Citrus Plaza Market - Citrus Heights, California

My #1 go-to Eastern European food market!
I've been shopping here since around 2000–2002, when we moved to CH. Even though I live nearby and we’ve had other similar stores in the area (and still have one big European supermarket close by), this is the place me, my family, and most of my friends choose.
They offer a great selection of foods from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Poland, and the Baltic countries—some imported, others made in the US or Canada. You can sample many items before you buy, which is a huge plus!
The recent renovation and expansion made it even better—more variety and some amazing pirozhki now too!
Only thing I wish they had is a little food court or café area, but everything else is top-notch.
A++++, 5 stars, 100%! The owner and the staff are always super friendly, nice and helpful.
P. S. Below is 📸 of what we can get here, either to prepare some Slavic dishes or already ready to eat

My sister stopped by and got this cake today on 12/24/2024. We were so excited to enjoy some cake with tea on Christmas Eve, only to find mold everywhere. Please do better. That’s disgusting!🤮

I absolutely loved this place! Better prices on a bunch of things than that giant "Russian", European store down the street on Greenback. I had no idea it was the best hole in the wall grocery store around there. Even saw Americans there! That should tell you something! Fresh produce! Really nice workers, they were sooo helpful and eager to help. It's rare to find. Full of kindness and joy and genuine intent to serve and assist. Immigrants from Ukraine! From a war zone! I was very pleasantly surprised! It's my new favorite place in the city, I'll definitely visit them when I fly in again? My auntie sells home grown spinach there. They love her to death and we're super thrilled to see her and give me some free pastry samples. Everything fresh was so delicious and all the dry goods were amazing! They had really great tea and dry herbal infusion options! They even had my favorite blueberry 🫐 chicory root power coffee substitute powder that is hard to find! And it looks tiny but once you go in there's a whole second section of the store in the back that goes sideways.
Go check it out and ask questions if you're looking for something specific to try or know what you want and can't find it.

Over the years, the quality of this establishment has declined. I purchased bologna that turned out to be expired; exactly one month to the day. The bologna was in a closed deli counter, so I myself did not handle it, otherwise, I would have seen the discoloration and date. It's unfortunate because it would be more expensive to drive back to be reimbursed, (with no guarantee that they actually would).

Do you want delicious European food? Especially treats from Ukraine? Look no further; Citrus Plaza Market will have it! Are you like me, a monolingual American but wanting to explore the foods of the world? No problem! Yelena and Igor speak English and so do the employees! They will kindly guide you to what you want to try. Also, give a donation to help Ukraine when you visit, it helps.

Very clean and nice store with lots of selection!

Great management and very nice people!

Met the owner as I was at a near by coffee shop today, he offered to and paid for my coffee!

Excellent tasty bread, fruit, smoked meats. I love the smoked herring and this tasty sunflower paste behind the counter on the back wall. There is so many different stuff to choose from. Very delicious food.
