★★★★★ 5.0 Christopher Walton · Jan 2026

You ever have a place just call to you? It was almost 10 years ago I was with family and I was just standing outside drawn to this store. The nicest person came out and started talking to me. Little did I know this was the owner and I told him I was unusually drawn to this place. He made his recommendation and that was history. Any time I am on the west coast and I have the time to get here, I make it my soul mission to get a sandwich, and those awesome world famous oatmeal cookies. If you're a local, stop here and support your local business. If you're from out of town, come on by because you will feel welcome and the amazing staff will not lead you in the wrong direction when it comes to an amazing sandwich for you.... and don't forget the cookies!

Delicious deli sandwiches! We got our sandwiches, chips, and cookies to go. Tuna, turkey avocado, pb&j were all really tasty and fresh. Not too long of a wait to order, or to get our order. They had lots of candy for sale, too.

We ordered ahead so we could pick up and go to the beach. The staff is incredibly friendly, and you have to get the special green sauce when you go if you enjoy some spice. We had the egg salad sandwich and the evergreen on Italian rolls. They were so delicious and filling. We will absolutely be back!! Highly recommend.

I had an issue with delivery with grubhub and had to reorder my food after not receiving a refund from the app. The owners noticed this called me, and when my food finally came they threw in 2 free cookies even though the issue was on grubhub and not them! They have the best sourdough and havarti cheese my girlfriend and I love the area. Whenever we do sit down in the area staff will come talk to us and ask about our day. Amazing food, amazing service, and great location!!

horrible service and food. don’t order the breakfast sandwich unless you like an insane amount of pepper on it. Made the whole sandwich un edible. Waste of $8
