I love going to Bristol Farms. If it were closer to my house, this would be my go to location for shopping. Especially for meat and seafood and their service deli. They have some amazing stuff here. You pay a bit more than say Whole Foods or World Market, but it is worth every penny. The staff here is usually pretty fantastic as well. If you havent been into one of these locations, I highly recommend you pop into one to see what theyve got going on. Theyve always got some cool stuff going on in the deli like in house fresh baked artisan pizzas or some awesome smoked brisket. The deli salads are also excellent. You really cant go wrong here. One of my personal must stops for are the Fanny Bay Oysters fresh in their meat department. Nothing like shucking your own oysters at home and smacking em down with a bit of horseradish. Cheers everyone!

Always a fantastic experience. Pizza is quite frankly one of the best slices in the valley. John whom I believe is primarily in catering yet took the time to accommodate my every need instore....... simply thank you. Your professionalism is unrivaled this day and age.

The prices are in-sane. Now the service is excellent. The people at the meat counter are so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. I appreciated knowing I can personalize a cut or pick the steak I want. The pastries look delicious and the produce fresh. Be prepared to spend a pretty penny. If you afford it, more power to you!

Customer service terrible. We came in thanksgiving to get a few last minute items. A abrupt and rather rude Mexican girl was sitting outside at a table with a group of her friends, and yelled to us as we approached, picking up or shopping?! Her tone was rude and a inappropriate manner. No hello or thanksgiving wish just a angry type of shout. This is a high end grocery store I would start hiring some people with manners that know how to deal with customers. It was offsetting to be spoken to this way and she was speaking to everything this way as they entered.

The store seemed really nice however our prosciutto was sliced a bit to thick and a little rind was left on it. The bread selection was not great and the bread we choose ended up being a stale. Nice wine selection but a also overpriced.

Bristol Farms is the most beautiful grocery store I have been in. There prices are high, but so is the selection and quality. They stock things that cant be found elsewhere. I bought some butter patties that were there special of the day because they looked so good. Well, I just cooked 2 of them, and OMG are they good!So, sometimes it is nice to splurge. If in had ordered this Burger in a restaurant, it would have been $15 minimum! So, for $3 cooking it myself, it was fantastic!Our friends get their cooked Thanksgiving turkey from Bristol Farms each year, and it is always amazing. The best turkey I have every eaten!So, if you want quality food, check out Bristol Farms.

I am not a frequent shopper here, but when I am in PD, I try to swing by for their Poke Bar. It is excellent!! Always has been. But, that is just about as far as my love for this store goes. I understand that it fills the niche of an upscale grocery store. Their deli items always look good... and the tomato basil soup is superb. But the prices on every day items are ridiculous. Also, the staff are not usually very friendly or helpful. Maybe if I were some little old lady, they would be more responsive. But, a simple smile goes a long way.

Review №41

This is a somewhat pricey grocery store. That said, it is also a go-to establishment for hard-to-find and high-quality items, which is what usually brings us here. An example: the price of limes here is about double that of other local grocery stores. However, the size of said limes is also double that of other area grocers. So if you want a lime bigger than a ping-pong ball, go here! ☺️

Good selection of specialty foods and drinks. Dont ever go there to eat after 7pm. Salad bar had dry lettuce and spinach, nothing marked, no cheese, out of dressing. Wife ordered a Turkey sandwich...Turkey was great...bread so dry it felt more like toast. They were out of wheat bread. I was disappointed, trying not to sound whiny.

Breakfast in the cafe is exceptional along with the price cant be beat. Staff is always helpful and friendly. We love options. We can pick up fresh made meals, wine or any other beverage. Cheese selections are the best. Bakery or coffee shop are great. Fresh flowers, salad bar, butcher or fresh made pizzas covers all your needs. Cant find a thing wrong and wifi tops off the whole experience! !!

While this Store is Pricey, they have a very Unique Selection of Cheeses, Olives, and other foods that can be hard to find. Bristol Farms has a wonderful selection for Salads, and Hot Plate Meals. I definitely recommend at the least you want to check it out! I Love this Store!

Review №53

Bristol Farms and I were made for one another; it’s like a match made in heaven! To briefly sum it up my wife works hard so seldom prepares dinner; maybe once a month. The result is we eat out a lot but prefer to dine at home. So once or twice a week I “cook” dinner that I don’t really have to cook at all because Bristol Farms does! As an example, last night we had shrimp cocktails, tossed lettuce salad, meatloaf, Mac & Cheese, wine and dessert all “prepared” with minimum effort on my part. Their huge variety of table ready food adds to our quality of life!

Review №54

High end grocery deli and restaurant. Gourmet everything and quality foods. Extensive variety of gourmet foods, cheese, wine, beer and bakery. Friendly people in the deli. They trimmed the fat on my tri-tip sandwich so I only got lean meat. I have a pet peeve about ordering a roast beef sandwich and getting a roast fat sandwich instead. I was pleased that I got what I ordered. Prices are higher than Safeway grocers but this is not trying to be Safeway. This is top shelf everything. Still the prices are tolerable. Besides, you deserve to stop eating out of the dumpster.

Prices are much to expensive. Nice store, the checker was not cordial at all. Sad he must have been having a bad day. I go to Stater Brothers in Cathedral City, the produce is always so fresh, merchandised well. The meat market is tremendous, the guys working behind the counter go out if their way to accommodate you. Best in this desert, and you can afford to feed your family without paying a fortune for ordinary products.

I went in here for some coffee cause I met this girl that told me how amazing it was! So I came in asked for the ice blended mexi mocha drink! It’s like a Mexican hot chocolate w/cinnamon that you’re abuela use to make for you when you were young! And there is so many other things on the menu that you can try! I’ll definitely be back!!!

I shop here from time to time, especially when it comes to the bakery and cake dept. They have a great variety to choose from, fresh and always a crowd pleaser. Im giving 3 stars for the bakery attendant. Each and every time Ive gone, she seems annoyed to have to help. I have been standing infront of the cake counter and have had to wait for her to acknowledge and make eye contact on various occasions. I know she can see customers in need, she always asks me did u need something? As if im standing there for no reason. Not the level of service I expect from such a high end grocery store. Should not have to feel that im disturbing someone to make a purchase.

Watch your receipts. Today they put the wrong label (beef loin) on my chicken and overcharged me $50.96. Glad I happened to have checked my receipt when I got home. Wonder how often that happens.
