What a gem of a find for us. We were going to Descanso Gardens and wanted to grab lunch first. We found this place on Yelp and happy we did. I had one of the best tuna sandwiches I've ever had and my friend had the Reuben. He's a connoisseur of Reuben sandwiches and he said it was one of the best he's had. The service was friendly and they were busy so people know!! We will definitely be back! read more

Berge's - Tuna on very soft bread with lettuce and tomato and pickle. - Delis Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

This is one of situations where I "found" this place again after many years. Used to come her back in the 80s when I worked in this area. Almost weekly. Great big menu, lots of great sandwiches, soup, chili and even dessert. Meatless sandwich options too. Ordered the Tomato Bisque Soup, an amazing Turkey Avocado on focaccia and a Pastrami Sandwich, on rye made the traditional way. No pickles. Great little shop, family owned. When he described his father I knew that was the man I used to order from back in the day. Walls show plaques and pictures showing their contributions to the community such as sponsoring many baseball teams and a proud sponsor of dozens of Rose Bowl Parade floats. A grade, clean, plenty of seating but for the most part I think people get it to go. Still can't believe it's been here for this long and I was here 40 yrs ago. . Yelp hours are incorrect, better call and see. Also closed Sunday and Monday now. Prices were very cheap, however the owner stated the menu is changing soon. Seems like this is the last place to raise their prices like everyone else's. Def worth a visit. When back the next day and got a Tuna Melt which was also good. Best around. Nostalgia helps read more

After an afternoon stroll at Descanso gardens, my wife and I came across Berge's threshold. It is a delightfully immersive experience to a genuine sandwich shop. It was fantastic throwback when ordering a Reuben Sandwich was without regret or avocado. The bread was crispy and thick enough to not fall apart in to a soggy mess. The high quality ingredients including the corned beef because pastrami isn't in a Reuben, that is another sandwich, was heartwarming. We also took an Italian hero to go which was equally impressive. I would go back to Descanso gardens in the spring and endure an allergic event so I could go back for another sandwich. Bravo! read more

Whatever you do, order the Tomato Bisque Soup with bread for dip. I dipped my tuna melt into the soup, and it was delicious!

Enjoyed the old school vibes of this sandwich shop. I like how simple it is. I ordered the famed turkey avocado sandwich. I totally forgot to get the tomato soup I've seen mentioned so many times in the reviews. The sandwich was solid. Generous amount of turkey and avocado and it was so tasty. Would recommend! read more

Really good hole in the wall spot the turkey avocado sandwich was delicious !!!! Old buisness , fast customer service read more

Berge's - Turkey Avocado - Delis Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

We've driven passed Berges several times and I had a hunch that it would be good. It has that old established neighborhood deli feel. I'm so glad we decided to come in and give it a try. We ordered a turkey and avocado sandwich and a hot pastrami sandwich. The turkey was stacked high with a generous amount of avocado. And the pastrami was high quality, served on toasted rye and was absolutely delicious!! We will be visiting again soon!! It seems their prices are reasonable compared to other places. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite on a road trip and rushed to write this review. Julio at the counter was so kind and accommodating! We got the turkey club and pastrami sandwich - both were AMAZING and the service was awesome. Definitely coming back next time we're in the area! read more

I called in my order and it was ready when I arrived. The tomato bisque soup was delish, and the customer service was lovely.

Great little sandwich place with friendly people and tasty food. The tomato soup is a popular item and unique in flavors.

Good sandwiches and soup! The pastrami is lean so I don't feel too guilty. I will definitely come back read more

Been going here since the early 90 s with the same guy remembering what I eat and making my sandwich, then he moved to the register and trained the next guy to do it. I love this place. You will too. read more

If you like abuse, then this is your spot! The manager was condescending and over the top rude. I was trying to order a sandwich for my husband over the phone, who was having surgery and needed the person who was picking him up to grab something for my husband to eat in the car on the way home (1.5 hours away). This was the most challenging experience for what should have been easy. I felt berated and worn after placing the order and when I asked to pay, he told me they don't take payment over the phone. I begged and pleaded to no avail. So, the driver paid for it and I venmoed him. I will NEVER EVER be going back here. Sorry, not sorry. read more

Amazing sandwich shop! I enjoy going here by myself or with friends and getting the BLT or Club sandwich. They have great hospitality and even better prices. Highly recommend everyone stopping by when visiting La Cañada! read more

Grabbed some sandwiches to go before heading to Descanso Garden. The sandwiches were fresh and delicious. Pickle was addicting. Tomato bisque was tart and sweet. My favorite was the Italian sub with everything. Really enjoyed the sauce and meat! read more

Best tuna salad sandwich on sour dough . People are great! Parking is accessible My go to place!

I hiked Mount Wilson a couple weeks ago and decided to stop by this bookmarked spot for late lunch/early dinner. My date and I were in the mood for pastrami sandwiches. We walked into this cozy, wood paneled sandwich shop and were greeted by the owner and one of his employees. We talked to the owner for a while about the quality of the food and the processes to make different sandwiches/plates, and eventually my date was talked into trying the tuna melt sandwich instead. After more conversation about the history of the place and their past location, the owner asked if I wanted a pickle or pepperoncinis, and when I said pickle he said "well you're getting both." I'm glad he let me have both, because I would have missed out! The peppers were spicier here than I've had elsewhere, so maybe they pickle their own veggies? Anyway, the pastrami sandwich was absolutely delicious. You MUST try it the way it comes...with the mustard and rye bread. You don't *have* to, but I recommend you do. My date ended up trying some of mine and wishing he ordered that instead, but he said the tuna melt was very good...for a tuna melt lol. I don't like them so I didn't try it. Because of the price, food quality, and customer service, I definitely recommend this place if you're nearby and are craving a thicc roast beef or pastrami sandwich (and likely some nice conversation). read more

Berge's - Hot pastrami - Delis Near Me - La Canada Flintridge, California

I was told that this family-owned sandwich shop has been around for over 50 years!! I had their meatball sandwich, while my bf got their specialty "submarine". We shared their infamous tomato soup that comes with bread for dipping. Let me just tell ya, the tomato soup was out of this world!! I've never had tomato bisque that has chunks of tomatoes and onions. The sandwiches were substantial and made me full until the next day, and was just what we needed after a hot afternoon of hiking! You can tell the establishment prides itself of giving quality food and service, as I observed Mama Berge's ensuring her staff to pay attention to details. Although this is out of the way for me from where I live, but it's nice to know there are small businesses that have been supported by locals for many decades to come. read more

The tuna deli sandwich was amazing best tuna I've ever had. Great people working behind the counter ambiance was cute and sweet. Was great after a hike would come again read more

Great food!! Great service! Would recommend stopping in, if toys re in the area. Also very reasonably priced.

I should probably order something else but I never do. Turkey and avocado just hits the spot. Always say yes when they ask if you want some pickles. Parking is available in the back lot or on the street. read more

Old school sandwich shop, family-owned and operated since 1972. I came here for the staples - The Turkey and Avocado Sandwich and the Tomato Bisque. Both were great (and the Bisque comes with Armenian Bread for dipping). The service was friendly and I was in & out in no time! Berge's - good food and good service. That's all that matters. read more

Came here after going to Descanso Gardens. I got the turkey avocado sandwich, which was pretty good. He also gave me a sample of the tomato soup, and I liked how the tomato soup wasn't salty so I think I'll get it next time! read more

Very friendly staff. I came in here for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon and ordered a tomato garlic bisque and a grilled roast beef sandwich. The roast beef was superb! I don't know what it was, but it was super flavorful without being salty or too moist or too dry. The soup was just okay. I wouldn't consider it to be a bisque, as it had a plethora of veggie chunks on it. It wasn't anything I'd order again. But I'd definitely come back for the sandwiches. read more

Berge's is a local institution. The soup (tomato bisque is my go-to) is outstanding. It's creamy without being heavy, and the creaminess balances out the acidity of the tomato. It feels like comfort food and really hits the spot on rainy days or cold nights. The sandwiches are perfect. My usual gripe with sandwiches is that they're light on protein and you end up with a mouthful of bread. Not here! They are not stingy with meat, so the flavors really mesh as opposed to being overpowered by boring ol' flour. Best of all, it's still a local, family-owned business. It feels good to support them! read more

The food is always delicious! I recently moved to this city and found this place while driving by. The atmosphere is chill and I enjoy the throwback look of the place. The service is always friendly and the lady that has her own table there is very sweet. I'm a tatted up gentlemen and most of the time people her age aren't too fond of my type but she didn't judge and is very friendly. My daughter loved the food as well. definitely going to keep coming back. read more

Best service ever!! Love berges! Most get tomato soup and grilled cheese or classic turkey avocado is so delish!

Had a great avocado and cheese sandwich. The prices are good, the staff were friendly, and they have a few vegetarian options.

Food is fantastic. The tomato bisque soup was to die for! Great tuna melt. Small clean deli with friendly staff.

Yummy tomato bisque! The sandwiches are excellent! This place is an LC staple! The only bad thing is their hours but food wise it's great!

The sandwiches are delish and definitely don't sleep on the tomato soup! Portions are perfect even though prices feel a little high. read more

Um..I haven't done more then just look at the lunch goodies in my box I ordered to go and I'm already ready to write a review. First of all- you know you can never go wrong with a "hole in the wall" spot, if you will. Extremely friendly, everyone in there looked so happy including the workers- I almost grabbed a table instead to experience this more. The food smells and looks incredible, decent portions, and MYYYY golly you can NOT beat the price. I am so glad I had to wait out traffic in this area because this spot needs to be known about. I will 100% be returning whether I'm in the area or not. Got the tomato soup as everyone seemed to rave about it (comes with a piece of incredible bread), mac salad, and the submarine with all the extra fixins. I got chips too and it came with pickles (I'm starved okay haha I almost grabbed a cookie they were big and soft omg I should have). All at 20 bucks. Thank you Berges!!!!!! read more

Great sandwiches! I've come here for years and you can't go wrong with anything. Turkey avocado is great, roast beef with cream cheese and olives is a superior unexpected surprise of flavor.
