βCashiers should be more friendly. The pan dulce is great, but it would be helpful if they posted the times when it will be ready. A thing I dislike about the store is the limited parking space.β
βWas in and out in less than 10 minutes as I was there for only a few items for Thanksgiving when one of their managers suggested I hold off on those items until the next night as they were plant base..β

Namaskar ji! Aap sabhi ko pyaar bhara namaskar. Adaab from Vacaville. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I reserve the right to update it in the future.
I have attached a copy of my sales receipt dated October 6, 2024, as proof of my purchase and to ensure the authenticity of my review.
As a personal chef with a focus on regional Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Persian cuisines, I am always excited to explore spice shops. They fuel my culinary curiosity and offer a chance to discover new ingredients.
Since 2020, I have regularly shopped at Delhi Bazaar on 1324 W Texas St. Unfortunately, the store has recently been closed at random times without notice, and my calls have gone unanswered. I hope everything is well with the staff at Delhi Bazaar.
In light of this, I decided to visit Spices 4 Less, and Iβm thrilled to say theyβve won me over as a repeat customer.
The young lady at the checkout (the owner's daughter) was kind enough to inform me that ****Spices 4 Less does not have a minimum purchase requirement****βno extra fees of any kind, if used with Google Pay, Apple Pay, etc.
The store is small, but finding the masalas I neededβespecially amba haldiβsparks joy. Itβs a common ingredient in Odia and Marathi cuisines.
Main bahut khush hoon!
The owner (uncle-ji) and his daughter were incredibly kind, polite, and helpful throughout my shopping experience. I was the Chinese/Burmese customer with an affinity for Bollywood who came around 1 PM, wearing glasses, and full of excitement.
Bahut dhanyavaad for making my first visit to Spices 4 Less such a memorable and positive experience. I look forward to returning!
Wishing you all the best in health and happiness,

βThis is a very nice Grocery Outlet. It is well stocked and very tidy. The service is great too, very friendly staff. The parking lot is also tidy and the shopping carts are in good working order and clean. The aisles are mostly free and the shopping easy. When a line formed at the checkout, another checkout opened right away. The only things they didn't have that I was looking for were ice cream in 1/2 gallon size and cherry tomatoes in any size. But that seems to be the norm for Grocery Outlets.β
βI had to make the fastest dash thru the store. With no minutes to spare. But I did. They let me in the store with 10 minutes left. I accomplished most of my goal with very little left to finish. I was still successful. Thanks Raley's.β
βI just tried this place for the first time, and it did not dissapoint. Very authentic, delicious tasting food- made with love. Big servings, good service. Give this place a try!β

βI love this market. They are all very personable, and the store has a little bit of almost everything. I like supporting the small, family owned businesses like this one. Always friendly, and if they don't carry something, and you ask about it, it'll be there the next time you go in. Great service. They also have a small food counter where you can order made-to-order lunch. 5 stars all around for this market.β
βGreat selection of kimches and banchon.The Kimball was very fresh and tasty. The ramen section is filled with many different types. The prices are very reasonableβ
βThe commissary has been a staple in our family as long as I can remember. As a guest with my mother the commissary was very clean and organized. With many items not found off base. There is one issue a cashier I think his name is Greg tall black man with little braids. His name was spoken many times in line as to being rude and or discourteous. Many older females did not want to go to his check out lane due to his behavior.β
βThis is my favorite place to buy my drank because: 1) Lowest price on Fireball. 2) Staff is very friendly. 3) The store is always clean & organized with a good selection of products.β

βCheapest gas in Fairfield and Vacaville. Employees are very nice and polite. Lines can get really long depending on what time of day you go. They also take EBT. The lines get very long because this gas station usually has the cheapest gas in Fairfield. Get there by 6am and you probably won't have to wait.β
βLiquor and snacks. Small selection of groceries. Lots of ice cream selections.
We tend to stop her once or twice a week. Very clean and friendly workers.β

βThe owner is a great guy, and so are his employees. It's clean, personable, and they play 95.3 KUIC on the radio all day long at this store. We talk about the everyday stuff like friends meeting up In the morning to walk to school. Wide variety of items and some of the things there are hard to find in a supermarket sometimes are there. They are kind and have never got disrespectful with people since I've been going to this store which has been almost 3 years now.β
βThis store has all Indian Grocery at one place with reasonable prices. They have stuff which is not easy to get. Different variety of spices and herbs, fresh vegetables, ready to eat food and also have useful utensils and clothes. The new owners are friendly and are ready to help always.β

βI just want to take a moment, and thank my bonfare store #27 clerk...' Ram ', 2nd shift employee. I have been a customer since 2005 and have seen a lot of clerks come and go over there. But Ram is different his loyalty to the store should be noticed. ' Ram ' as a person has always been warm and welcoming to me and my family. Not to mention that closing shift can be tricky at times considering what's happening in the parking lot....keep up the good work.β
βAlways clean and staff are friendly and helpful! The butcher gave my 13yo an impromptu spanish lesson when he recognized me trying to get my son to order in Spanish :)β
βI've always thought of this as a premiere go to Safeway ... unfortunately today that bubble burst!
Meat dept smelled bad
Some foods on the shelf were expired at full price!
The store was not clean...and
The bathroom was unusable, so dirty and smelly!
I won't be back here for awhile!!β
βTHE CORNER STORE!! YEEE. this is my go to place to get anything when im in Fairfield. My house is right down the street and I've been going to this store for as long as I can remember. Always got nothing but good things to say about this place.β
βDue to Covid19, there was a long single file line but it went as quick as can be expected, everything was orderly. The veggies were fresh and plentiful and very well priced, as were there fruits. The strawberries are red all the way through. And the green tomatoes will get up with nicely. Go check it out!β
βPretty sketchy area but the employees customer service is top notch. Once I left my cell phone in the cart in the parking lot and called the store from home and found out one of the employees pulling the carts in found my phone. Thank you for their serious customer service!β
βI found an item that was out of stock at another Raley's, but found it here. The bathroom is in the back of the store and you have to get someone to let you in. Also, I bought Claritin, which is located by the pharmacy and had the ticket for it. I waited until they got back from lunch and was told I had to take it to the register. The sign did say that, but didn't specify if it was up front or at the pharmacy register.β
βThese guys put up with a lot of disrespect everyday from people that are of the same background, creed, and or ethnicity as myself. (Im an English speaking white guy born here)Iβm embarrassed at times witnessing this behavior from my peers. And yet it is tolerated with far more grace than I could afford because I would not put up with that behavior for one second. Treat others how you want to be treated! Every time I walk in their door, I wear a smile and receive the same back at me. ?Much respect gentleman. Thank you for your patience to those who arenβt so enlightened yet.β
βNew self-service is not a welcomed change. I hate to see this story go there.
Update: Went yesterday on their busy Friday. Only check stands open were self checkout and the 10 or less. Did not feel welcome with my full basket.β
βI enjoy shopping at TraderJoes. The store is always clean and organized, great food choices, other great items & friendly helpful staff. ? The organization still believes in customer service ...β
