Best trader joes in the area but many items where sold out due to popularity used to be much better but staff are nice helpful and cheerful. Has a nice community atmosphere the Michaels and Bay federal and fed ex also make it a convenient all in one stop!

This is really about Trader Joe's. It's still part of Brown Ranch Marketplace. I hardly ever go grocery shopping in this area. Even though they still have the best food choices than Safeway does. Whole Foods is the same thing.

Thai restaurant that just opened up. The food was very good and service as well. I had a Thai Ice Tea, Ginger Chicken, and Tom Kha.
