I've been going to the specific location ever since they opened :) Always has the most incredible Dutch crunch bread. Nobody else in the area does it right like these guys do. Fresh, High-quality ingredients, and a bunch of delicious and various sauce options. I get what I like to call "The California Club" - Which is a grilled chicken sandwich on a Dutch crunch roll with pepper jack, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and whatever sauce I'm feeling that day. Staff is always super chill and the restaurant is nice because the lighting isn't too bright. This is often my choice for having lunch delivered to my work, or just to grab and head down to the beach. 12/10 Can't recommend this place enough, will always return!

I wish I lived closer I'd come try a new sandwich every week.

My husband and I were out for a walk on Balboa Island and decided to grab a bite to eat. We…read morestumbled across Says Artisanal Deli and were pleasantly surprised. The sandwich selection offered a great variety of options and instantly reminded us of some of the delis we visited in Italy. The employee mentioned that fresh focaccia would be ready in about 10 minutes, which was a thoughtful heads-up and definitely worth the wait. I ordered the Carissimo, while my husband--who tends to prefer simpler flavors--went with the Not a Muffuletta without the olive salad. At first, the price for two sandwiches felt a little steep, but after taking a few bites, it felt justified. The focaccia was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with quality ingredients. If I had one small suggestion, it would be slightly thinner bread to let the fillings shine even more. That said, both sandwiches were delicious, satisfying, and surprisingly light while still filling. As with many spots on Balboa Island, seating is limited, so I'd recommend planning to take your food to go and enjoy it on the beach or at one of the nearby benches. Overall, though pricier for a sandwich, this is a wonderful addition to the island and a great spot for a summer lunch.

Unfortunately, my experience was just average. I ordered the corned beef sandwich, which was decent but fell short of what I was hoping for. The amount of meat wasn't an issue--the main problem was the taste, which I found to be below average compared with places like Brent's Deli in the San Fernando Valley. Unfortunately, the fries were the biggest disappointment. They were noticeably undercooked and stuck to the paper, which made them essentially inedible. I wanted to like this place, but based on this first experience, I don't think it quite lived up to the expectations. OC is just not LA when it comes to quality food.

We got three sandwiches, two pastries, a coffee, smoothie and their wellness shots. The establishment was bright, clean and welcoming. I love the pops of pink everywhere. Jamie said the bread and pastries were imported from Denmark and everything was delicious. It's almost like a flatbread that holds its crisp, all without hurting the roof of your mouth. We got a spicy caesar, tunacado, and the steak. All sandwiches had fresh ingredients but the steak was my absolute favorite. I got the trust your gut smoothie, and it tasted good. The turmeric shot with extra ginger went down really smooth. The banana bread was delicious but the carrot cake was even better. I was overly impressed by this place, easy to find in the mall, welcoming staff, clean establishment and food were good and easy to enjoy at the beach, I can't wait to go try other flavors of smoothies and sandwiches. Can we also talk about how cute and practical their packaging is?!

I recently ordered the Seasonal GOAT with Pink Lady Apples Salad, and while the ingredients were fresh and the salad tasted good, the portion was incredibly disappointing. The website shows a beautiful, generously portioned salad overflowing with ingredients. What I actually received was noticeably smaller, with significantly less lettuce and toppings, and a lot of empty space in the bowl. It honestly looked more like a side salad than a full entrée. I understand that promotional photos are styled, but there should still be some consistency between what's advertised online, displayed in-store, and actually served to customers - especially given the price. I've had much better experiences with portion sizes at other Mendocino Farms locations, which makes the inconsistency here even more frustrating. I've attached side-by-side photos so others can see the difference. I really enjoy Mendocino Farms and hope this location can address the portion inconsistencies and bring its standards in line with the other locations!
