Great owner! Amazing food and service, I lovedddd the pesto sandwich. And it's a really cute area to eat at.

Custom vegan sandwich: Sourdough, (great) hummus, avocado spread (extra $), mustard, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, pepperoncini.

I ordered a custom vegan sandwich & it was delicious. I would love if they offered vegan meat and cheese. I struggled with ordering delivery. The Toast app was showing delivery as unavailable. DoorDash did not allow any notes, even though they did not offer things like hummus or pickles as options for the custom sandwich. They were missing on the website & Toast app as well. I was grateful that when I called they said I could order "for pickup" and they would mark it for delivery. They made sure I received the delivery even though I had to order by phone.

This place was so good!!! It's a small shop tucked into the alleyway behind Lobster West and other stores. There was limited seating so we took our sandwiches to the beach and it was a great picnic :) A couple of other people also came by to pick up pre-ordered sandwiches and take them to-go. He got the pastrami melt with sprouts ($1.50 extra), banana peppers (free) and jalapeños (free). I got the Italian Torpedo with banana peppers. Both were so good, literally 5/5!! In my experience, the sandwiches are on the smaller side compared to other places so I would say the portion is perfect for one person. I'm so glad I discovered this place and I would definitely go here again!

The Monster

Food: 8/10 Service: 8/10 Ambiance: 8/10 Definitely recommend this spot for a quick sandwich/ wrap fix! I had the Monster and tried the Tuna wrap as well. The wrap did it for me! It's in between other establishments but if you hear the French music playing, you're in the right place. Seating can be limited, so heads up. Give it a try!

Deli-iCloud is a great spot for lunch and I'm sure frequented by people working in the area. Unless you know it is there you most likely wouldn't see it as it is tucked into an alley of small shops. The sandwich was good and the bread was fresh. I also had a cup of chili which was very good and always available. The service was quick even for a small shop.

Best sandwiches of my life! The service was amazing. Great outside seating. Definitely coming back :)

From Chicago, looking for a sandwich shop in La Jolla, found this one on maps. Located in a cute little cluster of shops, we ordered and sat down outside in the alleyway. In less than 5 minutes our sandwiches came out. I ordered the Italian Italian Torpedo (4/5) which is an upscale Italian sub on ciabatta, with a hearty helping of mustard and very light Italian dressing. The size was large, could barely finish! Overall the ambiance was good, but the outdoor seating had a bad smell, like it was garbage day or something. Overall I would recommend.

Lumberjack
Rafid D.

The location of this restaurant is cool, nice tucked away alleyway, but the food was not "delicious". We got the lumberjack and reuben. The lumberjack was decent, the reuben was terrible, not much taste or flavor... very bland. And the center meat was a little cold, maybe microwaved? The service was really good.

The Cheese Shop in La Jolla isn't a trendy find -- it's a long, delicious love affair. My husband…read moreand I have been slipping through this tiny doorway since our UCSD days in 1989, and somehow it never gets old. We still find ourselves here a few times a month, which is either devotion or fandom... possibly both. And if you know Phil, Dave -- even their dad, John-- then you are among a limited few. Yes, everything on the menu is excellent, but let's be real: the center-cut pork loin on sourdough with honey Dijon is the reason you came. They slow-cook the pork in-house, and you can taste every bit of that care -- tender, savory, just a little sweet, piled onto sourdough that knows exactly what it's doing. It's not just a sandwich; it's a San Diego rite of passage. Do yourself a favor and take it to go, wander down to La Jolla Shores, and eat it while staring at the Pacific like you're in your own personal travel commercial. And don't you dare leave without cookies. The chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies are quietly legendary -- crisp at the edges, chewy in the center, somehow nostalgic and brand-new at the same time. You think you'll just have "one," and then suddenly you're walking back in to buy more. Funny how that happens. If you've lived here awhile, this place feels like home. If you're visiting, this is the sandwich you'll be thinking about on the plane ride home.

Cheese Shop and Sandwiches in La Jolla Shores is super popular with locals and tourists mainly for…read moretheir sandwiches and oatmeal cookies. This shop on Avenida De La Playa, which is the Main Street closed off from cars, so people can walk freely, but parking is a challenge. The cheese shop can't be missed, with the green ivy covered store front. It's standing round only, no seating inside but limited outside seating. You order from the counter and they bring your order to you if you decide to sit outside. I selected the popular sandwich: Turkey, Jack Cheese and Avocado on sourdough bread with every veggie: lettuce, tomato, red onion was all it had. Just baked from the oven were the famous oatmeal cookies in caramel and chocolate, looked so yummy I didn't order any but the guy behind the counter complementary gifted a pair to me, so nice, friendly and cool!! Inside the shop didn't appear clean, I would describe the ambiance as divey. Sat outside and shortly my order was presented nicely wrapped sandwich and warm cookies. Took pics and took a bite and my consensus is that I was not a fan of this sandwich because I really prefer smoked turkey and not plain turkey. The sandwich looked subpar, the layering of ingredients weren't assembled as aesthetically layered as it can be and tasted just ok. My pup usually doesn't like smoked turkey or unfresh meats but she liked this plain roast turkey, which means it's more likely fresh and pass her approval. She also ate the contents of the sandwich sans the bread and onions of course. The oatmeal cookies were a real treat and lived up to the hype, kind of gooey, yummy and good for you...hence oats is fiber! As a cheese aficionado, this shop is not really a cheese shop with no abundant cheese selections. The shop should just be named sandwich shop, since sandwiches and candies seem to be their cash cows. If you're looking for a cheese shop, this isn't the place, but it might the place for a sandwich. Recommend

The corner was putting stuff away but let me in with open arms. They were one of the few places open on Christmas. I walked in and Lisa told me they had 1 Christmas dinner left. 1 meal left at 8:00pm. I was so happy. Got my meal, a drink, and a little dessert. The drawer I got were the TimTam cookies. They remind me of my first deployment when I would make trades for these cookies! I was stoked to see them there due to them not being in the US. Lisa warmed up my Christmas dinner for me due to my hotel not having a microwave. I walked back to my hotel so dang happy that I get to have a real meal and not a beef jerky from the gas station. Lisa didn't seem annoyed and was more than willing to make me feel welcome late at night when they wanted to close. The staff was also away from their family but was so willing to serve me. I got back to my hotel and opened up the food, it was one of the best Christmas dinners I have ever had. I felt like I was home the second I took that first bite. I am so grateful for this corner store. I am here in town for a bit, and I will continue to come to this establishment everyday until I leave.

Staff were friendly and helpful. The grocery options are very limited with no prices on many items which seems to be standard at establishments in this area. So...I opted to abandon my quest for fruit and sparkling water vs take the risk of buying a $10 orange. Yes, I know I could have asked about prices here and elsewhere but didn't want to be the stereotypical midwesterner visiting California and constantly exhibiting sticker shock! Anyway this is a great spot to drop in for a carry out sandwich!

The View? 5 The Service? 4…read moreThe Food? 3 Let's be honest here - I needed a good digital nomad seat to complete some work, make some calls, and get outside. Cliff Hanger Cafe provided all of that. While not necessarily quiet due to the large crowds that gather to say OMG I'd never do something like that, that's crazy, as they watch paragliders soar along the cliffs and those waiting for their tandems. But come early enough, on a weekday, with meh weather? Still better than sitting in an office~! The food was less expensive than I thought it would be - reasonable actually for something that is pulled from a cooler and tossed onto a grill with little effort behind the makeshift kitchen. Orders are a bit hard to hear, but damnit - why did it have to be okay tasting?! I thought for sure it would be the worst - but a solid three out of five. Will I be back? Yep. Order food? Yep.

I was again concerned that we were walking into another a dud and lo and behold the man outdid himself! This was not the experience I expected and I was so pleased with the Cliff Hanger Cafe! Not only was my food great, but the views and watching experience was out of this world. I had never seen or heard of a glider port and am so glad that I got to experience it (way to go hubby). While enjoying a beverage and sandwich, we were able to watch gliders starting/stopping and of course gliding. Amazing to see how it is done and the view from the cliff is poetic. Not to mention you are right next to Torrey Pines (WHAT). La Jolla in the distance, the vast ocean, a meal and watching gliders start and land, yep a very fulfilling morning! Only downside, port-a-potty's! But I would do it again for the experience!
