Nice store, and one of the few places in the area open on the Fourth of July. Eisles were clean, well lit, nicely stocked and wide, with an overall good layout. A good variety of products, deli, sushi, produce, flowers, organic, vegan,...Read More

I've lived in Santa Barbara for 25 years. I could write a book about why this is the worst grocery store in town. It's filthy, prices are 35% to 50% higher than any other store in the area. And many of the employees are the...Read More

I go here with my 97 yr old grandmother. They always help us find what we need and when they don’t have her favorite yogurt they’ll go to the back and get it for her. They even had wine tasting the last time I was...Read More
