While driving back down the mountain from Placerville yesterday, my husband and I decided to stop…read morein to Fork Lift to grab some groceries for the week. I remember visiting Fork Lift like 10 years ago and really liking it - it is a sister store of Nugget Market I believe. The inside was massive, clean and well organized. My husband and I wanted to buy one of everything! Their produce section had every fruit and vegetable imaginable - it was also very visually aesthetically pleasing! I loved seeing their bulk spices, nuts, teas and candy options! Their butcher shop and fish section looked very fresh and can we talk about their massive cheese selections!? I was very impressed and they even had my favorite coffee for sale which is hard to find - the Blue Bottle Nola milk cartons. Overall, this would be my grocer of choice if we lived in the area - check out staff was also very friendly! Check them out!

Can you say urban cool? Maybe even hipster. Utilitarian. Yes, I am talking a grocery store! Fork…read moreLift. 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!

Definitely recommend stopping in and asking for Danielle if you're looking for guidance or just want to learn more about your options.

This is everything grocery shopping should be. The employees are super friendly, there are enough…read moreemployees there that you're not waiting around for anything, there's always someone bagging while the checker works, there are NO self checkout lines (I can't stand self checkout), and you don't have to enter your phone number into anything in order to get the sale prices. 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.

Nugget Markets is basically the bougiest grocery store chain in the greater Sacramento area…read more All of the packaged deli foods perpetually look like they were chopped within the past thirty minutes, the bakery section looks like an actual high end European bakery, the floors are clean enough to eat off of, and the associates all seem happy with their jobs. This particular Nugget has a fairly large upstairs patio area with tables, chairs, restrooms, water bottle refilling station, microwave, etc. Lots of grocery stores in this area have a downstairs lounge area, but being upstairs (but still accessible via a ramp and elevators) gives it an extra edge. Plus you can't beat that view of the Mercedes dealership. The salad selection is some of the best I've seen anywhere, although they are very pricey at about $10/8oz (which is why I haven't actually tried one). I came here in search of some tampons that I couldn't find at Target, and was thrilled that this store carried small boxes of single sizes, versus the huge multipacks they had at Target. Thank you Nugget for doing a better job at procuring feminine health items than Target. As a bonus this store (like many others) is within walking distance of the wetland preserve.

Come meet your local farmers! My favorite saying is,"you know your doctor (you see once a year),…read moreyou know dentist (you see twice a year), why don't you know your farmer?" You eat everyday, don't you? I moved my family from the Bay and living up here in NorCal for nearly 4 years. In the area, we visited all the smaller Farmer's Markets like Fair Oaks (Sunrise and Old Town), Carmichael (year round), and Folsom (year round). Cameron Park is by far the smallest but still has great produce! Organics or no-pesticides here are the BEST deal anywhere. The only drawback is this market is seasonal and opens from May to October. That, and we haven't seen local honey yet. So, come on down (or up depending on where you are)!

I wish I could give this place a better rating because the Safeways parking situation in…read morePlacerville is something out of a Mad Max movie but I have to be truthful to my continued experiences at this Safeway location. 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! Clean store ... good parking ... nice ambiance ... distracted clerks!

1st, the good news is that on line ordering and delivery to my car is excellent service…read more And lots of bad news: 1. There are not enough employees in this store. I waitied (swear) at the bakery for 20 min to get a cupcake. I found someone after waiting 10 min who was CLUELESS - who couldn't find a plate to put in on, so I got it in a GIGANTIC case - could have fit a full cake. The guy was SWEATING, running around desperate to find a container to put this thing in. Then there was no sticky stuff on the bottom of the cupcake so it slipped around on the huge plate and frosting was rubbing off on the inside containier and it flipped over too! 2. Employees that should be working at the deli are rarely there. If they are helping someone, they NEVER say "I'll be right with you". NEVER. 3. Today I got there at 7:55am, there may have been 5 people in the store. No cashiers, so I went to self checkout - I had a bottle of wine to buy and a bagel. The self checkout lady was, well, A BITCH. Told me I can't check out there due to the alcohol. She reluctantly checked me out ( 2 items people) and I thanked her and she had the NERVE to tell me that I interupted a phone call she was on. "See why we don't do alcohol in self-checkout". UM? WTH 4. Employees need a refresh on manners, customer service, etc. I am not giving them my business anymore. I HATE this store! Don't bother to go before a holiday. They have about 3 checkers for Thanksgiving. They suck. Other than on line ordering, I will be going there anymore. I'm done. You can thank the employee at the self checkout today for this post.

I came in to return some cough drops that I bought at another Safeway, no receipt or Safeway account. Danielle helped me out and exchanged them for another type of cough drop with no trouble. Minus a star because the gas station seems to have many pumps out frequently and also runs out of gas completely about once a month. This Safeway also is missing many goods and amenities others have.

This review is specific to an experience my husband had this afternoon, around 4:15…read more He was in line at self-checkout, and the man in front of him was buying some beers and burger buns--things for the Superbowl (today). He finishes, then picks up his paper bag by the handles, and the bag breaks. The beers shatter when they hit the ground, and there are glass shards and beer all over the floor. The self-checkout supervisor at the time was with someone who appeared to be a manager (?). Instead of apologizing or offering to help, the manager (or perhaps just entitled fellow employee) turned to the self-checkout employee and said, "Didn't you tell him not to carry the bag by the handles?" And then walks away!! This move was especially egregious because the employee supervising the self-checkout appeared to be someone with special needs! Blaming this employee for the problem was not only absurd, but actually abusive. The customer with the broken bag was left to try to clean up the broken glass himself (!), while my husband stood there pleading to the thin air, "Can someone please help this man?" Honestly, I think we all know Safeway isn't the classiest place to shop, but this experience was revolting. I couldn't find an appropriate place on the Safeway web site to complain about the event, so I'm relegated to using Yelp.
