I am on a mission to find Milk Duds. I called the store ahead of time to let them know that I wanted to grab all of the Milk Duds that they had in the store and not only did Johana answer the phone speak clearly and help me out, she also grabbed all the Milk Duds and had them at the service desk when I arrived. Thank you Johana! If Vons doesn't give you a promotion, hit me up, because I got a job for you! read more

This Vons is not good. I go here sometimes because it is convenient for me, but I usually try to avoid it most of the time. Why is this Vons so terrible? 1. They got rid of the self-checkout. Now there is no other option, but for me to wait in line for 15 minutes in the "express" checkout. This place doesn't have the number of cashiers needed to properly deal with the influx of people. Bring back the self-checkouts! That was so much faster. 2. There are too many weirdos. And I'm not just talking about the crazy homeless panhandlers outside. Those people are terrible too, but my main concern is the gross hippies/homeless that come in without shoes on. These people are unhygienic and need to be told to leave the store. Am I really the only one who cares about this? 3. Like all Vons, the prices are outrageous. There are some okay deals, but the majority of the everyday items are marked up considerably, even for California. Things that I want to complain about, but not necessarily Vons fault: 1. No more plastic/free bags. Are you freaking kidding me California? They literally got rid of everything November 9th. It was a little upsetting. 2. Homeless people. 3. Hippies. read more

This Von's is the best in Ventura everyone is so friendly and they get you through the line quickly. I had the pleasure talking to Bill and Frank today. Knowing how busy those two men are it was nice that they took time out of their day to talk. It was great seeing Evelyn giving samples and dressed in holiday attire. This neighborhood Vons is the best!!!! read more

Vons - Serving Ventura since 1960. - Grocery Near Me - Ventura, California

I used them for catering a small party we were having. I got finger sandwiches and fruit and veggie platter. It was all fresh and tasty! They had my order ready to go when I got there and even gave me extra condiments. None of my guest even knew it came from Vons! Very impressed, will use again. read more

Went into the Starbucks location inside this vons I live out in Oxnard but I do work in Ventura and this Starbucks is perfect for me right in the middle of my commute i have to say this Starbucks employee named Connie was such a sweetheart I don't usually order from Starbucks so I'm pretty much clueless to what I actually like LOL so she made me the new drink i believe it's called an iced cloud caramel macchiato let me tell you it's sooo delicious Connie is definitely knowledge on the menu she had great customer service and I might hit that starbucks from now on read more

This Von's is my neighborhood one. Most frequented. They got everything, and it's not too large to navigate. Only issue is it's pretty busy, like all the time. So if you're in a rush, probably don't stop at this one. Maybe try the one in Pierpont. read more

The reason for my 3 stars is because I have shopped there for many years without encountering any problems. Just recently I became unemployed and qualified for WIC. I forgot my WIC card at home but I was hoping there was another way around it if I gave my card information but a total of three ladies did not even attempt it. There was absolutely no line when I was there. I told them Food 4 Less was able to and still, they did not try. Long story short, I left the store and went to Smart and Final across the street and this gentleman was very busy but listened to my problem and sure enough, just like Food 4 Less, it was successful. All he had to do was put in my card number manually. Vons, all I ask for is for you to show a little more care. Just try. It wouldn't have hurt at all. read more

I love when Delaney is working the drive up and go position. I can always expect fast service as well as my order beign accurate. As soon as I pull up I call that number it rings maybe twice and she is on it. Every time I have gone for drive up and she isn't working I get pretty bad service. There have been 2 times I called the number and stores number and NOBODY answered. So ended up going in to flag someone down. That defeats the purpose tho of drive up and go. read more

Spoke with Ashley, Jocelyn in Phoenix AZ, Angelica N Micki at the Ventura Thompson store regarding delivery being late over 50 minutes N not notified right away, My delivery time was 6-8pm received at 8:55pm, also being delivered to incorrect address. Our driver Ronna was very helpful N made sure we got all our packages. But all was resolved including incorrect items being delivered. Jocelyn, Angelica N Micki all pitched in N corrected the situation. Making sure all is right with a helpful friendly professional attitude. Definitely all are five stars. Thank u all for making it safer during these scary Covid19 times. to all. read more

the selection is good. The beer selection is particularly good for a chain supermarket. My wife likes the bakery selection. Tonight, we had a complete fiasco with the self check out. The machine locked up when the attendant tried to approve our ID for purchasing wine. No idea what happened, but it was a 10 minute process, and she was a little snarky. I want so badly to use the self checkouts at vons, but every time we try, something always goes wrong, and when there is a glitch, the staff always acts like its our fault. I promise we aren't stupid. We just have bad luck with self checkout machines and we get the goofy attendants. read more

I just moved to town and always shopped at Milan's before. Always loved it. I have been here twice and they are out of basics. Tonight it was chicken breast. Really? No chicken breasts. Never had that issue with my old Vons. read more

This Vons is very clean and the sushi is great. Vons is a "big box" store that gets it. It's not quite a ma and pa, but the train their employees to care and go the extra mile. read more

This Vons gets the job done if I am pressed for time, too lazy to make the drive to Winco, or my neighbors decide we should do some grilling in 6.2 minutes, but darn are their prices high! Was in not long ago just to pick up some staples like a box of cereal and walked out $52 dollars lighter. The prices at Winco are still cheaper even if you add Vons Club and couponing (which I detest spending any time on). The store is clean and the checkers friendly but my entire philosophy since college is: get what you need at the cheapest price possible or the only thing you'll be eating is raman. read more

Vons - Halloween decorations at vons - Grocery Near Me - Ventura, California

Kudos to Vons and their employees for providing a necessary service during the covid-19 outbreak. I came the day after shelter in place was implemented and was surprised that most items on my list were available. Plenty of fresh produce. Beef and pork in the meat dept although no chicken. Obviously no TP. I was mostly impressed that management had taped off 6' spacing for the check out stands and had people lining up the aisles so they could spread apart, and all check stands had hand sanitizer. It got rather busy and they called all dept heads to the front and opened all but a couple of registers so no one was in line for very long. Finally, I found all of the staff to be especially kind and calm in spite of what must be a rather challenging time to be working in such an industry. read more

Vons is taking orders for toilet paper, scheduling 4 hour delivery times then not delivering the product. The do call or email you notifying you of any cancellation. I lost a half of day of work waiting for a delivery that never came. They are still doing this and what's even worse is I've heard from employees that management took those orders for themselves and their families/friends and that is why their inventory log online is thinking they have the product but it's being rerouted with no regard for the wasted time or loss of income of those taking time off work t wait for their orders. read more

I don't know, as other reviewers have stated, how this Vons compares to others in Ventura. I will say that it is 'run-of-the-mill versus Vons in other cities that I've visited. I found everything I needed, but the one thing that bothered me is that the AISLES ARE SO NARROW!!! Seriously. read more

Could be an anomaly, but I tried out the delivery service for the first time this week trying to be strict about quarantine for a vulnerable relative. Well, the food never arrived on Saturday. They called and said it was delayed. Then it didn't arrive on Sunday either. Now I'm stuck at home with an empty fridge, and no word from Vons at all. Finally, Monday morning I called and they said I would have to cancel the order and start all over again. Yeah, no. read more

This is an email I sent to Vons - and I have not even had the courtesy of a reply. to vons: Please forward this at least the supervisor level of customer service. I have used Von's delivery service for several years. I am a disabled Vietnam Veteran who rarely leaves my home, so you service had been a wonderful solution for me. I set up delivery of the above-referenced order for Wednesday, 11/22 between 11 and 3 p.m. About 730 that morning, I received a call from someone at Von's that your computers were down, delivery would be 4-5 hours late,the driver would call when he left the store, and you were out of the protein we had ordered for our Thanksgiving dinner - a bone in turkey breast. Whoever called said she would put an 'appropriate substitute' in our order. When the driver arrived, he had 20 lb. FROZEN turkey. I told him to take it back - it would take 2-3 days to deforst the bird, so it was useless to me. I called and waited for an hour to talk to someone. I was told there was nothing that could be done, but I would get a $35 credit on the account. I don't know if I will ever use Von's delivery service again. It was bad enough that you send us a frozen turkey the afternoon before Thanksgiving. But you have a delivery service, but NO ONE was willing to drive a use-able protein to me. I just thought someone should know. I've been spit on in uniform, insulted, and treated pretty poorly as a Vietnam vet - but I could never imagine being treated as poorly as I was by your customer service personnel regarding the above.

I ordered groceries that were to have been delivered yesterday between 5-6pm, and they never showed. I called to inquire and put us on hold for over an hour before the hung up. My card was still charged yet no groceries were ever delivered. I called the store directly around 8pm yesterday and they said to call the store at 3am to complain to the people packing the food up for deliveries. Who even advises that to a customer?!?! I ordered previously, but my groceries were delivered at 10:30pm. This particular location needs courses in communication and how to provide adequate customer service. read more

On $5 Friday Feb 7, despite the advertised 8 pc chicken special, all that was left was fried and a few pieces of 'baked' (actually stewed in lots of liquid) AT DINNERTIME, about 5:30. People at the Deli counter asked for rain checks but one lady hollered out...."We don't give those here, you have to go to the front"...ok, wasted 10 minutes....Then on Saturday, at around 6:30 NO baked or Habenero....and the pans had been carefully washed and put back in the case. This is typical! A few weeks ago I wanted 3 items on my Just for You list. Salmon at the meat counter.....no one was working and I decided to see how long I would have to wait for some service....the kid piling bananas in produce saw me and we made eye contact. I finally asked him if anyone was working.....His response "maybe he's on a break"....then he went back to his bananas....After 5 minutes I had ONE of the three items I wanted but was not going to give them my patronage. I talked to a night manager and explained what happened, and did get an apology.....again, typical. I don't like to have to watch the prices like a hawk but most of the time there is an error on the amount charged. It's hard to figure out the prices on the register tape because instead of the price, they show lots of math shenanigans! I will look at the store "specials" less and less because to save $1 is not worth the hassle. I know prices and see items on sale where you can only buy 2 or 3 and that same item is NORMALLY several $$ less at Winco and you can buy as many as you want I am not a shill for Wiinco but EVERY time I need help finding something, a worker will go out of the way to help me find it. OR, I get an apology if the chicken will take a few more minutes to finish cooking..... read more

I used the order online and pick up at store option bc it seemed like the most appropriate option with the all the "Corona virus" precautions we should be taking. I live in Camarillo and a 2min drive from my nearest Vons BUT wanted to avoid the people and chaos and possible germs. The site allowed me to order what I needed and gave me a time slot to pick up my items. I ordered Friday and scheduled a Sunday pickup. I park in the designated online order spot and call the phone number on the sign- only to be forwarded to a voice mail box that hadn't been set up yet! I try a few more times and decide to get off and ask inside (inconvenience #1) I walk to the customer service counter and let them know I'm picking up an online order.The woman calls another employee and informs her that an online order customer is up front. A young girl comes with a bag with 2 boxes of spaghetti and says "Someone should have called you to inform you that the rest of your order was not filled" I inform her that "No one called me and I'm just now finding this out!" I ask why wasn't I notified by email or a phone call as I just drove 20minutes to pick up my order? (Inconvenience #2) She had no answer other than I'm not sure why you weren't called- you should have been called. I ask to speak to a manager. A gentleman comes over and I explain that I'm upset bc I chose a convenient option and all I've been is inconvenienced! His employees are walking around with T-shirt's advertising the Order online and we bring your groceries to you BUT that's not what is happening at all- I explain that had I been called I wouldn't have wasted my time to drive 20min for 2 boxes of spaghetti I could've got at the Vons 2min from my house! He apologized and said they're trying to get this new service under control bc it's been insane lately with the high demand of toiletry items. He then said we could grab items off the shelf from our original order or anything else we may need at No charge for the inconvenience. The young girl went to the back and grabbed two packs of toilet paper for us- I was able to grab some items off my order. In the end I was satisfied that the Manager made it right- i SO appreciate that he listened to me and understood my frustration and he allowed us to get the items we could find at no charge. Kudos to him! Thank you Sir for your understanding. read more

I am giving two stars due to the shoppers in regards to delivery. If they're out of an item they find horrible replacements. The items they have they leave off half the time and groceries that are due to come at 7p show up around 9 or 10pm. It's the worst grocery delivery service by far. I ordered a raw turkey breast to roast for dinner and the shopper picked up instead a cold pre cooked half turkey breast packaged in disgusting gelatin. Another time I ordered potatoes and they claimed to not have any?? A third time I ordered ground turkey and got pork. The shoppers don't seem to care if the items are correct and many times items were just left out, not subbed but just ignored. I honestly felt that the shoppers did not care at all about getting the items I prepaid for rather just cared about getting the items they felt like getting. There seems to be a pervasive attitude of "the customer will take what I want to give them," read more

Been coming here 2-3x/week since moving to town 3 years ago. No longer coming back since they removed self-checkout. It's as though they are going back in time. Went from 4 self-checkouts which made getting in and out so easy to replacing with 2 express lanes of which I've only seen one ever staffed and it's just a hassle now as each of my 3 visits since the clerk either seems lost or wants to carry on a conversation with every customer. read more

One of the only stores in The area that you can actually do wine tasting this Saturday from 12 noon to 3 PM Toasted Head Wines stop by

Clean, well stocked with organic produce and organic packaged items, friendly staff. A busy location that I seldom wait in line at.

Weekend morning waiting in the checkout line, timed it, over 6 minutes before I got to checkout. One checker, Many employees waking around, eventually after prompting, additional checkers were requested. Yea, bad timing with everyone checking out at the same time, but cmon. read more

I remember when this store opened it was wonderful--people weren't cranky and moody and just kept getting better and better. But now days even the managers suck at their job and throw an attitude when asked a question because they can't multitask during their busy hours. A lot of their cashiers have some sort of attitude problems that I don't see at other grocery stores. I was waiting in the self-checkout because my daughter was sitting on the bagging section (it fools the register thinking I put something there without scanning it first) and the machine tells me I need assistance. I was the only one standing there and the night manager and the cashier overseeing the self-checkout just talked on without paying attention to the problem when they were standing right in FRONT of me. Prices keep getting higher and higher. The economy influences this but this Vons is always pricier than the other grocery stores I've been to for the same exact items. Upside to this place is they have a large produce selection compared to the other Vons on Telegraph or Seaward. Do I buy produce from there? Only on a time pinch. I realized buying produce from the farmer's market downtown is not only cost effective but more fresh and delicious. read more

I'll start with saying that I like the store. I ordered some party trays from the service deli one day ahead, and called day of to see if it was ready, I was put on hold four times before being hung up on. Called back, got through to the deli and asked the lady if my order would be ready for pick up at 11:30. Without asking my name, order number, anything, she barked that my order was ready and hung up. read more

Stopped in here a few times on the way to a friend's backyard BBQ. Staff are friendly and helpful. Found everything I needed, and was quickly under way.

Many a pissed off people. All self check out gone. And checkers are slower then crap. There is no threes a crowd in this store. The checkers are only good for talking crap about vons read more

Courtney, bow tie wearin sammich goddess at the deli counter.

Are you for real? $1.50 for canned food? $2.50 for syrup? $4.00 for sweetened condensed milk? Who can pay those prices for food that is not worth that type of money. Then, after spending $100 on $30 worth of groceries, they don't even pack the food properly. If I am paying $5 for a tiny ass container of blueberries, and least do me the favor of putting them in a bag with like foods! I just waisted five dollars on squished blueberries which could have been prevented if the weren't packed under cans... The even worse thing is... Is the food was organized as I came through, so how it ended up under shit I don't understand. I am never waiting my money there again. Straight up rip off. They probably jacked up the prices so they could pay for their stupid monopoly game... read more

This isn't about our local stores. They are excellent! I am writing to let delivery customers know that Von's is eliminating their eCommerce delivery service and are contracting with DoorDash for grocery delivery. They are going to try to place their drivers, but if there are no openings the drivers will be laid off. Sad, especially during COVID. I have an email from corporate that says this change will take place 2/27/21. That's not true. A DoorDash driver attempted to deliver my groceries on 1/6/21. I refused the delivery. He came from 30 minutes away, would not/could not tell me how long he'd been driving around with my groceries...in his van...no refrigeration. Argh! And DoorDash has the worst reputation for delivery! I didn't check any boxes or otherwise agree to have my groceries delivered by an unregulated, anonymous, unaccountable driver in an unrefrigerated, unsanitary vehicle. During the worst health crisis of our lifetime. It's not like this guy was bringing me a shirt or new pair of shoes. It's my FOOD. I am still waiting for Von's to refund my money. I'm older and cancer survivor that has used their delivery for over 6 years. It was the best! Oh well. Am very thankful I can still go out for groceries. Just wanted to make you aware of this change because Von's is not making a public announcement or being transparent in any way. read more

Very good and clean Von's store. The size is also pretty large so the aisles do not feel too cramped. I did not see any self checkout lanes here which is a bit of a disappointment but the employees are grin fly and helpful. read more

I really like this store BUT your checkers are rude. Don't take an inventory in a loud voice on what I am purchasing to bring attention to the other customers! Yes, I am talking about you Ashley... If you need a conversation starter... hello, how are you works... She did it to the lady behind me as well... she isn't the only one... please do something about this.. This is the reason I miss the self check out... time to drop a line to corporate. read more

All the Vons stores I've been to have long, sucky checkouts & this one is no exception. They rearranged their checkout lines so they're extra awkward with the three slow-moving express lanes, to make sure you know you're in a Vons! Less grimy & full of tweakers than the Avenue location, but still a downer to visit. I'll gladly pay a little more for my groceries at Ralph's because they keep their checkout lines short. AND for the 10th time tonight during checkout an item won't scan & the cashier asks me if I knew how much it was. WHY IS THIS SUCH A FREQUENT PROBLEM? I told her to forget about it because I was on the verge of yelling at that point and just wanted to get the F out of there. read more
