“What is not to like about trader Joe's?? Through the summer they're going to have some root beer float candy. You'll have to stop by and pick some up and even has the fizzy Pop things in it.”
“This is what an old time, owner run grocery used to be like and should be like. Owner who cares about customers.
In addition to all the staples, the store stocks a huge variety of gourmet and imported 'finds'. Think local flavored butters, imported Italian pasta, local organic tofu, imported anchovies, and local baked fresh sourdough breads. And fantastic chocolate options
And the best part is the prepared food section. Food really prepared as if at home. Sarah prepared a different specialty each day, options like shepherds pie, chicken pot pie, Parmesan encrusted chicken and stuffed peppers. And a daily selection of BBQ ribs with different sauces. All at great prices. Eat fresh and save.
The BEST deal in Pacific Grove.”
“Went the weekend before Thanksgiving. Needed to tri tip. Unfortunately, it was BOGO. Staff saved me 2 as I drove over. Prices were very good for food. Employees were friendly and asked if they could help. Fresh food looked good quality, as did the meats. Everything we bought was great. Wish I had gone back here for groceries instead of the very spendy Safeway- and yes, I did use my card at Safeway. Lucky was a gem.”
“Recently helped do flowers for a friends wedding (on a super budget) asked about special ordering the flowers and Ramon ( I believe is his name) went above and beyond to help. Flowers were on time and beautiful. I was super happy and grateful for the extra help ! Great service”
“You have specials every week, a large parking lot and I like that they close late, most of the stores at 9 are already closed and I only wish they had more things from Mexico, like yogurt and more Mexican-style meats.”
“I enjoy coming to Lucky because it's not a huge store and it feels personable to see the same friendly ladies working.Always so helpful,even when they are short staffed and super busy.They are kind and always seem to have a smile.”
“Our main grocery store with high quality vegetables, meat and fish and bread baked at the store. Clean and well-organized, with a large selection of almost everything, including wine. Very friendly and helpful staff that have become pleasantly familiar to visit. Generally decent prices - taking advantage of the sales makes a big difference.”
“The customer service was incredible. So kind and helpful. We are traveling from out of state and the owner gave us great recommendations. He made us feel so welcome to Monterey. Good beverage choice, snacks, games and essentials.”
