I have traveled to over 50 countries, and I can confidently say that this is the best grocery store in the world. Where do even begin, first the selection of the food in the deli is absolutely incredible. Everything is so fresh, and walnut cheap, it is priced adequately for California. First, we ordered the tri-tip crack, brisket burrito, and it was easily the best brisket burrito I’ve ever had in my entire life. All the ingredients were fresh, delicious, but the tri-tip steak was a work of art. I don’t think I have ever had such tender, melts in your mouth, buttery, beef, ever in a burrito. If I lived here, I would order the burrito, every single week. After that, we still were hungry, so we decided to try the grilled tuna sandwich from the outside barbecue truck, and wow, for a pretty fair price, we had an absolutely delicious, tender, and flavorful piece of tuna, on top of arugula, and a very fluffy and big brioche bun, with some fresh cut tomatoes. This thing was a work of our art, and was an absolute delight to eat.after that, we wanted around the store and bought some cool snacks and bake items, because it selection is truly out of control. I love this place so much and can’t wait to come back, and just because it’s a grocery store, you should definitely pay a visit

Great market for prepared meals, seafood selection, raw meats, a decent variety of sausages and of course the local Cardiff crack tri-tip, which is very popular they had it available raw or pre-cooked. There was a lot of baked goods and other prepared meals and sides not a massive parking lot although it is typically pretty full there is some parking on the street side, so be patient when you roll in because I think you’ll be waiting to be able to get into a spot, especially during theholiday times or vacation months

I haven’t been here in 15 years so I thought I’d stop in and see if it was still as good as it was back in the day. It was absolutely amazing. Great food with great people.

Maybe one of the nicest grocery stores I've been in. The selection was great, the produce was super fresh, and the market food was so good. We obviously tried the Cardiff Crack and we're not disappointed. For anyone that's had trip tip before, this was maybe the most tender and juicy cuts I've had. Not over seasoned and still so tasty. Would it be weird to consider moving to a city for it's grocery stores?

I love gourmet anything, so CSM was right up my alley. If cooking is art (and I think it is) this is your artist supply. Inspiration can be found in every isle. Make note of local items from coffe to honey to cheese. Give yourself a break from the hustle and bustle with their prepared food which was delicious. Also, don't be afraid to ask the staff for help. They are genuine and friendly.

I was picking up a catering order (for another friend) for a baby shower. The Tri-Tip sandwiches were incredible—so good. Saturday morning, around 10:30, the parking lot (small & tight) was full, as was the store. The service was quick & they were helpful when I asked some questions. I'm not local, but quickly understood why the food & store were so busy & popular. What a fantastic gem.

Lots of variety of delicious food at the Cardiff Seaside Market. Nice seafood, meat, and produce. Great selection of food to go, like sushi, sandwiches and more. Friendly and helpful staff. Recommend!
