One of the best supermarkets Ive been in. The staff is super friendly and helpful, jumping right in the moment they see you struggle with anything. Amazing selection of food, decent selection of bathroom supplies. I think in total they only carry like 6 different kinds of toothpaste, and one kind of bug bite treatment. But, they have all kinds of fine cheeses and wine.
I love the employees in this market. They know how to pick well meaning and helpfully people. Market is also very clean.Store backed doughnut are amazing!
A little crowded most of the time but with self checkout its always the hassle free and easiest to do ONLY IF YOU KNOW HOW TO WEIGH YOUR FRUITS AND VEGGIES PROPERLY+
The Vons complex needs to add more check out people go to Trader Joes they use every station, every one has a person in it, go to Whole Foods same thing go to Vons Pavilions 1 checkouts open!
I really enjoy shopping at Pavillions. They slowly have a great selection of almost anything you need and they have top of the line produce and meats also. Its not the 99 so dont expect the cheapest prices but they have what you need in a clean atmosphere.
Nice,clean,quiet hotel.located on a moved corner sorrounded by a gas station, various places to eat,and a few blocks from the sea.professional and nice team
Me and my son were paying for our groceries. My son was standing by bagging area excited for his chocolate treat trying to reach it once it got scanned. The guy at the cashier grabbed that chocolate back from him and said dont play with that. Then he added something is wrong with that kid. Well, this is not just not okay, its something wrong with that employee.
Always a pleasure shopping here.
What? its a grocery store, what do you want me to say? The staff are courteous and helpful the store tends to be clean and the security doesnt seem over reaching in his duties as security officer of a grocery store.
Located in a nice and fancy area there is a good atmosphere inside and outside of this Pavilions store where there is also security and good atmosphere inside and outside and the adjacent areas!!!!
Nice place, but narrow parking lots, if they change them, it would feel like USA, not Chinese cheap parking lot :/
I have started shopping here as an alternative to Ralphs.Im treated better here and the store is cleaner.
The support was good . But they were out of many items. The manager said it was due to the delivery.truck that had a delay.
Although a smaller size supermarket, it is recently remodeled, well-stocked and staffed by knowledgeable and helpful people.
Just did the store over and beautiful inside
I ordered a cake for a BBQ .It had to be light.The person helping me was so nice .We order a really beautiful cake with fresh fruit on the top.The cake was a wonderful one.Really made the BBQ so special.I would reccomend this store for anyone who wants quality food.
Gorgeous store!! I hear it was newly remodeled and it shows!
One of my favorite grocery stores. This location feels laid back, more peaceful and is fully stocked.
Smaller vons. Friendly staff. Great service and also has a Starbucks in it newly remodeled. Awesome
New remodel is great
Honestly one of my favorite stores to shop at! And I have a costco membership......
We shop here often. The service is good, prices fair and stock is ample.
Was able to find what I needed
They never have good alvacados they seem fine when I pick them out but I go home and they are brown inside and taste aweful
Although the place looks spiffy and modern after the remodel, I was disappointed to find expired cole slaw in display cases. The sell by date was November 25, and I was shopping on December 7. I talked to two employees about it, but there was no sign that anything was done. This can be a health concern as coleslaw is subject to spoilage and can cause food poisoning. Be careful shopping there in terms of expiration dates!
Well organized good size store. Outstanding helpful nice employees
This market always has what I need, Great bakery.
Chicken pie $5.99... It seemed they made it with expired old chicken inside that tasted like mold. Threw away. Also deli counter doesn’t look very clean in Santa Monica Pavilions.
Great store great look and very helpful employees.
Great food market. The staff is very friendly
Fairly decently in stock with almost everything in their selection. Service is great. I enjoy the Starbucks in the store. Great greeting cards section.
Lots of good deals. Go here for lunch, grab some groceries. Check out is always a little slow at lunch. I love having the option for all the different foods. Also there tends to be a lot of free samples.
Clean & neatly organized! Friendly service.
Good selection, decicent prices
Always gave best products
Usually I wouldnt review a grocery store but the service here is great. was helped with groceries and not to mention the store is ver clean.
Easy to shop in this airy, spacious grocery store. The staff are always smiley, friendly and helpful. That goes a long way with me. I am loyalist to places where the staff are kind, accommodating and value your service.
Very posh Pavilions.
Place is small...has what you need but very limited selection. Better pavilions out there.
Smallish, not terribly well stocked, even under non pandemic conditions. Staff ranges from really nice people to others that seem to have been recruited from parole boards and methadone clinics.
Very nice staff
Great roasted chicken! Friendly service
Great supermarket with a variety of products at a very affordable price! The supermarket is arranged neatly and the floor space is adequate.
Why is ice so expensive?
...... Ive been going to this Pavilions for about ten years now and have spent thousands & thousands. Its one of the BEST grocery stores Ive ever frequented. The employees and the managers are all so incredibly helpful and gracious. Thank you Pavilions! Grazie mille!
Great store
I only go to this store because its closest to my apt. The aisles are too narrow, the displays take up precious space and get in way of carts. The produce is saturated with water sprayed on it. Prices are often missing from shelves. When I want better selection and quality food I go to Ralphs.
Went in today for some last minute pie shopping. Pies seemed a little too pricey considering its Thanksgiving. Overall good experience, staff are friendly and helpful.
The Pavilions off of Montana that I went to is basically quite clean and has ample parking. It also has a Panda Express that it shares with a good little Bakery and Mexican fast food counter top. This Pavilions has things Captain pretty neat and clean order but does not have the discounted meats and such that you will find at the regular Vons grocery stores in the area.
This is a great grocery store in Santa Monica . ChrisIs awesome worker who helps people with a smile and care !!!!!!!!! Most people here are really GreatPeople. Keep safe !!!!!!!!! We need you ! God Bless
I love this store very clean, well stocked shelves and bargains galore. Great staff and service. This IS a SUPER market
LOVE PAVILIONS IN SANTA MONICA.PARKING IS A CHALLENGE.OTHERWISE ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES TO SHOP.
Favorite grocery store in Santa Monica
I found what I needed quickly, was greeted and ask how I was and did I find everything I needed, the checkout was fast at lunch hour with many people shopping.
The staff fabulous. Today I had Robert to check me out. !!👍😷😜😜
Great organic produce. Solid bargains with membership. The best fresh baguettes that run out too fast. Excellent variety.
My local grocery store, amazing employees, super helpful and always positive and a joy to chat with. Only downside is when it’s packed after school with soccer moms and their kids running around like bats out of hell. But besides that they always have what you need and the employees are always their to help!!!
The selection isnt bad. However, the floors are always dirty, which makes me wonder about how clean the food prep areas, produce and fish actually are.Its a convenient location nesr my work. Customer service is uneven and varies from day to day. Prices are a bit high compared to Ralphs.Lastly, for its location on Lincoln Blvd and Montana Ave, I would expect that the store would be more aesthetically pleasing. It wouldnt hurt to renovate the place so it looks more modern and get better fish and produce whilst they are at it.
Encountered the absolute rudest cashier in this universe. Her name is Nia (this old and disgruntled lady). I had my small dog with me (He’s an emotional support dog and I had my papers with me) and this other guy behind me in line did too and she made a snarky comment about banning dogs. I ignored her and as she checked out my items, she THREW them. This Pavilions would be nice if it weren’t for this rotten human being.
Friendly & convenient
You can get almost everything in here, they have some fresh products which are in general good.You definitely need the loyalty card since it makes a huge difference on the total! You can ask for it on your first time and use it straight away.
Very good service.
Great customer service, Manager Mr. Lopez is the best. Very clean
Bakery manager 5 stars
Great alternative to the expensive grocerys in the area. They need to enforce their mask laws a little better.
Theres just too many things wrong with this place. For one thing, it seems that every single trip without exception includes an item scanned with the wrong price. And these are not random errors - the never favor the shopper - me. Ive come to expect it, look for it, prepare for it and I still dont like it. They once gave you double the difference back when that happened. That was a long time ago. The place is tiny, an old store with an ancient footprint, so its cramped, crowded, and has a very limited selection. And long lines at checkout, no matter when, no matter what. If its the dead of night, and theres only 3 people shopping, theyre all in line and its a slow line, possibly because of the scan errors. And its dirty. Filthy, actually. Ive not taken to washing my purchases, along with myself, when I get home. Not just fruit, but packaged stuff - milk, ice cream, canned goods, whatever. Everything in there is dirty, including the conveyor belt at checkout. Its strictly a last resort, but Im afraid its convenient location means I resort to it more than Id care to.
Pavilions is the upscale Vons, and this one is. I love Vons, but when I want a higher quality, yes and price, I go here.
My go-to grocery store. Not the biggest or the cheapest, but the best Santa Monica has to offer.
Meat department was very helpful
September 17, 2018. I had a delivery scheduled for between 9AM -10AM. I never received my order! I got the bill / reciept though! I had tried to contact you 5 or 6 times with no response! I need to get this order credited, ASAP!! Its been almost a week now, Im at a loss as to what to do now! I need credit, but do I continue to shop there? Please help! I am in a very limited income situation! Thanks!
Excellent variety of choices! Great products! There is a consultant for any product you need.
Amazing supermarket. Very clean and sells everything you may need. Great service.
Opens at 530 am. Stores in central California opens at 6 am. There is something what I can comment about different schedule between central california and South California. By the way, good customer service at cashiers. Need more aware at aisles.
Large parking lot for well stocked Pavilions in a highly residential, upscale part of Santa Monica. Produce section leaves much to be desired. A nice change from the exorbitant Whole Foods prices just up the street
Neatly Organized.
The parking spaces are too narrow. The Starbucks is wasted space. There is one less than 100 yards to the West and another a few blocks East and many other coffee shops between the two. The space should be used for a salad bar.They took out the recycle machines. I shop at Ralphs most of the time now.
Nice quality, selection and staff.
Need better cleaner bathrooms with metal not weak plastic hooks to hang purses abd coats. Otherwise, this is a good store with good managers and staff . Montana Ave store in Santa Monica
The manager Jaime is very informative and helpful in every location of his supermarket. He sets a high standard for customer service that reflects upon the astonishing help received every time I shop here.
A smaller store in the chain but otherwise still a step above the rest of the mass market grocery chains. Service as good as Whole Foods with much better prices. Parking can be a challenge.
The bistro section. Rude staff. They seem to hate their job
Its always clean and well stocked. The employees are helpful and I love the deli and bakery. Great selection of flowers too!
Very similar to Ralphs, however, they offer fewer items for sale. This is at least true for the hot meals / bakery section. Customer service was good too.
Its a market not as good as when owned by Safeway but good and helpful staff
Clean with lots of options. Courteous employees.
Nice selection, friendly staff and great shopping experience. Location is convenient!
Great place, very conviennent and well located. Prices are very reasonable.
This supermarket is relatively small, but offers a good selection of high quality food as well as all the staples necessary for everyday life. On the whole, a good place to shop.
Poor customer service and if I could give no stars I would but unfortunately that is not an option, not to mention the bathrooms are dirty and disgusting way too nasty and not hygienic. Employees here are rude and have an attitude. Super disappointed but nothing is going to change. And people need to eat and buy groceries so the terrible show must go on.............
Great staff, good deals and open almost 24/7. Perfect!
Clean and easy to shop here. I feel safe at this location.
I came in and had in encounter with the most rudest and disrespectful person in the world.. the name badge said J-LO one of the worker said his name was Jose Lopez... he ran my foot over with the power jack when he was taking his product 2 his cooler... he didnt even apologized.. he got into an arguement with me. Saying that i got in his way.. i dont think u are supposed2 use the jack when us the customer are shopping .. i will stop shopping there due 2 this employee... jose lopez needs 2 be fired
This location continues to have rude employees. They are always grumpy and less than willing to help. The management is the same way. Ill shop elsewhere from now on. Theres a Vons less than 10 minutes from here.
Ok selection of essentials. Reasonable staff. Very busy after 5:30 pm.....they to avoid on Sundays.
Very good store.
Nice enough store with some great savings. However, selection could be a little better. Good parking.
The location is convenient for me. Their prices are comparable to other markets.
They fail off in packing things, mixed bathrooms cleaners,with milk all in the same bag, and I got to go myself to look for a box, to pack my 8 cases of beer, and get some of the bagboy, on my way back to the cashier, to help me with it.
