What a nice store! All the staff we encountered were pleasant and helpful. We had sandwiches made at the deli. They were excellent and deli staff were superb. We got dessert (excellent macarons!) at the bakery/coffee counter and the staff member was very helpful. All good.
Usually busy. Great food. Compare prices because some things you can get somewhere else for half the price. But I do appreciate organic/high quality food stores.
High quality, locally owned alternative to Whole Foods that showcases local brands and indie products whenever possible. If you join their loyalty program, they send discounts and high value free items. Not just a can of energy drink or some short dated item that isn't moving (like the big S does) but stuff like half a pound of shrimp the size of your finger, a bag of organic coffee, 750 ml California olive oil, or a bag of organic mandarin oranges. Went in for the free coffee and found a bargain on Bob's Red Mill flour on the same aisle.

This review is just for the deli.To order a sandwich, you have to write your order on a piece of paper and place it in a basket.Unfortunately my friend and I waited >20mins despite people after us getting their sandwiches before we did. Because other customers’ order papers ended up on top of ours, our orders got buried under customers who ordered after us.I’m sure the sandwich is well made but the system in which orders get through needs to he updated.
They get a four because I know they have a couple of stores they do have a great selection on organic foods however tonight they were out of a lot of food I was really shocked 21 items on my list they were completely out of six items just kind of rare for them but overall they're pretty good
