Von, is a credible place to shop! Nice staff, clean and they have most everything you need! If you need help to find something best Time is before 1:00pm because most staff is available on the floor! Not the most expensive but not the best prices on most items! read more

There is a nice Starbucks inside of this location There is no self check out here, just a 15 items or less express line. The employees were friendly I'd say the store take getting used to because it's organized strangely and things are a tad scattered around I'd come back in the future read more

Went to get some groceries and wine with my girl, and because my wallet had been stolen the week prior, all I had was my official CAdmv license on my phone (not like I get carded usually anyway) the night manager Martha was giving me and my girl a hard time and being extremely rude, inconsiderate, and intentionally problematic. She made me go all the way back to my house to grab my backup ID and my Passport, then when I came back to purchase the wine, refused to sell me it for no reason. This is profiling, unprofessional, and unprovoked abusive behavior of customers. I used to love this Vons, and now I refuse to go back there. Shameful really read more

Vons is not a store that a customer can pick up less few items and be on their way. Hwy 76 is slow enough on the return trip home but Vons adds insult to time lost with being constantly understaffed, only having three checkout lines open, and no self-checkout lines for convenience. Customers using the express line with should not be using a dozen coupons because it takes time for cashier to verify each coupon, which the line is no longer express. This practice should be stopped because each coupon doubles the time it takes to check items. I called at 5 PM and asked to discuss this issue with a manager but was told they left for the day so the store essentially isn't being managed. What if someone wanted ato shoplift? Vons exposes itself to that. Sprouts is just as good and at least they have a self-checkout where I can purchase a few items in under 10 minutes. read more

Since shopping there in person, I haven't found the floral department to be friendly, nor did they offer enough product for the $5 Friday bouquets -- 3 bunches is not enough for the day. However, I have engaged with several really nice checkers, and the manager was very helpful when there was an issue about recycling. The butcher there has been very responsive and helpful. The new security measures make it a less inviting establishment... but I guess I understand the need to deter shoplifters. I try to shop during less busy times when operations seem to run smoothly, however, it seems like they are not prepared with open check stands when the crunch comes. There have been multiple lines 20 customers long. Not sure what to suggest, but this has been a problem, especially during holidays. read more

Long lines, poorly staffed. Employees spend more time worrying about the pokemon machine than they do working their jobs. Went there one day and the manager was actually messing with the machine during store hours. read more

This review is only for the Bakery. Ordered a custome birthday cake for my nephew. A nice 8 inch chocolate cake was $19.99. Staff was super nice. They put a few basketball hoops on the cake and also gave us candles. Easy experience. Order the flavor and design you like, pay ahead, and pick it up. Easy and fast. Coming back here for another birthday cake soon read more

What sets this store apart is its impressive selection of different ethnic foods, allowing you to explore and enjoy a variety of culinary traditions from around the world. There were times I needed a little of this, or a little of that (spice wise) and they carried it. One of the standout features is their excellent bakery. I have ordered many birthday cakes from here, and each one has been consistently delicious, reasonably priced, and beautifully decorated. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just indulging in a treat, their cakes never disappoint. They also have a wide variety of Donuts and Cookies. While the lines can sometimes be long, it's a small price to pay knowing that this is one of the few grocery stores that do not have self-checkout stations. This commitment helps bring jobs to people, and it's a refreshing change in this automated age. The store's hours of operation are also fantastic, providing ample opportunity for shopping at your convenience. Cleanliness is another strong point--the store is always immaculate, making your shopping experience pleasant and hassle-free. Additionally, they offer a kiosk where you can pay your DMV registration, adding to the convenience factor. Overall, this grocery store is an outstanding choice for quality products, excellent service, and community support. Highly recommend! oh, and shoutout to JASMINE!! She has a great personality and interacts with almost everyone. She's one of those people that make a customer feel valued. There are other cashiers that are friendly as well, but she goes above and beyond. read more

My partner and I stopped in on our way to Palomar and was greeted by the kind hearted and sweet torrie. We had a little chat at the cart returns and had the pleasure of bumping into her inside. Her positive energy and sunny disposition made our whole shopping experience wonderful. I hope she gets a big raise because she's a gem. read more

Bakery! The bakery staff!!! Fantastic work! 5 days before her birthday chocolate and vanilla cake, different color frosting... and the filling was not too sweet with fruits... The staff was super friendly and worked with my photos to make it look just like we wanted. Everyone else quoting me 3x the price. Thank you so much! read more

I shop here regularly because it's clean and the staff is nice . Today I am reviewing Bernell. 1st when I got in the store and opened my phone I noticed I needed an app update. Never a good thing for a dinosaur like me.! I was getting frustrated because I couldn't access my deals and I was taking pictures of all the tags that I couldn't get to register on my phone for the checker. Bernell greats my melt down with a smile. He sympathized that he had the same problems with updates also. He showed me sone shortcuts and actually got me a digital coupon I missed. He made me smile and didn't make me feel stupid. I was very impressed by him . He is a great ambassador for Vons. read more

The Deli staff is incompetent. If you ask for a specific thickness, you will get what they want to cut. When you tell them this is not what you asked for, they will say that's what you asked for. Went to the Vons Deli for the last time.... Front of house, Got my favorites. read more

I have been shopping at this Vons for years and it's been getting progressively worse and worse. They're under staffed every weekend and the cashiers and baggers that do work there, have no sense of urgency or care. I would avoid this Vons until something is corrected. read more

I decided to do my grocery shopping at this Von's Market tonight since my local Walmart Supercenter Store is usually crowded. It was great tonight and more stress free with less customers inside this market. I noticed that Vons has a lot of their products on sale tonight. There prices are really competitive with other grocery stores like Ralphs, Walmart, and Sprouts. I bought 14 items tonight at my local Vons Market. Romero was my cashier and he was very friendly to me, when he was scanning my grocery items. I told Romero I did not have my Vons Club Membership Card with me but I asked Romero if he could just type in my home telephone number? Romero said sure and then Romero asked me for my landline home telephone number. I gave it to him and he was able to bring up my account was in my mother's name but I told Romero I also have access to their Von's card. I received some really great discounts from using this Vons Club Membership Card. These items I purchased was the 4 total cans of the Campbell's Soup in Cream of Chicken and the Old Fashioned Vegetable. The price is $7.16. The next items are the 2 cans of the Signature Chicken Noodle Soup. The price is 99 cents each. The total cost was $1.98. Then I bought 2 Valentines Whitman's Assorted Milk and Dark Chocolate Candy. The price is 2 for $6.00. I also bought the one package of Nabisco Oreo Thins Cookies in the Lemon Flavored. The price is $4.49. I also bought the Russell Stovers Assorted Cremes in Milk and Dark Chocolate Candy. The price is $4.49. The Signature Blueberry Bagels, the quantity is 6 total bagels. The price is $2.29. The total cost of these 15 items is $30.91. I also bought the 4 pack of the G2 Gel Roller Type Black Ink Pens. The price is $8.99. I paid for my grocery bill with my credit card account. I received excellent customer service from Romero my cashier he was very helpful and personable to me. I will come back and shop here at this Vons Market again soon. read more

That lady Jennifer is rude and lazy ask her to check something for me and she told me she don't have time ‍she sucks

Destined to be closed under pending Kroger (Ralph's) ownership shortly anyway, I guess it shouldn't be surprising that this place has the most sullen, unfriendly and uncooperative grocery store staff I've ever seen. If I wanna be treated like I'm a POS, I shop at Aldi where the employees assiduously avoid answering questions or helping you...but that's your punishment for lower prices. When I took a hard look at those confusing receipts the machine drills out, I noticed incorrect pricing on advertised items I purchased, after the fact. I talked to three different people at checkout stands who absolutely refused to make some adjustments to credit me back, even though I had their flyer in hand. I asked if there was a manager, of course. And they all just said no, as if there's nobody running the ship and they're all braindead. I've had this happen before, and they were more than happy to accommodate me, so something has changed...probably reflective of current bad (or chronically absent!) management. I've lived in this area nearly 35 years and I've never been treated so unpleasantly at this store. They really didn't give a shite. So, to punish them, I simply had a checker (with resting beeyotch face) painstakingly/manually re-enter everything I purchased as returns for credit. I will never shop here again...their everyday prices are ridiculous anyway, so I really don't care. I'll just drive a few more miles and go to WinCo, which is a great store with enthusiastic and helpful/conversational employees! read more

They couldn't break a 100 for me. Like u are a grocery store right? I get it was early. But you can't tell me the only money in the store is two 5's and 10 ones in a till. Lol like a pizza man. Lazy lazy lazy. The was no one behind me. Wasn't like i was holding up the line or anything. Oh and I think every time I've been here the checkers move like molasses. End up waiting forever. A few months ago I wanted balloons for me and my wife's 11 year anniversary. Mind u it is early. But I had like 15 minutes to get back home with the balloons before my wife woke up. And I got all the stuff to make a locks bagle for my wife's so I was pushing it. They send this young kid over. He grabbed the wrong anniversary balloon which I let go because im in a rush. This kid had never tied balloons in his life. He had no idea what he was doing. He almost lost the big balloon. And I got three regular ones. Strings were all miss matched lol. I didn't care. I had to be like dude. Let me do it. The kid was fine I felt bad for him. All nervous poor guy. What pissed me off is the Mgr that called him over and two other workers saw him struggling and didn't help him. In fact they saw and booked it like oh shit I better get out of here before I have to help him. It was painful. Its was so bad I was like how has he never tied a balloon before. But I get were in a new day and age. Even water balloons don't have to be tied anymore. And u can fill up 100 in 5 seconds. Shiiiit. Tied those for days when I was a kid. 3 hours for a ten minute water balloon fight . read more

The presumable manager on nights at this location is rather rude and not very helpful. I had 4 items. One of which was a bag of shrimp listed at 17.98 for the bag. I was charged 27.00. I guess she thought I was trying to get the 5 dollar Friday deal. So instead of trying to correct the price she asked me if I wanted to return it, which is already embarrassing... you better believe I said I wanted to return it. I even showed her the photo of the listed price and there was absolutely NO recourse. So I, along with the 6 other people in line in addition to the debate over the price of a 2lb bag of shrimp waited for her to finish the refund transaction. She spoke to me in a way that made me feel like it was MY fault for not reading the advertised price correctly. Absolute worst customer service in addition to a poorly stocked location. NOTHING like the Carlsbad Vons. Over there you're greeted with a smile and not spoken to like an insect. read more

Vons - 17.98 .... NOT 27.00 - Grocery Near Me - Oceanside, California

EPIC FAIL! Where do I start? Three days before a family birthday, I ordered a cake online with one of their Disney designs. Day of Pickup: ME: Here to pick up the cake. VONS Head baker: What cake? Oh, that cake was supposed to be ready for pickup in two weeks. ME: Um....here is the email with confirmation for today's date. VONS Head baker: Oh, we sent an email canceling because we didn't have the design pieces. ME: There is no email. I even checked SPAM. VONS Head baker: Ummmm. well we have no cake. We can make one, but only have a couple of Disney pieces or we can scan a design. ME: You are kidding, right? Um....don't want a Marvel figurine..go with scanned design. VONS Head baker: We will take $5 off for the confusion and no charge for a scanned Disney picture on the cake. ME: (Thinking in my head they should give more than $5 but at this point party starts in two hours and I need a cake!) VONS Head baker: We need an hour to decorate, but you should have a filling. ME: I just want a single-layer 1/4 sheet marble with whipped topping. VONS Head baker: I recommend a filling because people complain that our cakes are VERY DRY. (I am not kidding....she said this!!!!) ME: I really don't want more whipped cream inside and on top. VONS Head baker: oh, it will be dry you need it. ME: (Thinking Oh crap! This is a nightmare!) Another Customer waiting for his cake: Heard our conversation and his facial reaction: priceless. Picked up his cake and checked the box to make sure it was okay and he left shaking his head that he made a mistake too. An hour later.... ME: The world's most ugly decorated cake! The Disney scanned picture was cute, but it was not put on very well. You could see that it was a picture slapped on, so one could get a cutout from a homemade printer or from a coloring book from Dollar Tree and slap it on the cake. Colors: We asked for red, yellow, and black to match Mickey Mouse's colors and instead received a dark wine burgundy border with a dark yellow mustard stripe around the center that clashed against the picture. Are they color blind, too? WTF were they thinking? Did they even think that would look appealing on a cake? Pink, blue, or green would have been better than that!! Neon or anything but those colors! OMG, Walt Disney is rolling in his grave. A couple of hours later... guests and birthday recipients were confused and puzzled by the cake colors that clashed with their offset print design...not to mention all that semi-dry cake with more whipped frosting inside and on top of the cake. No one wanted seconds...except the dog. Could have picked up a tub of cool whip and called it a day with what VONS was trying to conceal. Never in my life will any one of us order a cake from VONS or pick up anything they made in their bakery aisle. What was worse was all the lies from the head baker as to why the order was not there...but at least she told one truth .. their cakes are DRY. read more

We had never had a cake made at Vons bakery before, but I'm so glad we did! It was beautiful, and tasted amazing. We will be going back that's for sure! read more

Disabled people be aware!! Vons lets fake service dogs do whatever in their store. I usually like this store. BUT one day I was shopping with my seizure alert dog and one of the persons who works there let her pet husky dog run up to my dog and then a boston terrier tried to come at my dog four different times growling and barking. the human had to pick up their dog and quickly go away to get it to stop. Twice was in front of people who work at Vons. Then that same boston was checking out next to us and the store leader with long red hair was talking to the dog while the owner was holding the dog( not a service dog thing). When I spoke to the leader to voice my concerns she denied talking to the dog and told me that she couldn't ask if the dog was a service dog. . So she is in a leadership roll and doesn't know the rules/laws. Yes you can ask if it's a service dog and what does it do for the person. And if the dog is not acting like a service dog you need to ask the person to take their dog out of the store. read more

I have been using this VONS for 20 years. Today, wearing a facemask to prevent getting coronavirus I stood back from the register so as to not block the crossing aisle that intersects the product aisles. I let people pass in front of me while the line slowly got shorter. One man walks up, tries to stand in front of me. I reminded him I am next. He look confused for some reason. Then an employee came along, with the same confused look. I repeated myself three times v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y that I was 'l-e-t-t-i-n-g p-e-o-p-l-e g-o b-y." This got another confused expression. I then repeated myself even s-l-o-w-e-r and LOUDER. The employee acted offended or alarmed, or what I don't know. I just want to tell you that allowing people to use the aisle in front of you - and not willfully blocking them is not a bizarre action to take. I hope some of you can understand that without me having to hold a 1st grade class on common sense and comprehension of the English language. I left the store with my heart pounding at how stupid some people truly are. read more

I wanted to take a moment to review the bakery here, specifically to shout-out Amanda, who completely went above and beyond making my sister's Halloween-themed birthday cake. First, when I went to place my order on Friday, she came over and even though it was the end of her shift, happily took time to take my order down. Then, when I came to pick it up on Sunday, she recognized me and rushed over excitedly to show me. The cake was perfect. She had even remembered that I said my sister doesn't like spiders or spider webs! It was so adorable, really gorgeous, well-crafted, fun, and delicious! It was clear she had taken extra time and care on my order to make it just right. I cannot tell you how much this means to me. Our family has been going through a very hard time and this put such a big smile on my sister's face! Thank you so much, Amanda!! read more

Racist manager Martha thinks all white women look the same and accosted me on my first ever visit to this store and threw me out while I was trying to purchase food to feed my three very young children. I'm epileptic and can't drive and this is the closest grocery store within walking distance to my new home (I object to walmart due to my political beliefs and refuse to shop there) I guess I am never spending another penny at any Safeway affiliated store. I'm sorry if you have had a problem with a woman who might superficially resemble me, but try verifying that you have the right person next time. I am so upset and just genuinely mortified that this manager was making these absurd accusations that I am homeless (false) on drugs (absolutely false) and that I was stealing (I even went as far as to flip my purse and my insulated cooler bag upside down and shook them to show this hateful woman that I'm not whoever she assumed I was) I have never felt so embarrassed and alienated in my life, thanks Martha! If this is the standard of customer service that Vons is holding itself to, that's pretty pathetic. Had to walk about a mile down the way to Ralph's to get my groceries so my kids don't go hungry tonight read more

I have been trying to get through to Von's customer service or home delivery but this is the fourth time DoorDash hasn't brought either our water or gingerale. Today it is the water. the other day it was gingerale and time before that was the water. Von's has always been amenable to deliver the missing goods but this is getting old. Help!

I am a new uber eats driver and recently started picking up orders from this store. The woman that works with the uber drivers is so terrible. She is condescending, she is incredibly aggressive...like she throws cases of soda around so you'll move faster. CASES. OF SODA. I am polite and soft spoken and she is still awful to me. She isn't helpful, I get incredibly stressed when I have to go to this location for an order, and I want everyone that places orders with uber eats to please use a different location if you can, as this woman is degrading your drivers. This store has lost me as a customer entirely, and I will spread the word to all my mom friends to stop getting their grocery orders from this vons location. read more

I love this store. The staff are amazing. Especially through this mess of Covid-19. We shopped today and as we checked out our checker had a face mask on. Hair over his eyes so no comment tact. Hardly greeted us. Even before this mess he was super distant. Everyone else is so great. I know he can't cut his hair now but he can pull it back. Say hello. Engage. This time sucks for everyone. Some of us look forward to grocery shopping because it's our only interaction. Someone please talk to this kid. Having his hair down over his mask. Zero interaction was so disheartening. read more

This Vons is really nicely laid out, clean and organized like all Vons. Maybe pricier than Albertsons but if you have a rewards card you can get some decent savings. We saved 41% off our total. What made this store a little more special was the great personality of our cashier, Kiana. She kept us laughing through the entire transaction. It's so unexpected to have a memorable moment during something as mundane as grocery shopping. But it really brightened our day. So this review is for Kiana, a 5 star cashier! You'll go far in life with a great personality and attitude like yours! read more

This is not the first time that I get home from visiting this Vons store and discovering that my clipped digital coupon savings was never applied to my purchase. I even double check my cellphone as the items show "clipped" before I went into the store. The first time this happened, I went back and got the price difference from the store manager. What a big hassle when everyone in line is staring at you while the store manager is attending to your refund. The second and subsequent times, I just took the loss. from now on, I just go to other nearby grocery stores, there's plenty in the area. read more

The deli manager was very unprofessional. I will not be returning to this store after a very uncomfortable experience.

Well i never yelped a grocery store before but I've had it with this Vons. Every week we go to Vons for our weekly fried chicken. First 90% of the time I have to wait 15 minutes for them to cook it. Think that they would have a ton made if they are advertising it for $5 Fridays. 2nd hello why can't you count to 8? This week I bought 2 8 pc deal. I get home and both bags have 7 pc in them. This is the 3rd time. Omg really. Plus they will give u a leg instead of a beast Rip off. It is always the same girl that is working. Used to be a guy and we never had any issues. He had great service with no mistakes. Bummmer Vons!! read more
