After all the promotions we had heard and seen about this new chain of grocery stores coming to the west coast, we decided to check it out for ourselves. The staff at this location were very friendly and helpful, and the store was clean and very well organized. We found everything we were looking for. The check out was simple, except for the fact that we forgot to bring our own bags. But no worries, $0.10/ paper bag wasn't a big deal. Overall, I'm very pleased with his new grocery store. The total we spent was a lot less than I anticipated. We will definitely be coming back to do our shopping here in the future. read more

Erika, the cashier that just helped me is extremely rude and condescending. I will never shop at this location again. This one is local to my work, which is why I come here, but I'll just stick to my local one. I don't know why Aldi thinks it is ok to keep rude people. read more

The grocery is clean and organize. The only problem is, they don't enforce a strict compliance with wearing a mask. A couple was there with no masks and I overheard them complaining of double masking. read more

I like their stuff. Yes it's generic, but who cares! You do have to put a quarter in to use the cart but you get it back if you return the cart. You do have to pay for bags .15 cents a bag but that doesn't bother me at all because I can use my own bags. I haven't bought a single item that I thought was bad or worse than national brand. Everything has been great! As far as the middle isle containing random items? That's their "finds" section, which is a special deal for that week.. This place is one of my new favorites! I love that they have a huge variety of organic items for purchase! I will be coming back. read more

Idk about this store some of the fruit was bad. I'm yet to taste their food, as of now I wouldn't come back some how the produce remind me of the 99 cents store read more

Low prices but not really a variety The few known brand items but are not cheaper than anywhere else read more

Not a very good shopping experience for being new it seamed yucky and cheap (not in a good way) pay to use a cart pay for bags bag it yourself it made me feel like I was is a food bank kinda felt embarrassed to be there like they should have a "BLUE LIGHT SPECIAL " produce was fair at best All off brands just plain weird BUT ON A GOOD NOTE the employees were nice I'm sticking to my Staters and am proud to say so!!!! If I were you I would do the same! read more

Umm is it normal for the cashier to just throw your stuff in the cart? She literally threw the milk gallon on all our stuff so it fell to its side, dented the milk. All of our produce was falling out of the bags because the bags broke after her throwing everything. Like wtf? Do you not have common sense? read more

I'm loving this store. Their own brand of products have been pretty good quality so far. Very comprable to the name brands. The store is very clean and well organized. The selection of various products isn't great due to the size of the store. I don't think I could do all of my shopping here on a regular basis. However , the prices are so great that I will gladly do some shopping here and make up the rest at another store. I know some people don't like the aisle of special purchase products. I happen to enjoy them. My understanding is that they will change every couple of weeks with a new variety of special purchases. I picked up some great bathroom organizers in that section the other day for about half the price I would have paid at a home store. read more

Usually love Aldi stores but this one was just okay. I bought vegan muffins and once I got to the car I noticed they had mold on them... Which was gross. They didn't have too much too much of a veggie and fruit section but other than that, everything else was fine. The moldy muffins was a huge downer though, especially because I was excited to try them. read more

Ok it's small, but it's big enough for my tastes! I love the quality & the prices. The seasonal items are fun but get them while you can because there is a good chance they will not be available next time. Now if we can only get Aldi to move into the high desert. read more

First visit today and let me say that I was very, very impressed! Fresh veggies that look great and amazingly priced! Organic options were amazing and so cheap! Lots of items and everything is very affordable. A lot of GF options as well! Such a plus.... I will be going back! Reason for only giving 4 stars is the fact that there was only 1 checkout open... And a long line! Which kinda sucked and the system they have for bagging your groceries is not cool! I don't mind bagging my own stuff, in fact I prefer it since I'm OCD about things but the system sucks! You check out, they toss everything back into the cart and you have to go to a folding table to re bag it! They literally toss it too... No system at all.... I did not like that especially when your buying $160 worth of groceries... Took me forever to bag my stuff... On top of that my bananas were smashed... Ughhhh Other then that I really did love the place and it's super affordable. *Don't forget to bring your own bags or be prepared to buy some. read more

I like the store but this is not a normal grocery. They have some amazing buys, butter at 2 bucks a pound was a shock. The best cottage cheese from friendly farms, the best I've ever had. Really good pork sausage. Great buy on a thanksgiving Turkey this year for 10 dollars and you were allowed to buy 2. But they get 3 dings. The quarter in the cart thing I hate, the kids working in the store knows where nothing is or if they even have it but online says they do and calling the store number you get a voicemail for the corporate office, means you can't call ahead for something. This store is designed to go and buy what you find but that's it. They are not going to be reliable for a special shopping list and you will be shopping at 2-3 stores to fill your needs. But saying all that many people are having a hard time making ends meet and this store will allow someone to buy food for a week for $20.00 and frankly that's not bad. Mostly a very good store. read more

Never ever found anything I was looking for. Just needed a bag of ice and they don't even carry ice.

I love this store. Especially the fresh veggies - note to the Produce Manager - please move the tomatillos and chili's down - Those bins on the top shelf are too high for this 5'4" Shortie. Left the store without them :( read more

Terrible customer service! Cashier was so rude, I didn't get her name but she had black hair and this happened today 2/6/18 around 5:00 PM - but she threw everything into a cart and when I tried to pull the cart towards me she rudely and forcefully pulled it back as if I'm going to steal or something?? Totally unwarranted. I didn't know that the cart has to stay with them so at the end she rudely goes "This stays here....thanks". I didn't know, I've never shopped here before?? What a rude lady! Could've said it the first time instead of aggressively pulling the cart from me. Will not be shopping here again! read more

Not worth the hype. I describe it as "Food 4 Less meets 99 cent store and Big Lots". My visits here are infrequent and usually occur when I need one or two items and don't feel like going to the larger markets. I definitely would not do my normal grocery shopping here. read more

Favorite shop spot... Specials are great...and most items reasonable...just know your prices and you'll do great. Only drawbacks for me: Roma tomatoes never seem firm; skim milk availability touch and go...Otherwise, awesome read more

I'm sad to say Aldi is not providing any protocol for the Corona Virus pandemic anymore. I go every week to shop there an the carst are not being cleaned no hand sanitizer provided at front door, they're not even supplying wioes for costumers to wipe down they're own carts since they're not concerned with the health and safety of they're customers. read more

Came here for some wine for the wife. They always have a decent wine selection and the prices are really good. I don't usually shop here for stuff. I looked for peanut m&m and found one bag. Seems like they rotate products on a regular basis. Maybe that's why the prices are lower. Don't have anything really negative or that great to say about this place. Prices seem pretty reasonable though. I'll give it three stars. read more

The food is a little cheaper than regular markets. They have good selection of cheeses, wine, crackers, fruit, meats. I can see going here to buy stuff for a picnic. The milk is a really good price. What sucks is you got to put a quarter to use a shopping cart, you have to bring your own bags, and you have to bag your on stuff. That's reason why they are a little cheaper. I don't think it's much of a difference. So yeah shop hear but don't buy too much stuff cause you might not have enough bags. Then they got you with buying more bags. The plus side is they have natural fruit leather it's soo good and they have different selection of hard ciders. read more

This is a great concept for a store. Friendly, very helpful staff:) yes you bring your own bags duh better for the environment and if you get good bags it's easier than the crappy old plastic ones. They can keep prices low if you actually do some work yourself and bag your own stuff. Love this store read more

Personally I really liked my experience at Aldi. Everything is well organized, prices are cheap, even some name brands are going for really cheap. Love the veggie selection and even the dairy and meat selection is pretty good. Place is clean and everything seemed pretty fresh. I spent $100 dollars but bought twice as much as I would at another supermarket! So glad this place opened so close to home! read more

Cheesy store, who charges 25 cents ransom for a cart? The beer selection and price is average the food is all unknown brands not a fan. Will only return if I need beer. read more

Great store It's the only place I get my groceries from. It carries everything I need and the prices are great. The staff is helpful and very efficient. read more

Did not have a pleasant experience I felt judged the whole time I was in there by the customers and the cashier who looked ethnic managed to make me feel dumb too!.. Ice never been there I didn't know you bag your own stuff and where she was telling me to send my cart she acted busy the way she rushed me me through as she sat on her chair but the place barely had anybody at that point. Wasn't a fan of the selection either not much in this store read more

This place sucks.... decided to try it out. You have to pay a quarter for a basket.. thank god i had a quarter on me. The brands in here are crap. It looks like a crappy warehouse store.. and I dont think i saved all that much for these unknown brands. Then u have to bring your own bags.. and bag everything your self. And very rude staff. No hi when checking out, all my rude cashier Said was " are you paying with a card" wow so not friendly. Will not be a return customer read more

Very disappointed not only were the aisles so crowded I was bumping elbows with people but when I walked through dogs houses and tools in between aisles it totally ruined my grocery store experience. If it were a 99 cent only i would understand but its our neighborhood grocery store. No bags available had to use reusable sacks and some of the produce was broken in half with flies around it. No reason to return for me. read more

I love there sales for eggs 29 cents for a dozen and regular price is less than 99cents... you just can't beat those prices on eggs I check there weekly add because sometime there eggs are only 25 cent for a dozen. yes!! read more

Saw on news seems cool but unfortunately I will never be back due to you have to pay for the carts and no bags you can't take the carts to your car so you have to bring your own bags or carry everything to you car if you don't have your own bag stupid idea I will stay with WIN CO FOODS read more

I love this store! I like getting their meat and variety of imported goods. Whatever's on sale it's a good one! I also love that it's not too crowded the only downside is getting a cart because they take tokens but staff is always ready to help! read more

I don't like this store at all you have to pay for a cart pay for your bags and their selection just sucks

Went to check it out, wasn't for me was on and out in less than 20 min spend around $2 as well. Not much variety for me, I'd much rather drive to Trader Joes read more

I went to Aldi at about 7 o'clock this evening, April 26 2019 and my Clippers game is on I was getting a bottle of wine some chips and some ice cream. So there is 8 people on the line I'm not ask the clerk is it possible she could call for another checker...but she brushed me off. I just waited to give her some time and I spoke up again and I asked her the same question again and she told me she'll be right with me. I said but you didn't even answer the first question I ask and it only requires a simple yes or no answer. And she started saying something and I just interrupted and said there are too many other stores around here for me to put up with this crap from you guys. You're not that special. You know I can get the same products at any store It might cost a little bit more but at least I'm not dealing with attitude. In this neighborhood we treat our neighbors better than what I got that's made me think she's not from around here. In this lifetime I would never spend another dime at your store chain. And if I find out that you own any other Subsidiaries I will boycott them as well. read more

I read a few of these reviews, and had to actually sign up for Yelp to get this on. I absolutely love this place. I have shopped at Aldi overseas, on the east coast and now here. I was absolutely astounded by the negative reviews. I have no dog in this fight. I don't work in the grocery business. Yes, when you arrive, bring a quarter. That is to release the shopping cart. Don't fret. When you are done shopping, you will get your quarter back. This means you actually have a waddle back to the shopping cart corral and return your cart! Plug the cart in and out pops your quarter. Pros? No dents from Aldi carts blowing in the wind and bashing into your car. Fewer homeless folk walking round with Aldi carts. Also you always know where to actually find a cart! Also, miraculously we get lower prices on products purchased from this store. Another point listed as a negative for this store is you have to bag your own groceries. The staff place your items into another cart. The store has provided you with a shelf just past the check stands to allow you to bag your groceries. For the savings from shopping at this store, I can pack my own bags. Some of the reviews have made reference that some items as they are not name brand are sub standard. I have to say there have been a few losers (I was not a fan of the breaded fish, or one of the salsas with some fruit in it) but 99 percent of what I have purchased at this store has been top quality. I purchase a lot of fruit and vegetables, and tend to shop around the outside of the store. One "reviewer" stated the fruit and vegetables were small? I just left the store a few hours ago. They sure seemed about the same as any other store. With the exception of the watermelons. Which were enormous for under two dollars each. So the winners. Eggs at .59 cents a dozen, this price has been the same since I walked into this store several months ago. 93 percent lean ground beef. $3.98 a pound, sold in one pound containers. The price also steady since I found Aldi here. A favorite of mine is a small section in the cooler a the back of the store called "Aldi finds." I have found some really REALLY nice items in here. Including a short bread cookie covered in chocolate and caramel that was imported from Scotland. Sorry I forgot the name. Beer and wine. I have loved the imported and domestic brands I have tried from Aldi. Give the imports a shot. I have been in the store and watched guys walking to the check stand with loads of beer. The wine is not bad per my wife. Also a few reviews i have found on line state the Aldi brand "Winking Owl" is one of the best inexpensive wines. Yes there are "organic" fruits and veg. Also organic dairy products. Just about half the price of the other markets. One last bit. The center of the store has a small section of goods. Tents, pots, pans blankets etc. I actually purchased a four man tent from this aisle for get this, $20. I thought well its only twenty bucks... if I only use it once it will pay for itself. I took this tent with two others (large adult family). One, my old standby, another brand new Coleman, and my cheapy Aldi tent. We arrived at the Grand Canyon in the middle of a huge thunder store. The water was pounding down. The only tent that did not leak? The Aldi tent. Every item I have purchased from the dry good area has been A+. Just so you know. The distance these folks are complaining about to return a cart, is a grand total of about thirty yards. Phew. I am breaking into a sweat just contemplating that!.. I am not sure what Aldi has in place for elderly shoppers or those with disabilities. But know this. I shop there. If I see you having a hard time, I will always lend a hand. If you have read to this point, you have way too much time on your hands. read more

Stater's was packed and I remembered this place had finally opened. Nice break from the crazy parking lot on the other side. I only needed a few items so I didn't need a cart or bag. I got avocados for 45 cents each. Enough said. read more

Have been going regularly since Aldi opened by my house. Customer service is good until you get to the register. Before you even have a chance to unload your groceries to the conveyor, they are asking you how you are paying and to swipe your card. Then as you are unloading your groceries, the cashier is throwing them back into another cart. Yup you have to inspect your food for damage before you leave. It seems they are all about pushing you through the line so they can push the next customer through etc. Slow down!!! read more

This place was a surprise to me! I decided to check it out because I was in the area and I needed a quick place to get groceries. I wasn't going in for anything specific besides milk and bread but I was surprised by how inexpensive everything was! The bread and milk were pretty much the same as most places but I found such great deals on other things such as tortellini pasta which is normally like $5 dollars and I got for like $1.50 or less. My recommendations are that you bring your own big reusable bags so you don't need to pay for a cart. This place isn't so big as well so don't expect to find everything you need and want here. I will be back for sure! read more

We went to aldi about 2 week's ago in Fontana. My people told me and wife about this place. We went there right as they open. This place is a goldmine I like it like baby eating candy! They have very reasonable price's on everything. The only thing is that they have there own brand of food. But that cool we weren't worried about that. You get more for money which made us happy. read more

I love this store! They have them in Spain as well as most of Europe, it's a German store (Aldi Sud). I read comments where people who are not well informed are calling these brands and food cheap 99 cent store knock offs...umm NO! It's the house brand as well as several other Aldi guaranteed brands many are European and you'd pay top dollar for "especially the organic ones" at places like Trader Joe's (owned by Aldi Nord) or Sprouts. Prices are amazing. The quality of the food is excellent. Yeah it's not a huge store with 10 options of different brands of the same item. It'll have 1-3 options but that's all you need. The deli meats are gourmet imported as well as the olives. They have Serrano ham (very expensive cured meat from acorn fed pigs) kind of like prosciutto but better. The sausages are top notch. The dozen eggs are the cheapest around. The beer and wine selection is marvelous and the price can't be beat. They also carry seasonal items. Very good and tasty fruits and vegetables. Lots of excellent choices of children's (toddler) foods including organic squeeze pouches and some delicious breads. So yes you do bag your own groceries- it's not a big deal. If you've ever been to Europe you do it there, it saves you lots of money. You have to take your own bags everywhere anyways so nothing different here, and 25 cent cart is just their way of saving from having to pay an employee to go hunt them down in the parking lot. Especially in the 100 degree Fontana summers. So again not an issue you put a quarter in and you use the cart you return the cart and you get it back. Easy peasy! The store is always clean and the staff is friendly. read more
