Fresh & Easy

I’ve been a fan of this Supermarket since it first opened I think, in ²⁰¹⁰⁄₂₀₁₁? It was one of my favorites in this area of Alhambra/E.LA.
I started coming here again to pick up juices, fruits, and foods in general this past year.
I visited earlier today and was really SAD and shocked to learn that it’s closed «forever.» It’s not just «closed» which I would have just been still ‘meh’ about… But closed forever. Something about the word, «Forever» that makes one feel weird and whatnot.
Will miss it. Rest in peace.

The prices here were almost always higher than other supermarkets. I won’t miss this place.
Now can we get a Trader Joe’s here?

I am beyond bummed that they are closing! This was the go to grocery store for my husband and me. They had fabulous baked goods (ESP the cornbread and tiramisu), convenient already prepped veggies that you could just season and roast in the oven, and so much more. The staff was always friendly and the lines were never out of control (like the local Ralphs and Target). RIP, Fresh and Easy. You will be dearly missed! :(

They are closing!!! Hurry up if you want get their store brand organic coffee, pasta sauce and snacks!

When I lived in Alhambra, this was my go-​to grocery store. At first mainly because it’s walking distance from my place, but then as I started going more and more it became my favorite. We go about 3 — 4 times a week, usually late at night to get those discounted ready to eat items for breakfast or lunch the next day. It’s small so I get in and out very quickly, as opposed to getting distracted by a million other things like when I’m at Target or Costco. The employees always says hi and don’t hassle you even when you come in late at night when it’s almost closing time. Also, self check out is awesome!
So sad to hear they’re closing all stores.

This was my second trip to this location in Alhambra (normally I shop in the Rosemead location). My first trip here was fine so I decided to give it a second try (won’t return though). The food selection is similar to the Rosemead location so no problem there. But the problem I encountered was with the big girl that worked in the front checkout area in the afternoon.
Because of the overly sensitive machines, I was forced to ask for help. Once this girl came to fix the machine, she aggressively suggested that I break up my transaction and use another check-​out line. My wife and I feel comfortable to check-​out together as she can keep track of the price (sometimes items don’t scan properly or register correctly and show the wrong price) while I scan the groceries. So when I declined the suggestion, the big girl gave me a snarky response that I didn’t appreciate.
Then for the rest of the way, she stood there and stared at us as if were we crooks about to steal something, it was very uncomfortable. I am a long time shopper at Fresh and Easy (various locations) and spend lots of money on groceries here. Most of the employees are cool but I didn’t appreciate the attitude of this particular employee. Fresh and Easy Alhambra needs to either retrain their employees or find better and more polite workers.

I love fresh & easy very much! Fresh egg and fruits! Also great ready-​to-​go foods. And some special alcoholic beverages including grapefruit beer.

We do all of our weekly grocery shopping here. It’s smaller than a regular supermarket so it’s much easier to navigate but they still have everything we need!
They have a good selection of organic foods. Some are raw ingredients and other are prepared and ready to throw into a microwave or eat from a container.
We buy a lot of their prepared meals and salads for lunches and dinners which is really helpful to us. All of their meals that I have tried are tasty.
The staff here is extremely friendly and helpful. I have a disability and they always help me to check out and load my bags into the car for me.

Fresh and easy. Well I first started coming here with an ex. Ugh. (shudders) Anyways.
This market has always had a great selection. We would buy the quick meal setups on short notice whenever we couldn’t decide on what to eat… and when I say we. I mean she…
Shopping here is quick and painless like our breakup.
And the prices are decent. Although everything is either 1.99, 2.99, or .4.99. Black and white pricing. But at least you’re never surpised.
The employees always welcome you with a hello.
The only negative aspect I can see .and this is perceptive…
Is that the parking lot is always full. We can thank chipotle for that and all of those damn «hipsters» who eat there.
But I do love me a burrito bowl.
Let’s just save that for another review.

Store clean and well organized. Produce on the expensive side… except bananas. Pleasant staff. I like that I can get canned food with no sodium. Good deals on «about– to-​expire» items.
One star taken away for the gimmicks. I prefer Trader Joe’s because they don’t have «loyalty cards,» etc.
F&E emailed me some coupons on products I have bought there. They don’t show up on my F&E Android app. Called customer service. Said the app has problems and after buying the product I should call them for credit. Really? No consideration for my time or convenience. Also, if you spend $ 4.99, for example, you get 4 points only.
Don’t want silly games. Just make it simple and give me the best price without a hassle.

I CANNOT live without my neighbor market. I have been shopping here since it opened.

They’ve had a remodel last year or so. It’s still a great place. Staff is very friendly and always willing to help with any questions or concerns. I’m just sad that they don’t have the free samples anymore. Lol
*update! I stopped by last week and they had their free sample cart out! I’m so happy!

Hurraayyy. I love eating their To-​Go meals. I love their salads, their American and Italian to Chinese and Mexican meals. I wish they would serve something else besides imitation crab meat (salmon or plum please?) for the sushi.
They give deals for food that needs to go, which is perfect for me who needs something tasty to eat at a lower cost. I could go to Chipotle next door, but that’s a tiny bit more expensive than I need. :O
A lot of things are a little pricier than I need. I still love the $ 0.49 breads, too! :)

This place is a gem if you know when and what to buy. However, be aware that some items such as peanut butter or cereal are priced higher than across the street at Target. I get things I can’t find at other stores here such as the ready to cook flavored chicken breasts.
I love coming here during the morning to early lunch hours to pick up a meal at a discounted rate. Each morning they will slap some sale stickers on various goods set to expire at day’s end. They got some great deals on salads, fruits, cream cheese salmon bagels mmm. This daily sale is a smart move by the managing team. Without it, I would have rated this a 3 star market. Slash them prices more??? ;-)

This was my first visit to a Fresh & Easy. I liked their food selection, although it wasn’t all as natural as I thought. I was thinking more of a cross between Vons and Whole Foods, but closer to the Vons side. But the store was well lit when I came in. Employees weren’t that engaging though, and honestly, their appearance was kinda scary.

I went through one summer where I had about $ 500 all summer. I was in school, credit card was maxed out to pay for my parking permit and my books. I had next to nothing. I came in here regularly to shop for their clearance items. I can’t tell you how many of my meals consisted of their sales items– stuffed mushrooms, pizzas, meats, etc. For very little, I felt like I could actually eat something good.
I come to fresh and easy when I have some time to browse. My main purpose when I come in here is the clearance items. You can find some legit stuff on sale such as meats and ready to prepare meals.
They also have some unique seasonings and foods for a reasonable price, which again, is why I come in here when I have the time to look.
They are quite expensive with their frozen foods and their ice cream, so I would shop elsewhere for that.
Beer and wine selection is decent, but I have seen better pricing.
Overall, I do love this store.
My one complaint is that there have been times where the placement of a price tag or the placement of an item has lead to me believing the item was marked down significantly, only to find that it was how it was positioned. I have never been given the marked down price such as with Target. However, this is a small inconvenience and I would never choose not to shop there because of it.

It’s Fresh AND Easy. My new F&E loves:
*Honey Spiral Cut Ham. Um, hello. Just as good as Honey Baked and a fraction of the price.
*Nitrate free bacon (do you sense a pork theme here???)
*Premade Spanish rice. VERY good. Like a restaurant
*Humboldt Fog cheese (cheapest prices on the best cheese)
*Free and Clear Laundry soap
Thank god it’s right near my daughter’s school and seriously, every one is so nice here. You don’t have to fight for a parking space like TJs either.

Conveniently located next to my two favorite lunch spots, Chipotle and Flame broiler, this Fresh and Easy is a solid choice if you need to grab some quick groceries.
Although the prices might be a little higher than Ralphs or Vons, Fresh and Easy makes up for it with their healthy choices and better shopping experience. The store itself is really well organized and extremely clean, so I definitely prefer coming here over any of the other supermarkets, and I actually enjoy my trips in here.
The generic/​store brand of items is still much cheaper than the big name brand snacks and foods, so it’s always nice to try the Fresh and Easy brand items.
I particularly love getting baked goods and ready-​made lunches here. They taste great and are ready to go so it’s easy to swing by and grab something to eat even in a short lunch break.

By far one of my favorite spots to shop food for the week when I’m not out and about. Reasonable prices. What I like the most is how some packages are setup so that two people can enjoy them. That helps me big time.
Fresh and easy products are also great and very similar to its competition.
Come here often and hope they somehow remain open

Please don’t close this Fresh and Easy. It may not be fresh but its definitely easy. Also, they have a lot of weird items that you can’t find at Albertsons or Target.
Liquid smoke, speculoos, jarred Tikka Masala sauce (bought but have yet to try). Seriously the only other place that has liquid smoke is Amazon and its marked up and you have to wait for it. The speculoos is pretty much cookie butter but unlike TJ, its in stock. You better not buy all the speculoos.
Also, their prices are so reasonable. Okay, the cake flour is cheaper at Target but Fresh and Easy gives you coupons!
