Gelson's Long Beach - Long Beach, California

Gelson's is a grocery store much like Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe's or Sprouts. They offer standard market items as well as a variety of unique gourmet items.

They also make and offer a variety of soups, sandwiches, roasted turkey, salmon, pot roast, etc. Some items, such as their poke ($20.99 lb), can get pricey, however their prepared meals for 2 are a great deal and range between $15 to $25.

It's a great place to shop, but be prepared to spend a bit more money, especially if purchasing gourmet items.

What is going on with the Deli?
Service is alway slow to have a sandwich made or deli items and has been getting worse. But today was a new low. At 12:15p there was not one deli person at the counters for over 10 min. Went to speak to the manager and found someone to help but told not her department. Even the bartender was running around, trying to help people. Every single employee just stated they were short staffed and that is how it is now. Such a shame to see my favorite store go downhill. Even the bathroom and towel dispenser, etc. looks pretty sketchy. Seems like there is no general manager or corporate person invested in this property in any longer. I certainly wanted to take my salad up to the mezzanine as recommended by their large poster. But I wasted all of my lunchtime trying to get deli help.

Ordered holiday brisket package. Mostly fat with meat marbled through. Disappointing like most places now. Pay more for less quality and smaller portions. Next time, I'll choose my own meat from Costco and cook myself.

The store was clean and well organized. The produce department was arranged neatly and the v produce department looked fresh. a great variety of hard to find items.

The staff was knowledgeable and helpful. The bakery staff was outstanding.

We ordered a pre-made holiday Boneless Prime Rib. This is the third year we’ve ordered it. The second year I picked it up they forgot to include the separate juice bag needed for preheating. I returned to the store and they apologized and gave it to me. Today (third time) I again picked up the Prime Rib and noticed it again didn’t have the separate juice bag needed for preheating. I asked the guy passing them out and he said this year the juice was included in the actual Prime Rib and was not separate. I asked him if it changed from last year and he said yes. Needless to say, the Prime Rib, which was supposed to be the main dish, was tasteless at our Thanksgiving dinner. One thing is paying $220 for a prime rib that was tasteless, another is having a disappointing dinner for thanksgiving with guests.
