The ham and cheese croissant was made to order, served hot, and was exactly what I needed to start the morning. The owners greet you with genuine smiles and a cheerful energy that makes you feel welcome right away. Everything feels fresh, simple, and made with care. Eating here feels less like a deli and more like having breakfast at your favorite aunt's house. read more

Definitely a no frills sandwich place. Sometimes you just want a classic sandwich, nothing bougie, no fancy sauces or bread...just a good ol fashion sandwich. That's what you get here. The ingredients were fresh and my squaw bread was so soft! I also like that they carry the "dirty" brand of potato chips. Service is also incredibly friendly. Parking in this plaza sucks. read more

Delicious breakfast sandwiches and fresh juices. The deli had a cozy feel and the staff were friendly.

This place is a hidden gem frequented by local businesses. Cozy little place that's clean! Having been open for around 15 years they know how to do sandwiches. The food here is great! I had a club sandwich and everything was fresh. Sourdough was fluffy and toasted to perfection. Fresh crispy bacon topped it off. If you're lucky enough to be served by Sue she's amazing, energetic and charming! They have a large menu to include breakfast but get here early they close @ 3:30. There are lots of healthy choices available. Definitely coming back for a sandwich fix. They do Uber Eats & Door Dash as well. read more

randomly walked by this place and decided to grab some breakfast. Great service and amazing food. I got the everything bagel with the avocado and egg and spicy mayo. Best bagel I've ever had in my life. read more

A very dishonest deli, ordered 2 sandwiches and looking back on the receipts I realized I was charged $3 more than what I ordered. When asking if they still made brkfst burritos (@ 1:30 pm in the afternoon) while they were making my sandwiches, I was told yes, so ordered one off the $8.95 chalakboard price,, was charged $9.95 though and was told it was overtime price, even though nobody else was in there w/me. They lost a previous Lake Forest customer for good... read more

Saw all the amazing reviews so decided to give it a try for lunch. I ordered online for pickup and it was ready within 15 minutes (maybe even less) before 12pm. Short line inside to pick up and the woman working was so nice to everyone. It was very small inside with a couple tables so I'll most likely be ordering to go all the time. I got the turkey pesto wrap and a strawberry banana smoothie. The banana smoothie was delicious! I'd definitely order that again. I will probably skip the turkey pesto wrap next time as it just had a kind of off-putting flavor. It said it came with Swiss cheese but there was like cheddar or fiesta blend or something, but not Swiss and it kind of ruined it for me? Either way it was okay and I'd love to come back to try something different. The flavors all tasted fresh so I'm sure other things are more delicious. Definitely worth trying! read more

I've been here many times, sometimes trying different sandwiches, and have never been disappointed. They consistently use fresh vegetables such as avocados, lettuce, tomato, and sprouts and they'll happily accommodate custom requests. Service is always quick and very friendly with a smile but can get a little busy during the weekday lunch hour. They offer salads, breakfast sandwiches/burritos too. You honestly can't go wrong here. read more

Amazing food and deli! Fresh, healthy ingredients and everything is so good here! Highly recommend and found my new favorite breakfast/lunch spot! read more

Itz-A-Deli - Breakfast burrito with Ham, Sausage, and bacon!!! A grown man gotta eat lol - Delis Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Corned beef was order with mustard and pickles only. Came with 2 pickles, mayo, tomato and lettuce. Cold as well! Corned beef is a hot sandwich and surely doesn't get mayo unless you are a OC white person! The Mac salad was boring! Simply cooked macaroni and a liquid mayo type dressing. No seasoning ! Try adding come color peppers- celery, pepper and salt for some darn flavor. Would have given one star but my wife said her salad was good! You guys should revamp your menus to see what's going on in the sandwich world! read more

Tried this deli out for the first time & service was fast & friendly. The chicken cordon blue sandwich was way better than I could've hoped for. Definitely will eat here again. read more

Itz-A-Deli - Chicken Cordon Blue sandwich on toasted sourdough bread. Delicious! - Delis Near Me - Lake Forest, California

Cute little shop and super friendly. Great sandwiches too. Have lived in area for a while but just tried it and will be back.

Came for the Lake Forest BOGO deal, stayed because this hidden gem reeled me in like a hungry submarine captain spotting treasure. The staff? Absolute legends. The Submarine sandwich? Titanic in size, but thankfully no iceberg--just pure deliciousness. Huge, fairly priced, and worth every bite. Already been back twice, and trust me... this ship will be docking here a lot more often. read more

This deli is delicious. I love the chicken salad sandwich. It tastes fresh and hearty. Service is also excellent. I would definitely recommend. read more

Recently had a wrap, ALMOST ALL LETTUCE. They as a rule are sparse on their meats and cheese, but if you order late in the day , it can be worse. I think the chef doesn't want to open any more product, so puts the little he has left, and then fills it up,with LETTUCE . COULD NOT FIND the cheese, avocado, tomato, sauce, and very little meat. Tasteless. Not fair to the customers to chins on the ingredients . If you can't offer a complete item, tell the customer. I'd never spend my hard earned dollars on a wrap such as this. read more

Pros: fantastic service, prices were fair, fresh tasting lots of options Cons: light portion of meat and not a lot of seating Nice local sandwich shop, would recommend read more

Nice little gem in Lake Forest. The food is good but the service is great. Such sweet people. I ordered the chicken salad on squaw and it was yum. read more

Their selections of sandwiches is quite good. I am working my way through the menu and so far everything I have ordered has been very, very good. The couple that runs it are nice and attentive and fast. Really like it. read more

This little neighborhood deli has some good sandwiches and salads for the lunchtime crowd and some breakfast offerings for those who venture in during the morning hours. The interior is simple with a handful of tables and they currently have a couple more outside under a small tent. The two workers (owners?) were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. It was early afternoon so I ordered a corned beef sandwich on rye with a bag of chips and fountain drink, very reasonably priced. I ate at one of the tables inside. The sandwich was piled high with corned beef and the rye bread was fresh and soft. I had to handle the bread delicately so as not to spill out the contents. Lettuce, tomato, pickles, mustard and mayo added to the flavor although the mayo was a bit heavy. This simple, no frills, old-school style sandwich shop will deliver the goods with a smile which will make you smile too. read more

No frills. Just sandwiches. The cutest mom-and-pop deli! Their sandwiches are upfront and honest, exactly how they're described on the menu. Every bite is refreshing and light. I got the Manhattan on sourdough. Generous layers of meat with fresh veggies that are all sandwiched between fluffy slices of bread. The best lunch I've had in a while! The two owners are the absolute sweetest! They're super welcoming and I'm always greeted with the warmest smile. Really encourages me to continue supporting local :) read more

Chicken salad sandwich had a weird scent, could only take a couple bites. Not sure of the service since it was a uber eats order. The BLT sandwich was not much better. Go elsewhere read more

Wow! What a great experience, not only was the food reasonably priced but it was tasty and the owners were extremely pleasant and kind. I am definitely going to be coming back! read more

This is a nice family owned deli. They have some delicious looking sandwiches and other fanfare. I tried the honey mustard chicken salad and it was a very fresh salad. If you couldn't see them making it in the back you would have still known it was hand made right on the spot for you. Very refreshing and the dressing complimented it nicely! Lots of parking being It's in a strip mall and a great place to get out of the heat and enjoy something on the lighter side! read more

Grabbing breakfast with the SO on our trip. We ordered: 1. Sausage and egg on everything bagel (no cheese or mayo), 2. BLT + avocado on sour dough, 3. Citron tea (cold), and 4. Freshly squeezed OJ I liked all the options available. Their egg sandwich was great with real fried egg. Super delicious sausage. Just one of my favs! The veggies in the BLT was super fresh and as crunchy as the bacon. They strain the OJ. So maybe if we come again we'll ask for some pulp. Service here is excellent. Super nice and very accomodating. They were helping their customers carry food to the car. Would highly recommend for a quick, to-go breakfast. read more

Consistently good food! I have had their breakfast sandwiches and many of their cold sandwiches and they are always great. Fresh ingredients and yummy squaw bread. Customer service is always great too! read more

First time. Great experience! I instantly was greeted with a warm welcome. The kind you only get from a true local deli. Good variety to the menu so I'll be coming back to try more! Got a bacon breakfast burrito (not pictured) which was solid. Tuna avocado sandwich pictured here was excellent. Ingredients were fresh and tasty. Lastly, I feel with inflation these days everywhere is so expensive. This place is very reasonably priced! read more

Not one to really write reviews buuuuuut... Wow! They delivered! Arguably the best sandwich on squaw bread I've ever had. The turkey tasted insanely fresh and buttery. The lettuce and pickles had a freakin great crunch. Perfect avocado and their mayo was really good! The only time I have ever regretted not getting a larger size sandwich. Eating half is plenty for me so can get two meals out of it! I will be returning VERY soon. read more

Their food is good.. I've ordered a few times before. But this time I was left disappointed. My order was wrong, I couldn't even eat it. I ordered a sausage burrito and asked for avocado, they didn't add avocado , instead they added bacon and I don't eat bacon because it's too salty for me. So I couldn't eat that. And I also ordered a grilled chicken croissant sandwich , also told them to add avocado and no tomato. They again didn't add avocado and added tomato which I'm allergic too.. again I wasn't able to eat it. I didn't notice it till lunch time when I was about to eat. I'm not one to call and complain, so figured I would leave this review. Please make sure you double check your food because it was my mistake on not checking! Spent $22 dollars just to throw food away :( read more
