Used to come here when I worked nearby and since I now live 2 hours away haven't been back for several years and it's still great! My husband and I stopped on our way to the state beach to grab some sammies for a little picnic. I got the super chicken and my husband got the cordon bleu. Both were tasty and fresh! We also got a side of the chicken salad which was nice and cold, perfect on a warm sunny day! Quick and easy ordering on the website and our whole order was under $30 and portions were plentiful. Definitely recommend! read more

Been coming here for several years...always had a great experience. Yesterday, not so much. Got two of our favorites sandwiches, both with Multi-grain bread, and no other customization. Ordered online, picked up at the appointed time and tried to eat them within an hour. The bread was completely stale...like, been sitting on the counter in the sun, or left out in the car for a few days. Inedible, and very disappointing. Actually a waste of $23 to be blunt...we did not finish them. We thought: this feels like maybe the company sold itself to a group that cared less about the quality & detail, OR someone making our sandwiches didn't bother to feel the bread, gloves or not. It was like air toast. Don't think I've written a bad review on any restaurant in a while, if ever. But this experience needs calling out. PBJ....hoping this is an anomaly. read more

New owners have changed the beauty of the place. They no longer allow credit cards (without a surcharge), and with no notice to customers, they abolished using points that have been accumulated over many loyal purchases. I can only assume that the new owners are not locals, because they don't understand locals taking care of locals. I'll be taking my business elsewhere (and I used to place orders of over $100 for work/staff lunches, etc). read more

This restaurant is amazing!! The staff is so nice, and the sandwiches are always sooooo good! We love getting stuff from here whenever we have a beach day read more

The tuna sandwich I ordered today was poor quality. Instead of "where's the beef" I was saying "where's the tuna". There was barely any tuna and the bread tasted stale. I used to love this shop but the quality has went down. My friend ordered the chicken salad and he said the description was chunks of chicken. The sandwich had no chunks of chicken. He said it was not as good as last year. Maybe it was just us that had a poor experience. I will say the potato salad was good. I hope they improve because I like to stop in and buy sandwiches to take to the beach. I will try the other sandwiches to see if they are better. read more

Simply, GREAT!!!!!!!! The Chicken Tortilla soup I had for the first time today was amazing. I come here at least a few days a week. Great food and a wonderful staff!!!!! read more

Classic peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and then some! Nut butters, jelly's of different flavors and different kinds of yummy breads to put it all on! It's a super cute shop and it makes you feel like a kid again! read more

The service is amazing, the sandwich? Where is the meat!!! More bread then meat although, the bread is fresh! I wanted more meat

Driving from Morro Bay to San Diego we needed a quick stop off the 101 to get a bite to eat, I looked on Yelp and saw this place and the good reviews and was close to the freeway offramp. The cashier was very friendly and kind, the menu had so many options it was hard to choose a perfect sandwich. I ordered the Chicken and Greens sandwich, it was sliced chicken meat, roasted red peppers, balsamic spread, goat cheese, greens and pesto, it was AMAZING! I do wish it would have come with a side or the cashier offered the combo deal cause it was tasty but I couldve enjoyed a few chips along the sandwich. The meat was extremely fresh, as well as the toppings on the sandwich. I would go back again for the sandwich or try other things, everything on the menu looked good. The store was cute, looked newer and there was some construction in the parking lot and nearby streets but hopefully that wont be for too long. They also have outside seating in case you want to bring your pup to come sit with you! read more

Their sandwiches are fantastic, but don't opt for the cauliflower flatbread. They pack so much into these sandwiches that the flatbread can't handle it, so you're paying extra for a flimsier sandwich. I've also had trouble getting all my points for my weekly purchases. Their system is confusing, and they were unresponsive after multiple attempts to fix it. That said, their sandwiches are all great. Go for soft rolls with the Bacon Went on a Date and add turkey. So good. read more

I will never go back to this location again. The workers in general have a negative attitude and think the customers owe them a medal for showing up to work. I placed a pick up order and put on the special instructions for the Mayo and Mustard to be on the side. Well, I got my sandwich and it was drenched in Mayo, something I wanted to avoid. I called them and the employee told me they could remake it. I threw the sandwich away and about 15 mins later got a call and was told that I had to bring the sandwich back. I told them I already tossed it in the garbage then the employee put his manager on the line and she was so RUDE and said that I need to bring it back ( I wasn't about to dig through the trash) and I said that the employee never said anything about bringing the sandwich back in the first conversation and he should have said something and expect me to still have it. And she said very unprofessionally, "well he didn't know." I told her that is a failure on the training and not the customer. She then said that next time I need to specifically write the word "everything" on the side instead of using commas as I did. This manager is absolutely disgusting and clearly has no basic customer service skills. This isn't the first time my pick up order has been destroyed. But the way that "manager" spoke to me and handledis why I will NEVER go there again and will tell all my coworkers to stay away. To the owner of this location: good Managers are hard to come by but you can absolutely do better then who was working on 10/13/21 @ 12:30 pm. She is horrible at her job and will continue to drive away customers with her terrible attitude. read more

Peebee & Jays - A disgusting Egg salad sandwich. - Sandwiches Near Me - Carpinteria, California

Their menu sounded good (love that they have a bunch of vegetarian options) and I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately what we got was not worth the price. My sandwich came with different ingredients than indicated (we got it to go so couldn't let them know), and both mine and my husband's sandwiches were quite dry as they used only the thinnest layer of spread possible. If you like a mouthful of next to nothing but spinach or arugula in every bite maybe this is the place for you. I'm sad to say the bag of chips was probably the best part of the meal. Quite disappointing! :( read more

Definitely more than pb&j on the menu. The build-your-own-sandwich option is almost overwhelming because it starts with a huge number of bread choices including gluten free and then you move through the list of add ons. There are also hot sandwiches, vegetarian sandwiches, and a wild variety of salads already concocted if you are having one of those indecisive days. Expect to pay quite a bit more than the Subway next door, but the sandwiches really are a full meal deal. Everything is fresh, and they seem small town friendly when I often stop in for the best deal in town-fresh brewed tropical iced tea for $1.50. read more

Good place to grab lunch! I was very impressed on how good the sandwiches were! Had the pastrami and home made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! The place is small with about 4 tables inside and 3 outside in the shopping strip area! There is a subway right next door but i would rather support the local business before a chain so give these guys a try! read more

Peebee & Jays - Pastrami! Very good!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Carpinteria, California

This is my go to place for sandwiches and salads when i needs a quick bite. They have a ton of options and you can order and pay online which is awesome when you're in a rush. You can also order ahead online which is great too. The staff is friendly every time. When I was pregnant and had awful morning sickness, the Jamie P's chicken salad sandwich was the only thing I could tolerate! It was a real lifesaver! read more

Great place for a sandwich! They have a wide variety of sandwiches and salads for all tastes, including a build-your-own option. I really like that they have so many different types of breads to choose from, including gluten-free bread options if you like! Also, the Spa Water is quite the refreshing treat. After trying a few different sandwiches, I've settled on The Turtle on focaccia as my favorite. My only complaints are that they don't take American Express and that there's no bathroom on site. Parking is a little limited in the shopping center but you can usually find it after hunting a second or two. read more

Passing through town on the way home from a short vacation, we needed a quick bite that wasn't fast food. A quick search on line turned up PeeBee and Jays. Went in just to check to see if they had GF bread before I ordered. They had 3 different options! (That never happens!) Our sandwiches were delish and the GF bread was so good, it seemed to be homemade. What a great find. read more

Great food and great service! The salads and sandwiches are delicious. Great place to stop for something yummy! My favorite is "Turkey and Brie" sandwich. Enjoy!0 read more

I loved the peanut butter and jelly sandwhich! Nice and fresh! No addictive crap in it. Homemade! Definitely a 5 star! And it's black owned! read more

We were stuck in traffic on our way to Pismo and decided to stop for a snack. We split the Bacon on a Date sandwich on ciabatta bread. It was AMAZING. The perfect amount of everything and the bacon was cooked perfectly crunchy. Thank god I don't know of a location by me or I'd weigh one million pounds. read more

I use the online ordering option every time I go, and it was working out for awhile. Most of the options are fine with the exception of the following: Do not pre-order hot sandwiches, as I have recently discovered the hard way that they will make it right when you place the order, and then leave it out for you to pick-up, even if you order for a scheduled pick-up time that's hours later. Frustrating because I ALWAYS leave the maximum tip available. I will no longer be doing that if I decide to go back at all. read more

We grab some sandwiches at this place on our way to the beach. The sandwiches were amazing! I got the turkey with Brie cheese. It was different than anything I have tasted in the past and I loved it! We also got the pastrami sandwich which is amazing. The sandwiches come with chips. read more

I'm pretty new with the vegetarian stuff, and it's hard to imagine a good vegetarian sandwich (in my mind), but I had the Carpinteria sandwich - and it was fabulous, I'm fantasizing about another one right now. They have about 10 different options for bread, I'm sure that helped a lot. read more

This is the best sandwich place in Carpinteria. I always get their turkey sandwich with cranberries and I add, avocado and bacon. It's right next to Subway which is hilarious because it's either get an processed meat sandwich or a fresh and professionally prepared sandwich. for basically the same price. read more

Excellent sandwiches! A wide variety of breads to choose from and the ingredients are super fresh. My daughter (who treated me) had a half sandwich and a salad - her order was fairly complex with many different ingredients (it was almost like an instruction for building a rocket), but they served it exactly as she requested... I just found an item that sounded good... and it was! I had the turkey on focaccia which had plentiful turkey, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato slices and ranch dressing. Very tasty and filling. The prices are in the $9 to $12 range, but for quality are a good deal. read more

I tried this little sandwich shop not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised. They have perfect roast beef, absolutely wonderful soup and a very friendly staff :) read more

very good sandwich place. I love the fresh bread and daily soup specials. They have a very clean setting and the sandwiches have tons of meat and cheese, very generous portions. Today i ordered the chicken cordon bleu on wheat sourdough and it was delicious. Could have used a bit more spicy mustard but overall was delicious! I love that I can order sandwiches online and have them ready when I want to pick them up. awesome! read more

Peebee & Jays - Awesome lunchtime sandwhich soup place. Very friendly staff - Sandwiches Near Me - Carpinteria, California

My hummus and veggie sandwich was fine, nothing exceptional. The "build your own sandwich" special includes one meat and one cheese. Well, I don't eat meat and cheese, so hummus and veggies it is, fine, but did they really have to charge me full price for that, PLUS dock me $1 for avocado that they forgot to add in? I'm not that price-sensitive, but my non-filling sandwich and chips (no drink) came out to $11.53 and I was hungry an hour later. Not going to repeat that mistake. read more

We were arguing whether we were going to break down and grab taco bell or taco bell on the way to San Louis to wine taste (we couldn't take it any more, we had to eat NOW) when I screeched loudly at the cutest little sammie spot I had ever seen. Peebee & Jays was adorable down to the brown and purple paint job on the walls and homemade soup made fresh from the cashier lady that day (chicken tarragon). We had the pastrami sammie, the vegetarian with hummus,avo,cheese, and a ton of fresh veggies and a almond butter, banana and honey sammie of course. The service was friendly and warm, the sandwiches were huge ( they let me get to halves instead of a whole) and we were so happy to grab a healthy meal along the 101 instead of taco bell...thought the boyfriend was a little sad, I know he was craving a grilled stuffed burrito. read more

Was in Santa Barbara for the Orchid Show this past weekend and stopped in Carpinteria on my way for a quick lunch. It was difficult to choose a sandwich as everything sounded delicious. I selected the Turkey & Brie and was not disappointed. The date jam was a perfect compliment to the brie; the turkey was moist and flavorful. I chose the focaccia bread and it was also impressive. I felt pretty hungry when I was there and got a side order of soup (vegetable lentil). Unfortunately the soup was a bit bland compared to the abundance of exciting flavors in the sandwich, but maybe it's not their priority. Friendly staff and ample tables. Sandwiches in the $8 range. Would recommend for sure if you're in the area! read more

Got the turkey sandwich that came with avocado and bacon and ranch. On the honey wheat bread. It was delicious. Service wasn't great, but I'll definitely be back. read more

My coworker just bought me lunch today from Peebee and Jays. It was THE BEST lunch I've ever had. We had the "Chicken dressed up like a salad" sandwich and it was so delish. Will be eating here often. read more

Extraordinarily creative sandwiches and salads. Much more then peanut butter and jelly but they do have that. Space is small but I never have gone without a seat. Ample vegetarian selections but plenty of meat also. Thumbs up. read more

Great sandwich shop in Carpenteria! It's very small, only 5 tables, but adorable. Simple food - sandwiches, salads, PB&J - but really well done. The ingredients are fresh and healthy, the bread (I had the focaccia) is delicious and the flavors are nicely layered and cohesive. Really great option for a quick, inexpensive, yet fresh and healthy bite. read more

I really like this place and the staff is really friendly, so why only 3 stars? The last few times I was there it took over 20 minutes for my lunch. so on my last visit, after waiting 20 minutes, I got my Italian hot sandwich it was burned (see pic). Now, I order, pay online and only order salads. read more

I was really excited to finally get to try out this sandwich shop. I ordered an egg salad sandwich on sour dough whole wheat bread which cost around $8.00 including the tax. The bread was stale and the egg salad was extremely runny with little taste. Also, there seemed to be no egg yolk in the salad. There were plenty of large pieces of egg white but the yolk was not there. The seasoning was bland and by the time I got back to work, (8 minutres later), the bread was soggy and the liquid had absorbed thru the outer wrapper causing a big mess! I took two bites and threw the rest away. Honestly I won't be going back. read more

I stopped in on a lazy Carpinteria afternoon expecting a PB&J for lunch. I was actually a little overwhelmed by the number of options and the extensive menu. Being as I was at a place called Peebee & Jays, I wanted to pick something from that section of the menu. I tried the PB, banana, and honey sandwich. It was much more filling than I expected, but at the end it was still just a peanut butter sandwich. I guess there's not all that much you can do to mix that up, and they do try with lots of options, but it wasn't anything mind blowing or spectacular. read more

This place is a jackpot! Gluten-free bread and Boars head meat! We found this place by accident on our way through town heading to San Luis Obispo from orange county. You must come by and have lunch. read more

First, their gluten-free rosemary bread is really good. This is major in my book. I'd basically stopped eating sandwiches since GF bread can be pretty sad, but then I had a sandwich on their bread and can now eat sandies whenever I want. I love their Bacon Went on a Date and any of their veggie sandwiches. They don't skimp on sandwich fillings which makes them pretty filling. I just wish they had more seating. read more

My family and I enjoyed our salads here (I got the Chicken Salad Salad and my mother built her own). We liked the sweet look of the place and the staff was very kind and efficient. Our meals were ready relatively quickly. I would definitely lean towards sandwiches here though as it seems to be more of a sandwich shop. read more
