I've done this before..just getting a small cake with a few digits written on it and it's never been an issue, even at other Ralphs (I actually used to work for the company years ago). I picked a cake and the bakery employee first told me she couldn't write on it because it was marked down. So I grabbed another cake that was a small pre-packaged one from the bakery, and she said she couldn't do it because it wasn't their packaging and they couldn't open it to write on it. I then asked if she could just write on one of the small cakes on display that wasn't packaged, and she told me it had to be a full cake. At that point, it honestly felt like she just didn't want to do it. She was already working on another cake, and it felt like I was disturbing her. Based on some of the other reviews for this location, it seems like being dismissive or rude to customers might be a common experience here. Whole Foods it is!

Prices go up for these options, more in line with what you see at other grocery stores, so if you're looking for the best deal stick with the pizza.

I come here looking for specific things like natural maple syrup and high quality flour. I tend to not get fruits and I tend to find more items here from small businesses than brand name spots, so I'll sporadically find things here to impulse buy. They also have lots of prepared self-service hot foods and a poke bar if you want a meal to go. My favorite thing here are their fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, priced at $3.75. They sell so many of them, that they're constantly putting out fresh batches. I've come in four times this year for it and it's been hot and fresh every time! I find that outstanding as I've been to stand alone bakeries with cookies that weren't as fresh as they are here. The cookie is massive and has high quality ingredients you can taste. It's as good of a chocolate cookie as you can find anywhere. Come get some, because if they keep up the high turnover, then I can keep eating them hot and fresh!

Being my first time in a Wild Fork, Stevie made many recommendations on different meats, cuts, prepared items and desserts. His knowledge on the concept of flash frozen shifted my perception. Flash frozen locks in nutrients, flavor, and texture by forming tiny ice crystals that preserve cellular integrity, making food often healthier and tastier than "fresh" food that sits out. Needless to say, I walked out with a bag full of veggies, herbs, fish, and desserts for around $60. Prices are incredible for the quality too!

Walking in just makes you feel "healthy" or just more conscious about what you are eating. For instance, I loveeee snacks, I'm a big snacker! So when I go to the snack aisle I can't fall into the seed oil or bad additive snacks. They aren't perfect but a lot of them are healthier than your average snacks. So this an example on why I enjoy going to a store like this to pay a bit of a premium. Parking is fairly easy unless you are going at a prime time. The parking is free for an hour and a half which is convenient. When you walk in you have produce on the left with protein/meats behind. Then you have the smoothie bar with house care/wellness in front. In the front of the store there's a Amazon drop off center too.

Say what you will, I like their crust and the toppings are fresh. I noticed a lot of specials and deals posted throughout the store. EG: Sushi on Tues / Fri (I forget) is buy 1 get 1 50% off.

I usually don't shop at Trader Joe's because their prices are generally higher than the sale prices…read moreat other grocery stores closer to me. However, I had a cash back offer for a box of Mini Perfect Bars, but only at Trader Joe's. There are two Trader Joe's closer to me, and two other Trader Joe's nearby, but I chose this Trader Joe's at Long Beach Marketplace on the southeast corner of PCH and 2nd since I was in the area for a couple other reasons. Trader Joe's is the anchor store here, just on the other side of PCH from a competitor, Whole Foods Market. Both have their pros and cons with Whole Foods Market being more spacious in size with a wider selection of merchandise, but bigger doesn't necessarily mean better. Trader Joe's has more of a neighborly and cozier farmers market feel, quite the contrast from Whole Foods in spite of their similar approaches to providing high quality groceries at kind of sort of affordable prices. I had been inside Trader Joe's, including this one, before whenever I felt like browsing the merchandise here and experiencing a few minutes of a cozy, neighborhood-friendly environment. But on this last visit, one of the employees who happened to be working by the entrance took a moment to welcome me, which I hadn't remembered on any of my previous encounters. I headed to the rear of the store where they had the granola bars, but I couldn't find the box of Mini Perfect Bars I was on a mission for. I went back to the front and saw a couple of female employees talking to one another. I asked them for help, and Maggie graciously assisted me when I showed her a photo of the product I was looking for. She immediately knew where it was and even led me to the refrigerated section where I'd find it. Refrigerated? Oh yes, apparently, I had forgotten that Perfect Bars weren't your ordinary shelf stable bars; instead, they were the types of bars that needed to be refrigerated* so as to retain the best (or perhaps perfect?!) quality prior to consumption. Nevertheless, I really appreciated Maggie's level of service, and it seems the employees are happier here compared to their counterparts at other grocery stores, including, shall I say it again? Whole Foods. After grabbing a box of the Mini Perfect Bars, which would expire in just less than 6 months, I headed to the checkout lanes. All the lanes seemed pretty short, and I initially chose the stand overseen by the other female employee who was speaking with Maggie a few minutes earlier. Then, I noticed the customer's cart was full of merchandise, so I hopped on over to a checkout stand with Ethan as the cashier. The customer there had half a basket left of merchandise to be scanned, but a few seconds later, another employee, Sean, called me over to his checkout stand. Since all the checkout lines were pretty short, it was easy for me to miss the shortest line. I was impressed that Sean noticed me waiting nearby, but I suppose that Trader Joe's employees like him and Maggie are trained to exude consummate customer service, likely commensurate with the price tags I mentioned in the first paragraph. And Sean was super friendly and all, even complimenting me on the hat that I was wearing even though it's not a hat that anybody in the area would wear lol. His amicable demeanor added to the neighborly atmosphere that I had already felt from being welcomed at the entrance to requesting help from Maggie and now Sean saving me a couple of minutes while wishing me a wonderful evening! The only negative about my experience was that I almost bumped into another customer who was leaving right as I was about to leave as well. But that's on me for not paying close attention to my surroundings lol. Overall, a 5-star shopping experience at this Trader Joe's! Now I hope I can get another cash back offer that would be valid only at Trader Joe's again just to have a shopping experience that can perk up my day after such a long and grueling week of work, as was the case for me this past week. * There is a note on the box that says to store in the fridge or the freezer, but it also says "Take on the go for 1 week." Good tidbit of info to share if you're considering purchasing these Perfect Bars, even if it's not at a Trader Joe's.

The location is convenient and right on the corner, with decent seating and a good vibe from the music. I was also greeted as soon as I walked in, and the staff was quick to start taking my order and directed me to the burrito menu. I did have to take a moment to look over everything, but service overall was friendly and attentive. The coffee was actually pretty good, priced around $2.99-$3.99 with a few creamer options. As for the food, the burrito itself was okay--good, but nothing extraordinary or better than what you could make at home. It comes with meat, egg, cheese, salsa, and additional add-ons like potatoes and extra cheese are charged separately. My main concern was the condition of the space: it felt very cluttered, with items stacked everywhere and a noticeable lack of cleanliness that made it hard to overlook. While the atmosphere and convenience have their appeal, I would rate the experience a 3.2 out of 5 overall, mainly due to cleanliness concerns and the food not quite living up to the hype. Total $18 large coffee no refills and the burrito pretty pricey
