JONS Fresh Marketplace

Different grocery store with different selections, unlike any other. The meat department offers some stuff you typically don't see any where else at least not on any kind of regular basis. Turkey wings and tails. Duck. Beef shanks the best price I've ever seen. Pork Spare ribs fresh. Everything is fresh, nothing previously frozen like at Ralph's or Albertsons. Just recently picked up some fresh beef oxtails for a good price, that's a rare find. It used to be peasant food long ago but then it became in demand..Interesting ice cream choices I think from Russia and foreign countries you don't find anywhere else. Good prices on tequila at times and other spirits. I found an old school Mars chocolate bar here they don't sell anywhere else. I think it's from the UK. Also a wide variety of Latino foods.Clean store and from the meat department to the checkers the service is top notch.

I tagged along to come visit JONS Market and it looked like a pretty neat store. I was most impressed how retro this place feels. It didn't feel like I was in Southern California at all. Maybe a small vibe of the 80s or 90s? Whatever it was, I liked browsing through the store. We first headed to the meat section and saw some pretty good prices on their value pack chicken and also some pork ribs. I think the chicken was about $1.79 a pound, while the pork ribs were about $14 for a family pack. It looked like a pretty good deal, especially with the chicken. JONS has a lot of general grocery items and also a huge frozen section in the middle of the store. It was like walking through the Throne Room in Star Wars (haha geek alert!). But more like a corridor. Cashiers are also friendly and it was a zip checking out.

We do not always shop at JONS but when we do it is because we know that it is available. One thing we do is to compare the weekly advertisements of several grocery stores. We then come to JONS to take advantage of the old world European products that often are ony to be found at JONS. This time the lovely missus found items she needed and I explored the wine section. Our favorite Stella Rosa Pink is quickly put in the shopping cart. I also found Andre California Champagne, a bottle of Rossi Sangria and a seasonal drink I wanted to try; Pennsylvania Dutch Egg Nog, a concoction of blended rum and whiskey to fight the wintery coldness at night. JONS has much to offer but we had already completed all the items we needed and I added all the items as a want rather than a need. I think I'll be happy during this holiday season and I know if that Egg Nog is keeping me warm, that I'll be back for more.

On the hunt for a "kulich," which is an orthodox Eastern bread last Saturday, I heard Jons had a good selection of various items from Eastern Europe, so I drove the 30 minutes from Long Beach to scope it out. It delivered! I found a Kulich, although it was priced at $25 which was incredibly expensive and thus the 4-stars.I was also able to find some other items like olivye, beet salad, and other various Eastern European comfort items. Their freezer had ice cream, pelmeni, and other items from Ukraine and other parts of Eastern Europe. There was also a great selection of produce including dill without any packaging at a good price, which is sometimes difficult to find.I'll definitely stop in here when I'm in the area to pick up more specialty (and non specialty) goodies!

Jon's has THE BEST produce. Fruits and Vegetables at incredible prices! I come here every year for cherries because their 99 cents per lb cannot beat anywhere else!! The current price elsewhere is $3.99 - $5.99 per lb.The fruits and vegetables are always fresh and plentiful. The bakery is also reasonable and they have great tres leches cake!

I was amazed by the cheap produce Jons offers!! Corn s and grapes are in season so I got 12 corns and 2 bags of grapes! Also found a bunch of frozen food way cheaper than Walmart and Stater Bros. What a loot!

The secret is out on their baguette and by the time I got there on Christmas Eve they had completely sold out. Needless to say, I was devastated. Some of the employees told me people were hoarding them, buying 6 or more at a time...These people need to be publicly lashed! I came back the next day(Xmas) and they weren't baking baguette at all. I'm assuming to ruin my Christmas! Thanks, Jon's! For making a baguette so delicious I can't even get one anymore. PS- Hungarian Pick Salami for the win!!!

I shopped here and it was so clean and spacious. Prices are comparable to any store but the choices and brands are more unique. They have a great meat department. Also there a few packaged smoked salmon and other fish that is fresh and worth trying.

7/1/23 called to see if they carry (Lumpia Wrap) very department young girl don't know, transfered me to front desk, she don't know, transfered me to a guy...a guy that knows phone rang and rang and rang and rang 30 minutes later still ringing. Hung up and called again this time I pushed (0) rand rand rand....20 minutes later just ringing I hung up. Great customer service don't you think. I'm guessing that why in 15 years I've only been here once and I literally live across the street.

On my way back from a cruise, I decided to stop by this market to pick up groceries. It's not the typical Jon's Marketplace I'm used to from Glendale/Burbank. What I mean by that is that the Armenian foods are limited but you can still find certain items in the frozen or deli section. Considering that I now live in Carlsbad, my options are limited and this was a great option without having to drive to LA.The deli was well stocked and the staff were very helpful. The produce section is plentiful and fresh. I needed extra dill and there weren't any in the section. It was early in the morning and the gentleman who was filling the produce was working in another section. I asked if they had more dill and he went to the back and brought an entire box to pick from. This kind of service is amazing!Everyone I interacted with was very polite and and helpful. I will be coming to this location when I need to fill up on certain Armenian items in my kitchen. Great market!
