The carrot cake was delicious! Super moist and wasn't too sweet either. The frosting could use a bit more of a cream cheesy flavor but otherwise it was yummy. The original chocolate chip cookie was hot, fresh, and filled with lots of chocolate chips too. There were nuts inside the cookies and the cookie had a good texture. Service was excellent! The workers there were kind and assisted quickly. Would highly recommend Bristol for a sweet treat!

I purchased a cake from Bristol Farms, and unfortunately it was a very disappointing experience…read more The cake tasted stale and had a noticeable refrigerator taste and odor, as if it had been sitting in storage for too long. This was especially embarrassing because it was purchased for a special anniversary celebration and served to family and guests. Given Bristol Farms' reputation and premium pricing, I expected a fresh, high-quality cake. Instead, the cake felt old and lacked the freshness that should be expected from a bakery.

I had a wonderful shopping experience at Pavilions in South Pasadena! From the moment I walked in,…read morethe store felt clean, bright, and well organized. A special shoutout to Melissa at checkout. She was genuinely friendly, engaging, and provided the kind of customer service that's becoming all too rare these days. She made me feel like a valued customer, and it was such a refreshing way to end my shopping trip. The store has an excellent deli and cheese department, including a great selection of Boar's Head meats. Their wine and spirits department is extensive, and the produce is was fresh with plenty of organic options to choose from. Overall, this is a fantastic supermarket with quality products and exceptional customer service. Pavilions in South Pasadena has definitely become my new go-to grocery store. Highly recommend!

The shelves are consistently well-stocked, and I almost always find everything on my shopping list--plus a few things that somehow magically jump into my cart. A special shout-out to the meat department. They regularly have great cuts and surprisingly good specials that make my wallet just a little less dramatic. Now, the staff... they're perfectly fine. But considering Pavilions is the slightly fancier cousin of Vons, I was expecting just a tiny bit more warmth. Nothing over the top--even a "hello" with a hint of enthusiasm (authentic or otherwise lol) would earn bonus points. That said, it's clean, organized, well-stocked, and easy to shop. At the end of the day, that's what keeps me coming back. I'd happily shop here again... and probably leave with snacks I never intended to buy.

Many mini succulent garden plants, and potted plants to choose from! Don't miss their cards, they are so cute!

The selection is not always namebrand but a lot of it is organic so that's good and they also have toiletries and household items. But make sure you check your receipt because they have some new cashiers right now and one girl was double charging me and only gave me credit for one item. She double charge for and another item I got double charged for so now I am trying to call them and their phone doesn't work. Nobody answers and there is no voicemail to leave so now I'm gonna have to go over there probably tomorrow and explain the situation and that they owe me $12. I mean, I always check my receipts usually before I leave the store but I just came from Pilates and I was very tired and hungry so that part was my bad.

Summer 2026 After…read moreyears of trusting this Vons with grocery pick-up and delivery orders (and highly recommending them to many people), I'm finished. They showed they don't want my business, so....they won't have my business. I arrived for a pick-up; the wait seemed a little lengthy for the few cars in the pick-up spots. Then a staffer came out, saying that my order had been given to someone else. Mistakes happen, but that means they didn't check the code OR the car description on the order. Funny, they always checked MY details. It gets worse: I was then expected to wait until the other person returned with my groceries. Who would do this? I asked for a refund and left. Any professional store would have apologized and offered to quickly re-shop the order while I waited. Not this Vons! I called back and spoke with the manager on duty, who treated the situation very casually, completely unbothered. So I'm finished dealing with Vons for pick-up and delivery. I've moved my business to the Ralph's on Lake, where they are - so far - quick, professional and friendly with the pick-up service. Sad. This Vons used to be a really good store with great employees - now it is neither.

I asked two associates where I could find the watermelon and she pointed to the ones outside at the other entrance. I continued to pick up my produce when the male associate with the long hair approached me with one from the back that hadn't been put out yet. What! That totally made my day.

Review is for their app ordering feature and meat department only…read more It's the first time I've used the app to order in advance for pickup but was disappointed. I ordered a rib roast for pickup and was charged for a 21.75 lb roast. When the employee brought it to my car, the vacuum seal on the package was loose and the meat looked brownish-green. I asked if it looked safe, and even he said it looked strange. He helped me put it into a cart and suggested I take it to the meat department for an exchange. When I got there, the meat department first questioned how long I'd had it for the seal to be "loose," then tried convincing me that it was normal and that the packaging never comes fully vacuum sealed. I told them I simply wanted an exchange. The employee seemed irritated but eventually brought out another roast. Then he peeled the sticker off the original roast and placed it onto the new one. I asked whether it was the same weight because the replacement was clearly much smaller. He insisted it was "the exact same thing" since it had the same sticker on it, and told me that if I didn't like it, I could come back tomorrow because customer service was not open today. Got home and the scale reads 19.5lbs (2.25lb over charged). Disappointed in the experience.

Dear Pasadena Public Health Department Environmental Health Division,…read more I am writing to formally report a serious health code violation and unsanitary conditions observed at Ralphs Grocery Store, located at 160 N. Lake Ave., Pasadena, CA 91101. Incident Details * Date of Observation: Monday, July 27, 2026 * Time of Observation: Approximately 3:00 PM * Location Inside Store: Self-serve bagel and bread display cabinet Description of the Violation The self-serve bagel and bread display case was teeming with flies. Numerous insects were actively flying inside the cabinet and crawling directly all over the uncovered food products. I have captured clear video evidence documenting this infestation, which is available upon request for your investigation. Public Health Risks and Concerns This environment poses an immediate and severe health risk to consumers for several critical reasons: * Pathogen Transmission: Flies carry over 100 dangerous pathogens. They easily transfer hazardous bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Shigella from external waste directly onto the food surfaces. * Direct Contamination: Because flies liquefy solid food, they regurgitate digestive enzymes and defecate on the bakery items. This leaves live bacteria and viruses behind. * Ready-to-Eat Hazards: These items are sold as ready-to-eat foods. Consumers eat them without cooking or heating them first, meaning there is no kill-step to destroy the transferred pathogens. This creates a high probability of foodborne illness. * Prolonged Exposure: The enclosed nature of the display cabinet traps the flies inside, leading to a high concentration of continuous contamination on the food. This active infestation indicates a critical failure in store sanitation, inadequate pest control management, and a clear violation of California retail food safety codes. Please initiate a health inspection of this facility as soon as possible to address this hazard and protect the public. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
