However we always have to tell them how to put the bread in the bag if not the more delicate bread gets crumbled or broken apart.

(Shopped 10/08/24 TU @ 1:00pm): The thing to marvel about this food store was the small-town…read morecountry feel of it all! Mar-Val Food Stores' Escalon location was the closest to where I stayed with dear friends of mine while we were in town for a funeral of one of their family members. We needed some minor provisions (e.g. libations and snacks) just to tide us over for a few days, so this was the most convenient place to grab these items. Founded in 1952 by the brothers Mardee and Val Kidd (Mar-Val) in Lodi, this charming small family-owned country store was concentrated in this part of California's heartland farm country where they avoided the larger corporate supermarket chains and were able to become more integrated into the community. Was I marveled by their slower pace of grocery shopping and local produce!? PURCHASE Five Window Beer Co. Wango Mango Hazy IPA Beer 16floz Can 4pk ($16.99): Hazy amber color, mango tropical aroma, medium body, mango milky orange sweet tropical flavor, mouthfeel finish, and mango tropical creamy aftertaste. This was a truly odd beer that foamed with a lot of sediment and actual mango pieces. ​​https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=mX33WX9GoFBgVFutevJzaw Grains Of Virtue Brewing Co. Bhad Bunny Cucumber Lime Kölsch Beer 16floz Can 4pk ($19.99): Dull amber color, citrusy cucumber lime aroma, light body, citrusy cucumber lime salty flavor, effervescent refreshing finish, and cucumber lime aftertaste. Paired perfectly with chips and salsa. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=JlHt9euAg_uxaNIA-cSH5Q SERVICE We were greeted by the friendly checkers once we entered the store, but after that we were all left to our own devices as we explored down each aisle and section as we picked up random things to feed us. Once we were done, the same checkers helped us and wished us a good day. All was easy and stressless - thank you! PARKING (FREE) They had their own sizable lot - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A medium-sized grocery store that basically had all of the same amenities and markings you're familiar with at other larger grocery chains. They carried many of the national brands, but there was a fair-share of I imagined more local brands. The one thing that stood out was just the relaxed feeling I had inside this place; there was no hustle or bustle which I loved. Plenty of natural lighting came through the front windows and doors while bright electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I didn't notice any TVs while I believe music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=SeqwzEOZv8uGGlXj3RJ02w ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL I enjoyed the calming charm of Escalon's Mar-Val Food Stores location, and wouldn't have any reservations about shopping here again. Granted, I personally purchased only local craft beer while the rest of my party bought snacks and some premade items. However, everything you needed was sold here, but just at a slower pace and in less quantities. The prices were comparable, the ease of moving around the entire market was a plus (not many customers at this time), and the service was straightforward while I noticed several employees throughout stocking the shelves or working behind the deli counter. And, whenever possible I liked to support small local businesses. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $41.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

While I typically avoid paying premium prices for coffee, I decided to treat myself and finally give this location a try. Upon entering, I was greeted by a pleasant atmosphere and placed an order for three iced coffees, which I stated clearly. When my order was delivered, two of the drinks were iced, while one was served hot. I calmly and politely mentioned that all three were supposed to be iced coffees. At that point, I overheard an employee respond in the background with an attitude, stating that I had ordered the drink hot. I fully understand that mistakes can happen--orders can be entered incorrectly, and errors are part of any service environment. However, my concern lies with the dismissive attitude and the decision to challenge the customer's request in front of them. This interaction left a poor impression, and as a result, I do not plan to return to this establishment. I will instead continue supporting my usual coffee shops.

A mini one and a big one $3.50 that is twice the size of a regular cupcake. I opted for the big one and tried to brave it and finish it while all the time thinking geez-this is just too sweet and quit halfway! The presentation of the cupcakes were unique. I like it. Wrapped in paper like a flower. The decor is not much to write about either. I mean I really don't mind if the cupcakes were at least good. It was a dull environment to say the least. The lady behind the counter looked sad :( but helpful. She told us that they don't make their cupcakes on site but it comes from somewhere else and delivered there. Although the Kardashians and Jay Leno think that their cupcakes are the best! Their pictures are posted on the wall as you walk in. Having tried a similar flavored cupcake in Palo Alto recently this place fails in comparison big time. And sometimes size doesn't matter really. At least not here. *** I posted this review in the wrong location and fixed it today! Thx Leann E!
