Always a huge fan of Aldi for a multitude of reasons. The store is easy to navigate, the selection isnt overwhelming, the prices are always right, and everyone seems to understand whats going on when you visit. The cashiers here are as efficient as ever, the carts require the quarter so no ones leaving em in the lot, and theres a counter to bag your groceries on instead of all the places that just have you bagging your own stuff at the end of the belt, causing a jam while folks wait for you to get out of the way. This parking lot is plenty large and never difficult to get in or out of. We visit monthly.

Aldi is great. Avoid the rip off dollar store next to it. They are part of a debit card scam! Seems to be run by some Armenian people who just rip people off all the time. Youll find extra charges from the dollar store frequently and if you dispute it they say you were there even when you werent in the town. 100% fraud dollar king store!

German cheapness at its finest. Want a bag? Gotta pay for it. Want a cart? Pay for it. Want a clean cheap place to shop? Free. 🇩🇪

I was so happy when Aldis came to Altadena my neighborhood before I was going to Arcadia Aldis. Still great customer service and products a must stop for me 2 or 3 times a week. Very pleased

The place is a small/med size place with a good amount of selection to choose from. They do not have a big selection of produce or meat/chicken. But for all the ambient stuff is good veriety. When time to checkout, theyll ring it up, but you got to bag it yourself. Oh the best part of Aldi is their price is incredible and their meat/poultry is real good.

Aldi stores in the US look just like they do in Germany; same logo, same size parking lot. Even the shopping carts manage to look just like the ones in Germany! Nothing in the stores suggests that Aldi is a German company. But it is! Their worldwide headquarter is located in my hometown, Mülheim Ruhr.

Review №29

One of the worst Aldis for customer service. Cashiers are very unfriendly, they must be stressed. Dont they stock shelves at night? Maybe they need to hire more people. Shelves are empty of items, on a Wed. At 11 am???If you ever ask someone if you can finds them. They dont know wth. What happen to the few good workers they had in the beginning. One African American cashier is the ONLY friendly, helpful person I ever saw there. Havent seen him in the last few months. Corporate needs to get something going here.Its horrible.

Its hard to go to any other grocery store with the level of FAST checkout and CHEAP prices. The lack of options ensures your shopping is not overwhelming. Its a Trader Joes with none of the crowds for a quarter of the price. You will be hard pressed to find anyplace more affordable than ALDI. Highly recommend.

Im always happy with my shopping experience at this store. Its a bit of a drive for me, but worth it with how much I save. I get all of my basic grocery items here, but I save fresh meats for my trips to Ralphs, and pull ups/diapers for my pickups from Target. Oh!... And I always stock up on the $2 wine!

Review №46

The merchandise is great, but the store has not evolved with the demands of the pandemic. I left very disappointed. Carts are not being sanitized like other stores. Precautions are not being taken to maintain a clean check out experience either. I normally take my own reusable bags to gather my groceries, but while shopping at Aldi, it really is irrelevant. Since Aldi has a no bagging policy for their employees, every customer must use a cart at check out, sanitized or not. The cashier looked for the nearest cart to throw my items in, and he literally threw my items. I found him incredibly rude. Until check out, I had really enjoyed my experience. Id rather go to a market with better customer service and higher sensitivity to the consumers needs.

They end up charging us the for two items when we only bought one and this is like maybe the fourth or fifth time theyve done this enough is enough and what we have to go back up there we dont have a number to call them and let them know what they did wrong and this is up and altadena were going to have to start reading our receipts when we walk out the store

Basic food and supply store; easy parking. You need a quarter to detach a cart. No name brands but their own brand can be tasty. They are a subsidiary of a European (German?) grocery company so youll find a lot of international foods. The prices are lower but you have to bag your own groceries.

Review №65

I always find what Im looking for here. An entire shopping list for half the price. Some of the brands are not exactly popular brands, but they work out just the same, (if not better) for the price. The employees are helpful, the store is tidy, and my only issue with this location are the long lines. Make sure you bring a quarter (coin) to borrow a cart. Yes, you need to have one on hand.

Prices are lower than their competitors. Variety of products are available. Bring your shopping bags and 25 cents to get a shopping cart. Plenty of parking. Safe location. Good for smart shoppers. Convenient location. Store is clean. Staff was helpful to me. Items are always in stock. The store even have flowers for special occasions!!!! Store is adjacent to main road artery. There is small shopping areas, restaurants and even a post office is near by the location. Safe for locals and tourists. I definitely recommend the store if you like to save on your groceries.

After all the overwhelming US stores with their confusing huge selections and deli counters and frozen convenience food aisles and coupons etc., this store is a breath of fresh air for an European expat who just wants to cook his own stuff. This is definitely German style, down to the deposit-unlocked carts (no carts standing in parking spaces ready for you to crash into). Bring your quarter, or get one from the cashier. The German style Brats are pretty much real German style. The only thing I could criticize is the produce, theres better options concerning taste & freshness.

Aldi is an excellent value, with small brand items and some brand items of Their Own. You will be able to find all of your Staples here. There are some minor idiosyncrasies but you should know before you go. The baskets require a deposit of a quarter to use. There is There is there is a large metal basket in the store folding cardboard boxes were you to use to box up your groceries instead of bagging them. The store is great and definitely worth checking out.

Review №93

While at first I was totally unfamiliar with Aldi, its become my go to store. I love the fact that you need a quarter to get a shopping cart because this eliminates the ugly cart abandonment problem in the lot and surrounding neighborhoods. Not to mention car dings from runaway carts, which was a big problem at the former store occupying this site due to it being on an 8% grade. While Aldi does not have shelf after shelf of extremely similar competing products like other stores--I actually find this very helpful--I dont want to have to look through 30 types of cereal to find the one I want, what they have is excellent in taste and value, it often being their own store brand. Found some peanut butter and chocolate cookies at $1.38 a package, and they taste totally awesome, and would easily cost $3.00 or more anywhere else. Wine selection, while small, has a good range of prices, and the store brand, Winking Owl is an excellent value at $2.39 a bottle, and very suitable for everyday consumption. Likewise with the produce department not having a huge selection, but they have what you need and always have something great on special (like blueberries 2 for $3.00). Three is a large baked goods section, and the 12-grain bread at $1.69 a loaf would cost far more at Whole Foods or Sprouts, and tastes GREAT, toasted or not. I feel the meat department is the weakest department --its Costco style--where one must buy large packages to experience a cost savings, and since its just myself and my husband, its a hassle to buy a large package and have to divvy it up for the freezer. I buy my meat somewhere else, but thats about it. Dairy is one of the best values in the store, and I like the cage free eggs at at least $1.00 a dozen less than anywhere else. Dont mind bagging my own stuff, and the staff is always friendly and helpful here.

If youre looking for good quality everyday products and you dont give a fig about brand names,Aldi is the place to shop. Good quality meat,a fair selection of vegetables and baked goods, a very good section for beans,rice,etc ...eggs at an incredibly low price...and an honest If you dont like it, bring it back policy Ive only had to use once for some mediocre coffee cakes... You have to bag it yourselve and pay a quarter to rent a cart (you get it back when you park the cart) but I dont consider that a disadvantage, especially since they use real human beings at the check out and not a machine. And if it matters... Aldi is the parent company of Trader Joes...
