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.

We were bored this Saturday and decided that we should try the Cardiff Crack sandwich. Got there…read morearound 6pm and the parking lot was packed. We were still able to find parking quickly. There is only outdoor seating so dress for the weather. Coastal weather in May makes it cool as it approaches evening. I ordered the classic crack sandwich and my wife got their Philly sandwich. Both had lots of meat! Mine had some meat sitting in the container . We also got fries and their artichoke dill pasta salad. It was all tasty. Be prepared to wait in line but also check outside for their canopy serving sandwiches there also. Plenty of outdoor seating. People started clearing out as it got closer to 7pm. While it is out of the way for us we plan to return.

My department (approximately 40 people) stayed at the Courtyard Solano Beach. The Bistro is located…read morewithin the hotel by the pool area. The hotel provided each of us with a voucher for a "Grab and Go" breakfast at The Bistro which was pretty much continental breakfast items from prepackaged muffins, yogurt, bagels, apples, bananas, coffee, and juice. I really had no complaints for the breakfast as the choices were typical for a continental breakfast. However, I'm really downgrading them on the boxed lunches they provided. They were originally going to charge us $12.95 per person for sandwiches and wraps. We thought this was pricey for sandwiches and wraps and were already looking into other alternatives. Our administrative assistant was able to negotiate the price to $10.95 per person, but drinks WOULD NOT be included. We stocked up on drinks and packed them in coolers on the bus so we were okay on the drink situation. Our Choices for our Boxed Lunches were the following: ======================================== Sandwich/Wrap Choices - Ham, Turkey, Roast Beef, or Vegetarian Toppings: Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Mayo, Mustard, Cheese Bread: Sourdough, Wheat, Flatbread Salad: House or Caesar Salad Side: Chips or Whole Fresh Fruit We were traveling north and made a stop in San Clemente to eat our lunch. The one positive I can say is that they wrote our names on each boxed lunch. The food was not up to par at all. We were also missing a lunch so two people ended up splitting a sandwich. One of my coworkers ordered a Vegetarian Wrap and it consisted of crumbly flatbread, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Her response was "What is this? A mayonnaise wrap!?" Lettuce and Tomato were from the "topping" choices so where's the rest of the veggies? My other friend ordered a salad and it consisted of wet romaine lettuce. There were no other vegetables or other ingredients in her salad, no tomatoes, cucumber, carrots... nothing. The lettuce didn't even fill up the container. I ordered a Turkey Sandwich on wheat bread with lettuce, tomato, cheese and mustard. My sandwich was really dry with no flavor. I had to put a lot of mustard on it to be able to eat any of it and ended up throwing most of it away. I also got a side of fruit (which was supposed to be "Whole Fresh Fruit" and it was 1 piece of dried up pineapple, two grapes, and a piece of crunchy honeydew. There was a consensus among most of us that we did not enjoy the lunch at all. (I totally forgot to take any photos.) What they gave us was so not worth $10.95. Last year we also catered boxed lunches and I had a turkey sandwich but in comparison, that sandwich was 100 times better. I'm glad we packed extra snacks on the bus, I ended up filling up on a chocolate chip cookie from Free Birds from the day before, Cheetos, and Arizona green tea since the lunch was a total fail. I really wished we had used another establishment for our lunch, but used The Bistro based purely on convenience. I don't think The Bistro is known for its catering, but if that's not what they do then they shouldn't have told us this was an option and we could have gone somewhere else. 147/100 Reviews for 2015

My questions were thoroughly answered, and I always left feeling confident in managing all my medications. They also have good prices (on par with other discount pharmacies), but what really makes them stand out is the care, compassion, and attentive service they provide. The staff always treated me like a member of the family! They are lovely people, who genuinely talk and connect with you as a person, not just a number. They are such a bright spot in my health care team. Seriously, when I tell you this place is the real deal, I mean it.  I gladly travel 30+ minutes to fill my prescriptions at RSF Pharmacy.

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.

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!
