Ralphs Fresh Fare 8657 Villa La Jolla Drive, San Diego, CA 92037

"Don’t go in the evenings or you run the risk of spending over 20 minutes in line. They don’t staff the registers and close most of the self checkout lanes. Tonight there are at least 15 customers per line per register just waiting. They need to either hire more cashiers or keep all the self checkout lanes open."

"On 25 October at 7 pm , I went to get groceries at Ralph’s on La Jolla . I been shopping this store more then 5 years. Today I forgot to bring my store card , and I ask cashier to used their store card . She was so rude and very unprofessional. This Ralph had good costumes service, and now they are loosing one of important aspects of business ( customer services) . Every month I spend more then $3000 for groceries at Ralph’s , because of this situation, I will never coming back to this store . I will take my money to Costco or something Trader Joe’s . Terrible customer service and unprofessional cashier. I forgot her name ( she was at mashing number 9 I think at 7 pm on 25 October 2023 . ) she looks between her 45 and 50 . Black hair and more Hispanics looks . I hope CEO of Ralph’s will see and do something. Thank you so much. Be aware of rude customer service of Ralph’s ."

"This Ralph's outlet is quite big compared to other stores. One big plus is - they have local bakery inside and also kitchen ...so you can get fresh items all days. Apart from this, fresh fruit, vegetables with organic options available here. Vide varities of dairy products also on the last back side of the store !! There is Starbucks inside too."

"I just had the most wonderful experience ordering a custom cake from the bakery department at this Ralph’s in La Jolla. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I’m so glad I gave it a shot! Michelle, the cake decorator, went above and beyond. I got to pick all of the flavors / fillings / frostings / and colors and I also wanted a baseball theme. They made it look spectacular and very high end at a very low price! They added all of the baseball accessories to my surprise! Great value. It was such a pleasurable experience that I plan on getting all of my custom cakes here in the future. It was the centerpiece of our birthday party! THANK YOU MICHELLE!"

"Well I never thought I would be reviewing a grocery store, but it has been nearly two years since I’ve shopped here and I still think about it constantly. First, this Ralphs is CLEAN— like a fresh haircut. Each aisle is so neatly stocked, no random/blank info cards, no half empty boxes, no awkward spaces. Whoever stocks these shelves should get an award. Second, it has AMENITIES. Of course you got your bakery, deli, hot lunches. But the deli has an expanded menu, there is a large Kosher grocery section, multiple aisles of alcohol and an EAT-IN BAR. Yes, a bar— in the middle of a grocery store. Of course at the front there is a bank, but also dry-cleaning, tailor, and a post office. Now, I haven’t been in since I was working in SD back in 2019, so I’m not sure how it’s been affected by the pandemic. But I’ve never had a grocery store leave such an impression. If someone is visiting SD, I would put this store on a list of places to visit."
