I asked the lady at the bakery if they had free cookies after my son just picked out an expensive dessert, she said, " yes and brought me 3 cookies. when she was handing me them, she said, is the third one for you"? Not thinking about it I said, yeah. She said, " oh I'm sorry we can only give free cookies to kids". I said, oh I said free not three. That was fine, I didn't want a cookie anyways. I got a sandwich at the deli and he asked if I wanted it hot or cold. I said cold, it took forever and he handed me a hot sandwich. As I'm checking out, the cashier says, is this your onion? I say no, and he says, opps I forgot to give that guy his onion. I got home, looked at my receipt and he charged me for an organic English cucumber, which was twice the price of the cucumber I got. Now all of these are small mistakes, but if they are going to be such sticklers as much as " we can't give you a free cookie you should get what you ordered and pay the right amount for what you buy. read more

Very good market for higher quality goods. It has all the shiny fun of a Starbucks with the quality of Andronico's. My girlfriend loves their potato salad. It is very good. read more

Of everything I miss since moving out of Davis, I miss Nugget the most!!!!! They have GREAT produce, and amazing imported and local cheese section, great bread, a deli with tons of prepared food, sandwiches and smoothies for a quick lunch or to take home, and a good selection of local products like Bariani olive oil which I love. I wish there was a store like this in Southern California!!! No, sorry, Whole Foods does not cut it and doesn't hold a candle to the greatness of Nugget. Please come to Burbank!! read more

Very clean and organized store..The produce is very fresh and they have a large selection of everything. They also have a kitchen where they prepare desserts, food, drinks, etc. The sandwiches there are amazing! they use great bread and great ingredients and are very filling. read more

Even though I live closer to the Nugget on Mace I still stop by here since they have more of a selection. The prices on some items might be a bit higher, but if you're talking about produce, meat or seafood, the quality is better here at Nugget. Some of their sale prices are actually the cheapest in town. The bakery offers some delicious desserts. Kids love that they can get a free cookie here. The soups aren't bad either. My kids love the sushi here (we prefer the sushi chefs here over the Mace location). The sushi chef even knows their "usual". It's a Great place for a quick and cheap sushi fix. The sashimi was pretty good too! Melts in your mouth. :) The service here is excellent. The guys behind the meat and seafood counter have always been helpful and seem to know their stuff. I've seen them train their baggers too. Pretty efficient. I like using their canvas bags. It holds a lot more stuff and you get 5 cents back when u bring the bag back so over time it pays for itself (if you're worried about cost) and you're saving the planet not using plastic of paper bags. It gets busy here in the early evening and Wednesday mornings are a but busy during the school year since the junior high kids start late. read more

This place is great. I really enjoy nugget markets. They might be a little pricer but if you are willing to pay for great product and amazing service then you will be very pleased when you visit this location. I sometimes get a drink at the coffee bar and the workers are no nice, they even know my name and memorized my drink. I have been to many nuggets and I always find it fun to see the set up. I really enjoy how they have things set up. I would recommend this place to anyone. read more

Oh my goodness. The sandwiches here are to die for. Never before did I think that I could have such deliciousness at a grocery store. Try them and see for yourself. Yum Yum Yummie. read more

Love the nug. Whenever I am feeling indecisive about what I want to eat, I make the trip down Covell here and am always happy with my decision. The deli section is excellent. I love the different cold pastas they have there (and I usually hate cold pasta), and the sandwiches are the best I have ever eaten (I also usually hate sandwiches). Try the rosemary trip-tip sandwich with blue cheese and arugula - it amazes me that a sandwich like this exists at a grocery store. The sushi is also very decent for the grocery store, and the self serve Chinese food is great and very reasonably priced. The thing I love most about Nugget is that they have items difficult to find at other grocery stores, such as single Limonatas (worth it right there for me), fun pasta shapes (duh), chorizo, and lots of great produce. Their selection of cheese is also INSANE and generally when I go I stare at it in a trance until some employee asks me if I'm okay. Speaking of, the employees are also extremely friendly, which is good if you like to chat while your food is rung up, but bad if you are an awkward person, such as myself. read more

I love this store but it is not really in my grad student budget. I know they advertise the costs to be equivalent to other grocery stores, but in order to meet this requirement you need to shop with a critical eye and buy the cheapest versions of the foods you want. DELI SANDWICH: I typically only come to the nugget for their deli sandwiches because they are BOMB! I love getting the cibata bread with mustard (hold the mayo), swiss cheese, peppered turkey, lettuce, all of the veggies (extra banana peppers), avocado (worth the extra bit they charge for it), salt/pepper. I suggest avoiding the vinegar drizzle because it makes the bread soggy. Ask them to toast the sandwich before cutting it...heaven. COFFEE BAR: Good coffee, and so many pastry options! The bagels by the coffee bar are also fantastic. read more

Oh Nugget, I struggle to write this review because I LOVE you so much yet you were a little crappy the last time I went. I have eaten over 100 sandwiches at the deli (I know because they used to have a punch card and i've eaten over 10 free sandwiches, i don't even what to konw what my number is now). You get to pick all your toppings and bread and everything is fresh and tasty. I don't like how you can't see them making your sandwich anymore because now my sandwiches have mistakes in them that I don't discover until I get home. No huge mistakes but still, it's kind of annoying since they also raised the sandwich prices. Also, great wine selection! read more

GREAT store. I come here once a week to grocery shop for the family I work for as a nanny with a three year old boy and the staff is excellent! They are always very nice and I especially love the gourmet cheese staff. They are usually males and they ALWAYS recommend a great new cheese to me, as well as give the boy that I nanny a sample to keep him occupied. I always went to the same checker every week as well, Ronnie. She was the first person that helped me on my first day working, and she was extremely friendly and engaged with myself and the child I watch. He looks forward to grocery shopping to see Ronnie. I haven't seen her in a couple weeks, but the few other people that have helped to were awesome too. Sometimes there's a couple items that I am not sure about on my grocery list, but every time I have a question, there is always an employee close by and a lot of the time, they approach me asking if I need help before I ever have to look for someone. I love this store and I highly recommend it for the gourmet cheese department alone!! Not to mention the meat department, that will cut you the exact slice you want, down to the very ounce. read more

One of my favorite places to get desserts, eye shop, and drag the bf when I'm bored! Staff is always friendly, and there's always special promo items every week!! Came here on a Saturday, and bakery provides free samples of the fresh breads or desserts! Omg Ettores cakes are the bomb!! I love the princess cake and the coffee one. They also sell smoothies and acai bowls! Their sandwiches are good too - hefty, tasty, and good quality! Try out their salmon sand which! Always has fresh seafood, produce, bread, cheese, and basically everything. Come to the Bay Area my Nugget! read more

Love the local nugget markets. I am fortunate to love across from one of them. Good quality produce and new products.

I do all my grocery shopping at Nugget, their prices are competitive and there's almost never a line at checkout! It's worth driving across town to do my grocery shopping. I love that a bagger will walk me out to my car and help with the groceries and shopping cart- this is so helpful with two kids! I took a star off because the display case with the bagels and croissants next to the coffee bar, as well as the bagel slicer and toaster, are absolutely filthy. I've even been there early in the morning and it was filthy, so it's not like an "end of the day" thing. read more

Thank you to all nugget workers for being such an amazing hardworking staff during this time of crisis. God bless you all !

Nugget Market is a great place to shop. The prices are great, the food is easy to find, and if I can't find something there are people who can help me. And they are always friendly! Plus I love their Juice Bar. My daughter and I like to go there and get a smoothie to drink while we do our grocery shopping! :)Shanda read more

This grocery store helped me survive my undergrad @ UC Davis. Although I didn't have the dough to spend on their scrumptious pre-made meals I love to cook so I saved $ and used their awesome produce, meats, cheese, and breads to make my own (almost as tasty) meals. I like to stop at the Vacaville location when I'm nearby. read more

I love Nugget sandwiches and their produce is always the best in Davis. They have a great selection and helpfull staff. Sometimes the whole process seems to take a while though. But at least they get it done right! I would like to reiterate how long it takes to get a sand which. I went back today and during a lunch rush they only had one person on the line. not a huge issue, but it seems to be the norm. I don't know why they don't put more emphasis on the food counter, because thats what people are going to line up for and want to get in and out quickly. Still a damn good sammich though... read more

Nugget is the best. Seriously, it is. I recently moved back to the bay area, and I find that the one thing I miss the most from Davis is the Nugget Market. Even if I don't need to purchase any groceries, I simply love perusing the market, and it is just a beautiful place to look at. I really wish they would expand their business to the bay area, but I imagine they keep it local in the Yolo County area to preserve their community vibe. If you have not tried a sandwich from Nugget, you are missing out. They have some of the best paninis I've ever had. My favorite is the Blue Cheese Chicken Panini. I recommend ordering the Ciabatta bread; it has the biggest surface area, and the bread is just damn good. Nugget has recently also started a Happy Hour option from 3-5 pm during the week when on Mondays/Wednesdays, you can get their Chinese food mini rice bowls for $1.99 ($1.00 off) and on Thursday, you can purchase a rotisserie chicken and receive a free lb. of their garlic mashed potatoes. I haven't had the rotisserie chicken, but most of the Chinese food is pretty tasty. I'm a big fan of the Zucchini chicken. On Fridays, this, in my opinion, is the best deal: $2.00 off create your own sandwich! An amazing sandwich for $5! Way better than Subway. My last comment about Nugget is: don't let the look and vibe of the store fool you. People always think that it's more expensive or too pricey for their budget, but in truth, a lot of their prices are pretty affordable in comparison to Safeway and other grocery stores. My friend recently did the Price Challenge at Nugget, and she found that it really is just as cost-effective to shop at Nugget as it is to shop at other grocery stores. So don't skimp on the quality and the variety of products the store can offer, I've made some of my best meals buying the ingredients from the Nugget. read more

It's wonderful that every part of the Nugget will never let you down...okay, maybe the prices can be a little up there but it's pretty much the same prices they have over at Safeway ( and at safeway you need a club card to get a deal) Dessert Section: I love their humongous chocolate chip cookies for .99 cents!!! I usually don't eat sweets, but every time I leave the Nugget I always have a chocolate chip cookie in my hand. Coffee Section: Their coffee is surprisingly good. I have to say that it's much better than Krispy Kreme's coffee by hundreds of miles. Chinese Take Out: Their Chinese take out isn't that bad at all. They give out free samples when asked for and they usually have a good supply of everything! I like their chicken chow mein, but I always add some more soy sauce before I eat it. Sandwiches/Salads/Soups: They are amazing!! You can have any way you like it! If you go there often enough then make sure you get a stamp so that you can eventually get a free sandwich! You can also find yourself putting together a yummy salad which they charge by the lbs. They also have three soups available everyday. I don't get the soups but my friends love the thai chicken something soup (I really don't know what its called but apparently its good). They soups have gone up in price a little bit but if its as good as my friends say it is I bet its worth trying as well. Additional favorites: They always carry a good selection of ice cream like the kind you'd get from an ice cream truck which is awesome. I also like their ready made dipping salsas!!! They are all soo yummy and worth buying. I like their seafood section as well. I always buy my fresh fish from them because I feel like other places don't have the same quality. The service is over the top good! Tons of cashiers standing by to keep the check-out traffic to a minimum at all times. Staff are very friendly and easy to chit chat with while being ringed up. And for some reason they always have the cutest guys working at the Nugget. It's like they have like a 'cute appearance' requirement in order to work at this grocery store. Overall, I love Nugget to death and I was a very sad day when I moved away from Davis because I had to go back to low end chain supermarkets like Foodmaxx :( read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets! (For Davis), unless you want to stick it out in the long lines at Safeway. This location is bigger and better than their other one in South Davis on Mace. This is the only place I'll shop in Davis for my groceries. It is a little more expensive than Safeway, but you gotta pay more for quality. Their deli section is always good, and the biggest challenge is trying to decide what to get. Their Hot Food section has tons of variety. Overall, the high prices on some of the items is offset by their other stuff that is cheaper - make sense? The people that work here are always friendly and always ask if you need help out to your car - "it's ok, I'm able enough to take my two bags of groceries to the car". "To the Nugget, we go!" read more

Love the people here. Always friendly and helpful. They even replaced my chicken when it was raw ( it was supposed to be the cooked one by the hot foods ) read more

Super selection. I like the bakery and the wine and of course the beer. I just can't get with the deli. And produce, if it's your thing, is so fresh and happy. read more

Sandwiches and cookies, enough said. I was in Davis this past weekend and came back twice for sandwiches. Hrmmmm... I was going to write that I usually order, but scratch that, I ALWAYS order: roast beef or lamb sandwich on ciabata, with harvarti, aioli on one side, chipotle on the other, heated and toasted, then add tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, and avocado when I feel like it. Yep - its that good! I do trust that all their other sandwiches would not disappoint. Great selection of produces, groceries, beer, wine, ROOTBEER. I feel like I'm in a candy store when I'm here. read more

I usually come here just for one thing: the orange peel. The orange peel is a smoothie that you can get at the juice/cafe bar, right next to the bakery. I don't remember what's in it, but its better than anything I had at Jamba Juice. And while you're waiting for your drink, you can walk over to the bakery and see all the pretty confections in the glass case. I've tried their cream puffs, eclairs and macaroons. All I can say is -- YUM! Their sandwiches are made to order and are amazing tooo! They have a lot of speciality goods like wine and cheese. I bought salsa from the nugget a few times and it was amazing. The Nugget never fails. Pretty decor, fresh produce and meats and excellent customer service! read more

Sandwiches here are amazing. Made hot and fresh to order. Every time I step in here, it inspires me to eat well and make make healthy choices. Staff are professional and very helpful. Products are slightly more expensive than Trader Joe's or Safeway's, but the experience makes it worth the few extra dollars out of my pocket. EDIT: ordered a cake here for my gf's bday. She's lactose intolerant so it was a challenge to find a suitable cake. Nugget staff was exceptional and pulled through. They were able to accommodate all my special requests and switched out certain baking ingredients for non-dairy products. The personalization design on the cake was also a very nice touch. Thanks Nugget staff! read more

Always friendly service, GREAT deli, salad bar, cheese bar, and wine selection. I would not go here for my every day items as it would be expensive, but this is a great grocery store in Davis. I am currently not living in the area so whenever I am passing through I must get a nugget sandwich and a Dr. Browns cola. Love Nugget and wish they expanded to other parts of northern california! read more

I haven't been to a Nugget in quite some time, so I was surprised by the genuine customer service! All of the employees I encountered were happy and provided excellent service. I look forward to coming back. read more

Nugget Markets - Spicy Chai - Grocery Near Me - Davis, California

Amazingly helpful staff and the quality of products is the best around. You pay what you get for. Worth every penny I promise.

I can only speak about the deli customer service, which is really good! Never had a problem as busy as they can get! This is like an outdoor farmers market indoors! Their Beer and Craft Beer selection is AWESOME! 16oz'rs of heaven! Their cheese selection is just as awesome. No complaints at all! Organic Vegetable selection is large and fresh, lots of great stuff to take home and consume! read more

Love the nugget's sandwiches! We come here at least once a week for their hot paninis - corned beef on foccacia with pepperjack is what I usually get, so 3 stars for those alone. Plus another star for the super clean aisles and fresh produce section. We were here the other day near closing time (8:30 pm ish) and while waiting for our sandwiches to be made we were watching the workers take all the leftover stale pasta salad out of the display cases & dump it into huge tubs - wonders where it all goes after that, lol. read more

When I lived in Davis, I would come to Nugget all the time. It's a sensational experience. Literally. All of your senses are fulfilled and overjoyed. Whenever I come back to Davis, I have to go to Davis. At the very least to buy one of their upscale water bottles. Also, they have a yogurt bar. Most expensive, decadent yogurt bar I have ever been to. Its ridiculous and amazing. All in one. Great alcohol selection. Great food selection. Great bakery selection. Great smoothie/coffee selection. Great everything. The staff is helpful and kind and knowledgeable. I heard a rumor once that said Nuggest Staff is not allowed to say "no." To this day, the rumor has been true. LOVE NUGGET. MOST AMAZING GROCERY STORE EVEEERRR read more

Nugget Market is an ultra high quality supermarket. I love the fact they have great, fresh organic produce and many microwaveable Vegan and healthy options. They have all the usual junk people poison themselves with everyday in terms of processed foods, meat, and junk. That's big aggie for you. HOWEVER, while they are the most convenient store to me, their prices are VERY HIGH! That is what lowered their ratings from 5 to a 4. I often find the exact same products at Grocery Outlet for close to 1/2 the price. The COOP also offers top quality foods, their prices are a little better and more healthy stuff. read more

Nugget Market is by far the best grocery store I have ever been to. They have an excellent selection of produce, which is displayed in a unique, but appealing way. The employees are always very helpful and knowledgeable, they even have a staff person staged in the gourmet cheese selection just to help you chose a cheese. The deli is fantastic, one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. This store is definitely worth checking out! read more

This is my favorite store in Davis! The friendly staff and great selection make it by far the best grocery shopping experience ever. read more

(Covell Blvd location) Best place to grocery shop in Davis: convenient and reasonably priced, with incredibly helpful, friendly staff as well as pleasant atmosphere. At Nugget, it doesn't feel like a chore to do your grocery shopping; you actually enjoy being there, and feel that buying groceries and other necessities is a joyous and integrated part of your week. Their awesome, giant, retro light bulb sculpture over the wine section is on my "must buy" list for when I'm rich and famous (any day now). They have everything a girl or guy could want, including a great selection of local and organic foods at competitive prices. They also seem to have an extensive wine and liquor selection, though I know little about that since I rarely shop it. They also have a really wonderful natural pharmacy aisle, with probiotics, homeopathic remedies, natural skin care and bath products, comfy and colorful socks, and more. You can do your grocery shopping AND gift shopping at the same time (I have done this). In addition to really nice bath products and awesome socks--not to mention a selection of beautiful hats from San Diego Hat Company, knit scarves, cute aprons, and more)--they have an aisle with gift wrap, ribbons and cards! I like Co-op too, and support it whenever I can, but they have a more limited selection and higher prices, and are less convenient for me to travel to. And you can't beat Nugget's deli sandwiches; I think they may be the best in Davis. Yay Nugget! read more

Long time Nugget shopper and Davis resident but I've noticed an extremely blatant decline in service when it comes time to check out. The last couple of times I've been checking out, the bag girl has been so baffled by her task...it's bagging groceries...How the hell are these people employed?? This last time was the worst, she literally gave up bagging the rest of our groceries to continue gossiping with the 3 idle staff members as I was pressed for time I just did it all myself. Thanks for having people stand with blank stares at kiosks who can't even put things in a bag in an orderly fashion. Don't get me started on not mixing heavy items with fragile items... TRAIN YOUR STAFF! read more

I LOVE the salad bar. They also have a really good yogurt bar. And the best guacamole; I think they make it in store. A little pricey, but so delicious. Also, the staff members have inhumanly good memories. I didn't think I go there that often until recently, but some of them seem to remember me. read more

This is my first time eating here and I gotta say that I'm impressed. I read the reviews before going and I gotta say that they were pretty accurate. Customer service was great and the food was even better. Thank you! read more

Love nugget, but this specific juice bar has so many issues every time I come which was at least once a month. I usually order a tropical açaí bowl for my husband and I and the bowl is like soup as soon as you get it, by the time we get in the car it's not edible, soggy granola and liquid açaí. For a $10 bowl, it's pretty frustrating and have pretty much had to stop going to this juice bar since there are issues every time. I visit the Vacaville and El dorado locations a lot as well and they do a great job at keeping the açaí creamy yet still frozen by the time I get to my car or even home. I also order chai freezes and smoothies and there are so many chunks of ice I end up chewing my drink the whole time, which is also not an ideal situation for my 2 year old (2 year olds have less teeth and are more prone to choking). I do not have this issue at Vacaville and El dorado locations, drinks are always creamy (not melted or filled with ice chunks). Shoutout to their sandwich bar, they make my sandwich perfect every time and the bakery always has cannolis which are hard to find at other locations. Staff is friendly in every department. read more
