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.

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.

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

I've been to Cayucos several times, but this was my first time trying the food at this restaurant…read more After checking out their website, I learned that they are known for their gluten-free dishes, organic ingredients, and specialty bioregional blue corn waffles. I was excited to finally give them a try. The restaurant was such a cute spot, beautifully decorated, with the cutest items for sale. The menu offered a variety of options, including waffles, tacos, bowls, and smoothies. We arrived before they opened, so we went for a walk to kill some time. When we circled back, the line was about 20 people deep! Thankfully, it moved quickly, and there was plenty of seating both inside and on their back patio overlooking the beach. You place your order at the window, and the food is brought right to your table. I ordered the Classic Waffles, served with grass-fed butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar. I also ordered the Plaskett Pork Taco, which featured scrambled eggs, Niman Ranch bacon ends, avocado, Hidden Kitchen sauce, and green salsa. Everything was delicious! The food was fresh and made to order. The waffles were a different color than your typical waffles because of the blue corn, but the flavor was spot-on. The Plaskett Pork Taco was served open-faced, with scrambled eggs on the bottom and all that delicious bacon, avocado, and sauce piled on top. Even the tortilla was made with blue corn as well. My friend ordered the Gorda Green Smoothie for us to share, and it was so refreshing and delicious. The serving was generous and definitely big enough to share. The glass was practically overflowing with goodness. The entire meal tasted fresh and clean. I didn't leave feeling weighed down by greasy or heavily processed food. I really appreciate the thought that goes into their ingredients, menu, and overall approach to serving organic, gluten-free options. The attention to detail was impressive, too. From the table numbers featuring a little quote on the bottom to the variety of salsas available to put on the side, every little touch added to the experience. They also have a self-serve water and coffee station, which is a nice bonus. Between the delicious blue corn waffles, flavorful taco, refreshing smoothie, and charming atmosphere, I'll be looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu items.

Pros: - Place is known for their creative savory and sweet…read morewaffles. To me and my group, the ultimate winner was actually the tacos! Made on homemade blue corn tortilla, it was light years ahead of the waffle. I recommend the Plaskett Pork as it has the most variety - Great selection of drinks for both coffee and non-coffee drinkers. There's a few morning cocktails as well (mimosa and bloody mary) - Great environment as it is by the ocean with a beach view. Really gets to the heart of what Cayucos is all about! Cons: - Open seating, so you could be in trouble if you can't find a table as there is no wait staff and only bus boys. - Not great for big groups as there is limited seating areas and they seem to run out of utensils at times - A bit on the pricer side given the lack of variety (if you don't like waffles or tacos then you will need to find a new place)! Overall, I would highly recommend HK to anyone who is passing through or staying in town. Great views and fantastic tacos made it worth while!

Theres also a really good restaurant there, Frankies n' Lolas. See my review. Anyways I'm waiting to pick up a ride, she bumped me to a later pick up time, twice...err. So I went into the Smoothies place to check it out, oh and write a review as I wait. Cozy as it gets with the friendly staff, actually looked like they enjoy the job and human interactions. I asked for a Mango something smoothie but no pineapple, be creative. The place has a good variety of drinks and edibles, sandwiches, salads, avocado toast, and on and on. If you don't see it they would probably make it for you. Now granted I was the only order being made at this moment and my smoothie was delivered to me as I sat at the bistro table out front. I was surprised how flavorful the smoothie was, I don't know why I thought that but it did taste good, a bit pricy. I'm good with pricy and this was backed up with quality ingredients and stellar service. Ah...yes and supporting local business is good for everyone Thanks, I'll see you again! Foodguy-Martin
