    I absolutely love coming here. They have a delicious hot bar with lots of varietes. This particular visit I came to grab a few items for Christmas. They had things I'd never seen elsewhere. But before leaving, we had to buy one of their cookies. Yum! Literally one of our favorites. Always a great experience at Bristol Farms. Their store is spotless and their service is top notch.

    I love this store. I wish they had one closer to my home, but my wife and I will drive here when we need fresh fish. Since Santa Monica Seafood closed in Costa Mesa, this is the only place that has premium large filets of fresh fish. Yes, it's pricey, but you get what you pay for. My wife and I went last Sunday morning. We can't just purchase the one particular item we intended to shop for. We have no self-control and visit every department section and end up purchasing fresh produce, bakery, and wine. LOL!

    Poke

    This place is AMAZING! They have one of the biggest cheese islands I have ever seen, an international section with great selections, and of course, POKE!!! It has been my lifelong dream to get bowl of Hawaiian style poke without rice and boy did they deliver!! I filled one of their poke bowls about halfway with poke and it was only $13!! Most places these days charge more than that for a tiny bit of poke over a huge bed of rice. The employees were friendly and the store was very clean and spacious! Might be my new favorite grocery store

    Bristol Farms is a great spot to come for lunch. The sushi and poke bar is amazing and always feels super fresh and healthy. It is one of my favorite quick lunch options. The sandwiches and soups are solid too, and they have a really good selection of protein bars and specialty items. That said, this is a very expensive grocery store, so I would not come here for my weekly grocery shopping. It is more of a premium stop for prepared foods and specialty items than an everyday market for me.

    Hot bar is great.

    My friend had her art displayed at the Newport Beach library and we all went to go see it. For lunch we decided to stop at Bristol Farm. Their hot food and salad bar is small but mighty. I was very impressed. I grabbed the greenest kale salad I've ever seen plus some proteins. It is $11.99 a pound and well worth it because I ate it for three days. Also pro tip at Bristol Farms you can go to the cookie counter and ask them for a sample of their chocolate chip cookie and they will give it to you. It is warm and it is gooey and if you really really like it it's only $4.00 a cookie. There's a cafe are inside you can sit at also. Easy parking. Please come and create your own adventure.

    I never go here because it's so pricey but I was just browsing and found so many good things in the hot food section. I didn't want to go crazy or else I wouldn't have any money for essentials. I was a little sick so i decided to get some of their hot soup. I just got the chicken noodle, perfect for my sickness and i have to admit, it was yummy. I would definitely get it again and when i have extra money and in the area, i definitely want to try a breakfast burrito and some other stuff in the area.

    8/10/24 Another browsing experience to see what this supermarket has to offer. Just like Gelson's, I consider Bristol Farms as another upscale place to purchase groceries. They offer quality fresh produce, meats, dairy & other essentials. I like the layout & aesthetics, aisles are neatly arranged, so are the produce--see photos. You can tell the staff take the time for the products to look pristinely stacked. The delicatessen looks impressive with a variety of foods to select from. The salad bar boasts fresh ingredients, also selling at $12/lb. Everything at this store looks well maintained. The floral dept also looks like it has a good selection of plants & fresh flowers although I think that Gelson's has more tasteful arrangements. Depending on what you're looking for or what you're into, both Gelson's & Bristol Farms are equally great upscale supermarkets. These two are not in the same league as Ralphs or Albertsons. To each his/her own. If you're looking for top/quality products with equally higher price tag, this is it.

    I love coming here very much because there is a lot of delicious food from the hot bar to choose from, and the people are super nice.

    Have sweet tooth check out the variety

    Who can forget the Ham on Thanksgiving ? Me that's who ! So came to Bristol Farms to pick one up & I always feel the warm welcome from the staff here it's very reassuring & makes me glad that I'm back home. It's always very clean shelves are faced never disorganized, seafood is always fresh, & meats always best cut there is. Have a sweet tooth check out their candy isle. HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL MAY YOU & YOUR FAMILY BE BLESSED THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

    The "Chocolate Chip" and "Peanut Butter" Cookies. The absolute best best I've ever had!
    Cory G.

    I forgot how delicious this place was!! Stopped today and grabbed a couple "Chocolate Chip" and "Peanut Butter" Cookies. The absolute best I've ever had, also got a delicious wedge salad. As usual the service here is amazing and the vibe is very chill.

    we were gifted for a Thanksgiving meal two years ago, it was beyond fabulous; they have everything so well organized for pick up and the preparation is SO MUCH easier than spending hour upon hour in the kitchen. Expensive and well worth it!

Everybody knows this" His attitude was completely unnecessary and incredibly disrespectful. He also appeared to have been drinking himself, which made his behavior even more uncomfortable. It's one thing to enforce a policy it's another to treat paying customers like they're being kicked out of the place. A simple heads-up when we arrived would have prevented the entire situation. My bf spends hundreds $$$ at this place. This was such a bad experience!!! I am very disappointed.

You ordered food and drink at the counter, paid the cashier, took a table number placard, found a table, and waited for your food to be brought to you. Not anymore; you're shown to a table, where a server waits on you, then serves you. The Breakfast Burrito was my favorite, while my wife loved their quiche. They baked and served yummy dishes and pastries! But the restaurant changed hands, and a restaurant conglomerate from S.E. Asia bought the small chain from a local owner, and took over ownership. They changed the food service style, food specials, the ambiance, and our old favorite dishes. I know, "Change with the times!" But we're creatures of habit, good food, good service, and good ambiance, and Zinc has lost all three. We no longer go to Zinc, nor do we recommend it. We give it two stars.

To which I said, "$10 AND 2 tickets, right?." She responded by saying, "No! $10 is all I'm giving you." So I pointed to the ticket where it clearly said 2 Tickets. She then showed me the print out and said VERY rudely, "do you see what it says? It says $10 and that's all you're getting!" So I took my ticket back and told her, "ok, well then I'm going to take this somewhere else." As my Dad and I were walking to the door she said, "oh my god, you're such a fu*king bit*h." Now I understand the market is going out of business later this month and maybe they no longer care about their customers that have kept them in business for all these years, but I couldn't let this slide without saying something. This cashier had a rotten attitude from the second we walked in the door. I probably could've dealt with that and shrugged it off but being called a f'ing bit*h by her is not only grossly inappropriate, it's extremely offensive and beyond unprofessional. I will never go back in there or give a dime of my money to them again. If i could give them 0 stars, I would.
