“Great variety, love the market feel this establishment has. Their carniceria has great cuts and has variety as well, I always get the ranchera for grilling, well worth it.”
“I love the store mainly for their meat and deli counters, its like a step back to old meat counters. Their Black garlic pepper marinade is phenomenal and the butchers are always happy to recommend items to you.”
“Classic mid-century, unupdated grocery store in Goleta. Cash & credit cards accepted. Friendly staff. Smaller meat section but a robust liquor section. Good basic fruit & veggie selection.”
“I had an incredible shopping experience. All of the staff were super friendly and very helpful. Would definitely recommend shopping here, and I will definitely be returning. I had the pleasure of talking to the store manager, Tina, and she was able to answer all of my questions, as well as help me with everything that I needed. They provide quality products with very good deals, and made grocery shopping a wonderful experience.”
“If you're looking for an Asian-focused market in the Goleta/Santa Barbara area this is a great option. Wide selection of various Asian food products including Chinese, Korean, Indian, and Japanese. Cookware and other kitchneware items also available. Some fresh-food or frozen food items as well. They sell PG Tips tea if you're into that, along with a decent selection of Asian teas and alternative hot beverage options. Get Hi-Chews here also. Friendly staff, cash & credit card payments.”
“Probably the best option for semi bulk groceries. Offers good quantity at a low price. Imagine Costco without members ship but less packets. Cashiers are nice. It's got everything you need really.”
“Is basically a full blown grocery store in Isla Vista! Has a very wide selection, and a good amount of international food items. Very well stocked with everything someone living in IV would need. Helpful staff as well!!”

“BASIC STORE WITH EXTRAORDINARY WORKERS:This is a relatively small-sized Albertson's, and yet one of the busier locations due to it's prominent space in the Calle Real Center in Goleta. It's not fancy, and in fact, is likely overdue for a much-needed makeover. However, it's clean and the workers go out of their way to smile and extend a little cheer, despite their busy days. I have had the pleasure of getting to know a few of the checkers as I often find myself stocking up at this location. Things I would not change:***Their lovely workers and their great attitude. Things I would change:*** More diversity of products (such as what I find at the Buellton Albertson's location).*** A much larger baked goods section or actually adding a small on-site bakery. Remember to say hi and thank your hard working essential service workers as you peruse.”
“Nico in the floral department was very helpful and so kind in helping me get balloons for my work event. He worked with my schedule and even picking the colors of the balloon over the phone. This is the best service and deals on helium balloons in the area. Highly recommend!”
“I have been here about four times and have always been pleased. I love how it's both a restaurant and a busy market. There are nice booths in front near the street. Parking has gotten way better since the Project Connect re-striping. And if you use a bike or the bus to access Old Town, you will find it much more safe now.”
“This Trader Joe's has the best parking lot of any location in the Santa Barbara/Goleta area. A definite plus. Also, they have a slightly larger store meaning the inside feels less cramped, and the shelves are always stocked.”
