Review from R.A. P.

Ashworth's Market has been open since 1939. The Ashworth family used to also have a little cafe on the north side of the building and it has since been absorbed into the main market. When they sold it to a new owner, this neighborhood store was stagnating along with several other neighborhood markets as 7-Elevens were taking over that role but the new owner went to work to figure out how to set up his store better.
He succeeded! As time went along he further refined what would be stocked and where it would be placed. The 7-Eleven presence shrank in the CB-NB area while Ashworth's, now cleaned up and repainted, went on to gather more renown and profits than ever before!
Fried chicken and mojos...oh my they're good! Check out the humongous turnovers in the bakery case too. Need something to wash it down? The soda pop selection is outstanding and eclectic. Add in fresh meats, great ice cream and all the usual gotta-haves.
Ashworth's Market, started before World War II and going so strong that it will take World War III to have a chance to finish it off...LOL! -

From the outside, this rough looking, in the hood type spot looks uninviting. But you kind of have to be a local to know what's up with this place. Ashworth's has been "the last stop" on the 101 north commute for a long time. Meaning, lets get our drinks or snacks for the road here, instead of stopping in Reedspit or the other sad ass towns along the way.
They have a large hot food display that I have never encountered as being stale or old. Always fresh...not used to that. As Franny mentioned, they have a large selection of Umpqua Ice cream as well. This is the only place I know of that actually sells Black Licorice ice cream.
They also have a surprisingly decent beer selection. Which is nice, another reason I go here Vs Chevron or 7-11.
The place does look rough, but they have fresh food, a wide variety, fair prices, and friendly service. -

While I don't like risking my life to pull into the parking lot - it's pretty scary - it's always worth it, once inside. YUM! Don't go in when you've got the munchies though - they have entirely too many goodies to resist. It's a great place to pick up "picnic-makings" but make sure you've eaten first, or you'll wear it all the following week. I promise!

This market serves their local Umpqua ice cream -- some of the best ice cream I've had. And they don't skimp on the scoops. Last time I couldn't resist getting three flavors: peppermint (my all-time favorite), black licorice and rootbeer. I was heavenly stuffed afterward, and it was worth every bite. Very nice staff. And lots of other grocery items to choose from. Perfect for a quick run into town from the Dunes.
