    30 Red Velvet cupcakes for $15, awesome deal for a party! Is it good? I dunno, I'm not eating it.

    I came in today to pick up some steaks for lunch and boy it was a big disappointment when I got home. As you can see in the picture the steaks does not look very fresh at all. Actually it was borderline disgusting. Nobody like steaks in rainbow colors. This is how people get food poisoning. Frankly, I don't even know how this pack got in the rotation. The meat department needs to do a better job in ensuring that the meat is fresh and remove all this rotten junk out of the counter. At the store the meat look like it was in good condition when I picked it up. But when I got home and flipped it over to season it that's when I saw the yellowish and grey colors on it. My advice for you is to double check it before you buy it. Look at it closely because you'll end up wasting money on bad quality food here.

    All in all I like this store... but they do have an issue with stock rotation. Specifically in the deli section. Many stores are promoting Boars Head deli meats. Being from the east coast that was our go too deli meat. Bu I like some other yelpers have bought meat. 8 days prior to the sell by date, I figured I was safe! Not! Oh, before I forget beware of the trick they do in the deli, they will take 1 pound of turkey mislabel it. Let's say just for giggles, Havarti cheese! So her you come... see that there is 1 LB of turkey for $5.63 when it should be $9.95 or higher. You think you hit the jackpot right? Until you get home and open up your ill gotten gains. So, now you realize that funny smell coming from your trunk, on the way home, was the sliced Turkey imitating sliced Cheese! Maybe they need to have their refrigeration units checked and re- calibrated! Just saying.

    I ordered my dad's 77th fresh strawberry whipped cream cake. It was absolutely delicious.

    I went here with my family on Saturday. I have to say that…read moreI'm not the chain's target audience (eating healthy to me is having one bacon cheeseburger instead of two). I'm giving 4 stars because the store is great for the regular shoppers. The store is open daily from 7 a.m.-10 p.m. The employees were friendly and available. My wife didn't find the lip balm that she was looking for, but a male employee did his best to help her. The Christmas decorations are low-key, but nice. There are even a lot of small stockings with the names of the employees on them. I'm bringing this up because the staff being like a family was the basic vibe that I felt. There were a good number of items on sale. There were also some NEW FOR YOU items. A lot of the signage here looks vintage, but it's all easy to read and helpful. There's a decent selection of beef jerky products, but zero-sugar meat sticks taste too bland to me. I was willing to buy an egg salad or tuna sandwich, but neither seem to be sold here. The selection of prebiotic drinks is excellent. (When I tried the drinks years ago, my stomach did so many backflips that it made a gymnastics team.) 3 shoppers were annoying and in the way, but that's a common theme when I go grocery shopping anywhere. Note: Both prices include tax. BROOKiE SQUARES CHOCOLATE CHIP ($5.26): 7.5/10. The ones from another chain are better, but my wife is a fan. The Tom's deodorant for my son was $11.06. This is a bit pricey. Powerhouse Hobbs: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/66/Will_%22Powerhouse%22_Hobbs%2C_2022_%28headshot%29.jpg A local professional wrestler entered the store right after we left (I was stunned, and only quietly said hi). He plays a heel (a bad guy), and he was snarling when he walked up. It's nice that he stays in character. Lol. This will never be our go-to store, but we had a good experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZCm4iy8k6o&t=1s

I remembered a place on Jackson Street that I had gone to 5 years ago that had a tremendous selection - looked it up on Yelp and it was no longer on Jackson, but was listed in Castro Valley. So we went thought we'd go by and give it a try. Great decision! The "new" store in Castro Valley is much brighter, cleaner, nicer than the old location. I think the old location had more stuff from Eastern Europe, but this new location seems to have a broader selection, with more stuff from Western Europe and the Middle East. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and helpful - always willing to answer questions and even give tips on how to use the products that they sell. And his recommendations have been great - we asked him about which tahini and zaatar to get (they have many different brands/types of each...) and the ones he recommended have been way tastier than any of the brands that you find in most markets. Especially good was his recommendation on lebnah - he said that the brands they carry are all good, but they have some that they package in-house that was special. I tried it - it was less expensive than the other brands, but was the very best lebnah that I have ever tasted! Richer, creamier, with just the right amount of tang. Wonderful stuff! Anyway, Crossroads is a nice, clean, well-lit place with a great selection of unique products, and friendly, knowledgeable sales staff. Well worth a trip!

I went to pick it up on Wednesday, only to be told it wasn't ready yet. When I explained that I had already called it in on Sunday, the employee initially said she didn't see anything in the system and told me to come back the next day. After I reminded her again that I had called in, she suddenly "found" it and told me to come back in 2 hours and that I would receive a text message when it was ready. I never received the text message they promised. I returned on Friday, and once again they couldn't locate my prescription. After more searching, they finally found it -- but they also tried to give me someone else's order at the same time. I had to explain that I only had one prescription and asked them to verify it using my phone number, not just my last name. The entire experience was very unprofessional, disorganized, and frustrating. On top of that, the drive-thru wait was over 20 minutes. For something as important as prescriptions, accuracy and communication should be a priority. This pharmacy seriously needs to improve its customer service and organization.
