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

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

While in Cambria, CA, taking in the sights and sounds, I heard good things about Linn's pies. And I…read moredo luv me some pie. So off we went to Linn's Easy As Pie Cafe. Just look for the building with the whimsical cartoonish pie statue out front. Darn cute! So many pie flavor choices. Slices, mini pies or whole pies. Sweet or savory. Plus the cafe menu includes sandwiches, wraps, panini's, salads, soup, stews, comfort food entrees, and hot dogs. The young man working the counter was fantastic. Sincerely friendly.welcoming, extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the menu. Provided great recommendations. We ordered a hot dog $10. All beef. It was split grilled served with side of potato salad. And a slice of olallieberry pie $7. The dog had a nice quality snap, good flavor. The potato salad for me was just ok. The pie was heavenly. Perfect thickness of crust; it was dense, flaky and tender all around yummy. My tastebuds were doing a happy dance! The cafe has a charming farmhouse interior. The cafe interior tables were fitted with plastic table cloths. Not a fan of those. The back patio was super cute. The area is compact. Gorgeous flowers and plants all lushly thriving and blooming. Whimsical metal sculpture art . Water fountains that gave off a calming trickling water sound. The windmill structure was pretty cool. Dual purpose of up cycle art and patio cover. Almost every table had a huge umbrella providing shade. Next to the back patio are the restrooms housed in its own stand alone building. Could use a refresh. There are a few spots in the car lot in the back. But the lot is tiny and hard to maneuver about for larger vehicles.

Food/Drink 4/5: Ordered the chicken pot pie, Ollalieberry pie, and Ollalieberry Lemonade. Their…read moredesserts are definitely what you should come here for as we were not super impressed by the chicken pot pie; its crust was pretty soggy without the flakiness I normally expect for this dish. The Ollalieberry items were both good (although again our pie crust was pretty soft) and if I were to return, these are what I'd come for. We also noticed that our $8 slice of pie looked smaller than the group in front of us as ours was to-go and theirs was eaten at the restaurant. Service 4/5: When I placed our order, I appreciated that I was asked if we wanted our dessert pie with our meal or to be delivered later. We originally had planned to eat on the patio as we had our dog with us, but halfway through the meal we had a few bees start circling that we could not seem to get rid of which is why we ended up getting our Ollalieberry pie to-go. The outdoor tables could also probably be cleaned a bit more regularly as well as we found some sticky spots when we sat down.

When she is not here, it is a different place. On slow weekdays the staff range from unfriendly to flat out rude, and they close early. Posted closing is 1 pm, but I have watched the closed sign go up at 12:30 and been turned away. The last excuse was a power outage. I live here. That outage lasted about ten minutes and had ended more than three hours earlier. And it is not just me. Last week I was in a coffee shop nearby, standing behind a woman who had come back to visit after moving away years ago. She had just walked out of Lily's five minutes earlier. She was telling her friend that it had always been her favorite place and that the owner was wonderful, but was shocked that the staff were nasty. She did not know I was listening and had no reason to say it except that it had just happened and she was upset about it because she was nostalgic and had been looking forward to going to her favorite place. If you show up in that last thirty minutes on a day that is not busy, you may find the door shut on you regardless of what the sign says. So go there when the owner is there or go more than thirty minutes before closing on days unlikely to be busy. Of course not all the staff are that unfriendly - The long term staff are friendly But too many aren't . They get laid off or quit them you get a new one with attitude . It's just I have bad luck showing up at wrong time.

Outdoor seating was also available. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We ordered a Caesar salad, a small sausage pizza, and one of Linn's pies. The portions were generous. After the salad, which was delicious, we couldn't finish the pizza and ended up taking a slice home -- and we tend to be big eaters. I really loved the pizza. The crust was chewy, not too thin but not too thick, and it had just the right amount of toppings. As we ate, I noticed that the table next to us had ordered a sandwich, and it looked delicious. I knew I would have to come back to try one. Sure enough, we went back the following day and ordered the Luigi's Special sandwich with fries, while my partner had the Chicken Club with onion rings.

The pizza came out hot and fresh. The crust was crispy yet soft and bready. It wasn't a thick pizza crust which I really appreciate. The cheese pull was memorable. The best I seen in awhile- and the best pizza we've had in awhile. It was so good and affordable that we came back another night to order some burgers to go. This place is solid. We would definitely return.

The restaurant is housed in an iconic brick building with an interior that resembles Grandma's charming country cottage. It's popular for tourists and locals alike so be prepared for a wait. Similar to a Southern Cracker-barrel, Linn's has a boutique at the entrance which is on the more curated side with visually indulgent cookbooks and tableware findings. Service is with a polite smile and efficient. I always seem to have a special order and this time I ordered their vegan tomato bisque with half vegetable panini and I subbed a roasted poblano pepper for the eggplant. The combo of the roasted veg and poblano pepper as the feature flavor in a grilled cheese on sourdough was outstanding!

They are made with delicious flaky melt in your mouth crust that surrounds the yummy filling inside the pie. My wife had the seafood pot pie ($28) which was so full of seafood (in a great, thick sauce) that the top crust of the pie was floated on all the ingredients, hovering over an inch above the sides of the pie. I had the chicken pot pie ($22) which only had a "normal" amount of tasty filling with large pieces of chicken in a thick sauce. Both were delicious! Remember the bakery case when you walk in? Don't forget to order dessert... We had the lemon meringue pie and also an Olallieberry Cream Puff ($10) . Both desserts were delicious and large sized. Yummy!
