WOW FACTOR? Good menu selections for sandwiches, but we'd already had lunch. NOT HAVE AGAIN: Manny's brownie, ginger and toffee cookies were just ok and disappointing. read more

Stopped here on our way to Dillon Beach and this did not disappoint! We got the breakfast biscuits and the ham & cheese croissant (which were enormous!) and they were both delicious. Will definitely be stopping again to try their homemade breads and pizzas! Service was extremely fast (we went on a Sunday morning expecting to have to wait a while) and such a cute little location! read more

Very nice deli. Good prices. Real home cooking. Excellent hot and cold sandwich selection and a good variety of snacks, salads, drinks & desserts. I parked right out front. Perfect place for me. Quick stop along the coastline. read more

Headed to Dillion Beach? PERFECT stop just a few miles away. Tons of sandwiches to choose from, or build your own. Lots told favorites and some originals. Friendly and helpful staff. My Ruben was 10/10, my friend said his burger was 8/10! Only waited about 5 min for our food, plus dog friendly patio! read more

Their sandwich menu stands out when you first walk in, so I immediately saw that they had a veggie sandwich and it could be made vegan by leaving off the cheese (I asked if they had vegan cheese and they said no) and leaving off the mayo, so that's what I ordered, and it was very tasty and filling. Looking at their website now it says they have a veggie burger, but while I was there waiting for the sandwich, I saw their burger menu on the wall on the back, and I read that thoroughly and didn't see a veggie burger offering. Maybe I missed it, but from what I remember, they didn't offer a veggie burger. Hence the 3-star rating. read more

Great service and amazing food! We went her twice for lunch during our stay at Dillon Beach!

Got the steak breakfast bagel. Steak and bagel were top tier. So much yum. Perfection. And a cheese skirt to boot! Took a few minutes but they're a 2 person operation and many customers came in right after us. Wife got the chicken ciabatta which was also delicious but heads up it's quite wet so scoop it up and gobble it asap! read more

Without exaggeration, it's my favorite deli in America. Seriously. I've been to all fifty states three times and travel regularly. There's a lot of good places out there but this one is first rate. The quality of the food and the inventiveness of their offerings are the best part. Don't waste your time getting a basic turkey and Swiss. Try one of their specialty sandwiches. You won't regret it. read more

Do not sleep on this deli! We had the best sandwiches and the service is top notch! Super clean and great options! They have so much to choose from and some great baked goods too. Have lunch then head to Dillon beach or head down to bodega! They have breakfast items too. read more

Our lunch today was excellent! I had the Reuben, and it was delicious. The pastrami was tasty, the marbled rye bread was very special, the sauerkraut was a very nice portion and tasty. My friend had the French Dip with Au Jus, and loved it! The dining area is very nicely done with generous spacing and nice furniture. It was a really good lunch, and highly recommended! read more

Lamb sandwich was out of this world! The Marin breakfast sandwich was also very good! I will be back for more of the lamb sando for sure!!

Nice family run business. We ordered the bruschetta sandwich and chicken ranch sandwich. Both were delicious. The place is nice and clean, with plenty of local art on the walls to explore. There was a very young man behind the counter that took our order, and delivered our food. He was both very pleasant and professional. I would definitely recommend this business. read more

OMG!! Talk about selection and customer service. and then we got our food. Hands down supreme! Would've taken a picture of my Carnitas sandwich but I couldn't stop eating this deliciousness. My husband got the Cordon Blue sandwich and he said the same thing. Thank you guys so much for a wonderful meal! read more

What a hidden gem!! We ordered an egg and sausage sandwich, French vanilla coffee and a coffee muffin. Everything was amazing!! Great service and love the ambiance!!! Can't wait to come back! read more

Food was very mediocre; 20 minute wait for a sandwich even though we were the only ones in line. Had a frustrating experience with staff. Wouldn't allow me to add on a water bottle after I had made my purchase because of a 5 dollar minimum for a credit card purchase, and refused to give me tap water. Had to plead to even get an empty cup to fill myself at an outside fountain. I'd recommend skipping this place... there's a reason there's no line regardless of all the other businesses around being busy. read more

The food here is great! The owners are awesome! Plenty of seating. Veggie sandwiches on different days. One day with avocado another with sprouts. read more

I've really been working hard at writing any negative reviews, it is unfortunate that this was where we stopped to eat in Tomales. I ordered a Reuben sandwich, my lunch partner ordered the tri-tip sandwich. The meat on the Reuben was stiff, yet slimy and had a really bad texture and taste. I didn't bother trying to rectify this because the place was packed, and the woman at the register seemed irritated to be working. Also, the tri tip meat that I tasted was very dry. I'll remember to pack snacks on my next excursion, because we planned to dine at William Tells but much to our surprise it was out of business. read more

My 3 sister inlaws were here visiting the past few days. Their folks and them spent many camping adventures at Dillons Beach as children. We drove over for a bit of a walk down memory lane. After roaming the beach for a couple hours, we headed back home to Napa. As we approached Tomales we saw this cute little deli and decided to get a bite to eat. Boy oh boy I'm glad we did! The food was so good. We entered and a nice lady took our orders. There were 6 of us, so it took a while, but she handled it like a pro. The menu is quite extensive with many sandwich and salad choices. I'm going to focus on my choice.. I had the French Dip ( Get This!) It was served on the most delicious Sour Dough French Bread with carmelized onions and gooey melted Swiss cheese. Tha Au Jue was so rich and piping hot. The ladies behind the counter are Hispanic and I found the way they prepared the meat to be cultural. It was chopped up as if it were going into a taco. Carne Asada style so to speak. Very tender and juicy. The others had the Ruben, a Tuna Melt that was off the hook, a Pear Salad served with Raspberry/Balsamic dressing and a Caeser Salad. All amazing! There is a relatively small indoor dining area and we chose to eat there, but there is also a small covered area for dining Al Fresco if you desire. The prices are quite reasonable too. I only took 1 photo of what used to be the Tomales Bank. Go check this little gem out if you're in the area. read more

"Sostenga mi cerveza," said the Conjeo del Cruz Azul, after Gritty, the Philadelphia Flyer's mascot, told his cousin, "You make fine tortas, but nothing beats a Philly cheese steak." Here comes the Vilma torta: Juicy pork, mixed with sauted mushrooms, caramelized onions, tomatoes, melted jack cheese, salsa verde, cilantro pesto and mayo. Just as juicy, melt in the mouth as a Philly cheese steak, but with way more flavor. While you're there, pick up the Salsitas spicy salsa chips. The sandwich is huge too, enough for two and is great sustenance for a hike. read more

Great place to stop in and grab a bite to eat if you find yourself hungry in Tomales Bay! This was really the only spot available for us to eat near our AirBNB but it did not disappoint. We came in for some breakfast and coffee and it was delicious. We asked the staff for their recommendations and walked away with something buttery and with apricots and a savory spinach and goat cheese pastry. It was delicious! read more

Well, Ive been here maybe 20 or so times while biking, driving by, or moto-ing somewhere. It's not fancy, but good. I always seem to have the lamb sandwich. A BIG word of warning....there are NO open bathrooms anywhere near Tomales since the pandemic. Like NO-WHERE! Closest is Pt Reyes Station down the coast or Valley Ford, maybe Petaloooma. You've been warned! There are bathrooms, but they've been closed every day of the week I've been there. read more

This place had some of the best food I've had in such a long time. It's a very tiny but adorable deli in the middle of this quiet town. The wait was a little long but after tasting the food, I understand why. Great quality food and the staff was super friendly. Definitely coming back next visit! read more

I just had what might be the best Sandwich I ever had. Carnitas on a toasted Cuban roll with grill onions, chipotle mayo, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and melted provolone cheese. Un--real. Definitely going back! read more

Food is really good here! They have a paper menu on the counter that nobody told me about that I wish I saw before I ordered. Customer service needs work. It takes $0 to be kind and grateful to have customers. They acted like I was 'bothering' them to order sandwiches, at the deli where they work. That was such a turn off. Hopefully a manager reads this and reminds the staff that a smile goes a long way. read more

Nice little deli/ cafe. The food was great, had the Stemple Burger (local grass feed beef), and a slice of the pudding pie...which is like a bread pudding pie. Amazing!! The staff behind the counter were super friendly and you can watch them prepare everything right there. Recommend read more

This definitely wasn't the destination just driving down the road needed to grab something quick to eat and found this place on yelp and what a find it was. Well it's not fast food and it's not super fast but well worth the wait We split a "tri-tip sandwich and a few old style coca-cola products in the tall 10oz bottle these are the bottle still bottled in Mexico using real sugar instead of using high fructose corn syrup and they were ice cold and soooo refreshing. You could tell this is definitely a local favorite there was a steady flow of people either ordering to eat in or take out. Like I said before not fast food everything is cooked and put together fresh. As you can see there are lots of choices and I noticed everyone was ordering something different but the tri-tip did seem to be popular and for good reason. The interior and exterior is pretty simple two rooms inside yet still very small and a few tables outside.This is the kind of place you grab your chips and your own drink place your order give them your name and pay and they yell out your name when it's ready. Definitely worth a stop I'd do it again if ever in the area. There is also a small home style bakery attached on the corner. read more

Stopped in Tomales, CA today to grab food on my way exploring highway 1. This little deli/cafe was the only food available, so I jumped on the opportunity to try it. They have a lot of choices, and on a whim I ordered a cheese steak sandwich (something I'd never before in a place that doesn't feature them as a main menu item). I was blown away, it was better than any other I had before (and in San Jose there's a lot of choices). The beef tasted fresh, tender, the peppers were perfectly charred but not mushy. Ample cheese, fresh warm bread. Seasoned just right. I only regret not getting a backup sandwich for later. Definitely top notch food! read more

My friends and I swung by here for a quick cup of coffee in the morning. They seemed to have a decent selection of breakfast foods but we were seriously lacking caffeine. We ordered a variety of espresso drinks and headed back to our air bnb. I thought my latte was just okay but the real bummer was it wasn't hot! The ladies working here were really nice and it's a cute little spot but I wish my drink had been actually hot. read more

I placed a takeout order of 20 sandwiches for my team visiting Dillon Beach for a work offsite. The owner was so accommodating and had me text him my order the day before coming in. When I got there, the sandwiches were all ready to go. Not to mention, they were great. Everyone loved their sandwich. The one draw back is that they are cash only, so be sure to bring cash or be ready to eat the ATM fees from the one they have in the store. Thanks again for handling our crazy order! You were so great. read more

Great sandwiches! Perfect stop on the way back from Dillion beach or on the way for a picnic! Loved the veggie sandwich. Great service

Just a little place but their food was SO good!!! On our way back from the beach and we were hungry. Their menu is diverse and they have a lot to choose from. Our family ordered an egg salad sandwich, tri tip sandwich and a carnitas sandwich. Each one was delicious. The overall winner was definitely the carnitas sandwich. read more

Found this gem in the middle of a 100+ bike ride and it was the godsend meal I needed to keep pushing! The food was quick and delicious. Few places have such a variety of sandwiches and make them so well! I got the Summer Sandwich, with diced chicken, corn, avocado, and honey mustard it was an amazing combo I don't see around enough (incredibly refreshing) and all on an awesome sourdough baguette. Bread is usually the downfall of most sandwich shops I go to but this place had it down. Great seating in a separate room and nestled in a beautiful area - stop by on your way to the beach or Marin trails! read more

Stopped in for a bathroom break and a bagel. No wait, was it a bong and a blitz? Or was it a schmoke and a pancake? Come to think of it, shigar and a waffle? shigarette and a flapjack? Why can't I remember! In any case, the bathrooms were clean and the bagel satisfied us. Bladder and hunger needs fulfilled. Go team! read more

My turkey sandwich was awesome! They use really good sourdough bread, and are generous with the fillings. Wife had a Rueben which was also a solid sandwich. Only thing we didn't care for was the macaroni salad, which is just plain and boring. read more

The food was mediocre and bland. My veggie omelette needed some seasoning and the hot sauce only helped to a certain extent. At least it arrived in a timely manner. I was with two friends and one of them did not receive his meal until a full 15 minutes after the other dishes.- a very simple breakfast sandwich. Dubbed the Marin Mcmuffin, it was far from the gourmet farm to table goodness you would expect from a dish with that moniker. As noted by other reviewers, the girl at the register was not friendly at all. She barely interacted with us. My friends are in the service industry, so they made a point of dropping a nice wad of cash in the tip jar, but that did nothing to lift her spirits. Guess she cannot be bought. Later, my friend was chastised by her for helping himself to a free coffee refill. She tersely said - no free refills, there is a sign there! She did not even apologize when she realized the sign had fallen off the machine and was out of view. We apologized for trespassing against the coffee machine and wished her a pleasant day but as we were leaving I heard her complaining about the incident in Spanish (I'm fluent - si, hablo español). What a lackluster attitude. Oh well! Will not be back! read more

I got a real decent Reuben Sandwich here for lunch last Monday. Came here with three others. All of us had great food. The service was good and the prices were okay. I'll come again next time through. read more
