Cookie Crock Market

What a gem of a supermarket. Small and well stocked and plenty of gluten free options.

great spot to stock up in cambria — great selection

This is a great place with almost everything you need to survive in Cambria at reasonable prices. Usually very friendly staff even though today I had a grumpy lady cashier :)

Enjoyed this market! Found and read the other reviews, I am very pleased with the selection from wines to produce! I found the staff to be very personable! I love the carry out service. Because the of reviews, I did bring my own bag. I’m happy there are stores that are doing their part to help the environment! This is my second trip to Cambria, first time to the Cookie Crock Market. The store has a small town feel (as it should being in a small town), with large city selections… not too much, just enough, and without the crowds! Pricing is comparable to stores such as Trader Joe’s. Next trip to Cambria, any grocery needs will be taken care of by The Cookie Crock Market!

Cool little store! Good mix of everyday essentials and unique foods. Surprisingly, the prices were lower than the Albertsons we normally shop at!

This is a great place to reup on supplies or pick up something you forgot while on vacation! Obviously this is no Walmart which is reflected in their prices. However, I never find that I pay a significant amount more than I do at my local Albertson’s. The parking lot is a bit tricky if you aren’t paying attention so read the signs and follow the arrows! You can purchase a paper bag for approximately 15 cents if you do not bring your own, otherwise expect to be juggling your items to your car. Service is spotty… its either fantastic or subpar but honestly, you’re probably not coming here for the customer service. Excellent selection of beer, wine and liquor! If you’re camping at San Simeon State Park, this is a great place to buy wood. Its around $ 7 a bundle with your choice of pine or oak.

Wow, this town is so cute I was taken aback at how rude the two cashiers were to us when we went to the checkout. Very unfriendly, hostile vibe.

Enjoyed variety of food available and courteous service of employees. I’ll continue to buy groceries when we’re in the area.

Small town store with lots of meats on sale the meat market service is great the customer service in the store is great

The Cookie Crock is a tiny little market in Cambria. Actually, I think this the only market in Cambria.
Regardless, it’s got that small-​town charm Safeway so sorely lacks. Lots of locals about, and there is a good amount of unique brands to be had here. It’s kind of pricy though, so buyer beware.

This market was recommended to us by our Air BnB host… and since he had steered us right on every other Cambria-​related suggestion during our stay (Red Moose Cookie Co! Robin’s!), who were we to argue?
We had purchased a great Chenin Blanc from Grey Wolf/​Barton Winery in Paso on our way in, and knew we were gonna take it back to Sac and open it for dinner when we got home after our long drive. Now, as good as just one tasty, somewhat lemony/​tart full bottle of wine sounds for dinner, we figured we’d hit up some place in Cambria before we hit the road (so we’d be good to go for dinner when we got home… see the method to my madness?)
Anyway, we found the market just fine; just remember you have to kinda go around (as in off Main St) to get to the parking lot and into the market. Once in, we headed to the deli for our meat and cheese to pair with our great wine. Surprisingly, the prices were totally reasonable… yay! I honestly expected more sticker shock, but the deli prices were no more than going to Nugget or Bel Air or what have you here in the Sac region.
We settled on the roast beef that was on sale for only $ 7.49 per lb… that is a GREAT deal, and yes it was on sale. I wanted to get a whole pound, but Hubby cautioned restraint (boo!). I had the last laugh, because that roast beef turned out to be sooooo yummy, that he wished he’d let me get the full pound. Ha! I felt vindicated. Also got a half-​pound of Tillamook Extra Sharp white cheddar, because Hubby loves him some really sharp cheese. I must add that the lady working the deli counter this particular morning was extremely nice and helpful :)
Upon checkout, we were offered the choice of purchasing a bag in which to put our groceries… yep, Cambria is waaaaay into the whole «environmental/​no plastic bags/​save water because of the drought» thing. The question kinda took me for a loop, because I hadn’t heard it before, but we all know it’s coming to the whole state.
Cookie Crock Market isn’t huge, but it’s the biggest market in Cambria that I could see, because there ain’t no supermarkets nearer than Morro Bay (15 – 20 miles?). They have a nice selection that’s not highway robbery prices, so I would not hesitate to return next time we’re in Cambria :)

Mediocre market, but it seems to be the only one in town. We are here on travel, but have been to Cambria (and this market) several times before.
I don’t think that they have an outstanding selection in regards to food/​snacks; however, the market does have a «small town» feel. The service is okay — not necessarily helpful, but kindhearted.

I think this is the only market in town.
Even though it is small in comparison to the average market these days, they carry enough to keep the locals supplied, and for us tourists, we can stock our motel fridge and secure some emergency snacks.
It was nice to see they had good quality stuff to choose from, even though limited, decent produce at decent prices, and even some unique brands that show they had pride in their business and appreciation of their clientele.

Great market for stocking up on goodies while on vacation in lovely cambria. It was very well stocked and very clean. Prices are reasonable and comparable to LA prices.

Great little market, you may not see it from the main street. Have all the essentials including beer, wine and a deli.

Glad we found this place. My family and I were looking for a small market to get some fruit and snacks for the beach. We drove past it once, because you can’t tell it’s a grocery store from the street. Once we found it, we were very pleased with the quality of the produce. Gladly had to pay 10 cents for a plastic bag. Wish more stores in America would start doing that. Good store to pick up a few items for your vacation.

My first time at a Cookie Crock Market, I really wasn’t expecting to find a good market in Cambria… but this place was great. They had everything we needed and the prcies were pretty good. The wine selection was good, with lots of local wineries.
They always had everything we needed when we had to run to the store for an item we had forgot to bring with us on vacation.
I would definitely come back here if I vacation in Cambria again…

Yes, this is a small town grocery with a bit higher prices than usual BUT they have local wines cheaper than the wineries!!! A good place to stock up if you don’t want to pay winery prices!
They had everything here that we needed to stock our mini fridge in our room with picnic snacks and guilty pleasures. ;)

Cookie Crock is a small town market. Every small town needs a market and the smaller, the more you’re gonna pay. But, it has a good food selection and even a good beer selection! The prices are higher than your everyday Vons, but that is to be expected. Important to note: BRING YOUR OWN BAGS! If you don’t you’ll be juggling your goods on the way out the door or buying one of their bags!
Oh, and make sure you go in and out the correct driveways! It’s one way!

As a tourist, this place provides a diverse selection of groceries and provisions you’ll need for your vacation.
Cookie Crock market is located in one of the newer looking building on a hill. reminds me of the smaller VONS stores.
Prices are what you would expect for this location, in this type of city.
Not sure if the locals go here or not, but who cares really? It’s nice.
