This Smart & final is so supportive to the community. We frequently go there for events to support a local troop. They always have the items that we need in stock at great prices. Also we need to mention Seth the manager is so helpful in working with us and all the other stuff. Thank you

Great place to shop. The produce is pretty much the best in town and the prices are usually lower than the grocery chain stores. Their meat and dairy are great also. Im holding back one star for customer service which i think doesnt quite make the grade. They could be more friendly and maybe remember that a customer [question] isnt an interruption of their work, but the reason for it in.

Update 5/6/2020: Management still has not made the appropriate changes needed for cashier scheduling for this location.Cashiers need additional COVID training and managers need additional staffing training.

Went in for some assorted pastries and had a great experience. Sheila was helping me checkout and was one of the sweetest people. She truly brightened my already great day. I’ll have to stop back in next time I’m in the area

This place has good produce and groceries at reasonable prices. Its always clean and is a newer market. Bakery products and their generic First Street general brand products are also good too. They carry regular size and party size quantities. Check out is relatively quick too.

Great customer service, overall good place to go shopping for groceries.

Review №27

Cashier thought my mom was using WIC to pay for groceries. Honestly, seems kinda of discriminatory if you assume all Mexican Americans use food assistance. Overall, shopping was a breeze and I always feel people look at us weird just because we have our cart full.

Review №28

This Smart and Final is great. Its actually better than the one in Mission Viejo, as far as having more products and a larger selection. However, the reason its only getting four stars is because the parking lot is so in very need of repaving, its not even funny. If youre buying glass bottles, make sure you place them in your cart away from each other. Otherwise, great store.

Review №29

The employees are nice but most have no clue about what products they carry and where they are. My roomate went back the day after I picked up a specific product to get more. He couldnt find where they were at and the employees said they had never heard of it before. Now I have to go back with him because I am apparently the only person that knows where this product is in the store and not only that but I am the only person who knows they carry it??? This is insanity!!!! I have also been told the wrong aisle most times I ask where a product is.

My wife and I shop here regularly for many years. The prices are better than most places and the quality is pretty good. The lines during peak hours can get long sometimes. Most of the time it is not that crowded and the atmosphere on the whole is clean and neat. Good place to shop

My favorite store for everything, they have very good special every week and great customer service from all the cashiers.

Br
Review №32

Always need to read the fine print on everything thats on sale. They play the biggest shopping game of all stores. Tired of reviewing recipt and not getting price I saw because I didnt spend enough or needed to buy other products to get the sale price or must by 10 or whatever scavenger hunt you must play. Youd be SMART to FINALLY shop at stores that dont play games.

Review №33

Good quality good and prices. Smart and Final offers a wide selection of single use ingredients for individual use and bulk items for large gatherings. They have everything from Alcohol to Paper Goods to Cleaning items, and sides of beef, not really but they were big enough to be a side. All of this, with a wide selection of items - unlike a warehouse store. And the prices are about the same as a warehouse store.

Review №37

Lots of choices with a wide variety of brand offerings on all food needs. Prices are comparable, if not a little bit lower, to other grocery stores around the area. Does not offer the main brands though since they have their own brand of almost everything. Great thing with this store, parking is no hassle. Shopping carts are allowed on the parking lot to your car.
