The owner pays to have bad reviews removed so this one wont last. Items are overpriced, the products only cater to the gentry in a predominantly Aisian and Mexican neighborhood. News flash white people, Mexicans dont eat goat cheese, boar sausage or $30 per lb. Salmon. The coffee is good but the baked goods are bland, employees are nice but you can tell theyre not happy. They have a cool juicebar, but who goes to the store for that? The guy who claims to be the owner is often seen hung over driving the handicap shopping cart early in the morning, bad form and tacky if you ask me. They use to have good produce, but lately thats gotten weird, No more organic ginger but they have some spiney melon and $3 ea. passion fruit..? This place has gone from bad to worse so fast Im surprised they havent burned the place down for the insurance. No idea as to the needs of the community they serve, clueless when it comes to products real people shop for. Thank God for Trader Joes.

This is a really nice place. It is a "Whole Foods" competitive place. It is not huge, (quick to walk around), and has nice quality food. When I went there, a butcher was outside grilling tri-tip for the counter. Inside, there were nice veggies, and a good selection of organics. They had some really nice grass fed beef, and a good craft brew section. I went in there to find all the items for a cauliflower cevice and they had it all. They did not have a lot of different types of bread, but for the size of the store it was pretty good. On the way out I saw a nice Kombucha display. The only think I can say is the price was a little spendy, but given the lack of upper end markets in the area, this is a good one, and I would even drive down from Pasadena as a slightly quicker/ cheaper option from the Whole Foods there on Arroyo Parkway.

This store is just what the neighborhood needs. A decently priced, quality alternative to the Whole Foods, or the supermarkets in the area, which can lack in healthier options. The butcher is great, theres BBQ and a coffee shop in here, plus lots of great variety in beer and products offered. A little more expensive than something like Superior, etc, but to me, worth it. Also, they have great food trucks occasionally, and thats also awesome and convenient.

Tiene sus precios muy caros y son precios que en otra tienda valen la mitad de lo que ellos cobran en realidad nos vendría mejor una tienda Food for less Sería muy bueno para la comunidad de bajos recursos

Great gem of a local market. SUPPORT LOCAL PLACES LIKE THIS! Caring owners, the nicest most amazing staff, nice variety of groceries, have fun and unjique boutique items, coffee amd juice bar are wonderful. They smoke ribs and bbq outside for the deli counter. The neighborhood has a Free Little Library inside Fresco by the coffee bar and it serves as a neighborhood hub. Food trucks on Monday and Thursday nights.

The african-american man with glasses who I think is the manager here is very rude. He acts very aggressive towards customers and does not seem to enjoy his job. I saw one customer try to return beer that he had just bought that was past the expiration date and the man raised his voice and yelled at him that he should have check the date first. How unprofessional! I thought they were going to get into a fight.

I totally appreciate the free parking. Sounds like a simple thing to appreciate, but I do. I had to purchase a whole bunch of items and there was no way I was gonna walk or bus it home. Has just about everything youd expect from a typical Fresco Community Market, though I dug the section devoted to pickles. Narrow little path to get to the checkouts but its just wide enough to fit a cart through.

This place is a huge disappointment. We bought several things today, the tomatoes had no flavor to them... The Digorno Pizza was disgusting, maybe they should keep pizza in a enclosed freezer, then it wont be so soft and gross.... To top it all off its beyond over priced. I rather driver several minutes further and save $$$ and get quality food then come back here again.

This is a very large neighborhood market that carries uncommon, gourmet, quality brands. Theres a full deli with prepped eats and sandwiches, as well as a wide spectrum of meats. The coffee shop in here is quite cozy and carries some baked goods. Service is usually very good here.

This is my local market and I love it. Truly independently owned and operated. The staff and I know each other by name. They stock what their customers request at very competitive prices. Everyone should be lucky enough to have a place like this.

Unique food items you dont often see at other markets. If you dont see what you are looking for, let them know and they usually will order it for you. Lots of personal services behind the delivery and coffee counter.

This place cant figure out if its a Sprouts or a Ralphs. It never seems to have exactly what youre looking for, and everything is marked up a lot. The only redeeming aspect is its beer selection, which is superb.

Well, its no secret, the guys at Fresco Community Market are the nicest. They really care about their customers (and their customers dogs, always gives mine a treat). 4 stars just cause I think theyre stars!

jim rose

Bit pricey, but its the only place for miles around that sells decent quality items. Outstanding beer selection! Always seems kind of quiet when I go there, just hope that doesnt mean it wont last.

Zara Leventhal

Good grocery store with standard selection of items catering towards health-oriented, organic-eating folk. Its a bit overpriced, however, and prefer going to Trader Joes.

Alejandro Valencia

The space has seen tenants come and go for a while but Fresco has lasted. It stocks stuff different than your garden variety supermarket. The beer selection is good too.

Alex Bowman

They are doing their best to bring fresh foods to a community while trying to change to world. Definitely the best market in that location in the last 20+ years

Dennis Park

Great local market with a decent selection of organic food and BEER...produce can use some work though. Super friendly employees-- awesome experience.

Frank Schenker

Lots of variety, lots of fresh products, coffee and smoothie bars, newsstand, foodtruck on Thursdays, great community and neighborhood integration

James Watson

Cross between Trader Joes and Whole Foods but way more personable. A real community market with a great coffee and hangout area.

Anthony Inchaustegui
