Vons

I really don’t know where to begin last night I stop by Vons normally my go to place is across from were I live at Albertsons. The reason for going to Vons was to get a few stuff and see what pastries they have. I bought the small package of sugar cookies for $ 3.50 and oh my they were hard and stale. Albertsons has fresher ones. The cookies suppose to be soft and chewy. Yuck had to throw them away. To top off my trip I saw a criminal that did time for robbing a bank I used to work for. She was just standing there looking around with a basket full of stuff waiting for someone. The idiot recognized me. Lol I should of said something but she is not my problem. Message to Vons keep an eye on everyone who walks in!

Although vons tends to be a bit higher in price, their quality is better, and the staff are exceptionally helpful. I don’t get off work til 9−1039pm, and the young talk manager is so extremely friendly. I will pay a little more but I get back much more in sincere and genuine people

If I gave a review based solely on one item that I didn’t find, Vons would receive a solid one star. I’ve been craving Little Debbie products since past weeks and this is the second Vons I’ve come to. I entered with high hopes but I only left the same as I did on my first exploration to the previous Vons franchise in West Palmdale: sorrowful. There is demand here and it needs to be supplied by those boxes pictured with that cute Caucasian ginger girl. Only Little Debbie can revive my smiley smiley goodness and until I am reunited with those small delights, I refuse to return to Vons…
No not really, I’m sure I’ll be returning probably the next day. I love that store, thus why I still gave it four stars still (not five stars, to show my act of rebellion).

I will never buy an ounce of meat here ever again. This is the final straw for me. I bought so many Tri Tips that are supposed to be trimmed. When I get them home and out of the package I find a fat cap of a half inch to an inch thick EVERYTIME. This has also happen to me on several pork and beef roasts at this location. I understand that a fat cap is normal for roasting but as you can see by the photo the $ 10 worth of fat weight is non sense. It’s a money grab. Elsewhere I go.

I am very pleased to say that the Von’s bakery items/​cakes are amazing! This Von’s is pretty far from my home but since I work close by I’ve always had my cakes and cupcakes ordered here. Nancy the cake baker/​decorator is wonderful! She makes the most beautiful/​tasting cakes and cupcakes ever! The staff in the bakery department are really nice and sweet as well!
I had originally ordered three cakes from the Von’s in Palmdale, thinking all Von’s were the same; two cakes were to be picked up the day of the party and one of the cakes was to be picked up two days before the party. Let me tell you, I was not happy with the way the cake looked nor tasted. The cakes were for my daughters bday party. I was really disappointed. The morning before my daughters bday party, I decided to pay the Von’s in Lancaster a visit and talk Nancy, the cake baker/​decorator, see if she’d whip up two cakes for me, considering it was last minute on a weekend.
I explained to her how I wanted the cakes to look, how much frosting to put and the colors of the cake, she said she could do it :)
The day of the party I was running around picking up balloons and other items needed for the party. I drove all the way to Von’s in Lancaster to pick up my cakes.
I was amazed! The cakes looked beautiful and perfect! I was so happy and pleased with the service I wanted to tip Nancy! … To bad you can’t; Von’s policy.
She did an amazing job with my cakes!
Nikki one of the bakery staff was really nice, she helped me to my car! I was pleased with the cakes and the service I got!

Spent two hours in the store shopping with their app, coupons, and ibotta. The staff on the floor was more then friendly. Went to use the app at checkout, and the cashier had no idea how to help and was rude about it. Ended up walking away from a basket full of groceries. I get that not everyone knows how androids work, but why not call a manager? And why be nasty about it?

Not the best selection of meats (although definitely not terrible… I was able to find a whole duck to roast, but it was frozen).
Other than that, this place is THE BEST place to get groceries if you’re stationed at Edwards. Sure, it’s a drive, but as long as you’re planning your Lancaster errands, you can be sure to do your grocery shopping here.
The deli and produce sections had a HUGE variety of quality choices.
There is a Starbucks inside, also.
Pries are high-​ish, but I expect that for quality food, so it wasn’t surprising, and it was still within the realm of reasonable, for me.

I am writing this review for the friendliness of the staff, not about the food. I am not sure what is their customer service attitude. But the Vons store needs serious instructions on how to treat customers. I have been there multiple times and first of all the deli and starbucks workers do not smile at you, and make you wait even if you are the only person. It is not like they did not notice me, but they just ignore and come to me after 5 minutes. This happened multiple times. It is just mind blowing that other supermarkets do everything to please the customers and your employees do not do that. Common there are a lot of supermarkets out there and this is just a basic thing that your employees should be taught. Coming from Florida, may be I have been spoiled by the employees at Publix

Vons is a bit pricier than other stores, I know, but I still cannot move myself to go anywhere else. This store is ALWAYS clean, organized, and relaxed. Not to mention it has the best peaches I’ve ever had. Every year. Best peaches. I live down the street so its my gem. I go there all the time no matter what I need to grab. And they do have killer deals every now and then. They stay open late, which is nice. And I’ve never had to wait in line more than 5 minutes. I usually try to find Shane, the store supervisor, if he’s ringing, because he can get you through the line in about 60 seconds. It’s incredible. Thank you Shane. Thank you.

There are a lot of food allergies in our family so I’m always on the look out for things that are food allergy friendly. I love that I can find Tofutti cream cheese and sour cream, Daiya cheeses and cream cheese (team Tofutti all the way though), as well as Earth Balance dairy free butters and spreads. The only other place that I’ve seen carry Earth Balance in the AV is at the Whole Wheatery and their prices can be a little steep sometimes.
There’s also a small section dedicated to gluten free products. They do carry some gluten free bread but those are mixed in with the regular bread in the bread aisle. I appreciate how they have different styles of gluten free bread besides sliced loafs (i.e. ciabatta, etc.). They do carry wheat free pastas in quinoa and veggie forms but I’ve either overlooked any rice pastas or they simply don’t carry them.

I work in the plaza so I am always here. Good store, but it does need more check out lines open.

I love this vons!!! The have excellent customer service always very friendly and helpful. This place is very clean I highly recommend it!

Love this store. Great selection, good prices, and very nice staff. Always clean. Staff is always helpful.

Usually enjoy my experience here until recently. I saw a think of wings for .99cents in the heating table (or whatever it’s called). Just to make sure, I asked the woman at the deli counter to scan the price on the tag.
The woman could barely speak English for one, and then she goes over to the other woman behind the counter out of confusion, then she RIPS the sticker off of the package and then comes back to me and asks «how much was this?» Bitch! It said .99 cents. I asked you to scan the sticker. Plus it is ILLEGAL to remove a tag off of an item that has already been displayed.
Her sheer ignorance and lack of language skill infuriated me, and I just said forget it. Can’t shop somewhere with incompetent people who can barely communicate with me.

This is a pretty nice Von’s compared to other stores in the AV. It has a very nice selection of produce which I like and their shelves are always pretty much stocked. This location also has a Wells Fargo inside including ATMs AND a Starbucks!!! One stop shop if you ask me.
The checkers and the staff can be a hit or miss. I’ve had some really nice people help me while others look at you with disregard (I’m looking at you checkers) but other than that it’s pretty much a good store. Albeit a little pricey, but hey it’s a Von’s. Whatever.
One star off because of the wait times in line and the bathrooms! My god they’re disgusting! Lol

I go to this Vons all the time since it is the only Vons in Quartz Hill. They always have a good selection of produce and organic produce. The employees are nice and helpful. There is a redbox inside the store that is always really busy, and a Starbucks which is relatively fast compared to the chain stores. They don’t have a self check out which I miss compared to Albertsons. I like the atmosphere in VONs compared to Albertsons.

My go-​to place if I need to cook something last minute or if I forgot to buy an ingredient. I always come here since its down the street from me. Always clean and friendly staff!
Oh, and they have a starbucks inside. Heck yea. Need I say more?

Look I live across the way from this vons. So let me give you the run down on this place. Always stocked, great alcohol section, great prices when using your vons card. Now go check out their deli section and try the ham, swiss and cheddar pennine. Add pepperocini and red onions with chipotle sauce a little bit of mustard toast it all together and BAM you got yourself a nice lunch :)

I drove by this location due to the fact that we were making a beer run! This Vons location has by far the best beer selection I have seen in a grocery store chain. I am used to seeing typical domestic beers at my local stores, but this location had some of the best choices such as Hefeweizen, Newcastle, Guinness, Grolsch, etc.
Very clean store run by very helpful staff. Wish I lived close by here just for the beer selections! I know this review seemed only focused on the beer selections but to make it short and simple, clean store, well organized, friendly staff and a killer beer selection!

Vons is THE best grocery store. Hands down.
APPEARANCE
— — — — — — — -
The store is well stocked, clean, and beautifully presented. Maybe its the lighting over the produce, but there is no way you can pass up the shiny apples and tomatoes. Everything is stacked beautifully and the isles are spacious. (Thank goodness because getting up close and personal with someone in the bread section is not how I want to meet someone).
SELECTION
— — — — — —
There is a great selection of pretty much whatever you are looking for. Fresh fruits and veggies– check, breakfast and snake food– check, meats and dairy– check. And the quality is great. There is also a gorgeous collection of flowers, and some already prepared in vases up front.
EMPLOYEES
— — — — — — –
Everyone is super friendly and helpful. The lady behind the counter in the meat and cheese section was warm and smiling. She didn’t act as though we were inconveniencing her when we asked for samples (which is probably my least favorite thing to happen at a grocery store.) And at the register, my mom accidentally punched a hole through a bag of bread we were getting and that went to get us a new bag so it wouldn’t dry out by the time we got home. The bagger was nice and we were helped to our car with the groceries.
PRICE
— — — -
Its a tad expensive I suppose… but join the membership club thing and you will save a bundle. And it is so worth it for what you are getting. If we didn’t live in Rosamond, we would shop here so much more.
