I bought a pack of tortillas from this store on may 31,2025 for a party I have at my house , and when I got home and opened them, they were already moldy -- clearly expired or improperly stored.
My guests noticed them . I went back to the store today June 02,2025 , they were rude in top of that and refuse to do anything about it. I personally don't care about them being rude but my concern is the safety of people buying from there when they don't care about safety matters for customers .
Very disappointed with the quality control. Food safety should be a priority.

Think twice before buying from this store .

This combination international grocer, produce stand, butcher shop, bakery, restaurant is pretty awesome despite it's modest appearance and slightly "off the beaten path" location. Definitely worth walking around in it's entirely but an excellent, zero-risk spot to stop and grab baked goods to impress guests and hosts alike. Make a hard right turn upon entering and go straight to the bakery counter. Everything is fresh and visually stunning at quite modest prices. Enjoy!

Crown Valley Market is a quaint little shop that, while a bit on the smaller side, has some unique offerings worth mentioning. However, I must say that my overall experience was a mix of highs and lows.
Let’s start with the highlight: the freshly made Sangak bread. I can’t recommend it enough! This traditional Persian flatbread is made right on-site and is indeed to die for. The texture is perfect—crispy on the outside with a soft, warm, and slightly chewy interior. It pairs wonderfully with so many dishes and is worth making a trip for if you’re craving fresh bread. If you happen to be in the area, do yourself a favor and pick some up; you won’t regret it!
That being said, when it comes to the rest of the offerings at Crown Valley Market, there’s definitely room for improvement. The prices for produce and meats are pretty standard, and honestly, I found it hard to justify driving out of my way for items that I could easily find at larger grocery stores for similar or better deals. In fact, I was hoping to snag some great bargains, especially on meats, but I was disappointed to find that there weren’t any significant offers.
If you're local or simply passing through, definitely stop in for the Sangak, but perhaps keep your expectations in check for the rest of the offerings. Overall, while I appreciate the charm of this small market, I wish they had more competitive pricing and variety to make it a go-to destination beyond that delicious bread!

I love their fresh spices, amazing tea selections, and fresh baked goods. The produce is great and you can find stuff that you won't find it your regular grocery store. The prices are excellent.

Some products were not fresh, we talked to the manager and were told bring them back, after driving for 20 minutes they refused to take one item back. I consumed the product when was purchased and got stomach upset, I think it is time for the food department to check them for freshness and safety of the food. It is not a good customer service when we as customers show loyalty but unfortunately the store managers don’t take care of their customers.

Persian and Asian food and produces at low price. There is a fresh Sankga bread maker on site, good fruits selection, too. The only thing I don’t like is this market is so clustered, narrow isles, freaking single door entrance and exit…

Today March 18 at about 10am, went to this store to buy Iranian Sangak bread, and I encountered a horrible situation with bakery attendant, arrogant, rude, and absolutely no manners. He was Spanish individual with limited English using hand very abusive gestures (like go, go live).
I was second in Queue. I asked for 3 whole-wheat Sangak. Before they give me my order, there was another Iranian who was wearing a Hospital bracelet. He told me that his wife is in hospital and he was in rush go back to hospital. After knowing this I asked him to take my turn. He got 3 bread and when I ask for 3, the baker very rudely like shouting go away just because I allowed another person come ahead of me.
I went to store manager and Complained about the behavior of the baker. He was also Spanish speaking person and asked me to come down, and told the baker to give me my order. He told the manager yes, but after he left he shouted at me that no bread for you and when replied you just told your Boss and you must give me the breads, ho shouted loudly again and he told every the bakery is shut down and all come back later.
In my 80 years life this was the most horrible experience.

The best place for all types of European food and delicacies. The staff are all so very helpful and everyone seems to speak 27 languages. I got sauerkraut imported from Poland there. They make fresh Sangak Bread daily. The produce is so fresh and well priced. Love this place!🏆
