Vons

This store is always clean and very welcoming. The cashiers could be a little more friendly. No «Hello» or ‘how’s your day «. You can definitely save some money with their rewards card and the just for u app.

Since we are a one income family, I have to save money wherever I can. I usually shop at several stores for different reasons. I shop at Vons for meat because I shop their ads. So, whatever is in their ad as far as good meat sales I base my 2 week meal menu on what I buy through their ads. I save a lot of money this way.
The reason why I buy my meat here is because of the quality. I’ve never had any issues with the meat. They always have a great selection. The best part about their sales is if they run out of any of the meat in the ad that’s on sale, you can get a rain check! It stinks to have to go back, but at least you have the option and the rain check is good for 3 months.
Every time I go to the store, it’s always clean, well maintained, and fully stocked. The employees are always friendly and helpful. I will continue to buy my meat here.

Came here to grab some stuff for dinner and just noticed we live near this Vons but we don’t go here. We used to go to the one off Stockdale/​California but this one is better by leaps and bounds.
When we first walked in we noticed that the layout was drastically different than we were used to and this store is bigger by a good margin. Another stand out here is that the layout and displays had more elegance, what I mean is it looks so much more clean and eye catching. It’s weird because the Vons we are used to seemed very nice but this one is clearly above in appearance.
We perused the aisles a bit just to see where things were and they have a few more items available. All of their produce looked really nice. I think we will frequent this Vons a bit more, our major grocery shopping is at WinCo but for quick pick-​ups this will be good.
The service at the register was nice and quick!

Definitely a 4 star worthy vons. It is located in an awesome location, all the staff are always friendly, very clean, huge variety and lately they have also started selling organic products. Also they have a small starbucks inside. Great grocery store.

This is the best Vons in Bakersfield. It is large and the organic product selection is great. I have tried many of the deli items. They are always fresh, salads are delicious, and prices are fair. And honestly, the staff has been nothing but courteous, pleasant, and helpful. It’s been a pleasant shopping experience every time.

I am indeed a fan. I think I have hit all the grocers nearby home and this has to be my fave. I still like going to Sprouts in a pinch or to grab cool stuff at Trader Joe’s but to me, this Vons on Ming has it all. I buy my flowers from here and other than Costco, I would say this store has the best deal with the freshest roses. I am not afraid to buy seafood here at the counter as I am some other places. I like the deli with their Primo honey ham and buffalo chicken breast. Also from the deli, their boneless chicken wings for when I just have not had a chance to grab lunch elsewhere. Staff members are all fairly decent. This Vons is large, clean and even has a small clearance shelf at the back with non-​expired good stuff. The prices are pretty cheap off this shelf given the fact that the box or can may only have a slight dent. I do buy veg and fruit from here and have been happy with it. Not so much on the exotic side for that far out recipe but for everyday shopping, it works well. I like the bakery area too for their selection of whole wheat breads.
As other reviewers have said, we have used the ATM here right at the door and find it quite convenient.
We get coupons back almost every time we shop here! Using our Safeway rewards card really brings the total down at the cash too.
Best overall for selection, staff and clientele.

We went to the bank ATM inside this location. No problems. 5-​star for having an ATM !!!

I went in to grab a sandwich at 9:45 pm for work the next day. However, the gal behind the counter refused to make me one even though she said the deli didn’t close until 10pm. Still, she kinda gave the vibe that she just didn’t want to go through the effort. I am a huge fan of Safeway/​Vons, but was a bit dissatisfied with the service. Next time, i’ll spend the extra and go to the sequoia sandwich shop across the street.

Sushi — fresh and tasty
Sandwiches — made to order n very good. The portion size is good where I can eat half for lunch n half for dinner

Vons is always clean, presentable, and has excellent customer service no matter what department you go to. I frequent their deli and am never disappointed in quality and freshness. Although the store overall is a little pricey, it is well worth it given the comfortable and safe atmosphere. My boyfriend and I shop here often, it’s a wonderful store!

Clean and friendly like most Vons. They always have plenty of checkers, if the line gets long they always pull someone to help with the line.
I always like to grab there premade sandwiches, they are Huge and perfect for a picnic. The soups to go are delicious and great for a quick meal, all located in the deli area.

Located at the Marketplace, this is a great pit stop for goodies before a movie :). It’s also a great place to get a few groceries. I’m not the biggest fan of their prices, however the quality of their food is great. The shelves have always been well stocked and the store was very clean. Friendly staff, will definitely continue to shop here.

Great for last minute items! Must say sushi is great! Sushi chef will personally adapt what they have or make fresh while you wait. He actually stopped his break to make me a Marina sampler! Love him.

We do not shop at Vons regularly. When we do go to Vons, this is one of the two locations in town that we will go to. The prices are not the lowest in town, but the Vons Club Card helps to get better deals.
Everytime we’ve been to this store, it has been clean and well stocked. The staff has been good as well. I do like their bakery section. They make all kinds of tasty goodies there.

This store is a very nice Vons. Occasionally I stop in for a quick bite to eat for lunch, sandwiches or sushi. I never shop here as it is just too expensive. My main complaint about this place is around the lunch hour there is always long lines at the checkouts. They always call for back up and almost everytime, when the back up get there they take the last person in the line. It just isnt right, they should take the next person that has not put there groceries/​lunch on the conveyor belt as they had been waiting the longest.

Vons are (for the most part) very similar in design and layout. And being a get-​in-​get-​out kind of shopper, I appreciate knowing my plan of attack before I arrive.
This Vons has always kept up its appearance, maintained it’s stock levels, and encouraged excellent customer service with its staff.
The only thing that distinguishes this grocery from a 5 star store, is the selection of wines and cheese. It’s not that their selection is poor, but they could definitely do better. It’s places like Whole Foods that manages to keep my expectations high. But until we get a WF here in Bako, I’ll be more than happy shopping at Vons.

Vons has a truly talented person in charge of merchandising displays. The produce is so artfully displayed, that I almost feel like I’m at a farmers market. The subdued lighting seems more apropos for a romantic assignation than a shopping trip, but considering my torrid love affair with food, it puts me in the mood every time.
Vons is not the cheapest grocery store in town, but what they do have is a particularly good selection of those hard to find items that I just can’t get everywhere else — and that comes at a price I’m willing to pay.
Their deli has made to order sandwiches, heated chicken, wings, potato wedges, and mac and cheese in addition to the standard array of salads. They also have prepackaged but still mighty fresh salads and hot soups you can serve yourself. My favorite is the olive bar (bulk food) area where you can spoon yourself up Greek green olives with garlic, Calamata olives, garlic mushrooms, a Sicilian marinated mix, and Greek feta salad.
They also carry both Odwalla and Naked smoothie varieties and some of my favorite diety treats including vitatop muffin tops and a better selection of Skinny Cow and Weight Watchers ice cream sandwiches and bars than anywhere else in town. Throw in more varieties and flavors of Greek style yogurt than anyone else in town and you’ve got a winning combination!
Eat up!

The sushi bar here is a GEM hidden in the hustle and bustle of a supermarket. So fresh, delicious, and not-​too-​bad on the price scale ($ 10 will get you a decent sized sushi sampler). I’ve bounced around most of the sushi bars Bakersfield has to offer and as weird as it may sound, I still think this place has the best bang for your buck.

Best grocery store sushi, it’s made fresh a good amount of the day and you can even ask the chef to make something that is not out. It’s not quite restaurant quality but it will satisfy that craving if you can’t make it out.
This store is nice, comfortable, the employees are helpful, and it has a starbucks and great (grocery) sushi. It is probably the best grocery store in the SW area.
One thing I warn about at vons is their sale chicken, when I’ve gotten it it’s had a really strange consistency and poor taste. I got it twice thinking it was a fluke or I cooked it poorly but the second time was proof that it is just poor quality.
I don’t think vons it much different in price or selection than other grocery stores. Most vons, this one included, have upgraded their stores to make them look nicer, especially in the produce and deli section. I only shop at vons or albertsons for sale items, if you are paying their normal prices you are normally over paying, that’s just the way it is.

Vons has a great selection of food that other grocery stores don’t carry, but it comes at a price. I don’t usually shop here for all my grocery needs because of the fact that I’d end up paying twice as much here as I would elsewhere.
I do like the bakery here. I also like that they have a sushi chef that can make a roll to your liking.
