We stopped to pick up a couple of soups. Staff was pretty friendly and they have one neutral gender bathroom in the back. We bought a "pot" container each of the tomato basil and chicken rice soup. The size was 16 oz a container for almost $10 each and came with a slice of baguette and saltine crackers. The tomato soup was very good but salty. The chicken rice soup was "ok" but Hubby wouldn't buy it again.

Good location close to Seacliff Stare Beach in the same shopping center as Safeway. Service was quick and friendly. Sandwich was warm and delicious! Ingredients were fresh and portions were fair. Dining room and restrooms were clean. Will definitely come back when in the area

Thursday evening with my dog, about to go home, feeling hungry, I think I'll order Erik's. Open up the app, select the Cali Clasico (because it gives triple points right now in the app!) and modify it with a couple things. Boom, done. I walk the dog for a about 6 minutes. Pop into Erik's, there's my sandwich, thank the lovely crew (they are the nicest). Dog goes nuts over the smell. I go nuts over the smell. Drive home. Savor the moment and sit down, take out the sandwich and drop my jaw at the beauty of this thing. I mean it was just perfectly composed, including the additions I made in the app (add sprouts, add pepperoncini, side of goo), perfectly executed. It is delicious. Thank you Erik's Deli crew that made me this sandwich on Thursday 1/12/2023 at time much quicker than the estimated time of 5:49pm. You made my night. I regret I didn't tip better. Maybe next week? (or maybe tomorrow to take advantage of these triple points!)

Combo take out came very well packed .  ( carrot cake is not included in the combo . It was purchased separately )

I like Erik's Deli , but this one in Rancho Del Mar in Aptos is the best one ! Always great service and consistently delicious . Today my husband picked up my take out order I made in the App . I ordered the SOURDOUGH BOWL CLAM CHOWDER SOUP AND HOUSE SALAD COMBO . I was gladly surprised when I opened the bag at home and the bread bowl was still warm and crunchy , the soup very hot and creamy and the house salad , a very good size ( bigger than it looks in the pic ) , with mixed greens , tomatoes , cucumbers , sprouts and croutons . I paid extra for avocado . This combo is a good value too .

I have an Erik's close to where I live that I have been to once. This was my second time ever and enjoyed it. It was super convenient to order online and pick up after. The staff was very nice and friendly. The sandwiches were a hit and went fast. I had a veggie wrap which was tasty and nutritious.

This is *not* Erik's food but this is what we received.  And the # on the receipt said we were crazy.

Very upset - DO NOT order online using the eriksdelicafe.com link. We have been ordering here instead of using Door Dash because we want to support the local store. We thought we were supporting the local franchise owner. Today, our order was WRONG - it was dripping Chinese food and 25% in value/size vs. what we ordered from Erik's (we almost thought to just accept the mistake and eat the Chinese food). When I called the # on the receipt, which is Erik's Aptos location, and explained the situation, the person on the food was adamant they do not do delivery service, and obviously, they don't sell Chinese food, so I must have ordered from Door Dash. I. DID. NOT!!! I ordered directly on the eriksdelicafe.com site. It's even linked on the Yelp page here. It turns out Erik's uses some service called Olo. But there is no way to contact Olo as a consumer and request a refund. The receipt actually says call the original store and has the store's number. We did, and were told we were crazy. Even the Olo help pages said to contact the original store. It makes no sense if this was a Door Dash service that they would make the consumer call the store. Olo is a third-party service, but it's licensed by Erik's and Erik's is responsible for the screwed up door. I've been tipping well each time we've ordered thinking it was an Erik's employee. I'd ask for a refund, but there's nowhere to ask for it. They better not spit in my food next time when I escalate this issue!

Pilgrim's Progress Sandwich

5 stars for the wonderful customer service, healthy options, and diverse (but not too lengthy) menu! The woman who helped us was so patient and friendly. Service like that really does leave you with a smile on your face as you walk out the door with your sandwich. It was New Years Day when we stopped by and so I was definitely looking for something on the healthier side. I really appreciate the calorie information on all their items, and ended up opting for their low calorie Pilgrim's Progress Sandwich. I'm not even a sandwich person, but this was delicious! It was perfect for our trip to the beach. Highly recommend this spot. Free parking in their shared lot.

I had a pastrami sandwich there once before and it was pretty good, so figured this would do. Ordered the burger combo with Lentil soup. Asked for my burger medium and when it came out it was well past that and I'm pretty sure it was a frozen patty. I have frozen patties I cook at home that are great, so guessing it just wasn't very good quality to begin with. The lentil soup was flavorless and I only had a few bites before tossing out. Seasoning, a ham hock, and some aromatics would do a lot for this soup. Left feeling very disappointed as there are a bunch of more satisfying options in the area and I chose the wrong one. As I was sitting in traffic, my stomach started feeling like I ate some broken glass or something. Obviously there wasn't broken glass in the burger, just a fitting analogy. I had stomach pains for the next few hours. This is all I had eaten in like 10 hours, so I'm positive it was the burger. The woman at the counter was friendly and the place was pretty clean. I've got a pretty iron gut and it takes a lot to make it turn. Don't think I will be going back.
