We stopped at this deli which is unassuming on the inside and outside. The food was upscale and catered to the people in the local area. Breakfast/lunch/dinner and they had a refridge full of all sorts of soft drinks, fruit juices and waters. The salads were great when got them home and the salmon was also nicely prepared. A little...

Terrific place to take some food out for any meal, their prepared food counter is profoundly good. Very few tables, so expect you might chat with your neighbors. Very informal, but our favorite breakfast spot in SM.

The food and the coffee were great! However, we really disliked having to hover over the few tables there and basically fight over them with others more aggressive than us. They might want to think about at least having a queue of some sort for table seating.

We enjoyed the food. The service was just average. We do not like sharing communal tables with a lot of strangers, so this was a turnoff. Don't think we will go back.

We ate here the first night we arrived in California. We were starved! We had a delicious meal (HUGE portions), and our server was so sweet! We liked it so much we went back again and it didn't disappoint! I loved their sweet potato fries! and the BLTA was really GOOD! I wish we'd had time to try their breakfasts,... More

This is a little deli, cafe, bakery right on Montana Ave a few blocks from the beach. I always go there for food to go. They have everything from poached salmon to sandwiches and everything in between. They have deserts and lots and lots of different kinds of salads. I had a beet salad and a Thai noodle salad on...
