You can choose the bread you want as well. I also grabbed a bag of chips. But these were all separate prices. Too bad there wasn't a special lunch price of sandwich, chips, and a drink. I guess they don't get many customers to make that a thing. I just came by again (December 20th, Saturday) and was informed that the deli portion wasn't open today sadly. So they aren't reliant on that aspect, they should have posted a sign outside to inform people. I just bought some chips for 2.99 -- which is not bad compared to grocery store prices but the bags are smaller and less is given as well so take that into account. At least they accept cash! And drinks are refrigerated so they are nice and cool and refreshing if you were to buy one.

Salt and vinegar chips are $2.99 (bit of a steal, because the bag was barely full. Like less than half... less than usual lol).

I would drive from Poway just to get this. Yes, you read that right. The mac salad is a nice add to the meal, the noodles are still very al-dente. The taste is identical to a traditional potato salad except swap the potatoes with al dente mac salad. Owner was super nice and had a lot on his hands but he managed to take 3 or 4 orders in during the time he made my sandwich. And take care of his daughter! I'm definitely coming back.

I explained my order was an hour late and he quickly interrupted me to say " I dont know what you expect when you have people who dont know English like Asian and Russians delivering your items". I explained that what does that have to do with my sandwich that was made wrong. He continued to argue with me and state he could do nothing but the owner Ryan know. As the call was ended he decided to bring up his racist thoughts again about grubhub and Uber delivery drivers and continued to repeat how these people cant understand anything and all it is is African, Asians and Russians. I told him his comments were out of line and completely racist. He still attempted to spill out hateful speech over hearing what a customer had to say and I finally hung up. He called me back 30 min later and said rhe owner Ryan was refunding my money and he was sorry for his racist comments. Absolutely way to late!!! I DO NOT RECOMMENDED ANYONE goes to this board and brew. Also corporate should consider who they allow to run these establishments becuase it sets a bad reputation for other locations!

Weighing heavily on my conscience is what I now recognize as the most disappointing dining experience I've ever encountered--particularly unfortunate because it took place at one of my favorite establishments. I understand that the restaurant was short-staffed that day and made the decision to shift someone from the floor to the kitchen. However, it seemed that the only thing on the menu was his pride. After being served a sandwich that was both lukewarm and cold--twice, mind you--I repeatedly requested my soup before the main course, a request I made no fewer than seven times. When I finally tried to send my food back in hopes of receiving a temperature appropriate wholesome meal, I was unexpectedly asked to leave. It struck me as excessive to ask our entire party to depart over the issue of receiving poorly prepared sandwiches, served on scorching hot plates that altered the temperature of half the sandwich. Moreover, these sandwiches had clearly been sitting under a heat lamp; they were warm on top yet unappetizingly cold in the middle. Simply delightful. My insistence on the soup before the main course, especially considering that it was already prepared, should have been easily accommodated. After waiting 45 minutes for what should have been a simple meal in a restaurant that was less than one-third full during off-peak hours, we explained to the agitated temporary chef that we were hungry. He refused to entertain our concerns, stating that if we didn't leave, he would call the authorities. This is the moment that lingers in my memory. When a group of friends to go to this once-beloved establishment, we ordered our usual favorites only to find that they had arrived in a manner that deviated significantly from their description and quality standards. The temporary kitchen coverage seemed unable to set aside his pride long enough to acknowledge the shortcomings of our meal. Threatening to involve the authorities when we simply wished to enjoy our meal and offered to settle the bill was beyond excessive. As he the management on duty that day, he left us with no recourse, and we exited empty-handed, burdened by a bitter taste in our mouths and a reluctance to recommend the restaurant again. This unfortunate experience will surely linger in our minds for quite some time. read more

This restaurant's food is either HORRIBLE or pretty good. It depends on the day you go. We have gone there frequently and have seen both. It's almost like on some days the turkey or corned beef is fresh and then they keep it for a long time and it starts to get dry and tasteless and changes color. Somteimes the bread is fresh, other times it's inedible. One time we ordered 2 sandwiches, 2 sodas and 2 cheescakes and paid over $70. That's a little much, don't you think? It's hard to tell what you are going to get in terms of quality. The prices are exorbitantly high. We are from Chicago so we understand what good deli food is like, and we don't expect them to reach the bar of Chicago or New York which we have visited also, but this is very expensive for what you get. If you try to call in for take out, it's almost impossible for them to get the order right. Why is it so hard to include mustard? Why do you get one little tiny package of mustard only, that is if you get it. Why if you order soup with noodles, carrots and NO chicken do you consistently get soup with ONLY chicken, no noodles, no carrots. Why when you order regular soda do you get diet? To be fair, this is happening in a lot of restaurants lately - I think it is just that most of the employees on the market don't have the required cognitive skills. If you order food at the deli here, we are pretty sure you are not getting the full poundage you pay for. We ordered a lb. of turkey and it was much less than a lb. So this is a place of sporadic quality. There is no other deli in San Diego county except DZ Akins that we know of and that isn't much better. It would be a great opportunity if someone opened a really first class deli in San Diego county. But in the meantime this is probably the best you can hope for. read more

Milton's is one of those places where you walk in and immediately feel like you should be wearing a cardigan and muttering about how nobody slices pastrami thin anymore. And yet, you sit, you schmooze, you order, and suddenly life isn't so bad. The star of the whole operation is that giant matzo ball. I'm telling you, this thing isn't a matzo ball, it's a flotation device. If the Titanic had one of these, they'd still be sailing. And if you're smart, you get it mish mosh style. Half kreplach, half matzo ball, all comfort. It's like the United Nations of Jewish soup. You take a spoonful and suddenly you're negotiating peace treaties with your childhood. The pastrami sandwich? Listen. It's not Katz's, it's not Carnegie, but it's respectable. A decent pastrami. A pastrami with a job, a family, responsibilities. It's not trying to be a superstar, it's just trying to get you through the day without complaining. And honestly, that's more than I can say for most people. And let me tell you something, because nobody tells you this. Before you go, before you sit, before you even think about ordering, you check Groupon. You hear me? You check Groupon. They've got deals that make you feel like you're stealing, and at my age, a bargain is better than a blood pressure pill. So go to Milton's. Get the mish mosh. Get the pastrami. Kvetch a little. Smile a little. And remember, a good deli is like a good therapist. It listens, it warms you up, and it sends you home feeling like maybe the world isn't falling apart after all. read more

Delicious sandwiches! Love their brown bag deal. Perfect for lunch - sandwich, chips, cole slaw, cookie and soda. Turkey is fresh sliced breast. Milton's bread is like squaw bread - deliciously sweet and ALWAYS fresh. Love the pickle that comes with it. The cole slaw is creamy without being overly dressed. The cookie ... lately it's been a tuxedo cookie with white chocolate on one side and dark chocolate on the other. I love ending a great meal with something sweet. We try to pick up a brown bag deal 2x a month and park at the beach nearby and enjoy the ocean view and cool salty breeze with our delicious lunch. It does take a while to make, so just call ahead if you're in a hurry or they have a cute patio to relax while you wait. And you have to try the desserts! The napoleons are amazing. The coconut macaroon are mouth watering. Every dessert they make is a treat to eat. Enjoy! PS. I've never eaten in the restaurant. I'm completely in love with the deli and desserts. I've been going for 5+ years. It's amazing!! August 2019 Another wonderful brown bag lunch for the beach. Thank you Brittany. It was exactly how we ordered. Turkey stacked high. Delicious avocado. Excellent cole slaw. Awesome!! read more

This place was awful. The set up is weird it looks huge and is tiny. The best part of the meal was the ranch. Not to mention the service is crap. We placed the kids orders so we would get those first they brought it out relatively quick. We asked ranch for them never got it. I got a half a overstuffed sandwich. Seeing how it said overstuffed I assumed it would be big like at DZ Akins. Omg what a joke!!! It was a piece of plain bread like half of a piece of toast bread. With just meat and bread. Really 11 dollars for that!?! What a rip off!! No mayo no fixings nothing. Then when I asked for fixings she got annoyed not to mention again it took for ever. The meat was not that great I've bought better pastrami at Von's and the bread tastes stale. Their pickles taste like they were bought at Costco. The only good thing they had was ranch. I would never come eat here again. Bland and gross. You want a real Jewish deli experience go to DZ Akins or the little place over there in LA Jolla area by that Whole food. Don't come here unless you want a sandwich with a side of disappointment. read more

Seeing that I am at Milton's ALL THE TIME, I thought it fitting for them to be my first reviewed place. I have probably had every waitress/waitor there at least once, this last time I had Jorge (cutie pa-tootie). I didn't have to ask twice for anything and our order came out perfect and PIPING HOT. My sister and I both ordered reubens and Soup. And as usual it was perfect!!! Corned Beef was moist and not too fatty, the bread was crisp the cheese was melted PERFECTLY and the potato salad side sealed the deal. uh-MAZE-Ing. Jorge was able to reccomend a good wine for her and a GREAT beer for myself. The price was right and we couldn't have been happier. I live in the area and am used to paying ALOT more for ALOT LESS! The value is there and although it is on what some might call "the pricier side", I found it to be a fair cost. I am a lifetime customer and my kids will be too. Milton's is our local watering hole!!!! We love you guys! Keep up the good work. read more

This is the message I got from Milton's " Get back from where you belong. Maybe you are a upty demanding bitch. You need to take your group of assholes and reevaluate your values. I love Mexican people, but your group gives them a bad name." - Martin W It is insane to me that an employee can write something like this to a costumer, good or bad. Please know what type of people work for Miltons. Telling me to go back where I came from and and upty demanding bitch. This is insulting and unprofessional.

Service was great as we were repeatedly asked if we wanted refills or anything else. We ordered a couple of sandwiches with one of them being the full size Reuben and I ordered a half of the extra lean corned beef. Amazing! The half was all I needed.

In general, I believe that San Diego's delis leave much to be desired. There is no place in the city that could hold its own next to even the most mediocre delis in city's like NY, Boston, Chicago, San Fran, Miami or even LA. Having said that, two of them, Milton's and DZ Akins do stand above the rest. Milton's has good food, big portions and fair prices, but what in my opinion makes it a little better than DZ is that service is always friendly and the place is always clean. I wouldn't take any of my NY friends here, but for what we've got in SD, Milton's is the best out there. read more

Returned to San Diego last night, and spending Father's Day with my in-laws…read more We came to T's and sat outside for brunch today after church and it was a beautiful overcast day. The patio seating is best for groups of 4. More seating inside. Our server was friendly and helpful. We ordered coffee which arrived piping hot and delicious! Two of us ordered BLT sandwiches with avocado and side salad with balsamic vinaigrette, and my husband ordered the Mexicali egg scramble with a side of beans, my father-in-law ordered a potato scramble substituting grits for the potatos. The food was ready in 15 minutes. The BLTs were scrumptious , bacon super crispy. The grits* scramble was also delicious. My husband was disappointed with the Mexicali, particularly that it was already lukewarm when it arrived. He wished he'd gotten the scramble which apparently was still hot upon arrival. Service 5/5 Ambience (patio) 5/5 Food 4/5 (hot food should come out hot). We'll be back!

Attention Paymard family. Please read my review of my family's experience today…read more My kids wanted to treat me to Father's Day breakfast before heading to the fair. My daughter was the one who chose T's Cafe for our celebration, excited to share a place she loved with the family. Unfortunately, what should have been a special family meal turned into one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had in years. We arrived at 11:37 AM and were quoted a 20 to 30 minute wait. We were not seated until 12:29 PM, nearly an hour later. I understand holidays are busy, but quoting a wait time that is off by almost double sets the tone for a disappointing experience. Unfortunately, the service only deteriorated from there. After being seated, it took 10 minutes to receive water, 20 minutes before our server Leslie took our drink order, approximately 30 minutes before our food order was taken, and 45 minutes after being seated before drinks arrived. Even then, the drinks were delivered separately, about five minutes apart. Our meals arrived roughly an hour after being seated, and once again, the three dishes were delivered separately several minutes apart. Long waits on Father's Day are frustrating, but understandable. What was not understandable was the complete lack of accountability when our order was delivered incorrectly. My daughter specifically requested wheat bread on her sandwich for health reasons and was served sourdough. My son ordered a fried chicken sandwich and instead received a chicken fried steak. When Leslie finally returned, approximately 15 minutes after our meals had been delivered, I politely pointed out the mistakes. Her response was shocking. She dramatically flipped through her handwritten notes and insisted that my daughter had ordered sourdough and that we were mistaken. She acknowledged that my son's order was incorrect but made no effort whatsoever to correct it. Instead, while I was in the middle of asking a question, she simply turned around and walked away. At this point, we had already requested water from two other employees because Leslie had disappeared for extended periods. Throughout most of the meal, our water glasses remained empty. No refills were offered, and no additional beverage service was provided. When we finished eating, Leslie still had not returned. We ultimately had to ask a busser for our check. When she finally brought it, I asked for her name. She ignored me and walked away. I asked again. No response. I asked a third time, louder because it was clear I was being ignored. After paying, I asked two employees if a manager was available. They informed me that Pam had apparently left about 20 minutes earlier without informing anyone and was nowhere to be found. I then asked those employees for the server's name and was told it was Leslie. At that moment, Leslie emerged from the bar area and began raising her voice at me, repeatedly calling me "cruel." Every attempt I made to speak was interrupted by her continuing to raise her voice and repeat the accusation. This occurred in front of other guests at approximately 2:05 PM. Owners, specifically the Paymard family, I strongly encourage you to review your security footage from approximately 2:05 PM on Father's Day. This interaction should be used as a training opportunity because no guest should ever be treated this way. What makes this especially disappointing is that we have dined here at least a dozen times over the years. We intentionally support T's Cafe because it is a family-owned, women-owned business, and we have always appreciated supporting a local establishment with those values. In fact, I still think the biscuits and gravy are excellent, and I enjoyed my patty melt. However, one employee completely ruined what should have been a special Father's Day meal with my kids. My daughter, who had proudly chosen this restaurant to make the day special, left feeling embarrassed and responsible for how the morning had unfolded. That is not a feeling any child should carry home on a holiday. Poor service can be forgiven. Long waits on a holiday can be forgiven. Mistakes happen. Being blamed for the restaurant's mistakes, ignored repeatedly, denied basic service, and then publicly berated by a server is unacceptable. After years of being customers, we will not be returning. I will also be sharing this experience with others because no guest should be treated with this level of disrespect. A restaurant's food may bring people in, but customer service determines whether they come back, and in this case, it guaranteed that we won't.

You might think, "ugh a gas station deli" but this place is not like that. Yea they have premade if you're in a hurry but if they're open I highly recommend having them make you one. The fresh bread (French sub roll) makes the sandwich. It's very clean, the staff is always friendly. And their meat is top quality boars head and they don't skimp! I haven't found a better sandwich in the area and very reasonably priced for the amount you get. Frozen yogurt is a little limited for flavors but they have all the most popular ones and tons of toppings to choose from.

Everything I've tried so far has been delicious, and it's such a great option if you're limited to a gluten-free diet. The staff is also very friendly and happy to answer any questions you may have.

Then a few years ago, it changed hands (Maybe more than once) and the only Location that I know of now is this one in the City of Encinitas in San Diego County. I haven't been there in 3 years because it is a 1.5 to 2 hour drive. But on fathers day this year, I decided to treat my parents to brunch as it is my father's favorite place for the Niçoise salad. So, i drove from Long Beach. Champagne Bakery is a small french Bakery and café. It is located in a very charming Spanish mediterranean white building with terra cotta roof tiles and a large courtyard with lots of tables under market umbrellas, reminiscent of a European small town square. The seating is almost exclusively all outdoors for the exception of a couple of small tables inside. There is plenty of parking out front. The menu has a lot to offer and is centered around french Café classics such as the French Onion soup, the Croque Monsieur and the Niçoise Salad. But they also have omelettes, paninis, savory and sweet crepes, soups, and more. They have lots of daily baked goods including baguettes, pastries, cake by the slice as well as whole cakes, coffees etc (see full menu in photos) I tried the broccoli cheddar soup for the first time. It comes with a piece of French roll. It was creamy and flavorful. I also got an omelette with spinach, mushroom and Swiss cheese. It comes with either salad or breakfast potatoes as well as a piece of french roll. I got the potatoes extra crispy. Everything tasted really good. My father ordered his all time personal favorite. The Niçoise salad and my mother ordered a soup and sandwich combo. We all enjoyed our food outdoors on a breezy and beautiful sunny day. The manager and staff members were super friendly and accommodating and Prices are reasonable. I wish we lived closer. I would visit more often. If you've never been to Champagne bakery, I recommend giving it a try.

Recently me and a friend dined at Claire's on Cedros while I was visiting from Florida (She lives…read morein San Diego.) I went last time I was here a year ago, and remembered how much I loved everything about it. (Food, drink, staff, and ambiance.) We went on a Wednesday and had an amazing breakfast. I had the Tuscan Benedict and my friend had the California omelet- both were outstanding and cooked perfectly. We each had a latte, and both were made with Barista perfection! My friend had a hot latte and had beautiful latte art- it was really delicious. We also shared the peach coffee cake, which was the best I have ever had- I would buy it again and again if I lived here. Our waitress was also lovely and provided wonderful breakfast service. The following Monday (so less than a week later) we returned as 2 friends had joined us, and we loved it so much- seemed like a perfect idea to return. It started off on an odd foot- our waiter was cold and aloof, which was odd based on prior experiences. The first thing that threw us was my friend ordered a coconut latte (Espresso, whole milk, coconut syrup.) It came out looking suspect, as it had none of the attention to detail we had seen the prior week. It was also bad- not creamy, not coconut. It was not drinkable. We realized when we saw the bill- it was entered as a plain coconut milk latte. (Def not what was ordered.) Although 3 of our entrees were cooked perfectly - my friends eggs benedict arrived raw (it was a scary.) When the waiter finally made his way to us we showed him, he shrugged and asked if they should re make it - we said yes, this is dangerous. It took a VERY long time for my friends entree to be re made (so long that I said I fear they are going to error the other way.) Sadly, I was correct. Essentially it came out as a hard boiled egg in poached egg form. I was really frustrated for her, and I went to speak to someone at the front of house. They were wonderful and made it right and re made her breakfast correctly, but of course now the entire table was done eating. As we walked back to our table she told me that 3 benedict had been returned to the kitchen that am, so something was going on with the chef. They comped my friends meal for transparency. My concern is this place is lovely with wonderful staff and food. What was going on this day? I hope the owners address it because with our first experience we would return again and again, but with the latter experience we would hesitate to return. The restaurant made good on the situation, but we would rather pay for delicious food and wonderful service, as I am sure everyone would. Our first visit would be 5 stars, and the second 3- hence the 4 stars.
