I came in last night to grab a few items, and at the self check out, I was helped by such a friendly Target worker named Margaret, I believe. She had an awesome purple, pixie cut and such a kind energy! She helped make check out smoother for me, and I really appreciate her kindness so much! read more

This is a Target "Greatland" store, for whatever that is worth/means. Normally I would not see the need to review places like this unless something really stands out here. Well something does.... I'm not single anymore but I know plenty of single guys and enough complain that meeting women at bars, gyms or the supermarket are not working as well as they'd hope. Well, you want to meet A LOT of attractive women in the Costa Mesa/NB area? Head over to this Target on any weekend and loiter around for a while. It is truly amazing the amount of talent that shops at this store. (Not that I am looking but its hard to miss.) Maybe its because until the one that just opened on Brookhurst, it was really the only Target near CM/HB/NB areas so all the ladies had to shop there. So, if you're single and want to try a new place, stop by this Target and give it a shot. One other funny note - a buddy that is not "worldly" per se, recently got married and registered at Target as one of their places. The funny thing is that they registered for stuff like TP, Paper towels, cereal, beef jerky, etc. Pure comedy. Yeah they got dishes from Macy's but they also got 12 boxes of Corn Flakes from Target as well. Classic! read more

This Target is the closet one to my house but I wish there was a better one near by. They have a few nice workers but in general I have experienced more rude workers then nice ones! The 2 stars is just for this location because I LOVE TARGET, this location is just bad! I had a horrible experience with ordering an item to the store and then it never showed up. The lady at the customer service (I believe her name was Mary) was very rude and mean and did not handle the situation very well. I also had another bad experience with the shoe department, the lady was so annoyed that I asked her to help me find out if they still had the fold up Dr Soles ballet flats, which another nicer lady that worked in the pharmacy ended up finding for me! Isn't it your job to help people find things they're looking for stupid shoe lady?!?! The bathrooms at this Target are always very dirty! I would give them a one because of this but since I love Target in general I would hate to rate them so low. The dressing rooms are also usually very dirty, the workers never take other people's clothes out of the room. There's always such long lines to check out! They have around 30 lanes and usually there's like 5 open with about 5-7 people in each! Its not rocket science! This location definitely needs help, they're giving Target a bad name! read more

I tried to exchange a pair of shoes to this target and not only did I waited in line for a long time but the customer service was unprofessional. The shoes were a Christmas present and unfortunately weren't my size, tried to explain my situation but Laura or Lauren, whatever her name is, was too busy chatting with her coworker and just wasn't paying attention to what I was trying to tell her. She just scanned the item and my receipt and goes "back to the card?" And obviously I was confused and she repeated herself instead of explaining what she's doing. I thought she was gonna give me a gift card but instead she didn't say anything else. Obviously miscommunication but since she couldn't do anything else about it, she just said "it went back to the owners credit card and there's nothing much I can do" as she was giving me a "sorry" face. And just like that I walked out of Target disappointed and frustrated. I wanted to use that gift card to get something useful for my family but unfortunately I ran into someone like her. Do better Target. read more

I love this Target for its convenient location. It's right off the 405 and near my usual grocery spots, Marukai and Henry's. It's very large but I feel that most other Targets are getting larger anyways. I guess what sets this one apart from the others is that there's a area for gardening stuff. Today was the first day I visited the food court and I was surprised by the ultra cheap prices! The deals looked really good and I ended up with a PBJ sandwich and small ICEE for $2. The sandwich was pre-packaged and came out of the fridge; it was similar to an Uncrustable but slightly lower quality. The only thing I really wanted was the ICEE because I can never find a Coke ICEE machine nowadays (they took down the one at Famima!!). Too bad the Coke ICEE was really runny and not all that icy -- they could have called it a Slurpee and I wouldn't have noticed the difference. Apparently, we caught the food court at the end the day because they turned off the lights soon after and my hungry eyes watched them throw away left over pizzas and popcorn. SIGH. I might not eat at the food court again because even the 'fresh' Archer Farms food seems like it's all pre-packaged, but I still love this Target. read more

This review is concerning Target's Pharmacy. I love Target for their value, and their items tend to have a bit higher quality level than Wal-Mart. My pharmacy experience here was outstanding. I was given three prescriptions, and unfortunately two of them weren't filled with the correct number. I went back, and Robin the head pharmacist greeted me and took great care of my return. She not only refilled them quickly to the right amounts, she actually was able to price match Costco and give me nearly $50 off my prescription total! I look forward to working with Robin and her staff at the pharmacy in the future! read more

Target and Costco are the devil. You always come in looking for one item and you walk out with a trunk load of stuff you never knew you needed! My advice is to never walk in with a shopping cart or a basket - this will only allow you to carry necessities and you won't over spend. Outside of their ridiculous sales and vast selection of needless items, I'm a fan of Target. Perhaps not the fact that they were hacked and everyone's information was stolen but oh well right? This Costa Mesa location in specific is HUGE (compared to stores in WA). They have everything you pretty much need, food, clothes, entertainment. It's considered a Super Target (i think). read more

Last minute shop brought us to this Target. It quick & easy & we got what we wanted on a Friday night. But the wary thing is the very dark parking lot. Lighting is minimal & you really need to be aware of your surroundings read more

Came in to return a broken product that we had for less then 2 weeks. It was a breast pump and they said "oh, we can't return/exchange once opened. See here (pointing to a sticker on the box)". All I want to do is exchange as we got this breast pump motor as a gift. The customer service agents stood their just saying we can't exchange it. So I went to the Adams/Brookhurst location and they didn't have a problem what so ever. They had a customer first mentality. Loved Juan who helped my wife take the backpack pump back and gave us a new one even though not everything matched up. So 5 out of 5 for the Adams and Brookhurst store but the Harbor one, booooooooooo! Not good customer service. read more

Tried calling a few times to give this guy a shout out but they're probably busy with the whole, pandemic thing going on. Last night my mom and I cam in DESPERATE for a new router because our wifi at home wasn't working. The gentleman who was working in electronics name is Alfonso, I didn't get a last name but he has pretty grey-ish hair and was SO sweet and so helpful and I could tell the poor guy was just exhausted. We all need to be more compassionate towards these essential workers! Thank you Alfonso! read more

This location is an absolute fucking joke. Burn the whole customer service dept. those jerks literally never pick up the phone. Or when they do it's clearly to hang it up without answering. I really hope corporate fires this dept specifically. Literally so worthless. read more

love coming here. Today I found a great deal on a new purse. They must be having some type of clearing out because there are tons of toys 50% off too read more

Oh Target dear Target... You're always there for me for all of my purchasing compulsions may it be necessity, presents, toiletries or movies... Your layout is so well thought out that no matter which one I go to, it's like I've been here a million times... But in this Target, is it just me or is there not a very comprehensive variety (and combinations) of comforters to shams to pillow cases? Maybe just me.. And it would totally brighten my day if you carried V60 protein shake powder and superpump 250. I'd never leave Target... When Target and I are together, Wally-woyld doesn't exist... read more

Like any other Target you have a pretty good selection of everything you already know about, so there's no reason for me to talk about that. I will say that the employees here are great! I was wandering around trying to find a granola bar because my girlfriend had a coupon and sent me on a mission to find it while she was shopping for other things. Consequently it didn't exist at this Target. The reason I knew that is because an employee who was putting things away had pointed me in the direction of the aisle it should be in, and when she saw me again she had asked me if I had found it and I told her no, she then spent the next 3-4 minutes looking it up in the system to find out just in case it wasn't somewhere else in the store. Thanks again for the help, sorry I didn't get your name to tell Target how helpful you were! I went over to the electronics department to scan something to earn points on my Shop Kick app and got into a discussion about Christopher Dorner with two of the employees. I haven't met a bad employee here yet, the management at this Target, based on my experiences, must be doing a great job hiring, keep up the good work! Things you may or may not have happen to you * It may be crowded most of the time; you may get stuck behind 2-3 people who think every aisle was created just for them and won't get out of your way, making you walk around an entire aisle just to get to the same aisle you were just 10 feet down the aisle. * You may have to stand in line behind my girlfriend who has 25 coupons (playfully saying this honey!) However, it's an a ll around great store with helpful people, and good deals. PS: Don't forget to download the free apps that you can earn points toward gift cards, discounts, rewards and i'm pretty sure that you can get a free $5 Target gift card when you use Shop Kick somehow, ask my girlfriend she's the one putting her 40 hours in but doesn't work there :) Here's the apps that may work well for you: Endorse and Shop Kick read more

Virginia has the worse attitude as a cashier I didn't have a pleasant experience with her she's very rude and kept cutting me off when I was speaking to her read more

I drive for uber so i visit a lot of different places. The other night i went to this location to get a coffee and a new charger when mine broke. There was a guy there, i think his name was spencer, he was so so nice and super helpful. He showed me all kinds of different chargers and accessories for my car and helped me pick out the best one i could afford at the time. He seemed to genuinely enjoy his job which is always a plus to see in retail since i work in it too read more

I have been dreading going to target bc every time I have gone in the past looking for something it says they have in stock, it ends up not being there... so today I purchased items online with the idea I would just pick the order up (never having done that before) and the app then said they have a drive through pickup so at 9:30pm I figured what the heavy I'll try it. Felt like the laziest person in the world (we don't grub hub or uber eats mainly bc the restaurants have to give the services a huge cut from their profits and I can easily pickup food) so yep felt pretty lazy just waiting a few minutes in my car for the staff member to bring out my order, place it in the trunk and my shopping trip was complete. Crazy easy, fast and friendly service -covid precautions masks and showing order confirmation through window (they tell you to keep windows up and stay in car). I still feel guilty that they did all the work shopping for me but can see what a great service this is for parents with little guys,people at high risk of acquiring covid/illnesses or someone like me that me that has been looking for these specific laundry baskets for months now-always being sold out when I shop in person. Great service -thank you Target Costa Mesa-you guys are doing a great job! read more

The cashier today, Heather, refused to sell me a six pack of beer because I did not have a driver's license with me. I am 48. I know I look good for my age, LOL, but not that good. So despite being a middle aged man, I apparently cannot buy beer at Target without ID. Heather was inexplicably backed up by her older male supervisor, who had spent the previous 5 minutes in the next line over talking to a 12 year old girl about a bra she was purchasing. I don't know what that was about, but I had to move out of that line because he could not come to a quick conclusion about a little girls bra, but he was super quick to decide that 48 year old men definitely need ID to purchase beer, LOL. Perhaps common sense should prevail in the face of stupidity ... read more

Great location,off Harbor Blvd and major freeways. The store is clean, large, stocked and well staffed. I used to work at this store back in 2001 and it is one of my favorite Target branches. The people that shop here are also very clean cut and normal hahaha. Plenty of parking and open registers aswell. The store also has an easy layout to navigate,which is a plus. I highly recommend. read more

See all

I always take full advantage of their great sales and clearance in all of their departments. I shop for my growing daughter in the girl's clearance section every time I come here since who could afford anything full price nowadays? They have weekly sales like their most recent BOGO 50% off on All Shorts and swim separates for women and girls. I got 4 pairs of shorts and I'm ready for Spring & Summer! The dollar bins or dollar Spot has great miscellaneous items for the home, kids toys, and party favor stuff. When these things go on clearance usually at 70% off it's worth it to hoard items for future parties! This store seems to have lower prices on some items such as toys and things than other locations like the one in Irvine. I also like the fact that they have a Starbucks inside too! read more

I have a love - hate relationship with Target. I love thier huge, clean tempting stores. I hate that I just can't visit and buy what was on my list. I always end up with 10 extra items I didn't realize I just had to have. This target was one of the first nice targets that popped up near me. My local one is the one on Bristol and it isn't as pretty as this one. I like that corporate target started organizing all stores in the same manner so no matter which one you visit 95% of the time the store is laid out in the traditional target manner. read more

I always go to there if I want something because they have everything. For me, this is the best supermarket. I'm very comfortable when shopping there. You guys should go there when you consider buying something for your home. read more

I love this target! Close to home, great customer service and fully stocked shelves. Will be back!

Very well stocked Organized well Staff is SUPER friendly Has a starbucks Has a pharmacy Has a super de dooper eye doctor Also with a red card you get 5% off. Hard to beat there already awesome prices read more

I came to target looking for a specific cranberry juice and was nowhere to be find I told the clerk she called Danny over. A taller male maybe 40-50 and was able to track it down quickly and efficiently. I think he was a manger. Acted as a store director. Very professional. I will only use this target now. They also have cool board games and the black soap I was looking for. read more

Harassment.. the moment I walked into the self check out a lady with short red hair and glasses old as shit btw... wouldn't stop staring at me everytime I scanned an item she would just watch and asked if I scanned my other item?? I finished with one order of things and she proceeded to ask if my muffins were gonna be separate check out. Lady was really out here watching my every move but didn't care about anyone else at self checkout. Proceeded to ask for my receipt to see if I scanned my lemons. I admittedly forgot about my lemons n some of my cup noodles bc my anxiety was so high from someone watching my every move. I deal with social anxiety, this was really bad. She gave me panic attack snorting after this. I'm just wondering why me? To say less she didn't ask for anyone else's receipt she didn't ask anyone else hey did you scan that. Only me. don't have a self checkout then. I go to self checkout to not talk or deal with anyone not to be harassed bc i fucking forget lemons. read more

You know, you claim to be Target Greatland, but to me you are not so great. Your selection of groceries pales in comparison to the plain ol' regular Target stores in Westminster, Jeronimo-Mission Viejo, and Irvine Spectrum, even though you service a much larger lower-income community that could benefit from your low-cost grocery options, AND you have what feels like double the square footage to accommodate an increase in the amount of grocery merchandise on the floor. Poo-poo for that, number one! Next off, for being this "Great Land" you so call yourself, you don't offer any additional merchandise in your store than an other Target might offer. You have the same lamps. You have the same sheets. You have the same lightbulbs... the only difference might be that you have a couple more in stock of everything, but really, I almost never have a problem with Target being out of anything! You're the closest Target to my house by almost 10 miles, so I will unfortunately keep shopping at you, and you're marginally nicer (and less pee-smelling) than the Santa Ana location on Bristol, but damn it, when I have the money to do so, you better believe that I'm cheating on you with Westminster Mall Target and Irvine Spectrum Target!! (Why don't you carry chocolate soymilk!! This is an EPIC FAIL on your part, Target Greatland, and it will not be forgiven!) P.S. -- Your cousin Super Target in Moreno Valley is much sexier than you. read more

On June 15, 2019, I ordered two items online. The second item was never delivered to the store and Target cancelled the order on July 3, 2019. Target charged my credit card for tax even though I did not purchase anything. Buyer beware. read more

After dealing with corporate AND the owner of this store, no resolution has come to the nightmare of a day I had at this location. I know it's a tiny drop in a huge bucket, but I was a loyal customer who spent at least $500 a month at this store. Won't be going to ANY Target again. What would it be worth to you to have your hand full of a strangers feces for 20 minutes and no way to wash it off? Hand sanitizer and a phone call? read more

A Target Greatland, though not one with a 2nd Floor. I've been a fan of Target, especially the larger stores, for yrs, even before I worked for them for 2 yrs, most of that time at this location, from 2002-04.. The prices are right, the quality, & variety, of the merchandise is great, & they have a greatly expanded grocery section since my days working there. I've always especially loved the selection of Classic TV Series DVD's they offer. Hard to believe, but several of my co-workers still are there. There's a reason this review is a 4, not a 5, & it comes from my experience as a cashier, dealing with all y'all doing yer shopping, hee, hee! ;-D In 2003 I wrote my thoughts in answer to these questions: Write about your job: What's it like? Are you doing what you want to do? I hope these thoughts add a bit of a different perspective to my review, and maybe help you appreciate the employees of the stores you shop in a bit more. ;-D ------- I'm a minimum wage cashier for a major department store chain. I stand all day at a lane & ring up the purchases, big & small, serious & amusing, understandable & inexplicable, that you, dear reader, send down the conveyor belt to me in front of the cash register. From 10 cents to thousands of dollars, you pay me your money & then scamper happily on your way. Anywhere from 900 to 1400 of you pass through my lane every wk. Some of you come alone, some bring the baby or toddler, & some drag along every member of the family you can scrounge up, & your dog, & the next door neighbor, too! Many of you can't speak a lick of English, others pretend not to be able to so as to not get into a conversation with me that might lead to you signing on for a credit card, & others I wish didn't speak my language because... well, the reasons are legion. On the other hand there are many of you who make my day a pleasure just through my encountering you. I have to say the same thing to each of you before almost anything else simply because mgmnt requires I do my damndest to get you to start on, or continue on, the long road to credit card debt. I no more enjoy asking you to apply than you enjoy being asked EVERY time you go through my lane. Some of you I remember from times past, but others it's not so easy to remember, so bear with me as I get the preliminaries over with quickly so we can get on to more pleasant an interaction in the time allowed by our brief encounter. This interaction involves ordinary pleasantries, & conversation instigated by my peculiar sense of humor. It also involves helping you find answers to shopping questions, explaining why I have to do this or that with something or other, & sometimes saying just a simple "NO". When I'm not parting you from your hard earned money I'm the one who fills the lanes w/bags when they are empty or low, I'm the one who keeps the side & endcaps at my lane neat & organized, & I'm the one who picks up after you when you leave a basket, cart , or pile of merchandise strewn around my lane. It's a never ending chore, but hey! It makes the time go by faster during an 8 hr shift. I get 2, 15 min breaks during that shift, & an unpaid, 30 min., lunch break, & after resting up & refueling I am ready to deal with you for another 2 hrs. read more

So the male side of me is about to come out in this review. I absolutely LOVE this Target. Yes, it has pretty much everything you've ever needed. Yes it's a Target Greatland which includes a grocery section. But I love it because of it's location. It's conveniently located on Harbor Blvd just a mile or two from my work which makes it very easy to run a few errands on my lunch break. That reminds me... Anyways, having lived in that area for about 4 years prior to moving to Tustin, I am very familiar with this location, and the demographic. I can't lie this place is swarming with beautiful women. It's about a mile from OCC which means the college crowd as well as the OC housewife crowd shops here. I think a couple times I've gotten distracted and forgot what I was shopping for. So my finals thoughts are come here to find anything and everything you want for your home. And try not to get distracted by the view. read more

This review is for their Cafe, I have been to this place many times for a quick lunch as my office is nearby and also love their premade sandwich. The folks at the cafe are super sweet and very well mannered, they will never hand you a sandwich without asking if you want it warmed up. Once I didn't want my sandwich warmed up because it melted the cheese out of proportion, but Tereza there adviced me never to have it without being toasted/heated up as the bacon sometimes could be under cooked, so she made sure the sandwich was toasted well without the cheese and then warmed up the cheese just to the right consistency :) you always feel welcomed here. read more

Super great Target! Took back the coffee grinder we got from here in December that broke w/out a receipt just so we could get another one that will probably break in a month!!! Of course stepping foot in this place meant that we had to get a set of sheets, a dog bed for Fergall, underwear for my Man and mouth wash! Considering the hoards of people milling about, the staff was doing a spectacular job of keeping the peace and moving along the lines all with a smile on their brave little faces! read more

I came here to shop for some last minute things before my vacation. I bought a swimsuit and a few dresses. When I got home I realized the sensor was still on. This is a simple mistake by the employee Noel who rang me up. I returned 2 days later to ask them to remove it. I do not live close by and had to rush over on my lunch break. I went to guest services and told the young girl who helped me "unfortunately I had to come back because the gentleman who rang me up on Sunday did not remove this sensor". She says absolutely nothing. I would have been so happy with a "oh no I am sorry for the inconvenience. Let me take care of that for you!". She grabbed the bathing suit top, removed the sensor and said "here you go". I needed a few more items so I went shopping. When I went to check out, I spoke to a you g woman, Flor. I started to tell her about my experience and she literally acknowledged nothing. I even said "hi, did you hear anything I said?" She literally ignored me! Nuts. I don't expect a lot from target but maybe just acknowledge your customers and provide decent customer service. read more

Another day of great quality service with Charles, thank you Target for hiring amazing people to service your customers!

Such a great setup in this store. The whole thing makes sense. I always spend way too much time in here, and get items I definitely don't need but that's not the point! The store is always clean. If they are out of an item you're looking for you can ask an staff member and they'll check to see if they have any in back. The people are always friendly! The No 7 makeup girls drive me freaking insane every time and I wish they weren't there cause I hate to tell them I'm not interested, but I always do. Just doing their job. I would give 5 stars but the only thing they need to improve on is opening more checkout lines or creating a self checkout. The lines are FOREVERMORE long and typically slow as can be. Always leave happy!!! read more

Great customer service here. I want to give a huge shout out to the guest services department and Melina for helping me out on my exchange for our fitbit. Target needs to upgrade their checkout software but their people are making up for it. I've definitely left happy and am actually doing more shopping here right now. read more

Always & I mean always out of stock. I never go into there & they have what I'm looking for. I shop there at least twice a week. Walmart is just too far away but they are always well stocked. read more

I just had an amazing experience with your guest services team at the Costa Mesa Target. Jessica (manager) made my experience so easy and she really went above and beyond helping me with a return. I had a broken microwave I purchased at target and LG (the brand the microwave was) was not helpful at all, but when I came and spoke to Jessica, she got me everything I needed and made everything very easy on me. She deserves to be recognized for doing more than enough for the customers she's helping. People like her are the reason I come back to Target. Thank you again Jessica, if you see this, for making my week. read more

Being a huge Wal-mart shopper I rarely pop in Target. But this one just happens to be really clean, have a great selection, and although not cheaper than Wal-mart, it's only some cents more, it's closer than Wal-mart, so it's better to come here. read more
