BLT - great choice
Sandra P.

Can't believe a sandwich can taste this good! Especially in the morning. Stopped by on a whim and we ended up having a BLT and a turkey croissant- so good! It was the exact comfort beach meal that satisfies every time! Check them out!

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).

Small sandwich, not even a pickle.

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.

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.

BLT

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.

Turkey cranberry sandwich

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.

Quick service grab and go sandwich spot in Cambria. Some nice patio seating if you wanted to sit outside and enjoy your food. Ingredients were fresh and everything was made well! Great value for portions as well!

Turkey sandwich
Maggie M.

New to Cambria and looking for some great sandwiches. Visited Sandy's Deli and got ourselves two sandwiches - turkey sandwich & Italian sandwich. Turkey sandwich was very filling with plenty of meat, cheese & fresh cucumbers. Italian sandwich included black olives and peppercini's. They even have desserts. Had ourselves a slice of carrot cake. Yummy! Would definitely recommend trying Sandy's next time you visit Cambria.

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.

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. A popular small spot but I did not wait long for my food. Service was friendly. A great stop for affordable and casual food in the area!

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

Not far off from the 101 Freeway at Marsh Street exit, easy to get to. Great little place with plenty of history and old school charm, you can see and taste the SLO culture and vibe. Staff were very friendly and happy, outdoor dining or take out and reasonably priced. So excited to dig into my sanqweech I forgot to take a pic, all I can tell you was tutti delizioso! Had the Danish Crunch roll filled with turkey, provolone and "The Works". Bread was very fresh, plenty of meat and crispy fresh vegetables to complement the great flavors of the bread. You can build your own or pick a variety of house favorites freshly made to your liking. I definitely recommend High Street Deli, great small business with an amazing staff continuing the local history. We will be back to explore the menu further and take in more of the great vibe.

As a sandwich fiend, I knew I had to stop by High Street when a good friend from SLO recommended…read moreit. We got there peak lunch time so it was busy indoors and out. We still managed to find patio seating with enough space for our stroller. Both of our sandwiches tasted very fresh and the bread was crunchy AND soft. You can order one of their sandwiches, or build your own. There's also a little fridge section where you pick up already made ones. There's also merch, chips and drinks inside. Street parking, may have to walk a bit but even during rush hour it wasn't too bad for us. Glad we got to try it out when we were in the area!

Just stopped in on a Friday night and sat at the bar - at first glance it looks like a cluster so…read moreI'll will write the review as things progress. - cute and very busy pub / restaurant - there are only 2 servers and so far they are as attentive as possible for sure, both ladies are hustling with a smile. - We have watched 2 parties of 4 walk out. - We got our drinks right away and only waited a few minutes to get our order in. - While we waited I saw. (2 ) available 4- top tables open, but a party of 6 was told 30 minute wait. They declined and left. - A person came in asking for take out only to be told they were "inundated and not taking take out orders at this time." So far this is a management issue - these ladies were giving and needed 1 more server to keep them caught up- lots of business waking out the door due to poor scheduling- what a shame. One person behind the bar and 2 dining room servers would make this successful. It's too easy. - Food came out in a timely manner. Gary's pasta - 10/10 Clam chowder - 10/10 definitely homemade. My wedge- a little pricey but 8/10 only because the dressing came out clearly of a jar and no blue cheese crumbles. (Little things make a huge difference) - Moscow Marlin drink 10/10 - Another walk out. Lots of empty glasses at the bar. Would we come back? Only with these 2 servers. ( I think we got lucky) Definitely not on a Friday and If it's this much of a mess on a Friday, I can only imagine what a Saturday would look like. Cute place with amazing clam chowder and pasta.

I have to say I was a little bit disappointed this time. I had a Reuben sandwich with onion rings…read more The pastrami was really tough, like you would take a bite, but you couldn't bite through it and so the whole piece of pastrami came out of the sandwich at once. And the onion rings were pretty boring. I don't think they make them there, I am not sure about that, though. But they had kind of a generic look and feel to them, but the problem was they had zero flavor. Like nobody put salt on them when they took them out of the fryer. That's the first thing you do when you pull something out of a fryer, you season it. The server was nice enough, but they have a thing now where if you ask for water, they want to sell you a bottle of water. I get that things are tough for restaurants, but I almost rather pay a little more for the sandwich and get water, if you know what I mean. I'm no food expert, or running a restaurant expert, these are just my reactions as a local who stops in here fairly regularly. I think if the folks who run this place feel like there's any value to my little thoughts, they would be easy to fix and wouldn't cost anything at all really. I've been coming here for years, and I want these folks to do well.

I've been coming up to Cambria for the past few years with my pup over the 4th of July weekend…read more Always searching for places with a nice outside patio to bring my pup and also that has great eats. Glad I found Indigo Moon. The outdoor patio is quite large and has a nice ambiance for al fresco dining with your pup. I had the Faroe Island Salmon served with broccoli and cauliflower with brown & wild rice. The salmon was one of the best salmons I've had. I usually don't eat the skin, but this skin was crisp and the salmon was cooked perfectly. If you love salmon, this is a must. My friend had a chicken pasta and also loved their main dish. We were too full to have dessert. Next time. Service was nice and attentive. My pup also loved the patio and loved the fresh bowl of water. I'll definitely be back next trip to Cambria.

The location and building are quaint and charming, with a wide variety of indoor dining spaces,…read morecovered patio and pet friendly garden patio. The host and our server Elin were friendly, helpful and attentive. The food, however, was mostly underwhelming. * Crab Cakes -- Too much filler for me, and not much crab to the taste. The chili lime sauce was not the best looking accompaniment either. Not sure why this appears to be such a popular item. * Salmon Tacos -- Dry rub salmon chunks with chili lime mayo, shredded cabbage, mango salsa and black beans. Salmon was fresh enough, but a bit heavy on the dry rub seasoning. The mango salsa was nice. The side black beans had too much salt and cummin for my taste. * Flat Iron Steak -- It was rather average. Not the most tender or juicy skirt steak. Normally served with mashed potato and veggies, but they allowed us to sub mash potatoes for creamy polenta which was nice. I have to say we were expecting more from Indigo Moon based on the other reviews. Overall, the food was just ok...like a longtime neighborhood cafe you'd like to support, but don't expect super fine dining.
