Deli woman didn't wear gloves serving me from deli section . She put food in the container with dirty hands holding the big spoon . Don't matter BCS I was at another store and bought from their delie and he put on gloves . it's the health department thing! after she was cleaning the floor though she took her gloves off after sweeping the floor and then didn't put new ones on to serve my food . Also the cashier didn't put the same food in the bag and never asked if I want one . When I said I need a bag even though it's one item so she just put a bag in front of me to do it myself ! These people need training it's the poor mangement that's the bottom line. The glove issue is really sensitive .only after I noticed that she might have touched my food with her bare hands and I said it to her that I think you touched my food she put aside the food and put new gloves on and served another batch. and after I left the area I went out of site and saw her putting that same food that she put aside back in to the tray to serve again!! OMG ,So where is the training .? I always buy deli items from other DELI shops all over town , they always wear gloves. I don't even need to ask or worry. It's the law.

A customer at Vicente Foods for over 40 years, I can say that this store is the epitome of care, quality, and service.

Yes, for produce and meats, the prices are a bit higher. But after purchase, we need discard nothing--there is no waste; the quality of produce is unequaled--even in many farmers' markets--and the meats are extraordinary. Fresh things taste like they should...like we remember they "did." Tomatoes are tomatoes, and the same is true for any vegetable, fruit, or meat. The staff are informed, gracious, and generous, and the wine and liquor department is itself carefully curated--with advice, conversation, and--when desired--very helpful information and instruction. And of course, there is the service deli--incredible...with some homemade specialties and wonderful sandwiches....all with a smile and engaging conversation--and there is the bakery--Mamolo's--a Viktor Benes original, with baked goods, whose quality is equaled only by the staff's sweetness (no, really).

Importantly, during this chaotic crisis, management and staff have done everything they can to support one another, and to provide products and service as seamlessly as it is humanly possible to do, being vigilant about the health of staff and the safety of customers. ...

Probably THE Best Health/Organic grocery shopping for any and all Individuals that eat food on a daily basis. Cons: Iittle pricey Pros: you couldn’t create a better grocery store from the healthiest sources in America - or if you could this is it it. The Best selection of carrots. The best greens . The best bakery / sweets. They make sure they have the healthiest version or selection of every product.

Coolest and Best Store I’ve ever shopped at, I couldn’t get too much, as you can tell it’s more Organic Focused.. but I got what I could and I am pleased.

If you need a quick grocery to go to , to have what you’re needing or expecting go to Ralphs.

If you’re shopping for yourself or your family and care about health/vegan/Organic issues - come here and spend some of your paycheck. Your taste buds won’t regret it.. just wait till you make your homemade (whatever) with ingredients here compared to Walmart’s...
