Vons

Okay so i popped in here after dinner to get some toothpaste and wow — where am I? This can’t be Vons. One word — posh. Oh yeah, I’m in La Costa.
Really nice fresh produce section and flower area — Starbucks venue — lighting in store was soothing if that makes sense — not super bright.
Clean and organized displays — all staff in bright green Von’s shirts.
There is something special about this store — doesnt look or feel like the others.

I have been to this store 5 times. Out of those 5 times, I have been overcharged on 3 different visits for regular items I normally purchase. The last time, in February, I picked up a package of Hot Dogs, and checked very carefully that they were the ones on Sale for $ 2.99. When I get home, I check my receipt, and I was charged the regular price, $ 6.99. When I called to complain, the lady said, just drive in and we will refund the difference, right, like I am gonna drive 20 miles round trip, and waste a gallon of gas. I shop one time a week to save gas!

Good store, workers r nice and cool. very rude jerk mini pawn piece supervisor Ryan! And female worker defending him!
There was an monopoly event at vons where the products have monopoly tags, you buy them and get the tickets and match the spot with the four specific matching tags u peel off. I had bought a lot of candy bars with the game tags. Then I returned them unopened for a refund. Ryan the jerk mini piece boss called me a scam artist. He knew that I’m a paying costumer for these tickets. He is so hardass strict and rude.
He also snapped at me a while back. Co workers were running outside, I didn’t know if there is a police crime or not, I asked one of the workers what’s going on. Ryan yelled at me and told me «It’s none of your business!». I told him nicely not to yell at me. He’s very unapologetic, he talked back, such an asshole!
The store itself is good, friendly checkout clerks I get along well with. I am a social butterfly and a regular at vons. Ryan is really irritating and rude, he does not like me. He is too questionable to talk to, I can’t think of interacting with him! The store management needs to talk and discipline this rude Ryan mini boss person.
Also, there is a female checkout worker, I didn’t see her name. She wears glasses, straight dark hair. She told me the Unilocal review is not cool! She asked me to take it down! I ignored her because it was really none of her business! I felt gained up on by her. I don’t care if she gets along with anyone even that jerk boss Ryan, good for her! she should’ve not defended him! I have a right to express myself in words especially with the supervisor who is unprofessional and had an attitude problem! I go, get my food as a paying costumer like everyone else! Now I dont wanna talk to her nor look at her!

Every since the old Vons on La Costa Ave and El Camino went away, but since this place has opened, I’m so much more happy.
Their location is bigger in space and beautiful. They’ve updated all the new graphics and the staff is so much more friendlier. There is a Starbucks inside and a nice little sushi corner for a quick lunch.
They’ve got a lot of great stuff for the healthy juicer in the world and they’ve got the classics such as the delicious fried chicken in their deli corner. Thank you for coming back to La Costa!

omg can you believe they let dogs into a grocery store!!! ok… im cool with service dogs, but this was not the case. as we were walking there was a wet spot next to the freezer case? hum… the dogs and its owner came out from that isle. ?? i mentioned it to the employee and she said there is nothing they can do about it.
i don’t know maybe a call to public healrh dept or post a sign: service dogs only!!!

If I could, I’d give them zero stars. They are rude and pretentious; the employees act like they’re doing you a favor by giving one word answers (when they don’t ignore
you). The bagger did nothing other then send me down the wrong isle. He just stood there while I bagged my own groceries, not helping or even giving me any room. They suck.

SO happy this Vons is here, with the nicest in-​store Starbucks employees — really! Although the there are a few «new store» bugs still being worked out (please — can you fix the milk dispensers so the cartons don’t get hung up?), this Vons is clean, organized, well stocked and getting appropriately busier as people start to venture here more. The Starbucks staff — So nice, So friendly, and always working hard… I almost hate to give up my awesome Starbucks secret… Am finding the store shelves have unique items available, as well as the usual basics — check out the bottled soda section and the local beer selections. Will continue to shop here, even when the Gelsons goes in, down La Costa Ave.

So I have been coming to this Vons for about 3 months now. I really like how clean and nice the store always look. Its easy to find things. The people you encounter here are wonderful. I love the deli, always fast and service with a smile. Never a wait, nice helpful employees. I noticed the employees have gone above and beyond to help locate an item when in need. Always makes me want to return. Also I love the starbucks in this location. My coffee is always hot and made correctly. Thank you and if I could give more stars I would. Keep it up my new store for sure!

I was Bamboozled!!!
Ok so I just got off a flight from New York, its about 3am and I go strolling into my «Friendly» Neighborhood Vons craving something sweet and Bagels/​Bacon for the next day, my PLAN was to get something sweet go home, eat it, shower, Sleep!
I get several Items including Bacon that was labeled «Thick Sliced» but when I cooked it the following day it was so thin I could see thru it! but thats another story, this story is about FALSE ADVERTISING!
I walk into the bakery section. I see Julian Pies stacked on the table, I think to myself, «Im taking this Apple Pie home, heating it up in the microwave then Im going to put Vanilla Ice cream on it and DOMINATE this sweet little Biyach!» so I notice that they are priced at $ 7.99 (See Photo for proof) I thought to myself, Hmmm good price!
I get up to the register, the guy ringing me up was named Tom, he then scans the Julian Pie and it rings up to $ 15.00!
Now… 5 years ago (Before this new Vons was here in the Neighborhood) When I paid over 1Million dollars for my house across the street from this Vons NEVER… EVER. EVAAA!!! did I ever plan to come to this Vons and Pay 15 Dam Dollaz for an Apple Pie unless it was made for me by the one and only Beyonce Knowles, but thats another story! …anywhoo, Back to being Bamboozled!
The price under these Pies CLEARLY said $ 7.99 the Prices of Pies displayed over these Julian Pies were priced at $ 2.99 and $ 3.99 NOTHING on this rack had a Bright Yellow (or any other color for that matter) Sticker with a price of $ 15.00 Dam DOLLAZ… So I tell Tommy Boy about the $ 7.99 and what does Tom Tom have the nerve to tell me? «Oh Somebody must of made a mistake, I can’t mark it down to $ 7.99» Now First off… I only pointed out the Price that was advertised Never did I ask him to mark it down. BUT from a customer service and FALSE ADVERTISEMENT standpoint he SHOULD HAVE offered to mark it down! if it was one or two pies that happened to be in the wrong section MAYBE just MAYBE I would consider that they might be in the wrong spot but 9 DAM APPLE PIES OVER A APPLE PIE $ 7.99 SIGN… Tommy Tom Tom YOU TRIPPIN! So did I pay $ 15.00 for the Pie? HELLLLL NAW! but I tell you this Much SOMEBODY owes me a Julian dam apple pie either for free or for $ 7Dam99. I don’t care if its Tom, Toms baby Momma, Toms Aunty, Toms Store Manager, Toms Store Managers Baby Momma, Toms store managers baby Mommas Aunty Bertha from Alabama… SOmebody Owes me a Julian Apple Pie! and when I get it, I will update this review! now I gotta sit here with this Thin ass Bacon and go to sleep without any Apple Dam Pie in my Stomach!

This version of Safeway is legit! Where to start? If I want a quick lunch, I can grab some tortilla soup that is easily modified with some of the fresh produce available. If I am feeling a little lazy, I stop by and get some freshly made sushi! The chef’s choice (spicy tuna, jalapeño, sriracha) is the best. Do not even get me started on the fact that this store is 24! Being in the food-​service industry I can work late hours so it is nice to have a store that I can go to anytime. Jeff is also a very friendly manager, he is always down to talk some sports when I stop by. STOP LOOKING AT THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS and see for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

Wow Vons!!! Please promote Ben. His customer service is exceptional. He belongs at the Four Seasons!

I was in here the other night renting a Redbox movie and noticed across from the kiosk is a whole section of Stone Brewery items for sale (glasses, t-​shirts, growlers, etc.). I will definitely keep this in mind when I’m in need of Stone items for gifts!

This is a brand new Vons located in La Costa Town Center mall. It’s really bright, clean, and well organized.
They do have a pretty decent organic produce section which I like.
All the employees were helpful and friendly. I’ll be back!

I had a great experience at this Vons. My wife and I stopped by to pick up some almond champagne. We were helped by Store manager Jeff who unfortunately told us that they were out of stock on the shelf and he would look in the back. He returned to us empty handed and mentioned they were out completely and offered to call another store for availability.
We said no thanks and started to head home. When we got to our car, we noticed Jeff behind us with a bottle of Almond Champagne. He mentioned he took one last look on the shelf and saw a hidden bottle. He apologized for not having the product fully stocked and offered us the bottle free of charge! WOW!
My wife and I were surprised and this was an unexpected treat. Jeff really went out if his way to keep the customer happy.
Not only was the store clean, friendly, and fast. Their desire to ensure the customer has a great in-​store experience was awesome! Nice job Vons and I appreciate you Jeff.

Back in November, when this Vons had recently opened, my husband and I went in there and I had a an advertisement for Turkey. You had to spend $ 25 or $ 50 to get the turkey for the advertised price, but I didn’t read that. The scanner wasn’t allowing me to buy the turkey for the price I wanted.
I complained, and the manager came over and explained the situation to me. I was disappointed, and he decided to let me have the turkey for the price I came in for.
Also, even though the store is new, they don’t have an outrageous surcharge on everything. In short, they have good prices, nice staff, and a beautiful store.
Because of this, I shop at this Vons when I have a choice.

Newest, Nicest, Vonsiest Vons around.
Self-​checkout is here. It is a must if you’re like everybody else and overbooked, over-​stressed, and {almost} overboard. I can’t believe there are still stores without self-​checkout (like the Vons off El Norte Parkway). On a side note: why do dollar store registers have keyboards? Shouldn’t there just be one big red «one-​dollar» key?
Being a new store, they don’t have a fast enough inventory turn, so check the dates. I saw milk that was a week past the «sell-​before» date. And the fresh juice published a «use-​by» date of yesterday. Oddly, the quinoa had a «won’t be trendy after» date of 2016.
Plenty of fine eating establishments around: Luna Grill, Bushfire Kitchen, The Habit, etc. So grab some dinner and stop here on your way back home.

For a Vons, this is very slow store.
In fact it’s so slow that I can’t trust the meat and seafood. Nobody is buying the stuff. I worry that it may sicken,
I tried speaking with Jeff, the manager, but he was somewhat rude to me (a customer) and very nasty towards an employee/​vendor.
The shopping center is beautiful, but this might have been the wrong grocer when it comes to understanding the community.

I love the new Vons that opened up really close to me. The selection is wonderful and the prices are competitive for the most part.
The only thing that I do not like about this store is that the home care section where the lotion and vitamins are is all back lit with really bright led lights. I can not even enter this section without worrying about getting a migraine. I tried to look at labels but I started feeling sick right away. I did not really want to throw up in the store so now I carefully avoid going anywhere near that section. I mentioned this to several employees but no one seemed to care or understand. I know I am not the only person that is sensitive to bright lights like that. Now as I avoid that section I just remind myself that those items are cheaper elsewhere anyway.
The lady in the deli was very nice and helped me figure out which lunch meats are dairy free so I know which are safe for my household which is a lot more then I can say about the deli service at the Sprouts in Encinitas.
If you tone down the lighting then I will change this review to a 5 star rating. It also looks like there are several leaks in your ceiling near the fire extinguisher nozzles.

Brand new store and love it so far! AMAZING sushi selection! The best in the area.
The Starbucks looks great — larger (for a supermarket) sitting area.
Prices seem higher than the Vons in San Marcos.
WARNING: the internet service in this store is horrible (event on 3G or LTE). Access your Just4U app before you get in the store. I typically add the products in the app while I’m shopping. However, I couldn’t access the APP due to the lack of internet; therefore, missed out of a lot of savings. I just wish stores would have overall low prices and didn’t do the whole coupon/​loyalty program crap.

This was one of the first stores to open in the new mall off of La Costa Ave. and Rancho Santa Fe Rd. A good sized store with all the amenities of the modern grocery store including a pharmacy, florist, bakery, deli, Starbucks and other departments. I’ve only been inside once at night and the lighting was bright. A typical selection of items as far as grocery stores go. Friendly service at check out.
