    Interesting little gift shop/convenience store. When you walk in there are quite a few trinkets but as you walk towards the back you'll find cold drinks and snacks. If there is snow, kids can usually play in the area behind the store. It's a good idea to stop here and check for areas of closure before driving up to the observatory, etc. The guy inside the store is a little odd. I didn't take him as, "rude," as many others have suggested. I honestly think he may be unwillingly lacking some social skills (not his fault). Anyhow, bathrooms are outside of the building to the right, just past the restaurant. There is only one stall, so there may be a wait.

    Thank God the store is still open for business, I do miss the days when this place is packed with bikes and the restaurant was open. Times have changed, but Palomar mountain is still an excellent ride truly!

    Open on New Year's Day. Friendly folks. Good selection of snacks and drinks for a hungry, thirsty cyclist.

    Find necessity and unnecessaries at this convenient general store on Palomar Mountain. I bought ice but no souvenirs.

    Over the course of weeks this store was a great vendor of "must haves" along with Mother's (life sustaining food therapy) en route to Observatory.

We don't shop here very often so not familiar with the layout but there was clear signage over the aisles. They had Valentine's Day items for sale & we saw some exorbitantly priced wines on display. I'd like to know who can afford those! We find their prices a slightly higher than the other supermarkets but it's a very inviting grocery store. The employees are very friendly. Our check out was smooth & friI have the app on my phone, which makes it convenient to check out and keeps records of my receipts.

    Ralph's is where we do all our main weekly marketing. We get 4x points on Friday's which goes…read moretowards gas points of up to $1 off a gallon. Overall, there is a good selection and with weekly coupons there are a lot of good deals to be found. Their buy six bottles of wine is a really good deal. We have found some very good wine, like Opolo and Austin Hope. Also very convenient is the pharmacy. Their florist department is not as good as other markets in the area. Recently I had an issue with an Amazon gift card I purchased here. It seems the issue is with the gift cards from Amazon, which when you scratch off the back, the middle numbers are missing. One of the cashiers told me they have recently had this happen often. It was a real hassle getting my money credited back. I hope Ralph's pulls the cards and returns them to Amazon. Just beware if you buy gift cards for Christmas gifts--your gift recipient may not be able to use the card.
