“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.”

“This place is always our fav while visiting Santa Cruz. Not only fresh and amazing groceries but also great, healthy smoothies and salad bar. We sometimes eat all three meals here!”
“It's got your basics and then some. Good assortment of drinks, ice cream and made to order food..
I.got a burger today. But they have some great mexican food options.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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…”
“When I pay a visit to thos place, I now find not one plaything in this area. At times, they can and will grab my attention the most. Definitely you won't find any adult toy in this area.”
“Found this spot recently and just ate there for the first time today. It's an awesome place with a huge selection. Tried the carne asada tacos and the carnitas super burrito and both were delicious. The carnitas were tender and juicy and the asada was crispy, smoky, and extremely flavorful. Really good food and a really good price. Will definitely be back again”
“Great bodega with everything you need run by a lovely family that's been part of the community for as long as I can remember. I came here as a child to buy ice cream and candy and it's still the best place in the neighborhood to pick up whatever you need. A real locals' spot. Long live Circle Market :)”
“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”
