Went in last week to grab a few groceries after work and overall it was a pretty solid experience. The store was clean and organized, which made it easy to find what I needed without walking around forever. Produce looked fresh and the prices were fair compared to other places nearby. Staff at the checkout was polite, not overly chatty but helpful when I had a quick question. Lines moved at a decent pace, even during a busy hour. Parking was easy too, which I always appreciate. Nothing over the top, but it’s a reliable grocery store I wouldn’t mind coming back to again.

This location because the rest are far but gonna stop. I strictly come for the orange juice I not even gonna lie. But the last two times the oranges were very old and my two cartons, yes two 👀, were very nastyyy. Grapes molded within the day. They do keep a great stock of heirloom tomatoes that I enjoy. They're always fresh and not soggy. The cashier's are also very warm. Security scopes too much, Its in a area that gets a lot of homeless but I never see them in there for the amount of watching that gets done when I'm in the store, hmmph.

This place used to be really good about keeping the soup bar stocked and filled but it’s been bad lately. They very rarely carry vegetarian chili which many people seem to ask for but not available and when they do it’s often gunky and overcooked . The mac and cheese is sometimes grey and doesn’t get restocked when it’s supposed to, even when you tell an employee they don’t seem to care lately. They should sell the soups in cold containers and have a microwave nearby if the staff can’t be bothered to put out warm soup.

The Byron store in North Park, San Diego, is truly exceptional. It’s the best store in the area, offering high-quality products and consistently fresh food. Most impressive is their salmon—so fresh and juicy that it’s practically sashimi-grade. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, making every visit enjoyable. Additionally, their generosity stands out—they donate food weekly to local churches, which is deeply appreciated. A fantastic store all around!
