Fresh & Easy

Well this is very disappointing. They’re permanently closed. They had the best selection of organics and gluten-​free products. The closest one now is on Mission which is a major inconvenience to go to. Target is here but the selection isn’t that great even for Asian foods like curry and coconut milk.

Tried to buy a cupcake at 12:45am and they were closed. Their «Open 24hrs» sign should say «Open 24hrs, when we feel like it…»

First time entering a Fresh & Easy and it was pretty organized, clean with a variety of offerings other stores don’t have.
This place is convenient for someone who doesn’t like to cook as there are a lot of ready-​made-​items like seasoned whole chicken, prepared salads, etc. I bought some ground lamb as its a rarity to find unless at a butcher or halal market…
Was a little rushed for time so didn’t get to peruse the whole store… self check out which makes it convenient… i’ll definitely return… and wow, its open 24hours!

This place is awesome it perfect for the lazy cook. I just buy a meal heat it up and I can fool anyone that it’s homemade that’s how good the food is prepared. Down side it don’t last long so u kinda have to buy dinners about two days at a time not a long shelf life but I love the food no matter what it is it all taste great. Self check out and open ²⁷⁄₇ can’t beat that. little pricey but u get a portion so I guess it’s not bad defiantly not just for one person dinner two ppl it’s just the right amount. yummm!

My favorite store in the Universe. Love that they are 24 hours now. However! I went here @ 3 a.m. a couple of nights ago and there was an employee standing in front of the display where I needed to get something, I said «excuse Me» and she continued to stand right in my way and didn’t even acknowledge that she heard me. Rude much! The other thing I do not like about this store is that there are a lot of car break ins and you can usually see the shattered glass in the parking lot.

Love coming here to grab some quick groceries. Great selection of cheap and tasty wines and checking off a small grocery list. Only place open Christmas Day too.

Love the fact that this is a ²⁴⁄₇ store, it’s convenient for those who prefer to shop at night with less crowds. I like their product variety and the location next to target is a plus. Minus one star for self checkout only.

I really liked this place and wanted to give it 5 stars but had to demote to 4.
First, not only was the food selection fresher than any other supermarket that I have been to in the US, so was the atmosphere with a much cleaner look than is typical in the US. A far higher percentage of space was devoted to fresh items and, conversely, the vile packaged and processed stuff was relegated to the back.
Second, the selection of ready meals for one and for two was massively better than I have seen in the US. I’ve tended to shop at Safeway, which has almost none, Whole Foods, who don’t have any, and Trader Joes who have some. Here, there was a wide and interesting range and most of them did not have gluten in (in other words, gluten was where you expected it, not added as a cheap filler as they do at Trader Joes).
Third, the staff were friendly and sincere rather than being fake as in so many places.
So, why not 5 stars. I chose a couple of things which were reduced as they were on their sell by date. One of them was a small tub of carrots with hummus — but on opening 30 minutes later, the carrots had turned to mush and so it had to be thrown away. No big deal, as it was half price, but the point about sell by dates is that the product should be good until the end of that day.

Open 24 hours: heck yes!
Nice and small (easy in and out)
Next to target on A st.
Self checkout. Nice employees. Neat and tidy store.

Fast service, great prices on products. While I was out shopping, I found myself confused about where a few items were, and was quickly helped by one of the employees, Mario was his name. I was amazed at how fast the service was and how easy he helped me. Keep it up!

How have I never been to this store before? I’m never going to Safeway again. They had everything I needed and great prices. The meat and veggies looked irresistibly fresh! The store was very clean, the staff was courteous and kind. And the best part, no line upon check out!

Lots of gluten free items to choose from. If planning serving a lot of folks perfect place to shop for groceries. The minus is you check out yourself & bag.

Too Much Help
It’s not easy being a big bastard, but I somehow manage.
(Excuse me while I slap one of my hookers for not bringing me enough money.)
In all seriousness (I actually slapped the bit– on Friday), I have to lower the rating because I’ve had too many uncomfortable experiences here.
As with my previous review, this one focuses on my last two visits.
⁷⁄₁₉:
I don’t know why, but one of the regular grocery clerks insisted on doing everything for me when I reached the self-​checkout machine.
He didn’t even want me to touch the machine. Maybe he thought that I would give it some kind of disease.
It was awkward. I’m very independent, and I felt like I was being treated like a baby. My change was even handed to me (the clerk apologized when he dropped a coin). It was just too much (I didn’t need any help at all).
I was in such a hurry to leave at the end that I almost left one of my sodas behind (kudos to the clerk for alerting me right away).
I’ve been a regular here for 1.5 years. If I really need any assistance, I’ll ask for some.
Today:
2 self-​checkout machines were down, and I initially went to one that was for «alcohol purchases only» (if there’s a sign, I didn’t see it, and this may be a totally new thing). A clerk steered me to another machine.
The 2 women in front of me were slow to bag their items, and so I couldn’t start scanning mine right away.
Anyway, I felt flustered in general, and I shook my head when the clerk asked me if I needed any help (she knew at that point that I wanted to be left alone).
The self-​checkout machines are too sensitive.
I can’t say, though, that they’re more temperamental than the ones at other stores.
I was reluctant to use self-​checkout machines in the past, but I now prefer them sometimes.
Anyway, it kind of defeats the point of having them if a clerk is going to do everything for you or hover around so much.
The employees here were hard to find in the past, but they’re now in the way at times. They can also be annoying (it’s good that customer service is stressed here, but some of the clerks try too hard).
Okay, on to some other sh – .
New Hours: 6 a.m.-Midnight daily.
(The store used to be open daily until 10.)
Update (⁸⁄₃₀): The store is now open 24 hours (I don’t know if this will really help the store do more business).
:
Friends Rewards:
I have already earned about 300 points (you can start saving some money with the card once you’ve reached 500 points, and you automatically receive 250 points when you activate a card).
You can earn bonus points if you buy certain items (the items basically change every week).
They kind of disappeared earlier, but I’m now able to buy Egg Salad Sandwiches and Ham & Egg Croissants regularly again.
We All Scream for Ice Cream:
Wild Raspberry Chocolate Chip: ⁶⁄₁₀.
My wife liked it more, but I barely found the ice cream to be edible. The chocolate chips overwhelmed things, and the combination just didn’t work for me.
Cherry Chocolate Chunk: ⁸⁄₁₀.
Markedly better, but the «dark chocolate chunks» were mainly in the way. Overall, the ice cream was a mixed bag for me (like making out with an ugly girl).
Wild Blueberry: ⁹⁄₁₀.
Now we’re talking.
My wife wasn’t blown away, but I was. The ice cream was soft and yummy. It was easy for me to eat a bunch of it at once.
Muffin Madness:
The Blueberry Scones are okay, but the Wild Blueberry Muffins are better.
My wife really likes the Banana Nut Muffins.
The portions and prices aren’t the best, but there’s a solid selection of packaged meat here.
There are a ton of Fresh & Easy items (ex:
). I’ve been pleased overall with the ones I’ve tried.
I shop here almost every Saturday.
Like when I’m having sex, I want to be in and out.
Enough with all the «helpful» clerks!

Love shopping here even after the changes in ownership. Liked the old $ 5 & $ 30 off coupons you could scan multiple times. However, the made for me coupons are getting better & they never fail on the Thanksgiving Dinners. Very good selection of prep ‘d meals and meats. Not everything is the best price you can find but a little weekly ad watching will help you discover what those items are for your household.
Some of the new staff members are customer service challenged at times but if you really have an issue these newbies can’t handle, 1 of the sr. staff members is usually very close by to assist.
One tip I would share about accessing weekly coupons via your smartphone is to have them prepared and ready to scan before you enter the store cuz cell single is weak as you get into the back of the store.
New store hours rock:
6 am to 12 midnight daily

I think I should shop here more often. Sometimes their produce is a little suspect… But I go for the grains and the fish. So far, so good.
But most of all, I love how empty this place is. Like… LOVE. I love me some Trader Joe’s, but so does everyone else. But Fresh n Easy… No crowds, and the hours are just amazing. Can’t beat that!

When yoiu sign up for their friend’s program, on your birthday you get FREE points loaded to your card and get $ 5 to use on any purchase!
That’s really AWESOME!!!

Time: 2:17pm
Purpose: My friend needed to go Target next door I decided to walk around and check local surroundings.
Set-​up: It’s like an safeway, Lucky’s, pak n sav all it is grocery store that carry’s the conventional name brand nothing organic here. Feels like just an ordinary grocery chain without the hot food deli.
Staff: Average workers ask them a question about Newman’s organic items and they were like dumbfounded, after that altercation I didn’t ask no more. The stockers were like tossing items on carts and really didn’t care it they rotate their items or not.
Cleanliness: It’s standard grocery condition so if you visit your local grocer same applies here no difference maybe different store name that’s about it.
Eats/​Drinks: 32oz almond breeze milk $ 1.99 reg price $ 2.79
Products: National brand name Kraft’s, Nabisco, Coca-​cola, Kellogg’s, quakers, hostess, foster farms, hillshire, tyson etc.
Punch Line: Save a bundle here for party needs, bike rack out front, self checkout, all national brands, some discounted goods few days before expired.
Final Thoughts: I don’t understand why they would build such a place when smart&final is a quarter mike down the street. To me a better bargain is S&F they’ve always been known for quantity at lower prices than some of their competitors. Don’t know their concepts here as the name itself doesn’t lived up to expectations. I will come here only if I don’t have any other choice or time constraints. It’s hours of operations is pretty good 6am-​12am 7days a week.

The workers are helpful and the place is clean. You check out and bag your own stuff, but the workers will gladly help you out.
I find myself being shocked a lot of the time on prices. Either on how cheap or how expensive compared to other stores.
Not sure how fresh they are, but it seems okay.
Do NOT try the vegan chicken… Lord have mercy.
Or do it. It’s your life.

It’s a great selection of food items available at reasonable prices. My favorite area of the store is the clearance area where they have tons of almost expired or slightly outdated food items for a discounted price. I tend to find some really good buys there.
The premade meals are not bad and for the most part are actually quite delicious.

Pretty cool place.
As others have stated, the customer service is lacking. A few of the employees discussed the shortcomings of their co-​workers. Not cool.
The food that was purchased was fresh and tasty. I’ll return whe I am in the area.
