Carmel Valley Liquor

I have been visiting this place for 8 years or so. Excellent selection of beer, wine and spirits, I always stop by for beer that the big grocery stores don't offer. Even more special; they have candy and snacks from the UK, Australia and South Africa. The owners are extremely friendly, we always have a nice chat when I stop by. Essential local store for the community in my opinion! Thanks so much guys, you always brighten my day :)

Without a doubt, one of our favourite people we met in SD was the gentleman that works at this liquor store. He was extremely courteous and knowledgeable about the area, and had a great disposition. So much so, that our next time back, we made it a point to go and see him again!!! This is a perfect pit stop to get anything you may need before heading to your hotel or AirBnb destination.

My wife and I hope that the current situation we’re all in hasn’t been too hard on this establishment, or the staff who work there. Please stay safe and hope to see you guys soon enough!

Great place, as an English woman, it is great to be able to get English cookies and chocolate.... Valerie

I love this place! In north county authentic mom and pop style liquor stores aren't very common. Especially in the Del Mar Heights area. This place is PERFECT when you want those small items but do not want to wait in a long line at the grocery store or deal with horrendous parking situations. They have a great assortment of snacks and candies that you will not find outside of a liquor store as well! They also have a huge wine and beer selection to go along with whatever necessity your significant other sent you to pick up lol. The owners are always super nice as well.

Every neighborhood should have a store modeled after this place. The inventory is amazing, they have a wide selection of wines, beer, sodas etc., the selection of candy and other snacks is fantastic. The owners are very accommodating and we appreciate their operation. Stop in if you are in the area!

Love the owners. They are friendly and always have smiles on their face. Whoever keeps breaking in STOP. These are nice people making a living.

Live this shop, its always been my families local sweet shop as it has sweets from many different countries, such as candy from where I grew up in England. The owner of the store is so nice and a pleasure to get to know and makes the stores authenticity unlike many others.They have typically cheaper prices then stores such as Rite Aid or Vons, but a lesser variety of products, however for a quick chocolate bar, chips, or drink its the perfect corner liquor store.

Best little neighborhood store ever. Retro candy. Great liquor. Ice-cream . A bit of everything. I found a Spanish liquor 43. That i haven't been able to find anywhere! Lovely staff.

The neighborhood liquor store has plenty of choices. The owners are very friendly and helpful

Guy that runs this place is super kind and friendly; most of the time he'll let you keep a tab, ie grab a couple snacks and just pay the next time around.
Check this place out if you're hungry/thirsty!

The store carries a nice selection of British and S. African foods, including candies, sauces, chips, and cookies. If you want to try some interesting foods, it's worth trying out.

Great selection of local and also British, Australian and South African goods: wines, cookies, candy, snacks, and condiments. Owners are friendly and helpful.

Love this place! They have a unique selection of international treats. Customer service is top notch!

Amazing quality and variety of products, friendly and professional. My favorite store in the neighborhood!

It’s awesome the people that work there are so kind and you can find everything great customer service! I highly recommend it!

Great selection of craft beers, well worth the visit just to see all the random candy from around the world.

I do not mind paying more to support local businesses. Friendly, helpful, and great selections/recommendations.

Legit selection! You can tell the owners know their wine and liquor.
