    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.

That said, I've noticed a few things lately that have made it a little harder to shop here, especially as the store seems to be getting busier and busier. The biggest challenge has honestly been the crowds. It feels like the popularity of the market has really grown, which is great to see, but it can make the experience a little overwhelming. I also think it may be worth considering a larger location at some point. Parking can be incredibly difficult, especially if you have a larger vehicle, and getting in and out can sometimes be a challenge. I also recently had an unfortunate experience with a few items I purchased. The girl who helped me at the register was very kind and bagged the majority of my items, but a couple of smaller items were left outside of the bag. I was in a rush and completely forgot to grab them before I left, even though I had already paid for everything. I realized it later and called the store to explain what happened. They were kind enough to put my name on a bag and hold the items for me, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, when I came back later that week to pick them up, the items couldn't be found. It seemed like there was some miscommunication between the staff, which was really disappointing because I had specifically called ahead and was told they would be held for me. I completely understand that things can get misplaced, especially in a busy store, but it was frustrating knowing that I had already paid for the items and had made a trip back specifically to retrieve them. I also didn't have my receipt anymore because I had assumed everything had been placed in my bag, which I realize was ultimately my mistake. It's definitely something I won't let happen again. What was disappointing was that, even though the staff remembered me coming in previously, the items ultimately weren't replaced or resolved. I understand that mistakes happen, but I think this could have been handled a little better. Even with these issues, I still genuinely love Seaside Market and want to see it continue to do well. I know that growing crowds and increased popularity can create challenges, but I do think there are opportunities to improve the overall customer experience, especially when it comes to parking, managing the crowds, and communication between team members. The prices have definitely been climbing, and with the store becoming busier, it's getting a little harder to visit than it used to be. Still, there's a reason I've been coming here for years, and I'll continue to support the market. I just hope they're able to find ways to make the experience a little easier as the business continues to grow.

    The first thing about this market that captured my attention was the BBQ cooking outside…read more I regret, I didn't take any photos of this market because I was in awe in the moment. This market was so unique. It had everything imaginable inside. From the Deli had a lot of prepared meals like salmon and salads to the requesting items over the counter. Huge cheese selection. Had so many dips and spreads. Different types of drinks to alcohol beverages. I need to go back and really explore each aisle and to try that BBQ of course. I ended up buying a Mexican Coca Cola there. I had to buy something since it had a lot of things I love or wanna try in the near future. The cashier was super sweet. Everyone we talked to was really friendly so I am planning a trip back with my Mom to get some yummy dishes.

The one in Rancho (near Spring Valley) just closed. So sad about that. Thankfully, we still have this location. This is such a great spot. The market appeals to shoppers who value freshness, thoughtful sourcing and convenience. There is a huge selected range of fresh produce, including organic and seasonal fruits and vegetables. The meat and seafood department -- my favorite department -- is a standout, offering high-quality cuts of beef, chicken and pork, along with fresh and sushi-grade seafood. The deli and prepared foods section is phenomenal! And it's full service. They have Boar's Head meats and a wide assortment of cheeses, along with house-made salads, sandwiches and ready-to-eat meals. The market also offers a bakery selection with pastries and desserts, as well as artisan breads that pair well with the store's specialty items. My absolute favorite item in this section are the chips, which are fresh, thin, crispy and perfectly salted. I will stop in for the chips alone. Beyond the fresh departments, Harvest carries a thoughtful mix of pantry staples and other products. Shoppers can find specialty oils and vinegars, unique seasonings, sauces, olives and chocolates. The wine selection excellent as well. The overall shopping experience is clean, friendly and personal, and the staff are generally very helpful and knowledgeable. Prices tend to be higher than large grocery chains but, again, this is a specialty store often with much higher quality. One of my favorite grocery stores in San Diego.

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!

It's a great spot for families, with plenty of tables and 2 televisions near the bar to watch the WORLD CUP 2026. The food is priced high for a small grilled salmon with 4 asparagus it was $50 and more of a lunch portion. They have sea bass, clam chowder and a fully stocked bar. Our waiter was nice and friendly but it was slow and we still had to wait for 45 minutes for 4 entrees. I'd still comeback again just wish the food was made faster. Maybe they're a bit understaffed but it was worth going in a Sunday. It's walking distance to Del Mar heights and the Del Mar beach, Del Mar fair was open as well. I had the grilled salmon along with squash but added asparagus since it was a small amount for a dinner priced meal at a restaurant

My pickup experience was mind blowing. I was over 30 minutes away, marked that I was on the way, what kind of car I was in, and literally the second I pulled in, a customer service agent knocked on my window with my bag. Customer service 10/10, surveillance, 10/10 XD The parking lot is stressful and lots of people were hogging the pickup spots because they felt a lot more important than everyone else I guess. Parking is crazy, but the parking lot and storefront are clean. Keep up the great work fine people. I'll be back next time my espresso packets run out. I worked at this WF location for a really short time during the pandemic in the deli. It was really hard work! You have no idea! Be nice to retail and food workers. It's tough work.

Went back again on Aug 29 midday and there were 10-15 cars backed up to get in the parking garage and no spaces on the first 2 floors. Still many shelves were bare or big voids(cottage cheese section, ice cream section). But the biggest problem were the pro shoppers pushing multiple carts, crowding the aisles and making it really difficult to pick up my items. It has become untenable to go here other than for something unavailable elsewhere. The store needs to figure out if they want to be a convenient store they once were or a warehouse for professional shoppers.
