Bel Air was my go-to grocery store for years when I used to live in Natomas! It is located in a shopping center off West El Camino next to Starbucks. We stopped in while in the area to get groceries for the weekend. Their prices are comparable to most other stores and they do carry some harder to find items. Their produce is hit or miss - I wanted to buy some basil, but it didn't look very good. They had ice on their lettuce too which I found odd - not sure if that was a normal thing. They have a decent bakery section, take home sushi display and Chinese take out area as well. The store is usually pretty well organized and staff isn't the friendliest, but I'm usually on a mission when I'm grocery shopping and don't care to be bothered. I'll probably stop in again next time we are in the area! read more

I don't want to say how many years I've been coming to this place as it'll give away my age :) They have a small selection of vegetables, so I don't always know if I'll get what I need however, this is my go to for my milk and my chocolate milk. One of the few places that has milk that is dated pretty far out and that you can count on never being sour or gross. The fair life chocolate milk is my husband's favorite chocolate milk ever and it's one of the places you can count on to have it. One thing I really like about this place is that they always have in stock all strawberry yogurt, which most places don't they only usually have strawberry with banana or something else. I like that they are open pretty late so I can always count on them if I forget last minute that I don't have creamer for the morning. This is a great place for you to go get your last-minute selections or something. You may have forgot not always the most inexpensive prices however it's not the most expensive place either. All the workers are seemingly really nice. I've only had one experience with the bakery that I was very unhappy with however I was able to drive to North NATOMAS and go to that Raleys and get what I needed. I didn't want to let one person change my view of the store For the location having to deal with a lot of homeless in the area, they do a great job keeping the store looking very nice inside . read more

I shop here due to it being close to the office. Bought the beef stock on Friday and noticed it was past the BB date. They need to check their inventory for dates past their BB dates or expired. Didn't post pic of receipt because I had tossed that out. read more

The manager or whoever handles returns working today May 17th around 3:30pm was the rudest person I've encountered in a long time. She was condescending and unprofessional. I cannot believe Bel Air has an employee of this caliber. Very disappointed in the lack of customer service. Come on Bel Air, raise the bar and please do better. read more

This grocery store is one of the closest to our house and is open late, so it's perfect when you need an odd ingredient, late night snack or just a weekly grocery shopping trip. There is plenty of parking in the lot, but it can be congested sometimes. A lot of people coming in and out for the grocery store and other businesses in the plaza. I'm always tempted to stop into Main Street Bagel Cafe whenever I stop by. The grocery store itself is open and clean and pretty easy to navigate. Sometimes the lines get backed up and end up with people waiting down the aisles, but if you're not visiting during peak hours it is pretty quick. They have a good selection of produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods and shelf stable items. You may want to double check products before purchasing. We recently bought some Jimmy Dean's sausage and noticed once I got home that the packing was puffed up and when I cut it open it didn't look right. I probably should have brought it back, but I haven't had time and I'm bummed it was on the shelf in the first place if it was showing signs of going bad. Experiences like this are few and far between though and it's been a solid spot for grocery shopping. read more

The employees here are great, but the store is chronically understaffed. Lines and wait times to check out are long. Honestly I try to avoid this store because it's more expensive than other stores and the speed of service doesn't make up for that. Usually it's one or two cashiers for at least 10-15 people in line. Self checkout doesn't help either. The few times I've gone back I'm always reminded why I don't like coming here. I'd rather spend my money somewhere where I'm valued as a customer. read more

The produce section has somewhat improved at least. Self checkout is very inconsistent still and employees aren't very nice or helpful. My MAIN CONCERN now is the BAKERY!!!!!!! There are BUGS getting into the pastries!!!!! Please be very careful purchasing bread and pastries there I saw this bug flying around all over the croissants. IT WAS IN THE BOX!!!! read more

Is this store closing, low on butter, popsicles, etc. I have been shopping there since 1984. Something is going on

Bakery associates with air pod in ear and is very rude . I had to stare at her standing in the area where they write in cakes for a while before she looked up and said you need help ? don't know if she was on her phone or what , Why can't I ever go to this place and get anyone to write on a cake can the afternoon associates get more training seems like all belair supermarkets have that same issue ,only have morning associates to write on cakes .I used to love cakes from here but not any more . read more

Been coming here since i was a kid and its really went downhill. Besides the fact that they don't have many products now they also don't walk you to the aisle and help you find the products. Not to mention three times in a row now Im here around dinner time and they have 1 lane open and self checkout read more

Term-4. 17:46:09. 5/16. Look at your cam for proof! Train your bagger (lady) to bag better. You didn't think I saw you bag my sushi and you looked up at me and put the bag harsher down. The point was you looked at me too. Like hey watch this! Management understand and train them that sushi roll needs to be nicely place. Why? The ingredients is fragile!!! And it's $10.49 for a roll. Not $10.49 to eat smash roll! I even spend total of $206. Bel Air is a brand store, make it a brand customer service satisfaction. read more

Grocery store is well stocked and clean. ton of friendly staff to help you. they have paper bags. best option is to download their app and order groceries there. you get a personal shopper for you and give you updates with phone calls/texts etc. Lisa helped me twice since I moved here. it was been a wonderful experience! ton of parking and many things near by to check out: ups store, taqueria, chase bank etc read more

Why is there never more than one register open?? It's a grocery store that makes buying groceries a soul-crushing experience. 10 people in line down the aisle...no attempt to open another register. EVERY DAY it's like this. If you have HOURS to spend at a store, this is the place for you. read more

Been shopping at this Bel-Air grocery for 6 years. VERY high prices compared to other stores. To my surprise, after purchasing one thing today that was a birthday surprise while I was w/the birthday girl, I needed a bag for a small "cake." Oh that will be 10c. I'm guessing the owners of Bel-Air cannot afford to supply bags to their customers. It's upsetting in that when I AM in the store & need to use the bathroom, it's SO disgusting and dirty, often w/o toilet paper, water (urine) all over the floor in the stalls, paper strewn everywhere, no soap & no towels of any kind to wipe my hands on. But, I guess the owner is happy & doesn't need to provide customers with things such as a clean bathroom. read more

Nice local store. They have the basics, the essentials, and a few specialty items. Staff are friendly and helpful!

We rely on Bel Air for food in a pandemic, and they consistently do things well. Quality: 4 Value: 4 Service: 5 We use Bel Air for three main reasons: - ease of use of app-based ordering and picking up - they use unionized labor and treat their workers right - it's near our house Since COVID19 began, ordering from here using their app is honestly a huge time saver and I don't foresee us going back to shopping in person once pandemic protocols end. They are always really responsive and have great customer service if something has to get substituted or we want to change something. The ONLY real negative I can think of is that their personal shopper sometimes grab produce that is nearly expired, or dairy products that are near their expiration date (while I always reach to the back of the fridge to get the newest product). The one time they gave us gross cucumbers, they promptly credited us for the next order. My partner insists they do have the absolute best, most consistently ripe avocados. read more

Every time me or my fiancé go shopping we are guaranteed to find spoiled or rotten food. The workers or the farmers must care too much about this community because they wouldn't literally put food on the shelves that could make people sick. I'm not talking about organic produce decaying faster, I'm talking about milk that's out of date, raspberries that are bright on top and green and fuzzy on the bottom, premade salads that give you the sh!ts, and even boxed food on shelves that's out of date. We have returned things, but more often we just toss it away but the last experience had me double dragon. Disappointing, I have to go across town to get fresh food. read more

Quickly went to get anniversary gifts. And came across a quick trip and back to my loved one. I'm exceptionally grateful for the attendants at this bel air. They had options for quick grab and custom. Very helpful and knowledgeable and curtious and kind. I got flowers and two beautiful bouquets custom made and didn't have to got to party city. Right in my neighborhood and quick. They made Shopping made easy. read more

5 o'clock Monday evening, I went in to pick up a few things. Self check out had a line almost to the back of the isle. And there's only ONE check stand open and that line went all the way to the back of the isle. I asked the guy that oversees the self check out if he can open more check stands and his answer was,,,,sorry we only have one checker right now. It's not this poor guy's fault. But what kind of management is that...one checker at 5 pm? I dropped my basket for my time is more valuable. read more

So Bel Air's Italian Rum is one of my favorite cakes, well until yesterday. How do you sell Italian Rum cake without any Rum or even rum flavoring? The Rum used to be so strong when you took the lid off you got a contact high (not really but you get my point) then a several years ago I noticed there was a lot less rum, but still delicious. I've raved about this cake so much so, I had to put my money where my mouth was. So I bought one for my nieces dad's birthday, well this time we struggled to find even a hit of rum anything, I don't know if they forgot the rum or what. So I had to find happiness in the almonds. I'm going to give the cake a second chance as my sister's birthday is coming up. Even though the advertisement of rum failed to deliver, the cake was still very good. So three stars. read more

Bel Air - Peter, Paul and the memory of Mary. From left... Yelp poster Ed, Paul, and Peter. - Grocery Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came here to buy some oysters and saw that lobster tails were being sold for 5 bucks a piece. Saw the lady working there just literally helped someone infront of me. When i asked for helped she told me to ring the bell. I pressed the bell button and waited for someone to come out to help me. Like come on. How lazy can you be. I also had a worker followed me around like I was stealing from there. Employees here are very rude. I even ask an employee where to find lady products and she was like yeah i know where. I'm like where? I gave this place 2 star because of the 5 dollar lobster tail. They should go through customer service training again. read more

Great selection. Good deli and bakery. The staff is helpful and gracious. Much better than other smaller markets. Highly recommend.

Before the pandemic, we only occasionally bought our groceries here, when we were missing an item or when we needed something on a weekend. Usually, I would buy my groceries from Trader Joes which is right next to my office. But since the pandemic began, we've been getting all our groceries from here and it has been great. Most of the time we opt for the e-cart curbside delivery system which is super easy. But what is extra nice, is that Bel Air is actually taking safety precautions seriously, which means that we do feel safe enough to go into the store when we really need to. Grateful for all the staff who is working hard during these times to make sure we get our food and are safe read more

The South Natomas Bel Air has been around long enough to see the neighborhood evolve throughout the years. Like the neighborhood, the store has also followed the chain and evolved into a more high end grocery experience. This store is located on El Camino and Truxel Roads surrounded by many Yelp favorites. The overall layout of the store has not changed, but the owners have cleaned up the look to meet the chain standards. The selection of gourmet and organic options has dramatically increased, but there are still all the old favorites. You will pay a little more here, but you get great service and selection. Having someone bag groceries or using the eCart system is worth a few bucks! I have also used this Bel Air several times for catering, and the staff have been just great. They chill the sodas, and load the car for you making it really easy. The South Natomas Bel Air will not win any beauty contests, but it is probably the best option in the area for full service grocery shopping. read more

This Bel Air at 1540 West El Camino Ave., Sacramento, is my favorite. I've been its customer since 1985 -- but because of a recent experience there, I'm giving it one star in this review. This is what happened: On the evening of 4 August 2022, I visited my fave Bel Air to buy some produce, milk and orange juice. After I arrived, the store's music system began to play a soft rock tune I had never heard. I have no idea who the singer was, but it was a man. The tune was entertaining -- a good, slow beat with a guitar. In it, the singer bemoans his deteriorating relationship with a woman. I was standing among wholesome oranges, apples and lemons in a pristine setting, at roughly 10:40 p.m., when the song reached its shocking end. In words clear as gin, the singer bellowed: "You're still talking shit." I couldn't believe it! I was stunned! I don't appreciate profanity in a family business. So I wonder why the Bel Air music system played this song? It usually broadcasts superb songs without gutter language. I returned to the same Bel Air a week later. Luckily, that song was not playing again. read more

I've been coming to this location for years. The employees are absolutely amazing here. The store is always well kept. They have a pharmacy, bakery, deli and hot food area. They have a little area so kids can get a free fruit while you shop. They also give kids free balloons if you ask. The bakery will also give them a free cookie. This store is very kid friendly. On Monday's they have $5 deals. You should sign up for the rewards card. You get free money and discounts on things you buy. The shopping center itself is starting to get a little sketchy. I usually don't go after dark anymore. They do have a security guard but still they usually just stay inside. read more

Came here to get some sushi from their deli for lunch. The sushi rice was hard, not what I had in mind when I wanted fresh. Last time it was better! I guess I won't be coming to this location for their sushi anymore. Paid $12 for this meal! Disappointed! read more

While living in the area, I would visit this Bel Air location- off of Truxel road - only when I was desperate for last-minute ingredients. While at the time this store was convenient to my home, it always lacked basic brands or items. Some of the staff were absolutely wonderful and friendly while others pretended that customers did not exist. Symptomatic of all other Bel-Airs, the prices were (and still are) over-the-top, averaging a good 15 to 30% higher than similar grocery stores. On occasion there would be a good sale, but I noticed the higher prices on produce did not mean higher quality. This particular location has a separate customer service/post-office counter, however they had very limited hours and ever-changing rules on what you could, and could not mail. I will say the deli area was well managed: Those who worked at the counter were friendly and seemed to have a good time, which created a friendly environment anytime I would place an order. The store at some point time may have been nice and modern, but unfortunately several areas need a serious upgrade, not just haphazard repairs here and there. Kudos to the staff who try hard to keep it neat and clean! The shopping center, housing various chain and independent stores, has also fallen into somewhat disrepair. It seems the property owners are just not interested in updating. In the years I shopped at this location, it went from decent, to okay, to unkempt ghetto. The last few times I stopped by, not only were the prices still high with low-quality fresh items, but the parking lot had deteriorated to the point where they need a security guard 24/7. They may already have that now... Over-inflated prices with an unsafe parking lot, equals no thank you, I'll pass. read more

This place sucks. Too bad the checkers are awesome but the people that go here and the produce is terrible

Spoke to Elijah in the Deli on Tuesday night 11/24 regarding the thanksgiving meals that Bel air was offering. They were sold out online so I had to call my neighborhood store to see if any were still available. He went above and beyond to help me out. Answered all my questions and was so sweet and very professional. I work in customer and have been for 27 years and when Someone makes you feel important that really matters. I will definitely continue to give Bel Air my support for reasons like this. Thanks again Elijah for your five star service read more

Really hit or miss. I've been doing eCart here and quality of service really depends on what day it is. Sometimes I get a lovely woman who calls or texts to go over substitutions with me. She told me that even during quarantine, they're supposed to be doing this. A different woman said they're too busy and I'll get whatever they give me as a substitute and they won't call. I saw another review about staff wearing masks incorrectly, and I also saw that when I went into the store. In fact, one of the people wearing their mask like a necklace was (I was told) the store manager. So, I'm sure he just doesn't care. The woman who was helping me said "Yeah, we technically have to wear them but everyone hates them and says they can't breathe so they just wear them under their noses". ‍ read more

It's pretty much a Bel Air. You shop for sales. Other stuff is priced a bit higher than average. Produce is better than the Smart Foods a bit down the Truxel. This location is busy at lunch due to many large offices in the vicinity. If you really want that Bel Air Chinese food,or sandwich get in line before 12pm. Same for using their mail window. Also there is a better than average chance someone will ask you for money as you approach the store. read more

Belair, part of the raleys fine store chain. This is my local goto store. I have been coming here since i moved to natomas back in 2004. Many of the employees are still here, which makes it feel like home in a sense, many know my family and are always friendly, and helpful. They have recently updated this store and the look is amazing compared to the old look. Returns: i have only had to do a few returns over the years, once was pineapples, and oranges(at different times) they looked and smelt great on the outside but once we got home, yeah they were indeed bad when cut open, so not sure what todo i brang em back the next day for a simple return, said what happen and got my money back. And the other was on milk, it had a funny taste, definitely different but not spoiled. (If you ever seen napoleon dynamite, the part where he is a milk taste tester ,you know what i mean). But again simple return. just make sure yiu have the receipt, that is needed, especially for the easy return part. Shopping is primarily easy in this store. There produce, meat and cheese, seafood, and bakery department have been really good here, i cant really complain much about this location, besides the neighborhood. Overall, pretty great staff, decent selection of items, good sale prices, gotta check out the raleys dailies, and the monday $5 deals. Sometimes they have them Saturday to monday as well. Dont forget if an item is on sale and out of stock, grab a rain check! read more

Racial profiling at its best and horrible customer service from courtesy clerk Ashley. Came here before a snow trip to get snacks, food and other things just to constantly be watched, profiled and internally reported on by staff who thought we were going to steal. Everything was paid for ($120+ worth of goods). Spoke with manager Patty who claimed she'd speak with worker but who knows what really happened. Doubt it was addressed. Needless to say, won't be shopping here again. Woman in the deli was very nice (Celica I believe) and Marissa working the coffee stand who checked us out was very helpful as well. read more

Not the best Bel Air in town, not the worst. There are several apt. complexes within walking distance so it gets really busy during peak hours. Parking lot can be a bitch. Store is smaller & older than the other ones in Natomas. They could really use a remodel, especially in the bakery & produce sections. Personnel are very friendly. The meat dept. guys always go above & beyond. They'll sharpen your knives for free usually while you shop. The only area I've gotten bad service in is the bakery. The cases where they keep individual items like doughnuts, bagels, etc. are usually under-stocked & unkempt. And they never have twist-ties! More than once, I've gone up to pay for stuff, only to have it come spilling out of the bakery bags. HATE that!!! They started running "bogo" coupons for their coffee drinks, so I thought I'd give the Peets a try. The bakery staff does the drinks which is fine, but after 3 tries, I came away twice with drinks that were awful. Go a couple of doors down to Starbucks or 2 miles over to the store on Arena Blvd. read more
