The Starbucks inside
Brian G.

It is a big store, spacious, every kind of grocery and choices that you could possibly want. It certainly looks clean - that said in the (very spacious) underground parking lot I saw several rat traps and a rat running around! There is also a CVS pharmacy inside - and a Starbucks. To be honest the only reason I went there was for the Starbucks - if I was rating just on the Starbucks then they would not merit a single star!! You have to go in the store (no drive through) to get your coffee but there is nowhere at all to sit or even stand :(. My latte was sub par to say the least, most of the staff (several were just standing around doing nothing) seemed totally disengaged and bored - can't really blame them - this is the first Starbucks I have visited recently where you can't add a tip on the screen. So the only option was to tip in cash - but like most people I never have cash anymore!!! The server understood

Ok come on!  These halls are so clean!  I could move in here!

Thank you to the super market Gods!!!!! I live on this block and it has been a rough few years w/o a supermarket. Well on a glorious day last month, the most beautiful Vons I've ever seen opened across from my house! I could have cried! It is beautiful! Truly amazing!!! The people are so kind and helpful. Everything is bright and pretty and fresh! There's a Starbucks in it with a Mobile Window! I'm telling you, this is BY FAR the nicest grocery store in SaMo! Oh and there's parking downstairs I believe. I walked but I did see people coming up the stairs w keys (I'm smart like that).

One of the largest Vons stores I've been to, with free parking. Great setup. There's a Starbucks on site, an amazing flower shop, and a bakery with plenty of options, which makes it super convenient. That said, the store felt very unorganized, and many employees seemed disengaged, possibly due to it being the opening week. Hoping things improve as they settle in.

Entrance on Broadway,  just west of Lincoln Blvd.

Opening Day October 17,2025!!! Impressive! Beautiful! There is a Starbucks, a Floral center where the staff will create a custom bouquet and vast deli and bakery section! Parking underground. Entrance and Exits are on Lincoln, south of Broadway or on 7th, between Colorado and Broadway. Usd the Vons app, for the coupons.

I am so excited for my neighborhood store to be back. Opening day alone, I went 4 times!!! The store has GREAT selections and amazing prices. So many options for Latino kitchen must haves unlike the other local grocers. I was amazed by how much they had to offer. Employees were beyond helpful. Domain in the Deli/hot food department went above and beyond our expectations. We were looking at the food and he came from behind the counter, welcomed us in, asked if we had any questions and asked about our day. It felt like we were running into family. He was so kind and genuine and I will of course be back for the amazing chicken he had us try. The cake area was amazing and we bought many Dia De Los Muertos cupcakes for the DDLM event at the promenade that were a HUGE hit. Also, download the app! So many good savings and deals.

Trump fixed what Biden and the democrats have completely screwed up.

Love the new store. Love the larger selection. But I lose cell service in the store and I can't scan the coupons because I have no connection to the app. Time to install wifi so I can scan the digital coupons. Everything else is amazing.

While this location offers staple groceries (produce, dry goods, dairy, bakery items, and even some drink options) with the trademark Trader Joe's snacks (Joe Joe's, maple cookies, dark chocolate PB cups), the store is small and lacking in variety compared to some of the other Santa Monica options (Vons, Ralph's). Some might like this because it keeps the options simple, but I wish there was more variety and brand name options to choose from. The staff keeps the store clean, and despite lines winding through the store, they mostly do a good job of keeping lines moving (though I wish they offered a self-checkout option for those with 10 or fewer items).

The cashier signed me up for the "free" trial membership and urged me to get the "free" monthly drink. She asked for the manager's assistance with the process but the manager wasn't helpful at all. He told her to send me to the drink bar. I went to the drink bar and they said they didn't know what I was talking about so I went back to the cashier. The cashier who attended to me was suddenly gone. I asked the new attendant to help me and he grabbed a manager who told me to go back to the drink bar. I again repeated my situation and this young lady just shrugged and told me to wait. I then waited for about 10-15 minutes (way too long) for an awful tasting "tonic". Fool me once, shame on you. Food me twice, shame on me. Never again.

REALLY BAD NEGATIVE ENERGY AT THIS STORE. Be cautious who's bagging your stuff and checking out…read moreyour groceries. I don't want to put anyone in particular on blast, but there are 4 specific men who work here who are incredibly rude. One man in particular who seems to hate everyone but needs to make sure you KNOW IT! Your grocery bagging will be aggressively taken into account with this anger. If you say "Hello" you're met with silence or anger. I don't even say anything and I'm still met with angry energy! It's to the point I try to do self-checkout or delivery because I can't handle the passive-aggressive stuff anymore. I could get into more of my theories as to why I think this is happening but nobody will stop it so that's why I'm warning people on here. The ladies are very kind. They work hard and are tired but have always been professional. I try to make sure that, if I can have one of them help me at the register, I do so. Parking: If you have an SUV and the lot is full, just leave, honestly please your car won't fit into the spots because people don't know how to properly park. I saw an elderly lady crash into another lady's car. They were in a full-blown argument. People will just back out into your car while pulling out and are not even paying attention. There is very limited parking spots because people park and then go to the beach or into the permitted residential area because there's no parking there. The illegal parking isn't enforced. There's also people living out of their cars. Prices: This place is expensive. Check your receipt before you leave. Lines and customers: Sometimes the line is long and sometimes it's not. Customers are mostly very understanding and they work together to speed it up. Inside the store the customers are polite. Outside the store it's way different. I had one man mocking me and harassing me because I wouldn't do what he wanted. I was pushing a heavy shopping cart and he was stopped, wanting me to cross in front of his car for no reason. When I signalled and told him to just keep driving, he started mocking me. Very odd. At night it's like the walking dead zombies. They do have a security guard but be careful in the parking lot. There is a man who wears all black and is unhoused/homeless outside. He hides between cars and will come out of nowhere like a shadow. There's nothing anyone can do about it, so be armed if he comes at you. I had to go running to my car and lock myself in with my groceries still in the shopping cart until he wandered away. This is around 9ish when they come out. I've been going here a decade. Never seen it this bad. I hope they open more self-checkout stations and tell some of these cashiers to seek mental health help. It's a stressful job, but take it up with management or the company don't take it out on the customer.

There is ample parking and it really is the only place around where you can buy supermarket basics at reasonable prices. From the security guard to cashiers, the entire team is really unfriendly. It seems as if they are all overworked and exhausted.

They've got a nice butcher section with fresh meat and seafood. There's a deli case with close to 20 items -- ribs, chicken, lasagna, mac 'n cheese, soup and more, depending on the day. They've got about a dozen salads, including three potato salads, and about as many deli meats for sandwiches. The beef stew was excellent, the lasagna, chili and meatloaf also very good. The sandwiches are solid and very reasonably priced. Two things stand out for me here: their weekend barbecue and the tamales. Someone in their kitchen makes delicious Oaxacan tamales (which are not always available). These tamales are chock full of chicken mole -- perhaps the highest ratio of filling to masa that I've had -- and are neatly wrapped in banana leaves. The burritos are similarly pre-made and stuffed to the gills with the protein of the day. As for the weekend barbecue, every Saturday and Sunday morning they grill select meats from the deli (prime steaks, tri tip, chicken, etc) which you can buy throughout the day at the deli. The Farms also has fresh vegetables, premade salads and all the other items you'd expect from a neighborhood grocery store. Service is super friendly, and there's free parking in back. It's definitely a good spot for a meal to go.
