As of February 3, 2026, this location is still open, but it's very clear they are no longer fully stocking due to the impending closure. A number of shelves were already empty, and the store felt noticeably picked over. I went in hoping to find some discounts, either regular sales or closing deals, but there really weren't any. That was a bit disappointing, especially given how bare some of the aisles looked. Customer service was pretty much nonexistent, which has honestly been the norm here, but it felt even more noticeable this time around. You can still stop in and grab what you need, but don't expect any stellar service or great bargains. It's sad to see this location closing. Hopefully, something good moves into the space. read more

The future is...slightly underwhelming. There are some good deals to be had here but a few weird things as well. Produce is pretty hit and miss, the meat dept has a decent variety but it's all pre-packaged; no meat cutters. Nice salad bar and deli area. Dry goods are pretty standard, not a lot in the way of household cleaning supplies. The two weirdest things that stand out to me: 1. There are tons of people constantly stocking. I get it and I get the business model but the side effect is that the employees and their carts are always in your way. 2. Is it just me or does it seem like 3/4 of the workforce here was hitting the devil's lettuce extra hard last night and they're wandering around in a haze today? Customer service isnt "bad," per se, it's just sort of like they're on a different planet. Jeff Bezos is coming for your grocery pesos. I'll be at the salad bar. read more

Cheapest spot to get mt dew or Pepsi 24 pack at 9.99. Thank you Amazon read more

It is... okay. Some good stuff, but also some head-scratchers. Prices are solid, and there's a wide selection of items overall. I like that they've got a hot food bar, salad bar, and even a little seating area with a microwave if you want to eat on the spot. Customer service is super convenient for returns, and I appreciate that they've got both cashiers and self-checkout. The "smart carts" you can scan as you go look fun--I'll try one next time. Deals are easy to spot on the shelves, and the parking lot has plenty of space. Bonus: there's a whole aisle dedicated just to wine and beer. BUUUUT...The produce section looked super rough. Lots of wilted lettuce, sad-looking flowers, and big gaps in the refrigerated area where items were missing. I even had to go hunting for one of those little plastic produce bags. The hot food bar didn't look great either with trays sitting out for who knows how long, some empty altogether. Same with the salad bar, which definitely needed some love. Even the beer and wine refrigerated area wasn't fully stocked. TLDR: , The store feels kind of quiet and empty not much energy. It's worth checking out for the deals and convenience, but the "fresh" part of Amazon Fresh could use some attention. read more

This place is still open as of 3/3 but closes in about a week. It's pretty clean, they're offering discounts but it's not as much as you'd think it would be. Service is alright, the employees were obviously overwhelmed and over worked. I hope Amazon is doing something to help them after the store closes. read more

If you've never been to an Amazon Fresh grocery store, you are in for something a little different. I feel like the store exists mainly to fill Amazon online grocery orders, hence don't be surprised to find more employees inside filling online orders than outside customers. Online grocery is high volume, so they are constantly restocking the shelves too. It can all make for a very crowded store experience. High tech: although they no longer utilize 'just walk out' technology, now there are high tech dash carts that have barcode readers, so you can scan products as you add them to your shopping cart. Good promos: there is always a coupon or two you can scan to add to your account at the returns desk. Usually it's $10 off a $40 purchase. Yes you can also make Amazon returns at the store. There can be really good sale products too, be sure to check the weekly ad. Prepared foods: they have an impressive salad, bar and hot food bar, and a very economical pizza station. Whole pizzas are under 10 bucks and slices are usually two dollars. However, some don't think the pizzas are very good as the crust is incredibly plain - however they tend to make up for this with fancy topping combinations such as buffalo chicken or barbecue chicken pizza. Overall worth a visit if you're in the area, but if you're not just order online like everyone else does! read more

The first Amazon Fresh store I had been to was the one in Torrance, and I loved it! I made it my regular grocery store. I had to move out of the area (unfortunately still displaced from the LA fires) and was slightly sad it might be my last time at an Amazon Fresh store, so I was so excited to find that Poway had a location too. The Poway location is very big and the staff were noticeably working hard. My husband was impressed! We give credit to the work ethics of people from the Poway area and the manager must be doing something right. I actually enjoy the Amazon Fresh store experience over Costco because it isn't as congested. The prices are great for most of the grocery items I usually get and it's worth checking prices. Some things might still be a better deal per quantity at Costco, but the store brand items are definitely less expensive than at Vons. I am not usually an Amazon prime member, but I haven't felt I needed it to get additional discounts at the store. I use the Amazon Fresh stores to return items if I needed to and it's easy and convenient. I also appreciate all the discount coupons I can get from returning my Amazon purchases at the store. read more

I'm Amazed The supermarket of the future. And I can't wait for one to come to Hawaii. Just like Costco, your prime membership lets you in the door but without the representative checking you out. I mean checking you in. The doors are shut and only open when you scan the app to go in. The carts are amazing. Instead of using your phone to scan a product like Sam's Club app, the shopping cart is a scanner. And if confused, you can use the touch screen on the cart to add or delete what you want. You can use a traditional cashier to pay (like with cash) or if your membership is linked to a CC, just head straight to the door. You get charged as you leave. Want to return something you got delivered in the mail from Amazon? Well you can return it here. Talk about convenience. Prices are competitive. And cheaper than Whole Foods. The grocery layout here looks more like Walmart. Overall five stars. I would do all my grocery shopping here for selection, deli, and paying convenience. read more

The one line review is this: It's everything good about Whole Foods, without all the pretense. My only very minor gripe is that it's not closer to my home. The store is very tech forward but in a way that eases the customer experience. There's checkout methods for every level of user. The shelves, unlike Vons, are stocked. The variety is great. The prices are fair, in comparison to the competition. Clean, well organized, helpful people if you need it. A hot bar for ready-to-eat food. I think the sanest way to rate Amazon Fresh is in comparison to what's happening at the incumbent grocery story world. Holding them up to where I normally shop ... I would go to Fresh every time if it were in my own neighborhood. For now, I'll have to settle on visiting every few weeks. read more

Visited 1/29/2025 Hey SD Foodies Just thought I'd mention you can now pickup Fresh Ready Made Meals at the Amazon Fresh Store's here in San Diego. I visited The New Poway Store the other day and was impressed with the massive size of the place and the great selection on the Floor. Amazon Fresh 14837 Pomerado Rd, Poway, CA 92064 https://yelp.to/ElEN0hJsGF Several Locations throughout SD. They have a great Fresh Salad Bar loaded with a great selection of veggies A selection of Sliced Fresh Pizza Fresh Rotisserie Chickens. A Hot Soup Selection Bar. A Cold Sandwich Section. And a Hot Food Bar that unfortunately wasn't set up yet early as I was visiting that day so no pictures. Everything you could need to take home a meal or grab a bite for the road. The rest of the store has everything you could Imagine for Groceries so shopping is easy. Amazon Prime Members get a discount on most products. Im looking forward to trying their Ready To Eat Selections in the near future. As A Foodie I Just thought I'd mention It. read more

I love Amazon Fresh! At this location, the best cashier ever pointed out while I was at register I only needed $2 more to save $10....she helped me find something handy nearby (I chose the microwave popcorn which I had been eyeing earlier) and saved $10 on my total bill even with that additional item...very cool. I think the deal is that if you spend $50 you save $10. There are a lot of good savings here, especially if you are a Prime member. This store is very clean and organized. I love their roast chicken for $6.99 ($5.99 for prime members). The huge pizza slices and fresh sushi are also excellent. I haven't tried the auto shopping carts which charge your Amazon account instead of having to check out at the register (each item is scanned as soon as it is added to the cart, I think). For this particular store, the parking lot is very spacious but it seems Pomerado Road can get very busy and difficult to navigate. I happened to find the store during an after school rush and the roads were a headache...but it was still well worth the visit. read more

Finally! Amazon Fresh has finally opened in Poway after several years of waiting. I went on opening day and parking was rough. However, I went back on a normal day and it was easier to find parking. Prices were really good on their specials, but others items were quite high. An example would be the Topo Chicos. They were $6.99 for a 4 pack. When you can get 12 at Sprouts for $14.99. I do like being able to find different and unique items here. The salad bar looks amazing! I will be back as they just opened and they are just getting started. read more

5* for amazon return process! (3* for the store so average it to 4*) After you enter the store just make a left and you will find a return desk or the kiosk. Use the kiosk if you got the QR code on your phone! It is super easy and quick. Highly recommend it. Just bring your item unboxed and follow the prompt on the screen. I didn't have any issues with accessing my Amazon account today. Maybe because I had the order screen already open but I was returning two separate items and it didn't give me a hard time loading the second product. Hopefully that means they updated their wifi/connection in the store? read more

Finally, the Amazon Fresh store has opened on Pomerado Road in Poway, San Diego! We've been waiting for a while, and it definitely lives up to expectations. The store offers great Amazon deals on everything, even produce, which was a nice surprise, although other product I feel is little more pricy than other store. It's fantastic to see high-quality items at competitive prices, especially with the convenience of linking your Amazon account to pay directly from your linked card. They've even added Dash Carts, which makes shopping faster and more efficient. My little one was thrilled with the Lil' Shopper cart for kids--she had a blast doing her own mini grocery run alongside us! The store also offers a pickup option, which is super convenient. Since it's only been open a few days, it's quite busy, but the overall experience and helpful staff make it worth the trip. Looking forward to more shopping trips here! read more

We waited a long time for Amazon to get their act together and open this location, and it is only moderately worth the wait. It promised a high tach, different approach but it seems to me to be just another grocery store with the occasional bargain. Nothing unusual about it, and very little to merit the "fresh" in their name. I don't find it as inviting as other shopping destinations, nor do I see much reason to go out of my way to shop there. The only time I drop in is after a trip to Target, in the same center, or after breakfast at the Pancake House. read more

Finally! I've been waiting a few years for this store to open. The first time I visited one of these stores was in LA and I had been waiting since then for this location to open up. I went on a Tuesday around noon and there was plenty of parking and it wasn't crowded. The store itself is clean and contain regular groceries you can find at other grocery stores. But my favorite part of this store is the salad bar, hot bar, pizza, sushi etc. $2 for pizza slices and there are a few different topping options. I enjoyed the chicken noodle soup, spicy tuna roll, and the pasta salad that contains cranberries. I felt the prices were fair. If you have Amazon prime and go into the Amazon fresh section of your app, you can get a small discount at checkout. There are items in the store that offer a small discount of about 50 cents or less if you have prime. Paper bags are free which is nice. There is a seating area near the exit where you can sit and enjoy your food. I'll be back but only when I'm nearby. It's worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

We returned today, and what a difference crowdwise. I know ... Grand Opening is not a good time to judge a store. Today was much better getting around the store. Again we used a Dash Cart. Service was generally very good, and there are Alexa devices around the store to help you find the aisle for items. Produce looked fresh, and we picked up some sale items. Two big problems: * Empty shelves & out-of-stock on sale items * Associate unfamiliar with items in weekly ads Bottom line: we won't make a special trip to shop here. read more

Came here to return Amazon package and also wanted to get some grocery shopping done and really enjoyed the store! It's super clean and very spacious! The staffs were very friendly and welcoming. I received 10 dollars off if spend 40 after dropping off return so decided to shop away. They had cute little carts for kiddos!! It was super clean and my son lovvvveddd it!! If had cute flags and plenty of spaces for him to shop. They also had free fresh pear, apple, and oranges for kids!! Love love! The items were so cheap compare to sprout and Whole Foods!!! You can't compare whole food grade items to Walmart and Costco lol. Really enjoyed thr experience and will def come back. read more

We have been waiting for Amazon Fresh to open for what seems like years now here in Poway and guess what? It FINALLY DID!!! The employees throughout the store are very nice and in the front of the store very helpful. They walk you through the smart cart if this is your first visit or you need help. We logged into our Amazon account and the cart did the rest. Worked out quite well. They also have normal shopping carts and self checkout available. As far as selection, they have a lot, the place is pretty huge. Some items I have not seen elsewhere for a while (like Jell-O cheesecake flavor, not sugar free like everywhere else I've been to). They have a nice hot/cold you pick selection including a salad bar, soup bar, and premade meals to chose from. We were there sort of late in the evening and it was just before Thanksgiving so some of the food looked like it hadn't even been touched and had been sitting around. We did try the loaded potato soup which was tasty. Plenty of variety for sure but we did not find the prices very competitive. I know for sure there are plenty of items I could get a way better deal from Vons or Target. Unless there was an Amazon Prime deal, prices were fairly high we felt. Cool to walk around and grab a few items, but not sure I could do my weekly shopping here yet. It is also neat that you can order on-line for pick up and make Amazon returns in store if needed. read more

I've been coming to Tom's for good old-fashioned country comfort food ever since they opened. Sometimes they mess it up, hello right, do you have the side of sauce can I get some extra sauce? The service there is great, they take pride in what they do and it shows. I recommend the huevos rancheros! read more

I was driving by last Sunday and saw some open parking spots so decided to give Amazon Fresh a try. I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars. Rather than agonize about it, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and round up. The store was big and clean and the employees seemed nice. I wasn't really shopping, just picked up a handful of things so I don't have a lot to review. I didn't use the Dash cart, just a small basket. Items seemed a bit pricey compared to Aldi and Walmart. My husband had been a few days before and bought some Amazon brand products (in particular, Happy Belly) that were priced competitively. Not sure I will go out of my way to go to this store, but if I'm in the area I wouldn't mind stopping. So many choices now in Poway! read more

This Amazon Fresh is close to my house and the perfect place for me to stop by for anything I need. Paying with Amazon One by using my palm is so quick and easy. I prefer coming here instead of Target now because it's less crowded, prices are around the same, and the parking by the store isn't as packed or chaotic. I've also tried the hot food bar and love how convenient it is. They have seating by the checkout and a microwave if you want to heat up any food immediately. My returns are also 100x easier now that I can just drop it off here! read more

Stopped by here since I go to the nearby pizza shop to grab some items. I ended up buying a whole pizza in store for $10. They assemble it fresh, but I wish they had left my pizza an extra few minutes for more crisp. Is it better than the pizza shop across the street? Not really, but if you want a $2 slice or $10 whole pizza then this is the place. They have Pepperoni, Cheese, BBQ Chicken, Alfredo and Supreme. They can do half/half. The hot bar looked pretty good, but some of the other food looked like it has been sitting for awhile. I did get the cheese curds and they were really good! You do get a slight discount for being an Amazon prime member. I don't see this place being here longer since Target is literally next door. read more

I had an opportunity to shop at the Amazon Fresh store in Poway and what a great experience. The store is very large, extremely clean and well organized. I was greeted by helpful staff members to assist in my first visit. I spent the time to become acquainted with the store and want to share the dedicated efforts of a few working there: kudos to Albert in produce who loves his job, to Jennifer in meats for giving helpful information and for manager,Manuel,for explaining operations of the store. If you haven't visited Amazon Fresh in Poway, you are missing a valuable experience. You will find quality, good prices, and efficiency. Try it, you will like it! read more

This is the closest store to me but never the easiest. Woof. If you can get in and get out without needing anything, then it's fine, but customer service is an absolute wreck. No one is available to help you at the customer service desk. There are so many people back there but they're all busy with online orders. If you can flag somebody down, they often dont know what to do and suggest you call Amazon. Returns are rarely as easy as they're supposed to be. I've tried doing Drive-up orders, thinking maybe they're just better at those, but had a terrible experience with that too. I was outside waiting for my drive-up order for 30 minutes when they just turned the lights off and shut the whole store down. That was a year ago and I've had struggles off and on ever since. read more

Store is overall nice and clean, the selection is limited. Prices are often missing, employees are everywhere but hard to get ahold of anyone if you have questions. Check out process is the biggest downside. The store isn't busy but you are always waiting in a line because employees don't seem to know what they are doing, and take forever. You're better off going to self checkout, If you're not stuck waiting on an employee when something inevitable goes wrong. Stores not the problem it's the service/being user friendly read more

Darryl was so nice! He has the warmest welcome upon my arrival and was super friendly and helped me set up my dash cart and everything. The entire store was immaculately stocked and the food looked great at the hot bar, I mainly focused on groceries but it was a great experience. read more

It's a grocery store warehouse so there's a lot of "order shoppers" buzzing through the store focused on their own orders and plowing by us like bulls on a tight schedule. A LOT. With constant Walkie-talkie noise everywhere, it's a chaotic experience! The prepared food in the deli looks & smells good. I would buy it but haven't yet. Pricey by the ounce. Often the regular product shelves are sparce since they are restocked after the online orders are filled. The produce guy had the tomatoes blocked off when we were trying to buy some but did provide us with a hairy butt crack show! Ugh. When we were leaving and passing through the "touchless" check out, we were detained by the cashier who's accent was so strong that I couldn't understand why she had to run every item through her scanner. Since the final price went up a few $$ from what the I-cart had totaled it was probably a missed item or we didn't get our Amazon prime discount. We left confused after being disillusioned from our first and second visit too, and discouraged from ever going back. On our 2nd visit, it was "forecast to rain" and the same heavy accented checker made us transfer all of our items out of the smart cart and juggle them in our arms. Maybe they are not weatherproof or we looked like cart thieves? We'll never know and asking didn't help but our last visit was a heavy rain day and the cart was fine to go outside. WTH? No thanks. read more

I 've been here a few times. I have a Prime Visa and have qualified for some good discounts. It is a clean, organized store. My only two complaints would be that the parking lot can be an issue, and the store is not a full-service one. You will likely need to shop at least one other market if you prefer variety in your groceries. read more

This place has horrible customer service. I went to return something here. I walk to customer service area where 1 person was in line being helped. Customer service lady behind the counter says "Sir this lady has 4 items to return. Can you please use the return kiosk instead". Next I picked up a few grocery items, at checkout counter I was told by the cashier "Oh sorry sir "we are behind the technology times and do not use or accept apple wallet pay from your phone". This is the 1 and only time I will step foot in and shop here again. read more

I agree with other reviewers that a Whole Foods would have been better in this location. The La Jolla location is always packed, so the demand for organic produce is there. The fruit and vegetables at this location aren't as fresh. Saw some expired yogurts on the shelf, so make sure you check your expiration dates before leaving. The good -- 1. lots of parking, including reserved spots for family parking. 2. An interesting and unique shopping method with the "smart carts" 3. Pretty large chip selection Not really sure who the target audience is for this location. The prices are pretty high and Target is right next door, making it very competitive. read more

It was a pretty cool experience shopping at Amazon fresh. The parking lot was packed and a bit difficult to find, but not too bad if you're willing to walk. It's in the same plaza with target. Inside it was slightly crowded but not too crowded that we couldn't get around with our dash cart and our daughters lil shopper cart she took around with us (which she LOVED). The workers were very welcoming, some were either very helpful and detailed while others didn't know much at all. I can see how someone's experience can be bad vs good. I can do how definitely having a Dash Cart (smart cart with the monitor/weigher/scanner) can make someone's experience better. There were quite a few items "out of stock" or food items mislabeled. Prices were also not cheap, more expensive than Walmart or Vons, and maybe less expensive or equal to Whole Foods prices. You had to really look around for some deals. We personally had the dash cart and it was super cool! The cart scans you groceries with the front camera front and weighs it in the cart. Sign into your Amazon account, scan/drop whatever you want to purchase in your "cart", and you get a whole list of what's in your cart and how much you've spent so far! If you decide to remove something, just remove it and it automatically removes it from your "cart" for you! Once you're done with your grocery shopping just roll your cart over to that fast checkout and poof, payment made with your primary card in your Amazon card! If you don't get a Dash Cart, as they are limited, your experience will be like any other grocery store. Get your groceries, checkout at the cashier or self checkout, take out your credit card/phone to pay, and then load the cart back with your items and go. read more

Great service and delivery drive up is amazing various orders were spot on! We would recommend you try it!

Prices are not low, food looks what you will find in target and walmart and any major chain, there is also warm bakery and a serve yourself section. The service, is abyssmal. Or maybe thats just the function of the bussiness. When we wanted to checkout we had to goto the lane physically because the cart would not read my clearance cake item as 5$, because it was past the exceptional sales date. They had us clear the entire cart, re login to the amazon and provide barcode for them to scan then rescanned all our items physically to do the correct price. With few random items around the store being great deals like 98 cents per candy of sweetart strings. Ambiance was chill no one yelling. More like a warehouse. Cement floor. Spacious. People constantly restocking and moving things read more

Idk what all the excitement was about this place opening up they have been open for 3 days and all of their produce is shriveled wilted and old looking. After seeing all of that I just put my stuff back and left I'll drive seven min down the road to Albertsons. I couldn't even get what I needed there because of how nasty it looked. Picture below of what I'm taking about. Ridiculous. And I'll also add Vons and Albertsons is cheaper and have better quality looking product. read more

Amazon Fresh - Grocery Near Me - Poway, California

We waited years for THIS??? Aside from the carts where you can scan your items as you shop and walk out without stopping at a cashier, there's literally nothing great or special about this grocery store. With the exception of a handful of really good deals (i.e. - whole turkey under $10), 95% of what you'll find here is equal or higher in price than a regular grocery store. The salad and hot food bars were unimpressive. Bakery items looked meh. The produce didn't look great. You can return your Amazon purchases here, but you can do that at countless other places. Overall, not worth the hype. I really wish they never closed Atlas Market. At least that market was filled with things not readily available in this area. Amazon Fresh is just a poor imitation of what a real grocery store is. read more
