Bristol Farms Newfound Market

One of my all time favorite gourmet grocery stores. I was lucky to live just around the corner -- daily visits were commonplace for me. The produce, meat, seafood, prep foods, and bread departments are fresh, bountiful, fastidiously clean, and impressive. Foodie adventures await in every aisle and on every grocery shelf. Michigan grocery stores are horrible, overpriced, and subpar -- rotted produce, expired food lingering for months on shelves; good gosh I miss Bristol Farms Newfound Market.

I've been stalking the premises since the end of February and couldn't wait to go visit. I arrived on opening day and was NOT disappointed. I love the food hall, the market selection, the interior design, the attached cafe and restaurant, the music, the layout, etc. It feels like a social outing as much as a grocery shopping experience. Excellent customer service as well (I come from a 15+ year customer service/customer experience background and so it means a lot).

I live locally and it's awesome to know that I can walk across the street, get what I need, and enjoy myself while I do so.

Also love the promotional coupons that I received by mail.

Keep it up, and welcome to Irvine. :)

WOW ! WOW! We love Bristol Farms but this Bristol Farms is amazing!

There’s an artisan food hall built into the grocery store. The produce is fresh and clean and there is a great variety.

The bakery is great and the aisles of prepared food are breath taking. I think I gained weight from just looking ! Can’t wait to get them home.

The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. There is also a large selection of plant- based food with a good selection of lactose and/ or gluten free food.

Enjoy your visit to this cutting edge grocery and enjoy every moment.

Very nice clean and organized grocery store. A lot ready to eat food, high quality and freshly made. Interesting varieties of products. Higher end than regular groceries

Grabbed some avocado rolls, orange chicken, roasted veggies and a drink. Fed me and my two girls for under $20. Great store and lots of seating. Tons of options. Parked for free in the structure . Restroom inside. Valet available.

We were sad that the La Jolla branch closed down a couple of years ago.
Irvine Bristol is the closest to San Diego, and it did not disappoint.
Big selection, great quality products from Europe and around the world.

This place is A M A Z I N G !
Now you’re probably wondering who even cares enough to write a review about a market but Bristol Farms isn’t just a market, it’s A LIFESTYLE. If you’re a fan of Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh and the like, you’ll definitely love this place.

For starters, they have a food court with a lot of amazing options. I definitely will be returning to try some of these, including premade poke bowls and sushi and nigiri!

The market itself features a variety of international goodies to fill your heart’s content. And if you’re looking for a deal, make sure to sign up for their email list to get it. Since I went during grand opening weekend, I entered a giveaway and was gifted a nice little goodie bag that had lots of amazing Bristol Farms branded items.

It’s a good thing I wasn’t hungry in this visit or I would have walked out with way more stuff! Oh and if you’re a fan of those smaller, two level shopping carts, they’ve got plenty of those, too!

Great food. It's fresh. Lots of choices. A little bit pricey. There are several little food stores inside the grocery store where you can pick your favorite foods. They have a poke bar pizza, salads, sandwiches, a hot and fresh bar, seafood. Just about anything.

Great staff, we have always had fun when we visit. Unfortunately, they are closing. Apparently, Veggio Pizza, or whatever it's called, couldn't help and pull their weight. So sad.

Came back here for their incredibly delicious cookie .. just to find out they’re closing!! 😭

Great place to shop for items that would be too premium to be found at your regular grocery stores. Also has a cart for self serve and checkout.

Good lighting in the store. Fresh veggies and fruit. Very clean with friendly staff. Also love their food places inside the store.

OMG! I’m so fortunate to live so close to it. Merchant here are so abundant, so beautiful, so high end and fun!! Very trendy eat place and grocery store.

Unbelievable super market. High end quality produce and products. Lots of ready made food to take them to go.

This Bristol Farms is the best BF location that I've ever been to! I've been to a couple across SoCal but this one takes the cake as my favorite.

First off, their selection here is unreal. From their baked goodies, fish, meat, even just regular groceries, there's so much to choose from. Their bagels are AMAZING. Their sushi+poke is fresh and pretty reasonably priced compared to other places around town.

They used to have a salad shop inside but they changed it so that it's just a salad bar where you can make your own salad on your own and I think it's the best decision they've ever made. The price is pretty reasonable too. I hope they keep the salad bar.

Their hot food area is now self serve too! I used to have to ask the workers for what I want but now I can just grab it on my own.

I'm glad they opened up this food hall. In addition to the Bristol farms grocery store, the food hall offers so many choices. My boyfriend and I tried the matcha and white tiger smoothies from Heart and Hand Cafe with a side of chicken sandwich from Hortons. I enjoyed the smoothies, but I could do without the sandwich. I will return and try the other restaurants there to see how good their food is.

The only reason I came here was for the Cocomels. I also visited the restroom while I was there. The restroom was clean and well stocked. There was almost no one in the store when we visited and it was freezing! We were already at the Spectrum to do some shopping and I'm not sure that I would have made a special trip all of the way down there just for Bristol Farms but maybe.

They’ve got all the things you didn’t know you even wanted to eat, and everything else. Some items fairly priced, others…not so much. If you’re looking for ready to eat items, and a variety of them you’ll find something.

New, shiny and bright, smaller store with individual food venues, frid chicken, salads, bar b que

If you haven’t been in the Bristol Farms Newfound Market in the Irvine Spectrum Center, you’re in for a treat!

There’s much to explore inside…from the minute you walk in, it’s open, bright and so much to look at. If their famous Chocolate Walnut cookies just came out of the oven, it smells heavenly!

Definitely a specialty store with prices to match. The quality is excellent. Lots of nostalgic items and fresh produce, meats and seafood. The groceries are a little pricier than other Health Food Stores.

Their food court has so many options for every taste! The Poke bar and sushi are very popular.

Many people may overlook their Vitamin/Supplement department since it’s tucked away to the far right end of the store. They do have great sales on specific lines so check out their deals. Their newest Vitamin Manager, Sara is so friendly and helpful.

Parking can be challenging, especially with the time limit and when the Irvine Spectrum is very busy. It’s a good idea to do your grocery shopping during the week.

If you haven’t been there yet, it’s worth checking out.
