It's current state in August of 2022 is certainly NOT as bad as it can get, and in fact has much improved under the current management/ownership. I am not being overly generous to rank it- "Good" with 4 Stars. That's a solid rating which hedges on "Excellent" were it not for a few somewhat minor issues; chief among them is PRICE for goods. After which is product variety; not only in type, but brand. Both of which can readily be explained by the fact that this store lies well off the beaten path as far as deliver routes go, which requires extra cost in delivery from those grocers who will even bother to do so; and that cost must be passed on to the Consumer. Even then, not everything can simply be delivered, and the store Manager must make routine trips to larger cities such as Bakersfield, Barstow, Lancaster, and Palmdale just to acquire them. Does anyone think this additional cost in the Manager's time and travel expense should not be paid for by the Consumer? If you do- you are being unreasonable and ridiculous. In summation, I am glad we have the Boron Food Market and know that we would suffer badly out here without it. And while I will likely always do my major food shopping in Lancaster/Palmdale stores; I will none-the-less continue to support the Boron Food Market with my "interval needs"; i.e.- fresh milk, ice cream products, and other perishables etc. I would suggest the same for anyone who lives here. It's the old "You'll never know how much you'll miss something until it's gone" conundrum. Did you know we once had a Bowling Alley? A small Theater? An indoor Skating Rink? All gone now thanks to a lack of Public support. It is WE who make the Desert feel much more desolate than it need be. Just keep that in mind.

Walmart has completed what they call "The New Walmart," and honestly, the experience feels worse…read morethan ever. I didn't stop shopping at Walmart because of one bad trip, I stopped because the experience slowly became worse every single time I went. I've shopped at Walmart for years, so this review comes from long experience, and a noticeable decline over time. During the remodel they added thousands of new products, packed in more shelving, and narrowed the aisles to the point where two shopping carts can barely pass. Finding anything has become a frustrating scavenger hunt. Yes, they have an app -- but it's slow, inconsistent, and not much help when you're already standing in a crowded aisle. Product selection has also gotten worse. Items that used to come in small, medium, and large now often skip the medium size entirely. If that's what you need, you're simply out of luck. Quality control has also slipped badly. I regularly see bread on shelves past the pull date, loaves with partially open wrappers that are already dried out, and yogurt singles stuffed into cartons where only the outside package shows a date -- leaving you guessing how old the product inside actually is. The meat department has become especially disappointing. Cuts are loaded with gristle and fat, and the quality is far below what I expect from a major grocery retailer. The bakery is overloaded with products -- so much inventory that it's hard to believe everything can possibly stay fresh long enough to sell. Produce is another problem. Fruits and vegetables are often limp, bruised, or slimy. Carrots bend easily instead of snapping fresh. Bananas are frequently overripe. Grapes and berries often contain spoiled pieces that ruin the entire package. The final straw came this weekend. After spending more than two hours shopping with two full carts, we ended up with a very inexperienced cashier who stacked heavy canned goods on top of soft fruit and mixed raw meats with produce. Then everything was packed into thin paper bags that tear if they hold more than a few pounds. By the time we got home, several bags ripped open while unloading, scattering groceries everywhere -- including a broken jar of jelly. Delivery has been just as frustrating. Orders arrive on time -- but at the wrong house. Customer service told us to check with neighbors and retrieve the delivery ourselves. One time that meant hauling multiple heavy cases of water back home. The response we got was simply to remove the tip and end the call. Unfortunately, this has happened more than once. At this point, we've already stopped buying meat at Walmart, and we're close to ending our regular grocery shopping there altogether. The "New Walmart" may be their vision of improvement, but for us it has meant lower quality, more frustration, and a much worse shopping experience. What's disappointing is that none of these issues alone would have driven us away. It's the steady accumulation of small frustrations -- declining quality, harder shopping conditions, and weaker customer service -- that finally changed our habits. We didn't set out to stop shopping at Walmart; we simply realized one day that the experience no longer felt worth it.

I was tending to her while someone went for help. It was extremely hot outside, and not much relief in the store. Hoping she is doing better. This was not a bathroom ( not that any are ) you want to face-plant in. Absolutely disgusting bathroom. The large stall had toilet paper all over the floor, and it looked like someone couldn't make it in time. Just everything was gross. We are so lucky in Tehachapi to have a Flying J that is so clean and maintained. Would not want to return unless we had no choice. 8/5/25

I got a chicken and beef mix. The beef is subtly sweet but very flavorful. The chicken is juicy. Pork is fatty and most in our group said it was their favorite.

I visited Kohnen's Bakery Tehachapi yesterday with my family, and this was honestly one of the…read moreworst customer service experiences I've ever had. I only purchased two items -- one cream puff and one slice of cheesecake -- but the cashier charged my card THREE times due to repeated mistakes. Here's exactly what happened: 1) My first card (Card A) was charged $11.20. The cashier asked me if I wanted a receipt, and I said yes. Then she told me the receipt didn't come out because the transaction "didn't go through," and asked me to provide my card again. 2) I gave the same card again, and this time she charged $11.69. 3) Then again, she told me that it didn't go through, so I used a different debit card (Card B), which was charged $11.20. While sitting at the table with my family, I immediately checked my bank account and thought I had only been charged twice. I spoke to a staff member at the store and requested a refund for one of the $11.20 charges, which was processed. However, today I realized I had actually been charged three times, meaning there was still another $11.20 that needed to be refunded. So I called the bakery and asked to speak with a manager. I spoke with someone named Danielle. I calmly explained the entire situation and told her I would send all my receipts and bank transaction records by email so they could double-check and confirm everything. She said ok and gave me their email address, but it was very long, and I was concerned about making a mistake while writing it down. So I politely asked if she could text me the email address instead. Her response was extremely rude -- she said, "I'm not required to do that," and told me to just write it down myself if I had a pen and paper. Although I was already uncomfortable with her attitude, I carefully wrote it down and sent the email. However, the email bounced back as invalid, even though I had confirmed the spelling with her multiple times over the phone. When I called again, Danielle answered and said, "Ma'am," in a very dismissive tone, and told me that they had found the three charges and had already processed refunds for both $11.20 transactions. I tried to confirm which card the refund was going to, since I used two different cards, but after putting me on hold for a long time, she read off a card number that was not mine. When I told her that wasn't my card, she insisted those were the only transactions for $11.20 yesterday and told me to "check my bank in a few days" and call back if the refund doesn't show up. And, she didn't apologize for the mistake, even though they charged my cards three times and wasted a significant amount of my time. Even yesterday, when I asked for an apology, I only received one reluctantly after I pointed out that they had made a mistake -- and even then, the response was dismissive, as if I should just accept it because they were "taking care of it." The attitude throughout this entire situation was rude, unprofessional, and extremely frustrating. The cheesecake was very good. But because of this experience, I would never come back. We drove all the way from Los Angeles to Tehachapi with my family, expecting a pleasant visit, but this bakery completely ruined the day. Being charged a total of $34.09 for just two small items due to repeated errors is unacceptable. If your staff cannot properly process payments, they should not be working as cashiers. Situations like this should never happen. What's even worse is that after making multiple mistakes, there was not a single sincere apology -- only attitude, dismissiveness, and instructions for me to keep checking my bank and call back again. My time is valuable. This entire situation could have been avoided if things were handled properly from the beginning. This was an extremely unpleasant experience, and I am very disappointed. Cf) For reference, the other $16.05 receipt is for bread that my brother purchased.
