Henry Cowell Club Sandwich. YUM!!! (Sorry, I ate the other half before taking the photo)
Andrew F.

I love this market, and it's my go-to stop for beverages and occasional sandwiches when out and about on my motorcycle near BC. I'm finally writing a review because I stopped there last week and I was starving. I walked to the back deli counter and checked out the menu on the wall of their specialty sandwiches. The Henry Cowell Club jumped out at me and it was perfect. I didn't need to change a thing, and I ordered one from the friendly young lady who helped me. After ordering, I walked up to the beverage case and grabbed something to drink, then returned to retrieve my order, which was damn near done and ready when I got back there. That was fast! (*they weren't busy) I thanked the sandwich master and went to the front to pay for my stuff. The cashier was equally friendly, as were the other customers. A woman was in front of me with a cart full of items and she allowed me to go ahead of her. Very kind. I paid. I thanked. I departed for the coast where I was going to eat this masterpiece. When I got there and unwrapped the sandwich, all I could smell was bacon and fresh bread. It looked delicious, and it tasted even better. Fresh soft bread, thick bacon, tender turkey, crispy fresh produce, and just the right amount of everything. I thoroughly enjoyed the sandwich as I sat on the rocks overlooking Waddell Creek Beach. Looking forward to trying one of their other specialty sammies next time! Store is VERY clean and welcoming. The only thing I knock them for is the prices could be a bit lower. $10 for a sandwich is pretty steep, and it didn't have very much turkey in it for that price. Either lower the price, or add a couple more slices of meat.

the sandwiches are super yummy and the sushi is fresh. I go for lunch all the time and they have a lot of other healthy options!

Best deli sandwiches ever!!!!! Here is a pic of my rainbow chicken salad sandwich on toasted gluten free bread. The staff is wonderful and takes COVID seriously and I feel safer shopping here than at Felton Wild Roots. Thanks y'all!!!

Expect more, pay more. It's nice not having to drive into Santa Cruz for organics. Wish the vegetables (lettuce) was fresher.

Good selection of vegan and plant-based goods! There's also some prepared foods, including a case with sushi and sandwiches.

This is a nice local market with an awesome deli and a few tables and chairs outside. They are…read moresimilar to Whole Foods, but a little smaller and more heavily leaning in the natural/organic direction. As you enter, you'll see the produce section, which is neat and very fresh looking. I bought a pack of avocados and each one was perfect. There are the usual market items (like meats, seafoods, chips, etc.), but few (if any) national brands. They also have some dinnerware, like bowls and such, made by local artisans. They looked really nice, and I was tempted to buy some but resisted. The star, though, is their deli. There's a good selection of premade sandwiches, salads, sushi, baked goods, and some hot food items. You can also have sandwiches made to order. They have a few "signature" sandwiches, but you can also build your own. My only small complaint is they only have vegan mayo. It's not bad, and not very noticeable, but it lacks the creaminess and flavor of real mayo. What we ordered: + Roaring Camp signature sandwich - this is turkey with cranberry relish on your choice of bread (I chose sliced sourdough). It was excellent. + Custom sandwich on sourdough roll - the roll was fantastic; slightly soft and chewy. Sandwich was excellent. + Potato salad - this was very dill heavy and a little runny (vegan mayo?), but after a few bites, it really grew on us. By the end, we were loving it. Everyone we encountered was very chill and friendly.

Outstanding local market in tiny Felton…read more This has a great crunchy vibe. Natural and healthy foods and loads of craft beer ( if you are feeling crafty). Organic all the way for many products here. I got a sandwich for a picnic. What a wonderful experience. The service was friendly and efficient. They don't add a lot of salt and pepper on the same, so feel free to pick up some packets if you are feeling particularly salty.

Bread is medium soft on the inside but slightly crumbly / crackly on the outside. Not tough like sourdough but not mushy like wonder bread. The artichokes in the middle of the bread were just a tad bit soggy but tasted good The bread itself is not super flavorful but pairs really well and is great as sandwich material

I have come here with my cycling group quite a few times. They sell half sandwiches for $9.99 or full sandwiches for $14.99; there are also specialty sandwiches which only come in full-size and are a few dollars extra. The half sandwich feels like slightly more food than half of a full sandwich, so I would recommend getting the half if you have any big climbs coming up, to avoid an upset stomach. They also have several notable specialties like the artichoke bread; it tastes best fresh (and is served warm), so you should come here with a group and finish it in one sitting. They also have various homemade jarred foods, which I haven't had the chance to get since I've never been here in a car. There is an outdoor seating area in the back with tables and porta-potties, making it a popular place for cycling groups to gather for lunch. There is ample space for you to rest your bike against trees, fences, etc. There is also running water at the front right of the building for your water bottles.
