Mar-Val’s Sierra Market

We stopped at this small grocery store in Colfax because we were in desperate need of a public restroom and it had been snowing and it was one of the few essential businesses that was open that had a plowed parking lot. There was quite a line for the public restroom, however, once you entered inside it was very clean, modern, and very nice. The prices are actually very reasonable and all the produce was fresh and presented in a very appealing way. It was a very nice local supermarket that has just about everything you need. It's actually much larger on the inside than I thought. The prices of some of the groceries were cheaper than my local grocery store down in Sacramento!

A great market to shop at ! Mind you I live in the Mojave desert near Bakersfield ! Stop in when you can ! I do . This place reminds me of the mom and pop stores in the 1960s I remember as a kid .

Great meat department specialty bacon and love pistachio muffins
Fresh bread from Truckee bread company. Produce fresh and good variety . Friendly staff

Love our little town grocer, they'll have everything you need, friendly and clean. I prefer it over the larger chain stores, for sure.

Good food and reasonable prices - friendly and helpful people:)

Wonderful well stocked local market... great for everyday shopping

Wonderful store with a great selection. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable.

Loved the sweet Hometown market, great prices, and fruits, veggies, and meat. So friendly. A huge selection, of interesting products. Fresh Flowers as well.

Had to stop in Colfax for work, found this little hidden gem. They have FRESH SANDWICHES in the deli along with sushi and so much other food that’s freshly made. I got me a custom made sandwich toasted and it was super good. I didn’t browse the other parts of the store but the deli is definitely worth stopping by.

There is a beer cave. A BEER CAVE. That's really all you need to know.

I really liked shopping here I was heading home to Kansas City and just popped in looking for tourist junk. I ended up doing a bit of shopping as the staff was friendly and the store felt welcoming. This looked like a store off of a movie it was really nice. Super clean, Well taken care of, and amazing produce.

Huge meat sale this weekend. They were prepared, had free coffee, and plenty of meat to go around. Specials tomorrow, and Monday also. Been there before, great grocery store, all the brands, really, really friendly employees, and very efficient. Parking very easy, and close. Will definitely go back. Worth driving to Colfax. Old small town type grocery/butcher shop.

I love this market. I’ve been shopping here since I moved from the east bay a few years back. They are friendly and helpful and the deli makes great sandwiches. I tried the eclairs for a Valentine treat and was very pleased. The custard was perfectly rich and creamy.

The meats are very good and reasonably priced. The deli sandwiches are better than subway by far!

Great local store. Amazing Monday Meat deals. Fresh produce and dairy. They have everything you could ask for at your neighborhood grocery store.

This market is a true community resource, providing food and other household consumables to the residents of Colfax and nearby towns. It's very existence means locals need not travel to Auburn (or go to gas station minimarts) to shop for essentials. There is certainly less variety than Raley's, Safeway, or other Auburn stores, and the prices tend to be higher, but - with Sierra Market here - we locals save a lot on gas or electricity (yes, there are plenty of people in this area driving electric cars).

This place is reasonably priced if you know what to buy and when to buy it. Their entire staff treats guests like family. Highly endorse this place

Luv our small town store. Easy in and out . Fast service. Plenty of selection.

My favorite small town grocery store. Great selection of items.

Absolutely hands down, the BEST DELI SANDWICHES anywhere! A tiny wait, but fresh and oh soo delicious! Very nice assortment of things offered to buy at this local grocery store! Good hometown courtesy.
