βI just needed one quick thing. Trader Joe's served well. I might shop Trader Joe's more often but there is not one near my house or along my usual routes. They tend to be very faithful for the basic and wholesome groceries they carry.
If you are not familiar with this chain, there are a few things to know. Do not expect to find a lot of national brands, instead most things they carry are house brands. Do not expect to find that unusual ingredient for some fancy new recipe, what they carry are everyday type items. They do get some seasonal things, like canned pumpkin near Thanksgiving.
The stores are fairly small, but usually busy. They are also usually located in busy strip centers. While I do expect to be able to find parking somewhere, I find I need to be prepared to park several stores down.β
βAffordable and unique produce and foods you're not gonna find other places. I love it here, the desserts are super fun and I've been able to try fruits I've never had before!β
βClose to a little bit of everything with friendly help and good prices.My only gripe is that you buy something you like and return for more to find out they don't carry it any longer. So I guess their inventory is not dependable... but that is the downside of a closeout store right?β
βHad a lot of healthy and fun choices, and the service was incredible! Came back later for a curbside pickup and AJ was so polite and wonderful, definitely coming backβ
βOakley Main St., Somersville, and Sand Creek locations offer much of the same products yet some different inventories so it's always an adventure when passing time to peruse all the aisles. Staff is always pleasant and prices more than fair. I can never leave without first examining the cheese selection and ethnic aisles.β

βΓlways Γ pleasant Γ©xpeerience when my side car, Kimg and I walk to Pancho's and they always welcome us.( Provided he is leashed and has been trΓ ined by his Alfa ?)β
βI had a great experience here the other day. I brought my 5 year old son with me, and the store owner was so friendly and extremely helpful! He was so sweet with my son. I told him I was making shawarma, and he helped me get all of the ingredients I needed!β
βFirst time ever going into a WinCo. It's like Foodmax and Grocery Outlet had a baby. Prices are surprisingly affordable, produce is surprisingly decent, low l lots of cool stuff in bulk and they have everyday household products. Staff is friendly but kinda lack that engagement that makes it memorable. Aside from that, I'm definitely making it a regular spot to get my things.β

βI had great customer service experience. The new owner is very nice and friendly. The store is clean, neat, and well organized. Their meat is super fresh and the tandoori naan is super delicious!!! The prices are fair and affordable compared to other Afghan store.β
βLove this little taco shop. I get the buche, asada, and al pastor and the meat is always well seasoned and well portioned. Each taco order comes with grilled onions, radishes, and a lime. Super friendly staff too.
I get quite a bit of fresh meat here too. We love their Al pastor and asada for tacos at home. Give this market a chance, itβs definitely well stocked and reasonably priced.β
βThis is the cleanest FoodMaxx that I have been to ever. And I think this is the biggest one also. A lot of the stuff is organized. One thing that's bad is they only have one cashier sometimes they will have two on a good day. So the line is pretty longβ
βThey're a variety of stuff that can catch anyone's eye. I bought some drinks and at the market they have plenty of those.i would advice anyone to check it outβ

βI absolutely love this store, and I genuinely donβt understand why some people complain about the prices not always being the same or about products not being fresh enough.
Guys, when you come here, youβre paying the lowest prices possible, so yes, you are expected to actually choose the products that work for you. If something is close to its expiration date or doesnβt look perfect, just pick something else. Thatβs the whole point. Youβre getting deals you simply wonβt find anywhere else.
Iβve always had a positive experience here. The staff is polite, friendly, and Iβve never encountered rudeness or bad service and Iβm very picky when it comes to service and overall experience. You just get what you pay for. You are not asking for Ritz service in Holiday inn right?β

βYou can pick up just about everything you could need. They are a little pricier but have great customer service and ordering online to pick up at the store is super convenient, especially if you hate waiting in line.β
βMy family loves olive oil and this place is like heaven to us. Huge selection of their fresh extra virgin oil. Their olive farm is down the street. Their customer service is amazing and very welcoming. The young lady in the morning was very helpful and knowledgeable. We also got to taste some oils with some bread (FREE) it was a great experience. Highly recommend.β
βGreat place for local Mexican market and seasoned meats ready to bbq. I used to have to drive to Brentwood for my carnes but now these dudes are right here local in town. I like the fresh tortillas from El molino they are most authentic and made in concord. They have good salsas premade in the meat section when I'm in a rush and hungry. Cheeses are great too. I support them 120%β
βMy favorite store for grocery shopping in Brentwood. Staff are so helpful and great! Kudos to Erica!! Sheβs amazing and went the extra mile to help me find an item that I needed. ?β
βA huge shout out for both Toni (who decorated the cake) and Tobi (the department Supervisor, who took the order over the phone)
I called, asking for a 1/4 sheet cake for a wedding celebration that took place one month after the couple's wedding. I described in detail what I was looking for in name, design and detail. Tobi listened, caught my vision and said, "I got you!". Music to my ears!!! Then, Toni created the perfect cake and design for the occasion!!! An absolute blessing for the couple and guests!!!
Thank you so much!!! I am still in awe about how it all worked out!!!β
βBest Marina for Gas, Gear, Snacks and Drinks for all. He has anything and everything you could need out on the water from Fishing to Boating to drinking and fun. Carl is super nice and helpful and his dog Coco is the bestβ

βThe Raleyβs on Main Street is excellent, and we truly appreciate the convenience of its online shopping and pickup service, especially when weβve been recovering from illness and need to conserve energy by not shopping in person.β
βLove them they have the cheapest gas prices consistently, and they stock my drinks. I love these guys. They are also very kind when i occasionally brink my very inebriated friendβ
βLarge store, a bit of everything. Always find random stuff i dont need. Plus discounted products. Check the online coupons for saving$ kind of like a mini walmart. Conveniently located Next to laundrymat.β

βWent in last night only to find 1 checker and 1 older lady bagging and a line down the aisle.. (Nicole and Patricia I believe were their names).. beyond great customer service, fast and accurate, made sure my savings came off properly as I'm new to using the Safeway app.. I just wanted to let them know they did amazing even with customers complaining.. I believe the other checker was on lunch which was why there was only one (from what I over heard).. anyways these 2 ladies deserve something for their awesomeness! Love my neighborhood Safeway!!β

βThis new Safeway is absolutely beautiful. Everything is clean and well stocked every time I visit! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable for the most part, as they're a new store and everyone is still getting the hang of everything. There's a gentleman that works in the butcher department that greets me every time I'm there, and we chit chat for a bit. He always makes sure i'm finding everything that I'm looking for. It's refreshing to see some smiling faces while shopping!β

βGood gluten free section and has a better produce section than Raleys which never used to be the case. I also give it 5 stars because of how closely it is located to Growth Mindset Collective, which has the best Jiu jitsu instructor in the east bay.β
βJust got great customer service from Gio in the deli department. He was friendly and told me about a sale I was unaware of so I was able to save a little money. Keep up the good work!β
βThe fruit and vegetables are a lil more pricey but it's a one stop shop and so convenient to go too. Friendly workers easy in and out just like a busy mama wants to be! They stock up weekly just know the days and you'll be good.β
βMy husband is on his way to pick up case for Family. We share this delicious corn with Family n Friends. Always enjoyed by all. Thank you staff and employees for your outstanding and fast service!β
