    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.

    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.

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

    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.

The staff who assisted with seating and bringing silverware were also friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, our dining experience declined once our order was taken. We ordered the Beets Salad as our starter, followed by the Chicken Piccata and Salmon as our entrées. The salad arrived within about five minutes, but we then waited nearly 40 minutes for our main courses without any acknowledgment or update. When I asked our waitress about the delay, her only response was, "Your order was fired 15 minutes ago." When I asked why it had taken so long, she simply repeated the same statement. At no point did she offer a sincere apology or show any empathy for the extended wait. As someone who has owned and managed businesses, I know that delays can happen. However, a simple apology and proactive communication can make all the difference in how guests perceive the experience. The food itself was excellent, and both entrées were well prepared. Unfortunately, the service continued to disappoint. After we finished our meals, our waitress immediately cleared our plates and brought the check without asking whether we would like dessert, coffee, or anything else to finish our evening. That was surprising and made us feel rushed. I rarely leave negative reviews because I understand that every business can have an off night. In this case, however, the issue was not the kitchen delay--it was the lack of communication, empathy, and basic hospitality. Had our waitress simply apologized, kept us informed, or involved a manager, this review likely would not have been necessary. I hope management views this as constructive feedback. Andrea and several other staff members represented the restaurant exceptionally well, but I believe additional customer service training would help ensure that situations like this are handled with greater professionalism and care in the future.

I've been shopping at this location for about a year and have been a customer of Northgate Markets for several years. Unfortunately, my experiences at this location have become increasingly disappointing. I've encountered raw chicken left on the shelf two or more days past its expiration date, fresh fruit and salsa still being sold after their use-by dates, and produce that was visibly rotten and infested with bugs. These aren't minor issues when it comes to a grocery store--they're basic food-safety and quality concerns. And then there's the customer service. Today, there wasn't a friendly employee in sight, and the customers weren't much better. I'd especially like to thank the grumpy woman on the scooter who apparently tried to run me down three separate times. I assume you were having a bad day, but judging by the atmosphere in this store, it seems like everyone is having a bad day, every day. No one smiles. No one acknowledges customers. No one seems remotely interested in providing even basic courtesy. I understand that people have bad days--I really do--but when the entire experience consistently feels cold, hostile, and unwelcoming, it becomes a pattern rather than an isolated bad day. The cashier couldn't be bothered to say hello back or even make the slightest attempt at being friendly, and the young man bagging my groceries was just as dismissive. I've spent years shopping with Northgate Markets, which makes this especially disappointing. Customers shouldn't walk into a store and feel like they're an inconvenience for simply being there. Today was the final straw for me. There are plenty of other places willing to take my money while treating me--and other customers--with basic courtesy and respect.

Since I like partaking in sweets while traveling, I decided to go in and check this place out. BC is a decent size for a candy shop; the merch is scattered throughout the floor and they stock a mix of loose generic candy you can buy in bags or bulk, and branded confections. The focal point is the center counter that houses chocolates and a few other selections. The stock was a little sparse if I'm being honest; I'm used to really showy candy shops along the shore with a vast variety of merchandise, but I didn't find that here. I decided to pick up some Australian licorice and some of their jumbo peanut butter cups. I'm familiar with the brand of licorice, but as far as the chocolate it was quite good - the cup was stuffed generously with peanut butter. It was also very smooth which gave it a good mouthfeel. Service was friendly, but overall I didn't think Balboa Candy was anything too noteworthy. Good as a standard candy store, but I've been to better ones.
