We had a mixed experience at Peebee & Jay's. The woman working there was very friendly, polite, and welcoming, which we really appreciated. However, the man who appeared to be the owner (young, beard, wearing basketball shorts) made us feel uncomfortable. After I had already paid for our food, I was questioned about whether I had paid for a second bag of chips. Even after it was clarified as a mistake, there was no direct apology to us, and the interaction left us feeling unfairly accused and uneasy. On top of that, the sandwiches were just average for the price. Overall, the experience was disappointing despite the friendly service from the other staff member. I just hope he treats his employees better than he treats his customers. May 29, 2026 12:45 PM read more

Great Sandwich's and service. Came here for a mom and pop sandwich and it was delivered! Will be back! read more

I really enjoyed my meal here. I shared an egg salad sandwich with my mom (they separately wrapped both halves for us) and I got a 1/2 kale caesar salad. The 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad filled me up. I really liked the caesar dressing. It definitely seemed homemade, as well did the croutons. The staff was friendly, and the inside of the restaurant was clean. I added a picture of the menu with updated prices. read more

Sandwich has an off taste the meat or something else is very sour and will be going back to return the sandwich. This place could use a little house cleaning has a grungy vibe and also prices are extremely high for size & quality of sandwich. Won't be returning other than to get a refund. read more

Been going here periodically for years now. This last visit confirmed they still have great food and nice service. Still highly recommended.

Good sandwiches but very very slow service. It was a Sunday but during lunchtime and had one guy making sandwiches. Other guy just standing around watching Wouldn't go back because of this read more

This was the perfect sandwich shop for our beach day. I asked the cashier what sandwich he would recommend for me and he said the Turkey on the Range with ciabatta. I decided to also get a PB and J sandwich just to see how they were as well, so I ordered the Peebee's Gone Bananas with honey wheat bread. Staff was friendly and helpful. The order was ready in less than 10 minutes. The Turkey on the Range was a great choice. Plenty of Turkey with avocado, red onion, cheese, tomato and ranch dressing. It felt like a solid meal and I felt pretty satisfied after eating it. The PB and J was for a snack later on and I shared half of it with my sister. It was nothing to write home about. Pretty standard for PB with bananas and honey. But it was still a good choice. I definitely would come back on my next vacation. read more

I'm generally not a sandwich guy but I wanted something to grab and go. Peebee and Jays prides itself on offering high quality food made for the diner on the go. They had a plethora of options, but the sever told me the super chicken was very popular and recommended it on ciabatta. Otherwise I was eyeing the thanksgiving turkey sandwich... Minutes after placing my order, I was out the door, sandwich in hand. While the sandwich wasn't huge, every bite was perfect and I left satisfied. I'm a huge fan of the Anaheim chiles paired with the garlic aioli (they called it "garlic mayo," which is the same thing). The ciabatta was soft, warm, and lightly toasted. My experience at Peebee and Jays has made me rethink my stance on sandwiches -- maybe deep down inside I am a sandwich guy after all, but only if it's a great sandwich! read more

Peebee & Jays - Super chicken on ciabatta - Sandwiches Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Peebee & Jays to go for a beach side picnic was a great idea! Just like mom used to make, on honey wheat bread this peanut butter w/banana sandwich hits the spot when craving sweet and savory. Maybe it was the cream cheese, or because I've been mayo deprived for years but this was best vegetarian sandwich I've had in years. The Carpintarian is a sandwich you can really sink your teeth into. Carrot shreds are different but I still enjoyed it. The ciabatta bread really made this a fulfilling sandwich! The place is small with some tables inside and a few outdoors. Lots of folks picking up orders to-go. read more

Always great service, delicious and fresh food, and lots of veggie options to choose from. A great place to stop on a road trip or to grab and bring to the beach. read more

We had high hopes for this sandwich shop because of the reviews and we were very disappointed. We ordered three sandwiches and none were amazing. My husband had the Italian on a soft roll and he said it was just ok. I had the Thanksgiving on a soft roll and it was very underwhelming. Almost no cream cheese or cranberry sauce to the point of it being dry. The only thing I could really taste was the red onion (which I love but I want other flavors as well). My daughter had the signature Peebee and Jay on white sourdough. She was very disappointed and said it tasted like a bad school lunch pb&j. She wanted is super gooey and a lot more jelly. The shop was super cute inside and the employee that helped us was nice. We just wanted better sandwiches. $45 for three sandwiches, 2 chips and 2 fountain drinks seemed very expensive for the quality of the sandwiches. read more

I ordered a half BLT with avocado. It was good, but small and came to over 10.00 for a half a sandwich. It wasn't that good. The prices are very high. A BLT is supposed to be on toasted bread, which it was, but they wrapped it in foil so when I went to pick up my 10.00 sandwich, the foil had steamed the bread, so when I got back to work with my 10.00 half a sandwich, I had to put it in the toaster over to get the wet steam out of it. A little frustrating. They need to think a bit on how they present the food to go. read more

A classic Carpinteria sandwich spot. The staff at the counter are always kind, and they have a great selection of sandwiches. Delicious combinations of cheeses and jams. They're on the pricier side, but for a nice lunch, would call them worth it 9/10 times; if you haven't already, bare minimum give them a try. read more

Food was good. Everything tasted good but overpriced. Nice place though gonna spend your whole wallet just for

We were excited because of the gluten free options for my wife, but after the cashier rang us up (while wearing gloves), he went back and began making food without changing his gloves. I asked if he could change his gloves and he did. A little while later, he rang up another customer and then went back to the sandwich making. Fine, he didn't touch any cash, so I'll let it slide... but then 20+ minutes later, we were still waiting on our 3 sandwiches and he rang up ANOTHER customer at the register and went back to making food WITHOUT CHANGING HIS GLOVES! At this point he'd been wearing the same gloves for a half hour or more and rang up multiple customers and touched things all throughout the kitchen, including the trash can. It was too much. I asked for him to cancel our order and eventually the other guy working there was able to refund us... and then he ALSO went back to making food without changing his gloves! read more

Customer service was good, Sandwich was ok but not great Overly expensive But the cleanliness is not there, the floor was just disgusting, girls don't change their gloves, and there was a child in there? Like couldn't have been older than 8 years old? Yeah not great read more

After finally deciding where I wanted to go to lunch, I'm glad I chose this establishment. This was my first time and I ordered the Chicken Cordon for lunch and also the Bacon Went on a Date for dinner. I asked for both on sourdough and, as another reviewer stated, the crust was unchewable unfortunately, hence the four stars. Other than the, both sandwiches were absolutely delicious and refreshing and the employees were very kind and patient. All of the sandwiches, salads and soups sounded amazing and I plan to come here again. Thank you! read more

Innovative menu items, amusing descriptions, but service is dragging. Pros: + I enjoyed seeing all the innovative sandwiches on the menu, particularly the bacon/date/goat cheese/turkey sandwich. + The descriptions are fun, like "a bacon went on a date." + Bread was nice and fresh. + The Cobb salad was loaded with meat and other goodies and was well above average, Cons: - Dining area inside is quite small, but most people take out from here. - The bacon/date/turkey sandwich was good but just slightly dry. - The cashier took about 60 seconds looking at the iPad cash register to enter every menu item ordered. If I ordered a "build your own" sandwich I fear I would have been standing there for 15 minutes. - The other staff didn't seem supremely motivated either. - Drink selection is limited in a small fridge, no fountain. Fortunately the food is pretty good especially some sandwiches you may not have heard of or considered before. Worth a shot for sure. read more

The food was amazing. I came all the way from LA county just for this spot. I highly recommend it. read more

What a gem of a sandwich shop! Just passing through Carpenteria and found it on Yelp. In a shopping center just off the 101. Great variety of soft fresh bread with any combination of meat, vegetarian, or sweet sandwich options you could imagine. I loved the vegetarian Carpenterian with golden heirloom tomatoes. read more

Peebee & Jays - Nutella pb and j - Sandwiches Near Me - Carpinteria, California

I walked in the store and placed a to go order with the cashier, I was told they would bring my order outside when ready... they were not busy at all. After waiting about a half hour and seeing several people order after me and get their food I walked inside to see if my order was ready. Was told by cashier he didn't see my order and would get it started. I mentioned that I had placed my order with him in person about 30 minutes ago and was told the delay was that the order didn't send to the kitchen...he put the order in the computer himself so not sure what happened there. I go back outside to wait and 15 minutes later he brings my order to me. I get home open the bag and discover that I got the correct items, but they didn't heat my sandwich as requested and they put extra mayo when I asked for no mayo. Food was good as always, but service is not the same since it has changed ownership read more

I've been to PeeBee & Jays previously while working in Carpinteria and I decided to take my wife here as we were passing through towards Los Olivos. Peebee & Jays is definitely a must-try sandwich shop if you are in the area! They offer a lunch combo where you can mix & match 2 options between a 1/2 sandwich, soup, or salad. We shared a Chicken Tortilla Soup and a 1/2 Italian Hot Sandwich. The soup was solid, with generous portions of chicken and veggies. The Italian sandwich was the star of the show thanks to the meat trio of Salami, Capicola and Mortadella! $_$ Whats even better? Try the selections of free infused water! Daniel approved 5/5 ;) read more

Interesting small shop. Good fresh food - more than just PB&J. Staff is what set it apart for me. Very friendly and made my stop worthwhile. I'd go again. Fast & good! read more

This place was very interesting and I'm sure they have some great sandwiches! The actual PB & J sandwich was super basic, not worth $5 but the turkey, bacon sandwich was stacked. Definitely shareable. I would have preferred something with a bit more sauce, as overall the sandwich came off very dry, but otherwise clean ingredients that were fresh! The menu names are very creative and I would eat here again. read more

Great sandwiches! Nice selection of breads. More than just peanut butter and jelly, too!

I was surprised at how good this place was. The sandwiches were very fresh and the taste was great. They were out of a lot of options but what I did end up ordering was delicious. The bread, ciabatta, was amazing and the avocado was fresh. The staff was nice. The girl at the counter was young and this seemed like her first job, she will get better with time and more experience. read more

For some odd reason, Google Maps freaked out while providing directions and sent us in through the back of the complex where this restaurant sits. Once we got to the right place, we were set! This charming indy sandwich place sits in the center with other fast food / fast casual restaurants. There is a Mexican place and a Chinese one, among others. Lots of free parking available. Peebee & Jays, aside from the clever name, features a wide variety of creative sandwiches, plus soup and salads. There is a section of the menu devoted to various twists on PB&J sandwiches. Then there are multiple options for breads, meats, cheeses, and veggies. We opted to share a hot pastrami on whole wheat sourdough. It came with a few veggies that I wouldn't have expected, but made for a great sandwich. So fresh and tasty! Very happy with our choice. While offering many beverage choices to purchase, they also had flavored water available for free. I also tried an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, which was okay. Nowhere near as good as the sammie. The two employees working were very friendly and helpful. The interior is basic, but with a few hints of charm. We decided we would be happy to return and try other menu items. So many choices! read more

This is my 4th time here. I'd be able to say many more but it's located in Carpenteria. The food is so good and so fresh. You can build your own sandwich. I always get turkey on rye. I'm Jewish by default so I know about rye bread and it's delicious. I can actually taste every ingredient with every bite unlike other sandwich chains that look pretty but have minimal flavor if any. Not to mention processed meats. It's a must try if your nearby. read more

Really great sandwich and the people that work there could not be nicer. Will definitely visit again.

The best lunch place in Carp hands down. I love the made to order salad, the super chicken, the soup, etc. There really is nothing bad here and I order lunch from here 2-3x/wk. Every time I'm there, at least one of my colleagues is also there picking up lunch or dining outside. The owner and the staff has been amazing throughout COVID. Thank you Peebee & Jays for you resilience! Our company in Carp would be devastated if Peebee & Jays were not around. Thank you! Hope you can stay strong! read more

Oh my! Really? Peanut Butter & jelly! My dream place! It was so yummy! The multigrain bread was yummy as was the strawberry jam! And the chocolate chip cookie was "gluten free", is that good? A little flute, or a lot never bothered me! Wow that P,B, & J was yummy! 5 star! Loved it! Can we open one of these in HB? Wait I have one at home!! read more

Omg such good sandwiches. The Apple sandwich I got was super good. The sandwich's are HUGE though. The staff were really nice. The place was nice and clean. I recommend you eat there. read more

Great service, food is wonderful. Glad I found this place. Great stopping place on the coast.

I love this place. Good quality ingredients and novel flavor combinations. I would give 5 stars but they do this annoying thing with sandwiches ordered lettuce wrapped. They don't roll them like wraps. They take a large piece of green leaf lettuce and place it on bottom of the plate, build the sandwich, leaf on top, then slice in half, as if lettuce can just step in for bread. This idea is straight out of a Timothy Leary acid trip if applied to meat sandwiches. When applied to the egg salad sandwich I ordered, forget acid, it's like they hired the escaped mental patients to assemble. Silly me for not instructing them to wrap my wrap. I incorrectly assumed that a lettuce wrap implies that you, well, wrap the lettuce around like a tortilla. I will next time, and hope I don't have to eat a chicken salad chopped salad with my hands. Minus one star. read more

This is the perfect little spot to grab fresh sandwiches whether you're a Carp local or passing through. We love going here on days where we drive up to the Santa Barbara Zoo - always stopping for half sandwiches and a PBJ for our toddler. It's conveniently right off the 101 and everything is made with fresh ingredients. Today we grubbed on half sandwiches, mine being the turkey and my husband their BLAT with a caprese side salad and a kale Caesar. It's the perfect amount to start our day and moderately priced. Couldn't recommend this spot more! It's great for families and who can pass up fresh sammies? read more
