Tiny, hidden spot that makes good sandwiches. I've tried the pesto chicken panini sandwich and wrap and in they were both pretty darn good. I would recommend. read more

Weird place ... used to be atomic cafe ??? if you call it New York deli please know how to make a chicken salad sandwich . It was strips of chicken on a huge roll with tons of mayo lettuce tomato. I was expecting chicken salad Also price point is delusional ($14.50 w no drink or chips )when you have croutons , jersey mikes and from Philly cheesesteak all within a mile . read more

Friendly Service and the paninis were super delicious! I recommend the Galactic. They're located in a quaint business center, this is a great spot to have lunch! read more

Great hidden gem! They have all sorts of sandwiches and the staff is super friendly. It's a family owned business that deserves your support.They have the Hubble as their vegan option which is quite good. I don't know how they make their bread so perfectly toasted! My coworker says that the El Galáctico is amazing every time he gets it, 5/5. read more

Breakfast burrito with bacon is fire!! Love the mild heat from the pico de gallo. For less than $11 that's unheard of nowadays especially in Costa Mesa. The lady was really nice. It was hot and stuffy inside the cafe (maybe their ac was off?) so I recommend sitting outside. Will be back to try more things! read more

This is such a hidden gem! The food is absolutely amazing quality, just like the people and the service! Best egg rolls I've EVER had in my life, most awesome Vietnamese coffee. I've had their chicken pesto panini (Ion). Absolutely exquisite. Their Pho is pretty good, the salads are good too and I just had their Quantum Sandwich with Roast beef today. So incredible. And you can tell they cook with Love, to serve and to let you enjoy the quality flavors. Genuine care, genuine quality! Love it! read more

What a little gem near the airport and business Center. They make great sandwiches and Panini's. Their sandwiches are glazed and toasted with butter which is a big add. The pastrami sandwich was very good as well as the grilled cheese. I have a picky eater and she loved the grilled cheese sandwich. On Wednesday they do have some specials that include some Vietnamese dishes. Highly recommend. read more

Disgusting behavior from the owner Huan! I came in on Friday to pickup a phone order for my company, the place was a mess, dirty and tables were not cleaned, unlike before. I can hear yelling from outside. Upon entering it was like a zoo with him scrambling around yelling and cursing at his employee. No one was in the front to greet customers. Obviously my order wasn't ready. Kitchen was a mess, he was making the food without gloves and so sloppy I decided to leave. So different from the other two times I was there, Warm friendly greeting with a smile from Sara and although it was also busy she held it down, I didn't see her this time. Unacceptable behavior from Huan! Needless to say I will no longer be supporting this establishment and I hope others won't as well. read more

Small mom and pop shop! The owners/workers are super nice and friendly. The sandwich was made fresh to order and I enjoyed it. Decent amount of food for the price ($12-13)! I would eat here again for lunch. read more

Emelia Deli - The Galactic Panini - Cafes Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

My go to spot when I'm at work in Costa Mesa. The Galactic is my favorite but their other sandwiches are really good too.

Decided to try this place after seeing the reviews and had the galactic panini. I wish this place had more people going here as it a small mom and pop shop. I can't speak for how they melt their cheese as much as I love because I am lactose HOWEVER, that was the most perfectly balanced and flavored panini I have ever had. The turkey was perfect temperature, the sautéed spinach was perfect amount of slight crunch , just enough tomato spread without it being overpowering, and the crunch of the bread was phenomenal. I would hands down go here again and again. read more

Great food, paninis, cookies, and Vietnamese ice coffee! I try to stop by every time I'm in the area. Huan never forgets his customers and cares about your well being. If your looking for home made hot paninis, this is it! They usually close around 3pm, I usually stop by at 2:30pm. read more

The food was delicious! The breakfast bagel was soft, cheesy, and very flavorful. We got a special panini with a Chipotle sauce. I like spicy and can handle heat and this had a good kick to it! So good! The gentleman working the register I assume was the owner was super friendly and had great customer service. The cafe was cute, clean, and had a lot of great options. Can't wait to go back! read more

Adorable little spot hidden amongst businesses and the flight school. Very friendly owner stopped by to chat. Had a pastrami sandwich. It was delicious, a little light on the meat. I didn't get a side because I was expecting a little more filling of a sandwich so next time I'll get a side. read more

Found this cafe down the street from my office and decided to give it a try. One of the items I order to "test" a new location is their breakfast burrito. I was greeted by friendly faces who were quick to assist. They ensured I had napkins and salsa with my order. When I was exiting, one of the workers, possibly the owner, asked for my name before informing me of their daily specials. Super friendly and comfortable setting. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box for my burrito. They panini-press the burrito so the tortilla was slightly crispy, and it ensured the wrap would stay together. The burrito held up to every bite with no mess. All of the ingredients were prepared and cooked well. The pico de gallo was fresh with chopped jalapeño. This definitely passed my breakfast burrito test. Great flavor and texture with no mess. I will definitely be visiting again to try other items and specials. read more

Emelia Deli - Breakfast Burrito with Sausage. - Cafes Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I was born and raised in Anaheim, the heart and soul of OC (in my humble opinion) any type of food I could want I never have to leave Anaheim. Yet I come to Irvine almost every free chance I have to indulge in Atomic Cafe. I leave the house so often to go there by wife begins to thinks I'm cheating. Atomic Cafe is an absolute gem tucked away in the beautiful city of Irvine. Fancy dinners and gourmet meals are just a moment, this is forever. The feeling of walking into a small cafe to be greeted by someone who makes you feel like family. It's a feeling many don't even realize they're missing. Life is too short. Enjoy and indulge in the memories that last a lifetime. Come to Atomic Cafe with a empty stomach and leave with a full heart. read more

Emelia Deli - The Ion Panini. Fire. I tried to take a picture but I ate it too fast. - Cafes Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This place is one of my go to lunch spots. It's a little hard to fine as it is very well hidden and nestled in a business park. The key to finding it is to find the flags flying just outside. One of my favorite things to get for lunch here is the Panini. They have a great selection of breakfast and lunch sandwiches which are all prepared fresh and right before your eyes. One sandwich that I truly recommend you try is the ion Panini. It includes fresh grilled chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and a wonderfully buttered and grilled bread. The location is a little small but cozy nonetheless. Because of the size, I recommend that you try and get your sandwich at the off hours as it can get a little packed at lunch. read more
