“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!”

“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.”

“First off these aren't tacos... these are mini burritos 🌯. They definitely don't skimp on the meat here. The tacos are some of the best I've ever had. The seasoning is on point!!! Any of the tacos are a safe bet. Seriously you need to go there and try the tacos!

Service was 5 out of 5 too

The meat counter and the store have a wide variety too. The store was very clean too”

“Gelson‘s is a little pricier than some of the other markets in the area. The secret that we found is to use the upside app. Gelson‘s participates with the upside app and you can actually get good rewards for using it.”

“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.”

Great selection, great service, and great history. Come check it out.”

“3/13/2026
Picked up groceries at Pavilions today in Mission Viejo. The store is always clean and staff are professional and helpful. They had most of the items on the list and stock Rosie's organic chicken breast which is terrific. The produce is fresh and the ambiance in the store is generally calm and positive.
Highly recommended

We shop here regularly and the store is clean, well stocked and the staff are always friendly. They always have fresh items and ensure that expiration dates are checked and old stock removed. The deli area also offers a vast variety of options. The flower section is also well stocked and has a good selection. This is our go-to store for many products. Highly recommended.”

“Stater Bros. Lader Ranch is clean, has adequate pricing, is always stocked, and has good employees. The only nitpicking I can think of is that they need a self-checkout line. They seem to always have more people waiting in line then their manned checkout lines can handle efficiently but the majority of clients have 1-5 items each that can easily be paid via self-checkout.”

“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.”

“I was stuck on what to get for lunch lately and happened upon the deli at Albertsons where I found a service that I never knew even existed, custom sandwiches!!

So I ask for an Italian and In return I get to learn about the different slices of meats, like Dietz & Watson which the worker Josh told me about.

I am so impressed at the care these workers put in to their daily jobs, and was so impressed with the deli - especially Josh with his robust knowledge of different kinds of meats and pairings to try on sandwiches.

Great experience and will come again”

“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.”

“Stater Street Bros

Good afternoon,

I am reaching out after my experience shopping at store #143 on 7/15/26 around 1:00pm PST to purchase groceries. My time shopping at the store went really well, until it didn’t. I was assisted by two guys (I can’t remember their names but STELLAR SERVICE was provided) from the fresh meat/seafood department that were very knowledgeable regarding product availability and potential substitutes to accommodate for product that wasn’t carried in the store (I’d been looking to purchase turkey wings).
It wasn’t until I was at the register being checked out when my experience began to go downhill. When I arrived at the register, I was not greeted by the cashier Jon nor acknowledged with eye contact upon my arrival to the lane. I then said, “hi, how are you?” to confirm I’d AT LEAST addressed him knowing how hard the customer service team works to serve customers and knowing how a simple ‘hello’ can go a long way. I then asked, “Can I input my phone number for the rewards?” to which he responded by pointing at the pay-screen. I typed in my phone number and I noticed it said “invalid”. However, before getting to the register, I’d already pulled up my in-store barcode to scan on my phone just in case. And asked Jon if he could scan the code instead to which he stopped me mid sentence and refused by saying, “ohh no, I’ll enter another code!”
Not only was I appalled by the response, but shocked that instead of being heard during the entirety of this interaction. I was GROSSLY ignored and shutdown from having a voice when I’d intentionally chose this store to meet my grocery needs. If a customer presents the membership barcode that explicitly states “scan in store” below it, what is the protocol?
In addition to him not mentioning the “other code” he would use, I obliged in the moment as there were customers behind me and I didn’t want to cause any further delay. Knowing that I’d take initiative and would later review my receipt for reference. When I looked at my receipt, it was no surprise that no ‘discount’ or ‘code’ was applied which has contributed to further frustration regarding this incident. I look forward to hearing back regarding this matter in hopes that actions will be taken to prevent other customers from having to experience this behavior during their visit. As well as management taking steps to make things right regarding my experience at this store.

UPDATE:
A store manager reached out to me after this post and was SUPER helpful and attentive to my feedback. I really appreciate how understanding Cynthia was. And IMMEDIATELY seen a positive change in the customer service interactions with the team at the store level.”

“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.”

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 a little dirty. There's a putrid stench coming from the back where the meat department is. It diffinately has a third world charm. Great prices on produce, baked goods, meat and fish. It's a smaller store, so they wont have everything you'd see at a typical Americal grocery store, but very good for specialty items. If you cook and love ethnic food, are an immigrant or are well traveled/cultured, you'll love it.”

“I can always find bargains in this market. They carry some name brands and off brands of interesting things one might want to try. Produce has always been a favorite too. Don't be afraid of the meat department either, I've never experienced a bad product here. I'll be a frequent shopper here.”
