This is the place to go if you want to buy produce with defects covered by the ID sticker, or expired meat and moldy cheese. Wife brought this pack of chicken home on 8/8 and I thought it was interesting that SVM placed their own sticker over the factory label. Well now I know why, it's marked as use or freeze by yesterday, 8/7. Message to ownership and management: this kind of behavior loses customers, which further harms your sales/turn over. You should invest and rebrand or cut your losses and sell the store. read more

Checked out Scotts Valley Market 4/20/25 Easter Sun because Starbucks closed early that day and we needed to use the bathroom. Bathroom is in the back. They have a deli section, salad bar, and other ready to eat food, plus groceries. Friend said honey mangos on sale 2 for $1, I didn't see them and missed out. Left my wallet in my backpack in the car. Bummed out. Lessened learn: always bring your wallet! read more

This was my first time at this particular market and we were just driving around when I wanted to get a drink! Behold, they had 1 million different types of kombucha!! Then we walked around the deli and they had so many delicious items we ended up getting sandwiches and we weren't even hungry! The lady behind the counter was so sweet and helpful. I got the chicken pesto sandwich and it's cooked in a Panini press!! Delicious!! My husband got the tri-tip sandwich with the garlic sauce, and didn't realize it was just all meat, but it was still very filling to him. He wish he would've added some vegetables to make himself feel better about what he was eating. Lol. As we walked by, there was a great bakery and good bite-size pieces of cake for a dollar that we both ended up buying three mini slices of cake just to try, the chocolate cake, vanilla cake, as well as the pecan!! Three bucks for three different pie slices you can't beat that!! I will definitely be back here again to have more snacks and check out the rest of their deli sandwiches!! read more

The hot food and produce are delightful, but beware of buying other items from Scotts Valley Market. The price is about 66% higher than the same items at Grocery Outlet. I also found food on the bakery shelves almost a week past its best by date, which the clerk graciously offered to sell me for full price. Everything in the clearence section is expired. At least one of the bags of coffee expired in August 2024, and it is currently July 2025. read more

Really great food bar and also the pesto pasta is very light and not overwhelming. the veggies could be steamed a bit more but still really well done by the cooks. The stores are clean and the customer service is always welcoming. Whenever you need help they aren't pushy. There is enough workers to help find things you need. read more

I ordered from Scotts Valley Market for deli catering recently and their store did an excellent job at providing a fantastic selection for very competitive prices. We took about 13 individual sandwich orders in advance along with an order of salad, fruit, and cookies. Everything came out to about $250 for an enormous amount of food. All of the sandwiches were well made and they even have a few vegan friendly options or ones that can be made as such. The online ordering process was a breeze and pickup was easy and timely. We waited a few minutes after our scheduled pickup time for them to finish wrapping things up, but it really didn't take long. One of their staff members even pushed the cart of food out to our car for us which was nice of them. I would definitely order catering from their deli again if you're looking at a solid sandwich spot that won't break the bank. read more

Not surprised at all to find this grocery with a 3 star review! Three seems generous. I've been several times, always reluctantly after the first few visits. I can only be annoyed with myself for continuing to go, but today was another reminder. Negatives: -pressure to join their club -way overpriced items -sketch and limited produce at high prices - the most gristly tritip hidden in a deli quesadilla I've ever had. (Like a sham butcher...hiding the bad meat places and putting a thumb on the scale...) -staff seem unhappy to resentful on average - dark, low ceilings Positives: -they sure make things smell good grilling in the parking lot! My only meat there was the quesadilla. Dry, chewy and over half had more gristle than tastes good, some bits just had to be spit out. It was a 8$ plate with bad meat sold for $12. So net negative with this experience. - they are sometimes convenient read more

The Scotts Valley Market was the place for me to get my breakfast while staying at the Four Points. Elites Bonvoy member normally get free breakfast. But, with staffing problems, their restaurant was closed and I was forced to go offsite. In a way, I'm glad the Four Points forced me to come here, otherwise, I would've never discovered them. They seem to be upscale market. I mainly roamed around the meat and deli departments. Their meats looked excellent. They had a large butcher case with all the cuts of meats on display. They had marinated meats like chicken, tri-tip, skirt steak, and pork tenderloin. If I wasn't traveling, I definitely would've bought some meat to cook. Visiting their deli to grab some breakfast was my main goal. They had a good variety of burritos like pork sausage burrito, carne asada burrito, spinach mushroom burrito and chicken burrito. But, what caught my eye was the brisket breakfast taco that came with an fried egg. The sausage egg burrito was good. It was big enough for 2 women to share. The brisket taco was served on a flour tortilla. The brisket was a little dry, but, the runny egg gave it some moisture. It had a good smoky flavor. It was good. Thanks again to the Four Points for making me visit this market. I liked exploring it. They have a great meat department and serve some pretty good breakfast here. read more

If your familiar with Deluxe market this is same exorbitant prices. One of the managers is extremely rude to elderly customers as was a Spanish clerk. Apparently they hate elderly customers. If you need one basic item and are in a hurry you can get in and out. read more

Eat from the hot food bar if you want diarrhea for 48 hours. If it doesn't come out of one end it will surely come out of the other. Everything is ridiculously overpriced. Their food safety practices are disgusting, they have cold rooms with hoards of food not properly packaged and closed. The managers are miserable people and treat their employees like crap, hence why their turnover is shockingly high. Management conducts itself like they reign over their employees. Their stupid policy about leaving your bag at the front is a lawsuit waiting to happen. The only reason they are still in business is because there isn't a market across the street from them. The ambiance sucks and the managers are straight up rude. read more

Have been frequently running into expired products that I have purchased from Scotts Valley market. I would love to trust a business enough to know that their shelves are not stocked with expired products. However, that is no longer the case at Scotts Valley market. These chips cost 7.76...and yeah I still ate them all because they cost that much. read more

Be very careful when paying for your items. Today Scotts Valley Market charged me $10.95 for a package of ground beef that was marked $4.00. They claimed that "It was coded wrong." In the past this store has also made mistakes when using my ATM card and overcharged me. Very poor service. read more

(1) Rats roaming - Not well managed: Found a rat in the warehouse area outside the bathroom at around 6 pm. broad daylight. The rat which was not even scared of people, standing just right there in the entry area, eating the food from the warehouse. We told two employees about these but they were indifferent & had no response whatso ever.... Rats live in group. When you see one, there are always more hidden. (2) Deli has low quality foods - cheap tilapi, meat with a lot of bones, etc. (3) Price is high with bad customer service. read more

they have organic apples prominently on sale when you walk in. i bought some. they are old. probably kept cold from last year. rotting inside. had they still been open at 10:00 pm when I cut one I would have returned them. not the first time this has happened but its the last. never going there again. read more

Horrible experience. Waited 15 minutes for the deli sandwich counter helper to even acknowledge my presence. She then had me fill out a sandwich form which she left on the counter as she continued slicing deli meat that she put in a container (I.e. she was prepping for the day, not actively helping a customer). After standing there 10 more minutes, I decided to tear up my form and walk out. Even as I was leaving, she refused to acknowledge my presence. Rude, unpleasant, unprofessional. I will never come back here again. read more

Premade sandwiches are pathetic and a ripoff...I purchased the "roast beef" sandwich for $8.99 and it had 1 layer/thin small slice of roast beef, little slice of cheese, 1 small piece of lettuce and thin slice of tomato on a sourdough roll. The tomato looked gross so I removed and the only thing one could taste is sourdough roll, took 3 bites and threw out. Don't waste your money on the premade sandwiches! read more

When grocery shopping here, please be careful and check the expiration dates and examine the packaging for puffiness, because the items are never checked for outdates. I Just needed a few items for dinner and the whole row of the cheese I needed was expired. And the precut fruits are often puffy, meaning they are spoiled, but still left on the shelves for sale. They are also verpriced for not carrying local produce or products often. I also got a chicken caesar salad from the deli section and the chicken was very hard and dry, possibly old chicken. And the dressing was ranch not caesar dressing. Please be careful and not get sick like I did from the overpriced expired food here. read more

Salad bar: same price as WF but they aren't as greedy. They bbq chicken/pork in front fresh during noonish and put it in the hotbar. They also do tritip on certain days. Can mix protein w/veggies for more balanced meal. Different than WF who always uses only pork or chicken; never beef to maximize profit. Hot lunch is less than 10$, asparagus and fresh bbq chicken breast. Couldn't finish it. Extremely large portion sizes for the price. Could never do this at WF. Packaged marinated meats are better than Dittmers. read more

I stopped by today to pick up sandwich at their deli section. It wasn't busy at all even though it was lunch time, I should have listened to my instinct. There must be something wrong with this place considering there wasn't any other sandwich place in the area. And I learned it for myself. They offer the worst customer service. The server had asked me to fill up the order slip even though she wasn't helping anybody, I told her that I only need pesto chicken. She insisted that I should still fill up the form. Out of my frustration, I just walked away and will never ever come back to this place. Also, I will advise my friends and family to avoid shopping here. read more

FREQUENT MISPRICING. Almost every time I go, there's at least one item that shows up at the register for a significantly higher price than the sign advertises next to item. I suggest trying to remember prices as you shop, especially sales prices on produce; then fill the register conveyor quickly so you can watch the register screen like a hawk to catch and call out the mispricings before you leave. Often the sales price on an item has not be entered into the system used by the registers. This market sells mostly high quality items. Nice olive selection. Fresh, local Del Pueblo tortillas are excellent. There is a pretty good selection of organic produce for a medium-sized grocery store, and produce is usually fresh. Prices are usually at least somewhat higher than Nob Hill or Safeway, but their sale items for Scotts Valley Market Card holders are usually a good deal (you can get that card for free). Line is often 3 to 8 minutes long, but sometimes less. Employee turnover seems high, which can lead to slow lines and miskeying of items at the register. Convenient location. Overall 3 1/2 stars. read more

This is my favorite Market/Grocery store in Scott's Valley. When you walk in you will see that they offer complimentary gloves, and hand sanitizer. I always go right to the bathroom and wash my hands. Some things here are higher priced than other stores, and some are similar or much less. The CBD drinks I enjoy are the best price here out of anywhere I've ever been. There always seems to be different sales going on. The sushi here looks pretty good! The woman working that station is really kind. Everyone at this store has been so kind and helpful. read more

Good things: neighborhood store, good selection, and friendly staff. Bad things: deli counter to get a sandwich and burger with fries, 35 minutes ???? Also super pricey on the deli and hot bar.... I go here because I live right behind it.... And I like local businesses over Corp ones.... SV market please make your deli more efficient with time.... read more

Not impressed. Check out is slow and management is rude. This is all the time. I have asked for help ... no bueno!

This is a locally popular grocery whose claim to fame is not groceries but an awesome hot bar and deli. While the majority of the lot in this shopping center belongs to the market, it's surprisingly difficult to maneuver around in, and at time that lot may only have one semi impossible spot open to park in. Not the best place to bring a work truck or massive suv not that that stops anyone. Anywhoo, once you have negotiated parking, the store is impeccably laid out. It's the not quite rustic, not quite modern, sustainable feel that whole new amazon leaf foods tries for. While new leaf et al doesn't quite hit, this place does along with a uniquely local focus. As this store is smaller then many all) groceries the selection isn't any too deep. Around six or less brands for any given item only, and it's not the best spot for exotica. No pickled eels, balut, blutwurst, chitilins, vegemite, durian and whatnot. Which is fine but they also miss spelt, samosas,chicory,fondant, and kielbasa. The quality of the grocery ranges from good to great but is roughly a dollar or so more then you'd expect to pay. So far so meh, but the awesomeness is in the hot bar/deli. The salad bar is decent, they have house made soups at lunch and dinner, but the hot bar of prepared food is epic. There are no real weaknesses- well maybe the price- otherwise you are getting full restaurant quality foods at grocery prices. While they do have a picnic table or two outside, this is not a sit down kind of place. So yeah while the grocery side of things is okay, it's the fast casual premade items that put this above average. Bonus points awarded for an effective rewards program. read more

I've been shopping here for 15 years. Recently it's gone way downhill. The butcher area was always great, the main reason to shop here, but has recently reduced in size and been partially replaced with a huge display of beef-stock cartons and bbq rubs. All chicken is now in packets, marinated with a large markup. Whatever happened to Jared (sp?)? The outdoor bbq thing is good, and great if you catch it at the right time of day, but by the evening it's looking dry, sad and overpriced. One section of the produce (the other reason to shop here) has been replaced with kombucha-like overpriced waters. They used to have a decent beer selection but now there's almost nothing interesting, mostly replaced with yet more overpriced soft drinks. There used to be a good interesting-cheese counter but it's now half converted to "hard-seltzer" and other, no-doubt high-profit "drinks". I was there about 3pm today and there wasn't a single fresh bakery item on display - everything in packets or glad-wrap. No idea what it looks like at 8am, but I doubt I'll be finding out. And the inevitable "herbal-remedy" aisle that never seems to have anybody in it. There must be some high markup items there!? i'd like to think it could improve, not holding my breath. read more

I feel bad making this review but it needs to be said ... The whole point of having the luxury of a neighborhood market is for it to be easier and more convenient than going all the way to the store. When I first moved here, near the Scotts valley high school I was excited to know there was a market near by. I unfortunately due to lack of staff of scheduling minaswell go to the nob hill or Safeway. In the amount of time it takes to get in and out of this place you could take the extra drive to the local store and make it home before being done at the market. The line never has less than 10 people in it. I would love to shop here and take advantage of the closer location but the over priced items and the line make it not worth it at all. I would be willing to pay extra for the connivence of location, but having to wait 20+ minute just in line for 1 item ruins the whole point. My advice is to not come here for a single item ever. It won't be worth it. Since the beginning of covid this place just hasn't recovered or hired new staff. They need to focus on giving incentives to staff so they want to keep their job here. It's not that this has happened once or twice but it has been every time I have tried to shop here for the past year and I'm so over it. Needed to grab one item was hoping to be in and out. Once again stuck in the paralyzing line. Everyone in the line is constantly complaining about how annoying it is there is always a line here of 10+ people. Not 3, not 5. Usually 10+. Hopefully this place will recover staff or lower their prices for the gigantic line people have to wait in. Love the managers and the idea of this place. Also I love how it used to be when they had a solid staff. Makes me wonder if they are choosing to not hire more people to save money. Rather than it being "because of covid" at this point. read more

I would give them 5 stars if they accepted ebt. But not accepting ebt is a huge deal breaker for me. But I will say they have amazing meats. But if you're on ebt I wouldn't go there. I would recommend Shoppers corner as they do accept ebt and have fantastic meats. Good luck peeps! My main issue with SVM, is why? Why not accept ebt? read more

Love this cute little store. I originally went to purchase one specific item. I had no idea what I was walking into.

Outstanding. Great food and great staff. Prices can be really good and sometimes typical for a "smaller" market store. Huge selection to choose from. Great selection of hot food to go. Lots of great premade foods that u can warm up. Very a long line. Good desserts. read more

I came in looking for some ground pork but didn't find any in the display. The butcher asked if he could help me and I said it appeared he was out of ground pork. He said, "let me check in back". He came out with a small bag of meat, trimmed the fat and then ground it. Fresh ground pork. If you think a big chain would do something like that, you are mistaken. read more

Food is alright but seems to me the owner could care less about some customers and he doesn't put the effort in to include people who only have food stamps to buy their food. On top of that the main manager has a terrible attitude towards a lot of employees. Sometimes even going as far as telling some of them they can't go to the bathroom. I would totally support this market if it's management wasn't so stuck up, and Manipulative. read more
