    SAUSAGE EGG & CHEDDAR CHEESE
    Shan L.

    Definitely not quick but made with TLC and quality ingredients which likely contribute to not being quickly made. Great little breakfast joint in Little Italy if you're looking for a solid quality bagel breakfast sandwich or something breakfast and coffee related. There's really no seating other than the sidewalk tables so it's a very quick in and out place but good if you don't want to be at a long meal and looking to get something relatively "quick-ish" that isn't really quick but satisfying nonetheless if you can afford a little more time in exchange for quality.

    opped in here for a quick breakfast but unfortunately it took forever to get our orders. Very misleading name. There is only one little oven so orders were jammed up. My breakfast sandwich was very good once I got it but we waited almost half an hour for it. So if you're in a hurry, don't stop here if your in a hurry. The focaccia bread was delicious. It's a small shop with some a few counter seating inside and a few small tables out front.

    Stopped by to celebrate their 1 year anniversary. The staff were super sweet and welcoming. The owners were greeting everyone, and it was nice to chat with them. They offer a variety of things from coffee, to smoothies to sandwiches and desserts. My friend raved about how the breakfast sandwich was delicious. They had offered samples of a chicken sandwich which was really good and the brownie was rich decadent. They have a small seating area inside, but also offer a few tables outside if you'd like to stay and eat. I will definitely be stopping by here again, when I'm in the area.

    10/10!! Great service and the food was DELICIOUS!! We got their Supreme Protein smoothy, Bagel and Cream cheese, and Chipotle chicken sandwich! Everything was perfect! The focaccia options all look so good! The employees were also really nice and helpful! Coming back here again!

    Quick Bites Cafe is part of a set of businesses in a corner complex in the heart of Little Italy. They have been open for less than a week. Several tables were out front on the sidewalk to complement the countertop seating inside that had four high-top chairs. The menu board listed four breakfast items, five sandwiches, four salads, smoothies, and hot/cold drinks. On display in a glass case at the service counter were some baked goods. The cashier (owner?) offered a sample of the passionfruit juice that was in a carafe next to the orange juice while I placed my order. The juice was quite refreshing. I picked The Turkey Deluxe to-go which was made up of sliced turkey, bacon, avocado, roma tomato, lettuce, mayo, salt & pepper, and pepper jack cheese. The components were served on focaccia bread. I also received a portion of the Chipotle Chicken sandwich as a freebie. The service was terrific as evident by the complimentary samples. The owner answered my questions and also asked some of his own. My only nitpick was that the bread seemed harder than I have experienced with focaccia. Otherwise, the sandwich tasted very good, and my visit to Quick Bites Cafe was pleasant to the point that I rounded up to five stars.

    First time here as I tried to venture out from my lunch norm. They have a variety of sandwiches. I ordered the club sandwich which was good. It was fresh. It was a bit on the heavy side for lunch though. Prices are slightly pricey however keep in mind you're in Little Italy. I'll probably go back and try something else. I really wanted coffee but I opted out. Perhaps next time I come back I'll get more than just a sandwich. Staff was nice and welcoming. I ordered via phone, picked up my sandwich and ate it inside on the side counter.

    Huge fan of quick bites! Food is delicious especially the foccacia they put their sandwiches on. I'd really like to highlight the incredible service though, one of the staff noticed my sandwich was lacking avocado while he was cleaning the table next to mine and immediately had them remake and let me keep the one I already had for free. Grade A service that I rarely see anymore. I'll definitely be back since it is such a great location in the heart of Little Italy.

    Turkey Deluxe

    This newish sandwich shop opened in January, and we're so happy to have it in the neighborhood! Little Italy definitely needed a solid sandwich spot. They offer both breakfast and lunch options, and everything we've tried so far has been fresh and tasty. For most of the sandwiches, they give you a few bread options to choose from and the rosemary garlic is especially good--definitely recommend! The owner is very friendly and you can tell puts his heart into making the very best sandwiches for his customers. With that said, it can get a little backed up if busy, but I promise it's worth the wait. There is an option to order online and pick-up in store from their website for those that don't want to risk waiting. A great new addition to the area that we'll be coming back to regularly. If you're in Little Italy and craving a good sandwich, this place is worth checking out!

    Too much mayo and hard as a rock

    How this place is so well reviewed is beyond me. This was about the worst sandwich I've ever had. Ordered the turkey sandwich. They completely over toasted the bread-so much that it is almost rock hard. See pics. Way too much mayo and then to top it off NO NAPKINS in bag on a to go phone in. Now I'm on a train ride hands covered in mayo. Count me out on this one ;)

    Brisket Chimichurri

    Usually we try to go to places with more reviews but the reviews this place did have made it seem solid so we gave it a shot while we were in SD. The food and service were truly 10/10. I would have eaten this every morning for breakfast. We ordered the Bacon Bagel Blaster and the Brisket Chimichurri. The focaccia bread for the Brisket Chimichurri is some of the best focaccia I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend.

    Sadly I found Quick Bites Cafe hours before leaving SD so I was only able to try their Chimichurri Brisket sandwich on the Rosemary bread thank you Jr for the bread recommendation. This sandwich blew my mind it was so delicious. Looking forward to coming back here on my next visit so I can try one of their Bagel Blasters. If you live in SD or coming to visit don't sleep on this place

    The inside area is amazing!
    Silvia R.

    Came for the grand opening and it blew all my expectations!! It's such a needed place here in little Italy for a quick bite when you're in the neighborhood. I got the brisket sandwich and omygoodness was it bomb.com!! Plus the service was so helpful and nice. Overall recommend it to everyone and anyone in the area. A plus is that it's super pretty inside and plays good music!

    I got the brisket chimichurri sandwich on the rosemary garlic focaccia bread and it was absolutely amazing. I called in my order over the phone and it was ready when I got there. The people working there were friendly as well. I can't wait to try more of the sandwiches here.. especially the breakfast ones.

    This place is one of the top 5 best sandwich shops in San Diego hands down. They also serve salads,…read moresoups, and some awesome sides. I heard they're going to start serving beer and wine soon as well! *Best 1st-timer options*: The Keeper (if you like it spicy) or the L.G.B.T. My favorite hot sandwiches are the Cali Cubano, B3, and The Keeper, while my favorite cold sandwiches are the Avocado Highway, L.G.B.T. (lettuce, gouda, bacon, tomato), and Caprese. My favorite salads are the Grapevine and Duck Cranberry. For sides I recommend the potato salad and tomato basil bisque. The aioli they use is to die for -- can't hurt to get a side of it with any sandwich! The restaurant is situated on the corner of Park Blvd. and Polk Ave. (more generally, it's on the strip of Park Blvd. between University Ave. and El Cajon Blvd.). There is usually a good amount of parking on Park Blvd. and Polk Ave., which is nice. The space has a simple-yet-tasteful modern design and interior, is always clean, with friendly and helpful staff. Great for lunch hour or a weekend date. Update: Came back today with my friend and we ordered the B3 and the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwiches, plus sides of potato salad and cucumber salad, and a double chocolate cookie with pistachio and sea salt. Everything was really good, but the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwich was the star of the show. The cookie was great too. We both agreed the potato salad could use some salt, but besides that it was a solid meal all around.

    Big Front Door has quickly become a new favorite for sandwiches, and visiting two days in a row…read moremade that very clear. On the first visit, Zack provided exceptional care and attention while helping navigate food allergies. Zack took the time to carefully check ingredients, double-check preparations, and personally come back out to verify everything to ensure safety. That level of care made the experience feel genuinely welcoming and stress-free. The chicken sandwich was fresh, satisfying, and thoughtfully balanced. Juicy chicken, ripe tomatoes, creamy avocado, and a bright splash of oil and vinegar came together beautifully on Big Front Door's roll, which had a great texture and held everything together well. The flavors were clean and vibrant. A little extra salt would have pushed it over the top for a salt-lover, but that came down to personal preference rather than any shortcoming. A dining companion ordered the avocado sandwich and could not stop raving about it, praising both the flavor and the freshness. The outdoor seating area deserves special mention. The shaded space was perfect as I do have sun allergies, especially for anyone who prefers relief from direct sun. The care taken in food preparation added an extra layer of comfort and trust. The second visit somehow raised the bar even higher. Micah went above and beyond to accommodate physical ability needs with patience, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. That effort did not go unnoticed and made the experience feel deeply respectful and inclusive. The roasted chicken sandwich ordered on the second visit was phenomenal. The roasted chicken was tender, savory, and full of depth, elevating the sandwich even further. Adding a bit of extra salt brought all the ingredients into perfect harmony, making every bite more satisfying than the last. This sandwich has officially earned a spot as a new favorite sandwich. Big Front Door was amazing not just for delicious, thoughtfully prepared food, but for the people who work there. Zack and Micah created an environment where care, kindness, and respect were clearly prioritized. No moment felt rushed, dismissive, or uncomfortable. At no point did anyone make the experience feel like a burden or inconvenience. A sincere thank-you also goes to the team members who prepared the food. Even without knowing names, the care taken to keep guests safer while serving delicious nourishment was evident and deeply appreciated. Big Front Door comes highly recommended for the flavorful sandwiches, the shaded outdoor space, the welcoming atmosphere, outstanding customer service, and the genuine kindness shown at every action.

I still try to stop by every few months as this place holds a special place in my heart. A no frills spot. Solid and consistent. To the point but friendly customer service. Fantastic drink, chip and snack selection. Sandwiches are always bomb asf. The hot momma and BLT loaded up is my favorite. My husband still loves their Ruben (it is his favorite place to get it.) You get a small potato or macaroni salad on the side with a pickle (perfect crunch.) I personally think it's a great little add on. Their chili is also simple but delicious. I personally think their chili pairs perfectly with any of their sandwiches. It's not a heavy thick chili. Which is why I think it pairs so well. I won't lie it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It's loaded up and good quality. I never feel gross or overly bloated after eating here. I will be coming back to Fatboy's until I move out of San Diego or die. lol. One of my favorite gems in SD. Always will be worth the drive or walk. Thank you for always delivering even years later.

They have signs that say 'order' and 'pick up'. Each sandwich comes with a pickle and either Mac salad or potato salad. This is a grab and go place, small exterior seating. Was quoted 15 mins but it was done in about 5. Lots of interesting chip and drink flavors sold here. Tried: North Park Club on sourdough $15.99 - the sourdough was amazing. Get it toasted! Brought the sandwich home and it was still good and not soggy. Pickle spear was good. Can't rate the potato salad cus I'm not really a fan but it was a little crunchy. This is a must try. Avoid other deli's in north park area. This one was less expensive and tasted better! I'll be back.

I mean just look at the pictures and tell me your mouth isn't drooling for some of that. One bite and it was so fresh, so tasty, so juicy, so amazing. Absolutely stunning and delicious. If you love a good cheese cheesy cheesesteak then I highly recommend you get the Cheez Wiz because that one was SO gooey and cheesy just the perfect amount. Now I always know that fries are never the best to go but this place wrapped their fries up like a sandwich which was the first I've ever seen and did it work. They didn't come out soggy at all. Such a nice touch that every restaurant needs to be apart of. The cheese dipping sauce was KILLER. Everything about this just makes you want to rub your belly, gorge, and eat while enjoying some World Cup matches which is exactly what happened. Absolutely amazed by Gaglione and shoutout to whoever gave us an extra fry too, I salute to you! Best, TBG (The Big Gorger)

The Meatball Sandwich is an absolute must-try packed with flavor and perfectly made. The Signature Sandwich was another standout because it's something different from your typical Italian sandwich. It had its own unique flavor that really sets it apart. I didn't get a chance to try the pizza this visit, but if the sandwiches are any indication, I already know I'll be back for it soon. The only small downside is that the parking lot is a little tight, especially during busy hours, but it's well worth the minor inconvenience. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations. Great food, friendly service, fair prices, and a unique setup that makes you want to keep coming back. This has definitely earned a spot on my regular rotation. Highly recommend!
