“Parking easy.am cripple.usualky carts in rack near handicapped parking. Staff helpful in finding things. I like their pink grapefruit sparkling water. Have butter from Brittany.”
“It is what it is. Some good affordable wines, an organic vegetable section and part of a health food aisle. I go there first then a short trip to a more traditional grocery store.”
“By far the best grocery experience around. Shopper's has an amazing selection in a small store that's easy to navigate and find what you want, whatever it is, without walking for miles in a large corporate big box like Whole Foods.The produce and butcher are top notch. If you want the best veggies, this will usually be better than even the farmer's market.”
“This is a great little grocery store. A Santa Cruz legend. I love to shop here. It's small so it doesn't have everything under the sun but usually I find what I need!”
“My favorite store in Santa Cruz I’ve judged most stores by the price of their lemons (the most common produce of California) they are the cheapest of ALL other markets like Whole Foods- Safeway - Shoppers Corner etc.”
“They had a great burrito. A little on the spicy side so recommend going mild if you're not into spicy. Very filling. Walked across the street to a great view of crashing waves. Cashier was friendly and happy to be there.”
“I live within a block of Whole Foods so I am there often, sometimes daily. I am recognized by staff & greeted so kindly. I have become quite fond of many of them, even running a 5k with one. I also enjoy the produce, so much I won't buy my produce anywhere else. The meat department staff are always so helpful & available for any questions. The selection on Salad bar is the best. All around such a positive experience from the walk in the door, to the cashiers & everything in between.”
“Very fast and friendly service.Respectful and cordial to customers, lounge outside for enjoying the goods purchased from the establishment. Recycling bin separate from garbage pail. COVID free, and NOT subject to flooding. Fresh products.”
“I like the selection and the produce seems clean and fresh. It has most of what I need. The meat and fish section has a reasonable variety, and they have the best variety of eggs.”
“Located off of California Ave & Walk this market is the oldest in Santa Cruz.
Currently owned by the Kim family please stop on by at your convinence!”
“Best breakfast burritos around. Must have the chorizo and eggs. This market also has a great selection of meat and canned goods. The tortilla packs come in all sizes. The basic fresh produce.”
“The best burrito in all Monterey, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara, Sacramento and San Joaquin County. There is no denying it. The size, the flavor and the price cannot be beat. Truly the best burrito. Plus the staff is friendly. What more do you want…”
“Always such nice butchers and great service in the meat department . The rest of the store has great product selection and decent prices . Awesome stuff at the front of the store. Great place to shop just wish it was open to at least 9 or 10.pm.”
“Nice market right off the road with plenty of parking..if they are not too busy you could even get a rv pulled in. They have a good selection of grocery, dairy, and beers. Attendant was polite and helpful when I had a question.”
“Its a run down Safeway in need of a face lift, but its in the lower end of Santa Cruz, so thats not going to happen. Clientele are extremely liberal and many homeless running around. Stocked shelves.”
“I had the best experience with the bakery at this Safeway. Ruben, Judith and the wonderful lady that I spoke with on the phone(bless you and your patience with me and my questions) absolutely crushed it and made me feel heard and welcomed when I was picking up my cake. They all deserve a raise for how they accommodated me. Just a 10/10 experience. Thank you all so much <3”

“Reg corner store vibes, random objects, all the american and mexi snacks you can ask for, decent beer and cheap wine. 5-stars for not trying to be anything its not.”
“Linda was very helpful and friendly. The store is clean and stocks the basics at a reasonable price for California let alone the area. It's cash only but very close to the boardwalk.”
“Vegan-friendly! We made a quick stop to grab a bottle of wine and something sweet, and OMG we’re surprised by vegan desserts which is RARE!!! They also have vegan lentil curry with coconut milk which is super delicious, our cashier told us. We haven’t had a chance to explore the store more but we will 10000000% back when in the area!”
