I was so pleasantly surprised by their selection of products, especially since I was looking for random items for my new apartment. The employees were helpful, knowledgeable, and looked like they genuinely loved working there, which was such a joy to see. I've returned to this shop way too often, and my wallet hates me for it. This location relies heavily on paid street parking, though there is a small customer lot behind the shop. A trip to this Ace is very worth the $2 I paid for parking.

I had called earlier, and the woman was very helpful on the telephone. When I arrived, she assisted me with my purchase, as did a man, she and even carried the umbrella all the way to my car and put it in the back seat of my car, which was parked in one of the several handicapped parking spaces located just behind Ace Hardware. All in all my experience was totally seemless.

Every knife was able to cut paper with the slightest touch. Well worth the price if you don't have time to sharpen your own knives. I believe my total came out to around $25. Pro-tip: Go to Greg's with your knives, head around the corner to grab a bite, drink, or coffee at one of the local shops, and Greg will be done by the time you're done with your meal/beverage.

Mike performed magic on those edges! Echoing Stu W's comments, the Shun was significantly sharper than new and sliced a tri-tip roast like it was butter, the easiest tri-tip I've ever sliced. The knife was finally a pleasure to use and sliced like I expected when purchased. I fully expect the Henkel knives will be just as sharp. Mike's the man and most strongly recommended to trust to sharpen your valuable blades.

I was in the area and stopped in recently. I love to wander through the store. The displays are beautiful. I could spend a long time just looking at everything. I did spend quite a bit of time on this visit. Only one employee acknowledged me while I was in the store. That was because we were walking towards each other in a small space. The rest of my visit was spent browsing but when I had questions there was no one around. There were staff members at the counter but they were chatting amongst themselves. A few customers came in and out while I was there but it wasn't busy at all. This store is good for looking at and touching physical items, but I will be ordering online. Sad that customer service has declined so much in retail stores.

If you're looking for products that you just can't find at a regular Costco warehouse, the Costco…read moreBusiness Center in Kearny Mesa is absolutely worth the trip! I stopped by for my usual favorites, and the number one item on my list is always the beef bacon. It's hands down one of the best products they carry. Yes, it's a little pricier than traditional bacon, but the quality is outstanding and well worth every penny. Plus I don't eat pork so it's a staple in my home. An added bonus? Save the beef tallow after cooking--it has so many great uses in the kitchen! Another reason I love shopping here is the produce section. Today I picked up raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries, and every package looked fresh and beautiful. Unlike some warehouse visits, I didn't have to dig through multiple boxes just to find a good batch. This is also my go-to spot for heavy cream and buttermilk, especially since I make homemade bread. The prices are excellent, and they consistently have the larger sizes I need. One thing that really sets this location apart is the customer service. The greeters and cashiers are always welcoming, friendly, and genuinely personable, making every visit enjoyable. I also appreciate that the Business Center is much less crowded than a traditional Costco warehouse. Most shoppers are business owners grabbing what they need, so it's a much quicker and more relaxed shopping experience. Their early opening time of 6:45 a.m. is another huge plus, and although they close around 6:00 p.m., I never feel rushed if I'm already inside finishing my shopping. If you're ever in the area, do yourself a favor and pick up the beef bacon. Trust me--you won't be disappointed. You can thank me later!
