- SSSheryl M Stepetin6 days ago4.0Parking and charging area has a very strong urine smell. Charging is not Free. Someone posted that the charging your car is free. It's Not.
- ABAl BelNov 11, 20252.0They got rid of the grilled chicken option for made to order sandwiches, which was my favorite :( I didn’t know until they were mostly done making the sandwich and looked at me really confused when I asked why the chicken wasn’t on it. They were just going to give me bread, cheese, and lettuce. I had asked for grilled chicken sandwich initially and they said ok… I don’t know why they didn’t just tell me before. you can tell this location just doesn’t really make sandwiches often because the vegetables look old and the person always seems confused every step of the way when I order. I also love their breakfast burritos but sometimes its hard to flag someone down to get one made. The produce in this store isn’t the freshest. Sometimes here and there the bagged salad will be expiring that day at no discount, so check exp dates. But otherwise it’s kept clean, organized, and the staff are generally pretty nice.
- RAR. AtizadoNov 8, 20254.0Like this store a lot but didn’t like being greeting by ‘spare change’ askers at the front door or in the garage.
- ADA. DíazNov 3, 20252.0Groceries are overpriced, and it barely has enough staff. The checkout lanes are always unstaffed; you get one lane open if you are lucky. Corporate is squeezing every cent it can out of the people who have no better choice, and it can’t even remodel or fully stock this store. This place is depressing. The produce is horrible; I had to throw away everything I bought there for months until I gave up and stopped buying produce from them.
- GSGeetika SaraswatOct 21, 20252.0I will avoid buying any bakery products which has sugar. Muffins, cakes etc are full of sugar. There is no taste of actual product like for e.g. blueberry sliced loaf it does not taste as blueberry instead it has only one taste sugar and flour which is not baked very well.
