I came here on a Monday around 4:30 PM, and there was only one other customer when I arrived. They have high-top seating indoors, or you can sit outside under a covered patio area. You place your order at the register, and they bring the food out to you. They also have complimentary self-serve water, which is a nice touch. Here's what I ordered: *Brisket Chimichurri: You get to choose which bread you want your sandwich served on, and I went with the rosemary garlic focaccia. It was absolutely delicious! They cut the sandwich in half, and the portion is definitely large enough to have leftovers. It was so good though that I ended up eating the entire thing in one sitting. *Broccoli Cheddar Soup: This was also delicious. Even though it was a hot day, I had no problem enjoying a bowl of it. It was creamy, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the sandwich. The service was great, and my food came out in less than 10 minutes. The prices are very reasonable considering the portion sizes, quality of the food, and the location. Overall, this is definitely a great spot for a casual, sit down lunch. Quick service, generous portions, good food, and a relaxed atmosphere. I'd definitely come back! read more

Quick Bites Cafe - Brisket Chimichurri & Broccoli Cheddar Soup - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

I work in the area and get the chance to stop by often for food, in the Little Italy area there is literally no better deal than Quick Bites and it hits the perfect casual vibe you can't get anywhere else. They made me my own custom version of their bagel blaster with the fiesty sauce instead of chipotle mayo - it's called The Michael Special - and I highly recommend it read more

Notice how they're handling the food without gloves in their primary photo? The cashier was handling and cutting my bagel yesterday without gloves like he thought it was the way people should do things. I got sick for the whole day after eating the bagel sandwich. Will never be back. Could it be the virus ? Could it be their poor food handling? I won't be back to find out *** in response to the owners comment. Check out the photos ...there is a worker in an apron displaying a bagel sandwich WITHOUT gloves. If the owner can't see these nuances, how can they be clean? WILL NEVER BE BACK TO THIS DIRTHOLE establishment *** to the owners second response. You are completely lying about the video. Let's review it together please DM me. When you don't DM me everybody will know you're lying because I saw what I saw *** responding back again bc this owner is stupid: Funny how the marketing photo showing an employee holding a ready to eat sandwich without gloves has now disappeared. You also claim your video completely clears your staff, yet when I asked to review that footage together, you immediately ended the conversation instead. If the evidence is as conclusive as you say, there should be no hesitation to show it. I stand by what I personally witnessed, and I'll let readers decide whose account is more credible. read more

I work nearby and this is my go-to lunch spot. The person who is always working there, who I'm assuming is the owner, is so kind. My favorite sandwiches include their brisket. So smoky and flavorful! read more

When businesses claim to have the "best" of something, I'm always a little skeptical. I took one bite and I get the hype. Wow, this was one of the best sandwiches I ever had! My husband and I stayed at a hotel nearby and needed a quick bite for lunch (get it?) The establishment is small, there is very little seating and some tables outside. My husband ordered the brisket chimichurri sandwich and it was bomb. I wanted a bit of spice and ordered the chipotle chicken sandwich. Absolutely amazing. I love the kick and I appreciate that the chicken breast was nice and moist - not dry at all! Both sandwiches had so much flavor. I was impressed. They also serve breakfast sandwiches all day! And offer smoothies, pastries, salads, and soups. I would highly recommend trying the sandwiches though! Did not disappoint. read more

I was in town for my BIL wedding at the courthouse a couple of blocks away and was really hangry for a bite to munch on and a cold drink to get some relief from the hot summer weather. Their menu is relatively simple and I selected their Feisty Chicken. I asked them to tone down the spice a lil and it was a definitely a good choice. Lots of flavor and i washed it down w an ice cold orange juice. Great service, friendly staff, and a cozy lil spot kinda hidden just on the outskirts of little Italy in San Diego. Only thing I could say they may try to improve on is maybe more seating but other than that, I'd definitely come here again. read more

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. read more

Best sandwiches in Little Italy! Quick to go service as well. It's a bit hard to find unless walking down the street, yet worth it!

My coworkers and I come here pretty often and we always have such a great experience! The girl and the guys working there are always so sweet, welcoming, and attentive. I got the chimichurri sandwich this time and absolutely loved it it was fresh, flavorful, and SO good. Great food and even better service. Definitely one of our go to lunch spots! read more

Turkey sandwich was lackluster. Mostly bread. Very little avocado and meat. Self service with pretty basic eating area. I would not return with all the good restaurants close by. read more

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. read more

I had a super yummy meal at Quick Bites!! The inside of the cafe is decorated really nicely, and the staff are super friendly. My sandwich tasted so good. I also had a peanut butter chocolate protein smoothie and it went perfect with my meal. I really love all the menu options but this is by far my favorite one since I like the spiciness. Definitely recommend!! Go now before Quick Bites goes viral! read more

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. read more

Truly some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The brisket chimichurri sandwich is perfection.

Very scrumptious sandwich! I order the Brisket Chimichurri on rosemary bread and it was the best sandwich I ever tasted. read more

Highly, highly recommend stopping here if you want to try some truly fantastic sandwiches - especially if you need to eat gluten free! I happened to find this place after I got stranded in San Diego due to a canceled flight. Nice little shop with friendly staff, a few tables outside the front. I got the brisket chimichurri sandwich on their gluten free focaccia bread - 10/10, one of the best gluten free sandwiches I'd ever eaten!!! So flavorful and well balanced, not heavy at all. The gluten free bread was spectacular. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll be sure to pay them another visit! read more

I was in the area and was craving a sandwich. I stopped here after looking at the good reviews. I ordered the brisket chimichurri and a lemon bar. The place is really cute and they have comfortable seating, it also looked very clean. The sandwich was very underwhelming, really nothing special honestly. The lemon bar was delicious. Customer service was average, nothing exceptional. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Quick Bites Cafe - Chipotle Chicken - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

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! read more

Great place food was delicious I had the Bacon Bagel Blaster and strawberry Matcha latte 10/10

Just went to Quick Bites Cafe and had a delicious breakfast sandwich. The bagel was soft and the flavor was delicious. Met Christian and Caden (brothers) who helped us. They were the two most polite young men I have met in a long time. They were attentive, conversational and all around great! We had a nice conversation with Christian and hope to be back to talk with him soon. Keep up the good work! We appreciate your service. . Tony & Lisa read more

We were dismissed for lunch while on jury duty and so I went for a stroll and got lost - yikes! But lucky for me I found one of the most delicious spots, in Little Italy, Quick Bites Cafe! It's a small cafe with some seating outside. I walked in to see what the menu looked liked. Was greeted with a huge smile and told what they offered. I decided to have the Turkey Deluxe on plain focaccia bread and BAM! My mouth was filled with explosive flavors. It had just the right amount of all ingredients! I left full and so happy with my choice. If you're in the area- you should totally swing by and give them a try. Definitely going back to try something different! read more

Easy spot for something quick and amazing to eat in the neighborhood. Great staff who is really friendly

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.

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. read more

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 ;) read more

I've had their coffee, today I finally got to try the chimichurri sandwich. It's every bite as good as it looks! There's a good amount of meat, a lot of flavorful chimichurri, and the focaccia.... Amazing. The only problem is it's so good I ate the whole thing when I meant to just have half! (And half would've been more than enough for lunch!) It was so good I've thought about it every day since. The owners also couldn't be nicer!
