Continent Delicatessen

priced an item at $4 but since there were multiple pieces inside we were charged per piece. $20 for a slice of cake is ridiculous

I like this place. Very clean market and very friendly staff!

I love stopping in international stores! The deli is so delicious too. I picked up a lot of hard to find treats. I loved the carrot salad.

Great place to get unique items like polmeni, Russian cheese ice cream, kvas drink, canned fish.

It isn't cheap but I'm grateful for the option to buy European market items in San Diego.

6/26/25 Lots of staples and specialities from Russia, etc. It's fun to go in to try new (to me) foods. One customer claimed they have the best liver and onions around and I was almost tempted to try it. Helpful ladies. There is a charge to use the credit card machine, I use cash. Bring your own bag.

There are two tables and chairs directly outside. There was more seating to the left and right.

Updated: Upon entering, you get a ticket that you can scan for a one hour validation, *so remember to ask!* The parking lot can get full. There is a bathroom with a code in the building next door to the liquor shop.

I've never liked this store just because of the salespeople. It feels like they hate everyone, including their own job. No matter what you ask them, they always respond rudely, and their expressions make you want to run away as soon as possible. Especially the short blonde with glasses and a short haircut.

Some really excellent rye bread which I believe they bake themselves in-house? Seriously going to miss this place when I move out of the area, it's become my go to for the bread. Also, good selection of Armenian products (jams/preserves/spreads)

Continent Deli is hands down one of the best Dubai chocolate it is so fresh so good, and high-quality!

Their menu is packed with international deli options that cater to all tastes. Whether you're in the mood for a classic sandwich, a hearty salad, or something more unique.

Some items that I found were german bologna, polish sausage, caviar and farmers cheese!!

I highly recommend stopping by Continent Deli in La Jolla

😡"Soviet Quality" sign over the salad bar? Seriously? I'm guessing you missed the part where "Soviet quality" meant mass starvation for Ukrainians. That's not quirky, it's offensive.

And labeling Olivye salad "russian"? In this climate? Are you actively trying to be tone-deaf? That's not "cultural appreciation," it's a giant middle finger.

Clean it up, ditch the Soviet nostalgia, and maybe, just maybe, learn some basic respect. This isn't a museum for outdated regimes; it's a grocery store. Act like it!
