Parking lot is very dark. Some aspects of the center is not acceptable.Vons Market is well stocked and clean. Produce has never been a strong point with Vons.I go there because it is close by.

My experience with Vons in Encinitas is very good! I was going shopping a food for Christmas dinner a day before and I found everything I wanted. The supermarket is big and well organized. They have very good taste breads, cookies and cakes. Quality meat, ham as well. The section of fruit and vegetable is big and everything is fresh. Highly recommend for any shopping.

Old lady at self check out is rude and unhelpful when I said excuse me she snapped at me saying Im coming in a nasty tone, then disappeared to not be bothered again. I would not recommend if you appreciate friendly service.

Three things I love about this grocery store: 1. It accepts my Safeway club card; 2. It has a great selection of organic foods; and 3. The folks working here are both friendly and helpful.

This location is clean. I had an issue with pricing and they were able to fix it quickly. This location is open from 5am-midnight. It currently states open 24 hours in Google maps but that is incorrect.

Food Desert 🌵This is the definition of what a food desert is! No other local competitors means prices were raised. The prices are not even comparable to other vons in surrounding cities like Oceanside vista and Carlsbad.For the price go anywhere else in the city. This is my closest shop btw.

Seems like a nice place, the only reason I’m giving it a three star review is the sandwich cafe. I came in at 7:15 in the morning, and wanted to get a sandwich, but all the ingredients look like they were from last night. Would be nice that fresh stuff would be available from when they open. And also last night I wanted to get a sandwich at 7pm but it looks like they close that at 6, as soon as the ingredients will be fresh from opening then this review disappears

I went into the Santa Fe Dr Vons floral dept today to get my baby some flowers. Saw some sunflowers and a vase that matched. I asked Michelle at the floral counter for her opinion. She suggested that I get two sets of sunflowers but with contrasting colors. She stagger trimmed the stems into two different lengths by floral pattern. She filed up the vase with a special solution that prolongs the staying life of flowers and she also gave me some great tips on how to care for the flowers. She created such a beautiful arrangement. My girlfriend absolutely loved the flowers! Thank you Michelle for creating a work of beauty for my beauty.

Review №38

Not sure if this is all Vons but this one seems to care about profit and not turning those without masks away at the door. Patron local markets that actually care about their community (Seaside, Just Peachy to name a few) that have implemented a system and made it clear that you’re not getting in without a mask.

The bakery is the best! I needed a cake the same day and called in am. The lady that helped said they would make the raspberry diner cake for me and I could pick it up at 2. Amazing customer service and the cake was wonderful! Called a closer store first(Vons) and was told they had already finished baking and didn’t have the one I wanted. Can’t say enough about Siavash and his crew!!

Best Vons ever. Happy helpful employees and self-checkout. Great locally-grown organic produce and several sections that are geared more towards healthy food. Definitely not your average Vons.

Mi
Review №53

2 tiered pricing and its difficult to check out and get the lower price, I see people leave and overpay just because they are unable to remember the phone number of the card they signed up with- also nothing really special or remarkable considering the massive amounts of local competition- once delivery really kick in this might improve my overall opinion, but since I have to actually go there its usually a chore and only if I need to.

I like shopping at the Vons on Santa Fe boulevard in Encinitas. The employees are friendly and helpful.There is a bigger Vons on El Camino Real with more items. For what I need the Santa Fe Vons is great!

Vons has decent prices and selection if you use their rewards card. My only complaint about this location has been their 3s a crowd policy. Supposedly if 3 or more are in line they open another register. I have yet to see this happen.

JJ
Review №61

Lower prices than the other Vons nearby. Above average beer selection. Biggest gripe is the checkout lines. They refuse to schedule more than 1 or 2 people and it takes forever. The new 3s a crowd policy is not working, they page staff to open additional lanes but no one shows up or they hide in the back for 15 minutes.

Review №62

What an extremely overpriced grocery store compared to anywhere else in the San Diego area. I have never seen a grocery store with such high prices. What a bad value for your dollar at this Vons location. I will shop anywhere but here for groceries I recommend anyone who values a hard earned dollar do the same it’s a disgrace what this store charges for food.

CASEY CASHIER ENCINITAS VONS RACIST:accuses me of being a homeless person digging through the trash getting receipts when I was exchanging rotten produce(which I paid and had a receipt for) I had bought 15 minutes earlier. He humiliated me in front of the rest of customers, and I had to ask the manager Claudia for help.This is my neighborhood Vons that I usually go to about once a day, usually I am met with great customer service and a great product selection, so I was severely disappointed with this mans behavior, I hope he get retrained, because the level of service I was met with today was horrendous.

My go to for groceries for my family and when we are putting on a big party. The produce is always kept stocked nicely, and the produce staff is very informative. The wine selection has increased in size over the last year and includes a Sommelier. Good prices, great staff who acknowledge me and ask how my day is going.#BOOM

Review №81

Why does Vons allow vending machines in their store that are incapable of giving change?Hugo López, Director of the CA Lottery, is so stupid his brain must be something other than human. He purchased thousands of new lottery vending machines that are incapable of giving change. Which means that they are incapable of being autonomous and require an attendant. In the year 2018 it is common practice to buy a pack of gum, or a bottle of water, and get change. Vending machines are expected to give change. I put the smallest bill that I had, a twenty, and I expected to get $14 in change. This reasonable expectation is unreasonable when dealing with a moron like Hugo López. This incompetent needs to be investigated for corruption or fired for gross incompetence.
