Forget the $5 footlong. If you're headed for a day of UVs and boogie boarding, stop by this Vons deli department and get yourself the Tuscan Chicken sandwich. It is a fine creation of mozarella, a heart piece of chicken, some kind of lickable olive spread, and lettuce and tomato, grilled in a little oven. It is so hearty and affordable, not to mention a piece of toasty Tuscan utopia in my mouth. Minus one star because there is no way to look cute while eating this sandwich monster. read more

I live right by this vons, so prior to the renovation, I frequented the store but only because it was convenient (I would actually make the 2 mile drive up sunset to ralphs more than the 2 min walk to this vons). It desperately needed a facelift and just over a month ago, our prayers were answered and the newly renovated vons re-opened! The store looks great! It actually makes the shopping experience so much nicer and enjoyable. I WANT to go into this vons now. And they've added more to their stock, like quality beers. I can find some of the stuff I used to only be able to get at bevmo at this vons! My only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is b/c their produce department still needs a lot of work. Bravo! You will be seeing a lot more of my face from now on! :) read more

They get one star because you do your shopping in five minutes then wait in line ten minutes. They never have more than two registers open at peak after work shopping hours. read more

I really wish the Palisades had a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods. I don't have any idea why we don't. This leaves us with Gelson's, Vons and Ralphs. They are all just okay. This Vons has a gorgeous, ocean view. It has tables that allow you to eat and partake of the view across the street. Besides this, it is just your average grocery store. I was shocked that a tiny rotisserie chicken cost $9 here, the same as Whole Foods. Costco charges $5 for a much larger and tastier bird. The best thing at Von's is their signature soups. Those are tasty and worth getting. The hubby and I shop here when we absolutely need something and don't want to trek out to Santa Monica. read more

I went there a little before closing time, and the employees were all eyeing me as if they wanted me to leave so they could close early. It was a very unfriendly environment. I also asked the security guard a question, and she didn't even care to answer it properly. I will most likely never set foot there again because I don't live anywhere near this Von's, and I prefer Ralph's.. read more

I called and left a message at 10 this morning to speak with a Manager. I was told she was on a register and would call me back. Its 3:30. No call back yet. So I called the store again but NO ONE ANSWERED THE PHONE! You have to hit "8" to speak with customer service. I hit 8 and after 2 minutes got a message saying that no one was available to take my call and to please try another number (there's no way to leave a message) So I hit 8 again - same thing - 3 times!!!!! I was on the phone for about 10 minutes and never got to speak to the manager (or ANYONE at the 'nonservice desk" and the manager never called me back. read more

When I need a particular dimension baking pan for a recipe, I come here. I searched several markets in the area, and this market has THE BEST selection. It's annoying to try new recipes and not have the right tools, so I love this store for that. Also a great wine selection! As in a lot of variety- I don't know too much about wine. What I do know is that I told a friend I would bring Prosecco to a party, and then I came here and had about 5 different options. read more

This grocery store is the worst. They are under stocked, messy, smelly, horribly service at the deli and at Starbucks. I seriously feel everyone on staff needs to be on suicide watch. They are lethargic, slow, inattentive and unhelpful. There aren't many other options along PCH but do your best to avoid until management finds a way to fix the problem. read more

HORRIBLE!! I've gotten milk here totally gone bad even though the date was good, They have no selection no space and the things that they do carry are so expensive. There's always a long line because they don't have enough people and the food had no quality. Even the very expensive items have no quality. read more

Super convenient supermarket-- right across the street from the beach! The location makes this particular Vons store an excellent place to stock up on necessities, or to grab a quick lunch, caffeine fix, or whatever. Easy in, easy out. Cheers! read more

This Vons is very small and has rude, slow or useless employees. Disappointed in the gentlemen in the ready made food area. I asked about a salad that had no label and was curious as to what type of salad it was. It had to price or title. The attendant was very rude and made it obvious I shouldn't be asking questions. He answered me in one word answers and I was totally turned off. He was in a bad mood and was very rude. It is sad and disappointing when people in retail hate dealing with customers asking questions. I just honestly wanted to know what kind of salad it was, and if it had, meat or dairy. When I finally found something to eat the cashier was moving so slow, i wish there was self checkout but ugh just disappointed with people. read more

I have never experience such bad service at any vons location before... I was at the Deli trying to get some macaroni salad and the guy behind the counter "Liam" didn't want to do it because he was bagging chips and his co-worker was doing all the work. When he finally helped me he was doing the work soooo slow on purpose because he didn't want to do it. Sucks that bad employees leave a bad taste now I never want to go here again. read more

I've seen SLOTHS move faster then this!! It's taken this lady over 10 mins to MAKE FRAP!! Omg!! Come on can you guys hire staff that is competent enough to run your Starbucks!? No reason this should take this long!! read more

I came to buy something to eat lunch and they served me like if I was a kid who only eats a little and for $7 dollars I don't think this is worth it . I'm not coming here no more. I rather go to Ralphs they serve better. read more

Vons - Grocery Near Me - Pacific Palisades, California

See all

The store is good. I find the lines are usually short and I can get out of the check out relatively quickly. I don't know how Vons did it, but it appears that Vons management was able to corner the market on checkers with no personality. Maybe they are bored, or maybe it is me. But I always get the feeling that I am bothering the checkers. The store is nice, clean, and well stocked and especially their produce dept has good fruit and vegetables. Something rare in a grocery market in Los Angeles these days. The inner staff (the people who stock the shelves and vegetable dept) are always friendly and courteous. read more

Tettibly slow... 20 min to buy chicken. Tbey called someone to help but he was bussy NOT taking care of customers

Vons Market Starbucks Palisades / LA County off PCH across from Gladstone's . Thank you all staff for excellent service opening early 5 am- 12 pm always have enough food products for locals especially for holidays. Starbucks thank you Emanie for consistently making my special off the menu drink !:) All great service friendly with care consistently 24-7 great team!! ok - deals are good on prices. Great on all kinds of people always friendly with people's needs. Thank you Vons/ Starbucks off PCH !! read more

This Vons has the WORST customer service of any grocery store I've ever visited. It's located on the way to my kids school so I shop there with some regularity. And over and over again I am baffled and frustrated. I should say that there are a few employees who are wonderful. Warm and friendly and efficient. But many more are awful. The worst of it is the deli! They are the slowest least concerned with customer needs of any deli anywhere. Will literally let a person stand there for overb5 minutes without even acknowledgement. I Hate spending my money there but with a busy schedule and the fact that it's on my way I do go. I'm hoping that if enough people complain the company will fix it! Or even better - maybe a Ralph's will come in and take it over! read more

Good grocery store. Found exactly what I needed. Customer service was friendly. A+

By Pacific Palisades standards this place is sketchy. Why is it that there's always some homeless guy in or near this Von's parking lot? The produce always seems to be less fresh than the other stores in PP. Basically I'll buy something like shampoo or canned food from this Vons if it's convenient. I will never buy anything from their deli because one time I got sick (vomiting, fever, etc) a few hours after eating a "Caesar Wrap" from their deli. I give one extra star because they gave the store a facelift a few year ago. But seriously they need to give up on this store and turn it into a Home Depot. read more

In general I like Vons and Pavilions. This one, however, is an exception. They've never seemed to be able to get their act together. Long checkout lines for the most part. Less merchandise than other Vons and get this: even their bread and rolls aren't as good. I avoid it whenever possible. read more

I saw a package of avocados; the label says "5 ct." But you look into the bags and there are only 4 avocados, not five. It also said, "$1.20 each" on the bag. But they charged $5.99 for the four; So that is $1.50 each, not $1.20. So, they cannot add and they cannot multiply. I have seen this sort of carelessness at the store before. They are sloppy. It would be so very wonderful if they could abandon the store and have a giant Trader Joe's at that location. read more

This von's has all the organic and good food one wants for a healthy life...The meat counter is exceptional..speaking from a person that goes to different von's..this one is small and nice...please get rid of STARBUCKS...they are very rude and boss customer's around...I got sick on one of their sausage sandwiches and had diarrhea a few hours later...hire a whole new staff that knows safety standards and has manners that are appropriate to the people of the Malibu area. read more

This vons is a piece of crap. They close at 12 and their phone and yelp and online profile say 1 am. God dammit.

Honestly, this store rules.....and the poor reviews truly reflect the myopia of the reviewers, and not the establishment....in true light, this store sits right on Pacific Coast Highway smack in the middle of Babylon and it's a wonder it's even there...there's not another grocery store on PCH for many miles in each direction...so celebrate that....there's ample well-lit parking (another amazing feature) considering the parking clusterfuck just down the road in Santa Monica....produce section is great, there's a Starbucks with outside seating overlooking the beach, and the prices are reasonable (which is amazing in and of itself considering everything else in coastal Southern California is financial foolery).....AND, they open at 5am!!!! which allows you to get your grocery on before the harried frenzy of yuppies awaken and proceed to disrupt your mojo in their narcissistic freak-out of discourteous driving and other predictable deeds....don't listen to their reviews, this place is good stuff.... read more

We live next door to this store. But, for every dollar we spend there, we spend ten dollars at Gelsons. The only time that we walk into this Vons is when we need something right away. The customer experience at this store is appalling. Here's why: With the exception of two people, this is the most disconnected, disinterested, unhappy and disengaged staff around. Many don't look you in the eye. Staff members including a few managers complain to each other while customers go through the check-out line. In fact, I have gone through an entire check-out without the cashier or bagger acknowledging I'm around. Of course, the merchandise at Gelsons is better. But, how miserable must it be to work at Vons where staff members are routinely negative when they are at the corner of PCH and Sunset? The store looks out at the ocean. This store represents a failure of leadership. Why am I speaking up? This store is in the neighborhood and I would like to see it get better. Based on the other reviews about this store, it doesn't appear anyone is listening. read more

It seems weird to review a grocery store on Yelp, but I've been coming here for years because of one of their employees. Their deli features the Sandwich Savant. Go in there and get the guy who appears a little off. He's a bloody genius. Sandwiches are made with extreme care, every ingredient in place. The tomatoes are spaced and never stack or overlap. He is well-known for not being stingy with the cheese. I highly recommend the veggie sandwich, as it comes loaded with Von's special olive paste and I think it may include the guac. As for the store, the Vons is often empty and in order. But the Deli and the Savant are the best in the city. read more

I stopped by to grab a refreshing naked juice. While I was trying to pick the right naked juice for me. I noticed a guy looking at me and walking by me the several times. My guess is he is a undercover security guard. He even followed me to the counter and waited at the end of the check out line, staring at me. The whole time for one naked juice. He watched me as I left after even paying for the naked juice. He waited and stared at me as i left the premises the whole time. I guess Vons thinks I'm a criminal because I'm thirsty. I have never felt so uncomfortable in my life. I will no longer support or do business with this store. Nor do I recommend it to others. Those who shop here be careful, they might try to charge you for being hungry. read more

The prepared food counter is appalling. Rock hard chicken "tenders," frozen "hot" fish.... there is no organization to being helped...workers have a piss poor attitude to working. Overall, horrible experience, numerous times. Finally, I will never go back. Waste of time and money. read more

Seriously? I was craving fried chicken. Today is $5 Friday. So, without expectations, I took a bag home. OMG! Delish batter. Must be this specific location. read more

This Vons doesn't carry a good variety of products. It's small. The biggest issue I have with this location is the staff. I have yet to experience ONE kind, helpful person in this Vons. Today, I got into the line where Mauricio was cashier. He didn't acknowledge me or my wife when it was our time. He was busy talking with the girl that was bagging. She asked us if we needed a bag, we answered 'no', and then she went right back into her conversation with Mauricio. I stood there... waiting... for some sort of interaction. I finally asked him, "are we ready?" And he said, with an attitude, "yes". I asked, 'What's the total?" And he acted like I was putting him out and interrupting his conversation by me expecting that he should have some customer service manners. I swiped my card and did what I had to do on the keypad, waited for my receipt, which he handed me with his 'attitude' and of course, he didn't bother to say, "thank you" or "goodbye", not even a smile on his face. He was clearly not having a good day and he was taking it out on the customers. He's not the only one. I haven't had one easy, joyful checkout experience at this Vons. I live less than a mile away so I go here because it's convenient. I think they bank on this and expect that we have no other place to go so they can treat us however they want. Actually, Ralph's is only a few miles into town on Sunset, so believe that I'lll be going there from now on and I suggest that anyone reading this should also do the same. read more

The store itself is actually very nice but it is always so ridiculously understaffed that you spend three times as long waiting in line than your actual shopping. This has been an issue for the 15+ years I've been going here...don't know why they simply hire more! read more

I don't often write reviews good or bad, but this place is ridiculous. This is without a doubt the single worst grocery store I have ever been to in my life. It's horrible! I am shocked that Von's allows this location to keep their franchise. There are never nearly enough people working. They are often out of eggs, milk is expired and they still sell it, prices are often marked incorrectly, it is not uncommon to have a line of 15 people for one register, and to top it off I have seen a fist fight in the produce section. Get it together Von's read more

This Von's location is definitely our family's favorite grocery store. My Husband and I take our turns to get our fruit & veggie supplies at least 4 times a month. The employees are always friendly and helpful, they make us feel so welcome every time. The floor is always clean and everything is always in order. It's definitely a big store with a wide range of product selections. Keep up the great work, Von's on Sunset Blvd! read more

Absolutely Terrible Vons. The store is nice enough looking, but the management is completely incompetent. This is the only store grocery store I've ever walked out of multiple times because the quality of service sucks. The Ralphs in Malibu or Stores up in Palisades are a world better. Breakfast 6-11 a.m. Show up at 7 a.m..... sorry they're not ready to do breakfast. They're still cleaning from the night before. Want to check out? That'll be 20 minutes while our 1 cashier to 15 customer ratio attempts to figure out how to use the register. Want to run over at 1 a.m. to grab something before the 2 a.m. close? Sorry they have a piece of paper up saying their hours are until 1 this week. Prices are better at Ralphs. Service is better everywhere else. read more

Greetings Folks: I like the PCH/Sunset Vons for many reasons. They get folks through the lines even up against the summer intersection of PCH and Sunset; Palisades and Malibu customers? Just so you are prepared, this is summer central for the whole world. Regarding bums and homeless: Yes I have had conflicts. I heard it best put that everyone wants to live on the beach: Folks posted on the bus bench in front of Gladstone's 4-fish drinking 40's is not Vons' issue. One's I offer to make a sandwich are amicable, sometimes. Ones who refuse my food offer instead of cash are volatile, usually drug based: Again, this is not Vons' creation. I get great savings by purchasing what I want when it is on sale. Recent transactions have included patrons behind me complementing me on my savings; 46% two days ago w/the card and coupons. Regarding stock, one must consider the cost, per ft^2 of Palisades real estate. Yes they have to carry a bit less variety. Get over it. Life is good. My thanks to all the Vons PCH employees and management. R Cooper read more

I bought chicken here I thought was still fresh well within the expiration date stated on the package, only to find out that it smelled funny and tasted funky when I ate it. I'm not sure what's going on there, but I won't be shopping for meat anymore at this supermarket. read more

Ghetto Vons all the way. This tired old Safeway is staffed by sleeping managers. No one is really doing anything but watching time go by. Zero amenities no self checkout. Sad tired store. read more

I don't suggest going to Starbucks in vons. Drinks are superb but they only have one employ working at a time. I waited for 15min in line when there were only 3 people in line! Also when I got up to the stand I overheard the employe talking to someone telling him that the pastries were defrosting! read more

Sooo expensive and so unorganized. I have been going there for months and still can't ever seem to find anything.. Plus, they don't have a wide selection! read more
