We came to get some groceries, visiting from out of town. Miss Tandi helped me get the Vons club discount and she was just a genuinely pleasant, helpful, warm, friendly person!! Thank you Tandi!

I'm new to the Area, but I frequently come to this Vons after work. I'm usually exhausted and not in the mood to converse.
It's nothing special, but on a particular day, one of the "teenage baggers" (I'm not even sure if he's a teenager, I'm just going off the negative review left by another customer who seems to think that she's an author) made my day by striking up a friendly conversation. I think he had excellent customer service and he should be applauded by the management of this store. I come to this store nearly everyday, and on this particular day, he made my day. Thanks Parker.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - 14078Feb 17, 2024Updated review
Vons Sushi bar is so good.
As you enter the store a friendly gentleman is preparing freshly made sushi. The variety is great. I am super impressed with how good these rolls are.
The prices are amazing as well
The quality is top tier. I must add it is comparable to many of the restaurants in the area. Quick easy and delicious great for on the go.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1Jan 16, 2024Previous reviewBakery
I have to get the word out. The bakery at Vons has the best donuts!!! They are fluffy,moist ,delicious and only 99cents each. Also the Tarte pies are amazing!! Family favorite for sure. It's topped with fresh blueberries, strawberries, kiwi and has a custard filling. The crust on the Tarte is to die for!! Thank you Vons bakery. - Kelly P.Grover Beach, CA407161Feb 16, 2024
From my childhood to now, this store has been my go-to for consistency, friendly and familiar faces, cheap prices and my membership at Vons.
During a recent shopping trip, the service deli closed early due to overall store construction, but there was no signs up saying they'd be doing so, thus depleting the hot bar selection.
Post-shopping, a checkout lane with a seemingly closed sign offered assistance amid a bustling store. I was excited that the girl behind the register was able to take me, since there was only one other lane open and the rest was self-checkout.
However, the checkout experience changed when the teenage boy in a beanie, bagging my groceries made sarcastic remarks when I requested my hot and cold items to be separated. The cashier and bagger seemed to be more excited to talk to each other and flirt with one another than engage in any conversation with me, the customer being ignored.
Exiting the store, a grocery cart from the Girl Scout's troop that was closing up collided with my car as I was trying to leave the parking lot. I understand. This is not Vons's fault but this added another layer to frustration leaving tonight.
Beyond this evening, Vons Pickup in the Grover Beach location consistently disappoints me. Incorrect items, overcharges, and unwanted substitutions in almost all of my orders. Over the last three years, the once enjoyable shopping experience has taken a dramatic nosedive.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Emily R.SoMa, San Francisco, CA04Jul 24, 2024
The self checkout lady that was working on July 24th came at us at very hostile environment was screaming instead of talking in respectful manner. She had orange tan with glasses and blonde short bob she was older. If you do not love working with customers than find another job because the rudeness was rude when we didn't have a chance to open our mouth.

New to town and still figuring out where to go for our weekly stock up - won't be here! Overpriced basics, hard to decipher shelf labeling for deals/digital coupons, and a cashier ("T") who was effusively friendly to the lady in front of me yet when it was my turn, wouldn't even look me in the eye. Overall a totally unpleasant & unwelcoming experience.

I don't actually yelp stores but honestly I can't with this place anymore. I have lived within 1 mile of this store for 20 out of 30 of my years on this planet and have consistently shopped for groceries that whole time at this location. It went down hill after the merger and all the regulars have disappeared, maybe one or two left. Nothing is ever stocked anymore and they all pretend like they can't go check in the back for more, "if we had it, it would be on the shelf"...I've worked in grocery stores and I wasn't born yesterday I know that's not how it works. Kids pushing mops scrolling their phones... management here has given up. The store is on autopilot. Usually I just buy what I can and leave annoyed. Today I left my items and went to another store that was well stocked.

My niece sent me birthday presents from Von's in Grover Beach via INSTACART. They included two bunches of flowers and other things I really like. Two days after delivery the flowers look awful, especially the marigolds - see photo. I know my niece spent plenty of $$$ on my gifts, so I feel very bad for her.
Ironically the following RECENT review about Vons Flower Dept. is on line: I went in for milk and coffee creamer and ended up seeing some marigolds that were visibly dying and I asked the self checkout clerk if I could receive a little bit of a discount. Her response was that if they aren't dead then you aren't getting a discount in a stern and no smile or customer service composure.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Hello, we are very sorry for the rude experience you had at checkout with a cashier when you handed her two coupons. We are striving to always provide the best possible shopping experience at Vons. Please feel free to chat with us on our site or contact us page if you would like a follow-up with the store management. We have shared your feedback with the store management for review. Have a nice day!
Aug 7, 2022Previous reviewCheryl waited on me. Our encounter began badly when I handed her two coupons and she scowled and said, "WHAT ARE THESE?" And as I left, she rudely thrust my receipt at me with not even a Thank You. This woman is in the wrong job or she badly needs training. Isn't Von's Grover Beach Store Manager embarrassed by the many bad reviews of the people he/she manages?

This store has gone downhill. i can't count how many times now I've gotten home and found out things I've bought were expired or not even expired but moldy and bad! They'll hire just anybody these days as well without any training, apparently. I'll never forget the bagger that put raw chicken in with my baby's snacks and food. And little miss that walks around in clothes so tight I can see what she ate for breakfast. Highly inappropriate.

today is Sunday
October 29. I have a handicap sticker and my daughters dropped me off in the front
This big lady.
Gray blonde hair pulled back
Went up to my high end vehicle
And literally banged on the glass in a rage of a very angry bird.
(At this point, my window has an air leak now)
Vons corporate please get your workers to stay in control of themselves.
My kids were not reluctant to move as they were only dropping me off. I'm sorry the workers are so angry with this job and have a young girl as your Tattle tail.
The store was not busy, but I did try to go back in to rectify the situation of your bad behavior. But you just poof disappeared.
I hope everyone sees this by the date. The time was about 8:45 PM. Very very bad bad store. Please feel free to contact me here on yelp.
We're gonna be checking the cameras and tomorrow
And I will definitely be needing my window fixed on the driver side
