Fresh & Easy

It is people like Joe (an employee at this location) who help baffled people like me at late nights. Joe, thanks a lot man! You helped me find vegan items that I hardly knew anything about. You gave some helpful facts and suggestions about vegan products. 5 stars for the man that knows and not just works there.

We love this location. It’s not the biggest, but the staff are always helpful and friendly, and the food is always fresh. Sometimes, the staff is too helpful! Just let them know you want to bag your stuff yourself if you do. Assure them that yes, yes, you do want to bag your own stuff. No, it’s okay. Please. Let me bag my own stuff, and they will graciously let you DIY.
Just remember if you’re buying alcohol, a staffer has to run your entire purchase, so plan a little extra time for that part.
And try the Wild Oats products! I grew up with Wild Oats supermarkets, and the products are just as tasty now as I remember.

I love me some fresh and Easy! Came in for a few items including beer. When I started to check out, I knew that I would need an employee to come and check my ID because guests check out on their own. There was no one around. Finally I saw a guy at a fridge behind me. He came over and told me that I would have to pay for everything separately or rescan all of my items. I just paid for the beer separately and noticed a tiny little sign on the screen saying to ask for employee help before buying alcohol. Kind of weird that the system doesn’t allow it to be checked at any time during the purchase. The guy let me finish paying for my first order and went back to work. I had to try and get his attention again to come over and check my ID. He could have just stayed close for the two minutes it took to pay. But nope, he decided to go back to work so that I had to stand and wait for him as if he didn’t know I needed his approval for my purchase. The food is always consistent but this time the service was not so good.

Always empty when I go shopping
Parking could be better
Always fully stocked
Heared they are going out of business soon I hope not I love my F&E!

I absolutely love this place. I heard though the chain was going under — hopefully this store gets to stay around for a bit more — the one near my house is going soon, which saddens me.
The name says it all — fresh food, easy checkout! Seriously, this place has everything. I usually stock up on the granola for breakfast snacking at work, and then lunch is a salad or sub (I’m eating a Chicken Caesar Salad right now — sooo good!).
Their prices are pretty hard to beat — especially if you are able to snag a discount item — food which has to be sold by that day. If I’m on a saving-​money kick, I will usually look for those items, and can have lunch for around $ 3 or less! But even their normal prices are reasonable.
Quit the fast food, and bring yourself to Fresh & Easy and get something healthy. Your body will thank you.

Sad to say, this transition from Fresh & Easy to Wild Oats has exposed some not so great changes. Less produce variety, not as fresh, no coupons, store not as clean.
I hope things improve, I loved the old F&E. Boo. :(

They do not check Ids here. Someone made three $ 35.00 fraudlant charges to my credit card from this store on Feb 6. So watch your credit card statements! Because they do not!!!

This Fresh and Easy should offer purchases of Coffee Bean and Tealeaf coffee like the store in Burbank.

Great little store!
Very good prices, selection. although.
It would be nice if more brand products were offered. Not so many exclusively named Fresh & Easy products. Other than that, 5 stars.

I know I’m not the only one that DOESN“T like to be bothered by an employee asking if I’m finding everything ok so I la la love this store! I love checking my own groceries out too! They could use a wider variety of Peanut Butter. Other than that yay fresh and sleezy!

I really love this place. I was really worried that this specific store would close after fresh and easy went bankrupt, but I’m super happy this store didn’t close. I love coming here for my «green juice» supplies. The prices are okay for me (organic stuff). Did u know that they have food clearance? It’s the last aisle (frozen food section) and everything is discounted! I get my salads, meats and macaroni salad here! I love the selection and the self checkout. Love this store!

I love going to this Fresh & Easy. The aisles are clean and the prices are cheaper than Trader Joe’s.
The parking lot is big and there is no problem looking for a spot.
There aren’t too many workers to greet you, but you don[’t really need workers because everything is self-​serve in this store.
I love their Ready-​to-​Cook section. There are so many items to choose from. This section makes it easy if you don’t have time to prepare dinner on a busy weeknight.
Best of all, there aren’t too many customers who shop here and the lines are never long.

Been to a much nicer and more welcoming Fresh&Easy, unfortunately, this is the closest one to my house. Great selection of products just like any other locations, however, if you ever need assistance with anything, GOOD LUCK is all I have to say. Seems like they’re low on staffs and the ones they have are not really helpful. Usually go there to pick up quick fruits, vegetables and flowers. Most of the time they have really fresh products but I always see a lot of dead flowers still on display along with fruits that are no longer in great condition. I think if they have more workers, they can sort out the bad ones so that it won’t infect all the other ones and people would be more willing to buy this FRESH and EASY products.

The staff at this F&E is super nice, they always keep the shelves well stocked and the store clean. F&E is a great place to go especially if you live on your own, they have lots of great individual salads, sandwiches, etc. Their pre-​made dinners are very good, all in all any F&E is a great addition to any community.

I love this place! We have actually spent more time recently shopping here than at Trader Joe’s. While it doesn’t have the atmosphere of TJ’s, they certainly make up in the selection. Their selection of fresh fruits and vegetables is up to par with the vons and other grocery stores near our house. Their pre-​made selection offers a wide array of choices, and all of the pre-​made stuff we have had from Fresh and Easy were delicious.
I am a big fan of Odwalla-​type smoothie drinks, and have been pleasantly surprised with the choices from Fresh and Easy. Their protein drinks provide high servings of whey protein.
They have a good selection of meat and chicken. The chicken is fresh and of good quality. We recently purchased their ahi tuna, and found it to be good quality. I especially like their international sections, which even features a british food section! I am disappointed with the selection of other grocery stores in-​town, and we are happy to have a fresh and easy so close to us. Many might find it strange to have only self-​checkouts. Someone else in a previous post stated that they really don’t approve of self-​checks out because it then offers less jobs, however it does keep down the price of food. Most of the items you will ever need you can find at this Fresh and Easy. We recently tried their bakery items, and found them to be very good for the price. I really enjoyed the cream puffs. Give this place a try, and you will be glad you did. We have found their stuff to be of better quality than most of the produce and selection at the local Vons.

This branch is starting to disappoint. I’ve stopped here a few times the last week to pick up lunch for my son but every time I’ve gone, there were hardly any choices left. :(

Their products state that if you are not satisfied, take it back to the store for an easy return. I brought an unopened can of vegetables back to this store for a return, and the employee and then subsequently the manager gave me the third degree. This manager in particular was very rude and obnoxious.
I’ve only had positive experiences at the Fresh & Easy Markets in Baldwin Park and Azusa.
Note: Avoid Fresh & Easy’s ground beef. It is of very low quality with a terrible texture/​flavor.

Wow, I miss you, F&E! I’m in Oregon now, and there isn’t a single one up here… Bring me a Fresh & Easy to Beaverton!
The food’s good, the prices are right, and the people are helpful.

I love all fresh&easy markets because it makes grocery shopping so much easier. It’s disturbing that other supermarkets have one aisle dedicated to just chips. It fosters fresh and healthy eating. All the fresh&easy brand foods are great. My favorites would be the eatwell salmon teriyaki, the honey wheat pretzels, and the southwest chicken salad.
The protocol is to bag your own groceries since everything is self check-​out… but there are employees there to help if they can. It’s never crowded when I go so someone is usually bagging my groceries.

The fresh&easy brand foods are delicious. More to try:
Bangers and Mash, Honey Chili Chicken Eatwell, Turkey Chili Eatwell Soup, Smoothies, Molten Lava Cake, Alpine Trail Mix…

I must say I was very excited about Fresh and Easy. The wine great deal for Big Kahuna at $ 1.99 better than $ 2 buck Chuck… BUT I will never buy produce from them ever again I will stick to Vons. There was a roach in my cesar salad. The staff is very helpful and friendly but I can’t give a store more than 1 star for having produce with dead roaches in them which carry disease… Excuse me while I go vomit now…
