    Kenia is amazing! She deserves a promotion! I just love this store and my interaction with Kenia yesterday just solidified that! The customer service at this location is wonderful, from the sushi chefs (awesome family) to the Starbucks Baristas to the Deli to the cashiers - it's just a great vibe all around! Kenia saw me struggling yesterday while holding sushi (gotta love the Friday special) and trying to grab a pack of La Croix. I told her I didn't plan on shopping but just thought of more items I needed! She says "that is what we want at Ralph's, let me give you this basket so you can do more shopping" I began to tell her that I used to work for Ralph's as a bookkeeper back in 1999 in Orange County. And how much I love the company. It was a great, quick conversation. But I was impressed with Kenia's wonderful customer service, positive attitude and bright personality. She represents this store and company so well! Thanks Ralph's on Palomar in Chula Vista

    Ruined custom cake.

    Do not order a custom cake from the bakery. I'm stuck with this misspelled birthday cake. No way to fix it. The word Birthday has an extra i in it and the frosting is covering the words. This is the last time i am going to order any type of cake from Ralphs. Very disappointed.

    The saving grace is this stunning pre made bouquet. The bad part was that my boyfriend pre ordered me a bouquet to surprise me with for my birthday and even received a confirmation email from Ralph's, only to arrive and be told there was no record of the order. The lady in the floral department was unsympathetic and rude. My boyfriend even explained this is for a birthday, the floral lady never once apologized or offered to remake it as quickly as she could. My boyfriend was fortunate to spot this but with no help from the associate.

    It's just different shopping for groceries these days. It's all self service. The human to human communication is fast ly fading. Not much to say. Just not feeling it. The one guy standing watch was friendly, though.

I never really have a difficult time finding things in stock and they are extraordinary when it comes to calling them for stock checks. Roughly 85-90% of the staff I have ever met here have been exceptionally great to be around. I used to bond with one of the girls back in my early 20s when I started coming here in the late 2000s. I know that it's probably an extrovert part of me, but the people who work here are oddly therapeutic to talk to and they make the day easier with their questions. It feels like a family whenever I talk to anyone working the cash register. I love the quality of everything at Trader Joe's. I even use their skincare. Highly recommended and comparable to large brand names for cheaper prices. I don't know how Trader Joe's always knows how to get with the times, but they do a good job most of the time getting down flavors/vibes. The ambiance is easy to navigate, very straightforward layout. I highly suggest going before lunch time/after school rush. Don't be surprised if you meet your soulmate at Trader Joe's! The bright lights and flowing conversations make it easy to talk to randoms. Please invite me if you do meet your soulmate at this one. The card I sign will most likely be from their clever card section selection. Teehee

    Came here to grab food for Super Bowl Sunday and I am glad I did. This spot is in West Chula Vista…read moreand it is more than just a grocery store. It has a solid hot-and-ready food counter plus fresh pastries, all in one place. Parking: there are plenty of spaces, but if you drive a big SUV or truck, the lanes feel tight, so just take it slow. Inside: clean, bright, and easy to shop. Hot food is right when you walk in (to the right) which makes it perfect for a quick stop. The selection is great. They have rice, beans, pozole, chicken, pork, beef, tamales, fresh fruit, and drinks like aguas frescas. We grabbed shrimp and fish ceviche with chips (fresh and cold, perfect for game day), plus some baked goods and a few things to prep at home. Everything looked fresh and well stocked. Staff were friendly, and the store was kept nice and clean. If you need party food fast or you want a one-stop shop with better prepared food than the usual grocery run, this place is a good move.

    This market went downhill since it opened…read more There was one occasion where a cashier lady ID me for buying a Monster Energy drink. I was well in my late 20s. And more recently, on July 5th, 2026. The website claims that they have churros. I went in on that day and I didn't see any churros in the display. I didn't see any of the workers besides this older lady setting up the Mexican corn cake station. She was in the pastry section so I asked her where I could find the churros. And she laughed ?!? And shook her head with no words. In her weird lack of customer experience way of letting me know, "No." They also set up these yellow metal bars all over the exit. Good luck trying to get out if you're not buying anything. I had to ask this nice lady if she could let me slide through while she was paying. They don't even have those bars in Mexico. I will not be giving this market - my money.

    Omg I love this Sprouts with a passion!…read more First of all.. "Sushi Wednesdays!" The sushi here is good if not better than some sushi spots in Chula Vista. It's pretty fresh and not a fishy taste/smell. They will even take requests. Lately I will call one of my homegirls and yell, "Sushi Wednesdays!" And we will laugh and laugh and make our way over. Do not sleep on chunky cookie time. The singular packed chocolate chip cookies are delicious. Better than some local bakery cookies I have had and cheaper in price, but not quality. This location has my favorite sandwich and smoothie and deli/butcher. They are the friendliest people with hearts waiting to serve and you can tell they like their jobs. They are easy to exchange words with here. The store is clean and organized. I can find way more stuff here than other locations. It is spacious and it has been rare that I have been shopping while it was overly crowded. The crowded area I would say would be the sandwich/smoothie deli during lunchtime for sure because schools/colleges/trade programs in the area will all come and get the lunch specials. The sandwich deal is so smart of them to do because in this economy, it is harder to find a good deal. Back in the day, they used to include sprouts in the sandwiches for free, but now in 2026 I rarely see sprouts sold in stores even. Healthiest smoothie I have had was the green detox, highly recommended. Every single week a different smoothie goes on sale so check the weekly ads for your favorite smoothie. The meat quality is amazing always! I always get chicken, fish, and beef on sale. I have gotten sick before from meats from markets that inject hormones in the meats. I trust Sprouts a lot and have never gotten sick from their raw meats. High quality for sure.

    We decided to stop here for their fresh made deli sandwiches. It was our dinner choice on the way…read moreto the bowling alley. We arrived and went right over to the deli counter. You get a piece of paper with the sandwich choices on it. Then, you fill it out with which: bread, meat, onions, lettuce, avocado, cheese, etc. on it. The sandwich with a bag of Sprouts chips and a water is $6. Sandwich with a bag of chips and a smoothie is $11. We waited about 15-20mins for our 3 sandwiches. There were other customers who also waited this long for their sandwiches, which is pretty disappointing. They have a lot of fresh meat in the butcher's shelf. There is jerk flavored chicken breasts, cajun spice flavored chicken breasts, and many seasoned kebobs. Everything looked delicious. We enjoyed our sandwiches, they were made well. My rye bread was fresh, the turkey meat had good flavor, and the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh. We found a lot of cool things here. Japanese mayonnaise, "Kewpie Mayo". We also saw Lemon Tzatziki Potato chips, we picked up a package of peanut butter cookies on the way out. I hope that they get more efficient at the deli sandwich counter. The time to get a sandwich was way too long.

    I had such a great experience at this Vons on 3/30/26!…read more I've been a bit under the weather so I stopped in to grab some meds. One thing I really like about this location is how convenient the set up is for when you need medicine they have a section right up front near the checkout, so you don't have to walk all the way through the store. It made this trip super quick and easy, and thankfully it was exactly where I remembered it. I didn't plan on doing any shopping, but of course I spotted a few good deals and started grabbing more things than what I came for. I didn't even grab a cart since I thought I'd be in and out, so I ended up juggling everything in my hands. That's when an employee noticed and came over with a basket for me because he probably seen me struggling lol. It was such a small gesture, but it genuinely meant a lot and helped so much in the moment. I really wish I caught his name because his customer service was amazing. All this to say, the store was very clean, the workers were friendly, and it's a really spacious location. Definitely a great experience and I'll be coming back!

    This 1 star review is specifically for my experience ordering a cake from the bakery that was wrong…read moreand sloppy and the way MIREYA (the store director like she likes to remind you 20 times in one conversation) poorly and disrespectufulltly handles the situation. My cake was sloppy, the cupcakes were smeared and the wrong topping, pictures were yellow, and the filling was wrong. We paid over $100 for this order. I called over the next week and a half with no response from bakery and no reponse from anyone in the store as no one would pick up. I have the call logs as proof. I finally got a hold of erin who said the refund was approved by Carrie and to come in with my receipt for a refund. She said to come in and ask for Mireya or Carrie and I would be refunded. I showed up and a nice gentlemen approved the refund and was about to process and Mireya intervened and said no. She made every excuse as to why this bakery job was acceptable: "it was a hot day", "we must have mishandled the order", "it must have been the customer". She was so rude and took no accountability after showing pictures of the cake. She said she was no notified and needed names of who i spoke to. I called this morning and provided names and again more proof and she still denied any refund. I have shown this woman, my receipt, pictures, and names plus call logs. Everything she asked for i provided to show the wrong order as she requests it but she still makes an excuse as to why i am out of my money and received something i did not order. She is rude, unprofessional, and so difficult to deal with. She is not trying to solve any problem. She is trying to be right and mighty throwing in every other statement that she's "the store director and can do what she wants" no matter what others already guaranteed me and what proof of wrongdoing I prove. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BAKERY OR EGO. Your cake will be sloppy the day of and Mireya will take no accountability.
