    an empty parking lot
    Dulce R.

    This smart and final is located off of Highway 54 in Spring Valley and next to Target. The shopping complex has also gained a Starbucks and Chick-fil-A as well, which makes the parking a bit busy at times. When the store was brand new, it was clean and nice. The store is still clean, but I find that they are low in stock for certain items, not sure if this is an occurrence with all Smart and Final chains but it has been something I've noticed lately. This location is convenient when I am headed to my friends house since it is on the way. The stairs walkway from the street should be avoided, as transients have urinated there or are typically around that area. Otherwise, I can't ever recall having any bad experiences with staff.

    Well, they have wine, that's good...

    I stopped in this newly opened Smart & Final Extra after work on my way home to pick up some water, but as usual, I left with more than just the water. The store was very well organized and moderately busy when I arrived. I really liked their black carts, because they were very sturdy and had very good wheels. I was able to pick up a couple Crystal Geysers 35 packs of 16 oz water bottles at $3.50 each. They had some great prices on paper goods, so I picked up some bowls and plates. I also picked up some chicken legs and ground pork at a very reasonable price. This store has a very nice meat department, a great produce department, including an organic section, and a large wine selection. Their prices are very competitive, but as in any store, you need to shop to find those great deals. Also, you do not need a membership, so anyone is welcomed. Customer service at the register was very good. The lady was a good spirits, she was quick, and I was out the door in not time..

    Spring Valley. We come here once in a while. Today I came in to get lunch for the family. Nice big size Smart & Final. Lots of parking in front. Best to go here in the day time. From my experience, there can some shady looking people hanging out late at night. So be alert. Our cashier Pearla was super kind, nice & friendly. There's construction next door, not sure what the stores will be. But at least there will be more shopping places in Spring Valley.

    Bread, croissant bread, croissant, Mahler bread

    Smart and final is my go to for grocery shopping. Also, All of the Mahler breads are amazing. The croissant bread is a must try.

    See all

    A few weeks back I was hanging out with an old friend and as we started discussing lunch, poke came…read moreto mind. It sounded good but we also weren't really feeling like going "out" and something that could be delivered or that we could pick up seemed like the better play. All the typical poke places showed up when we searched but none of them really sold us. Well, good thing I remembered that Valley Farm's poke game is strong... really strong. Believe me, I know that those of you who don't know Valley Farm will likely say "really?" when I detail that this sleepy little Spring Valley market kicks out poke as good as anywhere else in SD, but it's true. It's a sleeper of a choice but the quality and price will make you a fan, trust me.

    Valley Farms Market is one of San Diego's hidden gems. From the moment you walk in, you can feel…read morethe difference. The store is clean, beautifully organized, and filled with high-quality products you don't always find at larger chain grocery stores. What I love most is their fresh selection, especially the produce, specialty items, and unique gourmet finds. Everything looks vibrant and carefully displayed. You can tell they take pride in what they offer. They also have a full butcher shop with everything you could desire. The selection is impressive, and it's wonderful knowing you can get high-quality cuts prepared fresh right there in the store. It adds such a personalized, old-fashioned market feel that you just don't see everywhere anymore. Another favorite of mine is their fresh-pressed cold juice blends, which I absolutely love. They taste incredibly fresh, and you can truly tell the difference in quality. It's such a treat to grab one while shopping. The staff has always been friendly, helpful, and welcoming. It truly feels like a neighborhood market where customer service still matters. Whether I am picking up everyday essentials or something special for a gathering, I know I will find something wonderful here. If you appreciate quality, variety, and a pleasant shopping experience, Valley Farms Market is definitely worth a visit. I always leave happy!

I get a lot of flowers here so I told the lady I charge of the floral dept about my issue and once she had determined the exact type of flowers I had handed me a "today fresh" bunch so she gets a five -the store gets a one, hence the three star rating.

Today, I was looking for baby items. The entire aisle was empty! I asked a woman in the pharmacy for help and she asked around then said she'd look with me. We found the relocated baby aisle and she let me know the store will undergo remodeling. I think it's great because it could use a new look. I do think they should've had a sign posted about the relocation as well as the sign posted about where to find formula. Ambiance is nothing special storewise and occasionally there are some nasty customers. For instance, a guy was walking around visibly sick and huddled over then sneezed without covering his mouth and I could see all the nastiness fly out of his mouth. I was so disgusted. I like the sales and the ease of self checkout. The lines can get long if multiple people need assistance at self checkout. I like what I assume is security at the entrance/exit. I've seen one follow people around. I also like using instacart pickup or delivery with this store. It's helpful when I'm busy and don't want both kids in the store shopping.

    This is not my first time experiencing this…read more I only come here for things that are for the home and snacks.But for some reason, I decided to come here a few times to try to get a meat for dinner. The last time I bought frozen chicken wings and when I got home, I can't even describe what parts of the bird was in the pack.And today, I went and got a pack of pork chops, and the smell when I sliced the package open was unbearable. When I went to take the chicken back, they were like if you didn't have the receipt, there's nothing they can do about it.Which is insane?The packaging was there.And today, I happened to have the receipt for the pork chops, and as soon as I sat the bag in front of the cashier.She immediately covered her nose. She went and got the manager who's in charge of the meat, and she specifically said that that package of meat has been sitting since yesterday. Sitting where I have no idea, but you could tell it was sitting somewhere that was not cool. The only reason I got my refund is because I had my receipt. They literally have a store in our community, and they're selling old and nasty meat.

The owners are quite rude at times, being selective as to whom they want to say "hi" to. You will be ignored if you are not their "favorite " customer. A lot of times, the price is different at the resister so, be careful. There are more than a few occasions, they double scanned my items so, another thing to worry about. I will receive a receipt just to make sure. There are a lot of employees came and left, makes me think that management is not good, but who knows.

So I got 2 scoops and when rung up at the counter, I was told it was 13.98. Of course I paid it because I had already gotten it and didn't want to be rude. Blah. That and had to wait 20 mins to park in this establishment because they were towing a Tesla in the lot. Left such a sour taste in my mouth. Edit: You can look for my car in the parking lot circling around 10-15 minutes working around the tow truck, even waiting in the lot and then moving as other cars were trying to navigate their way around the lot. The food here is good that it was worth it in my eyes even with this inconvenience. I drive all the way from East county to come here because there aren't other spots like this. Regarding the incident, I can easily provide Life360 map pictures to show my drive, route and duration if you would like actual proof. I was told that the 2 scoops would be 9.99 by the woman. The single scoops are 6.99. I'm aware of this. I asked that the 2 scoops be in 2 separate cups so that my friend and I can share - not that I got 2 separate single servings. Then I got rung up at 13.98 in the front by the cashier. But you know what.. Good to know that this is how you respond to people as a business owner; it's actually so sad that you responded the way you did because instead of looking for clarification, you decided to say that I was not being honest.
