You'll find Bashas in the Carefree Marketplace. I went in for oranges and bananas. Staff are super sweet here. Found my goodies, paid for them, and that was it. Shared parking lot and Wi-Fi in the store. read more

A smaller grocery store than some, but definitely a good alternative in the Carefree/Cavecreek area. Very organized, super clean store with a lot more items than you may imagine. A lot of specialty items as well!! Well stocked!! read more

All scanner self checkout is a horrible decision for this location! Bad idea! This is a small community with many older residents. We don't want to check out our own groceries. We will lose our small grocery store to people not agreeing to this and just driving a little further! Starting with me! I am sad they made this decision. Please reconsider! read more

Advisement on purchasing meat from Bashas. This store doesn't handle their fresh meat with care. We purchased a beef brisket with getting ready to prepare with opening to the most foul odor. It was so bad that we had all to do to get it out of our home. Grateful that it wasn't eaten as it would have more than gotten everyone violently ill or worse. Sorry to have purchased meat at a second rate grocery store. Beware to not purchase anything from this meat counter. Time to contact the state health department. Beef prices are high enough without wasting money at Bashas. read more

Needs new mgmnt. They are always under staffed. Too much turnover. Always short of help at the Meat counter!!! No one last long enough to build a solid relationship with its customers. at the meat counter. Selection for area is extremely poor. Produce dept always has rotten items. Pastry counter always looks like they are out of biz. This store needs intervention with strong leadership skills. read more

The floral department at Basha's in Carefree (and Christine in particular) is absolutely amazing. After trying to work with a number of different florists for a small wedding and not feeling particular satisfied, I finally ran into Bashas for groceries and realized their flower department was amazing. The "off the shelf" designs in the coolers are gorgeous so I decided to ask if they could help with my wedding flowers. Christine was so much more professional and creative than every other florist I talked to. She ended up doing all the flowers for my wedding and the results were STUNNING. I felt that she truly cared about my wedding and making sure I got the results I wanted. I could not be more happy (and the prices were so much more reasonable). These pictures don't even capture how gorgeous everything is. Highly highly recommend her!! Updated to add bouquet picture! read more

Best in the area of Carefree . Staff is excellent and food is quality. Starbucks is an added bonus read more

I was very disappointed with my shopping experience here. I was in the area and couldn't find herbs at my local supermarket so I dropped in to pick up herbs here. They did have herbs but there wasn't any hand sanitizer or wipes anywhere. Even the 99cent store offers sanitizing wipes and hand sanitizer. This also was the only supermarket that still uses the moving belt without sanitizing. The cashier also put his hands all over my purchase without gloves. They had some empty shelves like all the other supermarkets. This is not a safe place to shop during the pandemic. read more

If you're looking for a local grocery store with great customer service look elsewhere. I drove over 20 miles to get a filet roast that was advertised on sale. They were out but told me they were expecting a delivery the next day. I asked if I could reserve one and come back tomorrow and get it. The manager of the meat department chuckled as if that was an absurd ask and said no. He recommended me look elsewhere, or call another Basha's location. Not the customer service I remember from Basha's. read more

16.00 for a bone in New York ...effort...build bbq fire...5 min per side...perfect med rare...LIKE CHEWING ON YOUR BOOT! Don't buy meat here! read more

I haven't minded paying a little more at this store because of the extra level of service. Alas, today cashier 105 lowered the service bar; she plopped the bags on the counter, gave me a challenging look and refused to load the bags in the cart. By contrast, the produce fellow was extremely helpful, courteous and knowledgeable about products about which I inquired. Sigh........ read more

Nice grocery store with all the basics plus more--deli, flowers, imported cheese, etc.

Best part of Basha's Carefree is the Starbucks and adjoining patio. Love when the "garage door" is open. Favorite barista is Coco. Almost shouldn't even post this. It's such a hidden gem . read more

selection of food is terrible, wanted wings but they didn't have tongs and I wasn't gonna mix the wong sauce with the tongs and the lady who helped me wouldn't even toast a sandwich, you work at a deli and you won't even toast a sandwich. I was hesitant on going to this store in the first place and now I know to never go back. who ever worked the day shift at the deli on 3/7/20 is absolutely terrible. read more

Upscale and quaint. Enjoyed shopping here. Many fine food and fresh produce selections, and fun gift themed endcaps.

This Basha store has just undergone a great renovation . It's always clean,everything is easy to find, and it's small enough to get in and out fast..except for today when we decided to sit a bit ,get huge iced teas and share a cannoli. There is a small Starbucks at the other end of the store for those of you who a need a caffeine fix . Need cereal,fish for dinner,fancy ice cream they have it.my fav is the organic and gluten free section-from shampoo to cookies to fruits,you'll probably find what you need and want read more

I love Bashas! It's small and quaint!! A real small town feel in a beautiful setting. The produce is fresh and well presented. Everyone there is friendly and helpful and really seem to be happy to be there! read more

For a chain grocery, they do a terrific job giving this Basha's a home-town feel. I love the employees there--so friendly and helpful. The deli staff is awesome and Jim makes a mean sandwich! I work in Carefree and eat lunch there 3 or 4 times a week--always something good to eat. Their chef cooks a special lunch every day, including a green salad. Add their awesome Chinamist ices tea and it's a hit. Viva Basha's Carefree! July 2, 2012 Update!! Basha's has four new deli sandwiches that are AWESOME!! Jim, the sandwich maker extraordinaire, told us they are being timed when they make the sandwiches---under three minutes. And they have several specials that are easy on the wallet, for people like me who eat lunch there nearly every day! Once again, viva Jim and Basha's in Carefree! read more

Always a problem trying to order pizza from Basha's. Either I'm on hold & no one in the department ever picks up or tonight, I called at 7:45PM & the department is closed. Closed before 8PM on a Saturday?! I won't even bother again. Well my husband decided to give them another try. Called at 6:15PM on Tuesday night, they were closed for pizza orders. Makes sense. What an odd time to order a pizza ... right? read more

Nicest Bashas in Arizona. Clean , quiet and prices you'd expect in Arizona - reasonable.

My husband and I love going to this market. However, we went today and the carts were not sanitized and there were no sanitation wipes. Very disappointed in this. read more

Overall the store is clean , nice experience but didn't like sushi, it didn't taste fresh. Staff was friendly and helpful. I'd shop there again & live the bakery, deli fresh. read more

This is a nice, clean store and one of the few places I can buy sprouts. The cashiers are always super nice and friendly. One time I was looking for an advertised item and couldn't find it, so I asked a stock person walking by. She looked, couldn't find it, went and got the manager. He looked, couldn't find it, the next thing I know, he's got three or four people looking for the item. I was kind of embarrassed---I was only going to buy a couple. When they couldn't find the item, the manager told me to buy a different brand of the same item and he would honor the sale price. I ended up buying triple the quantity because they had all tried so hard and gone to so much trouble. But that's the kind of folks they are---helpful to the nth degree. The meat counter makes these yummy prepared chicken breasts---an easy dinner. Just take 'em home and throw 'em in the oven or on the grill. A couple of times I have gone in and and requested a kind they didn't have made up. The meat counter folks sent me off to cruise the store for a few minutes and they whipped me up a couple to order. The meat guy also told me if I call ahead and they don't have them at that moment, they'll have them ready for me when I get there. That's service! However---the deli. DH and I love the chicken salad. Extraordinary good stuff. But the ladies behind the deli counter are usually grumpy, unfriendly, not-very-helpful people. They act like they are doing you a favor to wait on you. The best of the lot is this 30-ish girl with long dark hair---she tries to be helpful and cheerful. The good news is after a lot of experimenting, I think I have figured out the secret of the chicken salad---or so DH says---so I only need to hit the deli when I just don't have the time or ambition to rock out my own chicken salad. The wine selection is very good and they have some great sales. So, since I can avoid the deli if I want, overall, this is a great Basha's. read more

Great store. Upscale, clean and friendly staff. Good selection of ready to eat and hot foods. Produce is always fresh. Nice to have a Starbucks in there as well. Five Stars. read more

I used to shop at Safeway and spend a ton of money every week. Bashas opened early during the covid pandemic and supported health care workers and first responders so that we can care for our communities. I have definitely switched to shopping here and encourage others to do the same. read more

I wish I could give this 0 stars. I have never been so disrespected at a grocery store ever before!!! I very politely asked Ms.Tammie J., Who was working at cash register 4, if her register was still open because the light was off while she was still checking another woman out. She looked up at me, rolled her eyes and replied "yes." She used an extremely annoyed tone the rest of the time she was checking out the other woman. When she was done, and it was my turn, another man came over named Eric. She asked Eric when she was ever getting out of here. She never said another word to us as she walked away from our groceries that have yet been checked out. Eric continued for her. He was no better!! He bagged my avocados with a big can of black beans and heavy block of tofu. I am highly unimpressed with this establishment. read more

This is our go-to store. Normally everything is ok. Who is buying the produce?? I like to make a big fresh salad and the broccoli tasted like chemicals. So bad I had to spit it out. I would assume that with salad dressing all over it I wouldn't have noticed. The sweet peas were very old, dried out and weird tasting. Gave them to the rabbits. Everything else was just ok. Would like to find a place with fresh organic veggies. Any suggestions?? read more

Atmosphere, food, selection is nice! A couple employees tho that I interacted with one was frazzled/overworked and the other came across elitist towards me instead of an openness during our interaction. The sushi chef was very friendly and sushi was great. read more

I've shopped at Basha's twice in my life. Both times I've wound up with nasty mold-covered produce. In the case of this location, my (overpriced, BTW) strawberries were covered in green fuzz within 8 hours of purchase. I know this could happen anywhere - sometimes you just have bad luck and strawberries can go off pretty quickly - but twice from one store is too much for me. I'll stick with Frye's on Tatum & Cave Creek. read more

The deli/bistro in this store is awful. Customer service is non-existent. I have been here on many occasions because I work close by and every time I get helped juuuuuust as I consider leaving empty handed because I've waited so long while being ignored. The first really bad trip was for breakfast. When I finally got helped, I ordered a number 1 from the sign. She said "well what do you want in it?" I said..."whatever the sign said was in a number 1." She replied that she didn't know, and couldn't see the sign so I should just tell her what I want. So, I chose a few items I saw in the hot case. She charged extra for biscuits & gravy...you'd THINK that if she knew those didn't come with a number 1, that must mean she has SOME idea what DOES. As she scooped my food, she proceeded to talk to a co-worker saying "I don't even know why we MAKE breakfast anymore. Nobody buys it. It just sits around & gets old, then we throw it all away." That's just what I like to hear when I'm buying some of it, right? When I got to work with my breakfast I found that she was right on the money: potatoes overdone and dried out, biscuits & gravy was gross, & eggs were crusty/dry and old. My last trip was the final straw. I stood in line behind 1 man. After he was helped, the woman completely ignored me, walked over to another part of the counter, helped a lady there, then proceeded to chat with her about some guy they both know, the day they are having, etc... I waited until they were finished socializing. She finally came back, looked at me, then looked at the man off to the side BEHIND me, and asked if he had been helped. He said he was just waiting. So finally she asked if I had been helped. Uhhh...well lady, you're the ONLY one helping people and you have helped everyone BUT me including people behind me, so NOOOOOO...I have not. I got a single slice of pizza, which was not very fresh. I also stopped by the seafood counter before I left. I thought I might get some Cajun crab dip. I stood there for a while listening to the seafood lady chat with a customer about how the government sucks and the economy is bad...finally I left with no dip. It is my understanding that Bashas used to be the only store in town. They must still think they are because they certainly don't act like there is any competition. Unfortunately for them. there are lots of other stores that I am more than willing to drive a little extra to get to from now on to avoid the crappy customer service here. read more

The best of the best for the highest quality products and produce. This is a smaller but more elite store location modeled after the AJ's but a little more home town. They have everything. There is the most amazing Sushi to be found anywhere. A salad & soup bar, bakery and deli, great wine and alcohol selection and excellent customer service. The ice tea selection at the deli is the top of the line or saunter over to the other side of the store and grab something from AJs. Take it all to the patio and sit by the fountain to enjoy a great lunch or time with friends. This is an amazing store. read more

Good Sushi! You wouldn't expect that in a grocery store but the Sushi chefs are there daily making it fresh!

Grabbed a "quick" lunch here at the deli the other day. The deli staff seemed confused and unorganized. It took over 20 minutes to make us 2 sandwiches to go. Everyone was very friendly and the sandwiches were very good, but you have to be very very patient. read more

I love this grocery store. The staff is very professional, friendly, helpful and conscientious. They have a wonderful deli, bakery, fresh vegetables, fruit and much more. I have never gone in to shop and not walked out with more than I went in for. They always have new and interesting items to try. read more

This store is clean and ok if you need to pick up something quick. I have never found the staff to be overly friendly. Almost every time i have been ready to check out the cashier has slapped her "this lane closed" sign up on the counter as i walked up to check out. No one else in the store speaks, smiles or asks if they can help you. Not what i would expect given the clientele they deal with. This is why i shop Safeway a majority of the time. They cant do enough to help you. read more

The store has been nicely remodeled and the employees are kind. It's a good place to pick up something quickly. BUT, since the remodel the deli dept. has gone downhill. Service is horrible (long waits) and the nightly chef dinners are not good anymore. They taste like frozen food. Probably will be avoiding the deli dept in the future. read more

NOT SHOPPING THERE AGAIN!!! The store is remodeled and looks nice, but looks can be deceiving! In this case, they are! It's the closest store around, so it would be nice to be able to rely on it but you can't. Almost every time I shop there, something is moldy, expired, rotten in some way. I have had many, many, items that should have gone back! It's too bad too, because those of us that need that store have to go way out of our way just to get fresh, edible food! The only reason I gave it 1 star, is because it wouldn't let me give it zero!!!! read more

This location is nicely remodeled and looks like an AJ's. The Starbucks is well-run and patio is nice. The bakery however is really poor. I went in to buy a birthday cake and asked the lady (Linda) if she could write Happy Birthday on the cake. She says "No, not really. Because my writing is really messy." Um, well the 16 year old kid at Safeway put it this way, Linda: "Of course, but my writing is not the best. Is that OK?" I then told Linda I don't mind sloppy writing and asked if she could just do it anyway. Her reply: "Oh well that's going to take me at least 15-20 minutes because I don't have the icing." Seriously Linda? You work in a bakery and have no icing? Why the hell did you guys remodel the store to be like AJ's if you're going to staff with people like that?! The 16 year old kid at Safeway rushed to complete my cake in about 3 minutes. He could not have been more accommodating or courteous and he probably cost less to employ. Also, the Bashas bakery was cluttered and filthy and several cakes were missing or out of stock. It looked like the place was going out of business. And it was not busy. I suggest Bashas get rid of Lazy Linda and put a competent, polite hard worker in your bakery if you want local customers to return. read more

The new look and feel of the remodeled store is great. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, and nothing changed there. The real treat is the new sushi bar. These guys make fresh sushi daily. They are very accommodating, and will make whatever you like while you wait. My wife and I used try drive several miles for sushi. Now we can enjoy it in the comfort of our home. Great addition to Bashas. Keep up the great work. read more

I live in the area and enjoy ordering pizza from Bashas'. However, the customer service in the deli/prepared foods section is terrible. The past FIVE times I have ordered a pizza from here the toppings have been incorrect and I order pizza from here twice a month. Usually, I return home to find one or all of my toppings that I ordered incorrect. This past time the lady was nice enough to admit the mistake and made me another pizza before I left. I appreciated that, but the amount of times this has happened is ridiculous... I will no longer order pizza from this location until the service is cleaned up. read more
