This is by far the worst store I've ever been in--and I should've walked right back out. My husband bought a fishing pole, came home to set it up, and immediately realized a key part of the reel was missing. He returned to the store within ten minutes of purchasing all the equipment, and was told flat-out: no refunds once you leave. The part was clearly missing, and he wasn't asking for anything unreasonable--just an exchange so he could actually use what he paid for. Instead, the employee refused to help in any way. Completely unacceptable customer service. If this is how they handle defective or incomplete products, I would strongly recommend taking your business elsewhere. read more

$9 for ice, and it melted really fast. Rip off, will not be returning to this store for this reason.

I drive there Everyday for the Newspaper and some yummy donuts. Alot of items to choose from. Beach, Beer and Butter. Please be kind while there . read more

Friendly clerk. Picked up a cool pair of sunglasses and cap. Great beer and wine selection.

Decent product selection check due dates customer service turd; very unfriendly staff odd for this area.

Why do people give money to this place? They're so rude. I am a local and yet you should really be nice to the local people or you should be nice to everyone. It's just human kindness and I just can't believe how rude they are now over priced, and when I need something in a bind, I probably go to them but really you gotta be really in big bind because they're not nice at all. I can't even say that enough. If I could give zero stars, I would give zero stars because just smile and not listen to inappropriate music during the middle of the day on a Friday. read more

I've been here twice recently, and both times the service was rude. No hello, thank you, or goodbye - no recognition at all in fact of my existence as a human being. I hope the owners realize that they're destroying their business. I guess they do OK out of passing visitors? Hard to imagine the locals giving them repeat business. Oh yes, and the prices are really expensive, and nothing is marked. read more

I agree with all of the one star reviews posted here. This used to be a great place and conveniently located near the RV camping. Ridiculously over-priced and nothing is labeled for price. No, thanks! read more

I've been coming to this store for years now. My family and i never have issues with old and new management.I did price comparison with Safeway and this store always compete with Safeway in pricing.Safeway is a giant store and sometimes they put some good deals that no small store can compete.I always like to give my business to small store and there customer service is much better than safeway. read more

This place has changed. New ownership stares at customers while talking a foreign language into their phone. Not a smile among them. I sensed I interrupted a private conversation that was not going well. They gouge you in emergency times. They remind me of the cold SF store climate.. too bad... I won't go back.... Of course, I expect this to be deleted...... I'll be checking back to see. read more

Place is still overpriced and with poor customer service. Left a review a while back basically saying the same thing (which someone deleted, hhmmm) and they asked that I give them another chance. Well I did and it's still pretty bad. Everything is way too expensive - $20 for 3 sodas, a snack thing of cookies, and 2 packs of swishers kind of expensive. I avoid going there unless I absolutely have to because stuff is way cheaper at other stores close by. And the workers - man are they awful and entitled. They talk over you to each other as you're trying to ask them for things behind the counter. I had to repeat myself 3 times since they started yelling over me to each other as I was talking. It was pretty rude and unprofessional. Like they literally just had a yelling convo over the customer for some reason. Nobody behind me but guess they couldn't wait 30 seconds for me to leave first. Then on the way out one of them rushed to get out the door right before me and cut right in front of my kid who was with me. Didn't apologize or anything, just went on by like it's totally ok. So I finally gave them another chance - and it was almost the same experience as last time. Avoid this place unless you have no other options because they're rude as heck. read more

I went to this place yesterday between 3-5 and I had the worst service of my life. The cashier wanted to fight me for no reason, they don't care about their customers and is not local friendly especially with those jacked up prices. If I had the opportunity to put 0 stars I definitely and most likely never come to this liquor again, I would prefer drinking sea water instead of spending a penny there. read more

Very clean store The employees are hardworking and very friendly Best store in the town so far.... read more

I go to this store almost every day.One of the cleanest store in neighborhood. people complaining for no reason.They open late for neighborhood and you can buy everything from this store.I compared prices with Safeway and this store prices are very reasonable as compared to Safeway and we cannot compare these small stores with big companies like Safeway. read more

Seacliff Plaza Store is okay. They are convenient. They are nice and friendly. I am taking away a star for wrong billing. For example, I was given back two dollars for a twenty when the price was fifteen. To his credit, the guy working there did give me my five bucks when I pointed it out. Another time I was wrongly rung up double, accidentally, I am sure. So, I had to come back to say that I was overcharged and got the refund. Go Seacliff store! :) read more

This place is ridiculous on there prices!!! A half gallon of milk is $6 just ridiculous!! Plus they are SO rude. All Locals stay away!!

This place is a fair store for urgent basic things, which has low potential to go bad, for example: beers, chocolate, toothpaste, etc. Personally, I wouldn't buy there things like meat, eggs, etc. It might be overpriced for some things, as you expect from such places. Also, they accept cards only from 10$, which is very annoying :( The HUGE advantages of this place are: 1) It's in Seacliff!! 2) It's open for long hours read more

i dont see how everyone is receiving bad services or saying that they are rude, ive been going to this store for almost 8-9 years and never once in those 8-9 years have i ever been disrespected by the old and new management. everyone is saying that they are rude when they are respectful and have never giving me any issues read more

This place is awful with new owners. Prices are outrageous! Taxes cookies is $7.99. Coconut water the small bottle is $7.00. They don't label any of their prices so u don't know how much anything is until you are at cash register. I asked to return coconut water after paying cash, he yelled at me and said next time it had to be put back on my card when I didn't even use a card. Then they spoke in their language talking all kinds of negative things.. go to safeway, much cheaper. read more

Seacliff Plaza Store - Safeway coconut water $2.99.... there u pay $7.00!!!! For the small 8.75 Oz water.. rediculous!!! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Aptos, California

Total came to ~$6 , "can i offer you more items" cards have $10 min here - with no option to just charge 25 cents or whatever instead. he said go to safeway. you got it. read more

Extremely expensive! Check prices and shop accordingly. My most recent and last visit, I was shocked at the price uplift.

Usually, the Plaza Store is a polite, and we appreciate your business kind of place. Nothing compared to our visit at the market today. The young man who rang up our order was on an obvious personal phone call that required him using the f word in front me and several other customers. Rude - kept to his phone call. Clueless. read more

Good selection for a local liquor store, but my God the place is crummy looking and feeling. Everything is dirty, old, messy or broken. The city should make them clean up their parking lot, and exterior building or they should just put some serious TLC into the inside and outside to fix it up and clean it up. Yo Yo read more

It's ironic, but that it is in Seacliff which is a pretty good neighborhood, but during the Summer, there are some undesirable characters that hang out here. I think the employees should be more strict about having dodgy people hang out. It could detour business for sure. The store itself is alright...drop by here for a surprisingly good wine selection. read more

This store recently changed ownership and is making some changes around the store. It's definitely a lot more cleaner than before and I also saw new items that were added. read more

Always has what I need from tackle to snacks. Nice folks. Fair prices. Easy to park.

I've given the new owners and new employees there more than one chance but I think I've gone into their store for the last time. I'm born and raised in the area and I even worked there as a kid in high school. I cannot support a business who doesn't seem to appreciate me coming in. I went in tonight and 4 employees were there with no customers and all 4 of them looked at me and glared at me as I walked in. No hello or anything. And pricing is more than it should be. I drove by everyday and it seems like the parking lot is mostly empty so I can't be the only one feeling this. It doesn't take much to show appreciation to people who are coming in to spend money. Walking up to pay and seeing a person every time behind the counter on their phone not even saying hello is not ok in my opinion. To me it says they don't care about anyone coming in there. It makes me sad mostly. That was a really good store. Yes it's cleaner and more organized now but the customer service is an issue. And I'm not going to go there anymore. read more

The owner is deranged and extremely foul. This place needs to be put out of business and I would really hope anyone who cares about customer service in the least would not support this place. I went there to cash in a lotto ticket and the guts helping me were very nice but then the owner stepped in and said to me to get off the damn phone. I, who was not on the phone, took a moment to realize he was literally cursing me out, and asked to speak to the manager. He smiled at me with his chiclet sized dentures and said I am the manager. His employee who was clearly embarrassed then stated, he talks to everyone like that, as though that somehow made me being cursed out for my patronage acceptable. I immediately left and sat in my car for a second to realize that this man literally just cursed me out for being on the phone, which I was not! After I went outside he followed me and proceeded to taunt me by waving at me in my car. I was so upset by this that I burst into tears. I'm 7 months pregnant by the way. He literally went so far to taunt me that I decided to take a picture in which he began to pose for. He really is a sad, miserable person who treats his customers like dirt. I am also filing a complaint with the BBB. Don't shop here! read more

See all

Would give zero stars if possible. Went here with my boyfriend to buy a gallon of water, a mexican coke (for myself), and a six pack of beer for my boyfriend who is of age. Right when we get up to the counter the old clerk probably in his 50's asks "do you both have Ids because I have to assume she is going to drink... WHAT THE FUCK?! What if a mother and her son went there, the mom wouldn't be able to buy beer because her son isn't 21?! Get real! you lost a customer you will keep losing them if you treat them like that. read more

One of the worst liquor stores I have ever been to the white older male is one of the rudest man I have ever met in my life. I took an Uber here because I was drinking beforehand and he demanded to see my Uber drivers ID it would not sell to me because my Uber driver looked young to him. I will never be coming back here again they lost a customer and lost out on a heavy amount of money because I was buying a lot of booze for a party. This place needs to fire the old man. read more

What a horrible store owner. Listen, I get that kids come in with fake IDs all the time. But I had to threaten to call the cops to get my federally issued REAL ID back! What horrible service. NEVER had I been harassed as much as I was. read more

I was in this store a week ago and I saw seriously concerning behavior from the man who works here. A man walked up to the counter to purchase alcohol. The man at the counter then proceeded to cuss at him, confiscate his ID, and made everyone extremely uncomfortable. The man then politely informed him he will take his business elsewhere, and asked for his identification. The man who worked there then proceeded to place his hands around the mans neck, attempting to strangle him. The young man proceeded to leave this establishment, angry and confused, as we all were. The man who worked there then tried to attack him while he was walking away. I do not understand why the man working here seemed to think it was ok to yell profanities at a customer, place his hands on him, and attempt to chase him. The man working here seemed intoxicated and unprofessional, and I now choose not to go here because of the experience that poor man went through. read more

one of my regular stops if im working in the area.they almost have everything youre gonna need on a typical mom and pop market. as an extra bonus since,youre close to the beach you can even buy bait for fishing or boogie boards for you beach bums. read more

Seacliff Plaza Store - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Aptos, California

My wife and I love this little store. We camp at Seacliff State Beach a handful of times a year, so each time we do, we make a few stops here throughout the weekends. They are a great little place for odds and ends that you may have forgotten at home. My wife also loves the great selection of wine and booze they stock here. For such a small place, they sure have a lot of it! read more

so close by and a wide variety of items. many overpriced, but some great values. Cary is the best small store clerk ever. very personal and always happy to help. A+++++ service:) read more

Great service and help and consideration for the disabled. I've been there for years, from age Six (when we called it "Dirty Mary's"), to age Sixty and they've always provided what i needed. Now they are nicer, cleaner, and exactly what you'd expect for a simple, non-corporate, small run-in-out, corner market, and they stay open until midnight on weekends for all of us local neighborhood, last minute shoppers. Not perfect but all you really need for a corner market. Too bad so many alcoholics and homeless have moved into the neighborhood, but that's what this IDIOTIC COUNTY CONSIDERS THEMSELVES PROUD OF! read more

Great location and friendly worker. They had everything! ATM, fruit, clothes, beach stuff and etc.

They have all you need when it comes to food alcohol drinks and candy, and MOST of the people who work their are very kind and funny! But there is one Hispanic man who always looks down my shirt and then is VERY rude to me while he rings me up. I was buying a pack of grits and he asked if my i.d was real even though it is CLEARLY me and i am (well.. was) a regular customer, and not to mention he has sold them to me before after seeing that same i.d. shortly after he asked if my i.d was real he denied me service and refused to sell me cigarettes. the only reason i give them two stars is because the rest of the people who work there are really nice and they have quite a selection of stuff. Bob's grocery across the street is much better and they have better prices for most of the stuff. so i'd recommend going there, not here. but thats just me! read more
