Screw corporations. So what if it's a little pricey, I'd rather die than this place go to Bezos. Plus this place has a lovely pasta selection. Long live Fresco!! read more

Market is cute. Nice selection. The cashier I had was kind of lazy and snobbish. More concerned about chatting with a customer she knew personally than creating a pleasant experience for other customers. I will return, just hoping I have a better experience with the staff next time. read more

I really wish they would go out of business so that a cheaper, better store with a fresher produce could move in ....like Whole Foods... That's right, Whole Foods is actually cheaper than this place... Fresco is so outrageously overpriced. I can't comprehend why anyone would shop here. And their produce just looks so sad all the time probably because most people aren't willing to pay for it, even the stuff that is not organic costs more than organic produce at Whole Foods... $4.60/pound for apples = one apple for three dollars! read more

They have a guy employees working at the smoothies section his attitude is not the greatest he needs better people skills to work with customer service i went in on a week day for the the date but I do remember the time.it was 1243pm. On the month of April 2026. He has glasses and long hair. Needed a better attitude management please do better on your employees you hire the girl that works there too she has a ugly attitude just like the guy they both need to do better. Im a customer that comes in every time I have laundry day . read more

Fresco Community Market offers a wide range of groceries including fresh produce, staples such as baking goods and pasta, and a great selection of whole bean/ground coffees (the reason I happened to visit). The hours are convenient, there's free parking in the lot, and prices are reasonable. Fresco has a relaxed vibe and is a fun place to browse. Service was very friendly and helpful. Support your local indepdendent grocer and shop here. Highly recommended. read more

Fresco is an independent grocery store in the neighborhood. They carry organic, vegan, & specialty goods from small businesses in addition to major brands. Throughout the year, Fresco hosts various events to bring the community together. One of my favorites is the fall Harvest Fest. This annual affair features samples of products sold in the store in addition to wine & beverage tastings. There are also fun activities for the kids, such as pumpkin decorating, and a raffle for cool prizes. read more

A big fan of the juice bar and bakery! I also love their summer watermelons by YUMI. Its a great local community market and I think they just brought in tacos, burritos (only mon-sat 10am-3pm). read more

Just went to this market and my CHILDREN were harassed and bullied by Katherine the store manager. She was stalking us around the market and came up to us before we were about to check out and verbally harassed and threatened my children. Such horrible treatment from her, her employees and this company. Her behavior and actions are disgusting, inappropriate and unacceptable and me and my family will never shop here, we already had reasons to never come back (mold and flies all over the food) but this was crossing the line. read more

I love that this store is in the neighborhood, it's very convenient. I like that they have stuff you can't find other places. However, I find that a lot of the staff is very cold, no "thanks or have a good day". Even when I try small chat they don't even respond. I'm not asking for a lot, but Gen Z rudeness is def a thing read more

Really appreciate having this store nearby. The staff is kind and helpful. I've seen some of them around the neighborhood when they aren't working and they've been lovely. Sure, some items will cost you a bit more than usual, but it's an independent grocer. They make up for it in other ways, and there are some good finds. Pros: - Affordable fresh chicken / meats that make meals easier - Their fresh pico de gallo is *special* and affordable - Community events - Breakfast burritos - Frozen crab cakes - Beer and wine selection - Juice bar - Coffee bar Recommendations: - Wish they had the fresh tilapia/salmon more often or I knew which days it would available. - For the prepared sandwiches, I wish they got discounted later in the day. I'd probably buy them when I'm too tired/lazy to make dinner. Overall, this is a well-managed store. read more

Sometimes I feel like my being there is a nuisance to upper management, absolutely lacking in customer service that makes you feel welcome, you'd be fortunate to get even a friendly "Hello"... which is bare minimum. (Talking about you "LuckyJ") The coffee and breakfast burritos has been the main reason I frequent Fresco, but there has been a noticeable decline in the quality of both, the burritos have gotten pricier, smaller portions and again... a decline in quality. I would excuse the rise in price if both quantity and quality remained as they were in years prior. Furthermore, It seems as though the people manning the cafe don't really know or don't care about their craft. Not to mention customer service that leaves more to be desired. But alas, it's a grocery store cafe, I shouldn't expect much. I will say that the quality of the produce is exceptional. Noticeably pricier than most other places but it is worth it. The produce is of great quality and from my understanding mostly organic and come from smaller non industrial farms. The people in this dept are friendly and knowledgeable. The ambiance is rather fine, not much complaint in that department, everything is in its place and well organized. I continue to shop here merely out of convenience. read more

But why is everything so expensive? Also, how is this place minority women owned and "accessible to the community" when only the recent transplants of El Sereno/HLP/Hermon shop here? Let's be real, it's accessible to the hipsters who've all moved here cause ain't none of my family, that have been living here for decades, everrr come in here to shop. I suppose the price tag is mostly for exclusivity. I do want to shout out Mr Juan, he hustled to assist me. He was the only employee that was friendly and helpful and made my experience here worth of at least a couple of stars. Parking lot was dead. Inside was dead. Employees have no life to them. read more

This place is clean and organized. I want to like it but it is overpriced. Customer service was pretty weak. An item was not ringing up the price that it was supposed to be and rather than that cashier offer to go check it out, they tried to explain that the price was right. I had to offer to go back and take a photo of the price and bring it back. In the end they did honor the price that was posted. Overall this place is lackluster. I think there's a reason why this place is not busy. read more

The juice bar in the middle of the store was my doctor for a whole year when all the stores got raided during Covid this little gem stayed stocked I could shed at tear, loyalty. read more

Love this market. Wonderful baked goods & an area to sit & enjoy with coffee. Great produce & meats as well as more unique products. Friendly staff. Good vibes. read more

My local grocer - where my parents and I do our last minute shopping trips because of the convenience and quality. While a little pricey (like, Erewhon+ price range), the gourmet items are indeed very well curated, and there are a few items that will always be my go-to's, such as their fresh-squeezed fruit juice (pineapple juice to die for), and charcuterie selections. For instance, this is where I discovered Torres truffle potato chips, a new snack favorite. Also, a quiet little adjoining cafe to charge devices and work at. read more

This place has the most rude employees I've ever seen. Mainly the cashiers. I've been to this store multiple times and every cashiers is completely rude, unpleasant and just looks lole theu despise being there. Even when you try to smile and be polite with them, theh give you a dirty look. Not to mention they're always on their phones. This market has the worst customer service by far read more

This is a cute little supermarket with the standard necessities but also some worldy foods as well. Gourmet breads and snacks and food are available as well. The staff is always super helpful and welcoming. My only suggestion is that they are a little more cleanly and maybe make the right side of the store more welcoming and bright when you come in. The whole store seems "forgotten" right when you walk in. Love their 3 pepper sausages and the jalapeño bacon and cheddar. Give them a try! read more

I come here out of convenience. It's minutes away from my home. 3 star review is not because of the stores terrible layout, or its ridiculous prices. It gets 3 stars because every time I walk in there security and upper management looks at me like I have a purple monkey on my back. Maybe they think I'm there to steal? Maybe they have me confused with another person. You'd think by now they'd recognize me as the guy who comes in 1-2 times a week, for the past 2 years, and spends 80 dollars at a time on sparkling water lmao. But literally almost every time, security and management eyeballs the life out of me. Flattering sometimes, most of the time it's annoying. Spend too much money there to be bothered by people who don't know better. read more

Fresco sometimes doesn't even seem like they try. In the 5 years I have lived up the hill, I couldn't even count the amount of times we brought home spoiled or expired food. We tried speaking to the manager. Not that manager. The dude who runs the show. He's a coward. Never returning calls and having his minions speak for him. Frescos new slogan. "Here. You throw this out." read more

This place is super convenient for a quick booze or snack pickup, but I wouldn't do my normal shopping here. Prices are high and selection is lacking. Also the sandwiches they have at their deli are just ok for the $9 price tag. Affordable but lackluster. read more

I shop here almost daily. The management and staff is always awesome, they have a great selection even for vegans and vegetarians and its an overall pleasant experience. My only gripe is the prices are a bit high, but if you want to avoid those stores filled with cheap processed junk food then this is a great place. read more

Great neighborhood market, it can get pricey but they also have reasonably priced items. People complaining that it's expensive because of "exclusivity" probably have never run a grocery store before. This location has historically been impossible for other grocery stores to stay afloat, they all close down and were generally cheaper ranch style markets. The nice thing about this store is it is very well curated, and super convenient for those of us in Monterey Hills or Highland Park. They even have a great little café that is average price. I definitely do not shop here all the time, but its the perfect market to have a bottom of the hill. read more

I can always rely on this market to have what I need, especially when I forget or run out of ingredients for cooking! Everything is well organized and the staff is always friendly. They are slightly on the pricier side, but the produce can sometimes be cheaper than the major groceries. Plus side is that they are always fresh! I don't mind spending a little more considering the quality and the convenience of their location. read more

Great, local store. If they don't have something you want, TELL THEM! They want the neighborhood to be happy w/ them.

For such a cute community market that i love (and it's exactly what i wanted to find in the area), it has some of the worst service i've ever experienced. for the prices ppl are paying there, and the whole community vibe, the workers are most of the time cold, rude, and flat out ignores or act like you're not there. The only reason there are still 3 stars is cuz of how great the market itself is and the 40% of the time when the workers have been normal/nice. Good for vegan options. read more

This is my first review of a grocery store, and I really love this place. It is almost never crowded, there is easy parking, and it's a community space. It even has a free lending library in the cafe. Fresco's also carries a lot of items that you can't find in other grocery stores - they have a great selection of meatless sausages, which I constantly get. Also, in the bakery, they fresh-baked olive bread (and wheat bread, but the olive bread is more exciting) and Lofthouse chocolate chip cookies, which are seriously addictive. The biggest downside to this market is how expensive everything is. Expect to pay up to 2-3 times more than other places (especially if your other place is...uh...Food 4 Less). But the food is quality, so I'm ok with this. They also have a smaller selection of stuff than big chain grocery stores. read more

I used to shop here pretty often because of all the fresh produce and vegetarian options the store has. As of lately, the produce is more often than not MOLDY when I'm looking in the store. I usually go in after work and there's no one but 2 cashiers and a manager. Who is supposed to help out the customers? I thought it was a community market? It seems abandoned at nights. I'd suggest getting your veggies elsewhere. read more

Great service and they always have ample free parking. Quality local products in addition to produce, meats, diary, frozen food, snacks, and all kinds of drinks from wine to matcha green tea to cbd infused beverages! read more

Unique grocery store, so many options, as well as an international section. It's one of my favorite smoothies spots, & the juices are freshly squeeze/prepared by the store; including the ones stocked in the fridge, standing right next to it. Barista server Kelly gave me some great recommendations & if you stop by, Strawberry shortcake smoothie is so good! Love it! Also tried their Fresco Sensation & that one was a great alternative option to one of my other favorites. Their Facebook has a ad that features a smoothie every week along with grocery deals. Indoor & outdoor seating are available. Opens really early which is actually pretty convenient and closes late. Instacart delivery options available for groceries. read more

I love supporting small community and local markets. I don't know what happened to this market but lately the service has gone downhill. There is a line and the a cashier lady just casually walks in to register and just stands there while the other register line is considerably a longer line. She doesn't have anybody in her line and she won't invite others over and there's no way to tell you if that registers if that line is even open or not. She just stands there doing nothing then walks off again to front the food on the shelf and never says to other in line to come over. Wow, I get better service at Walmart. I'm not gonna drive out of my way to pay high prices for crappy service like this. No greeting, no, thank you nothing!! I'd rather go to a big box store and scan the food myself read more

lived in hermon for 20 years and this place has been such a good addition! it's giving sprouts/whole foods pricing and vibes , so a little on the pricier side but you can find some good low cost items. if you're in desperate need then this place can do the job, but i wouldn't recommend shopping for groceries here all the time unless you have it like that ($$$)! my fav part about fresco is the juice bar!! sometimes employees don't seem too thrilled about their job which is a little sad bc it seems so enjoyable! ofc, they deal with people all day and im sure sometimes they get affected but it just seems like everytime i come in they're unhappy, so i hope the store can do some things better for them to feel better working. other than that, they have a lot of options for people with preferences and different nutritional needs ! read more
