Grocery Stores in Tahoe City, CA

“An eclectic country grocery which as its name suggests favors natural and “healthier” foods, including a large selection of supplements.

The spaces are a little cramped and the merchandise display seemed to me capable of being better organized.

I also wonder if they wouldn’t be able to broaden their clientele a bit by stocking a few gourmet items like duck confit or tinned cassoulet, or American farmed caviar alternatives. I understand the market may be seasonal, but the owners might consider risking a few thousand dollars in that kind of inventory, to see if there’s any demand.

The other patrons looked well-to-do, and would undoubtedly be supportive.”

“There is an amazing baker here making the tastiest cinnamon rolls. I came by the market in February at opening when the rolls were coming out of the oven. They normally come with cream cheese frosting for those who like the richness of it, but I’m allergic to cream cheese. Dinorah, the baker, was kind enough to make a simple sugar icing for the two cinnamon rolls I bought. I ate one warm while at the market. I had the other one after snowboarding and it was still fantastic. I’m back here in April for 3 days and l’ve bought 8 more cinnamon rolls to share with friends, but honestly, I’ve eaten most of them. I call before I come to request the sugar icing, and she’s so kind to accommodate. I haven’t tried the other baked goods as I’m obsessed with the cinnamon roll, but they look delicious.”

“I will highly recommend this Safeway. I informed an employee about some food that was past its sell By date Kris hopped into action, taking the expired food off the shelves Jeff and the meat department went above and beyond showing me where the item I was looking for was and the manager Brad was very friendly in the meat department as well. I would highly recommend the Safeway compared to the one in Truckee where I live near the team here is great.”
