    Elite Corn Chip & White Queso Dip
    Jamie N.

    Since moving to Ladera, I often look forward to grocery shopping here because I know I'll always walk out with more than intended. From the seasonal snacks to the prepared foods in the frozen section, it gets me excited to try something new that will eventually be a staple in our home. Every trip is an adventure. For example, we really enjoy the Korean short ribs, Vegetable pad thai and various forms of croissants. The chocolate and almond are my faves! Recent likes have been the white cheddar queso, Japanese custard taiyaki, banana pudding ice cream and the assortment of ground or whole coffee beans. This place is always buzzing since it opened, but service is always super helpful and kind. I had trouble finding tofu and I feel like most grocers typically have it near the eggs or in some refrigerated section. Without guidance, I had easily missed it since they were positioned near the protein section on a top shelf. Overall, I enjoy grabbing a few things that make preparing meals a quick fix. it cuts down on meal prep and it's nice to keep a stock of frozen goods in the freezer that are cost effective. I'll be back in no time.

    This is the new Trader Joe's by my house. It's a lot like other Trader Joe's the people are friendly and very nice. There's a lot of delicious food and good atmosphere. I like the Hawaiian shirts.

    Thank you to the sweet check out girl who gave me flowers. Just came from the hospital from sitting next to my 89 year old father. Who broke his femur. I was so exhausted from days by his bedside. That cheered me up and i appreciated it so much.

    Came to this new location because I was visiting a friend. I was in need of some red wine that was dry and not for cooking. Erik was super helpful in pointing out which wines were best for cooking, drinking, and cooking and drinking. I ended up going with his selection and highly recommended. I highly recommend going to the store. The workers are super personable and knowledgeable five out of five stars.

    So excited that Trader Joe's opened up in my neighborhood yesterday! Employees were cheerful and helpful as always. Can't NOT love the wide aisles compared to other smaller stores. They are still figuring out Customer preferences - we found the bread aisle to be pretty bare, but that will change with time. Setup is like a normal TJs, nicely lit and easy to navigate. This will be my go-to store for my weekly TJs run! Enjoy!

    Not a fan of this location. Bad vibes. The staff is not friendly or helpful. A little smile and kindness goes a long way TJ!

They have great selection of products, bakeries, meat section, fruits, veggies, kitchenwares and...They also decorated it for Yalda night. Very gorgeous! There first important thing that caught my eyes was their return policy so i decided to copy paste it here to solve many problems in future. As they stated: Crown Valley Market will happily refund your purchase if you have your original receipt. * All perishable items must be returned within 3 days from the date of purchase. * Houseware items can only be returned within 10 days from date of purchase. Provided the item has not been used and is in its original packaging. All parts must be intact and clean. * No returns on special order products. * No return on Wine, Alcohol, Beer or Tobacco. * No return on gift cards. So, be careful with return policy. Price was slme items were lil bit higher than other persian markets but it's worth to come and try. I ended up to buy lot of nostalgic kitchenware here. Their parking spot was great. No hassle for parking! But if they'll be busy maybe itll be some struggles.

When I got home I realized the date on the package expired (shocker). I took them back with my receipt and the new manager almost started to accuse me of bringing back meat purchased different day. He said "oh no well those would've been removed this morning" because there was some sort of fire in the meat department and the butcher area was all shut down. I asked if I could just go back and swap them for non expired meat. Lo and behold, ALL the meat on the shelf was expired! So I asked if he could check if there was any non expired grass-fed ground beef in the back. He said all the workers are gone for the day because of the fire. I mentioned that hes the manager and could probably check himself. He went in the back, came out, and said theres no non expired ground beef in the back and gave me a refund slip plus a $10 off coupon. Seriously, for the general markup Gelsons has for being a higher end store, you'd really think they'd try harder.

    It's very expensive, I know they consider themselves a gourmet grocer, but if you could find the…read moresame product cheaper somewhere else that's a bit discouraging to walk in there. I will say the pizza and the sandwiches are great. If you are feeling a little bit high end, this is definitely the place to go for a good cheese and wine.

You can really tell this was a major upgrade for the community. The store layout is spacious and easy to navigate, the produce is fresh, and there's a great selection of everything from everyday essentials to vacation snacks and drinks. Prices are reasonable considering the location, and the staff is consistently friendly and helpful, exactly what you want when you're on island time. Only downfall: the restroom felt like a sauna. It was so hot in there that it was genuinely uncomfortable, and I came out sweating. Please turn the AC on in the restroom, it would make a big difference! Overall, whether you're a local or visiting Avalon, this Vons makes grocery shopping convenient and stress-free. Still highly recommend!

I mix them, half and half of each to create my "special blend" coffee. We got four (4) of them tonight with our grocery. I use these milk's instead of water to make my coffee in the morning and it is so good (taste and health wise). Ralph's has good prices on these milk when they put them on sale every few weeks. But this review is for the Supervisor at the self-checkout. He is always so nice and helps us out when there are issues with our purchases. I forget to look at his name tag earlier but it's the gentleman with dark (almost black) and curly hair. Always has a smile when dealing with customers. I'll check his name tag next time we're in the store. :) The store is always nice and clean and well-stocked.
