Some things are 1-2 bucks more than say Jimbos. But I won't cry over it as I am not driving to both. We loved shopping Lazy when we lived in Hillcrest Area and love it up here too. Unfortunately we live in Carlsbad so when Barons opens, LA will be a distant memory. Good place to shop for organic and fresh food. I will say one more time the produce is very fresh. Not worn out!~ Enjoy

This store is always a hit or miss in the customer service department. There was one time when I…read morewent to fill up my gallon jugs and an employee literally laughed at me and walked by. When I approached the water station it was closed but rather then kindly let me know, you just laugh?! Like seriously?! I get that at the time they were having issues with the water station, but that was NO excuse. Today, I was interested in there pre- made jarred juice Anne saw a member bringing out fresh ones. I asked if she was bringing out more of a specific one, that wasn't available and she said no, as that wasn't very popular. She did however, state that she could make one for me. I was impressed and waiting while she went back to the counter. There were a few other employees at the juice bar as well a few fold in line, so I knew it would be awhile. So I waited and watched the line disappear, and waited some more. Eventually, I looked up to not even see the girl that was " suppose" to be helping me at the counter anymore. In disbelief, I just went to ring up my other items in my cart. I get if you don't want to make something, but please don't lie and have a customer waiting for something that you NEVER intended to make. Truly disappointed.

shopped regularly at Cardiff's SEASIDE MARKET when I lived just down the street and had forgotten…read morehow much I enjoyed shopping here. they got back on my radar after seeing them on a you.tube video and the nineteen-year old boy and I trucked down there for sandwiches. he's eaten their BURGUNDY-BLACK PEPPER TRI-TIP (AKA Cardiff Crack) at several local places (Cafe Topes in Carlsbad is a few blocks from our house and has a Crack Salad he loves) so it wasn't a hard sell. Wyatt got a KOREAN CRACK sandwich (grilled trip tip, Korean BBQ sauce, smoked cheddar, kimchi, and crispy fried onions) on a brioche burger bun. I ordered a WHISKEY CRACK (grilled trip tip, whiskey-peppercorn sauce, blue cheese, pickled onions, and arugula) on a ciabatta roll. as is our habit, we traded half a sandwich for half a sandwich. both were amazing. a couple of days later, the wife-unit and I were headed to Solana Beach from Carlsbad, and stopped in Cardiff at SEASIDE MARKET. the sandwich we shared was not as good as the one Wyatt and I shared. instead of a dense, chewy ciabatta roll, this time the sandwich was served on a squishy, wonder bread roll. major downgrade. anyway, pretty darn amazing and totally worth an occasional drive down the coast. plus, you gotta love the view.

Seaside Market continues to be a great outpost for curated products with a lot of…read moreLocal options. The star, in my humble option is still the meat counter and the prepared foods section. From sandwiches, to deli meat and of course their butcher shop and marinated meats selection. This is the home of the famous "Cardiff Crack," aka burgundy pepper tri-tip. You may have had it before at a friend or family BBQ, on some local area restaurants in sandwich, or in the famous Tri-Tip Nachos at Petco Park while cheering on the Padres. I love checking out all of the items they have available, and always have to grab at least a pound of the crack. This last time I picked up the Spicy Chipotle BBQ tri-tip as well. So good. If you are just visiting, you can grab a sandwich made with the tri-tip.

I had never been inside a wild fork before, but we decided we were gonna go in there because we…read morewanted to try to find a couple unique cuts of meat at a reasonable price. we were also interested in potentially what they have in terms of seafood. I am not sure what I was expecting (maybe like a grocery store refrigerated and freezer section,) but I was surprised at how it was laid out. It was three aisles of the lower banks of freezers, with full wall freezer along two walls, and a few dry goods which makes sense because everything that they have is frozen at ideally the peak of freshness. It was very clean, looked a bit futuristic and was well coded. With different color signage to indicate where the poultry, beef, pork, seafood and prepared foods were. Easy to head to the section you were looking for. We looked around the store a lot and the folks who work there were very attentive. They asked us a number of times if we needed any help, answered any questions that we had, and even gave us some suggestions and background on certain cuts. We ended up going with some picanha, a couple other types of steaks, and a couple options of seafood. All the pricing was all very reasonable and now we have a fully stocked freezer.

You need to visit them to see what they have!

It is located in an overcrowded strip mall, with way too many businesses, not enough parking spots, and some of the worst and rudest drivers around. People fighting over spots, because they are afraid to walk a few hundred feet. The staff was very nice, friendly, helpful. The person giving out the samples was warm and friendly. Free samples add to the ambiance, and like Costco, I think it helps get people in, buying the sample items, and more food in general. I am surprised that more stores don't do this. This location seems to be not as big as some of the other locations that I have been in, but I didn't notice any products missing. It was relatively crowded on a Saturday morning, but we were able to get in and out in a timely manner.

They have ample parking. Trader Joe's offers a diverse selection of products. For example; high quality olive oil, fresh meat, seafood, dairy and non- dairy products, salad, salad dressings, cheese, candies, chocolate, and bakery. In addition to their frozen section, beauty products, and fresh produce and fruits, and canned fruits. They also have wide variety of wine with affordable prices. Their flowers and roses come in myriad of colors. They have wide selection of beautiful bouquet. The service is excellent. The staff are very friendly. I love to shop at Trader Joe's wherever I go.

I've bought the whole cooked chicken a few times at different times of day and it's consistently been tough to slice and on the dry side. I've also tried the hamburger patties twice and they were dense and overcooked, basically hockey pucks. On the positive side, the sushi is decent and the spicy noodles are good. I'm not sure if there's consistent quality control happening, but it feels like the overall hot food quality has declined over the years.

Harvest Ranch Market is a wonderful neighborhood-focused specialty grocery store known for its…read morecurated selection, quality ingredients and welcoming, boutique feel. The one in Rancho (near Spring Valley) just closed. So sad about that. Thankfully, we still have this location. This is such a great spot. The market appeals to shoppers who value freshness, thoughtful sourcing and convenience. There is a huge selected range of fresh produce, including organic and seasonal fruits and vegetables. The meat and seafood department -- my favorite department -- is a standout, offering high-quality cuts of beef, chicken and pork, along with fresh and sushi-grade seafood. The deli and prepared foods section is phenomenal! And it's full service. They have Boar's Head meats and a wide assortment of cheeses, along with house-made salads, sandwiches and ready-to-eat meals. The market also offers a bakery selection with pastries and desserts, as well as artisan breads that pair well with the store's specialty items. My absolute favorite item in this section are the chips, which are fresh, thin, crispy and perfectly salted. I will stop in for the chips alone. Beyond the fresh departments, Harvest carries a thoughtful mix of pantry staples and other products. Shoppers can find specialty oils and vinegars, unique seasonings, sauces, olives and chocolates. The wine selection excellent as well. The overall shopping experience is clean, friendly and personal, and the staff are generally very helpful and knowledgeable. Prices tend to be higher than large grocery chains but, again, this is a specialty store often with much higher quality. One of my favorite grocery stores in San Diego.

The aisles are crammed with displays trying to entice you into buying more. It is hard to maneuver through the aisle. I feel sorry for the elderly shoppers with mobility issues as they try to navigate the store. I've seen a wheelchair user have to turn around in the aisle since they could not make it past the display. Definitely an ADA violation. As if they care! This is on top of the carts left in the aisle by employees as they are stocking the shelves. Their convenience is more important than blocking money-spending customers. The cashiers are busy on their phones, so checking you out seems to be a secondary priority. When the bagger falls behind, the cashier will not help bag the groceries after ringing you up. Instead they start ringing up the next person while you are still waiting for your groceries to be bagged. Makes it easy to mix up whose groceries are whose. Anything to get back to their phone quicker, I guess.
