I've been eating here since the mid 1990s, happy its still here!F riendly faces, zero ambience, but you're here for the food and affordable prices. In 1996, I was making $4.75/hour California minimum wage. In 2026, its now $17, or even $20 for fast food workings. The fresh, hot, crispy, and toasted sandwiches are always a "Delite"! Prices have increased over the years, but not offensively. My recent Assorted Delite "half" sandwich was $11.50 but still as big and ginormous as I last remembered and plenty of food for one big person like myself. The fresh rolls is toasted perfectly, not burnt, the inner white bread stays fluffy and doughy. There is enough ham, pastrami, and salami proteins to keep you satisfied, and just the right amount lettuce, tomato, and onion. The ingredients are nothing exotic, but somehow this magical delicious combination can't seem to be replicated anywhere else in the world except humble, dull, sleepy Novato California. Why? $11.50 might be seem pricy...but in 1996, I was making $4.75/hour California minimum wage. In 2026, its now $17, or even $20 for fast food workings. 11.50/17 = .67 $4.75 X .67 = $3.18 would be the 1996 inflation adjusted price. I would've found that a fair price back then, and today.

Always ask for your sandwich toasted. Trust…read more So yeah, the sandwiches are pretty straightforward, nothing fancy which is a-ok with me. I enjoyed the turkey one, the meatball one, and the cheesesteak one (I order that one too many times) If your sandwich isn't toasted, it's a really different experience. Get it toasted. Trust. The portions are huge. Two people can eat a full size and be pretty content if you aren't a big eater Straightforward sandwiches, fair price, nice small business, what more can you want? OMG there was this crazy post on Reddit about an "overpriced" sandwich shop in Marin that pretty much expedited their closure. That's sad. I love small businesses. Get your sandwich here and not that five dollar foot long corporate ripoff or overpriced places. It works. I like what works.

All of the pastries I tried were amazing. The cinnamon roll (only available on weekends) was definitely a favorite.

There were lines out of the door both times we came, but the line moves fairly quickly. Parking isn't an issue since it's located in a plaza. Definitely a must try if you're around the area!

Inside they do have seating but not a ton. You have to get there early if you want to sit inside, but there's plenty of seating outside and the weather here in Novato is always fairly nice. Let's talk about the staff. They are the most helpful and very friendly. If you are ordering cake for a special occasion, they will definitely help you pick out the right one. And you won't be disappointed. I go there for lunch and my favorite thing on the menu is the ham and brie cheese sandwich. You can either get salad with it on the side or potato salad. For breakfast, I love to get the avocado toast. My husband always tries to sneak in some cookies to take home. They are also delicious. So all it's a great place to go and the food is divine.

When I picked up the sandwiches, they were leaking through the bag. Correction. Mine was leaking through the bag. The staff member put it in a plastic bag. I took it home, opened up the wrap and it was completely soaked in oil. Through the paper. The sandwich roll was covered in it. Picking it up and eating it was a challenge because it was so oily. There was balsamic vinegar on it as well. I could have eaten it and pushed aside the mistake if it wasn't such a mess. My husband had the hot salami and it didn't have oil on the bun at all. Weird. It won't keep me from coming again, but I will definitely have them repeat "no oil" twice.
