I regularly shop at Lucky because it's close to my home and it's always a pleasant shopping experience. Compared to other stores, Lucky is never crowded and I know shopping there will be quick and easy. The downside of Lucky in Sebastopol is that there's almost always some sketch people hanging around outside the store, either by the door or out in the parking lot. I've never had a problem, but I'm always extra aware when I'm outside the store. Not Lucky's fault, but as a woman it does effect my comfort level, especially after dark. While the experience shopping in the store is good, I don't recommend placing an order for delivery. They advertise free shipping over $35, but when you go to check out, they suddenly add a "service fee" of $20. Seriously, $20 per order?! That's ridiculous. They say it's for things like background checks and insurance - why am I paying for that?? I'd prefer they just advertise a delivery fee up front rather than try to sneak it in during checkout. I had my entire order picked out which took quite a while, only to erase it all when they added $20. What a waste of time. If you're like me and sometimes grocery delivery really helps when you're super busy, you're better off ordering from Safeway. I find their prices and coupons similar and their delivery fee is usually $5.99. read more

The cashier who was a male was very rude. I went through the self checkout by accident and he wanted me to come out of the self checkout and go through his line. There wasn't even a line in the self checkout definitely not a friendly person and he gave a bad impression of the store! It was the first time I shopped there. I would definitely not go out of my way to go there. I've never had that kind of experience before at Food 4 Less. I also worked in the grocery business before, and this person was downright rude.!! read more

My previous review was 5 stars. I am downgrading now because of expiration dates. Way too many on shelves!! It's very frustrating. I even brought it up to a clerk and his reply was don't worry they will get pulled.?! read more

I usually go to Safeway even though it's farther away because every time I come here I have a weird issue. An older cashier with dark hair always tells me to pick up my receipt if I forget it and will get sarcastic if I don't reply when she says have a goodnight or something. I will always say have a goodnight back to someone, except for her because she's just rude for no reason. read more

I'm just updating my review because I forgot to mention Whitney and Connie and Sarah by name as having helped me, I really do believe that the store is making improvements from what it used to be, and with the new Starbucks opening up next week in the same parking lot, I believe there will be some positive changes. Also, to my surprise, there are some unique items that are low carb keto, friendly, and lots of organic options of their own sunshine brand. And Nathan and Stephanie, and Cisco, who stands there bagging everyone's groceries without complaint. Is this place great? No, but it really did get me through COVID and had items others didn't and I do believe all of the traffic that will be packed in that parking lot because of the new Starbucks is going to change the way Lucky improves read more

A friendly and helpful staff makes for a good shopping experience. Thank you for making Lucky Supermarket my favorite local grocery store.

I shopped on my way to work 8:43 Am on 2/20/25. the two cashiers were in a long conversation about Daisy's niece and what they chose at Target. I waited and finally said I was on my way to work could they ring me. They were annoyed. How dare a customer ask for customer service! Then an item did not come up for the discount price on the sign above it. Shamala, not sure of her spelling, went to look it up and started telling me the price was not 99 cents. Of course not, it was 99 cents off. She was incredibly rude, hollering before she even was close to the cashier checkout. I said, prices are always off here and that's why I don't shop here often. Daisy then said to me " you are banned from shopping here in the future!" Excuse me, this store needs to have an employee overhaul. You bet I won't step foot in Lucky's, and I will tell all my family and friends to not shop here again. These two young ladies should be fired! I managed retail stores and this behavior would be a termination, immediately! read more

I love this store ! Everyone is helpful and friendly. The store is clean and well stocked . Carts always sanitized and ready for use . I feel they really step up and super addressed Covid issues . read more

Beware.. a weird thing happens when you map this address out with your phone using Apple Maps. If you map it out with this address... it may also get you lost. We learned the hard way. The weird thing is - I reported that address as bogus, got the real Luckys 2 miles north of this location. It might have something to do with Google and Apple maps not knowing which part of Gravenstein HW is which. I even pinpointed the location/ coordinates to Yelp and submitted a picture last Feb but it all still fell into this review. Long story short, if you do try to come to Luckys, make sure you know that if you cannot find it, travel north until you do... it is right by CVS and Fiesta supermarket. It is a big grocery with a shared lot, you cannot miss it. This Lucky is good, or has improved (probably) since 2011, based on earlier review. Just your average run-of-the-mill grocery. :) read more

Lucky - they have a deli and bakery. nom! - Grocery Near Me - Sebastopol, California

The app and the digital tags under most items on sale are so lame. I went up to the checkstand, hoping somebody could help me out with the app like they so nicely did last time, but this time some woman named Daisy was the clerk in the checkout, and she was absolutely horrible and an absolute B. She said "well you should be able to figure it out". I said well maybe I'm not as text savvy as you. She is assuming this because just because I am younger. It was horrible. I live close, and I have for almost 35 years and I will never go back there again. I feel bad for my grandparents and other older family members that have to go there on a daily basis and have to deal with these horrible cashiers. (Sebastopol, CA) read more

I love this store! Believe me, I have tried all the rest in the county and Lucky is simply the best. It has EVERYTHING and the best prices. If you want it they have organic and gluten free and dairy alternatives and good supplements as well as good fish and meat department, bakery and florist. The competitors are too expensive and crowded. I never have to wait in line ever. The people are NICE! read more

This has to be the worst grocery store around. You HAVE to check every products expiration date or you will be sure to get expired foods. The garlic bread that had labels pasted over labels and was nearly a week old that made our family sick was unfortunately not a one off experience. I just got coffee for my wife and forgot to check the label and it's expired by nearly 2 years! How does this store get away with it??? The _only_ reason we still shop here is the service that Matt, one of the managers, gives. He really should be the store manager! read more

Lucky - Grocery Near Me - Sebastopol, California

See all

This store isn't terrible- not nearly as bad as might be expected when one observes that no one ever shops there. In most respects, it's just like the Safeway down the street, although the bakery items are more expensive and bread and canned goods are sometimes a bit cheaper. They also don't carry as many alternative and natural foods, but they do supply my favorite brand of tofu at a reasonable price. Occasionally it pays to check out their OTC meds, as they often have better deals than does CVS. Employees look bored, but will assist you if asked. read more

Sad to see a large grocery store not limiting customers, cleaning carts self clean your own cart. I am sure they don't wipe down food conveyor belts after each customer. read more

We shopped here on New Year's Day. It was quiet, which was nice. Stock was pretty good; although, they were restocking the packaged meat section which had limited choices of stew meat that we were looking for. We noticed most of the reviews are dated. We'll be back. read more

Employees are friendly. No lines. Prices are good. Bakery Dept is wonderful. Produce is fresh. Meat Dept has great 5 for $25.00 meat deals. Love there fri- sun deals read more

For me, It's simply a matter of logistics for most items. If I'm in that part of town it's Lucky's if I'm a little south it's Safeway a little farther south it's Fircrest. read more

I find the store nice if you know what your looking for. But three times now I have purchased a product only to find when I get home it's gone bad, on the shelf way passed its expiration date.. Milk, cottage cheese etc. I know I have to learn to read the label and not trust the store to keep on top of it. I never get a friendly hello or acknowledgement by people that work there. read more

The best grocery store in Sebastopol. I dont know why we dont shop here more often. Do Ya Feel Lucky 2day Punk, Well Do Ya? Then Make My Day, 0K? read more

My brother brought home a box of corn dogs that were 2 years old. They need to check there freezer stock better

The seafood and produce has major freshness issues half the time. Price wise I am not impressed.... saw flies on the pastries the other day, grossed me out honestly. Its always a ghost town there, now I know why... the service is fine, but its just kinda run-down and depressing there.. read more

Customer service.......this must be skipped in the training. The fact that you wait in line forever, get unfriendly service and the workers could care less in helping you find anything. I asked the girl working in produce if they had any corn on the cob, being everyone is carrying it, and she asked if I wanted the prepackaged kind and I said no, the full corn with the husks. She said then I guess over there and points to the wall and no corn on the cob. This store needs to be gone read more

A good overall store, the past few weeks have felt a little more dead than usual but other than that it seems pretty normal. I have never gotten a bad product from Lucky's, yet. The deli is usually quick and the bakery girls are pretty cute, especially the tall black haired one that wears a jacket. Most of the front staff are nice as well. Overall everyone seems pretty friendly and ready to help out. Id recommend shopping here is you care about the customer experience and talking to some nice people. read more

When I come in for a product in the sale flyer and it is not available, one should be given a raincheck for future use. Any store would do this. They said that because they lost a lot of food due to the recent fire they refused to give me a raincheck. Many of us have taken a loss due to the fire. Just to be clear, this is what the MANAGER of the store said, not the checker. I'm talking about $3.99. Really?? They did not care. Because they did not care, I care not to shop here anymore. read more

Lucky deli has the best Fried chicken in town and those salt and vinegar wings a must have.

I'm pretty much ready to stop shopping at this store. They have some things that I can't get elsewhere, but it's beyond irritating how slow checkout can be. Dino is the slowest checker I have ever, ever seen. Often he is the only checker available. One time I had to wait a couple of minutes while two checkers chatted with each other (only after I faked a coughing fit did they seem to realize, "oh yeah, customers!") People, there is a reason that so many other reviews describe this store as a ghost town. read more

Well don't go there for the customer service, they have none. I get the vibe that they all hate their job and they are mad at you for being there. The only time they are animated or crack a smile is when they are gossiping amongst themselves about other coworkers. And their bagging skills suck. They are a miserable bunch, but I return to the store because I know where to find everything I need and the prices are fair. read more

My family and neighbor has nicknamed this store Suckys. The only reason to go is for comic relief. Every time I go I feel like I'm being filmed for an episode of 'Punked' or Candid Camera. The staff completely ignore you while remaining totally engrossed in conversation with each other. Selection is poor - especially in organic foods. Drive the extra 5 minutes to Safeway where at least you'll be acknowledged when you check-out. read more

This store continues to go downhill. The meat and fish department smells. Many of the checkers are surly and rude. They don't carry many of the brands that I regularly buy. They have taken out there bike racks in front of the store. Yesterday I bought sliced meat from the deli. I was the only customer and it took about 5 minutes to get waited on. The woman behind the counter was mixing up a huge salad and pretty much ignored me. When she finally did slice my meat and bag it, the bag that she put it in was so slimy( from her hands) that I asked for another bag. She put the greasy slimy bag inside a new bag that was almost as slimy and handed,it to me YUCK! What a horrible store!!!!!! read more

This is my "go to" grocery store. The employees are friendly and helpful, and I usually find everything I want, and then some. Also, I like the Sebastopol Lucky store because the aisles are wide and uncluttered. I don't feel like the displays are closing in on me like in some stores. I gave this store five stars because I have no complaints with the service or the product selections read more

very clean store, almost friendly cashiers, helpful peeps at the bakery area, good selection of products in every department. Prices are a bit high, the bathrooms are a bit yuck, the place is always deserted, but generally a pretty good store. Thank you! read more

I used to love this place till all the name changes. Then the brands that I liked where gone as where the low prices. I actually went in this past week for the first time in a couple years and it was creepy deserted. The beer I picked up was actually more than the local convenience store and upon popping one open I discovered the fridge there is just cold enough to chill the bottle and not the contents. I will drive past this place every time to shop somewhere else. read more

Have been shopping here for 35 years and will not return again. Took in a gift certificate we won at a fair for C&H Sugar - free 25 lbs. I got my sugar, handed the coupon to the checker, whose English was extremely difficult to understand. She hadn't seen one like this do she got her manager. The manager hadn't seen one and only decided to check with the manager after I pushed the issue. After waiting over 23 minutes they finally came back and said they would give me 4 lbs for my 25 lb coupon! What customer service! I told them to keep their sugar and my entire shopping cart and I walked out. Straight to Safeway where they honored my coupon! Unbelievable attitude like I was trying to rip them off or worse yet made them do their job. read more

Sorry to see others have had some sort of bad experience. Was a Great experience for me in the deli..... Best part of the store..... Go See Albert! You wont regret it! Super customer service! read more

I absolutely love the Amich butter they are carrying now. I could not believe the taste & flavor. The store was out of it & the head butcher DEREK overheard me talking about it & approached me & said he will check into it & make sure that the order comes in. Sure enough, he got it in in 3 days after I waited 3 weeks. This is what he overheard me saying. He was a tremendous help. Also I would like to add, this is my favorite store to shop. The clerks are friendly & helpful & I always leave laughing after talking to the clerks. It is a very friendly relaxed atmoshere which you will N-E-V-E-R see at Safeway. God Bless men like DEREK. read more

Overall I liked the store, the only thing I left curious about was why there meat manager was good looking, but he was not there to answer

This place is garbage.. I just saw the most viscous attack on one of their own customers. A transient guy... seen him around town a few times. He's not bad or nothing very soft-spoken normally. Anyways some over-zealous and authority driven supervisor ran out the store after him. I just watched him ring everything up at one of them self pay things put his receipt and stuff in his pocket. The supervisor whistled at him like an animal and placed a hand on his shoulder just outside the doors on the other-side of the doors and demanded to see his receipt. You could tell the transient guy didn't like this as he had to step back in anger from the manager. He (Transient) asked asked the supervisor where the policy was saying he could demand for him to produce any proof of purchase was. The supervisor then straight up told him that he'd stolen the item's. The transient tells the supervisor that he's "Lucky" that he doesn't punch him in his ugly little honker. I found this very humorous but then what I saw next after the transient had began to calm down bothered me the worst. This guy had paid for a meal and been accused of stealing and even told he had to go into his pockets or backpack to provide a receipt broke his 4th amendment rights as a citizen. He had a reason to be all upset. If you don't nobody notices.. people just keep walking. The manager then threatened to change the homeless persons words up and have him arrested under lies because he wouldn't leave the store. read more

I don't know why all the bad complaints, I have been coming here for years and always get good service.Very recently they've had store manager change, and the service and staffing has just gotten better. The deli and bakery are always good, and the prices are better the safeways. Give it a chance, i'll be back. read more

Alright! here is the update to Luckys in Sebastopol. Thank you so much for bringing back the Krab and Shrimp Louie salad and the Chinese salad in your deli. Along with I do not know what happened but now your service at deli is amazing!. YOu are again my number on to go to for lunch. Please keep up the great work! It shows. read more

This place is horrible for customer service. They always wait until there are a lot of customers before they call up a checker. the checkers ignore the customer and talk to each other as they are checking you out. The deli people are bad because no matter how you tell them you want your lunch meat cut they just do it the way they want. I decided today I will stop shopping there. read more
