Murphy's Markets

This place is fabulous. It caters very well to the neighborhood and is always adjusting their offerings in response to feedback. They carry a fantastic selection, many more unique offerings than stores two or three times their size. The utility and variety of their store is surpassed by the friendliness and helpfulness of their staff. The cashiers and clerks, stockers and baggers are our friends and neighbors and it shows in their attitude and care that they take. I drive out of my way for the overall positive experience of a neighborhood small town grocery store.

Truly the perfect neighborhood Americana grocer 💯
Most amazing deli, best local produce, clean and cared for, wonderful staff and excellent management.

A great, neighborhood grocery store. Murphy’s has a nice blend of mainstream, higher-end, and local products.

Packed with amazing variety for a smaller store. It feels mellow with such a nice calm atmosphere. Hot Meat special today was steaming hot pork shanks that great grandma started eating in the car. Always something tasty in the deli.

Murphys is a locally owned chain, this one in Sunnybrea serves the Bayside and old Arcata rd. Community and its prices are comparable if not better than Safeway in Arcata. The location is convenient and they have a good selection of organic and pesticide-laced foods to choose from. They carry Brio bread, bayside roaster coffee, Los Bagels, Humboldt creamery milk, and local wines. In this ever-increasing impersonal corporate cleptocracy, a small chain keeping local economies strong is vital, and Murphy's markets are an embodiment of this.

Prices are reasonable. A variety in the deli, unlike the "schematic" selection in the larger stores. Lots of local products, and products the bigger stores don't carry. The only place that carries corn flake crumbs. They have a large selection of Taylor's Products. Easy in and out parking. Friendly and clean. You just can't go wrong shopping here.

I am at Murphy’s almost everyday because the store is staffed with friendly competent checkers. My questions to the butchers are always answered and sometimes they volunteer a recipe or two on how to prepare fish or cuts of meat. I especially like their local grass fed beef and local sausages. The produce department offers variety of veggies . It’s best in summer. I love Murphy’s.

Murphys has a pretty good deli. You can get hot food, good-lookin sandwiches and various salads and things to go with them. I think you can order burgers too...? Their deli food is the best around, to me anyway. I tried their Asiago pasta salad and it was pretty good after a few bites. I only say that because it was unexpectedly tangy, but I still liked it. I feel that you could probably put this in the microwave and it would be super good. Try out the deli. It's nice
No pics this time, unfortunately 😕
Have a good evening!

Murphy's is a smaller, local market that caters to a healthier lifestyle. While it may be a tad expensive to shop there, I feel like you get what you pay for. I enjoy their selection of foods and goods and everyone who works there seems to be in good spirits the majority of the time. It's a nice place to shop when you don't want to deal with crowds or simply feel like supporting smaller, more local businesses.

The staff is always very attentive and polite. Deli workers are always ready to help. Great for lunch if you're working nearby. I love the rotisserie chicken. Massive beverage selection too.

Great friendly place, fast great customer service and always there to help. This place is awesome. They also have a BBQ during the summer with very reasonable prices and a great selection. I highly recommend this place. There hot food selection in store is a bit over priced. Other than that no complaints

Nice store. Friendly welcoming staff. Pricing is no tvthe best $35 fos chuck roast . Come on people. On two occasions vive had to return meant because itvyeas green/grey when meantvflso was exposed. Two more trips to Murphy's. Really disappointed considering what we paid. Safeway seems to be the BEST bin town I need to find a good, Fair and honest butcher. Help?

I absolutely love Murphy's they're deli food is delicious, and I appreciate the produce dept. Buys from local farms like Redwood Roots, If you eat meat you will love that dept. Plus the shopping experience is comfortable and has that family feeling.

Murphys is probably my favorite place and my least favorite place to shop. They are super friendly, they have the friendliest employees hands down. That's why it's my fave. Why it's my least fave is because some items, are WAY more expensive than they would be at any other place.

The “meat” department guys are always so friendly and patient with my me, my questions. Best locally & regional wild- caught fish in town.

A better sandwich at the Subway price? Yes! See for yourself. And it was ready before I could pick out a beer from the impossibly large selection craft and common beers. The variety of market items (bread, cereals, soups, frozen food) was equally impressive. Oh, too tired to cook? The hot deli supplies everything from tasty salads to sweet & sour pork and they grill Tuesday through Friday afternoon. Good chow!

Murphy's is the place to shop if you live in the Sunnybrae area of Arcata. They have done a great job of bringing organic items into the store. They also have a well stocked liquor and wine section. If you don't see something you'd like, just request it.

Very nice neighborhood grocery store. A little bit of everything. Great deli with great choice of food. Staff very friendly helpful and the store is very neat. If they don't have it they will try to get what you want by request.

Great market, with lots of variety, including international foods. Good selection of local meat. They have been tremendously helpful during power outages in the area. Good customer service.

Murphy's is a community store that exists on the brand of top quality service. The prices aren't as good as a super store but you can pick up what you need and not stand in a line for half an hour. Soon as there is a line, another checker is there a minute later.
