Go for the deli and quality groceries. Yes the groceries are pretty pricey compared to some other other supermarket offerings, but they’re selection of higher-quality brand certainly justifies some of the higher price points. I as well as many other Shore I’m feeling the hurt of inflation and rising grocery places. There are definitely some lunch staples that you can get at Gelson’s for under $10 and get yourself a really quality lunch.

The store and staff excellent….the bakery working in the front great but the people who are baking not so great. I pre order one day before picking up to have the bake good . They took more than one hour to cook the bake good and had me come again and again. Has happen more then ow incident. I hoping that with this complaint they will change things or improve.

I appreciate GELSON'S supermarket for its excellent selections of conventional, gluten free and vegan foods. Service is first rate. Parking is free and easy. There are many ADA compatible spaces.

Recently, they refreshed her quite a bit. The bakery got larger, the flower shop more convenient, the fresh meat and poultry section grew, and the condiments have moved alongside the fruits and vegetables. There is now a greatly expanded cheese selection, and a surprisingly complete wine and hard liquor department.¹

Gelson's has staff butchers and fishmongers, to cut and prepare to your recipe's requirements.

Gelson's is still the same wonderful market with good people working inside. Ask about an item and the employee walks you to it. Want something special? They'll try to order it for you. The store manager stands at a desk directly in front of the check out lines. Because Gelson's is a medium sized chain, lots of new products are tested here. If they are well received, you will soon find them in other markets.²

The Deli offers a selection of restaurant quality, prepared foods. Roast beef, prime rib, and turkey, with gravy and trimmings, are hand sliced to order. "Wolfgang Puck" prepares custom pizza, salads, and sandwiches. Just a few steps away, sushi and other Japanese delicacies are made to order. And there's even a fresh squeezed juice bar.

The soup, olive, and salad bars are large and well maintained.

The expansive fruit and vegetable department is continuously and artfully maintained.

At the front of the store, Viktor Benes Bakery, a concession, is creative and delicious. Custom cakes and breads are baked and decorated to order. A selection of gelato is offered. They brew excellent coffee drinks.

Next to the bakery, fresh cut and potted plants are displayed. Floral arrangements are displayed and can be customized to order.

On the protected patio, tables, chairs, and when the valley is a bit chilly, a glowing fireplace provide a comfortable place to enjoy a quick bite, or a break while shopping.

Film and television personalities are often seen, particularly in the late evening after production wraps.

Gelson's Market is a bit expensive, but the quality of the food and the excellent service makes a difference.

STUFF: Order using the internet for in-store pickup or delivery. Easy free parking. An employee will deliver your groceries to your car. Wheelchair accessible parking, and at the front of the store on the left, gender-neutral, ADA compatible bathrooms. An electric shopping cart is available.

¹ Bernard and Eugene Gelson opened their first supermarket in July 1951. This, their second store opened in Encino Ca, in 1960.
² There are currently 27 Gelson's Markets in Southern California; since 2014 the chain has been owned by the Japanese retailer, Pan Pacific International Holdings.

I went to gelsons just to get rush creek reserve for the holidays and the cheese monger cut the cheeses in half vertically! The whole point of spruce wrapped cheese is to open the top and the spruce supports the sides for a very elegant presentation. They cut ALL that was left. cutting it in half also leaves chunks of spruce in the cheese you are trying to eat! . It sucks because rush creek is so hard to get

The ladies that work in the bakery during the morning shift are dynamite! They’ve made the last four years great. Oswaldo is fantastic in the deli. He cares about product he puts out to the customers.
