    Food was beautiful, delicious and the staff were so hospitable! The sandwiches really do look professional in person! No sad fast food burger made here, no sir. Their food is made with love and care and it tastes that way too! Flavors were well rounded, the amount of food and quality was great! Make sure to come early or at least before 1:00 or 2:00 because we came around dinner and they ran out of the ingredients for one of their popular sandwiches and they were out of their freshly made sides, too. I'm not mad, that's just how small local businesses run. Please give them a try and I might visit early on a weekend to get their popular items before they run out

    It's our favorite sandwich spot anywhere around! Service is great , food is fresh and made to order, you get choice of chips , pasta salad, and potato salad ( if they don't run out it's popular) but this time around we were able to get some and it did not disappoint, atmosphere is good and the play good tunes ! Hot coffee is tasty and fresh . Stop by you won't regret it!

    Man this was an experience! The customer service was amazing. Me and my brother came from Seal Beach because a friend that lived around here told us about it and how great it was, it exceeded my expectations! The atmosphere is very welcoming and most importantly the food tasted so fresh! Coming back to try the Italian club

    Came in to pick up a sandwich and a coffee for the breakfast folk ! I had a bite but I didn't want to hand over the rest ! Service was impressive friendly fast and exceptional quality ! The spot is clean always comfy cozier and more personable each visit impressive hidden gem ! Power croissant with soft buttery fluffy eggs!!

    Cinnamon Cream iced coffee. And Black Cold Brew.

    Food, service and ambiance. These guys made you feel right at home. Of course, the food did not disappoint. I shared the Tuna Sando and potato salad as the side. FRICKEN AMAZING!!! Fresh bread. Fresh ingredients and good vibes!! Not to mention, the coldbrew and the iced coffee with the cinnamon foam?? Not too sweet and not artificial. Thank you guys. We will be back.

    Blessed with an ice coffee well we waited for our tuna sandwich and potato salad. Friendly and yummy food

    I highly recommend this spot for a sandwich. They blessed us with an ice coffee and bagel well we waited for our lunch. Ty for your lovely services

    This place has The vibe check on point!

    The Garden Deli is a true hidden gem tucked in a high-traffic area--tricky to reach, but worth every turn. The cozy ma-and-pa vibe radiates good energy and welcoming charm. I brought the family and ordered the Guajolote Sandwich (oven-roasted turkey, pork belly, romaine lettuce, tomato, raw red onion, provolone cheese, avocado, and signature chipotle aioli on a croissant) with Italian salad; the turkey was perfectly moist, and the sandwich was to die for. My husband got the Roast Beef with Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard aioli, tomato, caramelized onions, and arugula on sourdough bread--juicy, flavorful, and a total standout. The place was empty when we arrived, so they kindly put on Mickey Mouse Playhouse for the kids. The girls loved their ham and cheese sandwiches while watching. Anthony, Jr. (aka Carlos), and John went above and beyond to ensure an amazing experience--open arms, top-notch service. Thank you, guys! Can't wait to return.

    Came for my first time after it being recommended. Let me just say, a little pricy but the food is cooked FRESH to order. I had "The Montero" one of the best tortas I've had. Bolio was fresh, carnitas juicy yet crispy; the RED ONION JAM is so great! And the jalapeño spread was so full of flavor. To finish our meal we ordered two slices of cheesecake, one chocolate and one strawberry good stuff! Staff is great recommended the Italian pasta salad as a side and it did not disappoint. Everything inside is clean, very welcoming and very intimate. GREAT JOB GARDEN DELI, will be back and will recommend to anyone and everyone.

    Awesome sandwich shop. This is a quaint little place, completely unassuming but some fantastic sandwiches. Vibe of the space is really cozy - one of those great community spots. We got the hand and cheese, tuna, and egg salad. Everything was prepared fresh and incredibly delicious. The pasta salad that came in the side was also really well done and not overpowering like most other places. They've got Boar's Head product so the quality is fantastic. I was happily surprised to see they served egg salad, which I feel is a sign of a good sandwich shop. They add some nice, thick slabs of bacon on top. The ham and cheese was also great and had a delicious jalapeño spread. Not too spicy but packed with flavor. Great spot. Definitely worth checking out. Owner was incredibly gracious and welcoming. Perfect sandwich shop for some good food.

    Found this place after seeing a few videos of it on social media. It's a great find! Every time I stop by the workers are super nice and friendly. I like to get The Garden Feta with the potato salad. Super yummy and never had a sandwich like it before. I have yet to try the other sandwiches because it's that good and my favorite. One thing to note is the parking lot is a bit small.

    BEST Sandwiches ever. It's usually a pain in the butt to get my daughter to eat, but she even finished her half of the turkey and cheese sandwich. The flavor of our sandwich was on point and wasn't dry at all. El Monte is out of the way for us, but we will def come back if we're in the area.

This place is located somewhat in the lobby, which is an open area for seating and with bar right in middle. I usually come with relatives traveling from afar. They like the atmosphere and they enjoy Jeovanni's services. He is one of the bartenders who has a nice smile, that recommends good food and good drinks.

The ambiance is beautiful and modern, making it a great spot for drinks, light bites, or a casual date night that still feels a little elevated. They offer a full bar with a solid drink selection, and the overall service was friendly and welcoming. Food leans more toward handhelds like burgers and sandwiches, which makes it easy to just hang out and snack while you drink. The charcuterie board was so good and was honestly one of the best parts of the experience--great variety of cheeses, nuts, olives, bread, and that fig jam was amazing. Definitely a must-order if you're there. Overall: A stylish, comfortable bar with good food options and great drinks. Whether you're pairing it with Mélange or just stopping in for a drink and a bite, it's a solid spot to unwind.

    This is a very cute restaurant for breakfast/brunch! We came to try it on a Wednesday lunch…read more We ordered steak and eggs, the steak was not good, very rough. I wish they charge more but give a better quality steak. But the way they flavored the steak was very good!! Then we ordered the smoked salmon benny, very delicious! Loved everything about this dish! I would come back for this! We also ordered their signature dessert, Dutch baby, it tasted exactly like bread pudding. It was good but not what I imagined how it would taste. So trying once was enough for me. Service was attentive! Everything else was great. Will be back occasionally!

    Let me start with the coffee and hazelnut latte, amazing. We were seated quickly, which was nice,…read morebut then it took about 10-15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged us. Servers kept walking past our table without checking in and honestly looked kind of lost or wandering around aimlessly. Luckily they keep water pitchers on the tables already filled, which now makes perfect sense considering how long it takes to get service. Smart move on their part. I ordered the avocado toast with a side of bacon, and my husband ordered the chorizo skillet. The coffees and my food came out quickly, but his never did. Instead, we watched an older server walk around the restaurant with his skillet and bacon, stopping at multiple tables asking if it belonged to them. Twice she set it down at other tables before being told it wasn't theirs. The third time, she finally brought it to us. That seems like it should be a health issue, what if someone else had stuck their fingers in it not knowing. By then, my husband didn't even want it anymore because it had already been sitting in front of other people. To their credit, they remade it, but then we waited another 15 minutes for his food while I had already finished eating. We actually watched another couple sitting next to us get so frustrated because their order was completely forgotten. After waiting forever with no food and barely any acknowledgment, they eventually just got up and left. Overall, cute spot and really good coffee, but the service was incredibly disorganized and the food mix-up was a huge turnoff. Unfortunately, we won't be back.

I'm glad they serve this as a short stack otherwise I would have been in a food coma because we also got the sirloin loco moco and some kind of Ube coffee drink.

    I've been here twice. Both times were good. The first time wasn't super memorable. Like I remember…read moreit was decent but nothing mind blowing. I came here again recently and it was fairly busy for a Wednesday morning but I was still able to get a seat. Tried the POG and it tasted fresh but still just ok. Didn't bring me back to the islands per se. But I appreciate the effort. I got the chicken katsu loco moco. I was leaning towards the spam loco moco cause I didn't really want something fried but it was the same price so I figured the katsu was a better deal cause it's more skill. It was such a large plate. Like easily two people could share it and maybe a third. The gravy was solid. The chicken wasn't dry and was good. Spam musubi was good but I wish it was fully wrapped cause my rice broke off towards the end. I got a guava toffee French toast to go for my daughter and she said it was good but it literally just tasted like cooked bread which I guess is what French toast is but I guess when it's done right it's transformed more. This wasn't the case. She also could barely taste the guava. All in all I'd come again if someone else wanted to try it but it's not something I'll be craving or coming to when I miss the islands.
