    Can you say urban cool? Maybe even hipster. Utilitarian. Yes, I am talking a grocery store! Fork Lift. Brought to you by the family-owned, upscale and very successful, Nugget chain of grocery stores. I became very well acquainted with the Nugget markets living in Davis. There were two stores not far from each other and they were always packed. I shopped at the smaller one as it was closer to my home. It is literally the only place I ever shopped for food.I cannot imagine shopping anywhere else. When I moved to El Dorado Hills 5 years ago... thank goodness there was a big and beautiful Nugget a mile and half away. My point is all Nugget markets are quite incredible. Nothing compares to them. Excellent quality, in-house prepared food, bakery... TDF, floral, meat department, liquor, and fabulous fresh produce section. Fork Lift is to me like the Nugget markets on steroids! I was astonished at the size of the store and cool inside architectural design. Yes it is hip! Super clean, well stocked in everything. Organized. Quite impressive. And the same great departments as I mentioned above that are available in the Nugget stores are right here too! The chatter is that the Fork Lift offers many discounted prices but honestly, I never see them. Then I heard the lower priced items are strategically placed in and around the store. Who knows. I enjoy taking the drive up the hill to Cameron Park occasionally just to wander around and marvel at this shopping mecca! Easy exit off the freeway and fast to find. Plenty of parking. Worth checking out if you are in the area or on the way to or returning from Tahoe. Did I mention super duper customer service!?! And weekly specials! Geez... a girl cannot remember everything.:) Here is to good eating!

    Thank goodness.  They have arrived.

    Great store out here past the big city's. Very organized and the layout is easy to manage and navigate!! They have a very good assortment of brews to try and adult beverages as well. In particular a whiskey that I have been looking for as well. (See pics). The staff was very helpful and check out was really fast. Definitely will be back again!!!

    Still luvin grocery shopping here. The produce is super fresh. The groceries brands and quantities are well stocked. The pricing is reasonable. The staff is welcoming and helpful. The interior design and look is clean and modern making it even a more enjoyable experience. The organic produce selection is significant compared to most other grocery stores. Plus the pricing on the organic produce is not outrageous. Forklift is super close off Highway 50 in Cameron Park, CA. Pretty easy to get to.

    Gorgeous housewares display

The customer service is just consistently good, and it makes the whole shopping experience feel different. I also want to give a specific shoutout to Theo. I think he was hired pretty recently, but he's already one of my favorite people there. He has this hilarious, old-timey sense of humor that makes checking out way more fun than it has any right to be. Not curmudgeonly at all. Just quirky, dry, and genuinely funny. I find myself going to his line whenever I see him because I know I'm going to leave laughing. More people should talk about how great the staff is here. Theo is awesome, and he's a perfect example of why I keep coming back.

In the rare occasions when I'm not able to find something I wanted, it's because it's something so obscure I wind up having to either ordering it online or making a trip to some hidden specialty store in the Bay Area to get it. I've been shopping here for a couple of years. There's another grocery store that's five minutes from my house, but I drive the 20 minutes to shop here because the overall experience is so much better. Today's trip really stood out to me because of a couple things... while I was at the deli waiting for the clerk to work on my order, at least three other employees came up to me and asked if I was being helped. I've been to other stores where I've stood at a counter for literally 5 minutes, watching employees going out of their way to not acknowledge me. That never happens here. Then I was really taken aback by how the peppers and mushrooms were displayed. The fact that whoever stocked these mushrooms took the time to turn every mushroom cap side up and arranged all the portobellos the way they are speaks to a dedication to quality work. You can tell that in this store, nobody half-asses anything, and the employees take pride in what they do.

I like that it is serve yourself and even the samples you can serve yourself which is very nice. I was glad I could because it changed what I bought. It is pricy! One size cup and it is large. I filled mine only about 1/4-1/3 full and it came to $6.14! Yikes! As much as I really did like the cold brew flavor, I think I would rather go buy a 1.5 quart of Dreyers (for less $) at the grocery store and have it multiple times.

My experience tonight was bad! My bride and I are returning from a trip from the Bay Area and I needed to stop to pick up a few items. First, I go to the Dairy section to purchase 2% Protein milk. I simply cannot find it but a courtesy clerk was putting away some items so I asked if they carried Protein milk. He looked and then he stated we don't carry it and "what we have is what we have!" Then he walked off and I was standing there! I looked further and found the milk. After picking up a few more items I get into the check out counter. The checker does not say hello nor does she engage me because the entire time she is frustrated that the clerk in the next counter is not coming over to give her a break because she is helping another customer! This has happened more often than I want to share about the service here! I think from here on out I am shopping at Bel Air across the street!
