“Nice spot during the week because it’s not crowded. Pizza is great. Lots of awesome choices in the store for snacks. Great parking. They did have a Bee issue in the dining outside the pizza spot.”
“Everything in that story is so tasty, you really can't go wrong. The prices are also less than the grocery store, like chicken for example. I have a weak spot for their pre-made salads. They are the classic "Big Salid" with everything included. When you're tired and want to graze, this is an excellent choice with everything close to the source and you get alot for $5”
“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.”
“Update: Went on Sunday and had the best roasted corn I ever had. So sweet didn't need any butter, salt or nothing! Must try!
Love this place. My girl had the salad and I had the sub sandwhich”
“By far, this is my favorite TJ around, I usually go for the flowers and always find what I want, it has everything I need
People are great, very helpful too.
Thank you”
“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.”
“A bit smaller footprint store than others I've been to, but well stocked and well staffed. Only ding on the place is that the parking lot is busy AF as the store draws a crowd + the other businesses there are thriving.”
“I truly appreciate this establishment. The owners are wonderful individuals who are diligently working to make this place a success. The staff is excellent, and the food is delicious.”
“Stater Brother Ladera Ranch CA is my best favorite grocery store. The fruit slices are cut fresh daily. The fruit cutters Gilma and Thomas, are the best! Always have positive attitude and accommodating. Keep up the great works ??”
“Excellent variety of healthful foods, snacks, fresh fruits and vegetables, and supplements. Friendly staff, clean store, plentiful parking. Prices are moderate to high, not unusual for a specialty store such as this.”
“Very nice full service store. The in-store staff are all very friendly and helpful. This usually indicates good management, so that is usually a positive step towards developing and maintaining a good workforce culture!
Vons gas station is also well attended and the staff working there are extremely helpful and friendly. I needed help with a non-cooperative pump ⛽ and was becoming frustrated, but the gas station attendant who helped me responded immediately, was super chill about everything, nice, patient, and knew exactly what to do for the fix.
Just all around great experiences twice shopping at this Vons store. Thank you!”
“I recently visited the Stater Bros. market in Lake Forest, and I was thoroughly impressed by their exceptional selection and presentation. The fresh meats section was particularly outstanding, offering a wide variety of cuts that are perfect for any cooking needs. The meat is always fresh and well-priced, making it my go-to spot for all my grilling essentials.
Additionally, the store itself is a delight to shop in. The aisles are beautifully arranged and impeccably clean, creating a welcoming shopping environment. The staff is friendly and helpful, always ready to assist and answer any questions.
Overall, Stater Bros. in Lake Forest is a fantastic grocery store that combines quality, variety, and excellent customer service. Highly recommended for anyone looking for top-notch groceries in a pleasant setting.”
“Shout out to Myra the manager at this location for her promptness and customer service.
There were other managers walking around the store that literally made eye contact with me but would not even come up to me and inquire about why I was standing there.
Store location needs to recognize her attributes and skills when it comes to people.
Thank you, Myra for being the only one to come up and help me!”
“I honestly don't know what I'd do without this market. I frequent it often because the prices are so much lower than the other supermarkets. The produce is always fresh and the staff is so friendly that they remember me as one of their regulars. The whole experience gives it a great ambiance.”
“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.”

“Spencer's Mart is truly a gem in Lake Forest! They consistently offer the freshest vegetables and go above and beyond to meet their customers' needs. When we mentioned that my son has a gluten allergy and asked if they could stock gluten-free rotis or other items, they not only listened but took the time to research and fulfill our request. This level of care and dedication is rare to find in other stores. Most places wouldn’t even consider trying, but Spencer's Mart made it happen. Their commitment to customer satisfaction is unmatched, and their exceptional service makes them stand out. Despite being a small store, they carry a wide variety of products. If you can’t find something, just ask, and they’ll make sure to get it for you. It’s this personal touch and reliability that make Spencer's Mart so special to us.”
“Store is beautifully maintained and you could eat off the floors it's so clean. Prices on high side. Their electronic coupons are hit and miss and if they don't work first time good luck. I really prefer Smart and Final.”
“I visited Smart & Final at 26911 Trabuco Rd, Mission Viejo on Aug 7, 2023 for the first time. I had a great experience with the store cashier Tiffany. She is kind, helpful and very knowledgeable. That made me wanted to go back to the store again. The store itself is very clean, great prices and nice. Will visit again for sure.”
“Albertsons in Ladera Ranch is my go-to when I need a quick snack run or last-minute dinner ingredients and the staff always greets me with a smile, making my shopping trip a little less of a chore!”
“The shop is also at Tom's farms, along with 3 or 4 other shops.The fudge in the shop is unusual usual and very nice. The different varieties that you can't find everywhere really make it special. Enjoyed the experience.”
“My favorite grocery store in the area! They have lots of fun, made-in-house items that you can’t really find other places. The prices are good and the store is spacious. Great produce and meat departments.”
“I’m not saying this in the hopes of getting free samples!
I’m saying this because Niki reminds me of my midwestern aunties, who would soil me rotten, and everyone else who mattered every morning at the breakfast table at 6 am sharp.
I don’t know where Niki comes from, but she always gives me that country's Western hospitality.
I hope you appreciate her like I do!
Thanks”
“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!”
“This is our closest market and we go here on a wekly basis. The staff is helpful and friendly, the butcher department includes a few very well informed persons who seem to have the experience required to help with recipes and cooking methods.”
“So here is the deal. I am half afraid to share this because this place is a gem ?! I can buy wonder marinated meats.. ceviche.. dairy.. chicharron.. and a bunch of produce and hit only $80. Sometimes $70 and sometimes $50. They have a smoothie bar that’s probably the best one around…. As the produce is right there, The fresh produce looks better and is ripe and great looking and better than Bristol farms or whole paycheck. It’s a fast shopping store with a fresh hot food to go as well - and it’s aaaahmazing!! do not expect big grocery carts here. It’s fresh ripe food that you eat this week or in the next few days. I truly love this shop as it’s perfect for me by myself and even better when there were more of us. Just for reference they had beautifully RIPE RED SWEET SMELLING strawberries for under $3 a pack, like RIPE RED strawberries- not those white topped unripe hard bland berries like at a regular store. Really. Even the butcher shop is really really awesome. It is not the same as a big grocery store chain but everything has been fantastic. I don’t speak Spanish but every single person there has been great and it’s nice to shop in a place without having to listen to the obnoxious thinly veiled racism from other customers directed at others. Bravo to this store. You could in fact get all your weekly groceries here just fine. I mostly do - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I always love going in the aisle where they have household things and things to give as gifts. They always have something different and something I can use to give a random gift to someone. I always love their candle selection and things you didn't think you needed for the house.”
“I love to shop for my open house food here!! Always so presentable and fresh. The staff are nice and helpful. I left my wallet in one of the carts and a staff member was the one to return it to the lost and found. I really appreciated the integrity of the people they employ. Thanks for being my go to grocery store.”
“Store manager En-Tan is easily the most helpful, dedicated store manager I’ve ever come across. He goes above and beyond to help customers and his staff. What a lovely human being. Amazon is very lucky to have him running this store.”
“This is the best store in town. The prices are excellent and so is the selection. The customer service is also good. I feel really bad about my dog crapping in here more than once, so he doesn't get to go shopping with me anymore. Sorry, again.”
