Raley’s

I called the bakery to place an order for a birthday cake. Apparently for the last three years they don’t take phone orders by phone anymore as cakes must be prepaid. Okay that’s fine, However I have gotten cakes for my kids the last three years by Raleys Bakery. And I called in each order and paid when I got there. Strange… Oh well as I need cake tomarrow and don’t have time to go to the store to order I’m calling Safeway.

My husband and i love this store, especially the deli. The deli manager and Kirk have always been extremely friendly and helpful. Also, any time either of us have a question for the pharmacist he always goes out of his way to answer any questions and helps us to get the best item for our needs even if it something silly like a sunburn or canker sore. Not to mention all of the cashiers are quick and friendly. Overall great store!

Love all the salads. The deli always offers samples to anyone of anything. Can’t beat that.

Absolutely terrible store director/​manager. We’ve had a few issues at this store, and have let them go. But today we had another one and the male director/​manager didn’t give us the time of day. Was told on a previous occasion by him that there was no reason to complain to corporate because the complaints would just come to back to him. He was right, lol. But needless to say this store will be a LAST resort spot from now on. We don’t feel valued as customers at all.

First of all please allow me to say that I Love this store. My house is literally a couple blocks away and myself and my Family have been coming here since 03. Mike, Sal, Catrina, the whole deli and produce staff they are all amazing. Yesterday I’d gone to the E.R. and found out I’ve quite a large cyst in my abdomen, I’m in a lot of pain. I was prescribed meds to tide me over until I Am able to have it removed. With residual loopiness due to medication given me in the Emergency room I’d decided it was not best to drive on base to get my meds and thought Hey Raley’s has a pharmacy. My Mom volunteered to go for me as it is painful for me to walk. I called ahead to find what all she may need to bring with her to pick it up for me. When I was connected to the Pharmacy, Rodney answered. I told him the situation and he sounded very irritated and told me I’d have to go to my own pharmacy to pick up any pain medication. When I asked him why, confused, he asked me what kind of medication, so I went to get my prescription to tell him and apparently my cheek hit the button on the phone as I was holding my prescriptions and had the phone on my shoulder. Rodney raised his voice obviously frustrated with myself or possibly the world I am unsure and told me I was pressing buttons in his ear and he couldn’t hear anything. I told him, «That’s okay, I’ll just go somewhere else.» And hung up. I then called Walgreen’s and told them the same situation and they said my Mom just had to have her i.d. and verification of address. I then called back to speak with Rodney to try to rectify the situation because my Mom doesnt drive and I didnt want her walking ¾ of a mile there and then back. I also wanted to know why he said I would not be able to pick up my meds from there. He said, «Well, I was trying to tell you, but you kept pressing buttons in my ear and then you hung up – » I was trying to speak to him to tell him, I didn’t know, you know how these smart phones are plus I was dingy from my pain meds. I mean I have a cyst the size of a tennis ball in my abdomen. I don’t know if it’s cancerous or benign or what. So our whole family is a bit stressed right now, but still trying to remain in good spirits. Rodney, would not let me speak, so much so that my Mom (Jean) took the phone from me and said; «What’s your name?» He said Rodney. She replied; «That’s all I want to know.» Then handed me back the phone. Rodney could be a nicer person especially in his role in Pharmacy hopefully he will be in the future. but we Love Love Love Raley’s and everyone else!

I love my neighborhood Raleys ! I can go there, visit Audrie at the bank, ask Robert to help me pick the best of a produce I’m not great at picking out, go see Lenore, Rodney, Rachel in Pharmacy, and my son can visit… Then beg me for seafood, before we pay and go home. With help loading the car, from any of the super sweet young ladies who bag. I always have EVERYTHING done on my list, my kids have a cookie from the bakery, and NO ONE minds my youngest (whose 6yo and on the spectrum) trying to get a job there. The bank usually helps with an extra lollipop for both, that they get AFTER reaching the car. DEFINATELY a store to go to and pay at the «kid friendly-​no candy) line tops it!
This is SUCH a family friendly store!!! I go in stressed with 5 things on the «To Do List» and leave? DONE!!!

Very clean! Top notch staff and they do know the products this store stocks. If you can’t find it don’t hesitate to ask. This one of my favorite places to shop for groceries.

I love raleys. I almost freaked out today when I went shopping and saw an ownership or liquor license posted in the Vacaville store. I hope they are not leaving. It’s such a great place to shop. Been shopping there for almost 20 tears

Very nice grocery store which is always clean and organized. Perhaps the best part though is the self checkout which keeps lines moving and reduces the time you spend in line greatly.

My local grocery store. They are a little pricey on certain items that I can get cheaper at Walmart but the extra cents I spend here is worth not having to deal with «the people of Walmart» or the drive to Walmart. I know that sounds very snobbish but it’s true… and you know it .
They have self check out. Don’t forget your coupons.
The times I chose to stand in line I have never had to wait long. Always great customer service.

I would rate it a zero but there is no zero option.
Custom cupcake was a disaster, asked for a cupcake with red frosting for my 7yo boy and gave us a pink frosted cupcake, staff at the bakery even tried to cover herself by saying that it’s their shade of red.
Pls have staff undergo a vision test coz it seems that she is color blind and made a pink cupcake for a boy.

Very friendly staff been coming here a long time always what I need great bakery and deli department as well

A great grocery store with easy in/​out access from two streets. Brightly lit with a friendly staff. The aisles are always well-​stocked and clean.
A great place to shop whether it’s for produce, meat or dry goods.

I normally like to shop here, but had a bad experience with their meat department last week. I went in late, looking for some steaks. Found some top sirloins that looked nice, but turned out really tough. Guess I’ll buy my steaks from another store next time.

I love Raleys! Their fruits and veggies are usually extremely fresh and delicious! I live about 3 mins away so whenever I need something, I can just drop by and get what I need!
Their beauty products aren’t bad. They have 1 wall of makeup and nail polish, but that’s it. I still get their beauty products though, because they are cheap, and they actually work.
They have such a large range and variety of food. They have food like frozen entrees, to chips, to pasta, to EVERYTHING!
I love their Christmas stuff! It seems like they had more in 2012 than in 2013 though… But I still even pulled off a few gifts by buying different stuff and putting them together. They always have baskets and boxes for the holidays. Like Easter, Xmas, and everything else. I love it!
The bathrooms are very clean, and so are the floors. Ever time I go, I see a person mopping each of the aisles going up and down. It’s nice to know that the environment where I’m going to buy my food is clean.
I’ve been going to Raleys since I was a child and I love it. I know everyone and they know me, so we can chat. I definitely recommend this Raleys!

Was I too hard on you Raleys? MMMM… Maybe just a tad! Yes the transition was very stressful, and darn right annoying, but you’ve surprised me. I’m starting to love you again Raleys. The biggest turn around for me was when I saw it. I saw it, and was amazed! You. You did it! You started selling wheat grass. I drink it everyday thanks to the Nutrition Shoppe, and Jamba Juice, and yes I plan to grow my own, but in the meantime I can now head over to your store, and buy a new patch of wheatgrass to juice on my own. Thank You Raleys!

Sucks that they’re on the other side of town (from where I live) because I love their bakery area!
This place reminds me of a Safeway or Lucky’s with more natural foods selections. Their prices are hit and miss. Some things are kind of expensive, but I honestly only purchase certain things from here (like bakery and deli items). There’s one baker lady that has a permanent frown on her face – I personally avoid her because she scares me.
The only thing that I have against this place is that their check out area is kind of awkward. (Reminds me of the way they have their check outs at Trader Joe’s).

Love this place! Try thier home made sandwiches in the deli. Their fully loaded potatoe sald is to die for.

I really like this store but it’s the pharmacy that really stands out. I’ve been using it for a few years and by now they know me and are familiar with my prescriptions and that is very important to me. They are always helpful and Mark the pharmacist is awesome. He gets things done. And he’s been such a Godsend to us over the last few years, when we have any kind of problem, he’ll find a way to help. I like the fact that I always deal with the same people. The last time I turned a prescription in to a technician I’d never seen before, there was a problem. But beside that, this is my pharmacy.
I don’t do my big shopping trips here, they are a little more expensive than Winco or Wal Mart. But I love this store, it’s got such a nice atmosphere and everyone is super friendly and helpful. I got my sons 1^st birthday cake there and they did a great job.

The hotel room I stayed in had no kitchen, so this is all about the Deli salads I got for lunch over a few days. I think my favourite would be to mix Chicken Fajita and Crunchy Vegetable, or Old Fashioned Chicken and Crunchy Vegetable. They all were pretty good, though.
CHICKEN FAJITA SALAD:
Very well seasoned, so it feels filling though there are no carbs.
LOADED POTATO SALAD:
With bacon and finely grated cheese. Good, but feels heavy after a while.
CRUNCHY VEGETABLE SALAD:
Broccoli stalks, carrots, sunflower seeds. I really liked where this was going, but, unfortunately, cranberries AND raisins made it too sweet after a few bites.
MOZZARELLA CAPRESE SALAD:
The mozzarella is not the shredded kind, but the bar-​shaped kind, sliced. Pretty good.
ANTIPASTO SALAD:
I think it was good, but there were two different-​coloured salami, and we weren’t sure if it was a different type, or the brown kind had gone bad, so we picked those out.
OLD FASHIONED CHICKEN SALAD:
The regular light mayonnaise-​y kind. Chicken was a bit dry, but that’s to be expected.
MANDARIN CHINESE CHICKEN SALAD:
I really liked how Ginger and Green Onion was what made this salad Asian. Sometimes, American «Asian» stuff just means it has a sweet sauce.
CLUB MEDITERRANEAN SALAD:
Shell pasta and pesto went well together. Not much else, though.
ARTICHOKE SALAD:
Unfortunately, what I remember most about this salad is spiral pasta in oil.
