“I’m so happy. The employees are so kind, friendly, and helpful. I’ve been craving turon and other snacks from my childhood and it’s so good to have them all in one shop. They even have walis ting-ting, and walis tambo! But the prized turons were my favorite! How did they get the bananas so damn jammy and good? Will come back again!”
“Fits the TJ's model of having an aggressively small and cramped parking lot, otherwise it's a great location. The parking lot was recently made to be one-way, which has greatly increased the usability of the lot. Tough at times to exit the lot onto Arroyo due to traffic.”
“Trader Joe’s is the best grocery store, hands down. Everything is so unique, affordable, and actually good quality. You can always find fun new items along with all your staples, and somehow everything just hits. This specific location is especially clean, and everyone is so friendly, which makes the whole experience even better. It’s one of those places you go in for a few things and leave with a cart full, in the best way.”
“I must admit I love TJ’s - I wish they had a all natural i e cream similar to Turkey Hill black Band around he perimeter of the lid- I can now only find this at fresh market . So my only suggestion is to create the product it’s about 6.50 for a half gallon or whatever that size is. Thank you”
“My mom and brother shop there every Saturday. All the employees our amazing. My mom was sick early in the year. She was diagnosed with cancer. I live in vegas and came down. My mom was excited to be able to shop there today. Alex bought her flowers and let her ring the bell 🔔 it meant the whole world to our family. Every week my brother shops there they always ask how my mom is doing. Really appreciate them for there thoughtfulness!! Awesome employees!”
“So many specialty items! From all over the world. And the staff are all lovely, maybe especially the folks at the deli, who work swiftly and slice the meat perfectly thin. Very happy to have stumbled upon this place.”
“The marinated chicken wings are some of the best I have ever gotten. Definitely recommend this place for marinated chicken wings. The rest of the market offers a good variety of Armenia, Russian and middle eastern food items but the prices are little on the pricey side compared to other similar markets. Over if you need a specialty food item local to this area it’s a good place.”
“The basturma is fabulous and the service is good. Not much else to say. We worry about who will take over the business, quality, and tradition/s once Garo and his wife retire.”
“First time going there. I was really surprised. The prices were pretty reasonable. The quality of the foods was great. The store was really clean and shelves were well stocked. I'm definitely going back.”
“The Management team from Avison Young are complete professionals. Kevin Wong and Yu go out of their way to make their tenants feel appreciated and special. They host events such as book and gift fairs that allow their busy tenants time to do holiday shopping without the stress of having to go to a mall. One could do no better than to have this address as their corporate home.”
“Out of stock of too many common Center aisle and refrigerated dairy items in October on a Sunday afternoon in a very busy store. Usually well-stocked but not this trip. Good selection of Wonderful pistachios however.”
“I was craving some Turkish delights candy, and found this place on Yelp and bookmarked it. Since I was in Pasadena running errands, I decided to make a stop by here. The shop is small, but charming! Brightly lit with lots of yummy products lined up on the walls and throughout the shop: Dried fruits, roasted nuts, seasonings, buckets of nuts and what I call Turkish delights, but it's called Mediterranean Delights here. I was hoping for the pretty, extravagant ones I saw on the Yelp pictures, but they only had some pre packaged ones in bins. I like that they're in a sealed wrap so they last longer. There are a lot of packaged snack items that would make great gifts. Since I am nuts for nuts, I had to give these roasted treats behind the counter a try. The proprietor there was super friendly and let me try some pistachios before I bought them. There were so many flavor options I had trouble narrowing down what I wanted. I settled on lemon pistachios and sesame peanuts in addition to a few of the Mediterranean delights. The nuts are flavorful and tasted fresh and crunchy. The candies were pretty good also. All the loose items are sold by the pound and prices are pretty reasonable. Highly recommend this shop if you're looking for some fun flavored snacks!”
“I highly recommend this business to any family or a friend. They have a wonderful business. Lewis is very friendly. I highly appreciate his generosity and kindness. The store is very clean and organized. They have a great selection of wonderful drinks and beverages. I highly recommend this business to any family or friend.”
“Went there to get pollo asado to grill. Couldn't have asked for a better marinated chicken. The staff was very friendly, the market was clean, and the prices were great. I highly recommend this place. Thank you.”
“GREAT LOCAL GROCERIES! Zack works here and he has great customer skills; he goes above and beyond for the local community. This place is my go to for fresh produce and some localized food you can’t find anywhere else!”
“It is a good stop and with front row parking. A straight forward transaction. A vast selection of spirits to start up a party in no time. If I am around the corner vising this is one of my pit stops to grab everything for the party. Prices? Who cares it is convenient. Cashier has Plexiglas all around the counter. Wear a mask to enter is encouraged.”
“Thank you to the owner, Dipak, at Latin American Market for participating in our community project to reduce underage drinking! Some of our students are very thankful as well, this is our student Diana: "Thank you to the store owner of Latin American Market for letting Project Sticker Shock inform minors and adults that under age drinking is bad.Thank You, for letting Project Sticker Shock spread a message about under age drinking. "”
“I used to come here when it was owned by an old couple. Everything was so outdated back then but they were very nice to me when I stopped by. I was told they sold the store and the store is now being remodeled. The store is so much bigger and is completely transformed into more modern look. The taco shop is still there thank god! They have tasty soups here so it’s always a plus! This store has the best price on beers & liquor in town and have a great selection.”

“Highly recommend! The prices were reasonable, which is incredible for a convenience store. The service was friendly and helpful too. She even noticed one of the bananas I chose was bad and replaced it. Small store with alot of different snacks and drinks.”
“Hi , i have driven by alot , in last few years , but never stopped by , til i finally did on wedsnesday. I wanted some pork chops. They have great prices !!! Will definitely be going back. I did have a little incident ( but come to find out ) i was wrong !!! So went today to apoligize to the worker at the register. Ps. it was reg. an item i thought i was charged for , but wasn't in the bag. Anyway , ended up being the same price as the Guatamalen coffee i had bought , both were 8.00 !!! So i got confused , when i saw that , becuz it does not spell out , certain items on the receipt. But i went to apologize to her and gave her little giftcard i had ( 2 ) :) when she first saw me again , i knew she was annoyed thinking i was there to complain , but i told her , no , wanted to apoligize in person. :) Also this bakery is directly across the street , has lots of mexican pastries , cookies , conchas , few sandwiches and Cafe de Olla too”
“Tried this local meat market for the first time yesterday and the carne asada and chicken with their marinade is so tasty. I am sometimes hesitant in purchasing marinated meat from places but this place, you can tell the meat and chicken were fresh and he marinated the chicken right then and there. And this place is $4 cheaper on carne asada than our local markets. Good customer service too. This will be my new place for meat and chicken.”
“What a cute little shop of great eats, snacks, and sundry! Funny, it was my 1st time encountering the word "sundry". I had to look it up and get its meaning... sundry means "many things of different kinds". Makes sense as I see a variety of miscellaneous items in the shop such as ramen noodles, over the counter medicines, greeting cards, etc.Tower Snacks & Sundry is located at the bottom floor of the Pasadena Towers. It was recommended to me by my coworker who is a regular customer. Thank you my friend! The owner is a very nice and kind lady. She runs the shop on her own. Whenever I am here with other customers, she keeps up with the pace of service quite well. Thank you!I come to find out that the warm and beautiful layout and display of the menu was the wonderful work of my friend who happens to be the same person who recommended this great place. He is very kind and giving of his time and efforts in making a difference. Thank you my friend for making it easy for us to order! I know the owner appreciates your generosity of your time and efforts and wonderful creative art. I know I do.Let's talk about the great eats... you can get breakfast sandwiches or burritos (my favorite has potatoes in it and ask for salsa to be added without an additional charge... thanks to my friend for his good tip), bagels, oatmeal, french toast (this one is yummy!), etc. Lunch offers salads such as Chicken Caesar, Chef, or Oriental, sandwiches like roast beef, pastrami, club with turkey and bacon (my favorite... so big and tasty!), ham egg & cheese (love it!), tuna melt (surprisingly very good!), grilled chicken wrap (my least preferred item, but you may like it), and more. As for beverages, there are coffee, tea, and smoothies. I love the Three Berry smoothie! I get it every time. I usually get the smaller size. They do have the larger size... just ask for it. The Strawberry & Banana and Mango smoothies could be better... they need more fruit flavors in them IMHO. You can still try them... they may suit your taste buds better.I have become a regular customer since Day 1. I have tried almost all the breastfast and lunch items. There are a few items I have yet to try... I will eventually get to them... you know I will LOL. Everything I have tried have been delicious and tasty. Portions are good. Although I wish the breakfast sandwich could be bigger. Credit card service charge of $0.75 will apply if you spend under $10.00. Cash is best unless you're spending more than $10.00 like myself. There are tables and chairs outside for dining.I love supporting local businesses so I will continue to support Tower Snacks & Sundry when I'm in the Pasadena area. By the way, they are open on weekdays only... closed on the weekends. If you're in the neighborhood, drop on by and check them out. They would love to see you and welcome your patronage. I'll see you here! Happy Snack'ing & Sundry'ing!!!”
“Great grocery store! The products are always fresh, and the prices are very reasonable. They have a good variety of items, and the quality is excellent for the price. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to!”
“The best Vons that I ever seen in southern California, we need to call it city of VONS, you have to see to believe it. Food section makes everyone hungry footlong sandwich, Chinese cuisine, all types of salad and chicken dishes prepared to perfection. With friendly and helpful.”
“Love the quality control of meat. Shop owner has high quality control and inventory. Takes special order for high end caviars sold by .5-1 lbs can or 2 lbs packs. Her ready made chikufta, Khash (traditional bone broth soup) and other other Mediterranean marinated hand made sausages are the best”
“Great place to stop in and grab a plate of guisados, a burrito, torta, etc. for lunch. It's ready in a pinch, fresh, and affordable. Their meat quail lito has also been good whenever we bbq. We like their chorizo and is one of the few spots we can buy it if our chorizo hook-up hasn't been around. Service is always friendly and they have lots of Latin groceries in store.”
“Highest quality water I've had. The alkaline tastes amazing. All the workers are very friendly. They do a great job cleaning the bottles and serving the water. It's a great looking store, too.”
“A very classical Smart & Final store with lots of wholesale sized goods at competitive prices. The fresh food and veg department is larger and somewhat more plentiful than one expects in a smaller Smart & Final store.”
“I came in to buy some vegetables which they had a nice selection and at reasonable prices. The only issue I had were the pricey canned goods which are way more than I usually pay at other supermarkets.”
The Cincinnati-based supermarket giant will open about 110 new stores in fast-growing markets by 2029 and introduce three updated store formats, executives told investors Oct. 20 at the company’s Investor Update in New York. Kroger already runs about 2,700 stores in 35 states. The formats come in three sizes, a bit like small, medium and large, matched to each market. Mary Ellen Adcock, Kroger’s executive vice president and chief merchant and marketing officer, walked through the lineup.
Walmart shoppers want a head start on the holidays, and money explains a lot of it. Some 44% of respondents call affording the holidays their top stressor, and 61% say holiday costs shape their shopping mood. Asked what would make the season easier, 70% picked lower prices and 57% picked more deals and promotions. Convenience ranks lower: 30% want one-stop shopping across categories, and 20% want faster delivery.
Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
Trader Joe's keeps adding stores, and shoppers keep showing up. The California grocer has marked nine more locations as "opening soon," pushing its expansion into new corners of the country. The grocer also took first place in the American Customer Satisfaction Index's 2026 supermarket rankings. It has held a spot near the top of that list for years.
Target is rolling out its most ambitious store overhaul in more than ten years, with plans to remodel over 130 locations and open 30 new stores across the country this year. The retailer is also putting money into supply chain technology upgrades to keep pace with how shoppers buy today.
