Lisa at the Manhattan Beach Bristol Farms consistently gives some of the best customer service I've experienced in a long time. She works at the deli/sandwich counter and always has a positive attitude, even when I get a little particular with my order . She's patient, friendly, attentive, and truly makes customers feel taken care of. Anyone who has worked with the public knows how hard it is to maintain that level of kindness and professionalism consistently, and Lisa really stands out. She's absolutely the kind of employee a company should value and hold onto because she creates loyal customers and a genuinely pleasant experience every time. read more

Wanted to try some of their prepared foods to compare to Whole foods. 1. Mushroom soup: not a lot of flavor 2. Baked french toast: Got this because it looked pretty popular by the look of how much was already taken. Can see why it's popular. 3. Mushroom egg souffle: it's okay. the edges are too rubbery. 4. Pepperoni pizza: not great. Dry. 5. Regular and spicy pokey: spicy and a bit too salty. I think it's hotter than the poke at Jus Poke. The regular one is not overly salted compared to Gelson's which was way too salty. Not sure if I'd come back to try other items in the hot deli but maybe other pastries and the poke. read more

Pros: -large store with a HUGE variety of products -big food court with a lot of options -amazing bakery, the cookies are especially delicious here! -fast check out due to larger number of self check out stations Cons: -because of the area this store usually has a lot of people in it but that comes with the territory read more

Huge, super sized location with a large bakery section that greets you as you enter. Service here is friendly and attentive. It has lots of nice gift options, though pricey. Some higher prices are justified, like the fancy candle from here that was gifted to me. The orange scent is strong and natural. I believe the spirits section has its own bar. Their fresh baked cookies are popular and always warm. I got one of each. Both are very big. If you're a fan of very underbaked cookies with a lot (too much IMO) chocolate, you'll like Bristol Farms'. At $4 each, that's a good deal. *Brown Butter Milk Belgian Chocolate Chunk - the brown butter flavor was great. The cookie tasted better on the day bought. *Belgian Dark Chocolate Chunk Sea Salt - tasted better the next day. Their floral section has some reasonably priced options as well. I don't shop here regularly, just particular stand outs, like their carrot cake and Irish soda bread. Plenty of parking spots in this strip mall and it's not far off the 405. read more

Bristol Farms - Candle $42, hand soap $28 - Specialty Food Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

March 28, 2026 | Manhattan Beach | After an event was delayed nearby, my friend and I stepped inside of Bristol Farms to look around! Beautiful store & a variety of price points, depending upon what you're looking for! Inside | Incredibly clean, neat and tidy! I love how everything lined up and the produce department was so colorful! The fruit and veggies looked so fresh! Limited Time | I immediately spotted the limited time Butterscotch Pears! Sounded delicious, knew I had to have it! $12.99 for 3 pears sounded wild, but they were so worth it! Be sure to put them in the refrigerator to get the full effect of the crispiness, as they're bright and refreshing! Also reminded me a bit of a sugar cane flavor! Yum! Packaged Sushi | $12.99 | Since the event was delayed, we still needed a quick bite to hold us over; Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice came through! Be sure to get the soy sauce, as it's not inside of the package! High Quality Shopper Totes | I was immediately attracted to the totes, as they were colorful and just gorgeous! The price tag was $91! I'm sure they were worth it, for whomever wanted to pay the price, as the details are perfection! Pricing | A variety of price points, but several items were on the higher end of prices! One always has a choice to decide what price works best for you...excellent! Customer Service | The gentleman who was front and center in the raw fish department was super friendly! He asked me right away if I needed help with anything the minute I stepped inside! My friend and I agree that the woman who was doing the cooking samples was not as friendly... I didn't want a sample! Self-Checkout Lanes | Easy breezy & so many pretty flowers around! Parking | Free, plentiful and shared by a number of stores! Overall | It was fun looking around, grabbing spicy tuna on crispy rice, as well as the butterscotch pears and experiencing the store! I would easily return if in the area and nearby! read more

I come here at least once a year. To be specific, I'm here like clockwork every Christmas to pick up brioche rolls and whatever ever final items mom needs to prepare the feast. The rolls are pretty excellent. Sometimes I'm here during other seasons to help my mom shop. It's definitely a good place to grab lunch too. My detailed deli report is from the sandwich counter. The tri-tip cheesesteak was crazy gourmet. They'll heat up your marinated tri-tip until it's good and hot and then layer on the provolone cheese. They stick it back in the oven so the cheese is melted just so. Then they add the mushrooms, peppers and onions layer. Perfect! I only ordered a sandwich here because I was so busy doing my Christmas shopping. It'll be an intentional stop lunch in the future, even if I'm not buying groceries. What else can I tell you about the store? Knowledgeable folks in the liquor section, but no bargain pricing there. Overall, it's less expensive than shopping at Gelson's. That's the real whole-paycheck grocery shopping experience. read more

we had 2 separate pickup orders under different names and they ended up getting the breads on our sandwiches mixed up which ended up being fine since we're together and not picky, but def something to note if it was mixed up with someone else's order. we ended up enjoying the overall sandwich itself and i perhaps got lucky because i ended up with the ciabatta on mine which i would've customized for if i could've, but might have been a sad mistake if the other order was for some random person and they got a less desired bread. the chicken was definitely much more flavorful although i don't recall them also adding the default balsamic it's supposed to come with. the turkey for my sandwich is also a bit on the drier side and much more light/subtle in any taste despite adding chipotle aioli although i didn't really taste any of that either. when we came to pick up, i guess they still have an additional process to input the order and print out another confirmation of the order (even though it's all paid and complete through doordash) but they weren't entirely sure if that had already been done, so despite ordering for pickup, we still had to wait another 10 minutes for them to figure out whether or not that had already been done. typically, we're not bothered by a wait, but they took the smoothie out of the fridge upon arrival so it was just sitting out. by the time i was able to actually enjoy it, it was pure liquid and had no smoothie texture which was very disappointing as i rarely get to enjoy a smoothie and only really do so for its texture :( the tea was fine as it being watered down from the melted ice doesn't really affect it too much as they come pretty strong too which is refreshing and great for someone who loves a good (unsweetened) tea that DOESNT just taste like water. very light and natural ~ although this drink they did just have sitting out from when it was ready until we were given the orders too so the ice was pretty much all melted too when we actually received the orders. read more

Bristol farms feels like it's on par to be an Erewhon with their prices. They were selling a brick of Dubai chocolate for $32.99! A single mango was $6.99! Our checkout person was a fun quick talk to have. The place is clean and looks like they have really tasty ingredients. read more

Brooke, the manager at this location is a lifesaver. I drove 20 miles to this location for cooked meats only to discover the department had closed and everything had been put away early due to employees ending their shift and relieving employees not being present. Brooke, interrupted her lunch hour to assist and provided me with most excellent customer service. This store is lucky to have Brooke. I was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism and how she took immediate action to address and resolve my issue. I can tell she is dedicated to her job and this store. After our encounter, I witnessed her addressing other issues and putting out fires, despite being entitled to her lunch. Brooke YOU ROCK!!! I will continue to be a repeat customer. THANK YOU SO MUCH! read more

Everything about the store is amazing. The food the service ambience, and the staff Joe the manager runs a great ship. Everything about the store is fantastic. I usually go about every other day and each time it's a wonderful experience more supermarket should be like this. The staff is amazing. Always a pleasure to go in. read more

I know...it's expensive but I buy most of my protein here (meat, chicken). It's quality stuff. I will occasionally buy fish or shrimp here. (I don't get my seafood here too often because I have a fish monger from Nor Cal that drives to a farmer's market each weekend that I am willing to drive to.) I do also like the customer service from the guys in the "protein" area to the sandwich people and the cashiers. Folks are pretty darn nice!! read more

Beautiful store, well stocked, and everything is fresh and beautifully presented. The prices are high, but if you're looking for quality items or special meal, this is your place. I am obsessed with their cookie, we always stop in for the buy six get one free in both their original and peanut butter flavor. Ideal party gift, the staff is also very friendly and helpful and there's plenty of easy parking. read more

I browsed Bristol Farms in Manhattan Beach today. I liked what goods I saw for sale. I also like that they prepare food, drinks, and desserts on-site and have food bars. I thought many things for sell were pricey, but like that they carry a wide selection of items in general. read more

This review is strictly for the Meat Department. I love going to check in on my Manhattan Beach Bristol Farms Meat Department. Some of the best customer service I have experienced in my years shopping at this location. Im happy Daniel is the Manager there again as he was always focused on quality and service. The whole team always makes me feel special when I shop at this Meat/Seafood department. read more

I placed an order through UberEATS for my family's Valentine's Day dinner and I received spoiled steaks. I called the store to alert them but they didn't seem too concerned. Steaks smelled bad,the color was off and was slimy. $90 down the drain since Bristol Farms won't reimburse me and I haven't heard back from customer service at UberEATS. read more

I've been coming here more lately after stopping by Nothing Bundt Cakes a few stores away. Today I picked up a slice of tres leches cake, spinach artichoke dip, and a signature milk chocolate chip cookie. I've always liked Bristol Farms. They offer a fabulous selection of enticing and attractive foods and groceries. The store is always neat and clean and the customer service is good. read more

Not only does Bristol Farms have one of the better tasting and freshest meats for a grocery store, but did you also know that they have one of the better tasting poke bars too? Being from Hawaii, I've tried a lot of poke bars trying to find poke that is similar to what I get in Hawaii, and Bristol Farms has always been a favorite. Not only is their fish really fresh, but also very flavorful. My favorite so far has been their salmon poke. Im always taking home a jar every time I make a stop to get their steaks. I also love the way their grocery store is later out. Everything is always laid out so neatly, and never had an issue (yet) of having expired foods on the shelves. Everything is always fresh and of great quality. read more

If You Know, You Know -- Stay Away !!! There's a quiet hostility at this Bristol Farms location in El Segundo -- and if you're a melanated person, you'll feel it the moment you walk in. The coldness from some of the employees isn't just bad customer service -- it's personal. You can sense the contempt, the passive aggression, and in some moments, the outright provocation. It's not imagined. It's not subtle. It's racial tension disguised as "indifference." It's very clear some of these workers are projecting their own oppression onto Black customers -- and it creates an unsafe, unwelcoming environment that no one should have to endure just to buy groceries. I've never had this experience at any other Bristol Farms -- only this one. And it speaks volumes. So here's your warning: if you feel that energy from an employee here - don't ignore it. Trust it and document + report it to corporate. Take your money to Erewhon or WholeFoods Market or any other Market that trains staff to treat everyone with basic human decency -- not to lash out at customers based on skin tone. We see it. We feel it. And we deserve better. read more

Gourmet grocer with pristine produce, delectable desserts, and exceptional everyday essentials! Bristol Farms is located in the Manhattan Marketplace along Rosecrans. Parking is decent, I didn't have issues finding a nearby spot on a Saturday afternoon. My memory is not good, but I think this was the general layout: Left side: Flowers, bakery, fruits/vegetables, poke bar, salad bar, sushi, deli, cheeses, other hot foods Back: Meat, seafood, eggs, dairy Middle aisles: Supplements, frozen foods, snacks, pet food, pantry items, health/beauty products, household supplies, etc. etc. etc. Right side: Wine, spirits, beverages, and more that I am forgetting Front: Self checkout, registers, juice/coffee bar Didn't spend too much time because I wasn't here for groceries, I was looking for a quick bite. Took a glance at their drink selection, no Keto Cloud smoothie to be found again! Ended up choosing a bottle of their fresh watermelon juice, which quenched my thirst but wasn't anything special. I also scooped myself a bowl of chicken noodle soup. It was pretty hearty and not too salty. Best purchase of the day was the white chocolate macadamia cookie, with its slightly crisp along the edges and chewy center. Pricey of course. But I still go because they offer high quality meals without the hassle of cooking! Will get the poke bowl next! read more

Just purchased and consumed the prepackage chocolate chip cookies , after eating them my throat started burning and I felt nauseous and my stomach got swollen After this bad experience I was reading the ingredients and it says the cookies are made with genetically modified organisms and GMO soy oil, which has caused me extreme discomfort.. Why is Bristol farms allowed to sell this garbage and high prices, to the unsuspecting Public. Are you guys trying to destroy your product line I'm never shopping there again! read more

This review is only for the cookie. This was my last stop on my "Best Chocolate Chip Cookie in LA" tour. I purchased 4 Originals. They are $3.75 each. First of all, these cookies are MASSIVE. I didn't weigh them, but they were definitely the heaviest and largest of the 3 places I went to this weekend. They were still warm, broke apart easily and were super gooey inside. A damn fine cookie! Taste and price factored in, these were probably my favorite of the 3 places I went to. Will definitely come back here just for more cookies. Bomb! read more

I needed 10+ lbs of fruit salad and a bunch of cupcakes for a kids birthday party. Called the store directly and spoke with Tracey in the catering dept.

Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. read more

The premade small sushi rolls from the cold deli area tasted horrible. The rice was very dried like it has been cooked days ago with very little tasteless tuna, inedible even with the enclosed wasabi and ginger. In addition the taller young male with black hair standing at the self check out to assist customers was very cold, snappy and very rude. Will never put up with such BS. Nearby Lazy Acres is much more helpful and welcoming read more

I was a very big fan, going to Bristol for certain meats, and speciality foods. This review is about the deli; once again bad news. I went to the meat Deli to get my Tri-tip sandwich. I have had a very bad experience with a female worker who wore glasses; She is short, I believe maybe hispanic. This is the 2nd time I have had an encounter with her service. I requested a Tri-tip sandwich. I asked for the bread to be toasted. She replied in a sarcastic manner, "It comes like that". She didn't take time making the sandwich. After she was done, she literally dropped off the sandwich as she was still walking! She mumbled something, thank you blah blah blah. I WAS APPALLED! She "dropped" off my order on the counter and NEVER broke stride, no eye contact given. Totally unacceptable. Unwrapping the sandwich when I arrived home, it fell apart. The previous time was when I had my first encounter with her. I immediately spoke with the manager on duty (male). He informed me that they have had complaints regarding this lady. Apparently nothing has changed. I would say at most of the workers behind the deli counter have: a) No customer service skills b) Do NOT greet the customer c) Not pleasant d) Do not prepare the food/meal in a adequate manner There are only 2 workers who now only I trust to prepare my meals. If I don't see them working, I leave. This is totally ridiculous and unacceptable. It seems like it's a real issue getting "good" service from this location(In the Deli). The workers in the Deli roll their eyes when they see me coming. If it wasn't for the two who are excellent every time I order, I would take my business where it is appreciated. read more

If you don't fit the Manhattan Beach soccer, mom, stereotype, be prepared to be followed around by employees and store security. I will say that the sushi is made fresh in store throughout the day and they do make a very good deli sandwich. Unfortunately, they lack in customer service and management has not made a good impression on me. The few times I've sought out management to make them aware of the restroom, needing cleaning or some other concern, the attitude from management was just to make up an excuse of how busy their employees are on other tasks. read more

Bristol Farms - Best cookie in the world!! - Specialty Food Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I visited your store at 9:32 AM and attempted to order a 2020 and a BFF from the Juice Bar. However, the employee informed me--without any apology--that they were out of oranges, açaí, and ginger, and therefore unable to make either drink. It is extremely disappointing that essential ingredients for popular menu items were unavailable so early in the morning. This reflects poor planning and inventory management, which compromises the customer experience. I hope this issue can be addressed to ensure better service and availability in the future. read more

Stopped by BF here after a recent Yelp Elite Experience at the nearby pizza place next-door. Little did I know what an experience awaited me at this Bristol Farms. The workers here were all so friendly and helpful, too many to name indeed. However, a few stood out and went above and beyond to make my experience at this particular BF outstanding. Realizing that my cell had died, I asked a gentleman named Ralph in the seafood area if he knew of anyone in the store who would happen to have an android charger on him-and he did.... his name was Ralph! lol Ralph charged my cell up to almost 20% while I shopped and had it ready to rock and roll upon my exit of the store. Super kind and super nice indeed. Bryan in Wine and Liquor was another gent who knew his business in and out but was also kind enough to share more than one story about his customers that he has come to love and know over his time here. After picking up a few items I was on my out, but not before being overly impressed with the sheer magnitude of kindness and genuine personalities on display that this Bristol Farms store in Manhattan Beach. read more

This place is amazing. I havent been to a bristol farms in years and my friend hadn't really explored one before so we took a little trip to this one. Let's just say i'm glad we ate lunch beforehand! As it was i spent quite a bit but didnt get a lot (i mean, duh) except for the best frozen biscuits ever!! I need to come back and buy a few more boxes for sure. Its clean, its fancy, it's well laid out and has a ton of unique products. My friend had to drag me away from both meat and poke counters. We had a nice time checking out the fun products and looking at candles and handsoap. I love it here! read more
