I've had strange experiences with service. At the bakery counter I wanted to buy several 'S'mores…read morecupcakes and the unpleasant person who decided to assist me didn't like that I asked for a box that wouldn't mess up the toasted swirl on top of each cupcake. Rather than understand that I wanted to keep the attractiveness in tact, she decided to take exception to my request. Then another employee walking past made some nasty comments about we don't even have those kind of containers. So I pointed them out in a nearby display of baking goods. Then after a lot of sneering and snideness a man came up from behind the counter to gruffly inform me that they are out of those containers and I will have to take they have. The girl knew, because I told her, that I wanted the cupcakes to remain attractive. So as she boxed them up I watched and she made a point of damaging a few. I should have told her shove them! What the hell is not understandable about wanting your carefully decorated baked goods to not get smear in the box?! Why was that so hard to understand? I have a photo of the cupcakes-- the only undamaged one in front. I'm reluctant to make any more purchases because they made it an unpleasant experience for no good reason

Seaside needed a market where the who's who could visit . A place to see AND to be seen . All one…read morehas to do is walk near this place to see the red carpet rolled out for the wealthiest folks of Seaside California. The real elite visit this place seemingly daily . If your a car fan you simply need to visit the parking lot to take in the large amount of Ferrari 's AMG Mercedes and more . That said they have something for you tech geeks as well. You will quickly notice that every one of the markets clientele possess the latest and greatest in high end smart phone and tablet technology. Ladies ! you haven't been forgotten. You can see the latest Prada Lou Vuitton and so on here ! Next time you leave your 9-5 dog tired and maybe able to take home half of what you made (why are taxes so high here ?) stop in to prime time nutrition for inspiration and to see how California's elite truly live. While you watch the never ending parade of fortunates you will find yourself day dreaming about a day you can see your family before dark . Alas it's but a dream . You must get back to work society's truly elite needs YOU !

Unfortunately, the customer service has been just as consistently underwhelming. Every visit feels like I've accidentally interrupted an important meeting by...walking in and ordering. The employees (usually younger staff at the counter) rarely greet you, and when they do, it's with the enthusiasm of someone being asked to clean the garage. Today's visit summed it up perfectly. I asked about a couple of the hot tonics, hoping for a recommendation. The response? "I've never had them." Fair enough--but maybe follow it up with, "Let me see if I can find out," or "People seem to like this one." Anything besides leaving the customer hanging. The smoothies are blended with care. The customer experience...not so much. Hopefully one day the service catches up to the quality of the smoothies, because the product deserves it.

Buy local this is one of the healthier markets in the area and need to support a local establishments before they are swallowed up by the giant cooperations. Selection, selection....SELECTION! I would like to give a shout out to Nadia. I couldn't find my favorite peanut sauce, and she helped me find it, since it's the only place that carries organic gluten with without the high sodium intake. I season it with my lean ground beef. Customer service; there's always someone lingering near to help you with whatever you need. Store is hardly ever busy so I've never had to wait very long. Also a shout out to Carla that cashier that rang me up, thank you for the hospitality and I look forward to me next visit.
