Produce World

Produce world is now part of the meat market that was next door. Different layout and new owners but good service. Still fresh produce and now selling meat. They also do money transfers, have a Lotto machine and are phasing out the international foods focusing more on Hispanic and Latin food products. Check them out for your grocery needs.

It had been years since I've been to this store since I moved out of orange. I was recently on the area and stopped by and boy was I disappointed. The veggie selection just wasn't what it used to be. Most stuff was pre packaged on the counters. That's definitely not what I remember. Their selections were lot as they used to be. It was very disappointing.

Nope! I rarely do review updates anymore, but after stopping in here today, I had to. I do not want anybody to see my old review and think this place is awesome. I shopped at Produce World for probably 5 years and loved it. Produce was so fresh that one time I even brought home a live yellow jacket nestled in my romaine lettuce! They had the most amazing selection of fruits/veggies, some rare to find. The store was always bright and clean. They had a machine near the back where they made fresh juice, OJ was like $7 for a fresh 1/2 gallon and it was delish!They changed hands sometime before pandemic and I stopped in once after then, was not so impressed. They were starting to sell meat and other items. The selection didn't seem as good as it once was. Then full on lock down happened and I never went back.Today I went to Polka Deli across the street to get some pierogies and kielbasa and thought, "let's stop in and see if things are good again."THEY WERE NOT.I really thought I had walked onto the set of some scary horror movie! Was the Michael Myers Halloween theme song actually playing, or was it all in my head?? It was dark and dingy and super sketchy looking. The first row used to be loads of beautiful, healthy mushrooms. All kinds! Varieties I never saw anywhere else! Today it was a bunch of rotting, bruised apples. I made my way to the main aisle and could visibly see wilted lettuce, cabbages, and browning brussels sprouts from 6 feet away. I turned towards the potatoes, as I needed some russets. They were so small, like the size of kiwis. No way was I making baked potatoes with those! I did grab some green onions, they looked really healthy and nice. Gone are all the rare veggies and fruits they used to have. Now it's just a swap meet of citrus fruits that are going bad. I did want some cucumbers for juicing, 2 for $1. They were HUGE. I was happy. But then I looked closer and most of them were super soft and squishy and had massive dimples in them. I found 2 that looked OK and I headed to the register. This place used to have like 4 low rows of random pantry items. They have now added a bunch more rows so it's a cluster-F of high, tight, shelves filled with who knows what. I didn't explore. I wanted to get out before the serial killer that must be lurking in there got me!While I was standing in line, I saw the "Fresh OJ" station (the machine is gone) has been moved to the back left wall. The wall is dirty and gross looking. They have a sign for fresh OJ for $15.99!! No thank you!They now charge $0.50 for any card transaction (debit included) less than $10, so I paid it and went on with my day. Happy to get out unscathed. How this place is still in business is beyond me!!

I came to produce world in hopes of finding great fruit and vegetables. When I walked in immediately noticed it didn't look so pleasant but I thought ok no big deal. Started looking at different fruits and noticed some had began to go bad, there were lots of fruit flies and a piece of fruit that looked like someone had took a bite. I still tried to find something but unfortunately I was just met with disappointment.

I went there with my wife for the first time. This market has been around for years and I drove past many many times over the years. I was pleasantly surprised because it's a very clean, very organized store. I was very surprised not only by the variety of fruits and vegetables but the quality and freshness impressed me and the prices were less than or equal to what you find in major supermarkets. For example. I found softball size avocados for less the two dollars. They also had a huge dry herbs and spice section and a large bulk section of beans, peas, nuts, etc. They also had a large selection of Mideast specialty foods. They, obviously, lacks a meats section but I would definitely be back for the fresh fruit and vegetables.

Not a lot of produce variety when we stopped here. Any produce they did have was not too fresh. Prices weren't lower than regular store but they do carry other grocery items as well.I only saw one worker moving from the floor and back to checkout but she was friendly! Note; there is a fee for card payments under $10.

Very disappointed with this place. It used to be one of the best with the freshest fruits and vegetables. It is totally different now, new owners, wilted vegetables. Couldn't find anything to my liking so I bought a watermelon and oh boy it was basically white inside, no taste of watermelon. Ended up discarding the whole thing. What a waste of money and time. Will never be back there. Money down the drain

We need more grocery stores like Produce World. Fresh , great variety and most importantly nowadays.... Discounted! Most of the fruit and produce is up to 50% cheaper than the major chains. I noticed that other posts mention fresh juice but I didn't see any when I was there , it might not be available on Sundays?

good place to go if you do need to pick up a few quick things. Staff is helpful. Prices are reasonable have found most of the produce to be good.

Sadly they changed ownership and the new owners seem to be mid construction for months. However, it's dirty and the produce is not fresh. At all. I got bagged baby carrots to realize they were spoiled and mushy when I got home. Avocados past their prime. Cumbers are soft and spotty. Leafy greens are wilted and limp. Fruit flies. Everything seems past its prime. There are so many better options - your standard grocery store has better produce. I would be seriously concerned about their prepped guac etc based off the cleanliness of the rest of the store.It's really sad.
