Barons Market Point Loma

Best little grocery store ever! Been going since about 2005. I'm a strict vegetarian who prefers organic and all natural products, and me inside Barons is just like a kid in a candy store! Better quality than Trader Joe's and also therefore, much more expensive... but they do have less pricey versions, comparable to traditional grocery stores, both brand and price... there's something for everyone, except a junk food nut. Staff is always fast and friendly.

Always clean. Prices can be a bit outrageous at times, but they have a great hot and cold bar. If you're into olives, the olive bar always looks fresh. That makes it worth it. I've always had a friendly cashier, and they do a great job keeping the line moving. It's one single file line, so you never have to make the tough choice of trying to figure out which line is going to move the fastest. Don't you hate when you pick the line with the least amount of people, but then someone pulls out their checkbook to pay, and they can't find a working pen. Or another person gets one thing with no price tag and is an item from the other side of the store. Then the cashier has to call the manager over to explain it. They never hear it all on the first go. Now you've seen everyone that was in the line you should have chosen outside in their cars, and now new people are getting in that line. Well, Baron's saves you from that frustration. There's a few tables outside for you to eat at if you like. It's a parking lot, so not the best view but nice enough if you need a few minutes to yourself before getting home to your noisy children or unhappy spouse. I often drop my car off at the car wash across the street, walk over, and do my shopping. It's a very peaceful store.
