    I went to Vons to pick up a quick gift card and flowers and as I came through the front door Gabby greeted me with a smile as she was dipping strawberries in chocolate. She was super sweet, I knew I had to buy a box. Not only did she start to tell me about the large harvest of strawberries this year but also offered me the fresh batch that she just dipped. She also customized it for me whether I wanted white chocolate or milk. What a doll! She made my day! Thank you for that kindness and warm smile!!!

    Long line on the one open checkout lane at 2pm on a Monday

    This store has a lot of good qualities, but the bad ones outweigh it. There's never enough staff on the checkout stations, meaning the lines get long when the ones that are manned are actually open. At most, there may be two checkout lines that are manned, but more often than not there's just one. If you have to buy something that can't be purchased through the self checkout stations, you either have to suffer through the long lines or just put everything back. Numerous times I've walked in, saw the lines and said "nope" before walking back out. Speaking of self checkout, the sign says "about 15 items." What does that even mean? Is 20 about 15? Is 25? 30? Doesn't matter, because it's never enforced, no matter how far over "about 15" the customer is pushing it. There are only four self checkout stations which is an extremely low number if you're only going to have one or two manned checkout stations open. As for the good? The shelves are always stocked and the staff is friendly, even though it's easy to tell they're stressed out, doing the work required by 2-3 times more people. I honestly don't know how they keep it together. Most are saints. Obviously the staffing decisions come from the higher upon the organization. Bottom line... there are many times when this Vons has lost my business to nearby Trader Joe's, Sprouts and even CVS, simply because I don't want to unnecessarily wait in an unnecessarily long line.

    Crap

    If I could give this bakery a negative amount of stars I would. For starters I placed my order 2 months in advance and spoke directly with the cake decorator. She requested that I follow up to make sure the system doesn't erase my order nor does the staff forget my order since I was hosting my party in LA for my one year old, but was coming from out of town. I spoke to the staff three times from the time I placed the order through 4 days before the party which was held on 1/10/2026. It was agreed to make a Tres Leches vertical facing cake with a photo of my son on it with simple music notes and balloons with the words "Happy Birthday" on it. Keep in mind the staff repeated the order correctly every time we spoke. Day of the party I went to pick up my cake and there was a HORRIBLE LINE going through the center of the cake across my baby's face, they slapped a vertical photo horizontally and the music notes just looked like globs and the balloons looked Deflated. To say this cake was a disaster is putting it lightly! We had to fight them for three hours in the store to remake this order to which they fought us with every excuse in the book (most incompetent ones in fact) in order to avoid making this right for us! Not to mention on our last follow up call before the party, some unprofessional/snooty staff member (young woman) was arguing and talking to another staff member (young male) while I was on the phone saying "Why would Lily (cake decorator) accept this order?! If we had left her this order she would have been pissed!" And they continued to talk about how annoyed they were with Lily about accepting this cake order even though it was SIMPLE. So this seemed like retaliatory actions in the form of making my one year old's cake order purposefully very LOW QUALITY just because they didn't like the order. This was wickedly unprofessional, they had months in advance for a simple cake order, they fought us on a job they had plenty of time to prepare for and for THREE hours did not want to fix the cake but instead feed us UNACCEPTABLE EXCUSES. They ruined my son's birthday cake and the staff is unprofessional and highly incompetent. Don't ruin your kids birthday by coming to this bakery!!!!!

    I wish I had an excuse to buy this cake. It is too cute!

Both my mom and I agreed that we will never come back here again. My mom had come to get a refund because one of the pears she bought the day before was completely rotten. The market manager refunded $2 to her credit card, which was fine. The real problem started after that. When my mom was trying to drive out of the parking lot, the gate bar went up after scanning the parking ticket, but then suddenly came crashing down. If my mom hadn't quickly backed up, it could have hit her car. The bigger issue was that after that, the gate bar never went back up again. Cars behind us had to use another exit nearby. My mom, who was very shaken, went to ask the market manager what to do, but she said she didn't know. (At first, I stayed in the car and had to tell the cars behind us to use the other exit because the gate was not working). I was very upset when I heard that, so I went inside and asked the manager for the building management's contact number. She gave me a number, but when I called, the person who answered kept saying she couldn't find the address even after I repeated it more than ten times. Eventually, she told me they no longer manage that building. So I asked her to provide the contact number for the property management that handles the building, and she gave me another number. but it led to an automated system. After selecting the emergency option, a man answered, but even after I clearly spelled out "Zion" multiple times (Z as in Zebra, I as in Ice cream, O as in Oscar, N as in Nancy), he still couldn't understand and then told me that they no longer manage the building and hung up. We arrived at the market around 5 PM and didn't get out until 7 PM. No one helped us at all. After the call, I went back to the market manager again, but she still said she didn't know anything. It made me so angry--how can a manager not even know the property management contact for the building they work in? I also have low blood sugar, so when I get hungry, I start shaking. I ended up buying a piece of bread from the Paris Baguette inside the market. I didn't have cash with me, so I had to pay $3.50 with my card, but thankfully, the staff there was very kind. In the end, my brother had to come all the way from Burbank to get a new parking ticket for us so we could finally get out--after two hours. If he hadn't come, we might have been stuck there even longer or had to abandon the car. Thinking about it now still makes me extremely angry. The customer service is terrible, the building management is a mess, and there was no security at all. I never want to come back to this place. We spent two hours there, from 5 PM to 7 PM, completely wasting our time. Because of this, I couldn't do anything I had planned for the rest of the afternoon and evening. It was an absolute nightmare. My mom was also very upset and couldn't believe a place like this exists. FYI) Every time I come to this market, there is absolutely no cell phone signal., which is another major downside.

It was so beautiful and intricately arranged that I was sure they painstakingly did this themselves. But, no, they got it at LA G&C and went on to describe all the wonderful offerings in such glowing terms that we decided to go out of our way to give it a try. And so, on what could be called a rare dreary day in LA, we made our way to the up and coming hip neighborhood now called Melrose Hill. If you haven't checked out the area, you should probably Google it -- this is a dynamic area undergoing restoration. The main developers aim to keep the character of old Los Angeles while attracting the latest and best venues -- cafes, restaurants, bars -- among them Los Angeles Grocery & Cafe. There is a large parking lot accessed directly off Melrose. When it is time to leave, you simply drive through to the side street exit. Easy! Look at my photos -- the place is barn-like, keeping its rafters from the original building true to the promise of the building owners, with lots of unique inventory and room to add much, much more. You will find things you don't see elsewhere. We snapped up a bunch of items to try, including a few of my all time faves: gnocchi, sunflower butter, and egg salad. I would have gotten the pistachio butter but it has sugar and I like my nut butters sugar-free. If we hadn't been pressed for time, we would likely have loaded the cart with more, so that means a return visit. I want these people to thrive, so please consider coming over here and while you are at it, check out the rest of Melrose Hill, just following Melrose Avenue farther eastward. It won't be long before the entire area is the best place to be in L.A.

I also happened to pick up some good protein shakes on sale there as well as noted some other staples that I would find in big chain supermarkets. I found the aisles to be well stocked. Prices everywhere are going up so I wouldn't say this is the cheapest place to shop but for what you get it's not bad, and if you are looking to get a variety of what you need for Asian cooking this is a good spot for it. Service was quick and friendly at the register as this no frills and casual market. There is a parking garage behind the grocery as part of the mall but it can get crowded on weekends so if you're lucky you can find street parking but watch for street signs and some areas and streets are not in the best neighborhoods adjacent so be wary of your surroundings.

I asked her how things worked and she explained it all. The kefir/kombucha bottles are $4 for 16 oz and they have 3 of each on tap. I asked Marcy about one before realizing everything had a QR code and you can easily pull up the ingredients and descriptions/directions for each item. I'm getting away from plastics and this place scratches me right where I itch! They sell just about anything you can imagine! I was so impressed w the selection! They even have produce and fresh sourdough bread! The day old is 50% off and I'm so mad I was in a pinch and had to buy store bought bread, otherwise I would've tried it today. I can't say enough. Even the music was fire and I was shazaming and jamming. Shower gels, body care, non seed oils, baking mixes, laundry pods and things you see in bulk at like Sprouts, but the quality and sourcing seems to be better. Some items don't need jars and they sell paper bags for .10 each. I did a kombucha/kefir tasting. Marcy brought these steel bowls over. No waste at all! If you drink the POG kefir soda at Erewhon and love it, try it here! It's made w fruit and is noticeably better! And POG there is my fave. Just try it at Re_!!! So when I was checking out I asked Marcy about being more prepared and bringing my own glasses next time. They've thought of everything!!!! There's iPads and scales in the front of the store. They weigh your empty containers and give you a sticker with the tare weight and then subtract it from the weight at the end! Revolutionary! They add 3% for the employees. I should've added more. Marcy was amazing and worth it. I'm honestly not big on tipping everyone for just breathing but if all the employees are like Marcy, they are worth way more than 3%! If you sign up you get 100 points instantly, $1 = 1 pt, and at 200 pts you get $10! It's not hard to spend in places like this but it's beyond worth it. I keep seeing things about the harms of plastic and don't get me started on all the other crap in our food. I foresee this as a new staple in my diet and home. They even have cleaning products! I'm getting my spices here from now on too! I'm a fan and I'll be back! Thank you Marcy and to the owners that had this amazing idea!
