Close by and surprisingly wide stock of quality food. Less expensive than most.

I like this store. Nice selection of produce at a reasonable price.My only problem is the size of the packages. I understand it's more of a bulk store but some of the packages are just too big.

This Smart & Final has been 8 or so yrs. In that time it is odd that every store manager (5 so far) has been abrasive. The last would curse alot and very loud and at the employees. Other than that it is a decent store.Very clean, great selection, fresh produce and competitive pricing. The reason for 3 stars is not so much the management as the outside element. Unfortunately the place is plagued by homeless persons. They used to ask for change or to take your cart. Not so bad. Now they just congregate in packs and smoke Fentanyl off foil. SEE PIC. At least they are too loaded to cause trouble.

Never a long wait to check out. Plenty of employees at ANY given time. I have yet to have to hunt down an associate for assistance. Great prices and friendly staff make for a decent shopping experience.

Originally the S&F stores focused on restaurant business supplies and bulk food quantities but became popular for home shoppers. Always shop their ads as they have some good prices and lost leaders and you can find some things that other traditional grocery stores don't carry. And check the meat case; there'll often be unadvertised manager specials which are some good deals. This store is small but usually well-supplied with ad items unlike the nearby Oceanside and Vista stores which run out of the more popular meat ad items even though they are larger stores. Also use the app and make sure you clip the deals you want or you won't get the ad price. Good little store in downtown Carlsbad.

Never been to a Smart n Final with better customer service!! I am pregnant and was having a craving issue - Jessica (purple hair and rainbow mask) singlehandedly SOLVED my issue and made me sooo grateful. I also felt so comfortable there as a Transperson because not only was she wearing a rainbow mask, but she also had her pronouns written directly on her name tag! My partner also had two great encounters with her today - once while working DoorDash and doing a shop for a customer and a second time after work when she checked him out. Wonderful human. So glad she works there. Truly a Jedi master as her belt said! THANK YOU JESSICA!!

Walked in and immediately heard them gossiping about a customer. "You know that customer that comes in and is weird and never talks--" Kept walking but soured my view of the store. It was the large Hispanic woman.. I've worked as a cashier many times, and I still would never gossip like that openly. Gross.

This is the worst store I have dealt with. Freezer problems all the time. The ends of bacon I bought bad a 2 pack. Bacon is not cheap. I can't believe this is a smart and finale. I'll change to the one on 101 always clean and fully stocked. When you talk to the manager he dismiss you with some excuse. Clean up throw out bad food. Get the freezers fixed .Stock the store with fresh food.
