Fresh & Easy

I only grocery shop at Fresh and Easy, but this one had low inventory on too many products. No regular granola? And since when did any Fresh and Easy stores run out of their store brand bottled waters?
This trip to the grocery store caused me a huge inconvenience, not even being able to find most of the things I usually pick up from the Walnut/​Industry store. Not to mention it was 99 degrees outside and I almost considered going to another location.
Some of the employees seemed very entry level as well, or were just there for the paycheck.
Not going to come back to this location unless I really need to.

Come here often to buy mini watermelon to crack open at the Rosemead park. This place have a wide variety of produce for competitive price.
I also get my meat here since its more convenient than Trader Joe’s. The tomatoes are cheap too! ($ 1/​lb)
The workers are friendly, helpful, and down to earth people. I’ve never had a disappointing experience here!

Somewhat easy and not that fresh. I bought a «Fresh» produce fruit medley bowl for 15 bucks. The fruit was fermented. Thanks fresh and easy for creating a new take home wine. Big mistake buying this fruit bowl. Never again.

I was passing by, looking for some late lunch options and saw F&E, so I got in. Went to the section with the ready to eat meals, salads sandwiches, and I got a salad (NOT DISCOUNTED) at a regular price $ 5.99
When I opened it, I was socked! It look liked it was way over the expiration date. I was not to far, so I decided to go back, and I did. They took it back, no problem there (who would not?), but tried to find another one but I saw they were all looked almost the same, so I ended up getting a sandwich! Which was just O.K. boring and old feeling of the sliced bread. BE CAREFUL with food and especially with «Discounted Food». You can poison your self for saving a few bucks. How much is your life worth? not to mention that there is absolutely «No Nutrition» in meals that are expired and overcooked!!! Have fun out there, enjoy your life! ;)

This fresh n easy is the closest to my boyfriends house so we come here whenever we’re too lazy to go to another market that’s farther away. It’s a pretty small branch compared to the other ones I’ve been to. There’s no cashiers you have to deal with, everything is self check out. Food here are a lot more pricey compared to supermarkets such as Ralph’s and Albertsons, but they have a lot of organic stuff to choose from.
I absolutely love their grain wheat bread. It’s got lots of yummy grains on their crust and inside the bread as well. I love the texture of it :)

Cannot stress how much I love this place! Great food with great prices! Love the concept of checking yourself out at the register! Also, their chicken breast are delicious! This is my go to store now!

FRESH!!! EASY!!! aaaaaaaand ALWAYS, FRIENDLY!!! Love this location! Super clean and great people working here!!! Glad to have a local store like this!

Displeased with this location. Lack of quality in the product as well as employees is disappointing. Only place open late at night when you realize you’re out of milk.

I like to come here when I get promotional points!
I bought a pecan pie for my workers, and they liked it. I only tried the bacons from the meat section, pretty yummy & fatty! I liked their salads, wraps, veggies & fruits such as avocados, tomatoes, onions and bananas! Good deals!
All check out stops are self-​help, which make efficient no lines. It’d be great if the company considers to add back cashiers.

What a life saver!
Got to love their store hours and location. This location is really close to my place literally less than a mile. On top of that they open from 6AM until midnight.
I usually come here for some last minute shopping either for an ingredient that I had forgotten to buy at the market or something I had ran out of at the house. Some times I would come here to shop when I’m just too lazy to drive to any other markets.
There are some items that this location doesn’t carry. For example, just to list two items thus far, they don’t have Aquafina water or sliced almonds (an ingredient that I needed for tonight’s dish). Bummer.
Have you heard of their rewards program? Well it’s called friends rewards. A Friends card sounds like a great idea in earning points and once you have 500 or more points, you can convert your points to Friends Rewards. The downside to this is that you need to have the physical card every time you shop in order to earn points or to be able to use the Friends Rewards.

Fresh & Easy is what happens when Whole Foods has sex with ⁷⁄₁₁ and gives birth to something in-​between. And I’m a huge fan.
I almost never go to supermarkets anymore because they are the size of football fields and it takes me 15 minutes to shop for the things I need when I can find it in 2 minutes in F&E.
And you know how supermarket check-​out lines always take forever because, for whatever reason, they have 50 lanes, but only 2 of them are ever manned at a time? And there’s always that asshole with a pillowcase full of coupons. You get none of that nonsense in F&E because of the wonders of self-​checkout. Instead of 2 employees manning ²⁄₅₀ lanes, there’s 1 guy watching 12 lanes. I’ve never had to wait in a line once.
My only gripe about this location is their food-​to-​go area because I’ve seen opened containers on more than one occasion, so be careful before you buy anything from there, in case you get roofied or contract ebola. That’s –1 star for me.

what’s going on here F&E?!
I always come to this fresh & easy location, and I’ve been loyal since the get go!
HOWEVER, lately I have noticed lack of quality control.
For one, I purchased a chicken noodle soup and I always check the EXP date. this one was good to go.
Came back to my office, opened it, microwaved it, and had a sip.
IT WAS SOUR!!! I didn’t even want to go return it, for a measley $ 3. thank goodness I bought some avocados too or I would have ended up starving at work.
The second incident I had, was few days ago. I went to buy some lettuce and thought, what the heck. let me get a salame & provolone snack pack (I was craving for meat and cheeses). i knew the provolone tasted funny, but i wasn’t exactly sure. ANYWAYs I finished the whole damn thing, and the next morning around 6AM. I felt an unbearable pain in my stomach. headed straight to the restroom. and well. you know the deal.
I got sick and it lasted for at least a day. I’m really sad to write this because this location is the closest to me. but I think I’m gonna have to go to Alhambra’s location until they give me a reason to stop shopping there too.
** please note, the employees here are really nice and attentive. this review is solely on the quality of the products.

I was heading to Ralph’s (just because that’s my default for a quick stop pick-​up) but saw this Fresh & Easy was right there so I decided to stop in and check it out (after hearing all the commercials on the radio). Yeah, believe it or not, this is my first time at a Fresh & Easy.
Anyway, all I wanted were broccoli and mushrooms to cook some stir-​fry. And sadly, they didn’t have these organic which is what I was looking for. On top of that, they didn’t even have broccoli in bunches like at most grocery stores. They only had ready-​cut and packed broccoli which was more expensive. I don’t mind cutting the bunches of broccoli, I guess it’s psychological– I feel like it’s more fresh that way (don’t ask me why). And I certainly didn’t want to pay more for the ready pack. Guess I’m stuck in my old ways.
So I walked out of the store empty handed. Oh well. I guess it wasn’t what I expected. Fresh & Easy is more of a grocery store for people who want quick and convenient, I guess. I don’t mind cutting and washing things, and cooking a little.

I decided to update my review after reading FiFi’s review about how she received bad service from a ‘tall white guy with glasses’. If she is referring to the tall dude with tattoos, then I have received bad service, or rather no service, from him as well.
I was going to the self-​service register to check out. Right beside me, on the other side of the register, was the tall white dude with glasses and tattoos waiting on a lady bagging up her groceries. When he finished helping the lady bag up her groceries, he did not offer to help me bag up my groceries but just walked away and completely ignored me. I even tried to make eye contact and smile, but he just walked away like «T_​T.»
I know, it sounds a bit tedious, and I hate to call people out I really do, but after reading Fifi’s review I decided to post this. Since this Fresh and Easy is located in a neighborhood where there a lot of us Asians, I don’t think that we should be ignored or treated badly by employees at this establishment.
I give this place four stars because
1. Fresh and Easy is my favorite supermarket. They have a wide range of items available at okay prices. The self-​service registers are very easy and simple to use, and it takes only a few minutes to finish checking out.
2. I have not had to depend on the employees a lot. Out of the many, many times I’ve been here, I’ve only asked for help from employees a few times. Every previous encounter I had before the dude with tattoos was VERY pleasant. The employees were helpful, kind and patient.
Well, maybe the dude with tattoos just didn’t see me. Or maybe another employee just asked for his help. The person he was helping was not Asian, btw.

Have a lot of packaged meals to go in the refrigerated section
Reasonable prices

This location in Rosemead is the closest to my work. I love to stop in to get snacks for meetings I have at school. I also pick up a few cases of water because it’s cheap and I can always store it in my cupboard.
I love the fresh pastries and desserts as well as the packaged cookies. The food is soooo tasty. I also appreciate that they have vegan cookies so that I can get something for my friends who have specific dietary needs.
This location is always clean and service is great. I like that the registers are self-​check out because it goes much quicker. I need to remember to get a friends discount card. I could always save a few bucks when I shop.
Thanks for always having what I need and keeping the space clean! Much appreciated.

Fresh and Easy is under new management from Yucaipa Corporation. I was skeptical that the price might go up, which it did. Nearly everything to a hike right after they change ownership. The worst part that there no more clearance or soon expire section, who those why I like about Fresh and Easy and is gone. They do carry the same products as before, nothing-​new just same old. I don’t see to come here unless there’s some very good deal going on but it seem is less likely. Fresh and Easy was open way too many stores too quickly, i had sense that they can’t make it which my worst fear came true.

I love coming here when I need to get some groceries. Parking can be a mess because it’s next to an asian bank. There isn’t much customer service due to the self checkout, but there are workers that are very nice and polite to help you if you have any problems with the machine. The venue is stocked with the freshes produce and is very clean. They also have pre-​cut meats that are sealed and are ready to be nuked! FYI: My microwave and I are best of buddies! :). The produce are on the pricy side, but it pays to make“healthy choices”. I usually come here for the almond butter, almond milk, or kale! Mmmmmmmmmmmm!
I would like to end this review with the main attraction… well to me it’s the greatest section ever… It’s the «Clearance Item» section!!! These items are produce, pre-​made sandwiches, pastas and etc… that are marked down in price… usually half off, because it is close to the expiration date. Then again some of these items can be frozen, so they can last longer.
Happy Shopping Ya’ll

So when I first heard about Fresh & Easy opening up in LA, I was pretty excited! Essentially a small neighborhood market with fresh produce, prepped foods, wines, junk food, and most of everything you would need. Although their selection is much smaller than your typical Ralphs, Von’s, or Asian Supermarket, this place has what I need!
The prices are competitive with other markets in the area, the service is excellent, and all of the fruits, meats, and veggies that they have are fresh! They also have pretty good weekly specials as well as a clearance area that is marked down several times a day. If you come late enough in the day (and if anything is left) sometimes items will get marked down as low as 75%. You can find some pretty good stuff at the clearance area. I got a whole lemon & herb chicken for like $ 4!
Great selection, customer service, and prices!

My local fresh market. I come here all the time to get some of my favorite items, only found in Fresh and Easy.
Items are always up to date and never have a week of expiration dates on it. At least I haven’t seen them. (Excluding the «sale items» in the fridge aisle.)
It’s clean and well kept. Service is very friendly. The staffs greet you and are very helpful if you have issues at the self-​checkout station or if you just have a question about their items.
Happy Health!
