Q:
Is this place dog friendly?
A:
I was in there twice and did not see any dogs inside the store. The store does have a rather large supermarket given where it is and oftentimes pets are not permitted in supermarkets. I would call the store directly.

To my knowledge, this is the only other place in the park where you can purchase groceries and souvenirs, the other being in Curry Village.
Of course everything is overpriced, it's in a National Park but there are tons of items. You can get shirts, mugs, hats, magnets, bags, ornaments, pretty much anything you're looking for - they probably have.
They also have a grocery part where they have meats and snacks and drinks (alcohol and regular) as well as prepackaged meals and snacks.
Everyone I interacted with was super nice and friendly, the lines got long fast but moved quickly as they had 4 (at the time I went) cash registers open but I'm sure that's not always the case.
They also have local honey, coffee, wine, ect which is always some of my favorite things to buy.
Of course I always encourage people to bring in their own food/snacks because of pricing but if you forget or don't mind the prices, this is the place for you.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - Pavel K.Oakland, CA185Feb 14, 2024
Went to the store with my friends a week ago & there was a lot of products from companies that support genocide in Palestine, but which is disappointing as this is a national park property.
Then had unfortunate occasion to visit this sub par place yesterday as it was the only place open, my grandma died the same day, the stuff at the register didn't say hello or anything you'd expect from service workers, the hostile atmosphere & dirty looks. It was the most horrible store experience I've had so far. The next thing will be less so of a shock but I got one of their deli section items - caprese on ciabatta & little I knew that half way their eating it I'd discover plastic piece of some machinery, & that was the Yosemite brand deli , tells volumes about quality control & staff attitude. Can you just imagine walking to register saying hello to them first & nothing, didn't even announce the price or asked for a bag. 0/5 if it was possible
P.S. & they don't have organic items, like you are inside supposedly a place that caresses about preserving nature & you don't have an option to get fruits berries & veggies without petroleum fertiliser -1/5Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Richard T.Lawndale, CA254634Apr 22, 2024
First time we came here and it was a bit of trouble to find and park with the amount of people visiting but in no way is that their fault it was a Saturday and it was expected by us. We ate at the small grill that they had outside but the real surprise is that inside the village store it's huge. They have so much stuff. All from mugs and firewood and water proof boots to sodas and beer. Small snacks, chips and candy. Shirts hats and sun block. They have a lot. Nice friendly staff to help you find something. Only this is that they need some better water gutters instead of buckets lol we got wet in line while waiting for our food

The Village Store is a great way to stock up on souvenirs and groceries, but it's also a very out of place feature of the park. The interior is half like a bustling supermarket and liquor store, and the other half tourist hot spot. You bet prices are inflated here. My understanding is that the park service doesn't actually operate this store so be aware that you aren't helping the park by buying from here. Get your souvenirs at the official visitor's centers if you'd like to do that.

This store does have a lot of just stuff. Slightly over priced but totally understandable since it's up in Yosemite. I stopped by only to get my 1 wish granted... a nice big sized mug.
Picked out my mug (they just have the normal mug size) so I ended up settling for what it is... walked to the cashier and let me tell you~ I wanted to drop few things in my hand and just walk out.
But I know he's the not store but he sure verbally shut me down real hard. (Hey Mr. Stapley, if you don't want to work... just don't and stay home because cashiers like you ruin other customers day)
I'll pass and instead support small shops near Yosemite.Helpful 14Thanks 1Love this 12Oh no 0 - Aug 8, 2021
This is a neat store. It has a lot of basic things you need to get you through a touristy type of food ingredients and items.
However, this store is souvenir city and it has Yosemite stuff all over the place. If you had unlimited budget, you can outfit your house, car, office, pets or your wardrobe with all-Yosemite all the time with things you can buy here.
It's a fun place to take a break and just to browse.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 363223265May 28, 2022
I guess, variety is high. But you'll spend inappropriate amount of time in the line. Each person takes at least 5 minutes to be served. It's just doesn't make sense. I didn't come here to spend time in the lines because of lack of humanity in this national park. This National park has THE WORST infrastructure across multiple national parks where serve been.

Convenient store to gather basic necessities, or some souvenirs. We bought some cold sandwiches (not good) and snacks to eat after a hike. Covid Precautions are followed here with amount of people allowed in the store limited, masks required, and sanitizer provided. Individuals around the entire park are very respectful of social distancing and mask wearing as well.
Pricing is $$-$$$ which is not too bad. Customer service is just "okay." No one walking around asking if you need assistance and there were a few cashiers only, understaffed in my opinion but that could be due to the pandemic.
Quality of items in the store is fair in my opinion and their are plenty of unique souvenirs at different price points to choose from.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - 1131991188Jan 3, 2021
It is amazing that they have this Grocery and Gift Shop in the reach of those that are caping or have rented a cabin with full kitchen!! They have a fresh produce section, frozen food section and meat section. Just as you would see it at a normal grocery store!
They are taking precautions which we appreciate it.
Make a line everyone respects as much space in between family's and they have N employee at the entrance counting how many come out to let same amount go in. They have non touch hand sanitizer before you go in, in the store and when you leave as well.
This is our third time in Yosemite and we were able to find it this time and very happy we did as we were looking for food that we can cook for breakfast.
Thank you to all as this has made our experience much more safe and enjoyable.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jun 28, 2021
Pretty much have everything you need to survive in Yosemite and at fair prices. I can't believe they don't scam you!
Staff is friendly and the store is extra large. I'm actually surprised as to how large it is. Everyone here is very helpful too.
Get everything you need here. You won't feel robbed.Helpful 10Thanks 0Love this 11Oh no 0
