8/10 I ordered the Supercharger and the Belair, and overall both sandwiches were solid, filling and generously packed. Starting with the Supercharger, this was easily the standout of the two. It's loaded with roast beef, bacon, turkey, ham, salami, pepperoncini, tomatoes, red onions, gouda cheese, and chipotle aioli on a ciabatta roll. They definitely don't skimp on the meat, which makes it super satisfying. The combination of the soft ciabatta and cheese worked really well together and balanced out the heaviness of the meats. My only complaint is that it could've used a bit more sauce, something like extra mustard or mayo would've taken it to the next level. Still, a strong 8.5/10. The Belair was decent but didn't quite hit the same level. It came with turkey breast, bacon, gouda cheese, spring mix, tomatoes, red onions, pepperoncini, and chipotle aioli on fresh sliced sourdough. Ours actually came with American cheese instead of gouda, which slightly changed the flavor profile. It was a good sandwich overall, but noticeably drier, especially with the sourdough, so it definitely needed more sauce to bring everything together. I'd give it a 7.2/10. Service was fast and efficient, which I appreciated. The ambiance stood out too, it has a cool retro gas station vibe that gives the place some personality and makes it feel unique. Staff was friendly, and the overall experience was smooth. read more

Try the bakery station again with a coworker of mine. We both got a turkey sandwich. It was pretty delicious. We were both very satisfied. The only thing I was pretty excited about trying a cookie and we were not able to because they still have Covid precaution to where you cannot step inside the establishment. It's all good. The sandwich was great. The service was nothing to write home about, but the food was good and that's all that matters. read more

Picked up sandwiches for lunch with a friend. We split both so had a chance to try the turkey and the roast beef. Both were very good. And the bread was first rate! read more

Stopped by after my hair appointment and picked up a BLT. I wants to try the breakfast sandwich but they stop serving breakfast at 11am. The sandwich was ready by the time I made it back from Brewjee Coffee. Lots of bacon! The bread was fresh and soft. There is no eating area, this restaurant is exclusively for take out. read more

Recession indicator? This used to be my favorite sandwich - but sadly can't say that anymore. $9 for pesto toast is just too much. The stinginess w the cheese and tomatoes is ridiculous. When closed flat - it looks like there's nothing in the sandwich. Also I'll add that I ordered this on Door Dash. I specifically requested - "please enough tomatoes to cover the sandwhich " bc the last one I ordered was just as bad - but I thought it was a one time thing. Nope! Looks like this is how they are being told to make this sandwhich now. Taking this as a sign it's time to make sandwiches at home. Finally this would be 1 star but the cookies arrived ok. read more

This was my first time visiting. I didn't realize they made sandwiches. I found this spot on DoorDash and thought, why not? It had mixed reviews, so I was taking a chance. There wasn't a seating area inside. When you approach the door, that's where they take orders, and the menu is on the glass window. About two people were waiting to order, and one was waiting for their order. The total for the two sandwiches was $19.40. The staff member who took my order was friendly. My mom ordered the same sandwich I did, called the Bel-Air sandwich. I didn't get a chance to photograph hers, but she was disappointed, saying she had high hopes. The bread was very soggy and didn't taste fresh. The portion size was good. I didn't eat mine that day, so I saved it for the next day. I was thinking to myself, "oh boy, it's going to be super soggy now I might have to change the bread." However, that was not the case! The sandwich was good, and the bread wasn't soggy like I thought it would be or compared to my mom's! I finished the whole thing comfortably, and y'all, I saved it for the next day in the refrigerator, so I was expecting soggy bread. read more

Came here for the first time today for lunch around 12pm. Parking was kind of hard to find, everyone is constantly moving in and out of spaces to grab and go but it wasn't too crazy. We ordered the bel air and igniter. Both sandwiches had their own special flair and flavor profiles. It was awesome. We also ordered a cookie, I forgot what it was exactly but it was something along the lines of chocolate chip, walnut, and oatmeal(?) I'm so wrong but it's okay it was something along delicious. It's a grab and go spot so, no sit ins but you can stand around and eat if you wanted to I suppose... cute place though! you wouldn't expect it to be a sandwich spot. the long lines will definitely have you curious if you didn't know what it was right away. Great and quick service. I love the vibes they're going for and the location great. Coffee, breakfast, movies, more coffee and so much more nearby. Love downtown Salinas read more

We've eaten here a few times, and the sandwiches have always been really good. Today 11/24. I ordered the Road Hog (pulled pork sandwich) and I found not 1 but 2 hairs in my sandwich! Pretty Grossed Out. Probably won't be returning any time soon. Bummer! read more

First off, if you didn't know about this place, you'd miss it because there are no signs anywhere. This place gives off hipster (and I mean Williamsburg, NYC) vibes. The interior is STILL closed due to COVID. I asked the manager there when they are going to open again, they said "this month". This place deals great sandwiches. I had the Tuna on brioche. Good amount of tuna & fixings. I'd come back. Price: $8.75. I didn't get chips or drink. read more

Pretty decent sandwhich shop. Food is always fresh. I've tried both the bel air and the caddy sandwiches. My go to is the bel air. Lunch hour is always busy, so plan accordingly. Maybe 5-15 minute wait period. Onsite parking is limited, so I'd suggest parking in the lot next to it. Customer service has been good too. read more

How cute is this sandwich shop? I was in a bind after class and needed something to eat when I stumbled across The Bakery Station. The shop was easy to navigate to; however, I had no idea it was inside of an old gas station. Maybe a large sign could help the confusion some customers like myself may have. I ordered ahead because I saw online that it was takeout only. The wait was no more than 10 mins. I ordered the BelAir -- turkey breast, bacon, gouda cheese, spring mix, tomatoes, red onions, pepperoncinis with chipotle aioli on fresh sliced sourdough. The sandwich was fresh and yummy. The cost was $14.77 for my sandwich and a bag of chips. I would certainly come back to The Bakery Station, and recommend to friends. read more

Great staff and excellent fresh food! Affordable and delicious. The family is community minded and very caring!

Checked out this spot for the first time earlier this week from a coworkers recommendation. Taking off one star because they served expired chips (August 2023 when it's October 2023) with my sandwich. Sandwich was tasty though. Bread was soft, cilantro aioli was tasty, meat tasted better than other deli meat. And they offered Fresca which is one of my favorite soft drinks. Pretty good sandwich spot. read more

‼DO NOT EAT AT THE BAKERY STATION‼ I wouldn't be talking shit if THE BAKERY STATION would've stepped up and taken responsibility with what was in my sandwich to the health department, instead they denied to having any complaints that day.

I've been coming to the bakery station since I was in high school (10 years ago) and the bakery station you see now is not what the bakery station used to be at all. Since the "shelter in place" due to covid, has been lifted for YEARS now, they have not let a single person back inside of the establishment to enjoy a sandwich by sitting down in one of their tables or bar stools at their bar top. Nothing more frustrating than seeing you can't sit and eat in an establishment that has plenty of room to do so. My guess, the staff is too lazy to keep up with the very small dining space and clean a table here and there. Their bland staff takes your order at the front door with no customer service and their wait times for a simple 2 sandwich order is beyond ridiculous; considering they don't have to worry about anything but making sandwiches since the entire inside is closed to the public. They also still use the same names of the sandwiches that used to be prepared perfectly and are now skimped and lacking in character. Nothing about this place is the same and needs to be rethought of or remodeled completely, this is a mockery to what the real Bakery Station used to be. This is a very real review that needed to be shared since the day they changed owners. Anyone saying anything different has never been to this place pre covid. read more

I didn't realize it would be such a cute place! Tiny, but very cute. The BLT has deliciously crispy thick bacon, which makes the soft white bread (NOT toast, FYI) the perfect contrast. The Banh Mi wannabe (can't remember the name, but it's on a French roll) was tasty, but could use more spice. This is a really affordable place. I love how they have kids' sandwiches for only 3.75! I've definitely overpaid elsewhere, and then my kid only eats half. Every sandwich was under $10. read more

I drive by here all the time and didn't know what it was until I Yelped in today. I decided to give it a go and I was very pleased. The customer service guy was SO nice. They have a lunch combo special that includes 1/2 sandwich, chips or cookie and a drink for $9.00. The lunch combo came in a brown bag that made me feel like my mom packed my lunch for school and I liked the nostalgia lol. I got the tuna and the 1/2 was plentiful for me. I will definitely be going back to try their other sandwiches and cookies. read more

This was my first time here. I ordered the "igniter" without the mayo. Despite that they had several people waiting, the service was quick and professional. The staff was very friendly and I really appreciated that. The food is fairly priced. When I got home I tried my sandwich and it was delicious. It gave me vibes of a Vietnamese Banh Mi and I loved it. The only issue I had was that I found a chicken bone in my sandwich (see photo). Thankfully I spotted it right before I took another bite, but I couldn't help thinking of what could've happened if I hadn't seen it. Other than the bone, the sandwich was amazing. However, I am not sure yet if I would go back. read more

I'm not sure what's going on with grub hub communicating with restaurants. When I first tried the bakery station I ordered a potato salad and was charged for it on my end But it didn't reflect on their end. I understand stuff like this happens so I wasn't even mad. I try to give places a second try. So today I ordered a BLT with turkey on whole wheat bread.. when I got back to my office to enjoy the sandwich I was terribly disappointed to find it was on white bread The restaurant is at an interesting location and I like that they are closed off from anyone coming into their restaurant and have folx order at the door Their staff was polite and quick to help me when I got there. If anyone in management is reading this review... y'all need to get your ducks in a row with grub hub, don't advertise whole wheat bread only to disappoint your customers with white bread If anyone is reading this and doesn't see the big deal go educate yourself on why overly processed breads are pointless to eat and bad for your health. read more

My sister and I have been wanting to try this place for quite some time but every time we decide to go it's closed. So luckily one day my sister and I was driving by and was thinking what to have for lunch we both thought we better stop by and try it now. My sister and I both ended up getting the same thing, BelAir Sandwich. I would say I am impressed in the amount of meat they put into and how soft the bread was. There was a crunch on every bite and no soggy lettuce! The size of the sandwich is Perfect. It filled me up and I would definitely try to go back there again to get a sandwich. Highly recommend. read more

We love this place. It was the first place we came when we moved back to Salinas to feed our moving crew and we were happy to find it. It's more of a sandwich shop than a bakery, but there are lots of baked goods that they make in house. Over the last couple of years we find ourselves there quite often. I was pleased to find out that they bake their own sourdough for the sandwiches (and the loaves are beautiful). We're big fans of the BLT and the Igniter, both are beautiful, big, stuffed and extremely delicious. The service is quick and everything they bake is outstanding. read more

Delicious sandwiches! Small menu but with good variety. Bit pricey for a sandwich shop/ the area. Driving up, the place stood out instantly. Great little retro drive up right on the corner of a couple main streets. I ordered a Maserati sandwich, $7.50 for pesto, swiss cheese, and tomatoes on sourdough. I added avocado for a costly $2 bringing the sandwich to nearly $10 :/ However, taste was great and I absolutely enjoyed it. My wife ordered a BelAir sandwich which the host said was their most popular item. At $9.25, you get turkey breast, bacon, gouda cheese, spring mix, tomatoes, red onions & pepperoncinis & homemade chipotle aioli on sourdough. This sandwich is jam packed with turkey and the fixings so the price isn't bad. She gave her sandwich a thumbs up. Both sandwiches tasted like they had all fresh ingredients. read more

Probably the best sandwich spot in Salinas. The sandwiches are made with fresh bread, stacked high with meats veggies and cheese, and simply delicious. Last I was there it was take out only, customer service was great, and order was completed promptly. Be aware though sometimes there is a line out the door and it may take a bit to place your order. You could always order before hand though and simply pick up your delicious sandwich right away. read more

Quirky deli in an old gas station. Take a moment to browse the photos in yelp for the deli as they capture how truly amazing the sandwiches are. If you leave hungry something is definitely wrong. I was able to finish half of a Bel-Air and am considering feeding a hungry third world nation with the other half. In addition to the deli they have some great baked goods to include scones. I am not usually a scone fan but their chocolate chip scones looked so delicious I had to buy one. It was as delicious as it looked. The customer service was great. service was fast and friendly. Seating and parking is limited but city parking is conveniently nearby. The prices are higher than you might expect from most delis but the food is anything but most delis. Would recommend this to anyone who enjoys great food. read more

I found out about this place during the shelter in place order. They were offering free delivery to local residents. Their serving sizes are gigantic and their sandwiches are creative. I don't eat a lot of meat and their menu is meat-centric so I just never got around to checking it out. But I'm glad I found it. They make a veggie sandwich exciting and the large garden salad is enough to last several meals. Yep. Gigantic portions. The VW has jalapeños and apple slices. Their BLT is the bomb. Top it off with a cookie. I will be back. They are closed now because we are right in the middle of the coronavirus in Monterey County and they want to shut down as a safety precaution. That just makes you respect them even more and I'm going to remember to patronize them after Monterey county gets through this. read more

The Bakery Station is for sure a go-to stop for fueling up for lunch when in Salinas. I was working in the south valley and passed through Salinas on my way back most times and felt this place was pretty reliable. I even stopped while heading camping out there a couple weeks ago. Easy to find, lots of street parking, very cute setup. This is a converted service/gas station, so they take the car/travel theme and run with it. Their specialty sandwiches are all named after classic cars. Service was always friendly, if a bit slow during busy times. You order at the counter and can see all the great pastries and the giant bread oven. Watch out for the 'sourdough', as it tastes like white bread. A better bet is the wheat, which I found had better flavor. All the ingredients were fresh. Limited chip selection, but I always found one I liked. Large beverage selection available. Plus for being open on the weekend. With fresh baked bread, tasty ingredients and very good prices, Bakery Station is the spot. read more
