    Olive Oil Bar
    Kelly W.

    Are you ready to trade about 20-30% higher prices for convenience? Then, Gelson's is for you! The hot bar, poké bar, floral market, deli, patisserie, olive oil bar, etc. are all great, and full of fun, tasty options for you to get a quick meal, or stock up for a picnic or event. They even have an actual bar if you want to toss a couple back before you shop for the bougie essentials! The service is always efficient, friendly, and helpful (especially the pizza guy! He's great!), and the store itself is clean and well-stocked. However, it's always WAY more expensive than other markets. What you're paying for is the convenience of its location (I live relatively close and it's on the way home), and the ability to buy "regular" stuff, as well as fun/convenient items. Overall, a nice place to shop.

    I have been visiting this Gelson's off and on for the past 3 years as I've occasionally been doing some work in the area. The store is very organized, well-stocked, and clean. While prices lean towards the higher side, they carry many products and brands that you can't find elsewhere. I come for specific things they carry like gigantic crunchy Peruvian corn snacks, Mighty Leaf tea, and a brand of lactose-free yogurt my wife loves. They also have a great variety of cheeses in their deli area that I often peruse and their wine selection is great. They don't have self-checkout so you need to go through a checkstand. Every time I've gone they're understaffed, so there's always a long wait in line where I've been checked out by glowering employees. I will say I was surprised on my most recent visit to be checked out by a smiling, energetic woman, which was a refreshing change.

    Definitely a great high end market with great cooked foods, salads, and bakery. Fresh vegetables, meats and seafoods. Plenty of choices of high end or Gelson branch name. Big parking lot and with outdoor and balcony overlook the harbor view. Store is well keep and well organized with friendly staff. Bright and homey feeling upon walking. Fresh flower, great smell of good baked just make you want to buy more stuffs then you support to. As for the prices, well they are on the high end so if you're on budget, look at the prices first. Great place, great quality, great staff and plenty of great choices to shop.

    Hatch chile fest
    Peter H.

    Drove by Saturday morning and to my surprise there was an event happening right before my eyes. It was Gelson's "Catch the Hatch" sale for their hatch pepper/hatch chiles. From 8am-2pm, a small collection of tents were set up offering freshly roasted hatch peppers ranging from mild to very hot. After the peppers get scorched, they are then filled into plastic bags to steam up and subsequently sold in cardboard boxes. A DJ was spinning 80s pop music while a light rain droplets were falling on a cloudy day. The smells were alluring and inviting in part coming off of their grill. Hamburgers patties and sausages mixing in the mild variety hatch pepper and cheese were being made fresh. I tried their hamburger, a whopping juicy chunk of meat with lettuce and tomatoes. As far as breakfast goes, it was kinda unusual but no doubt a memorable one. In addition, other food businesses brought samples of snacks, drinks, and even ice cream into the fold. Had no idea Gelson's had these types of events, but now I'll keep an eye out for others.

    Sushi bar menu

    What better food place can you go to on a Friday night than the grocery store! Their shareable menu is good to share or if you are dining solo. The gentleman that takes care of the wine bar knows his crowd and gives the whole place a homey type feeling even though it's sitting in the corner of the grocery store deli. My usual order is the steak frites at a whopping $13!!! Who can beat quality steak frites at $13?!

    Clean store full of quality products. They have their own private lot, no street parking. The employees are extremely nice, professional, and charming. Here you can find items that are not available at other markets.

    Premade cheese board. - $33.03
    Victoria M.

    Gelson's is my go-to spot for freshly made grab-and-go grub. The selection is abundant - featuring everything from premade cheeseboards, a sushi station, a poki bar, hot stations, soup bars, dessert stations, a wine and beer bar, they even have an olive oil and vinegar bar, which I hadn't considered as a necessity before it came into my life via Gelson's. Each of these bars is staffed and the service is top-notch. I've always found the staff to be friendly and happy to provide samples or recommendations. My favorite things to buy are: - Cheese Boards: The perfect blend of gourmet cheeses and accompaniments (pictured: $33.03) - Cake bites: The Decadent, which is a gluten-free dark-chocolate cake that can be purchased as a full cake or single serve cake bites The ambiance is equally as impressive, as the store is always clean and fully-stocked. It's also significantly less crowded than other grocery stores, with little to no wait time at grocery check out. It's worth noting that Gelson's can be a bit on the pricier end, which is why I only pop-in for the premade items that I'm looking for and do the bulk of my shopping at more affordable stores. With that said, the premade products are worth the price-tag due to their high-quality and the exceptional service that comes with them.

The pineapple added to what's basically a Cuban style sandwich sounds different at first, but it works perfectly. The balance of sweet, savory, crispy, and smoky was spot on. Everything tasted super fresh and the bread held everything together perfectly without getting soggy. My original plan was to eat half and save the rest for later... yeah, that didn't happen. Ended up finishing the whole thing because it was that good. Service was friendly, food came out quick, and the whole spot had a really chill local vibe. Definitely a hidden gem if you're in the area. Highly recommend this place and I'll for sure be back to try more off the menu.

Soppressata, mortadella, bacon, extra onions, pickles & tomatoes. A satisfying, filling sub sandwich that made for a pleasurable lunch. A nominal wait, the meat were freshly sliced, and assembling the sandwich with plump & crisp vegetables, it was worth every minute of delay. The cashier was friendly & a pleasure to deal with, too.

    My entire food journey started in a Columbia, Maryland food court at The Mall and a grilled Reuben…read moreat the age of 13. Since then the grilled Reuben has been my measuring stick for every restaurant that serves it. It's a must! It shows the attention to detail. It's not a sandwich you can rush. It requires its own time to caramelize and set the flavors up properly. Just like a house made soup, a Grilled Reuben can tell you a lot. And, it just happens to be my favorite sandwich of all time! So. High marks on the store itself. It has a very open air feel, lots of natural lighting, high ceilings and then a hidden court yard behind the shop. It's very clean with lots of colors and art. The music is perfect for the space. The menu is varied and they have both alcoholic drinks and non alcoholic drinks. It's a deli. And they absolutely fill the roll perfectly. And as anyone will tell you, who frequents any deli in the country. What matters is the food. Period. All the niceties mean nothing if the food distant stand up. So... how did they do? Meh. I've had worse. Much worse. I've also had much better. And understand his is my personal opinion. I'm well aware that my comments will not reflect the opinion of everyone. But, the corned beef. They do not cook it in house. It didn't appear to be a brisket although with it being shaved as thinly as it is I don't know if that would help. Brisket corned beer works best when it's nice thick beautiful cuts that break apart and melt in your mouth. But. As you can see in the picture, they don't grill the corned beef but they do pile it pretty darn high. Which is nice. The sauerkraut wasn't grilled. The rye wasn't roasted long enough so the Swiss didn't properly melt and set. Not enough Thousand Island dressing. The rye has the perfect texture and it helps to very nicely. An excellent Jewish rye! The pesto pasta salad was very nice. And it looked as if the other sides were made with an equal amount of attention and love. So high marks there. This is one of those tough reviews because the reality is the atmosphere, the staff and the location are all excellent. The sandwich needs some work. Remember that the Grilled Reuben is the ONLY TRUE American Sandwich. It was created from scratch for the 1942 World's Fair in New York City. It's an original! Treat it with the respect it deserves. And this three star sandwich... of all sandwiches is a hard pass. Sorry. But, if you would ever like to have me come into your restaurant and show you how to serve the best Reuben of your life... just invite me back. I'd love to show you how to make some simple tweaks and turn a meh into a don't miss!
