IV Deli Mart is a convenience store that sells snacks and drinks, in addition to having a kitchen that makes a variety of Mediterranean and American food. They used to be next door, in a much smaller location.

Soon after moving to their current location was the 2014 Isla Vista Tragedy, with two people shot and killed in front of the IV Deli Mart. A service was convened in front of the establishment, with a memorial still standing. Account of Shooting: IV Deli Mart Owner Michael Hassan.

The front of the building has a neat mid-century style patterned tile decoration:
