This older woman tending testing cart for hummus dip near fridge section and some women around her were bad- mouthing people pushing through to check food on fridges. Other people do not need to push through if you all don't block people way and traffic. Bad mouthing people is not part of your job and service. read more

This is the local Costco. There's a huge lot here but honestly it's pretty hard to get in and out her depending on the direction you're coming in from. The gas station is also way in the corner and hard to access during a busy day. Typical Costco rules, avoid weekends and potentially even weekday evenings. Recently it's been almost impossible to get eggs and there's exclusive hours long line just for the eggs. The service here is pretty good though. Although it's so busy, the workers are always kind and do their best to help. This Costco has the same seasonal selection as other Southern California locations, but it's different than what I've seen in Northern California in Seattle. Most things are a great value but not everything is always the cheapest so definitely do a comparison. Luckily you will have a strong return policy in case you need to make any returns read more

Had a horrible experience at this Costco, very dismissive employees. Manager Hilario is very unprofessional, and escalates small inconveniences and threatens to "take my card" and falsely accuse me of fraud. Very unorganized, for sure need to close this location. Hilario for reference (below)! The bald one read more

I purchased 4 tires for my truck online. The cost was comparable to other tire shops I got pricing from. I made a 1pm appointment and arrived on time as scheduled. The shop bays were full and the crew was working on other customer vehicles. My truck was not touched until 2pm. Very disappointed that they cannot keep a schedule as if my time doesn't matter. The guys were friendly but the system is broken. Alhambra Costco. A hour later, after leaving Costco, I noticed that both right rims had deep tool marks on all spokes. I returned to Costco to file a damage claim. Two weeks later and still waiting to know how this will be resolved. read more

On February 21, 2025, during my grocery shopping, I encountered a gentleman who was very polite while I was at the checkout. However, the cashier was quite rude; she did not greet me, which I could overlook, but after scanning my items, she stood there seemingly daydreaming, failing to inform me of my total or how to proceed with payment. I felt compelled to suggest that she should smile more. Her Op#313. I feel very discriminated read more

Don't get Costco appliances. I've been waiting for days. The drivers lied twice and didn't show up. Holding to cancel my membership.

Cafeteria is being managed terribly. I called in and asked to place an order for just one pizza for a work lunch and the woman on the phone told me they are not taking phone orders. Instead to just come in because it's first come basis. I said okay and asked what the wait time was looking at, she said everyone is getting their pizzas right away. Sounded good to me. I showed up within ten minutes, placed my order at the kiosk and began my wait. It's been just over one hour that I've been standing in the sun waiting for my order. I'm writing this review as I stand around waiting in this massive crowd of people waiting for their orders. If there's a huge crowd, and your backed up with food taking an hour plus to receive just say so. I've since compromised my lunch break at work and have a new problem to worry about. On top of that, I've heard at least 5 people come up and pick up telephone orders. Why were they able to place phone orders for STACKS of pizzas, yet I was denied to place an order for just one? What's going on Alhambra Costco? What do you need from me in order to place a simple phone order? Costco will be the last place I pick up a pizza from now on. read more

06/27/25 I went to get 4 new tires, I was helped by JIMMY C, he was amazing, all the great help he did was beyond anything I have experienced, he was amazing, he got me the best deal on the tires, presented every single option, not only did we get the order in he gave me the best time to go in and put air in my tires, he is amazing!!!!! read more

Super busy. People line up before 10am to go shopping. Very crowded compared to other locations. They have eggs if you come early.

I made several mistakes today and customers service representative were very nice, helpful and understanding. I appreciate that from a store. I did have a concern with them speaking Spanish to the other staff about my acct and I don't understand Spanish but for the most part I'm thankful read more

Just wanted to give a shoutout to the bakery for making my sisters wedding cake. It was really easy to order and pickup. We just filed out the paper with what we wanted and when we were going to pick it up. Make sure to order ahead so that they have time to complete the order. I would say that for 24.99 the cake was pretty worth the price. It was also really yummy. read more

An efficient, no-nonsense location of the highly ubiquitous Costco Wholesale chain. Unfortunately this location does suffer from higher influx of individuals than comparable Costco's at other SGV locations, and often seems even more hectic than typical, although it appears to be improving its staffing to customer ratio in response. Frequently well-stocked and accessible, this location does serve its purpose of providing affordable deals to the larger public. read more

I have a membership and probably not using it to its max potential. I do like the update at the food court where you can purchase food at the kiosk and wait in line to pick up. I do think it speeds up the process. The cashier I encountered today kept pestering me to donate money to charity when I paid for grocery. I said not today and she went on and on about how I broke her heart. I made another purchase right after and she asked me again if I want to donate to charity. I said not today. She said I broke her heart again. I told her that she can't guilt trip me into donating if I can't or don't want to. There's other places to donate to. Costco cashier isn't the only place to make a donation. Sometimes I avoid coming to Costco because of the crowd, can't find parking and odd employees I've encountered. I must ask myself is it worth the wholesale price? read more

I was in the area and needed a few items and stopped by here on a busy Sunday afternoon. At first it was annoying because the line for the gas station extends into the parking lot entrance. Next time I'll enter the lot at the further entrance. After that, had a pretty good experience - there were a lot of Asian food items - guess it was time for mooncakes and there were lots to choose from. We ended up with some French cookies that I can't seem to find in my store and hubby tried a new whiskey at a nice price from the nice liquor selection. We had a nice cashier, Higar. The customer before us didn't know to buy 2 bags of bagels, so he directed her to the plentiful stack by the registers so she didn't have to go back for them. read more

Rudest people I have ever encountered are the customers at this Costco. It's so bad I won't even go anymore, I make my husband do it bc I can't stand being shoved out of the way for free samples or run into without so much as an excuse me or sorry. The sample section is vicious and people line up clogging the aisles for a free chip like they've never eaten before. Worst Costco ever. Don't even get me started on the parking lot- if I'm ever in an accident I bet it would be here. read more

Costco gas needs membership card first then Visa Card. It used to be Amex but changed over the years.

I have been a Costco member since 1995, back when it was still Price Club, but my recent experience with Costco Tires in Alhambra, CA was very disappointing. I called at 9:00 AM on a Sunday and spoke with a representative who assured me that my Tesla tire (with a nail in it) could be repaired, even though I didn't buy it from Costco. Based on that, I went in at 10:03 AM, spoke with an employee named Mario, paid for the service, and was told again that the tire could be repaired. However, almost three hours later (at 12:43 PM), I got a call from another rep, Jerry, who informed me that my tire couldn't be repaired because it wasn't purchased from Costco. This was a complete waste of my time and shows a lack of coordination and care for customers. As a long-time member, I expected better. Costco's service used to be reliable, but it seems like they no longer care as much about their members. read more

This is my home local Costco. I swear this is the busiest one in the world! No matter what time of day or week.....it's always non-stop action. However, all the employees at this location are good with service and efficiency due to their consistent busy workflow. I am and will always be a big fan of Costco and it's own Kirkland brand. The name just represents quality you can trust. Here's to another $100+ saying goodbye to my wallet.......because you can never step out of a Costco without spending a minimum of one hundred bucks! #iykyk #costcolover #lpguy #iseeyou read more

I always believe stellar customer service is so difficult to come by and should be acknowledged!!! See this beautiful girl with the dark hair? She offers stellar, STELLAR customer service take notice Costco....she is a gem. The gal with the red hair, maybe she was just having a bad day. That can happen to anyone of course. Her customer service was wholly lacking. She was not interested in working or helping. Maybe an off day, time will reveal more. Thank you read more

I understand why everyone says this Costco is the worse in sgv. I stayed in line 5 hours on a Monday to get a tire they didn't have my tires in stock after they already took my keys and made me purchase the tire. They told me to come back 9am on a Friday just for the people to stop me in the front. Have to deal with a manager who was super nice. But the employees they hire especially the one in tire center are rude. They operate like they hate working. God forbid you try to ask them a question . read more

I love everything about Costco. I like the variety from the store every Costco specializes in different items depending on the demographics. The staff is super friendly. If you're unable to find something, they'll assist you in looking at surrounding Costco's in the area you get the most bang for your buck whenever you shop at Costco. read more

I did my best not to mention any taboo words, but I must talk about the pizza I had at Costco in Alhambra. As I mentioned in my last review for this Costco, I both love and hate it. Now, I hate it even more. Just take a look at the pizza I had; it was definitely the thickest crust I've ever encountered. Not only was it thick, but it was also not yeasted well, making it hard and sticky. How could a pizza turn out like this? It's Costco, the company that sells 100 million slices of pizza per year. You must be kidding me. They say that once you experience bad luck, you're going to win the lottery. But I forgot to buy a lottery ticket, so maybe I just missed out on a million dollars! COSTCO, you owe me. read more

It's hard to beat Costco when comes to deals but I'm guessing the low reviews here are more related to the madhouse of all the customers that shop here rather than the store or store employees. Where else can you get great deals on food, electronics, tires, contact lens, clothing, HVAC units, car batteries, gift cards, toilet paper, gasoline and Kirkland brand 6 times distilled vodka??? Of the SGV Costco locations, the Alhambra location may be the craziest one because of its location. One thing that I hope Costco will add to this location that's at other locations like City of Industry is the self order/pay kiosks for the food court. That should help speed up the massive lines for pizza and hot dogs. read more

I'm boosting the stars as overall, they are duly worthy. Most all employees are motivated to be of help and tend to have an optimistic and favorable disposition, despite the frenzy of this most busy Costco that I've ever been to, and trust me, I've seen some crazed Costcos! I removed a star because of William a front loader cashier who has the most rotten attitude I've ever had the unpleasant opportunity having to be subjected to at Costco; he's truly cantankerous (i.e., no greeting, eye contact, nor thank you's after ringing myself or woman in front of me up), and he's Costco's official 'Oscar the grouch'! William is incongruous with Costcos normal overall attitude, willingness to assist, and treatment towards their customer's. His pic is below so steer clear of his line at all cost. He doesn't serve Costco well and may be a strong contributor to this locations most horrifying ratings. On a happier note, I was impressed how well stocked this Costco is and being fully loaded with whatever item you need. Besides William, I was greeted and welcomed by at least 8 Costco employees with pleasant demeanors. read more

Another bad experience here last week. I lost my husband's bank debit card, called Costco Alhambra the next day and they said yes they got it and that someone turned it in. Guest what, came today, about a few days later and they said they don't have it. Whom did I spoke to they asked. What...seriously, come on! Isn't there a lost and found bin and that valuable items are locked up. Bad organization on their parts. read more

Optical Department-when order eyeglasses, the waiting time for someone to call you is very fast. However, when it's time to pick up eyeglasses, the waiting time is super long. I already wait for almost an hour to pick up my eyeglasses. And they kept on calling someone else who came after me. Feel like they just want to sell. Don't care anymore after sale is done. One star for after sale service. read more

I generally do not go to this Costco because it takes some maneuvering to get around in the parking lot and at the gas pumps. It's more centrally located in Alhambra so it tends to a busier location. Combined with a relatively inadequate size parking lot, it can be a nightmare. I like that they've now blocked off the main entrance on Commonwealth to force people to get into the gas station through the entrance on Palm. If I am not going to get gas, I like to enter through the second entrance on Commonwealth, to park where the beloved Souplantation used to be. Parking is typically emptier on this Southeast corner of the plaza and it's MUCH easier to get in and out of the lot. It was pretty packed in the warehouse bus surprisingly the self service checkout line was shorter wait and moved relatively quickly. Staff inside were nice and helpful in helping me scan the heavier items on the cart. After shopping, we picked up a slice of cheese pizza and hot dog with soda. I also got a chocolate chip cookie to try. My friend and her daughter split the pizza. I had the hot dog. They seemed to be out of relish so ketchup and mustard it is. The chocolate chip cookie was nice and warm, a decent size for the price. I would not get this again unless I was going to share because the cookie was thick. I prefer my cookies to be crunchy and the edges were perfect. The cookie offered the best of both worlds as the center was melty and had just the right amount of gooey chocolate. We had leftover cheese pizza but when I went to ask for a sheet of foil to cover it, they told me they were not allowed to give that out so I was surprised. Unfortunately, my friend and her daughter may have gotten food poisoning from the cheese pizza because within an hour or so they threw up. We all sampled the same things so it could only be narrowed down to the pizza slice they shared which I did not partake in. read more

I've been coming to this Costco my entire life , never had I ever experience such a rude employee. I came in with my service dog and this guy was super rude when questioning me if he was a service dog.The first thing that came out of his mouth was "HELLO NO DOGS ALLOWED YOU DONT SEE THE SIGN" SUPER RUDE TO APPROACH A CUSTOMER LIKE THAT! . Two other employees had to grab his attention to calm him down on the way he was approaching me and just let me in because of how rude he was being tours me despite the fact that my dog is a service animal. SMH this employee should not be there he's lucky I kept my self calm and professional and not get on his level of asshole!!!! read more

Coming to this location requires you to prepare mentally ahead of time. Parking is almost always a challenge, and once you're inside the facility, you will play shopping cart bumper cars with the other patrons. That being said, this is my go-to Costco because they are the nearest store, and my strategy is to go either right after the first "wave" of crowds once they open for the day OR late afternoon when parents are picking up their children from school/daycare. When there isn't a long line at the food/drink, definitely treat and reward yourself to their delicious Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie! read more

This is the only Costco where the employees at the return desk act like they own the place and give you a hard time when making returns. They act like they know better than the CEOs of Costco and those who wrote the return policies for Costco and their business models. They make snarky comments when making returns. It's the same old employees that have been there forever. They make customers feel uncomfortable when making returns. They need to be trained better. Like mind your own business you don't own Costco. You collect a paycheck. Because customers like me spend thousands and thousands of dollars each year. read more

COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. Some of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. Some of the staff also wears gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some outdoor seating available with no limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my food from this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is massive; however, they do share the lot with a plethora of businesses in the plaza. I hate coming here during the weekends because it is always jammed packed. If you come here during the weekday, parking is so much easier to find. Also, some parking spots are smaller than others. Be careful where you park. Food: I ordered the large pepperoni pizza to share with my family and friends. Wow. Massive and totally worth the price. Cheesy pepperoni goodness in a box. So warm and tasty. I love this place. Staff: The staff here are very fast, efficient, and friendly. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. read more

I'm giving this Costco a 4 because the employees are good, I love the variety of goods and the convenience. I usually don't have a problem finding what I need aside this visit I was on a search for a sou vie probe with no luck. But OMG!!!!!! The people that shop there are just the rudest people ever! It doesn't matter what walk of life they come from, the theme with all is "get out of my way" attitudes! Shoving through with those big carts acting as if they are the only people in the store and they have VIP status. I have to get in combat mode going though the aisles as I try to get my needs and head to the checkstand area. The customers really ruin this location! Even the gas station area is more civil. All of you that work there should get a metal of honor, seriously... and I hope y'all get paid more than most. read more

I felt like kinda a kid in a candy store coming to this Costco! Whereas Costco one will find grass jelly drink, swallow nest soup, swallow nest drink, Australian abalone, Chinese sausages, American ginseng root (seasonal), Indian madras lentils, steamed bun called bao, tamarind candies, Korean style noodles, soft and hard tofu, etc., all under one big roof in this Costco in Alhambra California! Parking was plenty but traffic coming into this facility was rough & tough. The best time to come will be an hour before closing time. Shhh.. don't let the cat outta bag. being an Angelino, I hate fighting the traffic. But, it is worth it for me to search things what I didn't seek. Surprise is what I seek going there every time to see what new thing I may find to feed my adrenaline rush. Folks, if you feel lonely, this Costco has dates for you; organic desert valley deglet noor dates, that is! Also, I love watching people young and old, rich and poor, all nationalities filing in and out, crowded and yet having fun buying stuff, lots of it! So, come out and scavenge around; perhaps, you may find something new that you may like from the orient that Kirkland will already deliver to you in this very Costco. Prices are a typical Costco wholesale large item price -- very competitive & saving on wholesale. Happy shopping...& buy buy! read more

I usually come across great employees but sometimes there can be one that can ruin your day. Today we came to buy a whole pizza and hotdog combos. We went to stand in line for pick up and we were behind a gentleman with a cart and another lady waiting by the window, when we hear a lady yelling pretty loud "come on come on come over here" (her tone was rude). I decided to ignore her at first because it was not my turn it was the gentleman with the cart. He went and she yelled again when I approached the window she said this is also a line and said something like we are trying to help you guys get your orders faster and I just said it's fine and stayed quite ( in reality I wanted to call her out for being rude but I didn't)! I'm sure she knew I was bothered my facial expressions always speak louder than my words :( Listen "Alejandra" from food court be nice because one day you can come across someone that will match your energy and you aren't going to feel good about it. She did try to play it off at the end by wishing me happy holidays etc but i prefer staying quiet because sweet lord knows im trying to be better! Happy holidays :) Cheers :) read more
