Albertsons on Olive Drive is always clean and well maintained, they have a massive selection of liquor, wine, and spirits. They also have a selection of candy and chocolate that seems to be unmatched in most other Albertsons . The staff is friendly and helpful, although sometimes they can be a little hard to find when you need assistance. Ultimately i left because I couldn't find the type of shrimp I was looking for, and they have a Hot Wheels section which is at the highest price point I've seen on this side of my life, their prices are eBay scalper prices minus shipping to be honest. They really do need to rethink the prices on the hot wheels ,they are ridiculous pricey. ,and we almost left with nothing but my grandson did however come away with this BMW for a couple of bucks more than I wanted to pay but it was ok priced.,anything for the grandbaby.. well almost anything he only got one. Overall, a solid Albertsons. If any manager is reading this you have a $1.25 items for $5 and $5.99 items for $10.99 and or $16.99 ,please change those prices I can't see anybody paying for that. Thank you.. read more

I don't understand why this place has such a low average rating. Upon briefly reading some of the one-star reviews, it is apparent that those are absolutely insufferable people who race to write a one-star review after they were not treated like a God after likely being a nightmare customer. Shame on them! It's a really nice grocery store that's conveniently located, and the prices are generally pretty great, especially if you look for what's on sale. What are people expecting this to be? It is way more pleasant shopping at this Albertsons than it is to shop at a Walmart neighborhood market. The cashiers are nice and there's usually not a long line. My closing rant: if one employee is "mean" to you, ask yourself if your attitude was the problem or contributed. Or, maybe they are having a rough time since they're also human. I have been mean before by the way, not claiming I am better than anyone else. Just not writing a nasty review about it. The optics wouldn't be in my favor. read more

Last year I ordered a cake for my mothers 91st birthday. I have to say it was delicious. Because I had such a great experience, I volunteered to bring desert for my family's Mother's Day celebration. I ordered the same cake, but I have to say I was so disappointed in the quality of the cake. I asked for fresh strawberry filling. I received mostly strawberry glaze with paper thin slivers of strawberry in it. I was so embarrassed to serve this after I had gone on about what a great cake it was going to be. I don't know if this is their new standard now, I hope not. Too bad I did not get what I was expecting and paid for. Buyer beware. As for me I will not ever be ordering a cake from them again. And I will not hesitate in sharing my bad experience with everyone. read more

I went early Fourth of July morning to get my best friend some flowers for her birthday. I had gotten flowers there before and I had asked them to wrap them for me and they did no charge. So I went this morning asked if they could wrap the hydrangeas and the worker paused for a minute looked at my bundle and told me yes for a fee of two dollars. I didn't mind spending the two dollars. I just felt like she was really rude about it so after I checked out and I paid I went to go talk to them and I told her how I was not charged before I was just surprised about it, but I was willing to pay the two dollars and she said we have always charged. I said well I wasn't charged she said we always charge as if i was lying and she just kept arguing with me and keep in mind I feel like I was trying to be friendly in the beginning and she just had this rude demeanor to her so I already knew that she had a grudge against me and I already knew that she was charging me for the flowers so I told her that's fine. I'm paying the two dollars. I'm just letting you know I wasn't charged before then I said you don't need to be rude about it and she said that she wasn't being rude, even though she was! Not going back there for flowers ever again her name was Adriana.even her co worker was looking at her like you're being rude. read more

I'm glad this location went back to being an Albertsons. They tried to convert it to I think an Aldi's a while back and then something else, but that was short lived. Some stores just need to be managed better and left alone. Many of us prefer going to stores such as this one where we can still interact with cashiers, butchers, courtesy clerks and produce people. Not everything has to be a self check out. This location has always offered a good variety of items, always kept clean, good value and the people working have always provided excellent customer service. read more

Bakery at this Albertsons is by far the Best I've experience. In the past 2 months I've ordered 3 cakes for graduations and birthdays. The staff is amazing, they are so helpful patient and caring. I give them an idea of what I'm looking for and they help also with recommendations. The cakes that I've picked up are amazing and delicious, not too sweet. If you looking for a cake and not sure on design, the staff here will help you and get a cake to your expectations and better. This is my go to bakery now. Thank you guys! read more

I love this Albertsons! The pharmacist and staff is the greatest!! I have forwarded the information for the Covid 19 vaccine to all of my peer's because the pharmacist was great, patient and kind. None had any complaints! It is upsetting to hear that JOE has had less than a pleasurable experience. After reviewing his page I personally believe he receives satisfaction providing low ratings wanting to bring businesses down as low as he is in his pathetic life. Joe my suggestion to you would be to BE KIND. read more

My Albertsons of choice... But they are all the same right? This location is always clean. But that's not all. The chicken and zesty wings are consistently good. The butchers block is well stocked and the produce section is always being maintained. The staff is super friendly and I always feel welcomed here. read more

If you are late for your chicken order they will not call you,they will sell it to someone else. I was running late,my own fault but other places will check before they give away your food read more

I must admit I do the bulk of my food shopping at Winco because it is a good deal cheaper than Albertsons. That being said, I am currently the Duchess of Albertson's, so I am obviously here at least once a week. Albertsons has a much better selection of merchandise than does Winco, and it's usually cheaper than Vons, so it's my go-to store to find particular brands or to grab just a couple items when I don't want to stand in Winco's long long lines. There are a number of things that I can't find at Winco and this Albertson's carries them pretty consistently. This Albertsons USED TO have the best chicken wings of any Albertsons in town - until they instituted the serve yourself chicken wing bar and now they tend to be dried out. The deli department of this Albertsons carries my new favorite thing, Blue cheese potato salad with bacon. I could eat it by the large container full. I also buy all my sodas here when they're on sale - sale prices usually beat Winco's prices. I find the produce and meats at this Albertsons to be pretty high quality. What I LOVE about this Albertsons is the pharmacy, and the employees who work in it! They are what keep me coming back here time and time again to pick up medications for my allergies, asthma, my car accidents, and various illnesses and injuries along the way. They provide THE BEST customer service of anywhere I've ever been with my prescriptions. The employees are very friendly and always greet me cheerily. They are always willing to talk with me about my medications, and in fact on several occasions have given me more extensive information than my doctor did. Katarina (I think that's her name) even managed to catch that my doctor sent through a prescription for the wrong medication, alerted me to the problem, and called my doctor's office to get it corrected. I was supposed to be picking up eye drops for a very nasty case of pinkeye (I'm a kindergarten teacher, it was inevitable that I'd pick it up sooner of later) and the prescription that came through was for ear drops. Can you even imagine what would have happened if I'd taken them home and put them in my eyes?!? That woman was a life saver and I'll continue to be a loyal prescription customer at this Albertsons because of it. read more

I would highly advise against seeking any kind of bakery item from this location specifically. The bakery manager Andrea has been miserable on more than one occasion. She's not accommodating with personalized orders and today like many other times she informed me they're out of stock of all items involving cakes for kids (toys, decorations, etc) . Not only that but after being advised by one of her staff members to check online for the type of item I was looking for, they had it exactly and she told me it still was not doable. I will not be returning after the experiences had with her. read more

This is a clean store but I'm not a fan of their high prices. Great deli and bakery. This is my go yo for a quick birthday cake it never fails me and they are really good!! read more

The bakery manager I think her names Andrea was amazing good experience at this bakery thanks Andrea my cake was great

This review is for the Savon pharmacy. Sign for lunch notes a thirty minute lunch yet they always take over an 1 1/2, while customers wait forever. They are slow with prescriptions if they are even able to run a simple insurance request, which they had a very difficult time running a simple blue cross authorization. They sit/stand around looking stupid while you wait I definitely. I for one am transferring elsewhere as i just can't stand their slow service & incompetence. Save yourself a headache and avoid this pharmacy. read more

After getting a cartful of grocery items, I had to go looking for first aid items. After searching for awhile, I discovered them on the aisle on the wall right next to the exit door. While shopping in this aisle, two employees came and stood at the opposite end of the aisle the entire time I was there watching me. I understand the layout of the store is bad, with the pharmacy aisles next to the exit, but the experience made me very uncomfortable. I usually go to the Von's down the road, but I was in the area for banking reasons. I will continue shopping at Von's, as this Albertson's location made me feel unwanted. read more

I love how the manager keeps an eye out for Diet Cherry 7up for me. I also appreciate how gentle the pharmacist is when she vaccinates me. As a working class citizen, I understand that the pharmacist and staff need to have lunch too so I, unlike Entitled Joe from Oxnard, don't mind waiting or going during non-lunch hours. read more

This Albertsons sells salt & vinegar chicken wings and the buffalo flavor ones too! So yummy and sometimes it's on sale for $4.99 per lb.

I know these are stressful times. No reason for poor customer service. My shopping cart that had in the check out line was given to the customer ahead of me that did not have one. I was expected to carry my groceries to my car without a cart. My car was on the other far side of the lot. The clerk non the bagger said a word until I asked. Did not know the employees were rationing carts. All they had to do is ask. The customer ahead of me was younger and had Iess groceries. Shame Shame!! read more

Love this place. Brenden is a bagger here and he is always friendly and helpful. I like to get the clearance deals in the back. Thanks Albertsons read more

Pros: Clean, good produce and meat selection. Cons: A lot of their staff seems to be pretty immature and young. A lot of times when going there I feel like Im interrupting a highschool chat. read more

I am so surprised and disappointed with Albertsons in-store deli on Coffee Road. I've been buying lunch meats from the deli counter there for years. I went to several different stores to find items that I needed. I was most comfortable buying my lunch meats from Albertson's because they've always given me good product. Today I bought 2 pounds of roast beef and 2 pounds of ham and 1 pound of turkey. When I got home I broke them up into half pound packages. When I pulled one of the packages of ham apart it had 4.2 oz. that was badly spoiled around the edges HIDDEN between the rest of the ham. (Yes, I weighed it because it was a good amount) You could tell it was hidden by the way it was sliced and packaged. The stack of ham lifted apart easily exposing the spoiled ham half way between. Beware when you purchase from Albertsons Deli counter. CHECK YOUR PRODUCT BEFORE YOU ACCEPT IT! read more

Bought a carton of egg whites yesterday and, when I went to use them for the first time this morning, they'd been opened AND used before. Is this how a store 'restocks' its merchandise? ugh. I hadn't been impressed before, but definitely won't be returning. read more

Although the store is nice and modern I don't shop here often because the prices are almost always higher than other stores. I used to also go for sale items but since they have gone to the just for u app that requires you to go online to be eligible for the savings I have decided that life is too short to go to that much work to save a few dollars. If you shop other stores you will find equal or better prices and you don't have to put up with that horrible app. and the extra steps that are required. For me it is the worlds biggest convenience store. I'll go for milk or some limes or other item we need quickly but there are a lot of better places to shop if you are doing your grocery shopping and you care about saving money. Winco and Foodsco are close and have much better prices. We get our produce at Sprouts which is farther away but they have good produce so it's worth a little drive. read more

Superior service by floral, deli, and management. The florist literally asked her manager to change her work schedule to accommodate our need to pick up flowers early the next day, and the deli altered an order to meet our needs. Thank you!! read more

I don't even know what to say about this location. Let me start off by saying the employees are horrendous. Yeah, that is harsh, but we are all adults here. I don't think I ask too much of people, you don't even have to chat me up, but don't act like I'm a huge inconvenience to your life. Last I checked, you are employed by Albertsons, taking care of customers is YOUR JOB. I had an issue with the self checkout and made a mistake on something. I figured "no big deal, I'll just stand here until someone comes to help". I sat there and waited for a good five minutes before anyone helped. The snobby girls in floral kept staring at me, surely they could have been some assistance, but no. I went as far to say I needed help, they just said.. "Someone will be right there". Yeah. Okay. The manager comes up and acts like I just asked her for a million dollars. The fact that the woman couldn't even smile or act cheerful made me angry. I am not a people person, I truly despise people, but at least at work I can pretend like I give a shit. Other than that, the meat is good. I continue to go here strictly for the meat. That angus ground beef, mm mm mmmm. read more

I rarely go to Albertsons because they are way overpriced. But I had to go in for one thing so I went there because they're right by my house. They used to have self checkout lanes but now they don't. So what would have taken me like two minutes turn into five minutes read more

This store is ok, but the girls working the meat counter are fantastically rude. I go here because it's around the corner from home, and time after time, awful service at the meat counter when the girls are working. Today, after being ignored for nearly a full minute, I started to ask the girl if there was someone who could help me. She finally came over and I asked for a pound of salmon. She tossed a piece on the scale (after waving a fly off of the scale-gross) and started to print the tag while asking if the 1.4lb piece was ok. When I told her no, that it was too much, she looked annoyed and went to get a knife. Wrapped up another piece for me. I said thank you when she set it on the counter and received no response. Really? If you hate your job so much, maybe go get another one. Really disappointed and annoyed. On the other hand, the 3 guys that I've been helped by are always on the ball- aware, courteous and helpful. read more

If you like waiting 20 minutes for a checker, come here. No express lines open, so all those with 2 or 3 items got stuck behind customers with 50 items. No sense of urgency from the staff and customer service was below average. Pluses are that the store is clean and well stocked. read more

My family and I have ordered tons of cakes from this store. This month alone 3 cakes have come from my family. I had called to order a cake for my Mom's birthday on Friday and the cake would be for Saturday. The baker told never once told me if I didn't come in and pay the cake wouldn't be ready in time. She did ask me if I could come in and pay and I told her I was out of town for work. Last year when I ordered my son's two cakes from them for $85 we paid the day we picked them up. I went in at 8am to pay for them today on Saturday and the baker told me "you were suppose to come in last night". That's when I told her I was out of town and didn't get in until really late, and that's when she told me "we were open until midnight". Then she preceded to tell me the cake wouldn't be ready until 4pm! The party is at 2 pm and the pickup time I ordered was for 1:30. Obviously I was pissed. So I called Vons right there in front of them and told them what happened here and they said they would gladly make my cake for me and I wouldn't have to pay for it until I pick it up. I told the baker to just forget my order that Vons is going to be making the cake. I will be ordering my cakes from Vons from here on out as I lost all respect for the bakery in Albertsons. read more

I don't know why this store has so many bad reviews. I live in the neighborhood across the street and go here biweekly. Every time I go my experience is pleasant. Everyone is so nice. My kids always get offered lollipops at the register. I've never had a bad experience and this location has a Caroline's cart (a cart designed for kids that are immobile and special needs). I love that this grocery store is so friendly and accommodating to parents with special needs. I do not have any kids that require that much help but I have worked with families that do and just having a cart like that to help them means so much. I will continue to shop here read more

I am getting really tired of buying frozen foods and having to return them because they have been frozen and defrosted so much the cannot be eaten. Also have returned bad smelling fish just purchased. Today my husband bought the nastiest looking fresh green beans I have ever seen at a market. I have threatened him that if he EVER shops at Albertsons again we are going to war! Mind you, I do not shop there and all of these items were bought by him. this store is overpriced and poorly ran. There are lots of choices to do grocery shopping in our area so this store can easily be avoided. read more
