Short list makes for a quick stop at Winco. It's a little further drive but well worth it to save money. We visited all the departments but only needed a couple items from each. Produce was outstanding as usual. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store was very busy and looked super[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], Winco staff were all working with smiles helping the first of the month busy crowds. Checkouts were opening as customers lined up Steven our checker was friendly and professional, he didn't take long to get us out the door back to the Bakersfield heat. Thanks again Winco read more

BEWARE! This is for their "fresh made" pizza. Our family loved, LOVED Leonardis Pizza from WinCo. Good tasting and a great value. Recently they changed their pizza and it is just not edible anymore. The last two times ordering it has been very underwhelming. Skimpy toppings and last night half of my family got sick. I don't know if it's a new sauce or dairy (cheese) in the pizza but it's definitely a no go for our family in the future. (Our order included cheese, pepperoni and combo). I wish they would go back to the original pizzas but in trying to save costs they changed their pizza and it's just no bueno. read more

Both locations are great and different in their own way. Associates at both are beyond friendly and competent. This one has a food court inside and always smells delicious. Always stocked and ready to go, I go to the other one because its closer but this one is nice too. read more

I real enjoy this store. The staff is always so friendly & helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is always clean and well stocked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The choices are numerous and varied. I enjoy the meat department, You can find some interesting items there. If you want something don't wait. It may not be there next time you go in. Recently I found chicken feet which make a nourishing and delicious collagen broth. I also purchased beef marrow bones, such a delicacy! They were reasonably priced, especially because you pay very high prices in a restaurant for them. They have a beautiful, fresh & well stocked produce section. I recently purchased some of their fresh coffee beans, tasty & fresh. I love that they have flavored beans. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is huge and you can find almost anything you need.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great prices, clean store, and fresh produce.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee grinding section was out for quite a while, but they have some already bagged up. Worth the drive from the eastside. read more

Well, here I go again! After reading the stunning, glowing review for "The Winning Company" it took my breath away. Literally, because our experience the day after Christmas could not have been further from that "glowing" review (which almost seemed in and of itself "too good to be true"). I just almost felt like whomever wrote it must have worked (or is working) for them...? Well on December 26, 2024, we went to WinCo. I just used to love shopping there. Friendly employees, honest, respectful, helpful...alas...THAT was "too good to be true" on this visit. We purchased what was needed, and I counted our items in the cart before stepping in to the "self-serve" line to check out. Before we began, the stationary employee sitting on her 'perch/stool' marched over in front of our cart with a very disgruntled facial expression as she began to count items in our cart. I thought, hmm, maybe she just was annoyed having to get up from her 'perch?' As my husband was cashiering, all of a sudden a young bullnosed-pierced female employee appearing to receive direction from 'perch lady' pushed herself right in front of my husband whilst cashiering, forcing him to step aside. Mind you all the while I was standing behind the cart, observing this. Curiosity arose within me and I asked my husband what that was all about and he said he didn't know because the bullnosed-pierced female employee did not say a word. She just shoved herself in front of him - without permission!!!! OMG! Can you even believe that sh*t??? Such respect, courtesy and kindness. WOW. Finally, he asked 'perch lady' and bullnosed-pierced female employee what that was done for, and "BNFE" explained. WinCo's claim to fame is an "employee owned" store. Well, the ONLY thing they seem to own (on more than one occasion) is their BAD ATTITUDES. Yes, indeed, that they do own...along with being a so-called "low price leader?" They treat customers, on occasion, worse than a dog...(see pic)! read more

Nice place with lots of great choices in groceries, pet food , kitchenware, toiletries, fresh made pastries & a nice meat counter, all for good prices.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]there meats are priced well, & the place is kept clean i.e. their bathrooms.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They sell in bulk at the Panama Street & a few items in bulk at the Coffee St stores. The cashier's are usually pretty nice, courteous & made sure you're packed up before they crowd you with another person. I'm handicapped & always find a get-a-round shopping scooter plus if you need help packing your groceries there's usually someone to help. Good place for us seniors on a budget to shop . Happy Thanksgiving & Merry Christmas read more

This store has the worst shopping carts. It's like playing Russian roulette to see if you get a bad one, or a worse one.

We shop WinCo almost weekly. The employees are helpful and friendly. Most items we buy are less expensive than WalMart by 50 cent to occasionally a couple dollars. We love the bulk items, such as flours, dried fruits, nuts, candy, seeds, etc., etc. The deli people are very accommodating. They do not take credit cards but do take debit cards and cash. We feel it's a very good place to shop! read more

Everything was great. Had all the items on my list. Shelves were fully stocked and the workers were very helpful.

I recently learned about Winco and I love it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]First off the store is always clean and well lit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The produce is fresh, the shelves are well stocked and there is an abundance of fresh meat, poultry and salmon. There is even bulk dry goods, bulk pet food and a deli counter. I've shopped the major stores Vons, Ralph's, Albertsons, Jons, but Winco far surpasses with great choices, friendly staff and quick check out..did I forget to mention a very large parking lot. I am overall very pleased with Winco. I think if they had more stores throughout California, they would take business from the larger known stores. GREAT JOB WINCO! read more

WinCo has always been my go-to for affordable, quality products. I particularly enjoy their bulk section that has TONS of products from coffee, to grains, cereals, spices, teas, flours, candy, pet food, and lots more! The stores are nicely standardized meaning they are pretty similar to each other and CLEAN. Staff is friendly and helpful and can easily be located if you need something. Prices are very reasonable and WinCo implemented shorter wait lines during busy times, they would earn 5 stars! read more

I have always enjoyed shopping at WINCO for several yars now. However recently I have found the employees who work at the Coffee Rd Bakersfield location to be rude, unprofessional and unhelpful. Example, recent was in the meat department. The male stocker ( all tatooed up) just stood there and would not move as I tried to get a item. I was polite, said excuse me 2-3 times and he just stood there blocking my way. Finally, I just reach over this person and got my item. Today I went there and used the self checkout. The older lady working self checkout was rude and unhelpful when I politely her to scan the cases of water I had in my basket. The quality of employees and customers service is horrible. Will not be shopping there anymore. So much for employee owned store. They just don't get it. read more

The workers are not the same won't be coming back to this location. They need better training in customer service.

I love this store. It's easy to pop in and grab a few things as it is to do the weekly shopping. The lay out makes sense. The employees are always patient. read more

I love Winco's prices and selection, so my family always shops here. We've never had any issues, etc. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everyone has always happy and helpful and it's always clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My only complaint would be today's trip. I understand they ask how many bags, etc; I told the older woman helping us 10 total. She argued with me that I needed 15. I kept saying, no, I only wanted 10. Especially since I'm paying for it, I am going to choose how many I use. Well, she wasn't happy with that answer. So she proceeded to ask my husband: "10? Are you sure?" And he said: "Yeah.. 10." Still unhappy with that response, while helping the next customers in line, she stared me down the entire time packing the bags up to make sure I used only 10 like her life depended on it. And guess how many I left with ... TEN. Again, I get it. But, in my opinion, it was very rude and uncalled for. I'm not sure if they get fired over bags now or what. But. That's how today's trip went. I'd love to keep coming back, but not if that's the customer service received. read more

This store is right around the corner and cheaper than Vons next door by a lot but I always go to Vons because who wants to stand in a 30 minute line of people. You can even go to this store at midnight and stand in line for 30 minutes ! I'd rather drive across town ! Everything else seems ok but stop being greedy and get some registered open and stop being so disrespectful letting people who worked all day get some food and go home read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Always clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Always well stocked.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Mostly friendly service. Hot Deli (in back) is great! Hot pizza takeout (in front) is great! read more

this is are go to store good prices well stocked and friendly customer service...pizza is delicious too! read more

Love that they have some affordable food here. Just that they don't accept credit cards here. And twice already two different black employees of theirs running the self checkout lanes told me to buzz off and go use the cashier lanes even though I have less than 15 items. And right after that they welcome other customers no problem‍ Count your days WinCo. read more

I just had two items but I was forced to be in the only open line. i put my stuff down and left. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The reason I go to stores this early to begin with is to avoid the crowds.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ya'll suck. read more

A man who works their named "Thomas G" was probably the most rudest person I've ever encountered. A man who works their name, Thomas G I went in there with my support animal, and he looked at me like I ruined his day and said you can't bring your dog in here! I continued to ask him different questions on rules and certain stipulations because my dog is a registered animal for my disability. And he kept on sighing and acting like his day was ruined. I called the manager after I struggled to get my dog out of the store because I had groceries in my cart. Also, the manager didn't give me his name. It's unfortunate because I really do like going to that store and their prices are very affordable. I've brought my dog in there multiple times and also I have her information on her being registered for my disability in my wallet. read more

I had a horrible experience with Lucy! My husband and I went in to grab stuff for dinner and we had purchased a case of Corona's, mind you we always shop here, and she has the nerve to look at my husbands ID suspiciously as if we were committing fraud as if that ID photo wasn't him. She handed it back with a smug look on her face and said "I guess if you're going to say that's you". That's very rude and offensive she made it seem as we are in the wrong, WHO wouldn't take offense to that? And when confronted she told us she does that to everybody. Well that's a horrible experience for everyone she must do that to. Lucy needs to be reevaluated and has many areas of opportunity to work on especially her attitude! Every time we come here she seems like she doesn't like her job at all. Very nasty attitude to have at a customer service job. read more

Great selection, employee owned. Clean and price is right. Salmon fresh We will come back read more

You have lost my business forever... went in with my wife and her service dog and we were told that the dog could not be in the cart. Stupidest rule ever, that dog is cleaner than most kids that ride in carts. I will not be back there and will advise my friends who shop there to stop going there as well. read more

I really just come here when I need an eclectic mix of strange things - Beach ball... check, dog collar... check, toilet paper... check, copious amounts of alcohol... check. But mostly what I have found is that the staff is mostly just moderately helpful and nice. And what I like most is the pizza, and the staff at the pizza spot are super helpful! The pizza is fresh, a great value and actually tastes good. read more

For a long time this WinCo was my "go to" grocery store to shop at, until they built the other WinCo closer to home. WinCo in general is one of my favorite grocery stores for the simple fact that the prices are usually lower than other places. Yes, you can find other deals elsewhere, but for the most part you will usually find a great deal at WinCo. This WinCo is so far out on the north side of Bakersfield; however, for the past years, more and more businesses/homes have been built nearby so the accessibility for people is getting easier. They have really nice produce here and meats are really cheap, I rather shop at WinCo for my meats because you find better deals here versus other places. Parking is pretty big, so there's never problems parking. Lines can get pretty crazy, but they now have self-check out so that's always a plus for people that are in a rush and only have a few items. This particular WinCo has it's ups and downs. Some days carts are thrown everywhere in the parking lot, but for the most part is usually taken care of, the store stays pretty clean, but the restrooms are really disgusting. Sorry WinCo. I rarely ever use public restrooms, but once I went in to use the toilet one day and I didn't end up using it. Every stall looked disastrous, I probably will never use the restrooms here again, but the store in general is great and is my number 1 grocery place. read more

Great costumer service the produce is not up to par it is not as fresh as it should be but the rest of the items are satisfactory and good, the meat however is a lil on the expensive side and I don't shop for my meat there but I do get everything else there. read more

Why can't you guys update your system because only be able to pay with debit or cash is ridiculous. I can't even pay for a slice of pizza because I can't use my credit card nor can I use my tap. I don't like to run around with my debit card on me and I don't always have cash so this is bulshit update you're system read more

LOYAL CUSTOMER, Loss prevention tried very hard to intimidate, lost his cool after following me to the check out had a staring problem, was called out of his name and proceeded to attempt to solicit a trespass. He apparently gets triggered if you call him a Boy. "Look here Boy" maybe it's time to find a more stable individual read more

Friendly and clean good prices. Love you WinCo And I love that your open 24 hours. Cashier Jackie is great read more

Good prices and better tasting pizza over Costco. Only negative, is that they don't accept credit, they only accept debit cards

Piece of shit store wasted 2 hours shopping just to find out they don't take credit cards. Would be nice to see a sign before you walk in so people don't go wasting their time. read more

Does become very crowded with long waits for a cashier. Only accepts cash and debit cards but now Im thinking about it I don't remember if they accept cash. I know they do not accept credit cards. Their savings are not that great considering there are no baggers or assistance at the front from people trying to bag their own groceries. I have rarely found their fruits/vegetables fresh. Since their remodel there selection has increased alot. Their store brand is beyond awful in soup/canned goods and what they replaced with something worse is the potato chips. I go there because its close, open 24/7 and has ample parking with lots of cart returns. read more

This is a grocery store, so obviously it has all your standard things. Here's what I love about WinCo: 1) open 24 hours 2) prices are pretty low on most items 3) employees here are pretty friendly 4) I can almost always find a good parking spot 5) Bulk bins!!!! 6) lots of selection At winco, just remember you bag your own groceries and the liquor is sold at the front of the store near customer service rather than in the store areas like beer and wine. The deli and bakery closes down every night so if you have special requests, you have to show up during normal hours. They have a pizza shop inside that I've never tried, but the prices are so good I'm always tempted! Overall I can usually get everything I need from winco, but they don't take credit cards so that kind of sucks when I want the cash back rewards. They do take most debit and always take cash. read more

I went to Winco this morning at 7am. Purchase 16 items. There was one check stand open and a line a mile long so i headed to self check out. I hate self check out but i only had a few things. I got to the entrance of the self check out and the employee sitting on her perch 10 yards away said i couldn't use self check out Because i had too many items. I'm sorry, how can she actually count from 10 yards away sitting on her perch and if theft is so bad in the self check out then why isn't she walking around monitoring people? Oh wow! I have 1 item too many so i can't use self check out! Customer service is so bad here and employees are so LAZY!!! Maybe the theft wouldn't be so bad if you did your jobs well! read more

So far this store much cheaper than any and pet friendly. It's like a mini warehouse as they got a little bit of everything . They have pizza too like Costco read more

This place has amazing prices. The produce is sometimes iffy. You need to use it fast or it may spoil on you. Meat has been really good haven't had any bad experience there. Deli is pretty extensive and actually they carry almost anything and everything I've needed at the grocery store at really good prices. Warning you have to bag your own groceries and watch when you shop. Do not go around the first of the month. If so go early in the morning or late late at night otherwise you will want to shoot yourself before you get out of the store. Oh my gosh the crowd will be impossible and miserable. Just a little FYI. I've experienced some of the rudest shoppers ever so I'm an early bird and it's an awesome place to shop!! read more

They don't take credit card, that ridiculous. Besides, strawberry, and other fruits are not fresh if compared with Walmart.
