Just go all the way to the back and you'll find plenty of spots. As we walked in, we saw a super long line for the variety of meat being sold at Buy Ranch Direct. Large varieties of Asian vegetables were available at many stalls and I spotted some of the same vegetable vendors from the Long Beach Farmers Market. We loved the variety of food vendors and stopped for some freshly cut and fried Belgian Fries with Garlic Aioli. Perfectly crispy with a super garlicky and delicious aioli. We sampled the Galbi from the Meatbox which was so tender. We wanted to purchase some meat from their freezer section, but it was too hot out to keep in the car for an extended amount of time. They also have a brick and mortar store in Fullerton. Overall, this Farmers Market is spacious enough not to feel crowded. I would definitely come back. One thing I found odd was that there was no place to sit to eat. No benches and no tables. Everyone was sitting on a curb.

While shopping at Gelson's on San Miguel Dr. in Newport Beach, I was looking for a hand basket for…read moremy items and asked an employee where I might find one. She was very mechanical, unfocused, and pointed in a general direction. As I was walking around looking, I noticed a gentleman who appeared to be on the management team so I asked him the same question. His name is Fred. Instead of just telling me where the shopping hand baskets are kept, Fred literally escorted me across the store, picked one up, and respectfully handed it to me. Fred went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of as a guest in his store. Fred is the epitome of excellent customer service and outstanding management. Thank you Gelson's for having Fred on your team!

Upon walking in, the barista was friendly and open to answering any and all questions. Ambiance was also great and fit the name of the cafe and its vibes. For the drinks, we got an iced toffee latte and the kepania, which is their version of a spanish latte. I liked the toffee latte more cause it had bits of toffee in it but I also liked the spanish latte as it tasted lighter than the toffee latte. It gave the drinks more of a balance when I started taking sips from both of them. I do really like how the top layer of the lattes were blue, which gives off a great aesthetic. The only downside for me was that the toffee latte lost a good amount of its flavor after some of the ice melted-- some cafes still have a strong coffee taste even after the ice melts & that's usually what I like as far as preference. As for the sunbliss blend smoothie, it definitely had that taste of the 100% real fruit in it and was a refreshing drink to sip on when I walked at the beach. It's a plus for this cafe for having plenty of options between drinks and bites!

I arrived an entire HOUR before the posted closing time and the store was already closed. Not 5 minutes early. Not 10 minutes early. A FULL HOUR. I realize expecting a grocery store to remain open during the hours it advertises may be an unreasonable standard these days, so perhaps Ralphs could simplify things and change the sign to: "Open until whenever." Would've saved me the drive. Absolutely ridiculous.
