Having a vacation home on the eastern side of Lake Arrowhead, I've passed by this Jensen's many…read moretimes on my way through Blue Jay but hadn't visited until this weekend. I was shocked at the actual square footage of this store as it looks much smaller from the street. Additionally, I never noticed they have a Starbucks within. Initially I only intended to stop in for a meager bag of tortilla chips, but I soon found myself walking other aisles just to peruse the variety of goods available. There's a full-service bakery with an impressive display case near the entrance (adjacent to the Starbucks), and the steaks at the meat counter were equally attractive. The deli section was doing a good business with several people in line for sandwiches, and I noticed a hot soup station, as well. I hate shopping at Lake Arrowhead village on weekends due to the traffic and, though this Jensens was doing a very brisk business, the ease of parking is so much better. I have been relying on the little market in Cedar Glen (a former Jensens, ironically) for emergency "basics, " but it's nice to know there is a larger, better-stocked, option available a short five miles distant.

Came in clutch! I…read morewanted to grab a couple more things for Thanksgiving Day. Jensen's was open the evening before. I grabbed a fruit tray, some salad bags, cheese, and cleaning solution. Grabbed everything I was looking for. The store is organized and easy to navigate. The cashier was very friendly and helpful. Ambiance was not too crowded, and it was clean.

I've passed this store several times and finally stopped to check it out. I was hoping to get a…read more'grab n go' sandwich, but they mostly had shelf stable foods, a small selection of fruit and it looked like they had a good selection of basic camping essentials too. I decided to buy a bag of chips. Then I saw beautifully packaged baklava at the cash register counter. I bought the big gold box full of baklava. Oh wow...just like another reviewer said, these are the BEST baklava I've ever had! These are packaged so nicely, they would make a nice gift too. (Note: The attached picture doesn't include all the baklava that was in the box, because I had already eaten two before I took this picture.)

My best friend, kids and I went to Crestline last weekend and with the weather being as insane as…read moreit was we scrapped our lofty plans of dining out and instead planned on keeping the kids in with my best friend while I braved the weather to get us food we could cook in our air b&b kitchen while we waited for the rain and fog to lift. The closest grocery store was mountain high market and though I was grateful not to have to drive to Lake Arrowhead and back I was disappointed in the high prices and mostly canned and frozen food. Despite the lack of choices, the service here was AMAZING which I have never seen at a grocery store. The couple who ran it offered homemade baklava (which was literally the best I've ever had) and even helped me take my bags to my car IN THE RAIN! Talk about going above and beyond! Also even though the prices were high and the food selection was small it was the best option in the area and the $180 spent on groceries paid for 4 meals plus snacks for 5 people which was a much better alternative than going out for every meal.

Time to say 'Good-Bye' to G.O. in Blue Jay. Buyers Beware!!!…read more The expiration dates are usually not that far off from expiring, if not already expired. The final straw was finding my 3 containers of humus all had mold in them. YUCKO!!! I returned them, with receipt in hand but with no apology from the clerk. In fact, I seemed like more of a nuisance to bother her with returning it. I will sum G.O. store being much like a 'Dollar Tree' but in grocery form. Back to Staters Bros., where at least it's ALWAYS fresh!

If you are one to the people that have complained about the wait, when you drop off your prescription, simply ask the staff when the best time to return is. Or telephone them before leaving the house. Or check into the home delivery option I am always greeted with a smile, perhaps it's because I walk through the doors with a positive attitude. Last keep in mind, this store services from Green Valley Lake to Crestline - a huge population for one store. Great job guys! I'm impressed Sheryl Owen - Lake Arrowhead

I've used this Rite-Aid for a couple of years, usually without incident. Recently, the treatment…read morewe received was so abhorrent that we are moving all of our prescriptions elsewhere. Here's what happened: My girlfriend was filling a prescription for a controlled sleep med. She went at noon and was told come back after 3pm. We called at 3pm and were told to come back at 4:45 (They close the Pharmacy at 5pm on Sunday). When we arrived they told us the system was down and they were not able to give us the prescription....which my girlfriend NEEDS to sleep. It was at this point I realized the system was down all day, and instead of informing us so we could transfer the prescription they covered the issue up. Had they divulged the real situation we could have transferred the prescription. The pharmacy tech told us the best she could do was tomorrow morning...for a sleep med. There was exactly ZERO concern, empathy, or effort to solve this problem on her part. When I called the next morning we were told try to again in the afternoon (system obviously still down). PS: The only reason this review is 2 stars and not 1, is I don't take 1 star reviews seriously. I can see why Rite-Aid Corporation had to file bankruptcy.

If you venture down the lake's main thoroughfare toward the new concert venue, you'll find the…read moreVillage Ice Cream & Sweet Shoppe as the last business on the left. With some outside tables offering scenic views of the lake, this is a great spot to take a rest from browsing and grab an ice cream cone, cold drink, specialty coffee, or sugary treat. The shop offers Thrifty Ice cream in assorted flavors, cone choices ranging from simple sugar to freshly-made, warm waffle cones for cradling your scoops, and a variety of additional crowd pleasing snacks such as churros, baked goods, specialty lattes, Dole Whip, soft serve, and other edible treasues too numerous to mention. Price wise, their offerings are a bit on the higher side - I paid around $10 for a large chocolate malt (shakes are cheaper) - but you will probably encounter a small, quickly-moving line upon entry. And though ice cream can be found at other village businesses, indeed, there are some confections that are unique to this site. Our server (apparently only one on a weekday afternoon) was pleasant and efficient, rapidly filling orders and fielding any questions as she moved to and fro translating the pictured menu offerings into the equally-tempting tangible goodies that excited patrons scurry away holding. It's hard to resist this little spot as you peruse the shops along the esplanade - and what's better than strolling around that walkway bend to the lakefront businesses with a refreshing treat in hand? I'm sure you'll find something that catches your eye and, subsequently, dazzles your tastebuds.
