The cakes were ready to go each time. The first time I purchased the gentleman asked me if I had ordered before. When I said no he explained that I should leave the cakes out for least two hours before serving. I wasn't given this advice this time around. Since I knew it from before I actually left them out over night. They were way better when I left them out over night! The ambience was also really pleasant and inviting. The atmosphere was welcoming. The overall experience felt warm and enjoyable. Overall I am extremely satisfied, with the customer service. How easy it is to purchase from this location.

Despite how hectic it was, her friendly and attentive service really stood out. Thanks, Mimi, for going above and beyond!

My family likes the Raley's brand of frozen foods, frozen vegetables, bran flakes, and coconut water. This isn't the cheapest store; however, they do carry quality ingredients. I will be stopping by this Redwood Shores location whenever I'm close by. Pro-tip: This location has an extensive cheese section and the meat and seafood counters are consistently serving people. Of course, the fresh fruits and vegetables are well organized, cared for, and welcoming.

I wouldn't say it's healthy by any means, but it does seem to contain less crappy ingredients than other commercial brands. I do believe it contains soy lecithin though unfortunately. Peppermint is one of their seasonal flavors, which they said should run through most of January. The peppermint flavor is prominent (which I love) and contains bits of peppermint candy. If you love peppermint, it's is a must! This location is located inside the food court at Hillsdale Mall. No seating inside, but there's plenty of shared food court seating. No photos of the actual ice cream because I was with people that find food picture taking annoying,, which actually worked out for me because I didn't want to deal with melting ice cream anyway, lol

I'm not sure about the previous reviewer who saw spots on the ceiling. Maybe he/she needs their eyes checked. Also, it's a real compliment about the staff in the meat dept who probably have been there for awhile, which shows just how steady & professional their long-term employees are. A good store takes care of their people & doesn't have the turnaround like other places. Overall, from their deli counter, bakery area, incredible meat & poultry dept to their fresh produce, this market has it all for sure!! Do yourself a favor & try them out. I'm quite sure you'll be pleasantly surprised. I Iove this place! . Robert

This is a review of the in-store bakery and their "Princess" cake…read more My Aussie daughter-in-law remembered the princess cake growing up. I had no idea about what it is. To celebrate a birthday i arrived at Lunardi's hoping the bakery had a Princess cake for us. We were greeted by the friendly staff and assured they had the cake in 2 colors, pinkish and greenish. We wanted to personalize it with a birthday greeting which the quickly did as we waited. On Google, a princess cake is a Swedish domed confection of layered sponge cake with raspberry jam, a custard layer covered in a smooth green marzipan dome. Precisely what we got. It was delicious. Not overly sweet, great texture and flavors. It's going to be one of my favorites from now on. Highly recommend you try one. It's a small cake maybe 6 inches square but packed with flavor.

In the old days, S&F was mainly where businesses shopped -- large size goods / commercial grade and packaging. Today, they still have LARGE, but also more normal size for the average consumer. You won't find a butcher here, but they do have freshly packaged meat. Lots of produce, frozen and refrigerated goods, and a ton of bottled and packaged items. They even have BOOZE: fine liquors, wine, and beer. Tips: ==== 1) Bring your own bags 2) Bring your own COLD storage bags for the gallons of ice cream you will buy (oh yes you will). The lines may only be 5-7 deep, but your ice cream will melt.

No bagging services ("they're right there"), eating food with gloves on and then touching my groceries, helped me very grudgingly with a digital coupon, unpleasant service. Not to mention unkempt appearance and poor communication. If I wanted to bag my own groceries i would have used self checkout. This location has a problem with bags. First they don't follow the law, now they don't bag for you. I only come here strictly for produce, and convenience. Nothing is actually wrong with Smart and Final products. It's the PEOPLE AT THIS LOCATION. Specifically Kimberley. Feel like I need to jump in a vat of holy water after entering here.
