“Always here staffs are different courtesy Mr. “Ricky” remarkably kind and gentle man barely seen like this service
And a young lady beautiful and fitted very kind
This place very good even if the same Trader Joe’s so different. The lady is beautiful and behaved beautifully very simple barely seen like this other places.”
“I had a pretty special experience at Gelson's in Dana Point this past Friday. After I had returned a box of pasta back to the original location instead of leaving it on the end-aisle display where I had decided on another brand, the on duty/store manager came up to me and thanked me. I try to do a lot of "good" in life...certainly much more important in scale than this, but having him notice and then taking the time to compliment me was very special. Thank you for taking the time to recognize a small courtesy.”
“BEWARE OF THIEVES AND PICK POCKETS! THIS LOCATION HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM OF THIEVES SWIFTLY STEALING THINGS (wallets, phones, etc) RIGHT OUT OF YOUR PURSE OR SHOPPING CART. as far as the staff and the trader joes products obviously this store gets 5 stars. but people ought to be warned!!! its happened 5+ times at this location. AND its actually an issue happening across all trader joes stores in america!! keep your wallet and device either firmly in your hand at all times or securely fastened close to the chest. I will forever feel unsafe in trader joes stores now and it used to be my happy place )-:”
“Haven't been here in a few years. But I like what they have done with their little Joey crackers and such. What I do not like is their rendition on OREOS! F-ing joe-re-os. This is clearly a rip-off of the classic snack that we all know and love?. I haven't tried them but all I've heard is good things. I would go here more often if convenient.”
“Lovely place with incredible produce and flowers. The quality of the cafe food is unmatched, and it's such a beautiful and welcoming outdoor atmosphere. Everything we've tried from baked goods & jams, to breakfast sandwiches & tacos have been wonderful. It's certainly not cheap (so beware if you're on a budget), but I'm always happy to support this place!”
“First time in this store. I’ve heard that prices can be high, but appears to be a high quality product.
I had a portion of “San Francisco Potato Salad” from the deli, which was good, no complaints.”
“Of course, the best deal on the planet is Taco Tuesday and Friday. But the second best deal is the Tuesday and Friday burrito combo. 10 bucks for a monster burrito, fries and a soda.”
“Love this local spot. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and you can tell they work hard to keep everything running smooth. They have a huge variety of fresh products and authentic items you don’t always find at other stores.
One of my favorite parts is being able to grab my wife’s favorite hard seltzer here. They carry local brand in both 24oz cans and 12 packs, and they always keep it fully stocked.
Great people, great selection, and a place you can count on every visit.”
“This Trader Joe’s has the best location! I can get a climbing sesh in and then get my groceries after!
I came here before close on a Wednesday night looking for cookie dough bites I saw on instagram.
An employee named Dillon really went above and beyond and made my experience here memorable. I was talking to my friend about looking for guava jelly and he overheard and mentioned to me that he thought they were out of stock. He didn’t stop there though… he went and checked for me to make sure. I appreciate the extra effort he took there and saved me from mindlessly wondering around for it.
I was a little bummed as both the cookie dough bites and guava jelly were out of stock but just as I was checking out he was able to find me a bag of cookie dough bites, completely making my night! They were also really good and I would highly recommend.
I had such a good experience here and would come back again for sure!! Dillon is the best!!”
“The sweetest ever cashier Erin saved my daughter. At checkout, my daughter was sitting in the top seat of the cart and her cousin was helping unload groceries. While trying to reach the bottom of the cart, her cousin was hanging on the side and the whole cart tipped over and almost landed on her and my daughter would have smacked her head really bad. The (gorgeous might I add) cashier Erin swooped into action and saved the day. She caught the cart mid fall. My chicken Caesar wrap was the only casualty and they promptly sent someone to replace it with a new one. She even remembered to give my kids stickers at the end. I can’t say thank you enough. What an amazing employee and the coolest ever grocery store.”
“Thank you so much for being the best store in the nation. Seriously. What a great family of people. The meat market, vegetables and choices are excellent!. The merchandising, facing and stocking gives me joy rather than fear after a pandemic of empty grocery store shelves.Try their pre cooked lobster and a ribeye daily.”
“Think about it, you can see how amazing THIS store is just by noticing the staff doesn't change, you then start remembering employees names and build a great rapport with. If it's a great place to work, it has to be a great place to shop.”
“I spoke to Tania 2 times on the phone regarding availability of some wine. She is so friendly, helpful and professional.
Thank you Tania ?

“I’d give these guys more than 5 stars if it was possible. They have exactly what I need, every single time. I’m in and out in no time. And I know I’m getting some of the cleanest/ highest quality ingredients on the market. Plus the staff is always pretty knowledgeable on the products, so it just makes it that much better. I don’t go anywhere else for supplements”
“THE VERY BEST EXCELLENT LOWER PRICES THAN ANY OTHER SUPER MARKETS OR GENERAL GROCERIES STORES
GODLY PRICES AND FAMILIES ORIENTATION TREATMENT TO CUSTOMERS”
“You find everything you need for your pantry and the meat and cheeses are all fresh... the prepared food has very good seasoning and Mr. Antonio is always very friendly and happy to serve his customers.”
“The customer service there feels like you are being taken care of by Nordstroms or a nice department store! John was really helpful and great recommendations. Always such a pleasant shopping experience.”
“Wade is the most incredible employee there - full of customer care and service - goes out of his way to be kind and thoughtful - certainly made my sad day to a beautiful light - thank you - your gesture was phenomenal!!”
“Pavillions is a very nice grocery store with and amazing inventory of food choices. There is a fresh deli and sushi department, meat and seafood department, and a bakery, as well as a very well-stocked wine and liquor department. Store is neat and clean. Unfortunately, most of the staff are unfriendly or indifferent, with a couple of exceptions. Prices are higher than the average supermarket but the excellent quality and selection makes up somewhat for that.”
“I'm so glad I found this shop online while searching for something special for a friends local (virtual) wedding. The woman who helped me was so patient and took the time to find what I needed and went out of her way to make sure it got delivered to my friend. Really appreciate the sense of hospitality I got from this shop - hope to visit in person one day!”
“It’s a bit of a downer, but I actually like this place. It’s not too crowded and has all the essentials. There are a few folks in the parking lot who seem to need help, but I’m not sure why they’d choose Von’s parking lot. Lately, there have been a lot of women asking for assistance. They seem to be in good shape and can help themselves. I just don’t want them to rely on me. I don’t want to bother them either.”

“My new favorite is the Tuscan herb olive oil and red wine vinegar. I love this place we visit san clemente once a year and I'm always buying a case to send back home the owner is so sweet and helpful and I think its the chef they do classes with I met last time was awesome who introduced me to this mixture. Everything I've tasted though is amazing and rich not what you can get in the grocery store. Totally worth the money for the quality. They answer every question you have and are always so helpful. Can't wait to go back in a couple months for a birthday present to myself.”
“Wow, what can I say? I can’t believe how much you guys help my family whether I pick the groceries up or have them delivered. I have no words your kindness and accuracy is spot on 1000% of the time! One of us is there 3-7 times a week, Groceries are delivered at least twice a week and my household wouldn’t be able to function without you all! The cost to have my groceries shopped for and delivered here - I’ve tracked over the last two years - and I saved so much more money by shopping here and even having them delivered than if I were to shop for them myself at Ralph’s or Vons or pavilions or any other local grocery chain! Mark Jessie Cynthia Jeff Selenia - I don’t know how you keep that store constantly stocked and all of the customers are so happy whenever I’m in there! I’ve had so many conversations with people over the last decade, but especially in the last two years that store is in top stellar shape! It is so clean als! It’s never out of stock everyone’s always so kind when I come in and you know me I shop super early in the morning super late at night and all hours in between I have a household with three generations in it and I buy things on absolutely every single aisle and I can’t thank you guys all enough for all your kindness your efficiency over the years and your hearts’ dedication for Serving the Aliso Viejo and surrounding city communities, my family absolutely depends on shopping here and I don’t know what we would do without your store, but especially without the customer service and all your employees in every department every shift are so amazing! I truly hope corporate reads this and let them know that I live on Windsong and my family needs the store. Please don’t ever close it! Give everyone At the Aliso Viejo, Stater Bros. a raise because they all work so hard! They have employees who have been there for 15 and 20 years and some that are only there for a couple years and they’re like a family unit how they work and there are a secondary family to mine In my household of nine peopl! We love Aliso Viejo Stater Bros. thank you so much! Lyla Rust Aliso Viejo”
“Sprouts offers a balance between affordability and quality, especially when it comes to produce and bulk items. It’s smaller than larger grocery stores, which makes it easier to navigate.
Selection is solid, and the layout is straightforward. Staff is helpful, and checkout moves quickly.
As someone who works locally, this is a place that comes up often in conversations. Clients ask me about places like this when they’re evaluating daily convenience.
Parking is easy, location is accessible.
It’s efficient and practical.”
“Absolutely the best toasted Italian sandwich I've had in years! Fresh made from the deli, great products such as Boar's Head deli meats, and the bread crispy on the outside, soft inside, panini style with some beautiful and tasty sauces, and enormous for about $10. Easily eat half now and half later. And this was considered a "half" sandwich - still had two halves!*my personal favorite is to dip it in their freshmade shallot yogurt for even more flavor.”
“I highly recommend this Iranian supermarket to everyone! They offer the freshest fruits and vegetables at the lowest prices, making it the perfect place for quality groceries. The management is outstanding, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Plus, the staff is incredibly polite and respectful, always ready to help with a smile. Shopping here is truly a great experience, and I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my Persian groceries!”
“It's Ralph's - good variety of products that you would expect to be in a Ralph's. However, this store is so small that it is very cramped. It's hard to squeeze past someone whose in the same aisle as you.”
“Good grocery store. Generally helpful staff. Plenty of parking. Restrooms are in the back of the store. Prices are higher than those at Trader Joe's for similar products. Decent raw options for milk and cheese. Lots of organic and healthy food to pick from.”
“I am so impressed by the customer service at this location , Karina went above and beyond to help me find Chinese five spices ; Spend good amount of time to help me with the digital coupon savings she is so wonderful .I am visiting Dana point ; I travel often and been to so many different grocery stores over the country, so far this is the best experience I ever had! Thumb up!”
