After a couple of minutes we were ushered in by the security dude at the door.
I guess embarrassing her made the manager feel big. I just thought it was a bit pricy for the items but quality food though. My wife and I started to wonder how long the wait might be as we were on a tight schedule ( our neighbor told us he tried to shop at Costco Wholesale in Carlsbad a few days ago and there was huge line of people waiting to get inside.....an hour wait he was told so he went elsewhere ). Hard to beat !GREAT SELECTION ! We bought 4 each. It's hard to describe the unique take this market has on food. However it does come at a bit of a premium so shopping here should be limited to the hard to find or the items worth the premiums. Their famous, or is infamous at this point, Cardiff Crack Tri-Tip is amazing. John the manager keeps things running smoothly.One of our favorite places to shop with probably the best deli in San Diego.Hard to beat!We come here pretty often now.....this is a very good supermarket.The gelato/ice cream choice is beyond outstanding.We bought some Napali Coast organic Macadamia Nut ice cream...can't wait to try it tonight.The cake counter has stuff to die for....my wife has bought something here each time we've been.The deli section is as good as we've seen....delicious crab cakes and some shrimp were on our menu.We don't live that far away at Solana Beach.And we've just tried the Cardiff Crack..... a Tri-tip sandwich which tasted like we had died and gone to heaven.We can't stay away.My friends from the area highly suggested I come here for their Cardiff Crack Sandwich in the Deli section.Had a catering order from Cardiff Seaside Market to my work place and it was good.
My wife was very happy...and so was I because I will be eating a few after she cooks them. Seaside Crack Tri-Tip is AMAZING!! Pathetic.Cute market right across from the beach. Came here to try the Cardiff Crack that everyone talks about.
"I'm upset with all of you. Currently open during the pandemic; the line may be lengthy, but only to make your shopping experience better and safer; staff offer hand sanitizer and gloves if you plan on shopping in produce; follow directional arrows in the store. Crazy good and insanely addicting. We loved it ! We now require all customers to wear a face mask or other covering that protects both the nose and mouth while shopping in store.We will open our doors from 7 – 8 a.m. exclusively to disabled persons and those ages 65 and older to shop in a less crowded environment.Thank you for understanding our decision. Thanks for the rave review & the awesome photos, Ron!I never came up to North County til I bought myself my motorcycle. HELLO...this is not a time for window shopping but get in and get out super quick. Expensive but worth every penny. The deli is the best we've seen anywhere...the steak & seafood section would leave most mere mortals gobsmacked, the Charcuterie is a wine buff's dream and the wine section is unbelievable. Local restaurants use it in their recipes without hesitation. The carpark was half empty and there was a winding line of people ( some wearing protective masks ) waiting their turn to be ushered inside the store by a security guard at the front entrance. I checked with the dude at the door and he said about 10 minutes which proved to be about right. Cardiff Crack is a crowd favorite, but I really enjoy the veggie bowl with teriyaki salmon.If you were to take a gourmet grocery store and step it up a notch, you would have Seaside Market. You will love it !FABULOUS!
We couldn't get out of there quick enough !VERY BUSY ! A staff member named Philip said they had heaps of individual rolls and no limit per customer. It is filled with such delicious pre-marinated meats, including the famous burgundy tri-tip, aka Cardiff Crack.
We are: We could see the store was well stocked with more than everything we might need.
marinated and infused with a one-of-a-kind Burgundy Pepper marinade, Today was way different ! A talented young dude was playing some great acoustic and singing some cool songs like The Door's Spanish Caravan..excellent flamenco guitar intro. The rain was just starting to pelt down when we jumped in the car to head home. Pelly's is LEGIT and none of you mentioned it. There's also cheese plates and options around…Yes, everyday, certain holidays they will close around 3 or 4pmFind more Beer, Wine & Spirits near Cardiff Seaside MarketFind more Health Markets near Cardiff Seaside Market You give them your taste preference and they can always recommend an ideal bottle.
My wife found some fresh made Strawberry Jam and some Snickers Cake Slices while I grabbed a 2 quart container of Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice. "Seaside Market has instituted a number of policies to protect our customers and our employees from COVID-19.
Which means, more places for recommendations.A cherished local market with one of the best prepared food sections I've seen. Gourmet foods, fine wines, beers and spirits. This gave me one of those special moments.
