. The retailer is also putting money into supply chain technology upgrades to keep pace with how shoppers buy today.
