This is a great little Vons. The staff has been consistently helpful and kind ... even through COVID. This isn't a big Vons and it's not a boujee market. It is a great neighborhood grocery store. read more

I did some grocery shopping, put the groceries in my car, did some more shopping, and came back only to discover a parking ticket on my car. I spoke to the manager, who immediately got all flustered and confrontational, and he said it's my fault since I wasn't a paying Vons customer. I showed him proof of my receipt and he said it didn't matter and that I was in the parking lot too long. He had zero respect towards me and even said I was "lucky enough he decided not to tow my car." The manager is a total tool. I will never shop here again. read more

Where do I even begin? I'll start by saying that I have been to this Vons THOUSANDS of times. Not only did ai grow up down the street from this Vons, but I've been going here for 35 years, and went there when it was then called Lucky's and when it was called Safeway. So I have a right to have my opinion here. Never has the customer service been worse here than it is right now. Firstly, the massive lines they allow to build up because they have either only one or at the most two people on registers, is extremely irresponsible, and will drive away customers. I have no problem going to Ralph's on Sepulveda instead. Secondly, I was just in there today, standing in a line of 8 customers. Only one person on a register. A new cashier (whom I have never seen) comes out from around the corner of another register and asks the woman BEHIND me to come over to her register. I had not set my stuff down. I spoke up and said, "I'd like to checkout, I'm in a hurry." Then she gave me a dirty look, went EXTREMELY SLOW and was awkward the whole time. Btw, it's the middle of Summer, a high tourism time. They should have people on each register. This is not just the cashiers. It's also the people who work at the deli. No customer service or sense of urgency. read more

This store has the best California wine selection in the South Bay.. at the best prices! If you are looking for a Clos du Bois, not the norms but a special reserve, they have it! Also a great selection of beers, from microbrews to all the European specialty brews. What makes this place tops are its excellent customer service. I have supermarkets 6 blocks from me, but I drive the extra 10 minutes to shop here. read more

We decided to stock our hotel fridge with snacks, beer and goods and stopped by Von's on our way back. I love that I can get everything I need and still use my Safeway Club Card even away from home. read more

A painful experience every time. Soooo slow. Too busy complaining about their jobs and lives to customers I guess. Literally had to leave my items and walk out from frustration so I wouldn't be late to work. Add 2 more checkers or a self check out, please please please. read more

2 Stars This place is tiny, isles are 1/2 the size of regular grocery stores, and the selection on a lot of things is limited. Service is friendly though. read more

So appetizing. Decided to take my lunch break here at our local vons and my decision making is apparently worse than the food and customer service at this particular vons. I asked for the meal and she looked at me as if i were stupid and had to look at the menu. Maybe it was her first day who knows but its safe to say i wont be coming back. read more

Vons - Food - Grocery Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

In general, this is a good store in spite of the fact it's so small. They recently remodeled and that helped a lot with the selection. The prices here tend to be on the very high side however. The service at the deli counter was mediocre at best. We got some chicken there that was completely dried out and like jerky though, and I thought I better warn folks about their deli counter. The poor fellow working there really didn't seem to know what he was doing or anything about a deli in general. Because it's pricey, we only go in occasionally, and we can walk there which is good because even though they have their own parking, it is such a nightmare getting in and out of downtown Manhattan Beach. read more

This is such a horrific Vons, I don't even know where to start. It always feels dirty and disorganized. The inventory is shoddy and missing stuff. For example, they didn't even carry Mach 3 razors. The produce seems tired and in my opinion looks as old and beat down as material salvaged from some other market's dumpster. Much of the store and inventory appear straight from the early 1990s. It is so strange to have this level of crap right in the heart of downtown Manhattan Beach. This looks like a Vons you'd expect to find in downtown Cudahy. Vons needs to step up and investment some serious money to upgrade this place and make it a proper, upscale market. Or better yet, just sell it to Whole Foods or Ralph's, who no doubt would clean this operation up. 2 stars because the staff try hard and do their best and are friendly. This is not their fault. read more

Not a huge Vons fan. I'm writing this for the guy in the hot food section. Sir, thank you so much for making me a breakfast burrito after the 11am cut off time. You have done this for me twice in the last month. Once last Saturday and then today. You were kind enough to ask me if I wanted one after you saw the disappointment on my face. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I didn't get your name, but I will make sure to update this review with it when I see you next. read more

Very cool Vons to shop at when one is by the beach hanging out. My friend and I needed to get some cords for our phones, but since they didn't have any, we ended up getting cheap flip flops for under $10 bucks as well as some groovy soap for showering after playing in the ocean. Lines aren't long either. Customer service was also great and we were directed to the right place where cords for our phones would be. read more

This Vons has been here for many years. Yes, a small store, but as a local, this place is great. A good selection of all kinds of food, alcohol (huge wine section), etc. While it might be a "small store", consider the alternative - without crossing Sepulveda Blvd. No other "corner market" will get you this selection at these prices. Too, most of us at the beach grab just a few days worth of food at the store anyway. The security is there to keep the beach goers out, so people can shop. If looking for parking, check out the new parking lot under Metlox ... lower tier meters go up to 8 hours. This place rocks for us locals in MB! read more

A truly local supermarket, because the parking is horrendous and makes driving there a really annoying exercise. Well, what do you expect - it's Manhattan Beach. I like everyone who works here, especially Monica. She is my favorite. Genuinely a nice person, and has snapped me out of a bad mood before just by being friendly. Wine selection is awesome. Yes, the meat section is small and understocked even after the remodel, but this store has the BEST selection of manager's special meat anywhere. I have stocked my freezer with chicken breasts or pork chops out of the clearance section many times. The produce section has greatly improved. read more

I'm constantly shocked to see this Vons has not even attempted an upgrade. It's definitely one of the smaller ones, so it wouldn't take that much to clean it up. Everyone who works there is super nice, but I only go for absolute emergencies. read more

Was just in 2 minutes ago. Needed to do a refund because store incorrectly charged me. Older lady cashier in lane 3 said ok get in line. A custoemr walked up about same time, she could have helped me first. I feel if it was a white customer they would have been more than glad to help them out quickly. Disappointing. If you think about it I technically was there first. My second transaction was read more

Vons - Grocery Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I stopped by here the other day when it was raining. I was headed to a friend's house and was trying to avoid traffic by staying off of Sepulveda which was backed up as far as the eye could see. The parking lot here was a little tight, I guess everyone else in Manhattan Beach got the email to stock up early because it was raining and would be a mad house all day. The inside was kind of like the outside parking lot, little space and lots of people instead of cars. The selection was good to go. I do dig doing all of my shopping close to the Beach but I am not sold on this place and not totally sure I would come back if I didn't absolutely have to. The staff seemed to have the total beach vibe, not as laid back as Trader Joe's but everyone seemed friendly with smiles on their faces. I am not normally in this area and I tend to think this is a supermarket for people to walk to not drive to. read more

This is the most itty-bitty Von's that ever lived! It's clean and well stocked from what I could see, but I cannot expect much in the size department in manhattan beach. Everyone was nice and the parking lot was just big enough. read more

This place is a giant freezer Very limited selection, very cold temperature so bring a jacket (seriously dress warm). Great parking for downtown manhattan beach. Obviously a pre-gentrification leftover. If you need something quick Vons is there for you. read more

I really want this store to be better, but its not. The location is perfect for the area but the store is greatly lacking for a major chain. The shelves are never stocked. The popular items run out and the space stays empty for the rest of the week. The packaged items in the produce section are expired. The workers do not seem to enjoy their jobs. This place could use some new management and staff. read more

I came to this Vons with an injured foot and had it wrapped up in gauze. I proceeded to use the handicapped scooter seeing my situation and the store supervisor rudely asked "do you need to use that". A customer laughed at me, I guess because they saw a 21 year old man trying to use a scooter but that shouldn't justify the negative attitude. I tried pleading my case but the supervisor ignored me. Upon checkout my girlfriend was paying and the cashier began flirting with her as I was putting the scooter away and he rang her up for a wrong item and forgot to void it even though my girlfriend told him to. He was hesitant to give us the receipt to hide his mistake but once we were in the car we realized he never voided the item. We went back in the store to get a refund and could not leave fast enough! Never coming back to this Vons again! read more

Worst service ever! Never enough lanes or checkers. It's 6:35pm, one lane open, 13 People waiting... AGAIN!

Bunch of numnutts working here & most act like their meds havent kicked in. I expect so much more from a Vons in Manhattan Beach. Seafood area sucks no ever seems to be happy to work there. read more

They sometimes sell salad bar food that's still frozen. They sometimes do $5 Fridays which is great, but it's randomly done. When they do it though, you can get a variety of food for this price and it's a great deal. They don't always have utensils ready and they are kind of a mess here. Nope. Not great. read more

Love this little neighborhood store but on a Sunday evening to have lines snaked though the store and only 2 cashiers is not good customer service. Deli was soooo slow and to pay took forever. Since it's getting close to summer hope they add more staff. read more

Poor.service. And if you're chatting in the store they get your.car ticketed because it was in their parking lot for too long. When asked about it they deny and lie, while the police confirms the.store called. Enough said read more

Literally the worst staff EVER working the deli section to make the sandwiches! OMG! They are always sooo rude every time I come in (which is quite often). There are two females that are the rudest. Especially the Hispanic woman. So unprofessional there! read more

Came here to pick some snacks before headed to the beach. Located right on Manhattan Blvd. Gorgeous area near the pier. In stir set up not so great. Looked a little messy and there was a huge spill in one of the aisles. Looked like someone's coffee. No employee in sight to clean the spill. Told the cashiers while checking out though. Also go myself a sandwich from the deli. If I knew it would take that long I would not have bothered to order a sandwich. Think they were quite short staffed back there. Next time getting subway. read more

Horrible service. Came to get something from the deli section but no one was there. Waited 5+ minutes, made eye contact with one worker but was ignored before asking for help. They called "Laura" to the section. She's rude, lazy and I've heard the same complaints from other customers. read more

Sakeena is a wonderful florist who was very helpful, warm and inviting. She puts together a very nice bouquet of flowers. This Vons usually has some pretty good quality flowers, so they are a great alternative to the more expensive flower stores in the area. You can't go wrong here for your last minute flower purchases! read more

I've never been to a supermarket with such great service like this. The produce guy came up to me asked me if i needed help with anything.. and i asked him where the avocados were. He actually walked me over there and picked the ripe ones for me. NICE GUY! Then i went to the Poultry section and another guy asked me if i needed any help... and blah blah blah he pointed me out to the bacon. EVERY SUPERMARKET SHOULD BE LIKE THIS ONE! Great service FRESH PRODUCE and meats. read more

The deals are ok, but the quality of service at this store trumps any positives that it may have. Every visit of mine has been treated by the staff with unnecessary rudeness, especially my most recent. I was here with friends to look for a quick bite to eat, as well as just look around the store. From the moment we walked through the doors, we noticed the staff keeping a suspiciously close eye on us for no apparent reason. As we walked around, we finally decided to go eat somewhere else with a better selection. As we left the store, also getting ready to return the items in our cart back into the aisles, the staff questioned us, almost as if they had suspected us of shoplifting. We denied of course, as we were not at the store with the intent of committing such a serious crime, and rather just looking for a snack. A male employee, who we assumed to be the manager, and one female employee working the checkout, began sharing rather rude and explicit remarks directly targeting us. They assumed that we were going to abandon our cart, and we began to return the items. Even while returning the goods, the staff continued to exchange explicit and frankly inappropriate comments with us. After returning the items, we left the store as the disgruntled employees rudely continued their remarks and watched us leave. Never have I ever seen such an unseemly situation at a grocery store. Neither I, nor anybody who I am close with, will ever be visiting this location again, and I advise that those reading this review do the same. Completely unacceptable behavior from a completely indecorous establishment. read more

Let me start by saying- I really like Vons. I don't know, maybe its the bigger selection of Organics compare to other chain supermarket, or the people are just friendlier. Who knows, but my most favorite part of this Vons is their floral section. Its SO easy. I just popped in the other day to grab a bunch of Gerber daisies for my friend, and the selection of colors was awesome! The gal at the counter was super helpful and friendly- and helped me find a card too. Love Vons. read more

Lines get out of control sometimes. It's smaller Vons, with limited items. Closes a bit early too, compared to other locations. Staff is great though. Very friendly. read more

This place is like Dr. Seuss worse nightmare. In simple words, this place sucks! Very limited and overcrowded. Staff is short handed too

The Manhattan Beach Vons is such a wonderful little store. 99% of the staff is knowledgeable, helpful and professional! There is one manager however who is rude and unwilling to be helpful. Kimberly A was so unpleasant and condescending to me that the unknown person in line behind me stopped me in the parking lot to console me. I am sure Von's would not want someone with her poor customer service representing them. But don't take it out on the store shoppers. The baby Vons is great. But beware of Kimberly A if you are a customer looking for any customer service. All you might get is a insincere, condescending, "have a nice day" repeated 3-4 times as you walk out the door disappointed and bewildered. read more

If there were negative stars I would give them. This review is not from one experience but from two years frequenting this location. Apparently the issues in this store stems from corporate, I am not sure if this store is the ugly step child or if Safeway literally does not care. It would be completely understandable if this store was under staffed during the summer, when it's heavily trafficked by local and non local tourists, however they are under staffed year around. Their product selection is extremely generic and their fresh foods is almost non existent. With a prime location and a monopoly on the market, this store could do phenomenally well. In order for that to happen, they should start listening to their staff as well as their customers. Sincerely, My first negative yelp review. read more

Love when Dan is on the register because he's the sweetest! Always in there because I work in the area and I love seeing him!!!! Thanks Dan, you're awesome! read more

Nice Vons near Manhattan Beach, good stop to pick up a quick snack at a decent price. They have a legit little sandwich corner where you can make your own sandwich for around $5 so that was great! They also have premade sandwiches and other snack foods like hummus and salad which are good to grab and enjoy on the beach or just nearby. read more

Remodeled a while ago. No sad veggies anymore, which is very good! No longer apealing wine section to me though.
