We stopped in this evening. When we walked in the store, about 15 carts were lined up it wedged in between the wall and first check stand so that customers could not get one. I saw an empty cart at the end of a checkstand, so I said to my wife "Just get that empty one." She walked over to get it, then she walked outside and it took about a minute before she returned with a cart. I asked her what happened and she said the manager told her that cart was "for employee use" and she needed to get a cart from outside. Now "outside" didnt mean from a line out front, but meant she had to walk out into the parking lot and retrieve one! HELLO Vons manager...its not your customers job to retrieve carts from the parking lot...it is YOUR JOB. Good thing it wasnt me he told to go outside because I would have been happy to tell you where you could shove your "employees cart." Apparently "customer service" is an ancient dead language to Vons. Whatever...I sure wont return. There are way to many good groceries in the area.

WE used to love shopping here.....ever since the so called "upgrade" a few months back....everything seems to have gone downhill. Shelves not stocked....running out of key items like butter and eggs...and some types of milk. One night my husband waited half an hour to buy some fried chicken, because he was told the staff that manned the "deli" were "at lunch"...half an hour later , he was then told that they had actually gone home. Leaving the hot chicken and wegies still displayed and all the cold salads too?.....I feel sorry for anyone who went in to buy any of those items the next day. Another time I went to buy firewood ...and it was all sitting out in the rain......since the stand was on wheels, I suggested that someone wheel it under cover. Make sense? Not to the staff in La Jolla Maybe theres a new manager.....Im not sure...I just hope it improves.....In the meantime we are shopping elsewhere....often at Vons stores further away , which is a nuisance

I am visiting La Jolla from Austin and am not surprised to see that the Vons here is the mirror image of our formally loved Randalls. Its a cookie cutter version, with the same sorry bakery, produce, end caps, etc. as every Safeway operation in the country. With a well-deserved reputation for poor quality and worse customer service this location does not disappoint. Just now at 9:00 pm no one answered the phone as I was attempting to order a floral bouquet for later tomorrow. No extension answered and while the prompt asked me to wait for CS, it offered my an infinite loop of no answer. I called 3 times. In desperation I pressed the number for the deli and asked him to transfer me to a customer service rep. No dice. Not his job, and he doesnt know how to transfer. He hung up on me.

sehr gut sortierter Vons-Supermarkt. Die Obst- Gemüseabteilung ist top, und die frischen Bagel zum Frühstück schmecken auch sehr gut. Auch an alle Urlauber aus Europa den Tipp: lasst euch unbedingt die Club-Card an der Kasse geben, sonst sind die Preise zu hoch.

Now that Vons is the only market in LJ Village, shopping there has become untenable. Parking a nightmare much of the day. Went in today and the line at the quick checkout was 10+ deep, and only one of each of the two registers open. I talked to the manager about the lack of help and he said he comes in each morning and wonders the same thing!! He obviously knows hes understaffed but cant do anything about it. When Jonathans was competition, Vons was much better. Now they have La Jollans by the .........! Too bad

When staying in a hotel for business in La Jolla, Vons is a great alternative to generic hotel food or calorific, expensive restaurants. Also instead of packing lots of supplies from home for a Transatlantic flight its good to know you can pick up quality healthy food and brands you know when you get to LJ. Even if you are staying for only a short while its worth picking up a Vons loyalty card, as I saved $10 on one trip and youre not committed to saving points which you will never use again

A bit smaller than other Vons, but still has everything you might need, including a florist, bakery, and pharmacy. Lots of fresh produce. Good beer, wine, and liquor selection. Parking is a bit of a mess, the lot is large but cramped. Not always great for quick trips--they replaced their self-checkout kiosks with four "express" lanes but usually only staff 1-2, so when its busy be prepared to wait.

The store is kept clean and service is pretty good. I asked for additional information on meats and a well informed individual was called and was giving me the info I needed within 30 seconds. Decent choice of vegetables and fruits and kept fresh and nicely arranged. Love the wide selection of breads as well but they can do much better on cheeses and cold cuts.

Fine store, but goodness, they need more parking. Went to grab a few things at about 3:30 pm and literally every spot was full. People were doing the classic circle around every lane until you see reverse lights. Some people parked off site and walked in. Make sure you dont go at a busy time

This is a terrific Vons - clean, friendly, good selection of food Great produce section Great butcher section for both meat and fresh fish Excellent pharmacy - so good that UCSD med center has contracted them I have no affiliation with the store. Just think they do a very good job.

Nhésitez pas à demander la carte fidélité qui vous fait profiter des meilleurs prix. Elle est gratuite et plutôt avantageuse

Best frozen foods department, at least until this Summer :-( Love the selection of other departments, but just because I shop in La Jolla doesnt mean I can afford a $50 jar of honey!! Nice that its 24 hours, too, even if the website still hasnt updated that.

Overpriced, but thats to be expected in La Jolla. Three of the lady cashiers/checkers are the nicest and fastest ever. Oh, and they moved the bread isle recently but didnt label the isle. Its nowhere near the bakery anymore, in case youre looking...

Its a pretty standard grocery store. Easy enough to find things because they lay out the store in a logical manner. It was fairly busy when we went, but they got through the lines quickly and efficiently.

I havent had good experiences at this location. Ive had bad produce and moldy flowers. Customer service isnt always great either. I have shopped here at times because it is close to home.

Decent grocery store complete with Deli, Bakery, wine tasting, Pharmacy and first-aid related items, Dry Cleaning and Wells Fargo Bank. Pretty much a one-stop-shop for home perishables.

Vons/Safeway its great. Friendly staff, products you can trust, and a good deli. If you need a quick dinner for your family, try the delicious meatloaf with some potato salad.

One of my favorite grocery stores. They have a nice produce section, really good wine and beer selection and some of their deli products are really nice (like their guacamole).

This is a big Vons with a lot of food choices and friendly staff. It does get crowded. There can be long lines at checkout and a lack of parking spaces.
