Produce is good, other groceries are fine I guess, although staples are much cheaper elsewhere. Enjoy the neighborhood coupons.
New location's layout is abysmal -- especially the produce section crowding the checkout and how much of the store is dedicated to food bars.

The new store is wonderful, but i received a call regarding the drawing that was held when you first opened, i was in the shower, so my grandchild answered, a lady said we won a drawing prize and to come by, when i stopped in, nobody knew anything about it. 😊

The vegan BLAT Bacon Lettuce Avocado Tomato sandwich is a great lunch option, brought it with me to work on a day that I didn't bring food from home. The tempeh bacon was nice and crispy and savory. Also, tried the Thai cabbage peanut salad which was very fresh and flavorful.
For more than 30 years New Leaf Community Markets has been making important choices that nourish and sustain our Central Coast communities. We opened our doors as a small cooperative in 1985 on the Westside of Santa Cruz. Now, 5 community-hub grocery stores later, we remain true to our progressive roots and good for the community ethos. We know that the well-being of our customers, staff and community starts with sustainable, locally produced food. Protecting and bettering our environment depends on the same. Farm-to-table all the way. That's why you'll find so much California-grown natural, organic food sustainably produced by farmers, ranchers and fishers in our stores. Much of it from within 100 miles! That's how local local is for us.
