It's my first visit to Vons since they closed down the store I shopped at in Bixby Knolls…read more This store is located on a busy street with very limited parking. On any given day when I drive by I see a lot of random people hanging out loitering and dancing or they appears to be in their own world if you get my drift. It's one of the main reasons I haven't stopped by this location. No worries they have security guards and are well staffed. At times It's a little unkempt in front and the immediate area but the inside of the store is large well stocked and very tidy. Upon entering I immediately like what I see the store is packed with people kind smiling faces and aisle upon aisle of specialty items foods and such that makes my day and I grab a few things from every aisle that I visit. I'm obsessed with soo many things I have to be careful not spending too much money. BelGioioso Provolone Cheese And Genoa salami snacking rolls. It was delicious. 10/10 Mango cheesecake It wasn't very tasty the cheesecake was dry and flavorless the mango topping surprisingly didn't taste fresh or fruity. 4/10 I tossed it. Casamigos Reposado Tequila A gift for my daughter. 10/10 $70 Tillamook Dark Cherry Ice cream. Rich and creamy flavor but this batch had hardly any cherries. 8/10 Eggnog Store brand thick and rich I'm glad I bought some this year. 8/10 Chamoy pickle. Bought for my daughter. 8/10 They have a sandwich area for fresh made sandwiches the menu looks amazing I'll come back to try one including a pack of French butter. I am so glad I gave this location a visit the store is really nice and the staff are cool and helpful as well. It's my new favorite store. Until next time it's just me Shawn C.

VONS has a Fresh Pass subscription that costs $99 a year. One of the perks is maybe once a month…read morethey give away a free item, it's never a regular deal. They send an email on Saturday mornings, you can clip the offer, and you can get the free item during opening hours on Saturday or Sunday. Here's the problem, more times than not, they don't have the item in stock, and whichever manager seems to be working, ever knows anything about the item, the offer, or why they don't have it in stock, or anything. The store director never seems to be on duty those days either. They have a "Special" VIP phone number you can call, but unfortunately ALBERTSONS/VONS outsources their special VIP number outside of the USA. At that number they never seem to care enough to pass along your complaint to the store director. You would think that on the weekends when they're having the Freebie Giveaway - they would make sure they're stocked with the item, and all managers and employees working Saturday & Sunday would be informed about the item, where it's located in the store, and have a plan to give a similar item of equal quality to give if they're out of the item, or even better a RAIN CHECK for when the item is back in stock. After all we have paid almost $100 for this subscription and in this day & age of outrageous prices with everything, they should want to provide their subscription customers with that free item. And don't even get me started on them abolishing the Self Checkout and having to wait inline for a cashier for 20+ minutes for ONE or TWO items...

I saw Momofuku noodles, Italian ingredients, artisan cheeses, and Jen's ice cream in the freezer. Even though the items on their shelves were interesting, what they're really known for are their sandwiches. Their spicy Steve is an Italian sandwich on house made focaccia and it's their best seller. The sandwich was well dressed and loaded with flavor. I also got a "steak BLT", a delicious roast beef sandwich on sliced country bread. Olives is not scared of acid , which gives great tangy flavor along with their creamy aiolis. My wife and I enjoyed both of these sandwiches and I'd definitely come back for that spicy Steve

Belmont Heights is so lucky to have great local businesses like this one…read more Ma 'n Pa Grocery is the cutest pop-up grocery around.

You'll find an extensive selection of coleslaw, sandwiches, desserts, pre-marinated meats and more. I recently grabbed a turkey sandwich on a hoagie roll and a slice of lemon bundt cake (my payment for doing a social activity.) I noticed several people ordering their large steamed artichokes, so I'll need to return to fully understand the hype! Their catering menu is pretty extensive - it legit includes 20+ meat options.

The location is convenient and right on the corner, with decent seating and a good vibe from the music. I was also greeted as soon as I walked in, and the staff was quick to start taking my order and directed me to the burrito menu. I did have to take a moment to look over everything, but service overall was friendly and attentive. The coffee was actually pretty good, priced around $2.99-$3.99 with a few creamer options. As for the food, the burrito itself was okay--good, but nothing extraordinary or better than what you could make at home. It comes with meat, egg, cheese, salsa, and additional add-ons like potatoes and extra cheese are charged separately. My main concern was the condition of the space: it felt very cluttered, with items stacked everywhere and a noticeable lack of cleanliness that made it hard to overlook. While the atmosphere and convenience have their appeal, I would rate the experience a 3.2 out of 5 overall, mainly due to cleanliness concerns and the food not quite living up to the hype. Total $18 large coffee no refills and the burrito pretty pricey

Coby is one of the most rude, hostile, and inconsiderate employees I have ever encountered. I came…read moreinto the store today, 12/28/25 at around 9:00 PM, and he was working as the cashier. I had already shopped at this store earlier in the morning and the day before with no issues, so I did not expect any problems. Everything was fine until it was time to check out. When I attempted to pay, my card was not working properly. As soon as I informed Coby that I was having trouble with my card, he became visibly annoyed and angry. Instead of offering help or trying to resolve the issue, he immediately took an aggressive and hostile tone. I calmly asked if there was another way to process the payment or if I could manually enter my card information, but he yelled at me and said he "can't do that" and that I needed to leave. Rather than assisting me or calling someone who could help, he put my groceries on the floor, refused to continue the transaction, and repeatedly told me to leave the store because my card was not working. He made it very clear that he did not want me there and had no interest in helping, even though customer service should be part of his job. When I asked to speak to a supervisor or manager, he dismissively told me that he was the supervisor, leaving me with no other option. His behavior was humiliating, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. Other employees have helped me in similar situations before without any issue, but instead of helping, Coby chose to yell at me and force me out of the store. This experience made me feel disrespected and unwelcome, and it seriously reflects poorly on the store. No customer should be treated this way simply because of a temporary payment issue. Also keep in mind I've been coming to this Ralph's for over 7 years NEVER had such an rude experience ever since tonight Coby needs to be retrained or informed basic polite customer service this is absolutely unacceptable.

I come here looking for specific things like natural maple syrup and high quality flour. I tend to not get fruits and I tend to find more items here from small businesses than brand name spots, so I'll sporadically find things here to impulse buy. They also have lots of prepared self-service hot foods and a poke bar if you want a meal to go. My favorite thing here are their fresh baked chocolate chip cookies, priced at $3.75. They sell so many of them, that they're constantly putting out fresh batches. I've come in four times this year for it and it's been hot and fresh every time! I find that outstanding as I've been to stand alone bakeries with cookies that weren't as fresh as they are here. The cookie is massive and has high quality ingredients you can taste. It's as good of a chocolate cookie as you can find anywhere. Come get some, because if they keep up the high turnover, then I can keep eating them hot and fresh!
