    Orange you glad I took a pic of my mango?  :P Walked over to pick up this morning and now I have dessert... nom nom nom

    Meh... If I shrugged any harder my arms would be coming out of my ears! They have such a limited selection compared to other S&F stores but I can deal with this because the prices are so much better compared to "nearby" stores, and it's closer than having to drive to the next city over for the other big-box-store. BUT most of the employees have such poor attitudes. They're not friendly or helpful; sometimes they even hold up the lines because they're on their cellphones! This is frustrating when you're here for work and what should & could have been a 15-minute trip becomes 30+minutes! Just doesn't seem so smart, Smart & Final!

    The Alta Dena, 40% butterfat heavy whipping cream is an excellent deal at $8.49 for a half-gallon.

    It is probably more like 3 1/2 stars but I didn't want to knock them all the way down to three, so four it is. Every time I'm in there the store seems to be pretty well-kept and clean and everything is pretty well organized. Most prices are decent and I have recently started using their brand First Street for a lot of products such as dishwashing detergent and plastic baggies. The First Street brand of baggies is comparable to the Ziploc I used to buy from Costco but a better deal. However, be sure you know your pricing on items such as produce because I did notice they were higher than even Vons on things like mushrooms.

I immediately felt like I mattered as a person, not just a customer. Her assistance and knowledge and kindness was absolutely incredible, she was very helpful and knowledgeable about everything I needed assistance with. The store is impeccably clean and well kept, much nicer than the store in my area. I ended up coming back for a second trip because of my forgetting a fruit platter. I ended up being checked out the second time by another young lady named Allee, who was also every bit as friendly as Becca from my first trip. I can't express how grateful I am for these two ladies and all their help. Thank you both so very much! I definitely will be back to this wonderful location again!

I observed a team of very busy ladies with pleasant attitudes, welcoming body language, and I imagine smiles under their well covered masked faces! I witnessed careful cutting and arrangements of fruit, pastries and other items we eventually consume. The atmosphere was light, welcoming and one to sit back and appreciate! I was greeted by Adriana, who stopped working to go retrieve my order. The cupcakes are for my granddaughters team party today. I give Cherise, their head bakery full flowers for an awesome presentation! Each little one will have yummy cupcakes and a ring! It takes skill and patience for my order of 24 to be perfect! Great job! The design is perfect for us and age appropriate. She is truly gifted with craft and expertise. Liz was carefully cutting fruit and designing several dishes at once. Her gloved hands demonstrated how much care she put into her every stroke. Lea made the cake pops desired and provided a presentation that made me want to purchase those too! Bright and beautiful! Mary Helen was nearby preparing the deli chicken with dynamite care. Although I came for the wonderful cupcakes that Cherise provided with care, I left with an amazing smile, feeling refreshed at such awesome technical care that goes into each bakery item. Be in awe watching each piece of fruit cut, crafted and placed in perfect design! Well done ladies! I will return to this location for another round of excellent service!

I just got so busy doing so many things but again he went above and beyond in helping me get what I needed done to try and make a long story short, I went in there to buy all the vegetables and fruits. Things that I needed for the week. I was making ceviche for the first time my family, and I have arthritis in both of my hands, and I asked him if they could help me out by having the limes squeezed for me, I also offered to pay for them to do it for me. He was so kind and helpful. He says no not needed and he asked his manager on that day who was running the store I apologize. I did not get her name, but she gave the ok for them to do that. Also I would like to thank the workers who took care of it. A young lady I know they usually do not do this, but you really helped me out so much I appreciate it. I really did not know how many limes ‍ it takes to make the juice for the Ceviche. It was 10 lbs. It really goes to show how much this Northgate really goes above and beyond to help the people of this city in that just by asking that they are willing to help if they can and go out of their way to do it. So Northgate thank you so much for your awesome team of people you have working for you. You have incorporated good work ethics in the people you have working for you. It shows how much you have showed them about team work and how they enjoy working for Northgate because every time I've gone there they're always very nice, happy and helpful. And I will always recommend this Store Northgate for coming to get the produce, groceries The cakes, desserts and the food in this place is so good. The managers are always happy and they keep their store very clean and the people are always so friendly and helpful. Thank you again.

Mari was the one that help me after she did give me my stuff but made me try to feel bad saying I called them bad names when I never did. I would not come back to this store they have no idea what they are doing. Hope they don't make their sales they're supposed to make by the end of year and shut down.

    I stopped by Clark's Nutrition while I was in downtown Riverside and ended up spending much longer…read moreinside than I expected. From the outside, the historic De Anza building already gives the store more personality than the average health market, but the real surprise was how much they carry once you start walking through the aisles. I originally planned to look at a few supplements, then found myself browsing specialty groceries, frozen foods, teas, natural personal care products, sports nutrition, and several gluten free and vegan options. The selection feels carefully chosen, especially for people who read ingredient labels or need products that are difficult to find in regular supermarkets. The supplement area is large, so it can be slightly intimidating when you first see all the choices. Thankfully, the staff were friendly and actually willing to explain the differences between products. I appreciated that they did not make the interaction feel rushed or overly sales focused. After shopping, I had coffee with a hazelnut PROTABAR, which has become my favorite protein snack to pair with coffee. The whole hazelnuts, dates, quality egg white protein, and touch of cocoa give it a natural, earthy flavor without the artificial sweetness found in many protein bars. The hazelnut flavor works especially well with a warm cup of coffee. A few honest notes: downtown parking can take a little patience, some parts of the store feel compact, and certain specialty items are more expensive than what you might find at a conventional grocery store. I would also recommend allowing enough time to browse because this is not the easiest place to rush through. Overall, Clark's feels like a genuine Riverside institution rather than just another health food chain. I left with useful products, a few new discoveries, and a much better understanding of what I was buying. Definitely worth visiting if you care about nutrition, clean ingredients, or simply enjoy finding healthier products that are not available everywhere.

    I had a "zyto scan" that is offered here & the woman who does it, Serene was kind but she also had…read moreher moments where she was unintentionally ignorant, judgmental and inconsiderate which I didn't appreciate. I had a relative with me who told her I consumed energy drinks often which was irrelevant as to why I was even there. I was getting the scan for more insight on an my unexplained chronic urinary problems that I've had for about a decade. Whether I drink energy drinks or not, my symptoms stay the same. I am well aware this is not the best health decision anyone can make but Serene looked at me as if my relative told her I was doing hard drugs or drinking alcohol daily. The reason why I consume energy drinks often is because I suffer from nocturnia due to my ongoing urinary problems & I have a very demanding life being a single mom with endless responsibilities. I feel it is very easy for someone who doesn't have to deal with a certain problem on a daily basis to judge someone else who does. She then started to blame literally anything & everything on my results on the energy drinks including my nocturnia that is 100% caused by my urinary problems NOT anything of my lifestyle decisions. This isn't accurate, there are many factors that contribute to one's health. Mind you, she didn't even know what my health problem was at the beginning of our meeting but by the end she was acting as if she had all the answers & was one to speak on my issue but she was wrong about everything. It is important not to give misinformation in a setting regarding someone's health but she felt she knew everything. In the beginning of our meet up she mentioned that the scan is not a diagnosis so she also needs to remeber she is not a doctor.

I won't be able to go back to who I was 10 minutes ago before I ate that piece of poetry. The dill in the tuna complemented the salty and fish essence of said tuna, and brought refreshment not only to my mouth but to my soul and whole body in this monstrous heat. The lettuce was crunchy yet silky and the tomato was sweet and perfectly ripe yet still could hold its shape and didn't fall out at all. For how packed the sandwich was I was very impressed with how well it held up between the multi grain bread. I feel renewed and redeemed after eating that #4 tuna sandwhich. As I took my first bite, "oh yeah" but Steve lacy played in my car stereo, and instead of feeling like a chud loser for eating alone, I felt like a girl who was going to be okay- I saw light at the end of the tunnel, the wind felt cooler, I could see past the smog and the sky cleared up. It was as if God had intervened and blessed me with not only the best sandwich of my life but the hope that things will be okay and life is beautiful and whimsical. I will forever be changed. Sprouts deli didn't just serve me a sandwich, they served me hope. Eating that sandwich was the best 10 minutes of my life and probably the closest to heaven I will get while I'm here on earth.
