Cutsforth’s Market

My boyfriend keeps talking about this place and I needed to get something on the way back from stopping by his house so I said «let’s stop here». It was a very nice store, and I could see myself shopping here if I lived here. It is out of my way in general, but really good to know about! Nicely laid out, reasonably priced items, etc… I can totally see why my boyfriend loves to shop here. Better than Safeway or Alberstons!

I’m a widower, but even though I’m a good cook, I just don’t have the time to cook as often as I like. But I can’t live on fast food. And that’s where Cusforth’s comes in.
Over by the deli is a case with prepared meals. Homemade food. A variety of entrees that changes. They have a teriyaki chicken dish that’s great, and a meatloaf to die for. Enchiladas, burritos, and tamales make regular appearances, as do beef stroganoff, roast pork, and BBQ ribs. Each entrée comes with a starch and/​or vegetable as appropriate so you have a complete meal.
Then there’s the salad bar. Oh, my, the salad bar. I can’t think of anything that’s missing from the salad bar. They keep it stocked and fresh, and clean, too.
The hot soups are another highlight. Up to four different soups each day. They do a good job of keeping a good mix of selections. The tri-​tip beef soup is a special recipe that’s very popular. My favorite is the split pea soup, which is way better than I could make at home.
I also love their sandwich grill. The best New York Reuben you’ll find outside of New York!
The bakery is amazing, too. You’re not going to find better donuts anywhere. The sheet cakes are amazing, too.
Head over to the other side of the store, and their produce department is better than any farmers market, and it’s there every day! Lots of local produce, and the out-​of-​season stuff that has to be trucked-​in is the best you’re going to find anywhere in the area, too.
It’s a tough world out there for locally-​owned supermarkets. Some survive by finding one niche. Others survive by turning-​up the snob appeal. But Cutsforth’s survives by doing a great job in every department, and staffing their store with the best teams you’ll ever find in the grocery business. And I haven’t even mentioned the meat, wine, floral, pizza, BBQ or regular grocery departments. You just aren’t going to find a better grocery store anywhere.

After a really bad experience at a local butcher shop, I went to Cutsforth market meat department and ordered a variety of meats freezer wrapped. The young lady at the meat counter took my order and told me she would have it ready for me later in the day. I recieved a call from her about an hour later indicating it was ready for me to pick up.
This is quite honestly the best store in Canby. They have a great understanding of customer service and work very hard to earn my business!

Best grocery store in town. We feel spoiled with such an amazing place to shop and eat in Canby. They have great options for organic and gluten free foods. A great bulk foods section. Sushi for a quick fix. We love the exceptional salad bar and hot foods for a quick meal. They are really trying to make this a special place and doing a great job at supporting the local community. The staff is always pleasant and willing to help or order something you need!

the best grocery store for food allergy shoppers! i found so many unique gluten free snacks, potato chips w avocado oil, saltines made with olive oil etc. absolutely thrilled w the selection and the staff goes above and beyond on customer service. i wont be shopping anywhere else!

We recently moved to Canby and have tried all the stores. This one has a great selection of local produce and a huge bulk foods section. Free cookies for your kiddos while you shop, and their deli is amazing.

Ah, Cutsforth’s, how do I love thee? Let me ramble about it…
Service – from Joan’s, John’s and Ben’s friendly smiles and conversations at checking to Mike’s helpful advice in the deli, to the wine testings and suggestions, to the fresh fish and meat counter intelligence to Frank Cutsforth’s calming, dear presence, this market helps make Canby a sweet, happy place to live. Really. Hard not to feel good shopping here, where everyone knows your name (but not in a creepy, corporate way like Safeway’s marketing at check out).
Atmosphere – clean, well-​spaced aisles, well-​shelved and stocked goods. The produce and floral departments are my favorites, but the deli, wine, natural foods, and meat departments are awesome, too.
Offerings – don’t see what you want? Check in with customer service, and they’ll contact you when it’s available – usually within a week. Don’t get me wrong – they carry a lot, but if there’s something I found in Whole Foods or New Seasons that Cutforth’s doesn’t offer, CM will go out of their way to get it for me. Really appreciate that.
Community-​center mindedness – one of the perks of living in a small town is the sense of community, and CM exudes that sensibility in the best manner possible – the notice boards feature current, cool happenings in Canby. Yes, Canby. There’s an easy way to contribute to local schools: CM provides an easy to access space at the front of their store to donate cans and bottles, with the proceeds going to the local school district. They hire and train local youth to work in their store. It’s hard for me to think of Canby without linking Canby to Cutsforth’s because the business and the Cutforth family contribute so much to Canby’s community.
It’s always a pleasure coming here – it is, as Tim S. mentioned in his 6÷17÷2012 review, «an oasis.»

Tri tip sandwich from the deli was great!!! Smoked perfectly with bbq sauce and creamy horseradish. Home made mac salad was wonderful as well.

This review is for the bakery department. I will start off by saying their cakes truly are delicious. There is no denying that. Pink champagne, banana, all of them – wonderful. And the prices are really competitive, especially for the quality.
Why the low rating then? Because of the lack of quality in the attention to detail. I ordered my wedding cake from here, and after having a sit-​down with one of their staff, going over design ideas (we were going with a tree decoration), Cody brings out an example of the leaves they have been using. It was a neat maple leaf with the colors swirled through it (reds, browns, etc.). Really looked like an autumn leaf.
What leaves did we get? Unattractive pointed oblong leaves that were bland, single-​colored and alternated between poop-​brown and muted-​wine. The color designs & shapes were NOTHING like they showed us. It is one thing if they didn’t quite capture some photo we were asking them to recreate. But when they specifically SHOW us real examples of what they do, and we say, «Yes! That is perfect, we want exactly that!», and they fail to deliver on that?
Poor form, I say.
In the grand scheme of things, our wedding cake is not such a big deal, but it truly is one of those one-​time things in life, and this bakery’s failure to follow-​through and maintain clear documentation lead to them dampening a key moment in life.
Poor form, indeed.

Maple Bars! The best doughnut you will eat! The store is full of friendly employees. The Cutsforth Family cares about the community of Canby. Canby wouldn’t be the same without Cutsforth’s.

Updating my rating based on recent experiences here… much better. I hope they keep it going.

Love Cutsforth’s. Love being able to support a local business whose owners give so much back to the community. On top of that, in terms of quality products and atmosphere, this is THE BEST grocery store in town, period.
The deli is awesome and the highlight of the store. It might actually be one of the better places to eat out in town! Though it is not on their deli menu, every morning they make biscuits and gravy from scratch that are incredible. Huge hunks of sausage and perfectly seasoned gravy. The hamburgers made to order are excellent and so is the salad bar. The take and bake pizza made fresh has a unique sauce that I really like.
I try to buy all my groceries here. It is true that it may be a little more expensive than F.M., but can you really expect a family run business to compete with that corporation? Cutsforth’s also treats it’s employees very well. Many of them have worked there most of their lives and there is not a question that stumps them. I really don’t understand why anyone in Canby would shop anywhere else.

This review is for the bakery department. They make the BEST cakes and cupcakes I’ve ever tasted from a grocery store bakery. I have had many a grocery store cake over the years for various birthdays, etc. and their cake doesn’t taste like it came from a grocery store. Simply fantastic!

This is my favorite grocery store in Canby for several reasons:
— Outstanding customer service
— Their produce is superb and allows for local options
— The Mexican grill and self serve foods are very good.
— The meat department is well stocked and has higher quality meats than fred Meyer/​Safeway.
— The beer section is unreal!
— My favorite is the Deli counter, so many cheeses and meats! Plus the staff is really helpful.
— Everyone is very nice and they pack your bags right.

My mother shops here every weekend because this place supports the community. Everyone that works here is very nice and there is a great selection of deli items. Check the expiration dates on your groceries though. Otherwise I will say that this place is great.
Recently I tried one of the burritos you can get made for you at the deli. For $ 6 these are wonderful!

A great grocery! The staff are friendly and helpful. They really get to know you. The selection is great and if they don’t have what you want, they’ll find it for you next time. It’s a real personal experience and I love that.

Cutsforth’s definitely has the flavor of a local small town grocery store. The cashiers are always friendly and I’ve never had a bad experience when I worked in Canby.
The new Mexican Grill was a nice added touch, to go along with their BBQ and self serve salad area. The selections for hot food is real good. It also has a café when you walk in to order coffee, bagels, etc. for the morning.
You will often see cashiers recognize and talk to their long-​time customers, and the townspeople in the morning meeting up for the coffee at the café.
Cutsforth’s is a classy place and brings you back to the past.

This review is for the bakery only. Every cake we have had has been delicious and they continue to impress with our most current purchase. The cake was extremely most. This is the place to go in Canby for cake.

This is an oasis! Stay away from the corporate chains and check out this family run operation. It’s been run by the Cutsforth family since 1928, and someone from the family is always available.
The prices are good, as is the selection. Of particular interest to me is the beer and wine selection! You won’t find a better beer set anywhere! Find highly rated beers from local artisanal and international brewers.
The wine selection, while offering all the basics you would expect, includes great import and local Micro-​winery offerings.
This is one store that deserves your support!

I swear, this trip has been spent shopping and cooking for 8. 8 is definitely enough and after this afternoon, I have had enough of 8. I am ready again for just 3.
Anyway, on my last grocery adventure of ’08 we came to Cutsforth’s. Nice grocery store with something I had never seen before. A spice counter where you can measure just enough spice for a specific recipe or reason. Genius I say. No need to buy a whole bottle of some random spice you will only use once that gets old and stale. Freaking genius I say! The butcher was very helpful and the prices for some things were better than Fred Meyer too.
