New Leaf Community Markets - Half Moon Bay - Half Moon Bay, California

The quality of most products in this store is very impressive. Unfortunately, who in the world can afford to buy from them on the daily basis unless you have a temporary help from credit card companies. It is very expensive to shop here just like in Whole Foods Market. I would come here again only in case of emergency or no more than twice a month. Also, in this exciting and beautiful city, especially now, it should be opened 24 hours, but it is not. In addition, there are not any long lines in the cashiers' areas. The store is relatively empty. Safeway supermarket would be better choice, one person opinion. It has always something that is very healthy. Nevertheless, it is not cheap out there either, but cheaper than here. Because it is cheaper in Safeway, the lines to pay for your purchase could be a horror. However, i would rather stay in line extra time in Safeway than to pay huge for overpriced products here.

What Whole Foods used to be when it was a wholesome store. This is a huge store to fulfill a foodie's whim and wish, although the baguette choices were disappointingly narrow. Allow more than a few minutes to explore this store! Fresh coffee and juice/smoothie bar, lots of individual-sized packaged health-oriented snacks and prepared foods. So far there are only 4 locations all in the northern area of California. Maybe an up and coming stock to invest in when it goes public on the exchange?

Really friendly staff & great selection of healthy, sustainable living focused foods, drinks & grocery. It would be great to see more vegan options (beyond meat burger only available 1 day per week at the deli).

As usual there are a lot of plastic containers, it would be great to see alternatives such as fill up your own containers. There is a little of this, but washable plates, bowls & cups for eat-in would be less wasteful.

Also would be great if more products sold in bulk (bring or buy reusable containers) to get away from overuse of single-use plastic packaging on fruits, chips, cookies, etc.

Quality of products, health foods & supplements is top-quality featuring many local goods.

Really cute store, pretty expensive for a grocery store, but then again this is in Half Moon Bay! Very similar to Whole Foods if you're into that sort of thing!

Huge array of food, fresh produce, sandwiches, salads, baked goods. Friendly staff.

Large parking lot with 3 ♿️ parking spots up front.

Small tables outside for eating.

Today I ordered some fresh green beans in my InstaCart order at New Leaf. When I opened the bag of 3 lbs. of green beans, I noticed there were some brown ones. So, as I started to sort through them, I started to realize almost all of them had brown stains on the skin. After going through some I also realized they smell like rotting veggies. so, I through away over 3 lbs of green beans. InstaCart refunded the $13 of cost, but now I have to find fresh beans at another store. Good I have two days to get this done.
Sad to think someone picked these beans and felt they were ok. The smell alone made me throw them away
Very disappointed with New Leaf to even have these beans on the produce section for purchase.

Plenty of parking. Spacious grocery. Appears to be organized and well run. Discounts throughout. Vegan fare readily available at Deli. Not sure if this was the exception, lucky day or otherwise. Very good management factoring the movement. Customer service friendly. Well grown and lively produce and local as well. I would recommend a bit more attention with creating vegan 🥕 cake, buns or something in bakery. Nothing could be found or I may had missed. Juice and coffee bar built-in.

This is the best market in Half Moon Bay. The selection is great, though a little expensive. The juice bar is out of this world with the best barista on the west coast. Calypso will serve your favorite healthy beverage with a smile, a joke and a loving signature on your cup. Highly recommended.
