“I like Trader Joe's. They have a great selection and prices are always reasonable. The people that work there are always very helpful. They know where everything is and they will even smile at you. Imagine that a grocery store worker that smiles. The biggest thing that I've hated about Trader Joe's since I moved here in 2000 is most of their parking lots are like little Tijuana. That's on the customers. I don't know how the company could fix it other than having some parking attendants help people with their parking and their inability to look past their own hoods. And then of course the customers would be indignant and offended and probably not listen to the parking attendants anyway. There's so many sensors of the universe in Southern California I don't know how this place does collapse in upon itself due to the incredible gravitational forces of so many entitled people.”
“It's a well functioning and staffed trader Joe's. Clean. Temps in coolers are correct. You can usually checkout quickly except busiest times. Rarely have I seen items that were completely out. It is a good store.”
“A Trader Joe's associate who was working on the bread display was fabulous and a major asset to the store. She was hospitable and knowledgeable. She walked me to items that fit my list and made suggestions for substitutions for items not available. Superb! I am so sorry that I didn't think to get her name.”
“I stopped by to buy mung bean trail mix snacks. I needed 10 bags, but there were only 9 bags, so I bought them all and shared them with my friends. I am very satisfied because there are many snacks made with natural ingredients.”
“I was craving some Turkish delights candy, and found this place on Yelp and bookmarked it. Since I was in Pasadena running errands, I decided to make a stop by here. The shop is small, but charming! Brightly lit with lots of yummy products lined up on the walls and throughout the shop: Dried fruits, roasted nuts, seasonings, buckets of nuts and what I call Turkish delights, but it's called Mediterranean Delights here. I was hoping for the pretty, extravagant ones I saw on the Yelp pictures, but they only had some pre packaged ones in bins. I like that they're in a sealed wrap so they last longer. There are a lot of packaged snack items that would make great gifts. Since I am nuts for nuts, I had to give these roasted treats behind the counter a try. The proprietor there was super friendly and let me try some pistachios before I bought them. There were so many flavor options I had trouble narrowing down what I wanted. I settled on lemon pistachios and sesame peanuts in addition to a few of the Mediterranean delights. The nuts are flavorful and tasted fresh and crunchy. The candies were pretty good also. All the loose items are sold by the pound and prices are pretty reasonable. Highly recommend this shop if you're looking for some fun flavored snacks!”
“I go for their small meat department. Small, but extremely high quality meats. The department staff is friendly and they make me feel like an old friend. I'm always greeted with a smile when at the checkout registers. This market is relatively small, but it's jammed-packed with delightful things to discover and find. I suggest that you visit for yourself. Stroll around and be amazed at the produce, the teas, desserts and the exotic foods and delicacies. Walk into this friendly, inviting and fun spot. Walk out a repeat customer.”
“The basturma is fabulous and the service is good. Not much else to say. We worry about who will take over the business, quality, and tradition/s once Garo and his wife retire.”
“Amazing place. Omg huge selection. Reasonable prices. Best tamal and guacamole I have had in ages! And the service was great. I got agua frescas and ceviche and I was waiting less than a minute before someone came to help me and they were so nice and friendly too!”
“I stopped at Stater Bros this morning to pick up some water this morning, but I didn't see my brand stocked. Usually, when you ask an employee, they'll tell you that whatever is on the shelf is what they have. However, I ran into Victor on the other aisle and he was the one that volunteered to check the inventory and 3 minutes later, he brought out more water for me.Then later, I was looking for mini bagels and didn't see any. Victor was walking by and I inquired with him. He remembered that the vendor was on site delivering merchandise and went outside to meet them. Not more than 5 minutes later, he had my bagels.I'm telling you, you can't get better customer service at any supermarket, more than at Stater Bros!!! Thank you so much Victor, you made my shopping day!!”
“Great place with high quality products! So happy to have found this place. Love the Feta and Olives from the Deli and the jam and honey selection! Highly recommend, you’ll find thing you didn’t even know you needed.”

1750 E Washington Blvd, Pasadena“I've been coming to this market over 11 years. The guys working here are always very nice. Same staff as long as I can remember. It's more convenient then 7-11 meaning you don't have to get out of your car. Great for those who have a hard time getting around, or have children in the car, (that's usually me). In and out... Glad to have you guys around!”
“A lot of selections of wine, spirits and beer at reasonable prices compared to other local liquor stores with a lot of other selections of flavored drinks and everyday necessities.”
“I love shopping at Sprouts Market in Pasadena. Love the fresh produce, great meat department, great selection of vitamins, love how you can get a sandwich at the market and employees are so friendly...”

Neat and clean.”
“Tried this local meat market for the first time yesterday and the carne asada and chicken with their marinade is so tasty. I am sometimes hesitant in purchasing marinated meat from places but this place, you can tell the meat and chicken were fresh and he marinated the chicken right then and there. And this place is $4 cheaper on carne asada than our local markets. Good customer service too. This will be my new place for meat and chicken.”

“This is a fairly friendly store, at least at the registers, especially Kevin. The store is clean and well stocked. The manager is also friendly and orders items not in stock for me, which I appreciate. People stocking are at times not friendly but I think many of those folks are from suppliers and have tight deadlines to meet. I enjoy this and three other nearby Smart and Final stores. One minute grouse is their "electronic coupon" specials. No one seems to be able to tell me how to access the additional savings they offer. I just don't buy those items knowing I can't get the additional savings. That's it.”
“Great ? prices and specials. Employees are warm, inviting, very welcoming, informative...They Make AMAZON. If you're a Prime Member...extra savings. Try AMAZON FRESH!!!!!”
“A generally low-key Armenian/Mediterranean/Middle-Eastern store. Lots of variety of both fresh produce and canned goods. There's a fresh deli counter and small meat market as well.”

1329 N Lake Ave, Pasadena“I really enjoyed coming here for a while but then the tranient really messed up this place and was really sketchy to return. But I have to say the new guard company that is here really did a number on homelessness on site. The guard at night, Willie I could visibly see him patrolling the parking lot. He was so nice and approachable.”

1287 N Lake Ave, Pasadena“Highest quality water I've had. The alkaline tastes amazing. All the workers are very friendly. They do a great job cleaning the bottles and serving the water. It's a great looking store, too.”
“I had the best experience at Chasste Family Market. Drove out today all the way from West Hollywood because I wanted to try their food and pick up some Filipino snacks. I’m a Mestizo so I rarely get a chance to eat Filipino food. These guys treat you like family. They take time to ask every person if they’re familiar with the food. Give you samples and give you the history of the business. I felt good spending my money there. Food was solid. My favorite was the original Turon. Omg the crunch. Nothing like it! I’ll be back. Thank you guys so much. I hope your business continues to thrive!”
