Amazing sandwiches. During nice weather it is fun to sit out back. If it was not a 15 minute drive for me I would be here at least a few times per week. The staff was friendly and checked on us several times.

Went with my wife. She was referred by a blog she read. It was a fun experience. My wife is into crafting and she loved the environment of the store. Though I am not a crafter, it was still fun for me to look at their displays. We were surprised that their prices were pretty comparable to what we were used to so we make a few purchases while we were there.

Their reasons why I like this place. The first being that they provide a healthy alternative to the typical convenience foods. I have never had a meal there that I didn't enjoy completely. I get the same response when I take friends with me for lunch.

Second to that the staff does their best to call you by name if they know it and always greet you pleasantly. They're so quick to help and provide suggestions based on what you're looking for. I am never left wondering around for very long.

Because they are pretty conveniently located it makes it easy for me to just stop in to grab lunch and head back to work. Their lunch specials are just the right size not too much food but enough to keep you content until dinner. The quality and taste of the food is always top notch. I have yet to purchase any produce or any "groceries" to take home but from what I've seen the quality is top notch there as well.

I love the fact that they post what is available for lunch on their Facebook page. It makes it easy for me to check what is available which usually leads to me driving down there for a to-go lunch.

You can tell that they don't just hire anyone to work there they understand that their staff is a representation of their name. Though they do get busy at times, when it is your turn you get their undivided attention.

I'm glad that we have a place like this in town, though there are a lot of other wonderful places to eat it is great to have another one for me to frequent. I'm always referring people to visit for lunch or for assistance with a healthier alternative.

Great work Greens Market!

I have been struggling to find a good Chinese place near my house. I have no idea why I had never thought of East China Town. The food was great and the service was top notch. Dining in or taking out, I will be back for sure. Glad to have finally made it in. I am sad that I have been missing out all of these years.

The yogurt industry has seen a lot of new faces over the last few years. I have been a Yogurt Mill customer since I was young. Now that I live closer to the Oakdale location, my family frequents this location. The staff is always friendly, they work fast and accurate. I appreciate the fun and friendly atmosphere they have worked hard to keep alive all of these years. I love the fact that they always have new flavors. It forces me to try new things and not get stuck ordering the same thing. I like being able to order by size as opposed to the weight your own cup model of these newer yogurt shops. Ordering a Small or Mini makes me feel better about myself than when I see how much it weighs. ;)
Keep up the good work Yogurt Mill!

As a previous Salon Beleza client of Deanne Cowell's, when Mena and Co opened up, I followed Deanne to the new location. Deanne has been doing my hair for a few years now and she also does my wife's hair. Deanne is very meticulous and makes sure everything is right. She enjoys what she does and you can tell in every haircut or style she does. We even took our newborn to her when he was about 10 months old for his first haircut and she did an amazing job. He has now had 3 little trim sessions by her so far and she does such a good job with him.

I am a photographer and have recommended Deanne to many of my clients. She does the styling and makeup for my high school senior portrait sessions and the girls always love her work.

I have no problem referring my friends and clients to Deanne because I know that she takes her job very seriously and makes sure her clients only get the best she has to offer.

If Deanne moved salons again, my family, my clients and myself would follow. Thanks Deanne for your passion for good hair!

Mr Pickles

Here is why the Modesto Mr. Pickle's locations are top notch. First of all, when you walk in you are welcomed by the entire staff. If the owner is there, chances are he is going to remember you, even if it has been many months since your last visit. I was just in this last Saturday for a quick lunch and the owner remembered me, my wife and baby even though my wife and baby were not with me. It had been at least 6 months since I had seen him, and I don't think we are Facebook friends.

Over the years as I have frequented Mr. Pickle's locations in Modesto there has always been consistency in quality and friendliness. Even when they have a line out the door and should be stressed out, they are still kind.

I often order the Manhattan on sliced wheat bread. I love a warm pastrami sandwich and Mr. Pickle's never disappoints. I highly recommend visiting if you are in the mood for a good sandwich and friendly service.

The deli is a must! I often stop by the deli for a fresh sandwich during lunch time. I always get the same sandwich and it never disappoints. The deli staff are always enjoyable to talk to while they work on my food. You can tell that others share my sentiment because during the lunch hour there is always a line. I try to either beat the lunch rush or hold off until after to avoid having to wait. Regardless of how busy they get, the sandwich is always amazing and made with care. I have been visiting that deli since I was a child. Many of our weekend events would start with a trip to O'briens to pick up sandwiches for lunch. They were great 25 years ago and still are today. My wife, who also grew up near O'briens as I did considers their deli sandwiches a treat as well. Two sandwiches are often an impromptu picnic must for us.

Keep up the good work deli department.

btw, make sure to get s sandwich punch card. You get your 10th sandwich free.

Food is always great and fresh. There are many chinese food options in Modesto and some are well below the acceptable level. The service is always great. The staff is friendly and helpful with making decisions for trying something new. Now that my office is a short walk from them I get take out often.
