Large selection of items in bulk sizes. Excellent pricing. Customer service above and beyond. Found items the same price as other stores but twice the volume so a great money saver for me. Large frozen selection. Baked goods are delicious and fresh. Check out is fast and friendly.

Its good for cleaning supplies, and bulk items such as grains, produce, very large canned food, and baking supplies etc, . . .

Great place to shop in downtown area for a reasonable price. The staff is always helpful in telling where to find stuff things do change there some some of the brands might not be there the second time around but the products will be just under a different brand name. But not all the time and First street products are very good. I got the Pastrami from there and the First Street brand and it was Deliciousness😍

Our familys been shopping here forever. First my grandmother serving her community and her business. Then I got a job in high school here which helped paid for prom. Then my mother took over my grandmothers business and continues to shop here. And now for my own business I shop here so grateful to have a market so close by that has everything I need even during the pandemic

I dont know what the other reviewers are talking about. I find the employees to be unfriendly and just ignore me. So I guess its just me. I cant even get a greeting or a thank you out of anyone in the store anymore. Ive been shopping at this store for years. Its gone to hell in a hand basket as far as Im concerned. I remember when the employees used to be friendly. Im sorry, asking do you want a bag? - isnt a greeting. Also why dont you clean up your disgusting parking lot.

This is a conveniently located store in the East Village area near Downtown San Diego. They have good prices and free parking. A security guard with a smile will greet you when you enter the store. Dont be in a hurry, because check out can be very slow and painful.

Smart and final is a great store in this neighborhood. Close to many apartments buildings and it has a parking lot, if you have your car with you.This store carries a large variety of milk choices and large size frozen items, I don’t need to go to too many stores for groceries this store carries a lot of stuff I need. Staff are very helpful and fast at the check out lines with customers, I only seen line twice.Outside there is a water refilling station, so the plastic gallons can be reused.

Masks only required if youre still not vaccinated for Covid-19. Clean with a friendly atmosphere and staff.

This is a smaller store than the other S&F around here, however, this store carries more of the items I like, & need! So, theyve got my loyalty! The associates are friendly, & helpful.

Well maintained grocery store. I went there couple of times for quick visit during my stay in an apartment close by!!

It Is Always A Great Experience The Employees Are Friendly Helpful & Professional They Always Have What I Need In Store And Stocked 👍👍👍👍👍

Great deals to be had!

This marks our final holding on our money 💰, ended.. Thats right were now in the process of filling out our bankruptcy forms, wed like to offer a special thanks to Smart $ Final for making that decision happen for the purpose of breaking up the marriage. Yes now you have shown me how reckless, were we able in careless lifes. We are forever changed in our new called acquaintances relationship as I had to pack up, and moved to moms. I kept Microwave and DVR. Thankfully it is very special folks.

Smart and Final this is the place that you Dont need membership.You everything you need at a lower price. Basically better than another place. Looking for decent items? Look no more, meats, liquor, beer, you name it. You got to go and visit right now!!!!

Well-stocked tiny space here in the east village. They have a small staff so it might be hard to find assistance finding an item. That said, theres an abundance of basics with a variety of each item to choose from. Bread, booze and beverages are the items in greatest variety and with reasonable prices over all areas.

Employees always knowledgeable about products.No line to get in. Line to check out goes quickly.

A little rush hour shopping so there was a nice line but it moved relatively quick so i was satisfied. Good customer service...

It was kool but rude employees that work there

Go here all the time great prices

I love coming here when Im able to buy in quantity. I love to come here and buy my meats from here.

Great as always!

I like the store and a lot of want is there. Its not all bulk buy like other places. I can a get a gallon of milk and a lot of other products in smaller sizes. I think Im not alone and I see there staff allways restocking there shelves. Its a good deal and a lot of what you need. I like the prices and I do save money.

Well designed website, finding things is fast and easy.

I luv smart and final. They always have what I’m looking for. I can easily blow my weeks paycheck there. The people that work there have always been so nice, too. My cart is usually full of dog food, toys, treats... and the cashiers are always so nice! Ty S&F.

Very polite staff

Great service n prices

Not a problem

This place has some great deals. The management here are great. Very personable, and have actually tended to my requests. Their generic items are SO GOOD. I tried all those first to see.Always parking and sometimes they have special items.

Clean, well organized, not crowded, good customer service & convenient parking for the location (downtown).

This Smart & Final is my go to..Always clean, well stocked, and friendly .

Always helpful and good selection.

This store has some great selection, prices, and items. Shopping is easy here with great sales. No Membership required. The store is not easily found in the area. Some of the workers are great. There are some workers that need to find another job. It used to be great coming to this store. This store needs an upgrade like the other Smart and Final locations.

Clean, well taken care of. Employees are nice and helpful.

I would give this place a higher review except that the employees here seem very bitter, and hostile toward customers. Especially the Caucasian ones. I was very hurt by one particular heavy set Hispanic cashier, who greeted Hispanic customers with a welcoming hello and short conversations in Spanish. When I reached the register, however, her greeting changed to a set of orders on how and when to remove my card from the machine, she rushed me and became agitated that I wasnt moving fast enough for her. Then, when I finished my transaction, she greeted the next Hispanic customer with a smile. Hispanic animosity toward Caucasians is really creating an uncomfortable environment. I wonder if corporations are doing this on purpose to keep people divided.

Cool shopping

Good place, good location, good employees .

Nice friendly staff & good selection of goods. Over all a good shopping experience..

He liek

BIG HUGE BOX OF HONEY BUNCHES OF OATS IS $5.99,AT ALBERTSONS $9.95!! 😸

I just walked out the store and the cashier by the name adriana rang me up...I did my shopping got in line (one person in front of me and no one behind me) I left my kids in line and went to grab some disposable plates and went thru a small gap to get back on line. She got upset and told me Im suppose to go all the way around I told her I was already in line so what was the deal. As she was ringing up my food she was giving me dirty look and didnt load my $90 worth of food into my cart like employees usually do. She needs to be taught better customer service regardless of what she suppose to ring up the food and load back into the cart thats her job

Doing a great job at ensuring their customers safety.

Overall the food selection is fresh and the prices are reasonable. The store is nice and clean and easy to find everything and definitely not as crowded. Checkout lanes are speedy and I never have to wait more than a few minutes.

Poor customer service

Good selection of produce, various proteins, and frozen items. Some items are available in both regular and bulk sizes, and they also have a decent selection of beer.

Unbelievable deals and fresh produce

Nice

This is a decent location. The store is clean and well stocked. Id say its a medium sized store. The Point Loma location is larger and has a better variety of items. The only drawback is the street people that tend to hit you up as you exit the store or load your vehicle. If you live downtown, you accept this as normal.

Always a great place to buy groceries

One of San Diego oldest in that area very convenient with plenty of parking. It is well stocked and very clean the staff very helpful and always happy to help

Is my first time been to Smart and Final in San Diego but I like it

They used to sell Nestle cookie dough in a tub. Now the cookie dough has been switched over to Pillsbury. Not cool man!

Always 5 stars.The First Street brand is as good if not better than many name brands, good prices, great sales.

Double check displayed prices vs cash register prices.

Everytime I shop here Im in awe at the amazing prices. Also, I just want to mention that the staff is always so friendly. Thank you Smart & Final!

Always easy to find what I looking for and clean...100%

Nice to see them actually restocking the shelves

Great place. You can get stuffIn bigger containers and saveCompared to other stores.Etc paid 6.00 other stores youPay over 9.00 for

If you go in there for bargain shopping, only certain items are cheaper most of their items are more expensive than other supermarkets I try to stick to the ad sales.

Fast service and knowledgeable

Cuz they always have what you need.

Went in for some nacho cheese and chips for the kiddos :) ... I enjoy the club like bulks and prices without the club membership fee.

No complaints it was good visit has what you need if you know smart and final.

It was my first time shopping at this smart & final, by it was a very pleasant experience. I will continue to shop there.

Great customer service. Made me feel like I was the most important person in the store.

Pleasent. I gained the grocery I wanted. The store was nt crowded. The cashier was personable & helpful.

Ive been shopping here for over two decades. Great prices and very friendly staff.

Just about everything you need in bulk (food, cleaning supplies) with reasonable prices.

For my first time there at this location well stocked or organized friendly and helpful personnel

Fruits and veggies looked fresh, selection on some items was a bit lacking, meaning they had space for the items there just wasnt anything in them. Prices were slightly higher than Vons.

This is a great store ; good value, variety, and friendly service.

Professional Services, Employees Greet You All Around Awesome Experience Guaranteed 👍👍👍👍👍

They have amazing cashiers that are so kind and helpful. 10/10 👌👌

Great selection, great prices, friendly customer service. Whats not to love?

Rob runs a tight ship. The store is always really clean. The cashiers are always friendly.

Only request for dt store would be more variety of fruit.

I called ahead and asked if this store had Scotchgard. The person who answered left the phone, returned and said yes. I waisted time going there. Manager said they never did have it. uGH!!!

Excellent specials friendly staff

The only thing this SnF is missing is cooked chicken.

Great location great service great store Jimmy is always very helpfull

Always well stocked and nice employees.

Lot of parking convenience because I live close by

Great janitorial supplies quick service

I love this warehouse

Favorite Smart & Final to go too, the Pastrami here is great

Its actually ridiculous how cheap some of the snacks are in this supermarket. A huge bag of Oreos for $2 and bulk chocolate bars for couple dollars.

My favorite downtown place to get all my bulk items. There is no membership fee, making this place a true bargain shopping experience.

Cashier was awesome! Great deals!

Friendly workers, clean facility, fair prices.

Good price on booze

Lots of expired products. Customer service is average. Clean store.

Lower prices on almost everything than Vons. the only things they dont carry that I buy regularly are eggplant and green onions.

Great prices clean location inside

Nice service

Quick, easy to park, good prices

Cool people

So many especial and so many things to find

Great service friendly staff

Nice store!

Clean and fast

Great deals.
