Love this fancy Ralph's, because they have an upgraded deli, cheese, bread, and dessert section…read more Whenever I'm in the area, I try to stop and see what they have that looks interesting. I love that Ralph's marks down categories like bagged vegetables, fresh salad dressings, etc that other market chains don't discount. A lot of the time, I walk the outer perimeter and never even make it to the center of the store. They also have a larger selection of chips, snacks, etc. Craft sodas, unusual beers, you got it. This parking lot can be like Mad Max, with people battling it out for prime spots. Be on your toes for people backing in, and then leaving the wrong way.

This store is always great to visit. We stopped by here on the way to the San Diego County fair in…read moreDel Mar. What I like about the store is that they always seem to have clean aisles, clean floors, and all of the items are put together very well on the shelves. When we walked in, we needed to find sunscreen, and there was a cashier who was nice enough to offer to help us find it. She directed us to where it was. The prices for the sunscreen are super competitive and very reasonable. I also found that they have the deli section near the produce department (on the left of the store). My husband and I peruse some of the things to see if we were going to have anything before we went to the fair. He ended up getting a packaged sandwich. I only got the sunscreen. It's always a good experience when we come here and we appreciate that Gelson is a small grocer in San Diego.

Love me some grocery shopping!!…read more If you're a fan of Whole Foods and Sprouts than this spot may be your jam! With that said, you must have expensive taste. Quality over quantity baby!! Pros: - Parking jackpot - Tons of parking in Del Mar (rare and appreciated) - Beautiful location - Surrounded by other shops, makes errands fee a little bougie - Clean and spacious - Wide aisles, organized layout, and easy to get in and out - Fun fact - I can spend hours at a grocery store browsing through the aisles looking at new products. - Hot food and prepared meals - Chef's kiss - perfect spot for a quick lunch they never miss - Health food heaven - A health nut dream if your wallet can keep up! I was tempted to buy some yummy new products but hesitated due to the price point. But trust, it is well worth it. - Gourmet and hard-to-find items - Great for when you're feeling fancy or experimental - Local products - love supporting local vendors - Friendly staff - super welcoming and go the extra mile - Not too crowded even on a Saturday - that's always a plus! Cons: - Prices = emotional damage - You go in for snacks, come out reconsidering your life choices LOL - Regular items can cost more - Your basic groceries will definitely be pricier than standard markets - Upscale vibes = upscale bill - Go figure! Final thoughts: This place is perfect for browsing, treating yourself, or grabbing a solid ready-made meal. It's not your everyday budget grocery run especially in this economy so shop wisely. Great spot though when you just want to splurge and treat yo'self! Health is wealth they say!

The space is clean and minimalist. There are two or three places to sit inside and a few tables and chairs outside. I would definitely come again, but my main complaint is that they are not as healthy as it plays it off to be. I looked up the nutrition info on the app and there is a ton of carbs and sugar. I guess it's a "cleaner" option than traditional ice cream but I would not consider this to be healthy. It was a refreshing treat, however.

Because yumm! I really wanted a sweet treat so we stopped in. Whew was it warm in there! The AC seemed to be out. As I waited for the very nice staffer to finish up with another customer...I kept opening the very large entry door to get the cooler Coastal breeze. It was a warm day but definitely the breeze was beautiful and better than the stuffiness inside. I asked her if she had a door stopper and she said she might but would need to check. They had a puppy water bowl too. That's nice for them on a hot day. Next it was our turn to order. She allowed us to sample before we made our choices. Mmmm the mango was Devine but I opted for the Dark Cherry! *note whole milk is the only option here for a milkshake.

I honestly never thought I'd be writing a review like this about Starbucks, but today's experience…read morewas incredibly disappointing and honestly just sad. All I asked for was a small cup of ice because I had my own container with me. I wasn't asking for a drink, a refill, or anything complicated--just a little ice. Instead of a simple act of kindness, the store manager, Jackie, immediately shut it down and told me I couldn't have ice unless I made a purchase because of some "store policy" that's supposedly been in place for a year. The thing is, I've been to countless Starbucks locations and have never once encountered this issue. Not once. So being called out and refused over something so small felt unnecessary and honestly embarrassing. What made the situation even more frustrating is that another customer overheard what happened, placed an order, and kindly offered to get the ice for me himself. That simple gesture from a stranger showed more customer service and humanity than what I received from the staff. It also left me wondering: How does anyone know whether I had already purchased something earlier at another location that day? How does anyone know if I'm a regular customer who comes in multiple times a week? To deny such a small and harmless request felt incredibly disheartening and distasteful. As the only Black person in the store at the time, the whole interaction also felt uncomfortable enough that it raised questions about whether I was being treated differently. Whether that was the intent or not, that's unfortunately how the situation came across. So if you are African-American, just know you could be treated in different at this location. I'm also someone who believes in second chances. In fact, I've removed negative reviews in the past when businesses made things right or showed some level of understanding. I truly prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt. But sometimes actions simply don't warrant a second chance, and unfortunately today felt like one of those moments. It's unfortunate that experiences like this push customers to Yelp to share their dissatisfaction, but perhaps that explains why this location already has such a low rating. A moment that could have been solved with a tiny bit of kindness instead turned into a very disappointing experience. Sadly, this might be another chain I have to cross off my list Looking at these other reviews, it looks like a pattern of someone else being discriminated against and horrendous treatment from a customer service standpoint. Do some people just feel entitled in a position of management? You are young and you still have time to correct your ways. I wish you and your staff the best.

Sadly, the Starbucks closest to our home is the ONLY Starbucks that has a few unfriendliest baristas we've ever encountered.

Seeing the many bad reviews this Starbucks has encountered on Yelp, I can see we are not the only ones who feel this way.
