Save Mart

They are a bit expensive, but they have good service food and are open till midnight. Their deserts deli and fruit are fresh

Was checking out the local grocery store on a recent trip to the area, as I am looking to move and wanted to get an idea of the variety of food they offer in the vegetarian range.
The prices were decent and there was enough stuff to sustain the vegan in me. The staff was friendly and I could survive with this being my primary store.

The gorilla says:
«They have bananas.
Lots and lots of bananas!
I really like this place.»

More expensive than groceries in San Francisco, tada! :(This will sound obnoxiously city slickerish, but the only thing on my grocery list that was missing were: the quinoa and soy meatballs. However, I do not complain because– wow they have white miso. And that slushy frozen piña colada that comes in a bag (I recommend). 2 Redbox machines.
Customer service was awesome. According to the alcohol age check printed on my receipt, my birthday is 3÷3÷33.

Went here for the 1^st time yesterday and it is a nice store. It was a little warm out yesterday but as soon as I walked thru the doors I thought I was going to freeze, which is a good thing.
There were no lines, and the people in the bakery were really helpful, but didnt have much personality.
The store seemed to be fully stocked and was clean. The only thing was the restrooms (womens), they were clean but had a HORRIBLE smell. It smelled like bleach/​pine-​sol and dirty a**. I think maybe they should take some of the air fresheners off their shelf and put them in the restroom.

Haters are always gunna hate… but don’t let them fool you. This is a very nice grocery store with pritty much everything you would get in a real city. However the prices are way expensive.

This is the best thing that has happened to Coalinga. Before, save mart, there was no life! Now decent grocery shopping is available and civilization brought to Coalinga!

We stopped in here on our way through to I5. This seems like a nice enough supermarket. Big parking lot. Easy in and out. All the usual stuff… but whatever you do don’t get a sandwich from the deli unless you have plenty of time to kill.
We ordered three simple sandwiches… very straightforward stuff like ham and cheese with everything… no «leave this off» or «extra that». The counter guy said it’d be a couple minutes so we said okay and went off to get chips and cookies and what not.
We got distracted looking at wine (don’t bother… this is a beer and tequila town) … Came back about 15 min later and he had made ONE sandwich. We’re like… dude, we have to get on the road. So he called in backup and she was just as pokey and confused.
They were not busy. We had been the only customers when we first placed the order, and while I waited for the last sandwich… (I swear it took 10 minutes… my friend actually broke off and went to the front to pay for the other items so we could get out of there at the same time) …there were only maybe a couple other customers who had just walked up.
I dunno. Maybe they were both new. But just… don’t bother. The food wasn’t even tasty.
Fine for other stuff though, get yourself some snacks, maybe a prepacked Aram sandwich from the deli, some hummos and crackers… fruit… that sort of thing… and move on.
