Gelson's Encino

Go for the deli and quality groceries. Yes the groceries are pretty pricey compared to some other other supermarket offerings, but they’re selection of higher-quality brand certainly justifies some of the higher price points. I as well as many other Shore I’m feeling the hurt of inflation and rising grocery places. There are definitely some lunch staples that you can get at Gelson’s for under $10 and get yourself a really quality lunch.

yes not this time but other times there is a short Hispanic fellow who is the manager on duty is not very friendly or nice. My wife does not like him either.
If you ask him anything he acts like it is a big interruption in his day.

I appreciate GELSON'S supermarket for its excellent selections of conventional, gluten free and vegan foods. Service is first rate. Parking is free and easy, even ADA compatible.

Recently, they refreshed her quite a bit. The bakery got larger, the flower shop more convenient, the fresh meat and poultry section grew, and the condiments have moved alongside the fruits and vegetables. There is now a greatly expanded cheese selection, and a surprisingly complete wine and hard liquor department.¹

Gelson's has staff butchers and fishmongers, to cut and prepare to your recipe's requirements.

Gelson's is still the same wonderful market with good people working inside. Ask about an item and the employee walks you to it. Want something special? They'll try to order it for you. The store manager stands at a desk directly in front of the check out lines. Because Gelson's is a medium sized chain, lots of new products are tested here. If they are well received, you will soon find them in other markets.²

The Deli offers a selection of restaurant quality, prepared foods. Roast beef, prime rib, and turkey, with gravy and trimmings, are hand sliced to order. "Wolfgang Puck" prepares custom pizza, salads, and sandwiches. Just a few steps away, sushi and other Japanese delicacies are made to order.

The soup, olive, and salad bars are large and well maintained.

The expansive fruit and vegetable department is continuously and artfully maintained.

At the front of the store, Viktor Benes Bakery, a concession, is creative and delicious. Custom cakes and breads are prepared to order. A selection of gelato is offered. They brew excellent coffee drinks.

Next to the bakery, fresh cut and potted plants are displayed. Floral arrangements are displayed and can be customized to order.

On the protected patio, tables, chairs, and a glowing fireplace, provide a comfortable place to enjoy a quick bite, or a break while shopping.

Film and television personalities are often seen, particularly in the late evening after production wraps.

Gelson's Market is a bit expensive, but the quality of the food and the excellent service makes a difference.

STUFF: Order using the internet for in-store pickup or delivery. Easy free parking. An employee will deliver your groceries to your car. Wheelchair accessible parking, and gender-neutral bathrooms. An electric shopping cart is available.

Seeing my favorite butcher, Bertha. Who happily showed my daughter the lobster and took the time engaging with her. Gelson’s is the market you remember as a kid. Where the staff knows you and it they provide customer service like no place else!

I especially love when Yolanda is my checker. Although all of your employees are very nice to me, Yolanda treats me like a friend, always goes the extra mile & remembers conversations we have had.

The store is my happy place. I love that when you walk into the Encino location the flowers are there to greet you. The store is always so neat and clean and inviting.

Great Market with a fantastic variety of quality products and prepared foods. It's a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Compared to Gelsons Tarzana - you have a phenomenal selection of vegetables and produce and your offerings in the salad area are also superior. I hope you will make an effort to improve the Tarzana store stock. Until then - I am back to Encino.

The manager directed me to what I was looking for and I found it there! When I came back to the front and got in line, again the manager on duty helped me by taking me to the next registrar and checked me out!

The delicious cherries. Smiling faces; the excellent service in the Bakery and Service Deli.

Staff is always friendly and store is clean, no long lines, and quality items.

Cashier helped me with a flower arrangement on Friday. She put together the most beautiful pink rose bouquet with eucalyptus leaves… so beautiful and it was her recommendation. I told her about the beautiful vase I had chosen… and thanked her again for her help. I love your staff!

All of the workers know their stuff and they are pleasant and friendly while being helpful.
