Gelson's La Costa/Carlsbad

Great stuff but very pricey

Love the employees.The store manager is ALWAYS willing to help and asks for our suggestions

Bunch of uppity pin heads.

The star is very clean and it’s in a great location however, I’ve never met anyone friendly on staff. The hot bar is simply not good food, and the prices are too high. It’s such a shame because it’s right down the street from where I live. :(

Locals love it

The staff at Gelson’s is always friendly and helpful.

I got ID checked for being too brown while buying groceries for my family, they claim all purchases over a certain price requires it. So I went in again and purchased over that amount and they didn't check my ID. If you're not white they will treat you like a criminal. The checkout ladies need some training or work at as club as bouncer. I truly hope that old racist cash register lady enjoys her retirement working. Never in my life have I been ID checked while buying regular groceries that don't consist of alcohol or anything weird. Just go to VONS the staff are way better, prices are better and the stuff is literally the same. Shopping here is just throwing away money for no reason. If you're dumb enough to shop at this place you deserve to pay extra.

Friendly, helpful staff throughout the store.

I bought 2 poki bowls made up. The rice is not good. Need to check why the rice taste hard and dry.
