The quality of the food was not the problem. It was fine. My dismay was with the staff attitude. We went there for lunch on Tuesday May 16. The indifference of the young woman who took our order was palpable. No eye contact, mumbled vocalisation...and no welcome whatsoever. This was in complete contrast to the liveliness and animation of her conversation with the three young men that were also working there. While we stood near the counter awaiting our take out order, the conversation among the employees continued animatedly despite the food having been prepared and sitting on the server. It was not until one of the young men noticed us waiting that any progress was made. The young woman switched back from her liveliness with the young men to bland indifference or perhaps disdain towards us and the other customer. The most galling aspect of this was that I had tipped 18% at the point of ordering the food… supposedly for good service. That is a trap…. To pay for the staff.More

no vegan choices noted here 🫤… the vegetarian option for a warm breakfast may be the Veggie Burrito - rice beans onions sour cream, cheese cilantro. Ended up with a morning glory muffin (which was great). Other pastries & cakes available. It’s a cold morning…...Indoor seating with fireplace available but not offered on this cold morning. Waited 10 minutes then asked if fireplace could be turned on…he hesitantly agreed. Veggie burger, Mother Nature Veggie cold sandwich, salads and smoothies are the vegetarian options. Not many choices for breakfast in Cambria. This isn’t what I would call a breakfast place. Wouldn’t come for “breakfast” again. May return for smoothie or one of their juices on a warm day…More

The loaded Italian was out of sight. Good parking, clean outside and inside. Split the sub with my wife…..she could not finish hers. Will come back.

This is a little hole in the wall but is always busy. Good sandwiches and salads, with a nice variety to choose from. There are a few tables inside and outside, or you can use take out and eat at the beach down the street.

We've tried 4 or 5 different sandwiches and a couple of soups and everything is really delicious. A new must stop for us on every trip to Cambria.

A quick stop off the highway for lunch brought us to this deli that was pleasant surprise. We ordered the turkey sandwich with cranberry and the turkey bacon cheddar club on croissant. Both were very fresh and very good.

Wanted to take something to the beach, and sandwiches from Sandy's was a perfect choice! We had the Turkey Cranberry and the Big Sur Tuna with avocado on a wheat bun. They were big enough to save some for later!

Sandy's provided our wine tour group with our lunch selections when we visited the coast and the food was delicious. Great job! We pre-ordered and the food ready when we arrived. Sandy's is now our "go to" Deli on our next wine tour. Thank you!

We had the Turkey avocado Ortega sandwiches which were outstanding. Actually even by splitting the sandwich it filled us up! Very reasonable prices, great value - especially in Cambria!

As soon as you walk in you smell the breads, hot soups and smiling employees even when they were busy. We ordered the Italian sub , their tortilla soup (really good even with pinto beans ). They were so accommodating on our requests . They...have indoor and just a few tables for outdoors . It was really a filling sandwich and the small soup it the spot. I would come back again when I'm in the area .More

I ordered a pastrami sandwich. Asked for mustard and pickles. The sandwich was made with mayonnaise and pickles. I took it back to the counter and asked for a different sandwich. The gal at the desk insisted I said mayo and not mustard. I asked...for a new sandwich. I was told "no." Apparently the employee must be satisfied, and not not the customer. This customer of several years will NOT be back. The Cafe on Bridge Street has the very best sandwiches by far. 4286 Bridge Street. 805-927-2890. Take if from a local.More

Small little restaurant right when you come into Cambria from the North. Although the desserts looked fabulous we were there for lunch and both had the soup and sandwich. Excellent sandwiches for a reasonable price. Good find !
