She actually said they would check the lid before packaging! For my "trouble" they would send some additional items.

Today…read moreI was doing my monthly Rosie Bunny Bean run, hadn't had my morning kombucha and decided to stop in. I was promptly greeted by Marcy - she's amazing btw! I asked her how things worked and she explained it all. The kefir/kombucha bottles are $4 for 16 oz and they have 3 of each on tap. I asked Marcy about one before realizing everything had a QR code and you can easily pull up the ingredients and descriptions/directions for each item. I'm getting away from plastics and this place scratches me right where I itch! They sell just about anything you can imagine! I was so impressed w the selection! They even have produce and fresh sourdough bread! The day old is 50% off and I'm so mad I was in a pinch and had to buy store bought bread, otherwise I would've tried it today. I can't say enough. Even the music was fire and I was shazaming and jamming. Shower gels, body care, non seed oils, baking mixes, laundry pods and things you see in bulk at like Sprouts, but the quality and sourcing seems to be better. Some items don't need jars and they sell paper bags for .10 each. I did a kombucha/kefir tasting. Marcy brought these steel bowls over. No waste at all! If you drink the POG kefir soda at Erewhon and love it, try it here! It's made w fruit and is noticeably better! And POG there is my fave. Just try it at Re_!!! So when I was checking out I asked Marcy about being more prepared and bringing my own glasses next time. They've thought of everything!!!! There's iPads and scales in the front of the store. They weigh your empty containers and give you a sticker with the tare weight and then subtract it from the weight at the end! Revolutionary! They add 3% for the employees. I should've added more. Marcy was amazing and worth it. I'm honestly not big on tipping everyone for just breathing but if all the employees are like Marcy, they are worth way more than 3%! If you sign up you get 100 points instantly, $1 = 1 pt, and at 200 pts you get $10! It's not hard to spend in places like this but it's beyond worth it. I keep seeing things about the harms of plastic and don't get me started on all the other crap in our food. I foresee this as a new staple in my diet and home. They even have cleaning products! I'm getting my spices here from now on too! I'm a fan and I'll be back! Thank you Marcy and to the owners that had this amazing idea!

4/5/26 Happy Easter, last minute shopping, as always…read more We steer clear off the Alhambra location due to high traffic areas, this is more amenable. My purpose was to find fresh organic corn to make spring/summer salad, but alas, none here. I inquired from this kindly gentleman who looked & (not his dept.) asked the staff in the back. He did direct me to the packaged corn on the cob, at this point, I have no choice and I was not about to go to another store to find one. Picked up a couple of tomato packages, cucumbers, some avocados and a balsamic dressing. And off I went. There were no self check outs here. The cashier & bagger were both helpful & cordial. Prices are at par with Ralph's, Albertsons or Vons. Parking is plentiful. I did not venture out into the other departments other than the pictures that I have posted here just to get a lay of the land. Will likely return to shop here. It's clean, well organized & somewhat stocked (no fresh corn on the cob!). I understand that the supply chain can be fickle. Good overall experience.

I never thought I'd write a review about a grocery store but I felt obligated to do so after having…read moreso many positive and wonderful experiences with the staff. I've seen the staff drop everything to ask customers how they're doing, the cashiers always give stickers to babies and kids and I personally have experienced a manager going above and beyond to make sure that I left the store happy and satisfied. My personal thoughts outside the stellar service: great location, never too busy, parking is solid and I know if there's something wrong with something I bought I know the customer service will go out of their way to make sure they can make it right. What more can you ask for from a grocery store?

I have many memories as a kid wandering around the location over in Chinatown, and the fact that it no longer exists still baffles me. While there is more competition these days from other smaller emporiums and supermarkets, it is still worth coming in for the ease of shopping for Chinese herbs, teas, snacks, tableware, and kitchen appliances. Background music selection mixes between English and Chinese songs, much like how the ladies speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and English well and provide a wealth of knowledge in figuring what herbs you'll need depending on the soup. I had in mind to make a soup for hot summer heat, which included northern/southern almonds, dried figs, lotus seeds, honey dates, huai shan, and luo han guo. Everything was there conveniently pre-packaged or sold by weight. Comparing the prices with the few over in 99 Ranch, I noticed the prices here are cheaper and more plentiful.
