Short Review: Full-service deli with a great array of sandwiches, sides, smoothies and other options. Food is really good, and friendly service. Long Review: This place is a Main Street stalwart, and is located a Rios the street from the Shell station. A family-owned spot with really friendly service. It's so nice to see the same people each time you return, and they like seeing you too. They have a wide range of sandwiches, sides, salads, desserts, and smoothies. My favorites are the Hot Pastrami and the Turkey/Bacon/Avocado Club. Very consistently good each time I order. They are usually busy, so I may recommend calling ahead. Ample seating both inside out outdoors, and a great spot for groups. Give 'em a try! read more

My order was $20.15, I only had two $20 bills and asked if he needed to break my other $20 for .15 cents and he said YES!! Bad business!!! It was a sandwich and bag of chips. The sandwich came out too hot, like it had been microwaved !! Could barely finish it. We come to Cambria to visit my parents monthly and will not be returning to Sandy's and hope others find this review helpful. read more

Be sure to make this a stop while you're here! Great service, even better food! Cute shop with seating inside and outside, my favorite was the California Turkey! $13.50 The pepperoncinis made the sandwich, will definitely be back You can definitely share one sandwich, they're huge and great quality! read more

A perfectly adequate sandwich eaten on a very cute bench outside. I was a little disappointed there were no sourdough rolls available at the time (as it is the best bread for a sandwich), but overall a great sandwich. read more

After a busy morning visiting Hearst Castle, we worked up an appetite. I love supporting small businesses and my daughter pointed out Sandy's as we drove down the charming main street of Cambria. We parked a few blocks away and walked over where the patio was full of patrons enjoying a variety of sandwiches and salads. We decided to eat indoors in the diner which featured some fun 80s tunes along with house music I didn't expect but appreciated. We selected our sandwiches and were treated to some of the best sammies we've enjoyed while roadtripping. My BLT featured shredded lettuce instead of the iceberg leaf and was served on thick sourdough. It was a delicious and filling meal for the long drive ahead. read more

Time for an update! Sandy's Deli is just as fantastic as always. Every time I am in Cambria I make sure I grab a sandwich to go at least one time from Sandy's! My favorite is their build your own option - it is currently $12.25 and they are very generous in terms of not skimping on the meat/cheese. The ingredients are so fresh and the roast beef is nice and rare! Their smoothies are also fantastic! They can get busy at times so I recommend calling in your order ahead if you are pressed for time (sometimes you have to call a few times to get through). read more

We stopped by one morning during our stay in Cambria, mostly because we were visiting during the week and it seemed like one of the only places open. The scones were fine, service was indifferent, and the patio was a good option for us with our husky. read more

We were in Cambria and craving a deli sandwich. My husband had the Italian sub and I had the turkey cranberry sandwich. We both agreed that the turkey cranberry sandwich was superior. It was a really great sandwich. I also really enjoyed my iced coffee! It was surprisingly good. The service was easy. You order at the counter and they call your number. They only have one bathroom and we had to wait a really long time. Eventually I think we ended up just going somewhere else to use the restroom. read more

Everything we ordered was very good: Italian sub, tortilla soup, carrot cake, lemon cake, quiche.

The Godfather sandwich is so freaking good! It has all of the works of deli meats and has the perfect blend of pickled vegetables We took it to eat at Moonstone Park a few minutes away and even though we didn't it hot and fresh out the oven, it was still absolutely delicious. I'll be thinking of this sandwich forever Not to mention, the price was really good! Split the sandwich in half with a potato salad from the market and it was more than enough food read more

Wonderful place with delicious sandwiches! They have a restroom for customers that's nice, and the store itself is quaint and beautiful. Their menu design is lovely, readable and accessible. The interior has lots of comfortable seating. I adored the paintings they have displayed and the history of their store in family photos. The staff is nice, and you get good portion sizes for the sandwiches you purchase. They have options for my vegetarian and vegan friends as well which is always wonderful to see. They're also open to making custom orders, like my little sister was with me and she just wanted a grilled cheese, so they agreed to make it for her. Overall a good sandwich shop to visit when you're in the area! I would come back here again. read more

A really great garden salad, so fresh, healthy, with a variety of ingredients. I usually go to another place that I have enjoyed for years but because of too many sports programs on every available wall space I decided to give Sandy's a try! Quiet, pleasant, friendly, very welcoming! I will be back soon. read more

Stopped by Sandy's Deli & Bakery and enjoyed my BLT sandwich on sourdough with a crispy ice cold fountain soda. Charming indoor and outdoor seating available.

After a morning of poking around art galleries and pretending we understood abstract sculpture, hunger finally caught up with us. Yelp pointed us to Sandy's Deli & Bakery, boasting a respectable four-star rating - and as fate would have it, it was literally just across the street. Easy decision. Shop front - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&select=3vy51T9OK7D_55XbZIzL4g Sandy's is exactly what you'd hope for in a small-town deli: casual, friendly, and no-frills in the best way. The menu features a wide variety of sandwiches, soups, and baked goods - nothing overly fancy, just solid comfort food done right. I ordered the BLT with added cream cheese, and it hit the spot. Fresh bread, quality ingredients, and a generous portion. That said, the bacon felt more like crumbs than actual slices. AR went with the Big Air Avocado Sandwich, and after we swapped bites, I had to admit hers was the better pick. Big Sur Tuna Avocado Sandwich ($13) Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&select=nH8GF7CDhwazlbt_JQMFvA BLT w/added cream cheese ($15.50) Photo - https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=O6EBodP3Fgu_n67efSKnBQ&select=PiilZl50NeY9mnLMSdelfg Ice Tea ($3.25) Root Beer ($3.25) Service was quick and efficient. Seating is limited - just a few tables inside and a couple outside. We considered sitting outdoors, but it was slightly overcast and breezy, so we opted to stay warm inside. As we ate, there was a steady flow of patrons coming and going - it seems Sandy's is popular with the locals, not just passing tourists. Would I drive hours just to eat here? No. But if you're already in Cambria and want a reliable, satisfying lunch that doesn't feel like a tourist trap, Sandy's is a solid choice. The sandwiches were a bit on the pricey side, but that's expected in touristy towns - and let's be real, everything is more expensive these days. - Big Aloha Overall raiting: 3 1/2 Stars (Rounding up) Food: 4 Ambiance: 3 Service: 4 Value: 3 read more

The hot Sandwiches were tasty, fresh, and Big! Ample quality meats and toppings on fresh bread. Recommend you share a sandwich, or plan to take home the other half. My hubby had "The Godfather" sandwich minus the cheese and veggies. Great fresh bread to hold the hearty portion of meats. I had the Turkey, bacon, cheddar melt. I did swap out the croissant with sourdough. The sourdough slices were thick and toasty. Service was quick and friendly. We ate inside due to the chilly January day. Tables inside were clean and well stocked with napkins. Which you will need. We did not try the baked goods...we were stuffed!! Although, they did look good. read more

This is the second time in a row I have ordered a turkey club sandwich on a croissant instead of white bread, due to all the veggies causing the white bread to be soggy. Both times I have gotten home and found a soggy wet sandwich on white bread. I called this time to advise of the mistake and was told the order does not state croissant, so I must have not ordered it that way. I'm very disappointed in this sandwich and will not be back! read more

Food was great home made bread hit the spot. very friendly staff. Ambience was super chill and Super mellow. read more

We stopped in after hiking the moonstone beach boardwalk All the tables were dirty. I had to ask and then the woman wiped all the empty tables down. My daughter got in line to order for the 4 of us. 2 adults, 2 kids. The kids split a sandwich Amber, my daughter and I split one too. We had a club. I'm not a fan of French bread. It is tasteless and has a cake like texture. They do not have crusty wheat or sour dough rolls. Only French. The bread is made off site and delivered in a pickup truck. We saw the guy delivering it. Tray after tray. French rolls. The club was pretty good, but the cucumber threw it off for me. I took it out. They have kettle chips which are good. I like jalapeño. Ambiance feels like it used to be someone's home. Like small rooms with house windows. There's about 6 tables for 4 Personally o would not be tempted to return. I've had better sandwiches. I prefer jersey mikes. read more

Great sandwiches. They gave me the wrong soup but it was still delicious Small sandwich place in downtown Cambria read more

Man that tuna sandwich was totally unexpectedly good. They have carrots cut down to the size of pine nuts, which gives you the illusion that there are nuts in your tuna. I normally add curry to my tuna but this sandwich has totally inspired me to do better! Chai was also really good and perfect for a cold beach morning. I will be back if I find myself in the area again. Staff was super friendly too. read more

One of my favorite sandwiches on the central coast. I highly recommend the California Turkey. Always requested whenever we have family in town. What a great little place! read more

Maybe one of the best Italian subs I've had. I'm 62. It was busy. But there're very efficient. Was surprised how good the clam chowder was. I mean, it was really good. Great vibe. read more

Amazing sandwiches. My favorite is the Big Sur Tuna on a wonderful roll. The bear claw pastry was delightful as well. It's our lunch go to in Cambria. read more

This place is outstanding! I watched them cut the oranges in half and squeeze my OJ. Delish! The godfather Italian sandwich almost has too much meat! Prices are fair which is unusual in cambria where everything is at least 10% more than SoCal. Had nice scone, bear claw and fresh coffee. Place is great and the service and attitude were welcoming. read more

A gem that would be hard to find if you didn't know it was there. The menu is extensive and covers all of the usual deli-fare. Hot and cold sandwiches, soups, salads, and smoothies as well. I had the Italian Sub, and was not disappointed. The bread was soft, and it seemed like it was made in-house. The fresh combination of meats and fresh vegetables were well-balanced. and had me looking forward to the next bite. There is plenty of seating, inside and out, as well as an at-home feeling with quick, courteous service. I am already looking forward to my next visit. read more

Came into Cambria to get gas and saw that Sandy's Deli had some good review for some bakery items so we stopped by. The shop itself is so cute and love that it was easy to park right next to it. We walked in and took a look at their pasty case and decided on the cheesecake brownie but the sandwiches smelled so good that we ended up with a pastrami sandwich as well lol The cheesecake brownie was ok. Was a nice sweet chocolate treat. They toast their rolls fresh and absolutely stuff the sandwich with thinly sliced pastrami. The toasty roll complemented the hot pastrami and Swiss and the veggies and sauces worked really well together. The girl taking our order was friendly and did well considering it was pretty busy. The staff working on the sandwiches all seemed to be pretty happy too which added to the nice ambiance. Prices were reasonable and the location was convenient. Would recommend and would come back again. read more

I had a lovely experience here on the morning of July 4th. The cashier was very patient with me as I decided what I wanted to order and helped me decide between the Italian (cold) and the Godfather (hot). I chose the Italian, but customized it, because I'm a plain Jane lol and it hit the spot. The place was very clean and welcoming and the staff were very friendly. read more

The sandwiches are expensive, dry, and boring. Bread was stale and they put two pieces of bacon on a turkey bacon. Not worth it!! No wonder no one was there...I heard it used to be good. read more

The food was good, but the costumer service was awful. Bunch of teenagers acting like they were too good to work.

Nice service. Huge sandwiches. I had the perfect Italian sandwich The outdoor patio is nice. Food is fresh. We will return.

Sandy's is still knocking it out of the ball park when it comes to sandwiches. Today my wife had the Big Sur tuna as usual and I had the Italian sub. Both sandwiches were delicious and plentiful. We are regulars but for good reasons. Just take a look at these two sandwich creations. read more

This is a very popular to grab a sandwich, salad, burrito, and smoothies. The parking lot was very small, so we were lucky to even get a spot! There is indoor and outdoor tables. Signal was bad out here, but thankfully this business had Wi-Fi available. We had ordered chicken and pork burritos and mango smoothies. By the time we finished, we were so stuffed we didn't need another meal for the day. read more

Nice stop for a quick lunch. I've had several of their sandwiches, they're all really good. They are happy to adjust ingredients if you need that. The sandwiches are really big, so sharing is a nice option. During busy times there will be a line, so be patient. we live in the Parkhill neighborhood, so this is a super quick and convenient stop for us. read more
