    I was looking for a bulk of ginger which they didn't have so had to settle for this
    Nicole S.

    It was my first time at this Ralph's and it was disappointing to see they didn't have many things I was looking for this Memorial Day weekend. They didn't have fresh garlic, fruits, and dressings. The people here were nice, but I didn't like that things weren't very organized as other Ralph locations and it was frustrating. Also the ambiance isn't the best as there are cameras everywhere! There's literally 20 cameras going down the checkout lines which leads me to believe there's a lot of theft here. That didn't make me feel like the customers coming in are very safe. Probably won't go here often, just for emergencies.

    Clean, difficult in this area, nice workers, across the street from the sportsman's lodge. Plenty of parking of course. This store is run down and it shows but they always have what you need. Good deli and hot food area. Regular grocery store. I come here at least once a week. If you're looking for an inexpensive meal, this is the place. Haven't had a bad experience

    Bought 01-15-23 expired 11-03-21

    I don't know why when these workers see you with a cart full of groceries, knowing you're about to spend over $200 at their store because they can see your cart is full but still treat you rudely. Today they sold me beef jerky that expired TWO years ago! I tried calling to let someone know as there's a bunch more left on their shelf but their phone system makes it impossible to get through to anyone. I should have known better and kept an eye out. Not the first time I've bought expired product here.

    Nice flowers outside the store

    Why doesn't Ralphs update the hours of operation? Yelp says 1am but they don't let people inside after 1245am.

    I mean it's a beautiful, expensive, California grocery store. Everything is perfect inside. There…read moreare no carts, you can be handed a basket if you need one and the aisles are very narrow in comparison to other grocery stores. Like these are one way aisles pretty much unless you are a California size -1. I'm old fat and cranky so parking is the biggest concern of mine and I actually googled which is the Erewhon with the least hassle free parking and this one came up and it's true. There is 90 minute free parking and it's not exactly simple. You have to get a ticket and then you may be double parking someone inside and you have to give some people your keys so if they have to move your car you can't they can. They held onto my keys but did not move my car so I didn't tip them. I wasn't expecting to tip when I went to a grocery store. There's more than one business in the plaza so I think they're employed by them so just be prepared with that and have cash on hand. I did not get the Hailey Bieber smoothie although I was tempted. I've heard mixed reviews and I know it's very expensive and I did not want to spend that kind of money on a smoothie. I didn't like. I did end up getting a bottled peanut butter smoothie and that one cost $14 and it was really delicious. It tasted healthy, but it was really good. I also got some vanilla chai crisps that are in the back corner by the freezer section and those are delicious as well. Those were $6.99 for a bag and honestly, I thought that was reasonable. I did get a strawberry cream dessert. It's all natural and I think vegan or something or other. I don't know. It was really good, from the few bites I had I was going to save it and it melted in my car so hopefully it will taste good tomorrow even if it's not in the shape originally was. I also got some Keylime and Meyer lemon tarts. I tried the lemon one they should be refrigerated which I did not know until I tried to eat them. The lemon one was good. I have not tried the lime one yet. I ended up spending $44 on five items. I just went there to say I've gone there. Would I go there regularly if there was one available to me probably not but I would go occasionally. It just seems now that it's a lot of content creators or people who want to see content creators, or people we're just going there is a tourist. I can't imagine anyone doing their weekly shopping here.

    THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY: Free parking for 90 minutes (good), Fantastic organic fruits /…read moreveggies and health/beauty selection are great, (good) yummy fresh juices (good), INSANE (not in a good way) store and parking design (bad). The prices are more than a bit over-the-top (ugly). Whoever designed this store deserves a smack-down. The aisles are so small you have to shimmy past people. And if you are shopping with a cart, good luck to you. Legit the most baffling design choices I've ever seen. This is an example of design that actually effects the shopping experience in a BAD WAY. Total head scratcher. Whoever designed the parking lot for the entire complex is an absolute idiot. If you need to get your cart to your car, there are several issues depending on what area you park in. First up, upon exiting the store there is a curb with no visible ramp so you have to cart-jump the curb to get down to the street level to your car. Then there is a raised planter between parking and the store so that if you are on the other side of it, you have to cart-jump the curb again. Seriously? Total failure in design on both the store and the parking. But hey - 90 minutes free parking so that's a plus. $16 for a smoothie is a little excessive for sure. Was it good? Yes. That said, while I'm happy to pay more for a great selection of organic fruits and veggies, the smoothies aren't that different from one I could make at home or get somewhere else of the same quality but for less. So if you are on a budget or just resent paying $16 for a smoothie on principal, I suggest focusing on your favorite, good stuff at Erewhon which for me is the fruits / vegetables and their outstanding selection of health / beauty products and their prepared food. from the beauty section, I got something called EVERYTHNG OIL based on the recommendation of one of the staff and it is a GREAT product -- truly my skin is transformed -- well worth the $. I also discovered a yoghurt there that I love -- Painterland Sisters -- but I now buy it at Sprouts as it is cheaper there. The prepared food selection is great! Vegan dessert selection - hallelujah! And I'm a big fan of all their vegan options actually - great stuff. I like that they give you a credit for every glass bottle you bring back -- not a small one either. $2 for each bottle! That brings down the cost of those fresh juices I love so I'll take it!! :) So spend some time finding your favorite stuff - this is a place to pick up a couple of things -- not do ALL your grocery shopping. First of all, you don't want a cart in this place -- too hard to navigate. But also, a full shop at Erewhon is 3 times what any other store would cost. But they do have some very excellent products so worth it for those things IMHO but not for EVERYTHING. Also, try to choose a time to go when it's not packed. the store is claustrophobic when full.

Approached this one older man and asked him if he could make me a bowl of Poke, he said no, you have to do it yourself and as I was still talking, he kept walking away from me. I approached him and said"I am talking to you and you keep walking away from me". That is rude and unprofessional. He didn't even apologize. His name was Mario in the seafood department. Poke looked very fresh along with all the other toppings and ingredients. Just by looking at it, it was super OVERWHELMING! He had nothing else to do, because he had both of his hands behind his back and just walking around. If he wanted to to help me, then he would have. This was on the morning of 7/17/26 a little before 9AM. On the other hand, Tony, who worked the Sushi Bar, in the same seafood department, saw what happened and apologized on Mario's behalf. The fridge for Sushi and other ready made fish items was EMPTY. Tony asked me what is it that he can do/make for me? I replied Spicy Tuna roll. He even wanted to know how many pieces? I told him 8. Right away he went back into the kitchen and made me what I have requested. For 8 pieces was only (12.99). Not a bad price. Came back and handed me the Sushi. Got home and tasted the food and it was very fresh and delicious. Next aisle that I visited was their frozen section. Needed to buy few waffles. There were 2 guys, that absolutely refused to help me. Wouldn't even let me speak. So, I looked around and found the waffles that I was NOT looking for. I wanted the Belgian Waffles and didn't see any. Got the Vans brand Power Grain Protein waffles, and gluten free Original Waffles. So for 4 waffles together came out to be $18.89 with tax. Next disappointment was, went to check out and there was no one at the registers. Waited for like 5 minutes, until this woman came and turned the light on for register # 4. Couldn't catch her name. Store was in a very nice condition, very clean, and fully stocked. They have everything from A to Z. Nice music was playing overhead. They have a very nice, big, 2 sections of patio/outside seating and every now and then, if you are lucky, you may find some items from everywhere that is on sale! They also have an inside seating by the flower area, and all around. Free parking, Wells Fargo ATM machine, and 2 gender neutral restrooms. I practically covered everything and more.

I used to go to Gelson's two or three times a week and stock up on food from their deli. They used to have a good selection in their hot deli section. Recently, you're lucky if there are 3-4 hot choices. And if you get there anytime after 1:00 pm or so, everything is completely dried out and stuck to the pans. I went today... wanted some sliced turkey from the carving station. No more full turkeys. Can't get dark meat or a drumstick. They only do the white meat breast. and it doesn't slice or taste the same as from a whole turkey. The salad bar has dropped in quality as well. No more black and green Olives. The hearts of palm are gooey... carrots are dried out. It is terrible. You can't even get a rubber band to hold the flimsy container closed!! They used to make really good Chicken tenders and fried chicken. They've changed the recipe on both and they are awful now. If you don't get them fresh out of the fryer, they are inedible. The produce is still high quality but not worth price. And other staples will simply bankrupt you. I've been to a couple of other Gelson's in the area and they all suffer the same drop in quality. It is a shame. I used to be willing to shell out extra $$ for a higher quality product. In the words of Inspector Clouseau... Not anymure!

Parking is super easy and convenient. You just drive up the ramp, go through the gate (it opens automatically), and there's no ticket needed. You even get one hour free, which is a huge plus. There's plenty of parking both underground and at street level in the Citrus Commons complex. I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's in general and shop here every week. What makes this store special is the selection -- you can find so many unique products that you won't see in other grocery chains, including a lot of European-style foods. Some of our favorites are eggplant spread, sauerkraut, frozen sweet cheese pancakes (blinchiki), pork dumplings, and many other great items. Prices are reasonable (around average), especially considering the quality and uniqueness of the products.

Another great bonus: there are actually two Trader Joe's stores right across the street from each other on Riverside Drive. This newer location is bigger, brighter, and has even more variety.
