Best deli in Napa, California (CA) 2025

I normally will ONLY do positive reviews and abstain from the negative trap, but I have to make an exception in this case. This is 100% my opinion based upon my experience(s) at this store. I have to give them 1 star to do the review--they don't allow zero or negative stars. Horrible store. Prices are just stupid at this point, and they go up more frequently than every week--particularly since the new ownership group took over, not that they were much better prior. These increases are way beyond the "covid" or "supply chain" excuse that has become so popular--this is about elevating profits post-purchase. The service is SLOW, understaffed 100% of the time, and most of their employees either don't want to be there or are miserable an buying time until they can retire and get out. Good luck getting a paper bag--it's plastic all the way, to save money--but the employees have been coached to lie about availability, fact is, they don't order because they cost more than plastic! Stock status is sparse and consistently unreliable. Your best hope is to do their work yourself, but they shut down the self-check out stations early, leaving no choice but to hit those horrible lines, that move slower than traffic on HWY 80 near the bay bridge. After 7 years, I've made my last trip, I'll see how Safeway does. Makes one feel anything but Lucky. ~Loren
