Grocery Stores near Los Alamitos, CA

“This review is for the deli and bakery areas. We had a 90th birthday party for our dad last weekend so we ordered party trays and cakes for the event. The woman at the deli, I'm sorry but I did not catch her name but she had an accent, was so helpful when I was placing the order, and Angela at the bakery was also very thorough in making sure the cakes would look exactly as we wanted. We purchased sandwich trays, multiple salads, fruit/cheese tray, veggie tray, and a condiment tray, and the 3 cakes.
Everything was ready for us as promised, and the food was delicious. There were more people at the party than RSVP'd and still there was plenty of food for the occasion. Thank you so much!”

“The produce aren't always great. I have had a hard time finding a fresh onion or bell peppers . Sometimes I have found them rotting and still on display. I have had one incident where the cashier was rude and unfriendly. I have never had that experience before at any trader joes so I was shocked.

But overall they have decent products on good days and decent customer service.”

“This location is my favorite. I have one closer to my house but this one wins!
This morning I had another pleasant experience however the women checking my groceries out was exceptional. She interacted but was not overly friendly. This is such a small thing but I brought my own bags and she made sure to zipper both. This is the first in a while a checker made sure to do this. Kudos!”

“At the bellflower location, Miss diane has been very helpful and courteous to me, She acted she helped out the community in a good way, Which I love and appreciate. Thank you very much for having her here.”

“IT'S TRADER JOE'S WHAT MORE CAN I SAY ! EVERYONE WAS FRIENDLY HERE ! GOT THE DARK CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CUPS (2 BAGS ) THE BOX OF DARK AND MILK CHOCOLATE TOFFEE CHIPS ,SO MUCH CHEAPER THAN SEE'S CANDY AND IT TASTES BETTER !”

“The best grocery store on the planet if you ask me! I’ve been a long time fan and shopper at TJ’s

They have a great selection and friendly people at a fair price! For example during the recent egg price explosion- they kept their eggs at the same prices as always.

Plus they have a great selection of wine and alcohol - their Trader Joe’s brands are great and very affordable.

I could not love this store and company more!”

“I happened to have breakfast close to Trader Joe's and stop by there. I asked one of workers doing the stock merchandise about Thai coconut pancake and probably she went to find out for me and follow me to the car and let me know that merchandise is on season. Very nice of her and I don't know her name. Thank you for find out for me.”

“Trader Joes is my very favorite place to shop groceries!! Real reasonable prices and such an awesome variety of so many things. Their food is great!! No matter what city I happen to be in in Los Angeles, if there is a T J's, I visit it!!! I LOVE TRADER JOES!! 10 STARS”

“Our local regular grocery store for specialty items. One favorite is their Norwegian Atlantic Salmon, vacuum sealed, always fresh, succulent, and never fishy. It's the only place we buy Atlantic Salmon. However, their produce is not as consistent. Sealed bag of cilantro was wilty, thus the 4 stars. Prefer cilantro out of the bag to check freshness. Sometimes produce like tomatoes may be too ripe lasting only a couple days.”

“Nice Store the price are about fifty cents to dollar higher than other store but. It gave me that old feeling which is Good these days other than that I'll be back ?”

“I was looking for wings, and they were very hard to find. They are now called "party wings." And here I thought they were chicken wings.
Bought them at the butcher shop. Fantastic guy behind the case was great too talk to and he really helped explain about the difference between cooked (smallest and most expensive), frozen (medium sized) and from his shop (largest and cleanest). The farmers are feeding these birds something of bad quality and the wings are full of thick, black veins, and the meat is black. No more wings unless I buy them from the butcher (better quality, still black inside but more edible).”

“So I placed an order for pick up and my friend went to pick it up for me since I was sick. The order was sent over and done in a matter of minutes and he goes over to pick it up. Well he’s sitting there for longer than normal so I call and speak to Joel to find out what’s going on and he immediately gets working on it. I give him the order number and less than 10 minutes my friend is pulling up in my driveway order in trunk. Lol lol. I had accidentally put the order under his name since he was picking it up but Staters was on it and had him loaded up and back on the return trip home in a matter of seconds. Thank you Stater Bros. you guys and gals are truly the best and a huge shout out to Monica for shopping for me you got everything perfect. Thank you. No mistaking why I shop at Staters!!!”

“probably the best place to go in Long Beach if you're looking for a six-pack of alcoholic beverage. Their Beer Cave is a full-on walk in refrigerated room that is impressively stocked with plenty of cold beer and cider options that are ready to take directly home or to any festive event. Plus wine, liquor, cigars and groceries in the front room. Something for everyone!”

“Nice little shop with fresh meats and good selection. This place is clean and organized with high quality meats. I prefer this place to other markets because it never has a bad smell and I’ve never seen anything questionable or off here. Highly recommended”

“The parking lot was a mess In fact two people got an accident backing out into each other The watermelons were pretty pathetic they were not the best I've seen probably the bottom of the barrel maybe they got them really cheap because they were all discolored on the other side, I do like coming here because they have different things in Costco does!”

“My wife and I frequently come here for their breakfast burritos; you won’t be disappointed at all! Staff is friendly as usual and such a great neighborhood spot”

“The only place to buy groceries. Best meat selections with graded an non graded beef. Cold cuts are my favorite and the garlic bread is to die for on spaghetti night.”

“First time Ive been in the store and honestly I was blown away. It's clearly an old Costco inside but it's been converted into a giant supermarket.

The first thing you'll notice is the prices, especially on things like produce are dramatically less than even Walmart. Every paper and canned good has a WinCo generic brand for a fraction of the price. They also sell cat food, bird seed, granola and cooking supplies in bulk. They even managed to sneak in a honey/peanut butter maker from when Whole Foods was actually worth it.

And then there are the employees. A quick Google tells me the entire store is employee owned and operated. The employees, accordingly don't have the walking dead look like Vons or Target workers do. They are actually quite cheerful and helpful. The whole place gives off vibes of what grocery stores were like in the 80s, but with less cigarette smoke.

5/5 will be returning.”

“After passing by this place quite a few times, thinking it was only a butcher, I finally came to realize they have sandwiches too. However, fair warning, be prepared to take whatever you get to go - there is zero seating, not even a small table in a corner, if you want to eat in.

Decided to try the pastrami - it's their own smoked, thick-sliced, which was pretty good, but if I'm being honest, it was kind of a bit chewy and not near as good as I'd heard. The poblano mustard was a nice, unexpected touch, but quite disappointingly, it was NOT served on a toasted grinder roll, as advertised.

And since it was to go only, I didn't realize until I was later eating that it was plain old marbled bread of some sort - totally different taste and texture than a grinder roll - if they were out, or whatever the reason was, they should've said something before making it - I would have completely passed for that day if I knew it was going to be on bread.

So the service... the two guys working there seem to run the place (one was an owner, I think possibly). The other guy, who finally took my order after passing by me as he was doing other things (I was the only person in the small place) - I finally had to ask if I could order, and he kind of begrudgingly took my order. And it took forever... like close to 20 minutes! I love that they steam the pastrami right then and there, but not sure what took so very long with no one else even there.

The other guy was either the mgr or owner, and was at least a bit more friendly, but seemed completely bothered by my questions about the butcher cuts of meat while I was waiting.

Overall, the sandwich was pretty decent, but not to the level of the many raving reviews here. It was good, even on bread, but the service kind of left a lesser taste in my mouth. Will choose from many other options in the future when I'm around.”

“Stater Bros Market at Adams/Brookhurst provides excellent customer service, wonderful selection of groceries and prepared foods at competitive prices. Cashiers and others are very efficient, courteous, friendly, welcoming and helpful.”

“Have you ever been to Gelson's on 2nd and PCH in Long Beach? I love shopping at Gelsons. There is a definite difference in the quality of meat and produce over other stores. They also have a wine bar!! I enjoy their deli and ready-made food section. It's better than Whole Foods. They also carry See's candy. Even simple things like their buttermilk dinner biscuits are out of this world. Their staff goes out of their way to be friendly and helpful and the store is always clean. They also have a beautiful bakery with irresistible treats. You can even buy gifts there. They have flowers and plants and all the best wrapping paper and cards Papryus offers. To top it all off, their loyalty program is better than all the rest. I save $5 to $10 per visit depending on how much I spend and I don't have to click digital coupons before I go. I highly recommend shopping at Gelson's 2nd and PCH.”

“I come here often as it's my closest supermarket. On Sunday, i usually take a day trip and purchase 1-2 submarine sandwiches. They're the best bang for your buck. They use to make them to order. im quite sad they dont anymore and only make a few in the morning. This paticular sunday i was looking for a couple of italian meats sub. And there was none i ask ovne of the employees if there was any in the back or anywhere else. She did not find any. But followed with i can make them for you itll just b a few mins. She made me quite happy as i do not care for turkey too much, lol. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Desireé”

“Tireek the cashier was so kind and provided outstanding customer service asked how my day was and was very accommodating to any questions I had. Great customer service that isn't recieved much these days.”

“The produce is great. So is their customer service. I have a allergy to Turkey and every time we go to the deli they have had no problem cleaning off the slicer to make sure there will be no issues. In fact one time one of the ladies recognized me and remembered. Before I got to order she double checking if I was the person who had the allergy. It felt great to know that they are taking note of that kind of issues. Today when I went it one of the cashiers not just remembered me but remembered my name.
Update: This place is fantastic.”

“The deals here are very good. The reason for 4 stars is that it's sometimes hit or miss, meaning they may or may not have the item you're looking for, even when they had it last week. Great store overall, though.”

“Great store, love buying my Ahi there,etc.
We're lucky as we have Sprouts, Vons, Smart&Final, and Ralph's minutes away from my house here in Lakewood.”

“The old adage "If you want something done right, do it yourself" certainly rings true, especially on a hot day just four days from summer. My wife and I craved a refreshing lunch with a delicious sandwich, chips, and a cucumber & tomato salad. Of course, everything needed to be fresh. We required fresh-cut meats, crisp lettuce, juicy cucumbers, and tomatoes, a dash of vinegar, and our favorite Sun Chips: Harvest Cheddar.

Enter Stater Bros. markets to the rescue! Whether it's for quick, last-minute needs or pre-planned grocery shopping, we can always count on Stater Bros. to have everything we need. Their produce is always top-notch, and the deli meats are perfectly sliced and fresh. Plus, finding our favorite chips is never an issue.
