Guys... this is a liquor store. For anyone expecting *top of the line - extraordinary* customer…read moreservice, you aren't going to get that here. The two guys that (I'm assuming) run the store are genuinely nice and do exactly what they're supposed to! If anyone has ever worked in customer service - you would know how absolutely exhausting it is to work with people ALL DAY. God forbid a liquor store at that... Cut them some slack, seriously. As for the actual products, I can't say much about the alcohol but the selection of snacks is honestly great! Lots of non-alcoholic drinks + a small selection of essentials (like batteries for example). I always come here for snacks and drinks. Easy in and out, no hassle, everything is set up very clearly organized as well. *As for the "labubu review", this is LIQUOR STORE. Of course it's going to be fake. Come here with the expectation that it's a liquor store, it's honestly fine and has everything it's supposed to.

The previous owners were amazing. Friendly, kind and always had a smile for you. They were a…read morebeautiful family of four. I was devastated to hear the father died suddenly and they were forced to sell. But I hoped the mom and kids found their way because they deserved it. I was encouraged that the new buyers remodeled and offered more. But prices went up and friendliness was non existent. No hello, no smile, no nothing. Making it very clear they don't want to be there or even spend two minutes checking you out on their overpriced goods. I'm a block away, and after two years, I'm done. I won't spend another dime there. I'll drive two blocks east to see a fellow human being who smiles and is welcoming. This life is tough for us all, I finally asked "Do you not like working here?" And he went off on me, taken aback by the question...then said "I've been here all day" ...i responded with I spent all day working too and I still managed to show kindness to others, especially customers" he obviously didn't like that but I don't care. I'm done. We can choose where to spend our hard earned money and I won't spend another cent there. I hope their hatred of the job encourages them to sell and the next owners are good people. I'll go back then.

3-4 stars. I've been in here before for a Tuna Salad Sandwich! I added a few things like lettuce,…read moretomato, mayo, pepperoncini. The sandwich tasted good and they gave a lot in the sandwich. You can choose the bread you want as well. I also grabbed a bag of chips. But these were all separate prices. Too bad there wasn't a special lunch price of sandwich, chips, and a drink. I guess they don't get many customers to make that a thing. I just came by again (December 20th, Saturday) and was informed that the deli portion wasn't open today sadly. So they aren't reliant on that aspect, they should have posted a sign outside to inform people. I just bought some chips for 2.99 -- which is not bad compared to grocery store prices but the bags are smaller and less is given as well so take that into account. At least they accept cash! And drinks are refrigerated so they are nice and cool and refreshing if you were to buy one.

I was in the area for work and this spot was recommended to me. It sits rights on the main road…read morewhich is great, although be careful with parking as the city of Del Mar loves to hand out parking tickets. The deli is within the liquor store and its super easy to order your sandwich. The staff were very friendly and quick. I ordered the Manhattan sandwich and I added bacon. I walked a couple blocks down and enjoyed the sandwich by the beach. It was very flavorful and I was happy with my choice. The price was great and I felt like it was worth it. Drinks within the liquor store are a bit pricey, but thats to be expected in Del Mar. The spot is busy but that doesn't affect their quality or speed, and it seems you can even place an order over the phone. Overall a very nice spot to get lunch at.

OK, it's Friday night and you live in Cardiff or you're visiting Cardiff what are you gonna have…read morefor dinner that everyone is gonna love? You're gonna go into Seaside and go to the counter and say I want the classic Cardiff crack sandwich, which will feed at least two people and maybe a kid beside. Then you gotta go down and lock the chip aisle and get your favorite chips. Maybe a nice bottle of wine check out go home and eat! When we first moved down here, I wasn't a huge fan of Cardiff crack, but I've become to look forward to every chance I get to have it. I know why it's a legend, so if you're in the neighborhood, stop and get it.

This place is our go-to for just about everything whenever we stay in Cardiff. On weekends, their…read morebreakfast platter is a must-have--it comes with French toast, eggs, thick-cut bacon, and a potato pancake. The portion is generous enough to share, and it's so much easier than dealing with the crowds, parking, long waits, or having to bus your own table like we seem to encounter at so many places around San Diego. For dinner, we often stop by the deli and seafood counter to pick up cooked shrimp and a few sides. We take everything back to our Airbnb, warm it up, and enjoy a relaxing dinner on the patio. It's become one of our favorite vacation traditions. The dessert case is incredible, and choosing just one treat is nearly impossible! I do miss the tuxedo custard mousse cake (or whatever it was called)--it was absolutely delicious. It's also a great place to grab lunch meats, fresh rolls, or bread for easy beach sandwiches. Best of all, the staff is consistently friendly and genuinely enjoys chatting with customers. I've had so many pleasant conversations with people at the seafood, meat, and deli counters over the years. Great food, great service, and always a stop we look forward to on every trip.

First I love local businesses and secondly I love small local businesses.Mar Vista is exactly that…read more Great service from Marc who runs it I believe his family started it so then I love that even more. Full of every kind of liquor and wine you'd ever want in a good conversation with Marc every time. Last time I told him my wife only drinks vodka and he said oh do I have a bottle for you? I thought oh no what's next and he brings out this little bottle for $7.99. He said let me know what she thinks so I had to walk in the next day and buy two more it was that good he has now become my go to local spot to buy wine, beer and booze.

There is nothing better than RSF Pharmacy! Everyone there is professional, incredibly kind, and…read moretruly goes the extra mile. They take the time to explain every medication and make sure you feel completely informed. They even went out of their way to help me get a medication that another pharmacy told me was "no longer available." Turns out, it was available--they just didn't want to cover the cost. RSF Pharmacy made sure I got exactly what I needed without hesitation. The whole place runs with the kind of care you feel the moment you walk in -personal, attentive, and trustworthy. Highly recommend!!!!

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!
