Thank you, Porscha at Albertsons, in Chula Vista on Jst. You always make my children's cakes so special and personalized with your awesome skill and talent. My daughter wanted a scream themed birthday party, and they did not disappoint. The cake was her's and everyone's favorite part of the party. We got lots of compliments on it. I highly recommend them for affordable personalized cakes. read more

I love the albertsons app and how easy it is to order pick up. I always thought Albertsons was overpriced but I was wrong and they always have great sales. the store is clean and everything is well organized. the food is always fresh. the only issue I have is the DRIVE UP AND GO PARKING!!!! there has to be a way that the store can regulate who parks there. its frustrating to be in a hurry and not have a parking to pick up my order because all the lazy people decide its ok to take those specific parking spaces. read more

I went to pick up some Chuck Roast on sale A great price. The butch was so nice I forgot his name very attentive, and very polite too This why I shop over here. And produce is good too here. A lot of sales going on. I also shop for my buddy too while I'm here I was a very clean store read more

This review is for the Drive Up Go (DUG) order processing. The policy says they can block money for 5-7 days for 'pending' charges, PENDING FOR WHAT? I place orders, pick the order up, and get an email receipt. The amount on that receipt is ALWAYS the mount I pay. However Albertson holds on to more money for the 7 days. 6 days ago I paid $141 and they are holding on the $36 that will supposedly be cleared in a day or two. I placed another $69 order and they are holding another $9.00. That is $45. 1. They are the only company that holds money this long. 2. Older people on limited income this is a huge amount of money that is needed for medical - gas - utility bills. The policy of withholding money for "Pending" charges for 5-7 days is archaic. This is 2026. We are in the age of technology advances. Everything is bar coded and priced at the time of check out. They know with in minutes what discounts my orders may get, what items may have been refused or changed. It is wrong to wait 5-7 days. read more

It was a couple evenings before New Year's eve and I wanted to use my gift card to buy drinks and junk food. As I walked through the large open entrance, I was caught by surprise. I expected crowds throughout the aisles, long lines at the register, basically people walking all over the place. This was not the case. Albertsons in Chula Vista was calm and quiet. The place was large in size, plenty of aisle room to move carts through, very clean, organized and shelves were stocked. Lots of parking outside and spacious. I had a good and quick shopping experience at Albertsons read more

As I was self checking out my items today CARMELITA rudely was starting at my husband and I making sure I was at the checkout stand right next to her view. (( Mind you there were other people in the self check out isles besides us )). As I was grabbing my items and checking them out and putting them back into my cart she rudely told me " PUT YOUR ITEMS ON THIS COUNTER ! " like already accusing me of stealing. Although everything I grabbed I had already scanned but she did make me feel pretty uncomfortable and made it seem like I was stealing. I have seen many reviews in the past about this store being racist I've always ignored them until Today. I felt stereotyped af. I did call and make a complain on this woman and let the supervisor know that she is very rude and I felt very stereotyped. I didn't even continue with my shopping I simply just left and asked for her name. So hopefully Albertsons does something about her nasty attitude because Iam a frequent shopper and I did feel extremely disrespected. read more

I'm sorry to do this. I hate putting bad reviews on people but on this one I had to I've been coming to this location little over a year and I love shopping there, but the thing that gets me is the cashier Has a rude attitude now I purchased to talk back Coca-Cola and get the two free now you have to be a member or have to have Alberson amp to proceed which I have and not download it to get the promotion now explain to the cashier that I got the Albertson amp. Can you please help me so I can get the promotion for Coca-Cola 12 pack cans she kind of gave me a little attitude. She explained oh you should do it. You should know that I like ma'am I'm sorry this is my And second of all, please I'm a customer. You should get a customer for anything. I don't mind she's doing that to me. I can't ignore it but when I In put the money her hands, when she returned my change, she put the money in the corner receipt on the counter. She did not return my hands. I saw a sign of. Disrespect She should be kind and maybe smile a little And not should get Customer rude attitude, and she seemed like pissed.... read more

I try to give business multiple opportunities to make things right. I have had so many issues with the grocery order pickup. I ask for substitutions or try the chat feature to ask if I can get something else and the shopper doesn't respond. Yes I have called and complained, today was the second time. I have had issues with getting all my bags! I even asked the girl, "are you sure that's it" she reassured me that it was in fact my entire order. I get almost home which isn't too far, thankfully, and they had like 3 or 4 bags of my groceries they forgot. I've got charged for items like cucumbers that were not in my bags when I got home. I'm going to be taking my business elsewhere. Today the customer service rep was very quick to not listen to me and pass me off to someone in the back. Zero cares given. read more

Checkers not putting groceries in carts - again - as if it's not a part of their job. An elderly man with a hunched back had to put his bagged groceries in his cart, without so much as the courtesy of turning the secondary conveyor belt on so he could more easily reach them. And each next customer was left to do the same. It's one thing to not schedule enough courtesy clerks to do it, but that doesn't mean you make your customers do it. This is premium prices for groceries. And this isn't Food for Less. Stop making your customers do your job. read more

Horrible service in the bakery department on November 8, 2025 The cake I ordered sat out for over 2 hours! They said they had no room in the fridge for the cake, they did not attempt to call me. The cake fell apart at the party, a full size cake that cost over 70.00 to waste! I spoke to the store manager that actually giggled at the situation but did not attempt to help! This store is horrible read more

They've got pretty much everything a grocery store should have. Also, I'm in love with the ambrosia salad!

This is strictly for the ugly lady with an ugly personality that works in the meat department . There was a gentleman in a wheelchair being helped. I stood close to him because I wanted the same meat that he was buying and I was looking at it. She had to be told twice to help me from a younger gentleman. She did not want to help me and I don't know what it was do too, but I can only imagine. You were not a nice person lady and you need to get customer service skills read more

Albertsons - This lady is SO rude!! - Grocery Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Outdated no more. This Albertsons is located right past downtown Chula Vista on third Avenue and next to the United States Post Office. You can't miss it. There is plenty of parking with added stations to charge your electric cars. The last week or so, this Albertsons has had a complete makeover from painting, to changing and updating the signage, to a complete overhaul of the interior with newly added refrigeration and spacious isles. It was a bit of a pleasant surprise but definitely needed to go through the store once to see the changes as some items are no longer in the isles they once were. I dont think I've seen so many employees and workers, completing projects and actively busy to get this Albertsons interior and exterior completed. Even throughout this remodel, staff is readily available and offered assistance. I have been making more of an effort to shop here. The only drawback is make sure you download the app or sign- in online to check your account for coupons! I got so excited to see many items on sale this week on the app, I FORGOT to "click" so when I checked out, I was charged regular price!!! Definitely check your account. read more

Just had two amazing examples of customer service in this trip to Albertsons. First a gentleman name Gerardo, who was stocking produce, took the time to go into the back to find an item that wasn't out on shelves, found it at the bottom of a stack of pallets and took the time to retrieve some of these items for me. On the same trip, I left my cell phone in my shopping cart in the cart return area of the parking lot when I came back looking for it a half hour later one of the cart attendants found it and turned it in to the manager appreciate both of these employees For their hard work and integrity. read more

If I can give this store a ZERO I would. I called to ask the deli a simple question and the man said too busy and started to argue about me asking a simple question as do you have made fried chicken? Then passed me to the deli manager Diana and she was even more rude. Starting to have an attitude like I was an inconvenience to her! I wasn't on the phone with her for a minute and her tone of voice was rude. I repeatedly asked to speak to a store manager and she would not do it! The. She finally said yes and put me on hold and I'm pretty sure she didn't transfer me. I wasn't on hold for almost 10 mins and had to call back. Talked to Armando the manager. He seemed nice but said he'll talk to them but working in customer service myself I would have made sure to help this customer with what ever needs to make sure they are happy. Especially when I said I will be contacting their corporate office! I use to love this Albertsons but never again will I shop there! I ended up at sprouts across the street and great customer service! read more

I want to make a suggestion for the bakery department to take payments over the phone for orders. I have a lot of family members coming in from out of town and the last thing I want to do is go by the bakery and pay for my cake in person and then go back and pick it up. The person taking my order was very nice and professional. read more

Every since Albertsons changed to the Vons way of doing business the quality of food has been very poor. The food is old, spoiled, and molded. I purchased some kings Hawaiian rolls yesterday Saturday August 5, 2023. I opened them to have one for breakfast and they are molded! read more

Never thought I'd have to write a review about Albertsons but just wanted to say flower department needs new employees with better attitudes. They don't do much but be hostile and passive aggressive when it comes to doing their job. Specifically- never got her name but she's got long, dark hair- if customer service isn't her thing... a job where customers don't have to talk to her might be more fitting. Just my two cents. She very clearly expresses herself through her work- got a half assed bouquet of flowers w purposely messed up wrapping because I asked her to readjust the arrangement. read more

I've been to this Albertsons for about 10 yrs now! I've seen employees coming and going however there is this well mannered young man his name is Leonardo he's always so attentive polite and extremely helpful! I really hope all his hard work don't go unnoticed! Because I've been very tempted to offer him a job in another place if his efforts are not appreciated! he's still there so hopefully thats not the case!!! The staff overall is awesome read more

I've been meaning to write this review. It's directed solely at Starbucks My daughter has ebt and goes in there occasionally to get coffee, well, the lady at counter is so rude to them!!!! As soon as she sees them she asks, "are your drinks gonna be complicated?" Or will say, "just to let you know I have like 10yr sera ahead of yours" yet will proceed to continue helping other customers and DOES NOT tell them the same things. I been meaning to go in and speak with her but I'll start here and hope issue is addressed with her. My daughters are paying customers and should not be discriminated against for paying with ebt. It's not coming out of her pocket that I know of so why give them attitude. Albertsons will still get paid according for the drinks and if that's the case Olof it being an issue then maybe they should stop offering the ability to pay with ebt. I don't know the ladies name but I'm sure this location has limited number so staff and can hopefully figure out who it is. They tend to go in mid mornings or early morning and all I know is she's an older lady, as in not a teen or lady in 20s read more

One of the best clean, food, and good Customer service store! The Store manager and Assistant manager are so kind and such hard workers!

I had to get a couple things. I also had a bouquet made for my mom for Mother's Day. It came out really nice super professional and really well put together also very impressed with how fresh the produce was great customer service highly recommend the store read more

Employees are very helpful at this location, especially when I'm not able to find what I need. It's kept very clean and orderly.

***Review for Bakery*** I've always bought cakes from Albertsons bakery. They're affordable and delicious. They even personalize cakes. I showed a picture of what I wanted. Mind you, they do not do fondant work but that's ok with me because I don't like the taste. The look is great but I prefer whipped or butter cream. I bought a number cupcake cake of 36 and it came with a free smash cake. Highly recommended for affordable personalized cakes. read more

My milk was curdled and rotted. It hadn't expired but I imagine they didn't stock it in the refrigerator right away and was sitting out for hours for this to happen. I threw up afterwards. Completely unacceptable and disgusting. This happened a couple months ago. read more

Came in looking for a bus pass, they no longer sell bus passes just an FYI for anyone else relying on on public transportation. I was greeted by an employee as she was going on break which was nice but all the other employees saw me standing at the front looking confused (my usual choice of looks) and no one asked if I needed help with anything. Maybe it's just a normal occurrence to have confused looking people hanging out in the front of the stores. read more

Not the friendliest crew but it's convenient for a big variety of items. They have some good deals but produce can be pricey, although it's fresh. read more

This is mainly for their bakery review. I used to come here all the time for cakes but lately they have been decorating my cakes incorrectly which is really stressful when I'm picking up a cake the morning of my daughters birthdays. Safe to say I will never use Albertsons again for bday cakes read more

Thank you to Porsha for doing such an excellent job on Caroline's birthday cake. From the initial meeting in telling her what I wanted; she made sure I was going to get the cake I wanted for her. She did an excellent job! She was so kind to us and really listened to our needs! Thank you again! I hope someone sees this review and recognizes your hard work! read more

DO NOT BUT GIFT CARDS FROM ALBERTSONS! I purchased a Sephora card for a gift and was told by the giftee that there was no money on it. Store said that it's not their fault and they are "investigating" but have no news (after a month). I will dispute it with my bank but what a hassle! read more

Let me start by saying I've been shopping at this store since it opened and I love the staff. This review is specifically for the Starbucks at this location. I recently bought 2 cups from another location in La Jolla. I ended up not needing the cups for a friend. I took my receipt and went to this location to return. I asked a cashier I'm familiar with about returning and she referred me to a Manager. I wasn't familiar with this manager and he told me I needed to return to the location where I purchased the cups. I pointed out the store is in La Jolla and that i shop at this location all the time. After I complained, he confirmed with someone in the back and approved this one time return. He lead me to the Starbucks to do the return himself. When he prepared to do the return, the Starbucks employee pointed out the manager of Starbucks doesn't allow this. He confirmed it was approved. Although the return produced cash, they insisted I had to put the cash on a Starbucks card which made zero sense. During the awkward transaction, I pointed out the cups would sell easily and the manager said they have to send returned cups back and can't resell. The Starbucks employee then put the cups in a back cabinet. Later that evening, my friend called me and asked about the cups. I returned to the store the next day and the same Starbucks employee was working as well as the cashier who directed me to the manager. I asked the employee at Starbucks (that put the cups in a back cabinet the night before) if I could repurchase the cups. I was shocked by her response, "if they're out there." Wow, I thought they had to send them back! Needless to say, both cups was gone. I confirmed with another employee they were sold earlier. While this is an awesome store to shop at, skip the Starbucks. There are plenty locations nearby with better service and a lot less attitude. read more

My sister suggested specifically this Albertsons for a 'roll toilet paper' cake. Called the bakery, they sound really excited to work there (sarcasm). Augie I guess who told us they could do it and was the person that answered and had told me the cake was ready... walked in and it wasn't, no one knew where it was as if it walked away... they lost the order and never started on the lady in front of me's cake smh... had to keep giving my own pointers to add to the cake to look better then how they gave it to me ... it's funny, they were a mess and it's better to laugh at a situation, learn from experience, walk away and never look bad... I don't think this cake looks like a toilet paper ... then again, it's Albertsons... 3 stars for effort... read more

Albertsons - Toilet paper cake ‍ - Grocery Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Dirty isles. No cashiers. Rude employees when u can finally find someone. All around horrible experience. As a resident of Chula Vista this Albertsons has been steadily declining for years. With such great competition just a few feet away I can't see them staying in business any longer. Stay away at all costs. High prices, no customer service; dirty. read more

This Albertsons is stocked better than others I've been to, but the employees can be extremely mean. I've been coming here almost weekly for the past 8 months, and more times than not, the employees are rude, smart alecky, and short tempered when I've had questions, I was confused about a sale or I needed to checkout, which interrupted their personal conversation with a coworker. read more

Great store with great selections ! Plenty of parking. Staff is generally friendly. Store is well lit, with ease of finding. Some selections not present as in others stores, but they make up for it in variety of options. read more

So grateful for this store and their employees. Everything I needed was in stock & thankfully the store limited customers to items so other people can have a chance to buy soap, paper towels, toilet paper etc. They even went to extra measures by having two people stand outside at each entrance making sure customers wouldn't come in again to hoard water and etc. Hoping we can get through these tough times. Thankful for the work these employees are doing because they too are also sacrificing being out here getting exposed easily. Be safe everyone. Don't be greedy. Wash your hands. read more

Let it be known that my friend and I genuinely love taking our walks to shop at Albertson's on 3rd and J in Chula Vista. Truly. Above all, we enjoy the camaraderie with familiar employees which we have grown fond of during the morning hours. However, I do have a bit of constructive criticism meant to benefit your locale. We, like other multiculturally loyal customers couldn't help but be saddened when we realized that such a familiar festive day as Cinco de Mayo was not observed by your store. I was not envisioning tequila shots but special relevant sales did cross and pique my mind. What about Father's Day? Clearly, the blatant nonrecognition of this special day can, whether unconsciously and/or subconsciously, bum people out. You have it within your collective power to bring happiness and joy to many people to enliven an otherwise mundane routine. Seize the opportunity in this precarious time and age to embrace our global interconnectedness through your special sales events. Go Albertson's! Special kudos to Patty, Steve, Angie, Mary and the deli crew. Sincerely With Love, Your Neighborhood Senior Citizen Watchdog(s) read more
