Awesome store, I had never heard of Aldi, I'm glad that I do now. Quality food for a great price. Bri. P. ; You are crying about paying .25 cents to use a cart? Hehe... YOU GET THE QUARTER BACK! This process saves the store from theft of carts and paying someone to round them up. This in turn allows the store to keep prices low so that you can complain about getting a deal of products. read more

I really like this store. It's no-frills nothing fancy. They do carry all the staples, plus a lot of various things, and I end up saving a TON of money compared to Von's or Ralph's. They carry mostly their own brands, with very few national brands, but they do NOT sacrifice the quality. Almost everything we have tried has been as good or better than the national brand. Their system of needed to insert a quarter to use the cart, that you then get back when you return it, is similar to the practice in Europe and Canada, and I don't see a problem with it! I actually feel better because people are more likely to return the cart where it goes and hence I am less likely to have one roll into my car! I did take a star off my review due to their lack of concern about the seedy people hanging out in their parking lot. Lots of homeless, a few people living in their cars seemingly permanently parked in their parking lot, and people begging for money. Additionally, a person I assume is the manager I find really rude... not friendly at all!!! read more

Aldi is to Trader Joe's what Vons is to Pavillions... it's the no nonsense less selection and cheaper version of the latter. Aldi comes from the same German family of markets that brought you Trader Joe's, so you can expect that some of the same themes will run through their markets. Here, they really want to save on costs so that they can pass on that savings to you. You can get a shopping cart, but you have to deposit 25 cents to encourage (force) you to return the cart when you're done (of course you get the 25 cents back). Now, they don't need anyone to round up carts. They do not bag your groceries and they leave it up to you (that's where keeping the shopping cart comes in handy; you just put the groceries back in the cart, go to the bagging area, and bag your groceries). Anyone who gave this a low rating did not 1) look at how low their prices are and 2) realize how their quality is still second to none. We just sampled a few of their products. They're not gourmet, but they're no different than what you get at your local supermarket. The only difference is that the price is about 30%-50% less. Yes, that is correct. I just priced their ice cream... 50% off what you would pay at a chain market. Their fresh meats.... that's about a 30% discount. All of these discounts add up! Plus, they throw in a couple of premier items just to let you know that you're dealing with European purveyors of food. All in all, I highly recommend this spot. Look at the number of reviews that I've given (600+). I know a deal when I see one. This is a deal. Ignore the raters that 1) talk about shopping carts, 2) say that the food is no good, or 3) were expecting Whole Foods items. This is a bargain, and choosing this location will allow those on fixed incomes as well as those with disposable income to enjoy shopping again... on the cheap! read more

Love this place! Been to the one in Wisconsin and finally seen one here in Westminster, California. I heard it's a sister store to Trader Joe's. Two brothers own these stores read more

I recently discovered Aldi. It's basically "Trader Joe's lite" but cheaper. They have some good offerings here, but you won't find everything you need. What they do have it great quality food items like meats and vegetables. Don't forget to bring a quarter for the shopping carts! read more

Oh Aldi, I want to love you. I really do. Having lived in the UK I'm well versed in a coin deposit for a cart (it's a £1 in the UK and only $.25 here. A bargain!). You made my British husband's day by selling Jaffa Cakes. The weird but magical middle aisle was filled with all the things I didn't know I needed till then. It was just like being back in jolly old England! But for the love of god your cashier that seems to always work evenings is a speed demon and not in a good way. There's never a line so it's not like he's in a rush to get to customers. He just scans items at light speed, haphazardly throws your items back in the cart and barely utters a word to you. Tortilla chips are crushed and apples are bruised. I wish there was a self check out line so I could make sure my items aren't destroyed by the time I bag them. I'll return to this store I'm sure but not if I can help it. TJ's is just around the corner with far friendlier staff and I don't have to worry if my food will make it out of the store in one piece. read more

I honestly think the negative reviews are because people do not understand the concept here. I too was guilty of it when I first walked in a few months ago. (and whatever reviews referred to rude service They have since fixed it apparently! ) I was also a little confused in my first visit. Because, among a couple other things, there are no brands that you recognize. You have to stop and take the time and read the packages. (The other confusing things are you rent the shopping cart while you're there for $.25, and the entrance is on the left and the exit is on the right. They are a German company... Don't fault them!!) Any way, to the good stuff! When you finally put all your prejudices aside and know you're going to spend some time figuring things out, you're going to find some amazing things that you will not get anywhere else. I invested in the $2.99 cheddar and jalapeño raviolis. I thought "No waaaay is this going to be good! The Germans honestly don't even know how to make good food!" I was 1000% misguided. It was absolutely delicious, and it was a fresh pasta ravioli. I've come back many times, bought two bottles of wine, bought dinner for the night, and a lunch for the morning... And I swear to God I walked out only paying $25. Please ... don't let close minded people turn you away. I would like to keep this grocery store in my neighborhood. Cheers! read more

This has nothing to do with their products or the actual store think it's great however this stores customer service is terrible. The employees are rude they talk back to customers like they are on the street. Theresa is the worst. She's beyond unprofessional and rude. I just called corporate office and hope something will be done regarding this matter. I'm to the point where I'm going to drive to another Aldi to hopefully get better service.. So sad. read more

You have to pay to use their carts. All flowers dying. No water. Only one cashier open.

I understand the concept of the market, I just think the food isn't very good. I wanted to like it, but its no TJs. The quality of their house brand is poor, imo. My experience & why I don't like Aldi 1) Peanut butter filled pretzels Aldi brand-not good at all, the taste was ok, but in 1/2 the pretzels the peanut butter had turned to powder, wtf is that about?? When I buy a bag from Tjs of same product, it will last 1 week in our home. 1/2 the bag is still in cupboard-NO One is house hold liked it. Gotta Toss out. 2) Bread-Hawaiian sweet rolls & loaf of white bread-white bread went moldy before exp date. Sweet rolls-tasted nasty and stale. 3) THE WORST-their aldi brand tabouli -OMG all I could taste was pickles!!! Disgusting, one bite and it was thrown out. 4) This am I wanted to make breakfast burritos...took out the Aldi frozen Hash browns...oh no, they expired yesterday and I bought them last week??? Maybe they will be ok...but alas no, the pkg was frozen solid, a brick of potatoes that were beige(again WTF?) & ice. Once again, I threw out aldi food. I really did want to love this market, I get their concept and they are def cheaper, but dear God-the food I bought sucked. I will pay more and go back to Trader Joes, yes its expensive, but I don't throw everything away that I bought. The quality of Aldis brand is sub par, imo. read more

Always friendly staff, and a great place to stock up on quality products at low prices. Love the team at this store!

WOW! Being that I spend must of my time in Australia I was very excited to finally have Aldi somehow near me in Long Beach. I walked in and I was so excited I FaceTime my best friend in Australia and I started to show him the store and the products that were so similar... I was like a kid in a candy store only to be yelled by a employee "don't do that!" Which I replied: "do what?" And he said: "don't use your phone for that" and he pointed at the products... needless to say this jerk ruined my excitement and after that encounter I had NO desire to buy anything anymore. I walked aimlessly trying to reconcile my feelings of being offended and verbally assaulted but to no avail. The tall black man went back to stocking the shelves and my friend in Australia was very disappointed of the experience as well. I'm NOT COMING BACK. It really left a sour taste in my mouth and I can't avoid to compared the YUGE difference between the friendly Aldi Aussies and the unfriendly Aldi Americans. God Bless Australia! read more

ALDI - See how excited I was before that jerk employe at Aldi ruined my experience... - Grocery Near Me - Long Beach, California

I love this store when they first opened it it was kinda weird it was like super lonely and kinda spooky well to me at least my wife told me about this store so we went in and now we love it always friendly staff and polite i have nothing but good things to say about this store thank you guys for always stocking up on everything read more

Really cool store if you need something fast..... Chanel was a very happy cashier need more people out here like her giving service with a smile read more

Aldi grocery store located in North Long Beach on Atlantic Avenue this grocery store has a lot of deals plenty of stuff to choose from when you want a deal on meat their manager's special is a good deal to go to their meat is really really low price and a lot of other items are priced very well here I would come to go shopping read more

I like this store but seems like some of the stuff are old like the freezer section always have old food on the ground what's that about? And I tried to grab some fresh cucumbers and they all had mold on it so I thought maybe it's just one bag. I tried to lift up the box beneath it and all of them had mold/ it grossed me out. read more

Although, this store is smaller compared to other grocery stores, they pretty much have everything you need. The basics such as fresh fruits/veggies, meat, and dairy are very reasonably priced. Almost all the boxed, packaged, and canned goods are their brands (generic versions of popular name branded items). So far, I have liked everything I have tried. It's also great knowing that if I don't like something, I can bring it back and receive double my money back. I really enjoy the german chocolate covered butter cookies and my kids really like their version of Doritos. The store is always clean and the enployees are regularly seen cleaning the store. The service has always been supurb. We are usually checked out by Chanel. She is very sweet and helpful. read more

Very impressed. I've shopped at Aldi in Europe and they've brought their high standards to the US. The quarter-for-a-cart thing is funny and not a big deal. The store is super clean and well organized. I found the staff to be courteous and helpful. Prices appear to be even better than Food For Less and Bargain Market. Most of the items/brands I had never heard of but the quality is excellent. It's fun to search through all of the interesting items. A bargain version of Trader Joe's! The worst thing I can say is that their ice cream selection is lacking! Definitely go and check this place out! read more

This place is pretty unique and awesome! Avocados are 25 cents right now (1/7/17)...I'm in guacamole heaven!! :) FACTS: -You need a quarter to use a cart, but once returned so is your quarter (not a big deal IMO). -The cashiers get to sit down in a comfy chair while they ring up the groceries (that's a nice benefit). -Customers bag their groceries (that's the norm these days), and there's a bagging bar (which is useful and considerate). -Small store with plenty of parking. -Great prices! (Check out the weekly ads). Some people might consider some of these facts as cons, but I don't mind them at all. If you want your groceries bagged and are too lazy/inconsiderate to return a grocery cart then this store is not for you. Tip: Don't forget your own grocery bags! read more

Just 3 words: don't do it. First of all, you have to pay .25 to use their shopping carts. They are all tied together. Supposedly you get it back when you return it but it looks like a pain. The cashier told me to just leave my cart and I asked if she'd give me my quarter back. She reluctantly did. It's not the quarter it's the idea. Wasn't impressed with the store. No big selection of anything and the layout was weird. Went in for bottled water and couldn't find any anywhere. So unless there's some life changing special on something I wouldn't bother. read more

* if you don't have a quarter for the cart, the employee out front will exchange a quarter for whatever change you have. I had two dimes and five pennies, and she gave me a quarter. * you get the quarter back after you return the cart. Which I like because you don't have to worry about carts being left in a parking spot or just around the parking lot. * the prices were phenomenal! For two weeks worth of food I only spent $38! I even got some organic products! I don't think I've ever spent that little even at Wal Mart or Grocery Outlet! I didn't get any meat because I had it at home already; however, the meat prices were very reasonable. * yes, you bag your own groceries. But honestly if it saves me $$$ then I will bag my own. * I must've gone on a good day because I received nothing but great service. The cashier was standing when she got a line. I think when they have more than three people, they are required to stand. At least that's what happened during my visit. * it's not very big, but it's worth the trip! read more

I gave them another chance and now understand how Aldi works. They rotate baskets. You bag you groceries on the side. We put in a quarter to get a basket or exchange quarters with someone outside. I think we are all adjusted now. I still only buy certain things from three but I'm going to stop leaving these whining and entitled reviews. The world does not revolve around any of us. It's a food chain, not my personal service center. Take a deep breath, be grateful, and evolve! read more

This place has no business calling themselves a supermarket! Shane on them with their lack of service and .25 cent to use a shopping cart! Plus they lack integrity for the elderly as there is no services available for help or advice. Furthermore the store is full of 99 cent store items but not priced at 99 cents. read more

I was shocked on how many non dairy milk products they have here and for a very affordable price. For that aldi was a plus. I just got two salad bags ,bananas and some chocolate pretzels. Shopping cart costs you 25 cents, then it gets returned to you. So dont be me and xarry some quarters. plastic bags 10cents, make sure you grab yourself(self serve) near cashier. Aldi my issue was-- your rude cashier. I believe her name is Jazmin. She was extremely rude with another client because of her accent. Sorta came off as rude to me too but i deal with shitty attitudes for a living so i handled her! But other than that weird experience(nearly ruined it for me) i will give aldi a second chance.. read more

I just spent $60 on 3 months' worth of food lol. I freakin love Aldi. Also, this place is great for vegans and for trying out Pinterest recipes. Don't forget to bring a quarter for the shopping carts! read more

Clean, convenient, and cheap. Parking is plentiful. Discount grocery store. Some of their prices are unbelievable. For example, I have paid as little .58 cents for a dozen large AA eggs. Yesterday I paid .78 cents for a dozen eggs. How about a gallon of milk for $1.75! They have seasonal bargains on a variety of non-food items too. You'll have to check it out to see if you want to paid low prices for some of your food needs. Bring a quarter for shopping cart which you get back when you return the cart. read more

Good food without the name brand hype. This is how the rest of the country non large town eats. Aint no shame to the game , bag it yourself and save, all the big name stores advertise, then we pay for it, fck the rest. read more

Pretty much like any other cheap grocery store, actually reminds me very much like all the Grocery bargain outlet markets. The prices and layout is very similar other than paying a quarter deposit to aquire a cart. I'm glad they opened one up in my area which is in LBC. So be sure to have a quarter with you when you visit. Other than that most often an employee has helped me out when I didn't have a quarter in hand and gave me a cart anyways..... Just be prepared lol! read more

ALDI - These are really good, my go to buys when I visit Aldi. - Grocery Near Me - Long Beach, California

This is the first ALDI that I've ever been to and it feels like the Germans are just researching the American market. The parent company owns Trader Joe's so it's odd to have any overlap. read more

I'm a Fan visited this store in Tennessee, became a frequent shopper so glad it made its way to California and lucky it's in my hood. great prices will not disappoint read more

Love love love Aldi!! The people are friendly, the store is always clean and neat and most always well stocked and this place is a budget saver!! I have three teens/preteens and those girls can EAT!!! I love the quality and variety of the products offered and the thrill of the Aldi Finds!!! If you have not shopped here and want to save some serious money on groceries and other products, you have to check it out. Just be sure to bring a quarter to release the shopping cart and be prepared to bag your own order. A no brainer trade for the savings!! I love you Aldi!! read more

Best deals in town! The store manager Shantell was great! So helpful and Professional. I definitely recommend coming here!

Aldis has a lot of groceries to choose from. They have hot dogs for just 79 cents and mark down their seasonal candy when they have a surplus. read more

I had a coupon from another store...tried to use it at the Long Beach was told that it wasn't accepted...please explain it to me like a three year old...how it was ok to use at a different store with a different address and not here...Will not be shopping here again...I will stick to Trader Joe's and Sprouts...To bad Fritz could not come out and address the matter to me personally...I guess when training management Aldi forgot common courtesy...Giving it a one star...because it would not let me post without star...It's still a no star post... read more

I'm not a "name-brand-junkie", and I like the prices, but let's talk about the unnecessary wait in the line. I say line (singular) because every time I have been there, there has been a single line, and no matter how long the line (or how many people are waiting - 8, 9, 10, etc.), there is only one - one register, one cashier, one line). read more

My love for Aldi is real. This is our go to grocery store in Long Beach ever since it opened. It's not as crowded as other places and we like their produce section. We go here every weekend. You have to put 25 cents to get a cart but you can get it when you put the cart back(you have to put the key in the slot of your cart to get the quarter back).They sell cheap wines and great quality frozen pizzas. I'm also a big fan of their Specialty Selected line, especially the Truffles Mac and Cheese. Sometime, they would do sales for random items that are too good to pass( like a cat window bed for 15 dollars). Best to go here on Sunday afternoon because in my experience, the shelves are always fully stocked. read more

There's great deals with a decent amount to offer but I hope no one has to encounter a woman named Jessie working at the counter who hates her life and wants to make the customers feel like they're contributing to the reason she hates her life. Jesse was very rude and pushed me, my food and my cart around very aggressively. read more

This isn't the closest Aldi to me, but I don't mind the extra drivetime. Overall layout follow the general Aldi template, but it's much cleaner and well-maintained than that other one with flies in the produce bins *cough*Inglewood*cough. I'm not sure what the crowd levels are like throughout the week, but it was relatively quiet during my Saturday late morning visit. read more

First time going into an ALDI was recommended by a friend who was a former manager for a different location.The prices are so super competitive however their associate are not as Friendly. The only cashier at the time Vanessa was a little of a smart Alec when I asked her about different payment options that the stores offered and in line she even told the customer ahead of me that she should put her son on a leash. If that was me I would have reacted badly but still I found that comment to be super unprofessional. I know this is a good company to work for but maybe she's just not cut for it . read more

I love this store! The brand's are just as good if not better than the national brands. The employees are always very fast and friendly. The store is the way it is so the prices stay so low. I know the cart thing is new to the area but it's that way so they don't have to pay someone to go out amd gather all the carts lazy people leave all over the parking lot. I actually love it because I dont have to worry about carts hitting my car as much or pulling into a great parking spot and finding it full of rouge carts. But my favorite part of this store is the savings. $40 for a weeks worth of groceries for a family of 4! With the price we pay for rent here, Its wonderful to get this little break. read more
