I was attending a meeting a few blocks away and the organizers offered to fetch us lunch from this…read moredeli if we'd order and pay in advance. The online ordering system was not working - it balked at payment - so I phoned them and ordered that way. On the day, we got a pile of plastic bags each labeled with our name, and inside mine I found my hot sandwich, still pretty warm, inside a foil wrapper. Mine was the Italian melt, lots of different kinds of meat plus provolone and a little onion and pepperocini and a mildly spicy marinara sauce lightly dabbed in. It was not too thick but nicely dense, as well as delicious, with a well chosen mix of ingredients. I didn't want too much bread, so I ordered it on marble rye, and that turned out to be fairly thin, not overwhelming, and also strongly and delightfully flavored. I'm not ordinarily big on deli sandwiches - I don't think they have much else - but this was a major find.

Stopped here at around 1:20PM on a Sunday, and it was moderately busy…read more Really friendly staff, family owned (I think) and a good amount of seating inside. There is a bathroom that you must ask for a key to. Once 1:30 rolled around, I was excited to try my sandwich given the great reviews, then came 1:40, then 1:50, and I did not have my sandwich until around 1:55. I worked in a sandwich shop for 3 years, so I know sometimes a wait is unavoidable and can recall dealing with rude customers, so I did not approach the staff regarding the wait. They were trying their best to accommodate the orders. However-- 35 minutes for 2 sandwiches, I think, is a little excessive. In the end, my sandwiches were spectacular, genuinely well crafted, and met (maybe even surpassed) my expectations. When I got back to my car, I noticed the worker (owner?) gave me a full sandwich despite me ordering half. I wasn't sure if this was purposeful as means of saying "our bad", or just a mistake, but I will say it left me in better spirits. If you have some extra time to kill, with friends etc., this is a must try. However, if you are on ANY sort of time restriction, I would not recommend stopping here. I'm sure this is not always the case, but as a stop on a long drive, I did not consider an extra 45 minutes for a sandwich. If the owners are reading this, I truly mean well and hope you know a long wait is a sign of success. Growth is inevitable!

BRUH. F O O D…read moreFiyaaaaahhh Went here post hike and pickleball to fuel up on their sandwiches and cookies. We got their roast beef and cubano and let me tell you, they DID NOT disappoint. We agreed that the Cuban took the cake but both had lots of flavor to offer. Then for our sweet tooth, the cowboy cookie & oatmeal cranberry toffee cookie. Both were delicious, crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. S E R V I C E Great! Quick, efficient and we got our food out pretty quick considering the lines were crazy at that time. We went around 11 but there was still lots of places to sit and enjoy our food outside. A M B I E N C E One of the many cute market/delis that are here on the west shore of Tahoe. They got a little market with groceries, wine/beer, and goods. A coffee/bake house counter and outdoor seating area that's both shaded and not. There's also blankets out there to use for colder times.

Very charming neighborhood market…read more My review is based solely on what I tried - a scorching hot honey latte that, unfortunately, I didn't enjoy. The coffee was so hot it actually burned my poor tongue. It was also a bit bitter and not very creamy, with none of the warm honey notes I was hoping for. It was a bummer, because judging by the look and vibe of the store, I expected to love it. That said, the market itself couldn't be more rustic and beautiful. It's filled with genuinely great looking items: handmade sandwiches, cheeses, baked goods, wine, gelato, and organic produce. Everything looked stellar. I asked the guy behind the coffee bar what beans they use, but he didn't know. I'd definitely return to try the food or grab a few things for a lake picnic, but I'm skipping the coffee - 2.5 stars if I could.

We visited on a Sunday (the Sunday of Western States Endurance Run) and it was hopping. Barely a spot in the lot yet fortunately we arrived as someone strategically positioned for us was moving out. There were lines to order foods to-go or to possibly find a place at one of their few outdoor under cover tables, there are possibly 20 in all. The market is extensive and creatively designed with goods positioned just right. The extremely busy staff was calm and friendly and made us feel welcome. We will visit again, next time there for another run/race, whether it's a birthday weekend or not. The pie was amazing. Not too sweet and the flavors blended perfectly.
