    Maserati sandwich that was supposed to have tomatoes and cheese

    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.

    Belair Sandwich
    Victoria E.

    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.

    BLT

    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.

    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

    Cookies are big

    We received a few cookies as a gift at work and they all liked it. It was fresh. It's big. I thought it was from Costco. Actually they are not crazy sweet which is OK with me. Good job.

    BelAir Sandwich
    Melissa C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    expired chips
    Mina M.

    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.

    ‼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. Do not waste your time and money, UNLESS you want to be served with a side of MAGGOTS/FLY LARVAE.

    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.

    Small but cute interior
    sarah b.

    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.

    Chicken bone found in my sandwich (the igniter)
    Alma C.

    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.

But I think that is about to change. I was at the Farmer's Market that happens right outside this place on Saturdays and I ventured in for an iced tea. What I found was super friendly service. They said I could sit outside at the tables to enjoy my beverage - even if that was all I purchased. That was so cool of 'em that I decided to try a cheeseburger. It's a pretty good burger! We recently had a slew of cloudy, chilly rainy days in Nov. 2025 so today seemed warm and the cheeseburger had a summery char-grilled flavor, perfectly cooked and juicy. They bring everything on the side so you can choose how much you want of everything - lettuce, generous serving of sliced tomatoes and onions. I just have to remember to hold the mayo next time. Some of the outdoor seats have umbrellas and some don't so you can decide if you like shade or sun. They also have heated tables (firepits) for evening dinners. Server came and checked on me twice and when I asked for a to go cup for my tea, she filled the to go cup for me rather than just making me pour what I had left into it. We normally do takeout and they have unique Mexican options from Oaxaco that are healthy Blue Zone inspired dishes alongside the more traditional Mexican options. Plus perennial faves that carried over from the previous owner like real roasted turkey. This is a cool place with solid options to suit many tases and the best part is the super friendly service. I'm going to make a note to come back soon.

I recommend this place to everyone! I love coming here.

The trip was completely spontaneous since we had been in Big Sur earlier that day, but it ended up being well worth the drive. I never would've expected this market to be tucked away at the end of a residential street, but once you get close, you can smell the food before you even arrive. The sandwich was incredible...huge enough that we had to share it. The meat was so juicy it was literally dripping down my fingers, and I made an absolute mess eating it. I would definitely return. It truly feels like a hidden hole-in-the-wall spot run by hardworking, down-to-earth people. The owner was personable, engaged in friendly banter, and made the experience even better. Plenty of locals stopped by during our lunch, and what really stood out was that he even remembered my friend despite him not having lived in the area for the past three years.

They have exotic brands from around the world along with rare and older brands that the big box grocery stores don't carry. I don't know how they do it, but the quality and freshness of the vegetables and perishables are top notch given such variety. We used to shop at Whole Foods in Monterey, and we like the small specialty shops like Elroy's in Monterey and Jerome's Carmel Valley Market, but Star Market is a combination of both worlds. Whole Foods has gotten corporate with an overemphasis on their own brands. Star Market doesn't really have their brand so they are extremely loyal to local brands which makes the shopping experience feel like a tour of Monterey County highlights. I also like the very practical way they're running their business. Few frills, very clean, and high quality. In fact, it feels very nostalgic to walk in, like a movie set from the 1970's which makes me feel that this is still a family owned and run business. If you're looking for a truly unique experience that is different from the Albertsons/Lucky/Safeway/Nob Hill sameness, then you have to do yourself a favor and visit Star Market. It has a Salinas/Monterey old fashioned charm coupled with unrivaled variety and quality.
