I stopped in this Vons in the morning to pick up some tea, lemons, and a few other items. I found the dandelion tea and the lemons quite readily. I also picked up some chickpea pasta that was on sale. I did notice, as I browsed, that many of the shelves had not been restocked. They must of had a busy evening the day before, since I was there early in the morning. The service at the cash register was friendly enough, but not much for conversation.

Parking attendance had to assist after grocery cart was locked electronically.

I recently shopped at this vons and was very disappointed at some of the decisions they have made to alter how people with disabilities access their store. They have instituted a new technology system that will prohibit your cart from entering a certain sections of the parking lot. As I was coming out of the store, my cart was only 5-7 feet away from the store entrance when suddenly the breaks were activated on my cart. I had to leave my cart and go into the store to ask for help. I was told about the new system and was appalled. This was not a system to protect carts from only leaving the parking lot but to prevent carts from going anywhere outside of the YELLOW LINES which limit where you can park your car to buy groceries. As a person with a disability , this is a huge inconvenience and limits my access. This is an outrage and an unintelligent move made by this store.

Have been to this location a handful of times, first visit this year! It is located across from Rohr Park on E Street which turns into Bonita Road in Chula Vista. It is located in a shopping center with McDonald's, Dominios, Rite Aid, Baskin Robbins, A cleaners, florist shop and several other businesses. This location is smaller and a bit on the unremodeled - older side. Havent purchased liquor at the cabinet lately to see if it is still locked with no button or way to call for assistance. In any event this location is clean and while small it is well stocked with Essentials and has a built in Starbucks!! Who doesn't love that! You can check your Vons/Safeway App and more times than not there is a $2 Grande Any Drink coupon available!!! The best part! Staff is friendly, have never had a bad encounter. Have been here during busy times and not so busy times. They do have a couple of self-pay registers available as well. Parking is a bit crammed as Vons shares parking lot with a dozen other retail locations.... but we've never had too much trouble being able to park within a reasonable time.

Skin?

When you buy boneless, skinless chicken breasts and you get home and unwrap-YIKES!!!! I thought it was skinless. Bought literally a whole chicken breast skin with my order.

Wow, this is a well kept secret here in Bonita California…read more I highly recommend coming here to experience the smoked tri-tip. I had the pleasure of getting a tri-tip quesadilla and it was absolutely delicious. My husband got a tri-tip torta sandwich with avocado and lettuce, etc. Each of your food items comes with a canned soda. I like how you order what you want, then you come to the front and pay for it, so that you can see other things that you may want to buy. Also, you can also add drinks, chips, or other snacks to your order. You can also get whatever you need because they have a convenient market inside of the establishment. Then after you pay, you just go back to the deli counter and you wait for your order. We waited about 10-15 minutes and it was well worth the wait. The tri-tip meat in my quesadilla was very perfectly flavored and the smoke taste was on point. It was so tender and delicious. Bonus situation because this is a wonderful high protein meal. My quesadilla was so big that I was able to save a tiny bit for the next morning as my breakfast. My husband enjoyed his tri-tip tortoise as well. I definitely want to come back and try their other items as they have a full Mexican food, menu, full deli, full butchers counter, and delicious sides available for purchase. Overall, excellent first experience for me.

We visited this location several times in August. What was so cool this August was that they had…read moreseveral new fall decor items as well as a beautiful floral section. I know that the florist recently retired sometime last year so the new staff that's doing the floral arrangements has really stepped up the area. The arrangements are fresh and they're very appealing and they just look great compared to how it looked after that person retired. I also am noticing that there are a lot of summer items that are reduced, which is pretty good. You can find pool floats, beach inflatables, beach balls, and all types of summer items here with reduced prices during August. These items will probably stretch over into September as well. As I recall last year, I was able to purchase six beautiful patio furniture chairs for just six dollars each. So they really do a good job of having merchandise on sale when the season is over. They also have the Pokémon series candy on feature in the displays. These Pokémon featured candies are hard to find, as I have some nephews and nieces that have been looking for them all around the city. I did notice a lot of teenagers coming and shopping the Pokémon candy series here at this location. The good news, however, is that they have so many in stock that it shouldn't be a problem finding them here. The staff is always nice and they try really hard to make sure that they're customer service oriented. Overall, this is a very highly reliable location and they seem to have everything that we need in stock. There are always shopping deals and they're always seem to be enough produce items that are fresh. Thanks! Check out my photos of the florist area because it's really been improved.

This is one of the most deceptive acts in retail when buying meat!…read more Nice looking meat on top when you unpack the bottom is a thick layer of fat! At $11.99 per lb you are paying for one lb of fat! Never bring food back if I didn't discard my receipt this would be going back.

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

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.

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.

The only thing that I could not find was Collard Greens. Everything else was in abundance here. I think that next year I will stop here first to get the majority of my shopping done. The Honey Baked Ham place is a couple of door down so it's convenient to pickup from there after or before shopping here like I did. Thanks!
