Family lives right by here, heard about it and wanted to try, It's okay, prices aren't really that great as in low ... Most brands are not what were used to here, I did find a frozen deep dish pizza that's from Geno's east, which is sort of like Giordano's.. had to try that.... A big - The cashier was kind of rude to the customer in front of me, I thought maybe he did something wrong, but no her attitude carried on to me, a + for me was the small Hass avocado was .74¢ they're 1.99$ where I normally shop right now. read more

I really love Aldi especially the variety of French brioches bread at reasonable price! Also, French and German deserts such as crème brûlée, chocolates and sometimes they have some cakes and pies. Huge cheese selection and some frozen appetizers are so good. All are reasonably priced. Household items are hard to resist such as cute glass water bottles and bowls and plates, recently I bought a velvet home dress which is soft and cute! The store is clean. The only thing they open at 9 am, I would prefer at list to be opened at 8 am. read more

Brand new, grand opening today! Free bags and snacks... None of the employees made eye contact or asked if I needed help....only a few name brand items...all the rest are Aldi products read more

From some of the reviews apparently this location isn't like the others and in my opinion it really sucked in general. Don't think I will even check out the other ones. Maybe my expectation was off but I didn't consider the prices that great. Only a few things had decent prices. Almost all of the products are their own brand but when I hear the commercials it sounds like they have great items within their brand. They had nothing great, fresh or unique. Most things are just generic items you can get at the dollar store for cheaper. Also the staff was rude and I don't like paying a quarter for a cart. Like who always had coins on them? Not me it's 2020. Won't return or give their brand a shot read more

This place is understaffed, most people work there are not helpful and on google.com and different websites it says they open at 8:30 AM, I was there a few days ago and realize that they open at 9 AM, so I highly recommend they change their business hours on social media especially on Google platform . Oh And don't even try calling them, they do not have a phone number where you can reach them. read more

I'm so glad there is finally an Aldi in Oceanside! I used to frequent the store on the east coast and loved it. I think this Aldi is a perfect size and nicely laid out. The store was clean when I went with everything clearly labeled. If you're looking for brand names then this is not the place for you. Four things to note: 1. Bring your own bags because you will be bagging your own groceries. Everything will be placed in your cart and you can conveniently pull off to the side where there is plenty of space to bag your own items. 2. Cash or debit only here. 3. You will need a quarter to use a cart. 4. There are no cart returns in the parking lot at this time so you will need to walk your cart back all the way by the door. read more

Love Aldi. You can't beat the prices. I save so much, get more for my money and the quality of food is great. Aldi reminds of home (UK).

Went for the time and though the store and aisles looked like a dollar store with crap everywhere and unorganized, found what wanted easily. The check out was ok except the cashier who just mumbled and when my receipt came out, she grabbed it, looked at her coworker and just held it for me to grab. I'll go 2 stars for having what I came for. read more

This 1 Star is purely because of the sun shining in. SERIOUSLY!!!! If your customers and workers have to shield their eyes to look at either products or the line when checking out they should get it fixed. It only takes a few blinds installation and not that much money. Won't be going back during that time 3PM-Sunset. read more

I used to go to this store on my lunch break, but after today doubt I'll be returning because twice in the last month I've left empty handed. It appears you need more employees on your morning shift. Last time I went in I stood in line with my items and never had anyone show up to the registers so I had to go back to work empty handed. Today was even worse....I was told another lane would open and that I should go over there. Then I watched people who were originally behind me being helped while I'm standing there waiting at an empty register, eventually leaving without my purchase to head back to work. TLDR: There needs to be more than 1 employee available in the store, figure it out. read more

I've shopped at this Aldi since shortly after it opened. After today, however, I doubt I'll be back. The lower prices (but limited selection) just aren't worth the drive (I live a mile away). I had spoken with the regional manager after filling out an online survey. She assured me that the pallets of stock blocking the aisles would not be happening again. I think she meant that day, because every time I've been back, there are pallets blocking at least one aisle. A few months ago, I stopped shopping here as regularly because the obvious management problems at the store have never been addressed. But I've been stopping by periodically to see if things have improved. And to take advantage of some low prices that nobody beats. After today, it's just not worth it. The dairy was the worst. There were only two cartons of eggs available, even though you could see behind that there were lots more there, just not available to customers. Same is true of milk. I bought milk at Winco last week that had a sell-by date beyond the milk at Aldi today. This is an easy problem to solve, but the management has never solved it. One of the low-price perks at Aldi was the Winking Owl wine. Last November, it was $1.99 per bottle. Today it was $2.89. That's a 90% increase in four months. Not going back for that. Always lots of empty shelves here--supply chain issues, I'm sure. Although they don't have that problem at Vons or Winco. The cashier was so fast that she didn't even remember where she removed the "order divider" after my order and almost started ringing up the next order as if it were mine. She was the ONLY employee I saw anywhere in the store. She was neither friendly nor unfriendly--who would be friendly if the burden of the entire store rested on her shoulders? As I said, I've filled out the "tell Aldi" form online every time I've been to this store. They just send an email telling me to call if I have any more input. I think Aldi corporate has stopped trying to make this store an "excellent customer experience" as their online form states. read more

There are some great prices, but the big downside is limited selection and customer service. Different way of doing business I guess. Would not be too surprised if they end up like Fresh & Easy. (remember them) read more

I was disappointed. I used to go to my local Aldi's when I lived elsewhere, and it was great. The selection was good, the brands of good quality, the prices great, and the service pretty good. So I was happy to see one opening near me here in O'side. However, my first visit was a disappointment. The produce I needed seemed to be minutes away from expiring. The brands available were different from the ones back east. The prices were pretty good, but not as great as I was expecting. Had to wait in a long line as there was only one register open, but the young lady running it was friendly and calm, even though she was clearly being overworked. This place needs some work before I'll add it to my list of grocery stores worth my time. read more

Wow!! Worst Aldi I've been to. Bare shelves and god forbid you leave with nothing purchased... you have to squeeze past everyone in line. There's no leaving otherwise. They have it blocked off... in a fire you'd be screwed. And the clientele at this location is like the walking dead. read more

The customer service has really gone down hill. the hours say 9-9 but if you get there 10 minutes to 9pm the door will be locked and the workers will ignore you. Self-serving and poor way to serve the community. If you advertise being open for business and it's not an emergency or natural disaster, you should honor your hours. period. the end. read more

It's a moderate to small sized grocery store that has a European style. Customer bags own groceries on a separate counter after transaction is complete. Most of the brands are "off brand" or copies of common US brands. They offer a decent selection of ready to heat style meals for one or two people that are pretty good. The cheese selection is usually quite nice and well priced. The stock varies quite a bit and can be unpredictable. They have a smallish produce section. The prices are pretty reasonable. Eggs are usually a great deal. Bring a quarter for the cart - you get it back when you return your cart. read more

Limited but generally good selection of groceries despite most advertised sale items being out of stock already the first day on multiple visits. However, consistently very rude customer service at cash register, namely a frizzy blonde-haired older lady and a larger gentleman. Better off at another location. read more

The customer service in the store isn't great, but the lady cashier blonde hair and older is extremely rude and mean, if you want to keep your customers you should get rid of her. It wasn't just one time it's everytime I hate going through her line. read more

Another one of those afternoons when you go to ALDI and there is 5 employees on the floor and 15 people in line and one cashier. And they wonder why customers bitch, moan and groan. But this Aldis prides itself on horrible customer service and as one employee told me once that the management doesn't really give a rat's ass what the customer thinks because they know the customer won't go anywhere else. Now for the positives...... Great food. Outstanding produce. Cheap dairy. Reasonable deli. Meats, fish & pork are great. Service still sucks!! read more

The worst experience I have ever had in a grocery store. No disinfected carts Cashiers ..............Rude as hell Customers are rude as well And to top it off you have to pay for your cart use Never go to this place! read more

This Aldi store has added more then 1 functioning register since my previous visit, and added more selection... making it a respectable Aldi store. read more

Bad customer service , cashier was complaining about everything . He demanded me to stop packing my groceries , I do this everywhere because I want to get out there fast , he started tossing my groceries with a real bad attitude. I will never come back to this store . I should have walked away and not paid the $58 of groceries right there. The manager was called and she stood there like she had no clue what to do . Very little selection of food and the price is only good for certain stuff . No shopping carts available to shop , ridiculous! read more

Service? What service? One checker for 14 people in line. Asked for another checker to come to help move the line and the girl who was cashiering said she was the only one in the store. This seems to be the norm. Empty shelves. Over priced food and lack of store employees. Talked to one of the employees I found yesterday and he agreed that Aldis has ongoing help issues. Employees are made to work with little help and if they don't perform to the rigorous Aldi requirements they get demoted to do the worst jobs. The Oceanside Blvd. store is the worse. I feel sorry for this workers that are really good at what they do being drug down with those who really can't stand to be there or really aren't customer friendly. But having to be in a line with 14 people ahead of you & one cashier is not customer service. read more

The manager there is something to be desired he acts like a Gestapo agent you're trying to be safe and not get too close to people but he's packing you in there telling you to hurry up he's the worst I know of a half a dozen people that have the virus and I believe it's because of this store and the manager putting their hands on them and talkin right into their face within 12 in read more

I'm a huge Aldi fan, love the limited selections, and the outrageously low prices. On both of my trips, i went in right after they opened, the produce was plenty-full and fresh, the store was clean and fresh and the service was friendly and fresh, ahem fast. This store seemed to have less of a freezer section or meat section, but still a great store. I can't wait to get an Aldi in Carlsbad. read more

I am very puzzled about the rather negative reviews. For me, Aldi is the number one grocery store. The prices are unbeatable and I love the seasonal (& international) products they have. I always find treasures, whether food or home ambience wise. Because Aldi ALWAYS has amazing weekly products for bath/kitchen/ and general home accessories you didn't even know you need. The quality has been wonderful, the produces always taste great and have never been disappointed shopping at Aldi. I love the "insert-quarter-in-cart" system as it avoids vacant carts blocking parking spots and the "self-bagging" system, as it speeds up the process of checking out & paying. Also, this way I can assure my groceries are bagged just right and unpacking at home is faster. Thank you to Aldi and all Aldi team members. They are always as busy as can be and have never been unpleasant to me. Always very friendly & helpful people! read more

Aldi is my favorite grocery store but after many months of staying away from this location, I don't need to come back. There's always a line with only one cashier. They wait till there's about eight people in line before another cashier shows up, and that cashier is never very pleasant because they got pulled away from doing something else. Oceanside Blvd location read more

Terrible they make you pay for the carts, the vegetables are rotten. Expensive for rotten vegetables. I wAlked out never to return

Hate this grocery, have to put in a quarter for a cart which is returned when you are done. Selection is limited. Walked in and out

Aldi is one of my favorite grocery stores to shop at, however, this location is always low on items and the employees don't seem to know the policies as far as the Aldi guarantee. read more

For all the people check it out the price deal that it shows on the stand are completely different at the register

Love Aldi! You can't beat the prices and the quality of the food is comparable to any other store brand. Just remember to bring a quarter for the grocery carts read more

Wish they had more German products !! German week was this week. Very disappointing!!! I get ad on Wednesday but things were already in store on Tuesday. By Saturday most things gone. Some things in ad not even at store. Employees know nothing !!! Should carry things all year long. But you say things don't sell. Well that's not true. Very sad read more

I've had the privilege of shopping at Aldi in Frankfurt. And while this isn't quite the same experience, it does stack up well compared to many others here in the states. read more

By far one of the worst grocery stores you could ever go to. With an enormous amount of offbrand products it feels like you're shopping at the 99 Cents store for groceries. I'm not saying you can't get your occasional $.99 eggs but the rest of the story is just a joke. They also open late all the time which is the weirdest thing I have ever seen in a grocery store. Even when I think about going I don't because they're not open. I understand saving money where you can but this business model is the most ridiculous one of any grocery store you could ever go to. read more

The store has all the necessities and the staff go above and beyond. The checkout clerks are efficient and competent. They also have high quality products at decent prices and portions. The weekly finds has random things that are useful at unbeatable prices. It's always a pleasure shopping here. read more

I was very disappointed after all the hype. It was quite small and not the kind or amount of merchandise in the ads. Apparently you have to pay to use a cart which is ridiculous if they want any customers to buy large quantities. Is this what it has come to? It appeared like a low quality going out of business market. I would not waste your time they will be closed soon. read more

i would give this place 1,000 negative stars if i could. so i had my grocery's in reusable bags. so i go up to the cashier and he tells me i need to dump out all of my groceries on the counter!!! he said it so rudely to me and thren he gets up and goes to the other register and doesn't even bother to tell me!! then he comes back over and drags a cart over and starts puting my stuff in it. i wanted to start bagging since they don't!!! he said i would bump him if i started to bag so i had to wait!!! wow what kind of company is this with a rude cashier that wont do anything but scan my items and that treated me like dirt! i've worked in retail for many years and you never ever treat a customer this way!! don't shop here trust me. nicer cashiers at the wal-mart and trader joes and they actually bag your items for you! read more

Customer services are lacking and check-out courtesy lacks. Discount prices with limited options should not mean denial, disrespect, and degrading. This has what we felt the last few times there during check-out. This includes swapping carts and loading your food in someone else's cart! There was also limited respect for items going into the basket. When you request a manager after having a cart rammed into you, to me it appears the closest clerk becomes that instant manager. read more

Oceanside I love you so much for bringing an ALDIS NEAR ME!!!!!! I absolutely love love love this store it's so affordable healthy and CLEAN all the time Iam always able to find everything I need love the store so much !!!! I used to make my trips useful to temecula because they had one there Iam happy that I don't have to do that anymore read more
