While driving back down the mountain from Placerville yesterday, my husband and I decided to stop in to Fork Lift to grab some groceries for the week. I remember visiting Fork Lift like 10 years ago and really liking it - it is a sister store of Nugget Market I believe. The inside was massive, clean and well organized. My husband and I wanted to buy one of everything! Their produce section had every fruit and vegetable imaginable - it was also very visually aesthetically pleasing! I loved seeing their bulk spices, nuts, teas and candy options! Their butcher shop and fish section looked very fresh and can we talk about their massive cheese selections!? I was very impressed and they even had my favorite coffee for sale which is hard to find - the Blue Bottle Nola milk cartons. Overall, this would be my grocer of choice if we lived in the area - check out staff was also very friendly! Check them out!

Can you say urban cool? Maybe even hipster. Utilitarian. Yes, I am talking a grocery store! Fork Lift. Brought to you by the family-owned, upscale and very successful, Nugget chain of grocery stores. I became very well acquainted with the Nugget markets living in Davis. There were two stores not far from each other and they were always packed. I shopped at the smaller one as it was closer to my home. It is literally the only place I ever shopped for food.I cannot imagine shopping anywhere else. When I moved to El Dorado Hills 5 years ago... thank goodness there was a big and beautiful Nugget a mile and half away. My point is all Nugget markets are quite incredible. Nothing compares to them. Excellent quality, in-house prepared food, bakery... TDF, floral, meat department, liquor, and fabulous fresh produce section. Fork Lift is to me like the Nugget markets on steroids! I was astonished at the size of the store and cool inside architectural design. Yes it is hip! Super clean, well stocked in everything. Organized. Quite impressive. And the same great departments as I mentioned above that are available in the Nugget stores are right here too! The chatter is that the Fork Lift offers many discounted prices but honestly, I never see them. Then I heard the lower priced items are strategically placed in and around the store. Who knows. I enjoy taking the drive up the hill to Cameron Park occasionally just to wander around and marvel at this shopping mecca! Easy exit off the freeway and fast to find. Plenty of parking. Worth checking out if you are in the area or on the way to or returning from Tahoe. Did I mention super duper customer service!?! And weekly specials! Geez... a girl cannot remember everything.:) Here is to good eating!

Thank goodness.  They have arrived.

Hmm need to try the la Pommiere!!!

Great store out here past the big city's. Very organized and the layout is easy to manage and navigate!! They have a very good assortment of brews to try and adult beverages as well. In particular a whiskey that I have been looking for as well. (See pics). The staff was very helpful and check out was really fast. Definitely will be back again!!!

Still luvin grocery shopping here. The produce is super fresh. The groceries brands and quantities are well stocked. The pricing is reasonable. The staff is welcoming and helpful. The interior design and look is clean and modern making it even a more enjoyable experience. The organic produce selection is significant compared to most other grocery stores. Plus the pricing on the organic produce is not outrageous. Forklift is super close off Highway 50 in Cameron Park, CA. Pretty easy to get to.

Gorgeous housewares display

The customer service is just consistently good, and it makes the whole shopping experience feel different. I also want to give a specific shoutout to Theo. I think he was hired pretty recently, but he's already one of my favorite people there. He has this hilarious, old-timey sense of humor that makes checking out way more fun than it has any right to be. Not curmudgeonly at all. Just quirky, dry, and genuinely funny. I find myself going to his line whenever I see him because I know I'm going to leave laughing. More people should talk about how great the staff is here. Theo is awesome, and he's a perfect example of why I keep coming back.

In the rare occasions when I'm not able to find something I wanted, it's because it's something so obscure I wind up having to either ordering it online or making a trip to some hidden specialty store in the Bay Area to get it. I've been shopping here for a couple of years. There's another grocery store that's five minutes from my house, but I drive the 20 minutes to shop here because the overall experience is so much better. Today's trip really stood out to me because of a couple things... while I was at the deli waiting for the clerk to work on my order, at least three other employees came up to me and asked if I was being helped. I've been to other stores where I've stood at a counter for literally 5 minutes, watching employees going out of their way to not acknowledge me. That never happens here. Then I was really taken aback by how the peppers and mushrooms were displayed. The fact that whoever stocked these mushrooms took the time to turn every mushroom cap side up and arranged all the portobellos the way they are speaks to a dedication to quality work. You can tell that in this store, nobody half-asses anything, and the employees take pride in what they do.

It was unlike what I used to get years ago. It was brown and didn't taste like cookies and cream. I was bummed about that but happy I could taste it first before I decided to fill my cup. The cold brew yogurt is outstanding! She said it is made with real coffee and it tastes like it! I would order this every time if they had it. I like that it is serve yourself and even the samples you can serve yourself which is very nice. I was glad I could because it changed what I bought. It is pricy! One size cup and it is large. I filled mine only about 1/4-1/3 full and it came to $6.14! Yikes! As much as I really did like the cold brew flavor, I think I would rather go buy a 1.5 quart of Dreyers (for less $) at the grocery store and have it multiple times. There was only one person working on Monday around 1:00 pm. There were no customers in the store so that was nice because I had never been in before. The young woman who helped me was very nice and happily answered my questions and made suggestions.

In the case of Crack'd its much much worse. The toffee is otherworldly and its impossible to put down. I only have experience with the Original Toffee. Its buttery crunchy taste with a slight smokiness and vanilla undertones is among the best I have tasted. The almonds help cut the sweetness and add a needed savor componenet to the whole affair. Its coupled with the semi sweet chocolate which for my palate is perfect. Full on milk chocolate would be too overwhelming IMHO. Its a small family run local business and has excellent customer service. They can be found locally at several grocery stores or at fairs and the like. Better yet they have a website that allows for super easy ordering. I'm not in the habit of making requests in reviews but I for one would love to see: Toffee with just the almonds Toffee with pistachios and lastly I throw down the gauntlet with some Honeycomb toffee!
