Marina Del Rey Gelsons is the worst! Meat on shelves expired. Lettuce is brown, etc. it's sad. Been shopping at Gelsons for over 30 years. This Gelsons is bad. Live other Gelsons. This one is different. I now drive further to Santa Monica Gelsons . It's better!

There was a time when shopping at Gelson's meant something. Aisles and aisles of gourmet foods and specialty items. In many ways, Gelson's was ahead of its time long before Whole Foods and Erewhon became the gold standard in premade foods and health-conscious items. I did not like this location at all. It was like a maze to get inside. A broken elevator and then confusing signage finally let me to a dark stairwell and then store entrance. Granted, the staff was very nice and helpful (thank you) but it was like shopping in a cave. They carry lots of wild fish and organic poultry which was the draw to shop but other items were priced extremely high - others not. I was also surprised that other common items had very little selection like bottled water and organic produce. All in all, I was disappointed by this dark, dingy location. It felt like the old, dated Hughes stores of the 90s and not in a good way. When I shop for groceries, I look for value, quality, and variety. Unfortunately, this Gelson's doesn't aim for that.

Honestly you can never go wrong with Gelsons. Their little cheesecakes are a MUST, don't leave without getting at least two to go and two for your significant other!

The Meat Dept Manager was so nice and accomodating! The check out associate was also extremely nice. The service is top notch in this store.

I have to say, this place is pricey, but it's worth it. Nobody has a better inventory or better quality Gelsons. I love this place, although I may not like the prices very much.

Surprisingly good prices and deals. Some things are cheaper than other stores, but not everything, and their selection is not as big. However it's nice. Parking is not easy the first time you go unless you read this ahead... pull into parking garage and DRIVE DOWN one level. Otherwise you'll be left perplexed as to where it even is and how to get there. I do like it here tho because it's rarely crowded and it's nicer inside than pavilions or ralphs. At least check it out. They have things I can't find elsewhere, like gluten free puff pastry sheets.

I arrived at Gelson's after 5 pm and the florist had gone home. A very nice young woman who was bagging helped me wrap my flowers. It was kind of her. She did not have to do this but she did it for me.

The bakery inside Gelson's Marina del Rey is amazing. The ladies at the bakery we're very helpful and knowledgeable, the croissants and all of their Bakery goods were very fresh and they have a selection that no other Gelson's has. If you have a sweet tooth and are in the area I suggest you go there before you go anywhere else because I guarantee you you'll find something that you like, great service with an amazing selection.

Although there are a couple of other grocery stores in the immediate area, I always select Gelson’s in the Marina. I continually receive curious service from excellently trained staff. Whether you need to know where a product is or suggestions regarding a product, someone is always available to help you. I’m an Events Director so I know excellent service and Gelson’s has never failed.

High price, poor quality. 3 dollars for a pepper which was not fresh. Not a store to visit again.

Although I do not shop here on a regular, the store is very clean and has a lot of products that are unique and hard to find.We mainly frequent this Gelson's location for their baker. Love their baker. They have delicious sweet treats. If you have sweet tooth your going to want to try their bakery.

I got sushi here thinking it'd be better quality than in other grocery stores and it was disappointingly bad (and not cheap either!). The rice was really dry - I couldn't even finish it - and the fish was okay but not perceptibly better than Pavilions...! My partner has been feeling poorly today too, so I'd not buy ready-made food here again. I also agree that Gelson's is significantly pricier than other grocery stores for the same exact products. Their pastries are good, however.
