They're definitely short staffed. However, the bagger was really nice and even went the extra mile and help me with my bundles out of the store.

The frozen food section can be such a saving grace especially to those who do not have the time to cook or are not a big fan of cooking meals from scratch. They have variety of frozen foods from various cuisines like Italian, Indian, Asian and so on. The wild caught frozen seafood is great and the price point is perfect. The best part if going into the store and sometimes finding these gems- be it some snack mix or a bbq sauce or even some seasonings. A lot of their products have clean ingredients and the price is generally better than Whole Foods.

We go in for a couple things and leave with two bags full lol ;)!! The service was great too - we were just going to wait in line at one of the checkout lanes when a friendly guy came up to us and brought us over to one of the open lanes and helped us check out there. The restroom was reasonably clean and the exhaust fan was on but still was a bit stinky. The door had a full length mirror though which is a nice touch and I've never seen that in grocery store bathrooms. Parking was easy and it's right on the highway so easy to get to. Was not too crowded so we were in and out quick!

I did need some assistance today and the lady behind the Service desk was so helpful. I wanna again thank her but the lady behind the register I can't say what she was on this thing but use your imagination. I did make a small complaint to the Manager, but he said he would take care of it. My experience with her was more about what's convenient for her and not what was better for me. The Customer Service Manager took care of it but again why pass off responsibility to someone else. * FYI I was advised that the handicapped vehicle was lost or stolen.

Great spot and great Yogurt I have been eating Sophia's…read moreyogurt for a long time but I have been buying it at another location. I only drive to Belmont now to pick up my yogurt, now. Great service and great pricing. I went with my son on a Thursday afternoon. It was busy but the line moved. We picked up 3 lbs of greek yogurt. All different flavors and all delicious. My son was interested in floating around the store to see what they have while I waited in the quick line. All sorts of great flavors (vanilla, black raspberry, coffee, strawberry, banana-strawberry and lemon to name just a few. There are all sorts of pasty's, as well. I have to be honest, I have not had any of the pastry's because I am trying to lose a few pounds. They all look delicious and I will, at some point, indulge in those pastry's! I will continue to be a customer and a loyal visitor to the store in Belmont.....for sure. Price: great Service: swift Vibe: Fun Parking: a bit busy, but there is parking for everyone....side streets are probably best Will I be back: no doubt....great greek yogurt is my draw!

I am new to the area and went for the first time tonight because I read online they carried a specific brew I was looking for. When I arrive, I was amazed by how great this place really is... think Whole Foods meets your liquor and convenience needs. All the food items had a hand picked feel, health conscious options with such variety! One of the stores family members (I believe the owners son) was as the register and was such a pleasure to speak with -- very friendly and polite. I told him I was so exited to find the store and that I will definitely be coming back! Who wants to make a trip to the grocery when you can drive down the street, not stress and buy food (even fresh produce) for any meal?!
