The sandwiches are god tier in the most sincere way. Perfect bread. Balanced fillings. Nothing flashy, nothing trying to prove a point. Just food that understands its job is to take care of you for a few minutes. Every bite feels grounding, like being reminded that simple things can still be perfect. But what really gets you is the feeling. Speer's doesn't feel transactional. It feels human. Familiar. Like a place that's been there longer than you realized and will still be there when you need it again. The kind of spot where the food tastes better because you can tell the people making it care, even if they never say it out loud. I've eaten a lot of meals in my life. Most of them disappear from memory. Speer's sticks. Because sometimes a sandwich doesn't just fill you up. Sometimes it keeps you going. And that's not something you forget. read more

Fantastic Tri tip sandwich! Make sure you understand you have to fill out the order form. Do some shopping while you out and enjoy the funky river vibes. read more

Stopped by Speer's Market while in Guerneville and grabbed a veggie sandwich, some chips, and ollipops. Prices were on the higher side, but honestly, that makes sense given you're in the middle of nowhere. The sandwich took a little longer than expected, but it was so worth it--they really layered and stuffed it up with goodies. Definitely not a skimpy sandwich! We took ours down to the river and it was perfect for that kind of day. The market has those cute small-town vibes, with locals chatting up the staff, and the service was super friendly. The only downside was no bathroom (kind of a bummer but understandable for a market like this). Overall, really glad we stopped in--great sandwich spot with that charming, local feel. read more

I've been stopping at this market every time I come in to the Russian River Valley for 20+ yrs. The deli counter is most popular as many grab a sandwich for their River float which starts just a tiny walk away at Steelhead Beach. Also a hit for softball teams playing at the Youth Park or over at El Molino HS. You often will see them grilling the trip tip out front for their sandwich special. Lots of wine snack options like cheeses and meats. Decent selection of fresh produce and nuts. They always surprise me with something local like jams, eggs or baked items so I walk all the aisles to see what is new. They really do have everything if you're dining in while on vacation. Also a perfect place to pick up forgotten items like sunscreen and sunglasses. In an area where shopping is sparse they are an absolute gem. read more

I got home with a to-go sandwich order and 2/3 of the order was wrong. I ordered a pepper turkey and pepper jack cheese sandwich on a Dutch crunch roll with all the trimmings. Plain turkey (what appears to be one slice), no cheese. $11.99 for a meager, wrong sandwich. I won't be back. read more

Shot in the dark hunting to try a new sandwich shop and this little market was busy at the deli counter with 4 ladies making sandwiches for the lunch rush. There was quite a wait (15 people in front of us) and more coming in after. Hubby got the pastrami I got a veggie (no olives), sub lettuce for sprouts, add turkey with smoked cheddar on rye. This sandwich was loaded with everything!! Veggies crisp, good quality meat ... next time I'll get on a roll. Hubby loved the Ruben - he highly recommends, but wants to try something else next time. Gentleman at register super friendly and pleasant. We did get the potato salad ($10lb) it's made in house but very bland. Would skip this. read more

Food quality was worth the price! It's worth checking out! Its near River Road! Parking is pretty good, usually!

The sandwiches at the deli here were exactly what we wanted! and priced just fine. We'd stopped at someplace deli-ish in Guerneville first that had nothing but pre-designed gourmet options (and no pricing info on their menu, who does that?) -- but my husband and I really just wanted a pure deli sandwich where we could say exactly what we wanted on it. Thankfully, we found Speer's. These were great. Bread was fresh (oh how I love a place with light rye!), as were all the ingredients. Stopped back in later after a walk for an Its-It. Friendly staff. I'd go back anytime we're in the area. read more

This review is only for the deli counter which was fantastic, as were all the friendly ladies making our sandwiches. I wish I'd taken a picture of my gigantic veggie sandwich. It was a thing of love and beauty with great Dutch crunch bread, ample avocado and all the rest. You'll just have to trust me on that because after cradling it like a baby, it went into the cooler and was eaten at our lunch stop along the river. Half a sandwich was plenty, so consider sharing if you can agree on the same thing. The rest of the market may have been great, or not. The only annoying thing was that they wouldn't let me use their restroom after 75 minutes in the car drinking my coffee. Just a warning though, since I already said this was just a review for the deli counter and the lovely ladies who created a masterpiece for my lunch. read more

Sandwich that I got was delicious and fulfilling !! Customer service was great! A great clean market!

My sandwich was fantastic! Very customizable, fresh deli meat, lots of bread options. Perfect pre-river float sammich. Will be back!

All of the sandwiches we tried were good. They are pretty large in size and full of toppings. The meatball sandwiches includes giant meatballs and a hard sourdough bread held up well soaking in all the marinara. I thought about using a soft roll but considering the size of the meatballs, I'm glad I picked the sourdough. read more

Rode bikes with a group of friends on 6/23/24. 3 of them went inside to get sandwiches at the deli and it took them 45 minutes to make 3 sandwiches... now make that make sense. read more

We found the perfect Deli! This Deli find is located at the crossing of Mirabel and Trenton roads in -Forestville -cleverly located in the heart of the Russian River wine country. We stopped in on our way to the coast! So impressed with the selections-Fresh Homemade soups, Potato and Macaroni salads, and various side delights. However, and most importantly -this deli has an impressive array of specialty sandwiches . We ordered both the famed Reuben pastrami and turkey sandwiches on sourdough bread and the orzo and cold slaw side salads. All absolutely delicious! Atmosphere bestows a welcoming relaxed country vibe. Note: Fabulous find for just about anything you need in a deli and grocery store. read more

I've lived in Forestville for 40 years, and Speer's has always been our family's Go To Market, no matter WHO HAS OWNED IT ! Fresh produce, awesome service with a smile and a great variety of what I need. Don't let poor reviews sway you, this is one of the HUBS in Forestville, where kids can park their bikes safely in front on the doors to get ice cream and are welcomed, or someone with a disability gets door to car /bus/etc. service. read more

Great local grocery with an absolutely amazing deli. Whenever I'm in town I stop by and get a Sammie. Great customer service. Always give your dollars to the mom and pop shops especially when they are as wonderful as Speer's. You won't regret it! read more

Sandwiches were delicious! Highly recommend to get food here if you're driving through town!

Veggies Sandwich on rye bread with no mayo. $10.49 Next time I'll loose the picked too. As you can see for the picture this sandwich could easily be split between two people for a lunch. read more

We had a nice experience at Speer's! My husband and I got some turkey sandwich's and they were huge! Big enough to have a half for lunch a half for dinner! Thanks, we will be coming back if in the area! read more

We're new to the area :) I've heard a couple people say how great the deli sandwich's are and that they're the best in the area. Today we decided to try it. My $11 Rueben sandwich was far less impressive as a sandwich I could make at home. My fiancé was so shocked when she picked it up, she took and sent a photo to me to prepare me for the reality. Disappointing. See photos. This was a Rueben sandwich! Perhaps they didn't think we're locals? Not sure ... :( Regardless, it's too bad there's not an effort to keep a pretty good reputation from years past. read more

Grab a couple sandwiches before kayaking down the Russian River. They were yummy, fresh and gigantic. A fantastic local market.

A great little local market either for the deli counter or if you're missing some cocktail ingredients or a piece of produce for dinner that night on the way back home. There's something positive to say about pretty much every part of the store even from a non-resident - the sandwiches are very good, as are the house-made cold salads (the macaroni salad is a favorite), they have nice local produce, with me recognizing stuff like the organic daikons as seemingly being the same crop sold at farmer's markets in the county, and they have a pretty nice selection of essentials, although at the usual small-town market markup. They also have much better meats than even big chains like Safeway, with their seafood and beef being decent quality stuff. While you'll pay a little more for it, there's not much day-to-day grocery wise you can't pick up here, but it's worth stopping in just for a ham sandwich or a breakfast burrito if you're hungry. read more

First off-im forestville local... Been going to speers for 14 years. The new owners are absolutely blessed. They are making this market so so so much more evolved. I have child.,.. and the produce is super important to me... They are getting that covered and from wine to meats and dry goods to dog food!!! I am so happy this place is independent and right In town. Its a total total stop by after work and just a special spot for the local forestvillieans! Prices r tuff these days but i can honestly say they are doing the best they can for families.... Great deli as well.... Super sammies and prepared food. Lov it! Absolutely over the top staff and kind faces, local people and great employees. read more

We were lucky enough to be able to get lunch around 2PM on a weekend that started out with a rainy morning. When we phoned initially at 12:45, the place was slammed and there was a 20-minute wait to get sandwiches made at the deli counter. When we phoned again one hour later, everything had quieted down. Good timing: the finishing touches were being put on both just as we arrived. For $10.99, you get a heck of a lot of sandwich. (I ordered the Italian, with everything on it.) Although I consider myself to be a member of the Clean Plate Club, I was able to eat only half of my sando during what I considered to be the tail end of my lunchtime. (I saved the other half for a late-afternoon snack after I returned home.) And the sandwich was very tasty -- let's not forget that! The quality/price and quantity/price ratios at Speer's are both exceptionally high. Frankly, I would have been a lot happier if Speer's had had some picnic tables near the store and a working restroom on the property. Because neither condition was satisfied, you can consider my 5-star rating to have been rounded up from 4 1/2 stars. read more

Great market for getting thins you need, a bit more expensive than an average large grocery store but worth it for the convenience. They have good produce and many organic options. read more

We brought back a corked bottle of wine, and the owner, Sahaj, allowed us to exchange it, no questions asked.

Great sandwiches and meat section where you can buy food on the way to your AirBnB at the coast and not get price-gouged by the restaurants in this little town. read more

Love the new owners and what they are doing for an already great small market...wonderful spot.

They Used to make the best sandwiches before the new owner took over I hope they bounce back

The market has a good selection, including vegan products. Their deli sandwiches use good produce and they offer a lot of customizations and bread options. Everyone in our group loved their Speer veggie sandwich and they were able to make a very tasty vegan sandwich with oil and vinegar and other fixings. read more

Great selection of delicious sandwiches. Also good sides. Great for trips on the river.

Best sandwiches in Sonoma County! Hands down. I always get Turkey but tried The Roast Beef and found a new favorite. Perfectly cooked not dried up and full of flavor! read more

I'm really here to write a review for the deli, but I'll add in a bit about the store as a whole at the end. This is my favorite place out of all the delis in the nearby towns to get a sandwich. Most other places are hit or miss, but this place has showed a lot of consistency! The deli has a bunch of different options for things to put on a sandwich. Great for stopping on the way to the beach! The produce department is nice, 98% organic last I checked, which is very much appreciated. The grocery and chill depts confuses me a bit. There is a decent selection, but they also have a lot of obscure specialty items that take up valuable real estate on the shelf in my opinion. I work in a grocery store, and every time I go in there I am overcome with a desire to overhaul these departments. Overall, its a nice little store and I hope it continues to serve our community and that they will flourish in the future. :) read more

This is the BEST deli around...we come in at least once a week now. Meatball, chicken, BBQ all great!

I have lived in Sonoma County for a very long time. I've am very familiar with Speers market. I've traveled around the country and moved around Sonoma County and lived in various cities in the area. Now I am living in Forestville. This is the closest place to my house. We love the food from the deli. They make great sandwiches. And the grocery store carries a lot of different items. Maybe they're a little more expensive than Safeway but there's a reason for that they're out in the middle of nowhere and it probably costs them more to buy the stuff and to sell it. They are very nice people and very accommodating. And it feels good to call this my corner store. Again the deli makes great sandwiches and they go out of their way to make you happy. We also love all the salads, egg salad, potato salad, pasta salad, coleslaw, etc. read more
