    The Happy Belly Deli!
    Elise S.

    Sometimes I want to have a sandwich like the one's I make at home, but I don't want to buy everything to make it, or I'm on the go working. I don't really like the big sandwich chains all that much because the quality seems to be lacking. We found this place, saw the reviews, & decided to give it a shot! My husband got a turkey sandwich, and I had the Willy B.L.A.T. ( I thinkkkk that was the name) The Willy is so good ( hey! Mind outta the gutter!) Seriously though. Simple. Delicious. Fast.

    These sandwiches are soooo good. The Happy Italian is the BEST. Such a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere too. Tons of beverage options. The owners are a local family as well Can't wait to go back.

    A mom and pop shop that my husband and I are happy to support! There's outdoor seating and the customer service is awesome! I ordered the Sunny Disposition panini on sourdough and it was toasted to perfection, the pesto sauce really makes this sandwich. Would 100% recommend.

    Clean & neat front counter - menu board

    Stopped at Old Town's newest food stop and it did not disappoint! I love chicken salad so opted to try their special of the day....cilantro lime chicken salad in seed bread. So good!! Great mom and pop shop worth a visit. And a great and affordable kid menu too!! Open Monday-Saturday 11am-5:30p

    Great new deli in old town Temecula. Delicious fresh sandwiches with a twist. I'm so excited to have found this little family owned gem. They also make theirs own Homemade mustard and pickles

    Happy Belly Deli has a great menu!

    Excellent sandwiches, super friendly staff. Found this place while golfing in Temecula and loved everything about it. It was super clean, the sandwiches were huge and the owner Ronny is a great guy and made us feel at home which is great especially during these crazy times. I pay attention to how restaurants treat people and handle business and food preparation and Happy Belly Deli and their staff was outstanding! I highly recommend it.

    Decided to try this place because I read a good review on Temecula talk. This place didn't disappoint. A super friendly man greeted my husband and I at the door and took our order. We decided on the simple Sammy and the happy belly. Both our sandwiches were great! The tiny bean sample on the side was delicious as well. We will definitely be back.

    Loved the Triple trouble sandwich! Super fresh, family owned and super friendly!! They were able to get our meal out super quickly. The inside of the store is clean and well decorated! LOVED IT, stop in and try it out 5/5!!! Ate my food too fast to take a pic haha

She called in the order for pick up, her of course getting her usual and I opted for the Whole Farm which sounded delightful. I swung by on my way into town and grabbed our goodies. The order was actually ready a little faster than the time quoted to us which was awesome especially with it being so busy. There was hardly standing room inside so you know the food is going to be great. Unfortunately I didn't snap any photos but wow that was a GREAT sandwich. The bread was so fluffy and tasted so fresh. The surprise of a chocolate chip cookie and the pickle was the icing on the cake. I wish this spot had been around when I lived in Old Town but now I know where to go when I'm nearby!

We stopped here on the way home from Pechanga while charging our Tesla and since it was in the same plaza, we figured we'd check it out. I assumed it was more of a franchise bakery than a standalone artisan spot, so I came in with pretty low expectations. I was just planning to grab a cinnamon roll, a loaf of their Cinnamon Burst Bread and a quick sandwich for the drive home. To my surprise, their house-made sandwiches are served on freshly baked bread, made with fresh ingredients, and cost under $10 (Panera could never!!!). Their baked goods were also reasonably priced with generous portions. We picked up the Cinnamon Burst Bread, a cinnamon roll, a honey bran muffin (which completely stole the show for me; it was incredibly moist and I'd come back just for that) and an almond poppy seed scone. The service here was just as impressive. Everyone was so friendly and personable and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed being there. I also loved their "Giving Rack," where anyone in need can take free baked goods. It's such a thoughtful idea and says a lot about the kind of business they are. This is easily one of my favorite bakery finds and it'll definitely be a regular stop whenever I'm back in the area.

    This 12-Inch Toasted Beast Just Executed My Sad Spinach & Nut Butter Smoothie Diet -- And I'm Not…read moreEven Pressing Charges Temecula, I rolled in a starving 6'4" disaster who's been choking down spinach-and-nut-butter smoothies like a hostage for weeks. Rockin' Jay's looked at my weak soul and said "bet" -- then saved it in the best way possible. Counter girl hit me with a smile so bright I almost reached for sunglasses. The entire all-female crew was straight beast-mode at the open sandwich bar, slinging subs like they were on a mission from the sandwich gods. Atmosphere? Spacious as hell, proper New York deli that moonlights as a 70s rock dive -- screaming reds and greens, green booths, wooden tables, tiled floors, the whole retro package you see in the pics. The playlist was gloriously all over the place in the best way -- Contemporary Christian one minute, 2019 pop bangers the next, basically spanning six decades of straight fire. "Listen to your heart" came on and I damn near did while they built my baby. Every single pick was gold though. I ordered the 12" Capicola & Provolone ($16.69). I yelled "the works -- no mustard, drown me in onions and olives." They dropped an absolute beast of a sandwich... and it came perfectly toasted straight out the gate the way it should be. No sad "can you toast this?" negotiation. Golden, crunchy bread that cracks like it owes you money. Meat stacked stupid high, provolone doing its melty thing, then they buried the whole thing under an avalanche of fresh, snapping shredded lettuce and threw in those glossy peppers on the side like a mic drop. This thing is ridiculously messy -- oil dripping, lettuce flying, pure delicious chaos in every bite. Pro tip: there's no napkin dispenser at the tables, so you gotta go full scavenger hunt by the self-serve soda machine to grab your own stack. Worth every greasy finger and napkin raid. It fed this giant for two meals and left me still full, slightly greasy, and weirdly emotional. My spinach smoothie PTSD? Cured. If your diet has been as depressing as mine, stop torturing yourself and drag your weak ass here immediately. Friendly as can be, killer vibe, and subs that actually deliver. Tell 'em the tall smoothie refugee sent you. I'm claiming a booth next week and bringing stretchy pants... and maybe my own napkin stash.

    Just as good as I remember!…read more We used to go to the Temecula location until they closed up the shop. Today I went to Murrieta to look in the meat a frozen cases and order two sandwiches. Before I get to reviewing the sandwiches I want to mention the great stuff I saw at the meat counter that I will definitely come back for! They had chorizo, pork breakfast sausage, Hungarian pork sausage, two kinds of brats and more. Nice organic chickens, bone in skin on chicken thighs, and herb marinated half chickens. Their chickens are smaller than what they sell at supermarkets which tell me they are younger and more tender. The steaks....ohhhh the steaks! Wagu, Prime grade, rib-eyes, New York Strips, big shrimps, fish, etc. In the other cold case there was Duck, and other Duck related products, plus so much more I can't remember them all! They are a busy place at lunchtime and I didn't mind waiting. We had a turkey and bacon hot sandwich and a BLT. Outstanding on both! My wife's only suggestion that the turkey needed more chipotle aioli, it was a bit dry.

I was the top guy and worked at the outhouse and the penthouse, meaning I worked in financially stable and unstable departments. With all that said, I saw plenty of problems at this location. Starting off, they are way overpriced. Unless the owners gross profit percentage is 50% or more, should definitely be embarrassed pushing low marbled over priced products. Also, questioning the rotation and shelf life on the product. Quality; putting a first cut, wedge cut that was barely scraped in your counter is embarrassing. Anyone that knows anything about cutting or displaying would walk out, which I did. Displays are amateur at best, no quality or finesse. I would recommend avoiding this place until they learn the business.
