Pavilions

This store has gone so far downhill that I pretty much go there only when I need dog food or the pharmacy. Pavilions used to be an upscale Vons but now it feels like a downscale Walmart. Its inventory system is a mess: Every aisle has empty shelves and it’s pretty rare that I can purchase everything on my shopping list.
The staff is very good, though cutbacks mean it’s pretty rare not to have a checkout line three customers deep. The produce department and the bakery are pretty good, too.
Glad to have a Lazy Acres and a Gelson’s in the neighborhood.

Long history of outdated, spoiled and bad food. I have notified management in the store (John) to corporate (Tom Nelson) with zero results or care for their products and store. This store used to be the place to shop. I never complain about prices but when I pay for something I expect the best. From the meat to the vegetables you have to inspect everything or be prepared to return it when you find it rotten or bad. I have spent hundreds of dollars on gas alone returning items. Now its the last straw. The issues are a continuing problem. The manager John all the way up to Tom Nelson are the failure points of management of this store. I have spent enough time and money trying to secure this store as our neighborhood market. Safeway has no desire to do the basics in grocery. QUALITY. I suggest checking every date, item and meat selection before you put it in your cart. The flash frozen fish most of the time has unthawed, spoiled and re frozen so be sure it has retained its vacuum seal before you buy. I personally will not give another cent to this company. Trader Joes is further down the road but worth it for the quality. Regardless of convenience avoid this disaster. They had plenty of chances to do the right thing. Meet the new boss… same as the old boss… See ya

I was looking for a cake without the heaviness and found this round, three layer delight. White cake with a light cream (don’t know exactly what the cream was) and fruit on top. Much to my family’s delight it was wonderful and just with enough sweetness to call it dessert, totally scrumptious, just wish they had a bigger size. The bakery attendant was nice and helpful.

Big and beautiful grocery store.
But OMG the deli counter. I like my beef aged, but preferably BEFORE I get there, not while I wait to get my order and check out. Good God…

A large, clean grocery store with everything you’ll need! Love coming here because the store is organized well. There’s also a panda express and starbucks out front which is very convenient for a one stop shop! I usually stop here to pick up cake from the bakery for any office birthdays. I highly recommend the fruit tarts, chocolate mouse cake, and white mouse cake topped with fresh fruits. Delicious!!! Also decently priced at $ 14 for a cake that can feed 10 to 12 people. The employees are also really friendly and helpful which makes the shopping experience so much better! :)

The store– the employees– the selection and the club prices– no store better!!! The pharmacy is run and maintained by true professional that care about YOU!!! wont go anywhere else!

Pavilions is in a big shopping center it is the main store surrounded by cleaners Panda Express spring Dental Group I care company pool company has a lot of various stuff but it has great items for sale items to choose from great place to shop at

By far my favorite market I have ever shopped at, the service is great. It is very clean and they have a huge variety of food, the desserts are amazing. the alcohol selection is huge and everyone is very friendly

Huge thanks to Cyndee in the bakery dept. Two weeks ago she helped us design and create a double high ¼ sheet lemon cake for a 50^th wedding anniversary that was so beautiful and so yummy that guests were asking which gourmet shop made it. This week we had her make my birthday cake and when the flavor I wanted was only available in a narrow slice, she creatively put 3 together and used frosting and blueberries to bring it all together. Amazing service and great, expensive looking cakes. 5 stars!

I may be looking for a new market now that I am unsure about Haggen taking over my Albertsons. Thought I would give Pavillons a try. The lay out of the store seems off but that may be just something I would have to get used to. The prices seemed slightly higher, noticed this particularly when buying a 4 pack of Red Bull and sodas. Bakery selection looked good. Produce looked good, nothing remarkable in the frozen food section. The store was clean, checker polite. Not sure I loved it.

Great market.
The pharmacy is organized and so friendly. I won’t go anywhere else!
Floral is amazing.
Freshest fruit and veggies.
Lots of great help; they take your groceries to your car.
And best of all — they deliver.

When I’m looking for a better selection of produce that doesn’t cause me to take a loan out against my 401K, this is my go-​to place. Maybe it’s because I get here later in the evening (like uh, 7:00 pm), but I rarely find anyone working behind the deli section counters. Maybe that’s a good thing because I’d probably impulse buy food that looks yummy but is bad bad bad.
I do not like the layout of the store. It never fails that I forget something and have to backtrack several times to whichever section carries what I missed. Maybe they should publish a road map or a GPS tracker so I’ll know where to find the flipping cheese next time.
The employees are generally friendly (at least those that I can find) and the check out lines are rarely long. They have a self-​serve check out which I’ll use only if I’m not buying produce. Looking up produce codes on the screen is painfully slooooooooooow. I’m old school dammit.

I love this store because all of the departments are packed with quality goods. Its organized and clean. Its pricey but sometimes its worth it.

VERY snooty! Too dark & their pre-​packaged sanwiches are horrible! Stale, plastic taste.. ugh! They try too hard to make it look upscale, but as soon as you encounter them you see just how cheap it is…

Hands down my favorite grocery store in the area. I have been shopping here for some time now and every time I’m here I seem to find whatever I need. The store is always clean I really like the fact that they always have freshly baked goods! This is my one stop grab everything I need on the way home from work.
Their meet department is A+ best quality meats you could find. The staff is always helpful.

So my experience was horrible with the Floral department! Don’t come here for flowers or balloons.
So… I’m rushing in the morning to pick up a balloon for a coworkers bday. I get to the floral desk, there is an employee there… she says someone will be right with you. She calls for CS and leaves. So I wait, and wait, and wait… no one comes. I go to the bakery and ask a lady if she can call someone to help me. She calls for CS at the floral desk… I wait and wait and wait. No one comes. After waiting 15min total, I go to the cashier and ask if someone can help me. I tell the lady CS has been called twice. So 5min later… finally not one but two people come. The guy takes his time looking for the balloon I requested… he cant find it, pulls one out and is like oh this is not it, so I say, its fine, ill take it, I have to get out of here. So he blows it up, doesn’t bother curling the string. The girl rings me up… $ 8 for one normal Mylar balloon (I don’t think so) I paid but I was like wait a minute. Why is it $ 8… she said because that’s what it cost. I said no, it says over there $ 4… so she ring back $ 4 and give me change. I was like what just happened? Was it a mistake? I’m asking since she didn’t bother explaining. So she said she rang me up incorrectly. Dude really. It’s not rocket science. Its ONE balloon and two of you can’t get it right. Never going back!
Same day, my coworker went there to buy a whole rotisserie chicken… $ 10 for a 2 lb chicken 2 lb! Dude outrageous!

I called on a Wednesday mid morning to order 2 dozen cupcakes, chocolate cake with hot pink frosting for pick up on Saturday morning at 10 am. The lady on the phone said they were $ 10, does that seem right? Maybe she meant for each dozen? We shall see…
Well picked them up at 10 am Saturday morning and they were $ 10 and they were beautiful!!! I highly recommend and will definitely order from them again.

It’s unfortunate when a husband and wife have a combined income of over 300K and still can’t afford to shop at a particular grocery store.
This place’s prices are OUTRAGEOUS, esp. when you consider the quality of food. I have purchased meat from this establishment with a sell by date that is 4 – 5 days in the future only to have it seriously spoil the next day. I feel like if they are going to charge what they charge here, you should at least be followed around the store with a gun. That way, you at least legitimately feel robbed. The produce section is small with not a lot to choose from. Absolutely nothing is ever on sale, no bargains, nothing to bring you in the door, which is why every time I go, the place is empty except for a line at the register.
About said line. If you have 6 – 7 people with large baskets in line, call someone up front! And how these people with large baskets afford what they are buying is beyond me. If you are going to charge people 400 dollars for 4 bags of food, at least don’t make them wait in line!
My first visit here, I had moved from out of state and did not have a VONs card. No one was at customer service, so I went up to the line thinking that the lady would give me a card and give me the discounts. Nope. She rings the groceries. Gives me the receipt and tells me to come back with said receipt when I get a card and they will give me the savings… WHAT??? LMAO.
Pavilions is THE most expensive grocery store out there… and for NO reason. It is cheaper to go to Whole Foods, Bristol Farms, drive out of state and go shopping, etc. Plus, at least at higher end boutique shops like the aforementioned, you get a higher quality of food. Don’t pay 6.99 for a 12 pack of Coke JUST because it’s Pavilions. If you do, just email me. I will sell it to you for 5.99.
Before an experiance like this, I’m bought dinner and at least kissed… but not here…

Although Pavilions is part of Vons… I prefer Pavilions more because they have more choices.

I don’t usually shop at Pavilions, but when I do, it’s because I want to avoid the line at Starbucks on Bellflower and Spring.
On this particular trip, I tried their Deli section. They had a special on a grilled cheese sandwich or turkey panini for $ 5. Not only do you get the sandwich, you have a choice of small soup or soda & chips. It was a great deal.
I had their grilled cheese sandwich with soda.
Not bad. Definitely a change of pace from going to an overpriced sandwich shop.
