    5 stars for selling cigarettes on a UC campus. Pretty decent selection of vinyl records, as well.

    great little place with good and random selection of things to buy, co-op is definitely a plus, couches to chill, old piano to fool around.

    Before 2025 this used to be a great place. This was one of my favorite places to buy food on…read morecampus, their pastries were good, there was a nearby bathroom, it was open late, they carried supplies as well as fast food, and there was a seating area on the south side with comfortable chairs and an outlet (but only one) if you were there long enough to need power for your computer or cell phone. Then came the "upgrade," which closed this place for months. The "upgrade" made the market's standard purchases controlled by "AI." My God, how can a *university* campus that should know something about AI allow this to happen? Couldn't they tell that an AI-driven purchase system would be as faulty as all those self-driving cars that killed the people driving them? Didn't they know the difference between ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence) and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)? Evidently not. With reluctance I began making purchases there again, after they reopened, but with trepidation since there were no paper receipts (Remember: "Paperless" is an improvement, right?! Uh, remember the "paperless office" fiasco of the 1980s?) so I couldn't tell if I were being overcharged or not. Finally I got so nervous about the whole scheme that I began taking the time out to type my e-mail address into their computer before I left, thereby negating the supposed time savings that an "AI" (actually ANI) system was supposed to provide. The first mistake I found was in my favor: I had bought two of the same item, and it had assumed I had bought only one. The second mistake I found was much worse: I had been overcharged $14 for some foods of a type that I never buy. I contacted the appropriate people and received a $14 refund, but this took weeks of watching my bank activity at a significant loss of time. Therefore that was the last time I ever tried to buy anything at Roger's Market: the stress and lost time was not worth it. I see that Sunshine Market in the Price Center has also switched over to ANI--I mean "AI"--so I refuse to buy anything there anymore, either. I also noticed that a few months after my overcharge that a number of Roger's Market employees began to be posted outside of the turnstile, where they continuously watched customers exiting with purchases. That tells me that their system has some kind of glitch that students discovered that allows purchases to be taken out without being charged. More time and money lost by requiring employees to supervise the supposedly smart "AI." The moral: "AI" is not there yet; talk to some professors who are experts in a technology before you rely on a system that uses that technology, lest you find out you actually ruined your working system, not improved it.

The special St. Patrick's Day treat was more sugar than I could handle. Tasted like I was eating a crunchy marshmallow. There ratio of marshmallow was too high for me to taste the rice krispy. The rice krispy treats at Whole Foods just need a little more marshmallow and they would be perfect for me. This treat I was only able to eat half of. *sigh My search for the perfect rice krispy treat goes on. This establishment is nice and fancy looking and the staff was very friendly. I am very impressed by how this place has seasonal treat offerings. Update 4/2/2015 I couldn't resist the cute pink bunny cookie with the brown whiskers. Mmm... The pink sugar crystals taste as good as they look. The rocky texture tantalized my tongue as I bite into the the flaky cookie. This is a very delicious sugar cookie. :-) A timely addition to the pastry case as Easter is 3 days away. :-) Apple tart. I really love a good apple pie where you have a combination of crust, apple, and apple juices. This is packed with mostly apples and a delicious crunchy, flaky crust. A bit too much apple for me... Taste like I'm just eating apple slices. I think I'm not an apple tart fan.

    Pretty decent location. It feels quite larger than the majority of Vons I've been to. The employees…read morecould be a bit more nicer but it's not the biggest deal breaker in the world. Plenty of parking. It's pretty deep. It's in a plaza with other businesses. The store is pretty tidy towards the front and back of it. But when I got to the aisles near the back right and all the way to the right it felt very messy. I honestly just skipped those last three aisles because of it. Looks like they were mid restocking and then just stopped. The dairy section runs alongside the meats in the back. There's a florist that's sizeable as well. Great variety of selection in their clearance dept and their produce / bakery section had everything I could possibly want and more. Super happy with that area of the store.

I have been to this Vons location several times and typically to just pick up a few groceries for a weekend or a random visit to pick up a specific item. I recall visiting this store when Safeway/Albertsons/Vons had their annual Monopoly game way back when and then the Flavor Adventure through the app a few years ago, too. While I haven't taken advantage of the curbside pick-up at this location, I know it is offered here. I do have a membership for FreshPass (which I got last year at the 50% off promotion). There are great sales from the weekly doorbuster sales to daily promotions to Friday or weekend promotions to general sales prices. For approximately $99 per year (or the occasional $49 promotional price), you can sign up for FreshPass, which includes unlimited free delivery on orders over $30, $5 monthly credit for annual subscribers, earn 2X points on our exclusive brands, save 5% on O Organics, Open Nature, or Signature Pet Care, points don't expire, a VIP phone line, and monthly exclusive Starbucks perks. I really appreciate the $5 monthly credit and the Starbucks perks (to buy a grande-sized drink for only $2 every month). Between those two alone, you more than make back when you spend on the program. Even if you don't join the program, you can earn points for every purchase to redeem for free items, store discounts, or gas discounts plus extra points during your birthday month. While I haven't shopped at this store often enough to see trends for better or worse, I have enjoyed the few visits to this location. I appreciate the great promotions for a weekly doorbuster, they often still have the items in stock while other nearby stores no longer do (like $0.97 per pound chicken breast). I plan on continuing to visit this store in the future when I need a quick grocery store shopping stop when visiting San Diego!

Perk is located on the lobby level in the Hyatt, adjacent to the check-in desk. They open early at 5:30am and close at 9:00pm daily. I like that they're open early in the morning, when most other coffee shops are still asleep. They have a mini Starbucks set up. To go with your coffee, tea or other assorted cold drinks are cookies, oatmeal and fresh-baked pastries for those light breakfast mornings. For lunch Perks offers a small selection of hot and cold sandwiches. Pick up small items such as candy bars, gum, mints and get a S'mores kit to take with you to the beach or fire pit. I also saw small souvenirs such as 'fridge magnets you can bring home from your stay in La Jolla. Employee we encountered was friendly enough. Get it :D
