Gelson's Marina Del Rey is considered one of the best and most amazing gourmet grocery stores. Shoppers can choose delicious ready-made meals from the salad bar, full-service deli, Wolfgang Puck Express Grab and Go, and a carving station. The bakery makes the best blueberry pie and many baked goods. The store offers an extensive flower section with gorgeous arrangements and custom gift baskets. The meat and fish and cheese counters are very high quality, and there is fresh produce. It is a great store for special items and hard to find items with great across the board quality, even if a bit more in cost in certain areas. Parking is never a problem with well-lit underground parking. The staff are better than any other store, friendly, and provide the epitome of customer service, making shopping a joy and safe for the whole family.
