    I like shopping at Amazon Fresh even though I don't frequent it. They do have good deals but some…read moreitems are quite expensive too. Most of the time the ice cream is cheaper than that of Whole Foods, etc for the same product. I find random deals. Last time I was there, some hummus was only a dollar and change. It is the same size as other grocery stores that charge $2-4. The small portion salmon really comes out well when you cook it. But you do have to be careful if you do self checkout. One time, I scanned the 30% off sticker. Not only did it charge me for 30% off the sticker but it also charged me for the full price. If I was not one to look at my receipt, I would've been been charged 170%. It is sad that this location is closing next week. The last time I went, I heard the last day is 03/13. No word on what's next but one possible scenario is Whole Foods moving in. We shall see... If you want to check it out, you only have a few more days.

    Tucked far away in Pasadena on Colorado boulevard, this store is a downgraded Whole food market ( A…read morelittle bit like Vons and Pavillons) The good part: There is never a crowd or wait at the registers. The prices are one level under its more famous sibling, with some major differences for the same items ( eggs, Chobani, De Cecco pasta as an exemple). The staff is very friendly and the whole experience is a good one. The bad: The organic produce and fruit are not tasty and don't seem to last as long ? In this day and age of affordability, it is a good store but I will not purchase everything there, and reserve my fruit and vegetables to my usual Whole food, Bristol Farms and Pavillons.

    I love the concept! Hoping this will catch on with other retailers…read more We thought it was just a store with Amazon stuff, but it's so much more. All the clothing on display are samples. To try them on, you scan a QR code to add them to your room. When you get a few items in your room, you can use your phone to unlock the room. Inside is a magic closet where your selections basically come from Narnia. It's a double sided closet where they can continue to add things to your room at your request via the tablet in the room. Need a different size? Want to try on more items? Just request it via the tablet and it will magically appear in the closet.

Within a few minutes, you will be assigned a dressing room upstairs, while you can keep shopping and adding items to your dressing room. The dressing room is spacious enough and has a built-in drop-off closet for them to add more items and a screen with your name and suggested fits for you. The girl at the check-out desk, her name was unique, was extremely patient and attentive. She gave us excellent customer service and answered all of our questions. They also sell skincare, makeup, jewelry, shoes, etc. It was worth the drive from Santa Monica! As for parking, we parked at the Glendale Galleria mall, which is right next to the shop.

    Amazon Fresh - North Hollywood we meet again!…read more Often my go to Fresh in L.A.'s San Fernando Valley, though the location in Encino is much closer, I typically find most things I'm looking for here at great deals or reasonable prices. Service is sensational on the floor, in various departments and at check out. Typically they might have a greeter in front, though they had nobody here on New Year's Eve. A little disappointed in the reduction of vegan friendly pre-made meals as well as the hot bar, salad bar and some of the product placement. It took me forever to find crackers!! Not in the snack isle... But near the cookies and a few other items across from the last row of cold stuff, in the fridges. Typically Prime members (of Amazon) save more, but my total was exactly the same when I entered my number... Veggie Egg Rolls are vegan here and had I not been in the mood for much lighter, less fried eats, I would've gotten some... Though I've had them in the past. Hot Bar and Salad Bar are all pay/lbs which can be costly, though very similar to their partner Whole Foods. Great selection of frozen goods, spirits, produce, home goods, dairy as well as non-dairy products + more! Easy parking in the neighborhood, but even more so with their parking garage with Elevators to inside the store. Located on Lankershim Blvd/Ostego Street w/ a small outdoor patio that's accessible when the weather is less rain heavy.

    I was in the area so I decided to stop by and check this store out. I was greeted by a nice lady…read morethe minute I walked in. She was very nice and friendly. Store was clean and well maintained. Shelves were fully stocked and it was easy to find the items I was looking for. For parking, this store has a parking garage and there is metered street parking available too.

    I am saddened to announce that as of March 13, 2026, Amazon Fresh has shuttered its doors…read morepermanently :( As mentioned in my previous review, this store wasn't perfect and had room for a lot of improvement, but it was a godsend for a quick stop, definitely beating the neighborhood liquor store or the 7-11 by a long mile for pricing and selection and ambiance, and beating Ralphs & Whole Foods on the price and the crowds. Apparently Amazon has decided that this retail business model is not profitable enough and they want to focus on grocery deliveries (where you have to pay a delivery fee or buy a monthly subscription) and to expand their Whole Foods presence. All Amazon Fresh stores are now permanently closed and some will be converted to Whole Foods. Except in Porter Ranch we already have a Whole Foods about a mile down the street at Rinaldi and Porter Ranch Drive... I hope this Amazon Fresh location does not become an abandoned haunted house (store).

    Amazon Fresh, in the Northridge/Porter Ranch area is another of Jeff Bezoz's triumphs to provide a…read morediverse multitude of services. The ease of going in and out, for anything you desire (if they have it), is commendable. Gone are the days of high prices, where fruits and vegetables are concerned. Meats are another story. Let us not go there. I don't know if you are aware, but a while back there was an extensive internet evaluation of potato chips, by experts, and the product from Amazon Fresh (which was hard to get due to the high demand), was voted #1. So this place has its virtues. This time, I was interested in their freshly made pizza. The grilled vegetables selection, was made fresh for me in about 10 minutes. It was huge, must have been an Xtra Large, for only $8.99. I had the choice to get it sliced into 8 or 12 pieces, I chose the latter. The pizza has a thin crust (my favorite), a no-stingy distribution of vegetables and an absence of an overdose of cheese. Actually, just the way I like it, when I am ready to forget about calories, the possibility of weight gain, and guilt. My to go pizza was prepared by Rosa, who also provided high class, behind the counter customer service. And yes, the pizza was still flavorful with taste and texture on the day of pick up and both one and two days later.

Was in the store for its opening and got talking with the corporate marketing manager. Told him that this was the 3rd market at this location, Alpha Beta, Bristol Farms, and them. They all failed, real short life spans, cuz of location and market demand. Within a 2 mile area you have at least 6 markets and add to it mom and pop deli's. AWS tried, it didn't work out... too many people know where to go to get value and no gimmicks. Add to it, parking there is a challenge.

Their prices are competitive, and they usually have a nice selection of products to choose from. Amazon Fresh also offers same-day delivery for groceries and everyday items! They also offer a small discount on certain items for Amazon Prime members. This particular location has always been clean, organized, and well stocked. I've always liked the fact that Amazon Fresh gives you the option to shop with Amazon Dash Carts (smart carts), which let you skip the checkout lines. You sign into the cart with your Amazon account, add items as you shop, and the cart automatically tracks your total cost. This location also has a Krispy Kreme, so you can grab some tasty donuts while you shop! The employees at this location have always been friendly and welcoming. They greet me with a warm welcome as soon as I enter the store. This location is situated on a fairly large lot, so parking is usually never an issue. Overall, this store has been a great choice for everyday items and prepared meals. I'm going to miss my random late-night runs, but I will continue shopping here while the store is still in business. Farewell, Amazon Fresh! Ratings: Cleanliness - 5/5 Variety of items - 5/5 Service - 5/5

    I am fan of Amazon Go stores and wish there were more of them…read more I enjoy and appreciate the quick in and out process of this convenience store arm of Amazon. You scan your code in the Amazon app as you enter or you can swipe your hand if you have this feature enabled in your account or scan credit card as just walk out with your purchase. I love $8 warm Cuban sandwich, $2.99 kombucha fountain and $2.99 Stumptown nitro iced coffee fountain. The pricing for food and drinks seems to be a good value (craft coffee for $2.99?!). Tip is not requested like other coffee shops for just ringing you up. This experience is refreshing and stress free with no cringe tip factor upon exiting. This Amazon Go location has no parking or it does, but other people at surrounding businesses park in them. I don't think they tow cars for parking in customer spots. The reason why I know? The Amazon Go store was completely empty of customers and employees. I picked up a Primo Donuts tiger tail and Stumptown Coffee Nitro on draft and walked out in 4 minutes according to the Amazon app. For those that need the employee interaction, this store is not for you. In a rush for coffee, lunch, or snack? Are you tech fiend and love futuristic experiences and adventures like the Intuit Dome? Amazon Go is worth checking out. Parking on the street at the meters is .33 cents for 20 minutes using the Park Smarter (LA City parking) app. Enjoy and you're welcome.
