Gelson's Del Mar is a gourmet grocery store at 2707 Via De La Valle, Del Mar, CA 92014, directly across the street from Flower Hill Promenade, and it holds the distinction of being the largest Gelson's location in San Diego. The Gelson's brand dates back to 1951, when brothers Eugene and Bernie Gelson opened their first store in Burbank, California, drawing on their family's Iowa grocery roots and a commitment to premium service. This Del Mar outpost, which opened in 2016, goes well beyond a conventional supermarket with amenities that include an Intelligentsia Coffee bar, a full-service Market Pharmacy, a Wine and Craft Beer Bar for on-site sipping, a Cheese Cart, an Olive Cart, a Hot Food Bar, a Liquiteria Smoothie and Juice Bar, a Seafood and Sushi Bar, and Wolfgang's build-your-own-pizza station. The produce department earns consistent praise for freshness and variety, and the in-store bakery turns out everything from custom cakes to specialty cupcakes. A florist department rounds out the one-stop shopping experience with arrangements for any occasion. Just a block east on Via De La Valle, Armstrong Garden Centers complements the Gelson's trip for homeowners picking up both groceries and garden supplies in a single outing. Gelson's accepts SNAP/EBT alongside all major credit and debit cards, and the store offers delivery, in-store pickup, and a rewards points program. Hours run daily from 6 AM to 10 PM.
