They share the same parking lot as our favorite bakery in Aptos (Companion Bakeshop) so it's always nice to pop in after our bakery runs! They may be small(ish) in size compared to your typical supermarket, but they more than make up for it with their incredibly thoughtful selection of goods. Plus it's super organized and clean, which makes shopping here such a treat! From health food products to pantry staples, and from organic produce from local farms to wine and even greeting cards/gifts by local artists, Aptos Foods can easily be a one-stop shop for everyone! They even have natural and organic skincare brands like Mad Hippie and those machines that grind fresh peanut butter and almost butter (love those!). To top it all off, the staff here is welcoming, friendly and ready to help if you need it!

Very rude! At first the pharmacist Rey seemed understanding and willing to help with my situation…read more Called for an update and Rey went off on me for no reason at all. Telling me that I was wasting his time and to not call back. I am not sure if he's overworked, but his unprovoked out burst is unacceptable from a healthcare professional to a patient. Should be more considerate that people that go to him are seeking help.
