Description: Located in the Cardiff Town Centre, this locally-owned market is one of the few of its breed left. Its produce section has an abundance of organically-grown products to please local preferences, but it also carries non-organic. There's an old-fashioned butcher's counter, as well as an up-to-date cuisine section that includes entrees, side-dishes, salads & desserts that you can take out. There is also a sushi counter that caters to modern Southern Californian tastes; the sushi chefs will prepare the tuna rolls, inari, or California rolls you want right before your eyes.
Midwest beef is featured in their meat department, which is also stocked with kabobs, sausages, and seafood, along with already-marinated chicken breasts for your beach feasts. They have a floral section that draws from the surviving nurseries in the area that was once famed as the pointsettia capital of the world. Their bakery, similarly, draws from local, specialty bakers and offerings a range of specialties from cakes and pies to tarts and mousse. Open from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily, the Seaside Market claims its prices are as good as the chains, and they are, if you add a little more for quality now and then. Their telephone number is 753-5445, and they have a website.
