Took them 3 days to decide that my item was out of stock. Week before Christmas. I could've ordered from someone else and gotten it here on time if they would have done their job and marked it out of stock to begin with. Will never order from them again.

I went there at 5 pm on New Year's Eve -- very busy -- and had the best grocery shopping experience ever. I was worried about maneuvering the big shopping cart among the people, but the customers were polite, so we slid by one another gracefully. The produce man was gracious in checking on the price of nuts in the shell (a mountain of fancy mixed nuts for under $3/lb). I've had trouble finding Oroweat Honey Wheat Berry bread, having tried 5 other supermarkets in the past 10 days. Vicente had at least 6 loaves on the shelf. When I asked the grocery man for Hellman's mayonnaise, he told me with a kind attitude that it is labeled as Best Foods in the Western U.S. and is the identical product. At checkout, when the twisty came off my big bag of nuts, the checker twisted it back on. Both she and the bagger were friendly and attentive. I kind of floated out of the store, and will come back.

I placed 3 different orders through Google Express for 10 bottles of Lorinas Pink Lemonade that this place listed as in stock on different days... all 3 different orders were cancelled by Vicente Foods just saying no stock... I placed an order at 2am so that they wouldn t mess it up but guess what... they did. Horrible service and if I could give them ZERO stars I would super incompetent unprofessional store. Why are they in business if they can t even complete and ship 10 bottles of lemonade... come on!

I love coming to this grocery shop! The price is a bit higher than other grocery shops but understandable for the good quality of products and comfy feeling while shopping around. Their fresh produce section is the best for me. I also like the fact that this place always looks nice, well-arranged, and clean. Highly recommended!

My boyfriend and i got to try this delicious place at the 626 night market-- it definitely did not disappoint! Bacon jam is THE jam. The egg pasta pieces were the best pairing for their rich and smokey bone Vicente Foods. Would definitely go for seconds and thirds

Extremely rude on the phone. I asked if something was in stock and the person on the other end was very exasperated in answering the quick and simple question. I'll probably try to find my product somewhere else.

Probably THE Best Health/Organic grocery shopping for any and all Individuals that eat food on a daily basis. Cons: Iittle pricey Pros: you couldn t create a better grocery store from the healthiest sources in America - or if you could this is it it. The Best selection of carrots. The best greens . The best bakery / sweets. They make sure they have the healthiest version or selection of every product.

Coolest and Best Store I ve ever shopped at, I couldn t get too much, as you can tell it s more Organic Focused.. but I got what I could and I am pleased.

If you need a quick grocery to go to , to have what you re needing or expecting go to Ralphs.

If you re shopping for yourself or your family and care about health/vegan/Organic issues - come here and spend some of your paycheck. Your taste buds won t regret it.. just wait till you make your homemade (whatever) with ingredients here compared to Walmart s ingredients...yep.

Did some work for a gentleman up there a few times and went for a sandwich a Corned beef on rye and the person behind the counter stacked it high and full. So, now any time i work for the gentleman I always eat there. They also have some the old sodas we drank as a kid like Nehi Orange soda and Bubble up. This place rocks.

Everyone here is SO friendly, and helpful, the wine selection is FANTASTIC, produce is PHENOMENAL, hardly ever a wait to be checked out, and, parking is NEVER a problem! A bit pricey, yes, but so worth not having to go to Ralph's!

Absolutely terrible store. Deli department: I asked for some baked stuff, the person took all the bakery things with hands in the same gloves he was cleaning the machines with cleaning chemicals. When I asked to speak to the manager the cashier and the security guy sent me to the restroom!!! OMG! This store is a circus.

The IKEA of grocery stores. The layout of this particular Vicente Foods is awful and doesn't allow for flow of any traffic. Even when the store isn't busy, navigating it makes one feel even more claustrophobic and sensory overloaded than when visiting the Burbank IKEA. Expect an argument with your partner by the time you leave.

Beautiful clean market with everything one would need. They follow all the covid-19 safety protocols and have sanitizer at the front door if you need it. The deli is delicious and the sandwiches are very generous and come with pickles and potato salad!

Such a great grocery store, with a fantastic selection of foods! This place really has a small town feel to it, and does not make me think I'm in the middle of LA. Have been going here constantly ever since I was born. Fantastic store!

This is an excellent neighborhood grocery with a wonderful deli! I love the selection of fine wines. It's nice to have a little store close by which actually stocks white truffle oil and saffron for those food emergencies.

A little disappointed in the cheese selection. This needs work as does the meat/fish departments. But, a solid effort turned in for those who wish to stay out of the box stores!

I f i have lived near this grocery when I was young and have used this grocery store for 60 years. In the early days it was the small corner store and had everything you needed in the 50s and 60s. As Brentwood has changed to a more upscale area, they enlarged the store as much as possible due to parking requirements. The aisles are small as they wanted to continue to pack in everything you need now. They include Mamalos Bakery ownership the same as Gelsons bakery (yum). They have a small deli counter that makes sandwiches and offers deli food to go. The meats are excellent! The aisles are packed with regular and Gourmet offerings of sauces, cheeses, cereals and other goodies. Plus they had excellent fruits vegetables and wines. It gets crowded at times, but everyone is polite including the check out staff. You can pre-order and pay and they offer curbside delivery and ((home delivery before the pandemic).

A customer at Vicente Foods for over 40 years, I can say that this store is the epitome of care, quality, and service.

Yes, for produce and meats, the prices are a bit higher. But after purchase, we need discard nothing--there is no waste; the quality of produce is unequaled--even in many farmers' markets--and the meats are extraordinary. Fresh things taste like they should...like we remember they "did." Tomatoes are tomatoes, and the same is true for any vegetable, fruit, or meat. The staff are informed, gracious, and generous, and the wine and liquor department is itself carefully curated--with advice, conversation, and--when desired--very helpful information and instruction. And of course, there is the service deli--incredible...with some homemade specialties and wonderful sandwiches....all with a smile and engaging conversation--and there is the bakery--Mamolo's--a Viktor Benes original, with baked goods, whose quality is equaled only by the staff's sweetness (no, really).

Importantly, during this chaotic crisis, management and staff have done everything they can to support one another, and to provide products and service as seamlessly as it is humanly possible to do, being vigilant about the health of staff and the safety of customers. Thank you, VF!

They have a wide range of food selection and a little expensive pricing, but it is worth it. Their fish person is super nice and he helped me to find seasoning. It is a local store, so I feel home when I walked into the store. I pick Vicente over Whole Food in Brentwood.

That was totally unacceptable that my order of Fiji Water shipped through Google Express from this store have expired for one year! I got my delivery on someday Nov 2018. After drinking couple bottles, I noticed the date printed at the bottom which is Dec 2017. Terrible! How come these people sell expired products via online platform and think consumers won't know? Refund received from Google Express already. But I hope my family won't have diarrhea or I will sue the store.
