“Saw this place as Hot and New on Yelp and was intrigued. Stepped into the store which had an unbelievable amount of alcohol. Decided on the California panini sandwich. I must say my friend was driving and I took one bite of my sandwich. The next thing I knew it was gone! I ate the entire thing. I need to go back and try some more sandwiches and salads.”

“I drive by here every day but I never stopped in. I ordered the Cali Club and the meatball sandwich. WOW WOW WOW. Best sandwiches ever. The Italian bread was fresh and amazing. When I walked in I was greet it right away. The place is clean and very organized. The staff is very welcoming and very helpful. It’s not only a deli it’s a full on liquor store and a market. They have a great selection of spirits and craft beer, not to mention great cigar selection. One stop shop for me. See you guys soon.”

“Highly recommend!! Wife and I went by today for the first time. Not sure why it took us so long to eat here because it is a really GREAT spot! The sandwich we got (Cubano panini) was so delicious! And the selection in-store was amazing – all the beers and specialty drinks you could imagine. It’s very clean and comfortable inside. Best of all, the customer service was top notch by all three team members working. We sat outside on the little patio which was a nice place to eat. They came out and checked on us half way through (thanks Josh!) to make sure we were doing alright. 100% this is our new fave sandwich spot in Poway.”
