Jersey Gold Dairy

I’ve been coming here since I was little! In fact, my mom worked here when she was younger hahah. Anyway, all the employees are so nice. SO NICE. good job to the manager– they were all pretty awful and mean for a while lol. They’re super fast and friendly, and always offer my little dogs some treats :) The prices are really low, too so it’s a win-​win!

I arrived to the area of Cerritos/​Artesia/​Lakewood in the year 2000 and have been a patron of this drive thru ever since. One of the reasons is that the owner (I assume), has been super kind and always serves people with a smile. He carries almost everything I need or items I frequently run out of. Going to the local Ralphs for a can of tomato sauce is inconvenient sometimes so I stop by here and pick it up.
A while back, years ago… the owner gave me a bible, he had a sign up for free bibles and of course I asked for one. I didn’t have one at home and I do read it and still own it. I think all the workers here are great, super friendly and when it’s crowded, they move the line quickly.
Thank you for the great service!

Love Jersey Gold! I walk there Sunday mornings and get my paper. So convenient! The service is always attentive and nice even late at night. I think they have a little bit of everything. I live its old school charm :)

First time I heard about a drive thru dairy, I thought, «Really? Drive thru dairies? Why?» Well, it turns out it’s the best thing ever! I LOVE Jersey Gold Dairy. There’s two drive thru lanes to accommodate driver or passenger and help with speedy service. You can drive your car right up, order what ever you want: milk, cheese, eggs, and assorted convenience goodies all at reasonable prices. Their dairy prices can be less expensive than the nearby Ralphs at times. The service is always friendly, courteous, and quick.
You can also walk up and get the same great service. I sometimes walk my dog along the nearby park and stop off here to pick up some milk or butter. They give my fur baby a doggy treat and provide me with great service.
I love that it’s so convenient, friendly, and a local small business. I go here over the chain market whenever I can. They’re awesome.

I think I have found about one or two other places like this very far and few apart. Its grate to see places like this opened love that there still around. The help here is so nice and always have a good smile for you.

I am so excited!!!
Next week my friends and I are hosting a baby shower for one of our good friends. One of the ideas they had was to do a cookie and milk bar. We wanted to have milk like in those mini milk cartons just like kids get for school lunches.
I just called and I asked… TADA! They do! Pete, the person on the phone just needs to order mini milk cartons in advance. They come in chocolate milk, 2%, 1% and Whole and in packs of 35 cartons of each flavor at 40 cents each.
The reason why I am so excited is because honestly I thought I would have to call a local school cafeteria and beg them to purchase the milk for me. But nope!

It is with the greatest sense of sadness that I feel compelled to write this review. I absolutely used to love this dairy, but after today I will never return.
I have gone to this dairy for years and before today had no complaints. However, after the interaction I had today I have a huge complaint. I do not recall the man’s name, but he is the one with long blond hair that he wears in a ponytail. I asked for a gallon of milk and was quoted a price of «three and a quarter». I gave him a $ 5 bill and said «Thanks bud, keep the change». His response was to reply in a sarcastic tone and say «Oh, the whoooole thing? … Gee, thanks man». It took me a second to realize that the words and the tone were not matching up and that he was being a jerk.
I tipped the guy $ 1.75 on a $ 3.25 total (that’s 54% by the way) and his response was to act like I’ve insulted him. Now, I’m not upset that he was ungrateful, per se, but I am upset that his response to try and make me feel like a I did something wrong … for tipping him … almost $ 2 … for doing almost nothing.
I understand that everyone has a bad day, but this behavior was so far out of line that it cost them a customer.

AWESOME DRIVE THRU
We like the half gallon of whole organic milk and this is the cheapest place to get it! That helps when you have a little one who finishes two a week.
They carry THRIFTY ice cream in many flavors. Yes, that delicious ice cream we use to get at Thrifty stores before Rite Aid took it over.
This place is perfect for moms (or dads) who need to get something from the store, but don’t want to deal with all the hassle of taking out a stroller, diaper bag and the other 20 lbs of stuff we have to log around with every outing.
Did I mention they have beer? You have to step out of the car to get it, but that is no problem. You can still do that in your pajamas. They don’t judge.
Customer service there is excellent. They are all super nice EVERY time. I have yet to have a bad experience there. If you are in the area, you should stop by. Once you shop here once you will be a believer.
Great Job Pete and staff. I hope my grandchildren get to come here. (many many many years from now) :)

I have been coming here for decades, prefect for a quick drive through, one stop grocery essentials, when– you’ve –run– out– of– something– and –need– to– go –in — your –pajamas — trip.
Very friendly staff. Open year-​round, including some holidays!
Offering fresh dairy products, which are labelled as hormone free. They carry a large variety of milk (whole, low fat, reduced fat, fat free), whipping cream (I always just buy this on the day I need it), butter (salted and unsalted varieties), cheese (cottage and cheddar varieties).
Honey is also available, as well as eggs: brown or white, dozen or dozen plus plus — cartons of 20 and up. I’ve bought a carton more than once and they were mostly double yolked — how cool is that! (Not that I’m watching my cholesterol anyway)…
Juice is a non-​fancy brand, but it’ll work when you’re in a pinch.
The usual snack attack foods are here: chips, ice cream.
Also get their bagged ice for those last minute party needs. Alcohol (really beer) but I don’t really stock up on beer. Just sayin’.
I’ve seen expired products even at the larger grocery stores — That has NEVER happened at this location.
I hope this location stays open forever.

I use to come here in junior high… leaning on the countertops and deciding what candy or soda to get. Not to date myself, but a lot has changed & a lot hasn’t. :)
Very convenient… when I went there was 2 people on staff. They’ll come up to your car & ask you what you want. Great selwction on dairy & dairy products; sour cream, half & half, milk. decent selection on snacks, cornnuts, candy, chips, soda too. I didn’t purchase any alcohol, but they have your standard staple of beer options. From what I’ve heard, you have to get out of your car to purchase the alcohol (?) Sort of makes sense because you’ll have to put it in the trunk. Drive safe!
Not sure if you’re supposed to tip? You don’t in fast food… but they aren’t a small mom & pop. Hmmm.

I LOVE this spot! It has been soooo much more convenient than a liquor store and other stores could ever be! I’ve been a regular here since high school, I’m now 28 lol. Pete is the best and so are all of his workers.
*I’m now 31 and I my review is still the same except I love this place even more lol

What a great place! Very convenient and customer friendly. Pete is a good person. i try and go there as often as i can. Thanks guys

Great little drive-​thru. Milk has no hormones and its a local spot. I like supporting these little family-​owned places instead of the big grocery stores.

great drive thru

Love this place! Been going here since the 80’s!

Jersey Gold Dairy is the best. Keep it going Pete!

By popular demand, My review of the dairy down the street from my old house.
Is there anything better that driving/​walking/​biking down to the corner and buying a nice cold 6 pack? A pack of smokes? Donuts for work? Nope. Nothing. This is the be all end all of convenience.
In fact, at the Jersey Gold Dairy you don’t even have to get out of the car to make your every wish come true. The nice man comes up to your car window, you tell him what you want and he delivers. Wait, wait, wait. Why can’t ALL of life be just like the Jersey Gold Dairy? Why???
