Rude employees. Here's the breakdown: 1. No one greeted me…read moreor said hello when I walked in. 2. Dude was stocking shelves with his very loud heavy metal rock music playing which was target offense. Shouldn't a place like Natural Pantry only permit music therapy kind of sounds? 3. Overzealous LP dude who must still be upset he failed the Trooper Academy gave my wife grief for smelling the AROMATHERAPY items. He was both rude and inappropriate. 4. The entire store both looks and smells like 1970. 5. My nurse friend is opening up a wellness center that is going to carry updated clean and natural products and have professional staff to help shoppers rather than harass them.

As far as butchers go, this place is pretty classy. They're kinda snobby- the kind of place i…read morewould expect to find in Seattle or NYC. But holy shit do they have the meats. Most impressively are their selection of bacon and sausage varieties and ground meat types. They also have a nice selection of locally made cured sausages and meats as well, such as prosciutto and prosciuttini. Some of their items are a little spendy, but its to be expected given our location, but other items, such as their 85/15% ground beef is CHEAPER than the grocery store. If that isn't incentive to shop there, I don't know what is.

The ambience is just like a regular meat market you go in and there's a counter with all the meat. We walked in and we asked for a specific type of steak. We saw the prize of moving on. We needed to get five and so we asked about recommendations on a cheaper cut of steak that would feed fat people and not break the bank. They were really helpful and helping us pick out the steaks that night and then we also picked up some bacon and I believe some dried meats like ham hocks or it was turkey necks. I don't remember. We have gone back and we had thought about looking at meat packages, but we haven't done it yet. We don't have room in our freezer, but they have really good prices. If you're looking straight from the butcher check them out I think you will be surprised at what you can get there and what they do have also ask about anything you may not have been able to find they may have it.

We bought a lot of stuff that day, and we made our second trip because one of the spices we saw, was amazing so we went back and bought six more. But we also found one that was a fish and I put it on snapper and it was amazing so yeah don't pass up the spices while you're in there. This by far is our favorite store that we have found so far. And don't forget about the dried peppers. We picked up quite a few bags so we can make salsa things at home.

Review of New Sagaya City Market - Anchorage, Alaska…read more Five weeks ago, I moved from San Francisco to Anchorage, settling near the downtown area. One of my first missions was to find a coffee spot that felt like home--a place with not just great coffee, but genuine people behind the counter. After trying a handful of cafes, a neighbor suggested New Sagaya City Market, just two blocks from my house. What a win. The market itself offers high-end, quality products. Yes, prices are a bit higher than what you'd find at Walmart or Target, but coming from San Francisco, I was prepared for that. What truly sets this place apart, though, isn't just the products--it's the people. From the very beginning, the baristas here have shown me the most consistent and heartfelt customer service I've experienced since moving to Anchorage. They don't just serve coffee; they connect with you, listen to your stories, and make you feel like part of the community. Today was a perfect example. I slipped in the parking lot (rookie mistake--no spikes on my shoes for the icy ground). After two kind gentlemen helped me up, I walked inside with my spilled coffee. Annie, a new barista I hadn't met before, immediately offered me a fresh cup with such kindness and care. That small gesture meant so much--it wasn't just about the coffee, it was about feeling seen and supported. I also want to shout out Monica and Shea, who I met when I first arrived five weeks ago. They've been consistently amazing--funny, charming, and genuinely interested in conversations about life, community, and even my adventures back in San Francisco. Every time I come in, I leave feeling lighter, happier, and more connected. Thank you, Annie, Monica, and Shea, for making New Sagaya City Market my go-to coffee spot. You've given me more than great coffee--you've given me a sense of belonging in a new city. --- Would you like me to make this version short and punchy for Google/Yelp reviews, or keep it longer and more storytelling-focused for something like a blog or social post?
