Cappy's is a great place to get local produce at fair prices. Staff is always friendly and your dollars definitely go farther than a chain grocery store. read more

All kinds of produce and meats can be found at Cappy's! Of course as the name implies produce is what this small grocery store is geared towards and it's at fairly reasonable prices. In addition to meat and produce the store also seems to specialize with ingredients for dishes from Mexico and you can find some very enticing little snacks from Mexico there as well! One thing that seriously sticks in my mind with Cappy's is their Pico De Gallo and how good it is! You can't always get it there as I found out to my misfortune but if you can I'd definitely grab it up! read more

Longtime customer, I suspect there has been a radical change. The interior is rearranged and there's a new aisle of cleaning products. The entire bin of red peppers had large rotten spots. The curly Italian parsley was yellowing, every bunch. Their parking lot was always a challenge to get in and out of, but now the narrow entrance is further congested with a DJ and vendors. read more

I shop here when I'm in the area. Great selection of vegetables and produce in a spot that seems more like a farm stand than grocery. The prices are unbeatable. I love the unpretentious displays and selection of produce. Everything is at the lowest price you can find anywhere. Lots of choices for those difficult to find Hispanic groceries. If you're thrifty and have freezer space every once in a while there will be bagged produce at clearance price. A 2 pound bag of broccoli florets for 99 cents. Sort through it. Freeze what won't be used right away. The bags of tomatoes are a tremendous bargain. You will need to sort through the ones that are about to turn but there will be far more excellent tomatoes to cook with and so cheap. read more

I used to live near this produce market and shopped there occasionally. The prices overall are very good "But" you need to be very choosy on the items you want because the majority of produce is second rate (or past their ripeness to the point of no flavor left!) read more

This is a hidden gem on the Eastside. I can't believe that I haven't posted pictures or reviewed this place. The prices are the best!! The staff are wonderful & helpful. There's an area of specials be sure to always check ! Purchased a bag of Roma Tomatoes for $2.99 & more. It might be a more than you need, but you can always share. A new feature is a meat section! Great cuts & selection. There's fresh pico, salsa & guacamole Some great Latino products for your needs. Candies, breads & more!! Be careful when leaving, especially if you are turning left on 72nd St due to traffic! You can always turn right & turn at the light. Enjoy !!! and always check back~ read more

Hmmm. My experience at Cappy's has been nothing but pleasant. Here we go. Bullet Point Review: *friendly staff *great price *nice selection *produce stand cleanliness This no frills but great deals produce stand is a really nice shop to have in this area. I have been coming back here multiple times and it has always been very good. Highly recommended. read more

See all

Love coming here for fresh produce. My first time buying something other than fresh produce and this is what I get. Mold! Cravings.. not fixed! read more

I agree with the poster that you should probably eat the produce sooner rather than later but I've NEVER had a problem with the staff. Honestly they're so cheap that I'd probably put up with a little sass to get the deals they have here. Cappy (or who I presume is Cappy) always goes out of his way to greet me and I love the oldies playing, reminds me of childhood and getting back to basics, no big box stores etc! read more

So I bought strawberries and corn on the cob sunday. Brought it home and put in frig for dinner Monday night. Opened the berries Monday night and they were beyond rotten. They stunk. The corn was no better. Returned to cappys the next day. Cashier was rude because I didn't have a receipt. She reluctantly dug $4.20 from the till and told me I shop at SAFEWAY. How un professional. Will not return there anytime in the near future. read more

Love to find and visit small, local fruit/produce stands and this is one to see. Good location, a pretty vast variety and the quality is superior compared to some of the others around this area. What's even better is the pricing as well!!! Oh and the hours are great too, especially summer hours, 9pm:) I can always stop by on a late night at work and get what I want and need and it's so nice to not have to cash out on produce and know that I am also supporting local farmers. The staff here is also always really friendly. read more

Cappy's Produce - Grocery Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

We love going here for produce. Not only is it a great local business but it is also astoundingly cheap and quick.

While the prices & quality of options are great, the rude staff (girls at registers) leaves a lot to be desired. Customer service is key. read more

I wanna thank the owners for opening this wonderful produce store for us on the Eastside of Tacoma. We lucky to have them in our neighborhood ! The own are extremely helpful and their employees are very customer service friendly I shop there at least once a week bravo Cappys! read more

We love this place... Yes you have to use what you buy quickly but they have such great prices and the people who frequent the place are so polite and most are as knowledgeable as the staff that works at the place. I just wish we lived closer or they'd open one up our house now. read more

I just went there to pick up a few last minute items for my Jambalaya. The produce is way cheaper than a regular grocery store. It was clean and well layed out. I will be coming back here for my fruit and vegetables for now on. read more

I always come in Cappy's Produce Tacoma as it is very close from my house , cheap and friendly staff except for this not so friendly staff named Martha. She doesn't have customer service I already apologized and told her that next time I come in I'll line up in the proper spot (me as a customer) for lining up in the wrong spot but she kept saying things to me so I said 'do you want me to pay or just walk out '? I for one is working as a supervisor dealing with a lot of customers, I know when to say things or when to stop but she kept on and on I just don't want to stop coming to one of my favorite produce store just because of one staff that kept arguing with customer Remember customer service is the key which obviously this Martha don't have I swear if I go back in that store and she does it again I will personally talk to the owner about how she handles customers No matter how wrong customers are there's always a way in talking or explaining things specially if the customer already apologized right away read more

Much cleaner than most discount produce businesses. Warm and quick service. For an idea of the pricing here is what I bought today. 1 head of red leaf lettuce, 3 avocados, 1 red bell pepper, 2 tomatoes for $4.28 read more

I love this place! The produce is fresh, varied, and cheap! And holy cats, they had 20 lb cabbage heads! It's the best place to get Honeycrisp apples that don't require a payment plan (69c/lb last time) and they have local Puyallup produce when it's in season! The corn? Forget about it. Best corn that you don't grow yourself. The staff is friendly and helpful and they play some awesome music from the 40's sometimes. Nothing like some Glenn Miller and Andrews Sisters to make you load up your cart with an extra nectarine or two! This has become my place for veggies and fruit! I'm there at least a couple-three times a week and pick up things for family as far away as Mercer Island and Everett from time to time. Now, if they could open that chain link gate that keeps me from getting there directly from the K-Mart, Big Lots, and Burger King parking lot, I'd be golden. Turning left into their lot off 72nd can be a pain and possibly dangerous as you have to cut into the turn lane for the park and ride. I'm guessing that's not their call, though. I'll never buy produce at the chain groceries again! read more

This review has two parts. I didn't give them one star because it's actually a pretty decent produce stand. They carry a ton of awesome things, especially if you want to make Mexican food. Often I find the produce is VERY RIPE, which means I shop for a day or two because it doesn't last very long being stored. The second part is a comment on their customer service. I have been here many times and received mediocre service. The employees are not super friendly, and sometimes act very put out because I am interrupting their time on their phone to ring me up. They have a minimum charge on credit and debit cards which they are unwilling to waive. I checked out today and during the check out realized I forgot something. When I tried to pay for the second order (which of course was under the minimum) the employee looked at me flatly and told me, "We have a $5 minimum." I told her I didn't have any cash and needed the item I was buying and she said again, "Well, we have a $5 minimum. " I asked what I am supposed to do and she replied, "I guess you can pay the 50 cent fee." Which I did, and I understand for small businesses the fees can add up quickly, but perhaps a little bit less attitude and some kindness would have made me less angry. She was so exasperated the entire time and her attitude made me never want to go back, which I probably won't. It's a shame, really. read more

I LOVE Cappy's! It is the first place I go shopping for fruits and veggies and with a strict gluten free diet, Cappy's offers me food I can eat without breaking the bank. I shop here year round, I love the variety and anyone that says the staff is anything but very friendly is likely the problem. They have always been extremely kind and helpful, letting me taste fruits I had never heard of and telling me how to cook jicama. Sometimes you may have to pick a few bad pieces out, but a few strawberries out of a $5 flat is well worth it. I can fill my cart with fresh fruits and veggies for $60, nowhere else in town is this possible. They also accept EBT and have a meat section now! read more

I read a lot of great reviews but this was not that. All the tomatoes were squishy, bruised, n scared not good eats. Everything else was just bruised n nat infested. read more

First off let me just say that when I went here that this place was SO DIRTY!!!! And a lot of the food was rotting and some things were even moldy!!! I went to the meat section and the meat was not even edible it looked gray and green! Totally never coming back here again!! read more

I am giving it 2 stars because of the variety. However, I found it to be a tad expensive and most of the fruit i bought was very hard. I know a lot of items are not in season, but I have shopped at Valley Produce off River Road maaaany times and the fruit is ripe and fresh, as well as affordable. I only stopped there because I was in the area. If I would have known what I know now, I would have saved my money and went to Valley when I could. The staff was very friendly though! read more

The Best Find! Every time we go to Cappy's, the staff is so friendly, caring and helpful. We purchased a box of tomatoes and a box of apples and every one in each box was perfect. The prices are reasonable with a great selection. It is a bit out of our way but well worth the drive there! read more

Cheap company charges extra fees for simply using your credit card. What a ripoff ..... ......

Nice place for fresh produce. There is always something for everyone. Great hours, convenient location, good parking, low prices... whataya want? I can stop in, find some inspiration for dinner and poof..I'm out. The prices on dairy and other grocery items is a little high (that explains only 4 stars) but, it IS a produce shop. So...what the hey? All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I shop there 2-3 times a week. read more

This is my "go-to" store ! It doesn't have a bad smell like some other local stores might have witch for me is a Major Plus & All the employees are friendly & that makes it more pleasant coming here. I usually go for the veggies that are not already in the paper bags because they're fresher. Their new meat section is amazing with their prices & how fresh their meat products are. & to top this off I just love supporting local stores read more

Great little place to go and not spend a lot. They often have better then great deals so stop in and take a look . I have had issues with avocados here the ones I have purchased from here have been bad :( but everything else is great. I don't recommend buying a lot of produce at one time because the fruit is at its peak. They get great deals and oh boy they pass them on to us. The produce that is at deep discounts should be used with in 3 days. If you can foods this place is lovely and should be visited often. read more

First time at Cappy's even though I've been trying to go for years. Definitely glad I went.... Prices are amazing and the produce was fresh... Well all except the bell peppers I had to pick thru them a little. Looks like I found my new produce place... No more chain grocery stores for me! The only thing that could make it better would be opening the gate that separates Cappy's from the Big Lots/Kmart parking lot... Turning left off of 72nd is not fun. In fact I've literally decided not to go at first just because it wasn't worth the hassle. I'm glad I finally made it I though read more

This place has great prices and freshness, selection is awesome too. Love the dried spices.

I stop here regularly for fresh produce. My experience has been consistent freshness and prices about 1/3rd of the Safeway up the street. Friendly folks and it is worth the extra stop for good veggies read more

Cute little produce shop! Driving by decided to stop in, if I'm out in the area again I will be stopping back by!

5 star service. Got some bad melons and they are super accomodating to make it right!

Cappy's Produce has the best quality and value that I've seen, and I've been shopping longer than I care to think about. The produce is very reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and always willing to answer your questions and assist. They're eager to assist. These folk understand "customer care" and work at giving the customer (me) a feeling that their business is welcome, wanted and appreciated. Their staff is friendly, courteous, and always willing to help. They carry my purchases to my car without me asking. I buy all my produce at Cappy's, and aside from saving a good deal of money, I like going there. Five Stars, yes. I'd give more stars if they were available. J. C. B. read more

EXCELLENT source for reasonable first rate fruits and vegetables, just the best, and more than reasonable prices. I walked out with 4 bags of produce for $14. 2 kinds of apples, oranges, asparagus, sweet onion, cucumbers, lemons and limes, mushrooms,broccoli, cauliflower strawberries and more. They have lots of different offerings also, big cactus and aloe leaves, and lots of different spices. I live downtown Puyallup so easy to get to, just less than 10 minutes and worth 5 times the drive to me. read more

We found Cappy's similar to old time grocery in the small town.. The produce is superb.. The family atmosphere is EXCEPTIONAL.. They carry out for you too. My wife loves this place. Our 6 donkeys, the pony and Wilbur are very happy too with the left overs. If they could talk they would rave about Cappy's The checkout experience is awesome .. After the Betty Crocker Cake mix Checkout at the average grocery store. They can still add and subtract in their head instead of some hand held GIZMO... TRY THEM YOU LOVE THEM. read more

This place is great. They have a huge selection of FRESH produce. Not the type you buy then have to use within 24 hours or it goes bad. They work hard to keep it clean, organized and well stocked. The prices are at least 50% cheaper then the grocery store and the staff is always asking how your days going and or if you need help finding anything. After my first visit I knew I'd never buy old produce from Safeway at double the price again. Im so glad its just down the street from house because I find myself going there all the time. They also have a great little "Mexican candy" section my daughter goes crazy for. Cappy's excepts food stamps, cash and debit/credit cards. With the credit/debit cards they ask that you spend at least $5 to offset the fees for running the card. Their prices are so low I sometimes find myself having to go back and grab something else to reach the $5 but I see this as a bonus not a drawback. Your always getting double the produce for the price of anywhere else. read more

I love Cappy's! What I like most is the affordability - without having to buy 10 lbs. They also have a great variety. Sometimes their fruit is a little overly ripe, so just pick carefully, but everything I've bought there has been delicious! And the staff is so nice, especially the owners who are pretty much always there. They always insist on helping you get your groceries to your car if you have a kid in tow! read more

This is the place for produce. Jim the owner is the man to talk to. Great produce at great prices. This is the only place I shop any more.
