This is what a $15 meatball sub looks like. 90% bread. Tiny meatballs the size of quarters. Really disappointing. read more

My fault, I should not have picked this place as a quick breakfast spot before a drive down to SD. Should have chosen a Mexican breakfast burrito spot. This definitely wasn't what I was looking for. It wasn't bad but it wasn't worth the detour. I can see why this would be a popular spot for a work lunch. They felt pretty healthy. -Bagel Sandwich with Sausage: Plain bagel with microwaved egg and frozen sausage patty and an American cheese slice. I don't know why I thought this would be better than it was. -Bacon Breakfast Burrito: Tasted super healthy, small sprinkle of cheese, and contains diced bell peppers and tomatoes. Actually, I don't think I tasted any bacon in mine... Lady taking my order was nice but one of the workers almost took me out in the parking lot. I'm guessing she was late for work, she really didn't care that I was already exiting the car when she tried to park in the space next to me... read more

New to the building and found that we have this little convenient cafe downstairs. I ordered the Monday special a turkey avocado wrap with chips and a drink. It wasn't a giant jumbo portion but it was reasonable like portions a person should be eating so I was cool with it. The wrap tasted super fresh and lettuce was crisp and everything was just good and refreshing tasting. The others I was having lunch with ordered an Italian sandwich and a ham and turkey and everyone was happy with what they ordered. It was a good simple lunch no tricks no giant food or super tasty fatty gimmicks it was fresh, quick and good. read more

Their Turkey apple sandwich is delicious, and has a friendly ambiance to the place. The service is also excellent.

I really like the sandwiches at Cafe O deli. My favorite is turkey pesto sandwich and my daughter's favorite is pesto chicken panini. You guys should try both!! My daughter usually don't eat ant sandwich but only eat the panini at O deli. Thank you Cafe O Deli!! read more

The Hot Honey & Ham is a seasonal menu item, and it has peach in it, which makes it so good! The staff is friendly, and it's such a perfect spot for a light but satisfying lunch. read more

Such a cute little café right next to my work, which was perfect for a quick lunch break. I ordered the avocado toast and loved the twist they put on it: cream cheese, everything bagel seasoning, hot honey, and a sprinkle of crushed pepper that gave it a little kick. The portion was just decent and at $7.99, it's a great value for the quality. Super convenient location for me since I work in the building next door. It's part of my regular lunch rotation. I've had their bagel with cream cheese as well as the breakfast burrito which were decent. read more

I ran into this little gem while in the building for a meeting. This unassuming deli sells healthy, freshly prepared sandwiches made with quality meats, cheese and fresh vegetables. The shop is true to the fundamentals. The friendly staff is a plus. read more

I visit pretty often, and the food has been consistently great since day one. My personal favorite is the TAB, and I usually add cheese for a little extra flavor. The ingredients are always fresh, and the taste never disappoints. Highly recommend! read more

The sandwiches are fresh and light, never too salty or heavy. The BLTA is my go-to, and the pricing feels fair for the quality. The staff is very friendly, and the classical music in the background adds to the pleasant atmosphere. read more

Been here a few times, located on the ground floor of an office building near my work. Super friendly staff, good quality food. Overall a solid sandwuch place for lunch on any given workday. While everythjmg I've had had been goid, the BLTA (Bacon Lettuce Tomato and Avocado) is the standout on the menu. read more

Great deli/ lunch spot. They have a wide range of deli items (sandwiches [hot/cold], salads, soups, chips, drinks). Sandwiches are pretty good and they have daily deals, so look out for them. I like having the option to order online and pick up within 15 minutes. read more

Solid lunch spot if you work in the business area. The sandwiches are good and freshly made. The soup is just okay, a little watery. Overall the value and taste is good for a quick lunch meal read more

Great deli spot ordered two sandwiches and they were actually good and the lady working the front was super nice

I decided to go to Cafe O' Deli for a warm bowl of chili on a rainy cold Monday. The fall in Cali is not usually cold but due to the rain, I chose something warm. They had a few different soup choices but I chose chili because it's hearty and full of protein. I ordered the half sandwich and soup combo thinking it will be enough for a light lunch. To my surprise, the bowl of chili was amazing! The owner told me that their soup is made fresh daily and not from a can. Wow I can really taste the difference. The chili was full of beans, and ground beef. It was topped with cheese, crackers, and my favorite, Tabasco sauce and boy, it was the perfect combination of tangy spicy and heartiness. I also ordered the hot pastrami sandwich on a baguette bread. Usually baguette breads are hard and too brittle but not the bread here. They did a great job in keeping the bread with perfect softness. I especially enjoyed extra pickles with the right amount of mustard. While the seating area was not crowded because the time was late afternoon, I highly recommend this place. It's cozy, friendly, and the food was perfect! Bon a-petite~ read more

Cafe O Deli - A hot, delicious, fresh bowl of chili was perfect for a rainy day. Will definitely go back for more! - Delis Near Me - Irvine, California

Oh yeah! the O'riginal Club sandwich was a winner. The presentation (albeit in a plastic to go box) was pleasant. I ordered the wheat bread toasted and it came out just right. The sandwich was filling. I ate half and I saved the rest for later. Easy access? Check! Right off the 5 and the 133 Simpsons Dart Board? Check! Plenty of parking? Check! Nice place for lunch. read more

Mediocre sandwich shop, pretty much what you could make on your own at home with 2 mins of effort. Bread from a sterile loaf, meat and cheese from pre-sliced packs, store bought macaroni salad. I would assume the only clientele coming here are those from the business park that are too lazy or forgot to pack a lunch. Our office has picked up food from here a few times and it never fails to disappoint. read more

Excellent place to grab a healthy meal. Their Avocado Toast stole my heart. Great atmosphere and indoor and outdoor dining. read more

Cafe O Deli - Avocado Toast~ Looks awesome! - Delis Near Me - Irvine, California

Upscale cafeteria food. Fair, quick and satisfying. Exactly what I expected. First time here. Not surprised but not let down either. Asian family run (not talkative but not rude. their English is good). Pretty quick service. Soup was pricey for what it was but healthy and fresh (veggie). Sando (italian sub) was ok. Fresh bread. Easy in and out. Would I come here again? Absolutely. Would I crave it from a distance, maybe not. read more

This is my favorite sandwich spot! It is very clean and well maintained. Sandwich is always made with fresh ingredients. Plus, staffs are very friendly. This is a hidden gem if you work around office park nearby Spectrum where you need a little break from crowd. Parking is very easy as well. I highly recommend this cafe. read more

Oh yeah! I found my new lunch spot at work. My new job is hectic and I don't often get a chance to leave and go enjoy my lunch so when it came time to pick a place to eat one day, I was happy to discover that I could walk here and get my lunch. This cafe is only open for breakfast and lunch. They open early and stay open until about 3:30, so there's plenty of time to get breakfast or lunch. I only go for lunch but occasionally I feel like breakfast too. Prices are a bit steep but customer is amazing. Even with a line, they move quick. You can pay with your credit card because they a Square setup. I usually get the deal of the day or a sandwich/soup combo. You can't really go wrong with any choice - I've liked them all. Lunch comes with a pickle and this is my new go to spot. read more

Cute little hole in the wall in the middle of a business park. The store is run by Korean ahjummas, which means "aunty" but refers to middle-aged women. What this means to me is basically everything that you order here comes with that special home made touch. They specialize in sandwiches and soups but have a variety of other things. If you don't know what to order, you can always go with the daily special which is what I tend to do. They deliver too I think but I'm not sure what the requirements for that are. read more

After my pleasant experience couple weeks ago, i returned here to try another sandwich with couple of my friends. I noticed that the shop had gone through some makeover, not a dramatic one but just enough to give a nice vibe. I must say the roast beef sandwich i had today was an excellent choice. My sandwich had generous portions of meat and vegetable with a special spread, making it very flavorful. I had a bite of friend's tuna sandwich which had just the right amount of sauce, not too tangy and not too soggy, just right! They also had daily specials which caught my eyes which i'm very eager to try next time. read more

If you read the reviews you might think this place is bi-polar. The food is okay, and I do like the breakfast sandwich. But pretty bland overall. It does seem pricy but not over-priced. Place is usually busy but really no competition nearby. I had a great Korean deli near my last job but this not it. No warm and fuzzies from staff. That is fine but it does affect clientele. It is convenient, edible to good, and fairly quick. I do not bother with sandwich stamps and the should stop the program because that seems to be a major source of frustration read more

I work across from here, so naturally I was bound to cross paths with this place in one way or another. There really isn't anything that stands out here; it's simply cafeteria-style food that's decent enough, but a little overpriced. I'd rather drive down a street or two further for better quality food at a lower price, however, this place is good for convenience, especially if you're pressed for time! read more

3 Stars A-OK for a business park deli. Free delivery if you call. Daily specials. The Mexican pasta is my personal favorite but any of the sandwiches are good. Could use a little bit more meat for the price. If you are in a lunch rush and have no time to leave your desk this is the spot for you. read more

I work in the business park and order lunches there often. Their salads are really fresh and delicious. I usually order in advance and it is always ready by the time it takes me to walk across the street to pick up. The employees are friendly and nice. read more

Food is sustaining. Nothing stands out. The male owner is the sandwich nazi...like the soup nazi from Seinfeld. He doesn't smile. He's very curt. But what annoys me most is the stinginess. I work next door. Sometimes I take my team there for a quick bite. They have a frequent customer card. You get a stamp for every sandwich purchased (according to the card). On 2 occasions I have purchased multiple sandwiches and only received 1 stamp. When I asked him about it the second time he pushed back at first. Then when I challenged him more he said that he did give me multiple stamps. It was total BS. Another colleague had the same issue with him. So congrats - I'd rather get in my car and drive to another place like Sandwich Plus, than support this shop. read more

So glad to have this great little place right across my work. The service is really quick. Has a mom and pop feel. I often get the soup and salad combo. The chicken salad sandwich with squaw bread is awesome! read more

Great Breakfast spot for cheap. I would get the bacon, egg and cheese croissant and add avacado and tomato for only $5. Very nice family run place that I have never seen crowded for breakfast. (Never been for lunch, mostly sandwiches). They would get 5 stars if their eggs wern't precooked then microwave heated up. read more

I work in the area, so I go here from time to time. There's not that many places around (besides the Spectrum, and that can be such a headache sometimes). Just alright - they have the standard stuff. I feel like their customer service could be a little better .... i.e. more friendly/nicer/welcoming. Whenever I go in there I feel awkward... Convenient for walking, however. And they do deliver (however the turnaround time could be shady, so check on how long it would be). I'm also rating down because they tend to microwave a lot of their stuff. I can just bring food into the office and microwave it myself. I don't like how the eggs and bacon/sausage aren't fresh, etc. So, I'd probably stick to the fresher, colder things like salads and sandwiches. read more

I must say, whenever you are in town or near by, this is the place. I'm fortunate enough to work near by and this place never fails! The meat, breads, chili, you name is always fresh and of best quality. Family owned business, the service is top notch! Enjoy! read more

I inhaled this pasta!!! Love this place. Family owned and I love this place. It was so good it made me learn Spanish. No puedo creerlo! Esta pasta esta muy increible. read more

Walked over after being stuck in meetings since this morning. Good chicken salad sandwich. Accidentally ordered wrong bread so came back to order an additional slice of squaw bread - which I was then charged $2 for. I didn't even end up using it since i would have needed to slice it and add mayo to it... when I just really wanted to eat. Also hurt to pay $3 for an 8.4 oz Red Bull but hey... they know we're addicts and we. Will. Pay. Perhaps if I wasn't HANGRY, I'd bump it up to 3 stars... perhaps. read more

Pros: -Great quality breads, meats, cheeses, and veggies. -Convenient walking distance from many offices near by for lunch. -Breakfast sandwiches like the O! Muffin are def better than a McMuffin for just about the same price. - They put your sandwich together perfectly. Nothing dripping down the sides or spewing out the back. They are perfect...everytime. -Daily specials!!! -Delicious sandwiches just like grandma makes them with quality ingrediants. -O!Card, buy 9 sandwiches get the 10th free. -They deliver! Cons: -Slightly overpriced. I dont like paying 10 bucks for sandwich small drink and a bag of chips, but that't typical of a Togos type establishment so can't complain too much. read more

Cafe O Deli is convenient and that's about it. Prices are a little high, food is just so-so, and selection is limited. I only eat here when I forget my lunch and I don't have time to drive somewhere better on my lunch break. read more
