One side of this place reminds me of a bed bath & beyond, where kitchenware items, jams, tea, candles and other items are sold - a little pricey for my taste. The other side is a grocery market with deli, cheese, bakery, ice cream, fresh meat and produce for sale. Since discovering this place, this has been our go-to grocery stop for fresh meat (chicken, bacon, pork and beef), deli & cheese and some other items. The price for fresh deli, meats and cheese is cheap per pound compared to what you would get at a brand name grocery store and it's much more fresh! It can get very crowded on a Saturday but the wait is never tooo terrible when you're waiting in line for deli, fresh meat or checking out- they're pretty good about moving the line along. You take a number for fresh meat, deli & cheese, but you have the option to place your order for deli and cheese at the computer and shop around. They place your order for pick up in between the cheese and ice cream shop.
Ice cream is creamy and probably the best price I've seen for homemade ice cream. I once ordered a small but that was more than I could finish so I downsized to a kid's size on my next visit - which was still more than I could finish.
This place also sells certain brand name items, not everything is manufactured by Walnut Creek - but items made by Walnut Creek tastes much better! There is a huge selection for baking products, candies and seasonings! I recently discovered their granola crunch and it's much more fresher than the Nutri grain crunch I purchased else where.
