Wolfe’s Market

The burgers are amazing!!!
Great ingredients!!!
Super friendly staff!!!
You can come in and do your grocery shopping and stay to eat…
Meats and fish look super fresh too

Much to like but the prices are absurdly high, especially on commodities. Example: Peets coffee at $ 10.99 when every place else is $ 7.99 — do the math and see how much extra margin that is. The meat counter is impressive but again — hoo doggies, the prices make Whole Foods buyers blush. Strangely poor bread offerings, relying on La Brea brand. But very, very twee, cute, and trendy for folks who either don’t know or don’t care about the value of a dollar.

I have a bias towards Mom & Pop places. In that regard, Wolfe’s hits the spot. It’s well located by the colleges (across the street from Claremont School of Theology, a mere couple blocks to Harvey Mudd etc). The grocery store is decently stocked, having a blend of regular and high-​end/​speciality (e.g. organic, gluten free) products. They also have a hot foods counter that is open in the morning and a deli counter in the evening. Loved the GINORMOUS breakfast burrito in the morning from the back café filled with eggs, veggies, and cheese, and the latte was much better than I expected for a grocery store. However, the roast beef sandwich I purchased from the deli counter later in the day was terrible. Just bread, roast beef, and mustard. They were out of lettuce, tomato, onion etc. And it was $ 7!

Have been a regular and put up with the high $ of most of their lunch dishes cause they are high quality. However, over the past 3 months 3 of my goto favorites have either gone up drastically in price or the portions were noticeable downsized with no change in price. Bummed to say they have lost me as a regular customer.

I currently attend school in Pomona and we have a lot of catered lunches. Not the best for my waistline but free food! Unfortunately I can never say no to a free lunch, but I really should pass when it’s Wolfe’s Market. It’s usually considered a «fancy lunch» maybe because it’s pricier. Every time I’ve tried it, the sandwich was so plain. I love sandwiches and I just don’t know how they always get it wrong. Sorry even subway has more flavor. But even better yet! Today we had it catered with two choices. Ham or turkey & provolone. (Apparently the veggie options weren’t delivered so those were late). But what do you know. Most of the sandwiches labeled «turkey and provolone» were missing turkey!!! So I ate bread & veggies yay. Still edible though. And I do like their pasta (I just remove olives, personal preference). And no complaints about the fruit.

No denying this is an adorable gourmet corner market. Food is displayed beautifully and is fresh. I love places that wrap your meats and don’t use styrofoam trays. Staff friendly and helpful.
My 3 star is based on my lunch. Definitely not Subway but I’d hoped the deli would be all homemade fresh stuff. The veggie burger is from Cisco. The cookie was a frozen dough too.
The Chicken Cranberry Walnut salad looked good… I asked if it came in a sandwhich. She said yes. I had a ½ a cranberry and no walnuts… basically no flavor. It was on a Costco croissant that was fine.

This is my favorite local market! Freshly prepared food daily from tasty fruit filled pastries for breakfast, awesome chicken salad for lunch and chicken enchiladas for dinner saves me a ton time. They have a meal plan that’s popular for weight control that works well and their healthy shakes are yummy and make a great meal replacement while on the go. Ricky, Lisa and Kelly are always nice and helpful and their kitchen staff works miracles with their famous specials to include their homemade chips, salsa and guacamole.
Wolfes market is must stop when cruising thru claremont off Foothill Rte 66 between Indian hill blvd and college ave.

This store is really nice in concept. The deli is pretty good and the fresh food they make to order is also pretty good. The baked goods in the case however are ALWAYS dry and stale. I’ve tried most things there and never had anything fresh. :(

The grocery part of this store looks great with a ton of options! This review is only on the kitchen food. I ordered a my steak sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. The bread was great but the meat and veggies didn’t have much flavor and lacked seasoning. The fries were good. The staff was very nice! Friends have eaten here before and had a good experience. I’ll try it out another day but won’t be getting the steak sandwich. Parking was easy and the prices were reasonable.

I went in to Wolfe’s Market to enjoy their wonderful deli counter. They make wonderful sandwiches with a side salad included. I had a turkey and ham combination. Yum!!! Try it out!

The deli section at this place is one of the best. I always get the sandwiches and salads here.

I loved the old school small town feel of this place. Sandwiches were pretty tasty as well.

Local favorite! Great healthy eating! The food in Kitchen is great! Salads are delicious and are sold in small and large portions. What i love about this place is they serve Shakeology shakes. For those that don’t know, these shakes are expensive when bought. To have it readily and served to order is convenient and enough to make me a regular. The food is fresh and friday grill specials are a must! Want a big breakfast? there breakfast burrito is fit for a king and taste great!
My favorite are is the Salmon burger!
Although i’m not much for sweets, they have a great bakery selection.
Most importantly the staff are nice and helpful.

This place is a great little almost «boutique like» market. It’s family owned, tiny and quaint. If you are looking for quality ingredients for making a killer dinner to impress this is the spot. No wonderbread and fake cheese here. Fine ales and cheeses, excellent meats, and a killer bakery and deli. The sandwiches and salads are awesome and every item in their bakery is spot on.
If you are ever in the area pay thus place a visit and grab some fresh goods to go :)

What a welcoming place to shop. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I will continue recommending this place to friends, family and strangers!

Love it! This place is a great place to get lunch with so many good options at the deli. Try the kit-​kat bar! One of my favorite dessert bars ever

Oh Wolfe’s. I want so badly to love you. I live so close to you. You are a local institution. I want to support small business.
And then you charge me $ 8.50 for a ‘Cobb salad’ that is a box of mostly iceberg lettuce and some diced lunchmeat ham, or $ 6.99 for two chicken legs when I can get a whole chicken at any other grocery store for the same price.
I would go to you as my regular grocery store if your prices were even close to comparable to any other grocery store in the area, but they just aren’t! I’m sorry! It’s not me, it’s you!
So for now, you will remain my ‘whoops, I forgot something at the reasonably priced grocery store’ stop. Everybody that works there has been very nice to me though, no disrespect to the staff!

i’m sooooooooooooo disappointed!!!
my coworker recommended this place. then a software trainer that came from Idaho came and ate lunch here and informed me that it was also good. so it was like hurry up and come eat my food!
i made it a lunch date with two other coworkers. we all came in looking at the menu and decided on getting different entrees. then i did what i always do which is ask the staff what is good there. she states «everything is so good here» but her favorite is «the burger». so the three of us ended up getting the burger combo. that was my biggest mistake.
wolfte cheese burger $ 9.50 and a coconut water $ 1.00. the burger combo came with fries, some fruits, and a small pastry. the burger was seriously lacking a lot of flavor. fries were bland. i didn’t like how the fruits included the pastry on top. part of my OCD is that i like these items in their different compartments not all lumped together/​touching.
so out of the three of us only one liked her burger. however she did add the disclaimer about not having a burger in a very long time. i on the other hand am a huge foodie and burgers is one of my ultimate favorite things to eat. i would have to say i was so disappointed! i love eating mom and pops type of burgers all the way to the gourmet type of stuff and this just tasted like something i can make out of a backyard bbq. except the one i make probably would taste better. if i was to come back it’ll probably be to try something else on their menu. however, it would not be anytime soon.
staff was nice. it’s a cute small quaint place. overall, i’m not impressed by the food therefore my stomach was not satisfied. for outdoor seating it was mainly barstool seating but you’re all facing the parking lot. so it’s hard to sit and chat if you’re with friends.
tips:
*private parking lot
*indoor/​outdoor seating.
*it’s a market but it also has a deli where they can make sandwiches and baked goodies.
*the have bottled and fountain drinks.
*cash/​credit card accepted.
*by the door there are condiments, napkins, and utensils that you can grab.
*they have daily specials.
*the food is made to order.

What a cute place! Love it. The seafood and meat looked amazing – if a bit expensive for my income. If you «live comfortably,» buy your seafood and meat here. This is the type of place that makes shopping a fun experience.
I’ll be back for sandwiches!

It’s rare to find independent grocers anymore and even more rare to find one that’s as great as Wolfe’s is. This store is well run, has friendly staff and exceptional food choices.
I highly recommend that you try the sandwiches from the deli counter. I got a tuna sandwich with the amish swiss cheese a few days ago and it was exceptional. The tuna had a hint of apples in it and the cheese really completed the sandwich. Since, then I’ve been back to buy more of the amish swiss cheese and also to try some of the other sandwiches.
Thanks Wolfe’s!!!
