Amazing addition to the neighborhood. Opens at 8 am so it's the best place to get a coffee (Lavazza) by the beach! Their prices are extremely reasonable and their sandwich's and deserts are very recommended. read more

This place is great so happy to have something like this and Aptos. When you walk in you feel like you're walking into a deli in little Italy in San Francisco is so cute so unique. My son and I got three different types of sandwiches. Couldn't even tell you the name of them, but they were all amazing! All the young kids that work there were super helpful, very friendly and did a great job making all of our sandwiches. I will definitely be returning and letting people know in Aptos where to get a great sandwich. read more

They were both fantastic and of course the service was wonderful they are always great and very friendly to me and my dog loves coming here! read more

Charming, homey Italian deli in Aptos. A new outpost of a popular Felton cafe, beloved by locals. Sit outside or grab your picnic essentials for a beach day, -- sandwiches; salads; breakfast burritos; baked goods; espresso; smoothies; drinks; snacks. I loved the breakfast burrito. Seasoned potatoes and spicy salsa made it tasty. The Take Me To The Church sandwich, a play on caprese, was nicely zingy with balsamic vinegar and garlicky pesto. Fresh baked muffins, pastries and Italian desserts looked irresistible, gleaming in the display case. We tried the Nutella muffin, apricot croissant and bombolini with lemon cream. All lovely (if decadent). Currently in a soft opening phase. They are getting a lot of hype and interest so wait times might be long. The staff is upbeat and friendly. The owner Chris was so sweet. She advised to call ahead to place your order, so you don't have to wait! read more

We truly enjoyed lunch at Castelli's and we will return whenever we are in the area again! The sandwiches were excellent and the customer service was bar none!! The outdoor seating is perfect for this coastal deli! read more

I was at a ham radio event last month at Seacliff State Beach, Cali, and someone brought some yummy sandwiches from this deli. It's near one of our favorite restaurants, Manual's so I checked out their web site. Lo and behold, an Italian deli providing a St Patrick's day meal to go. Italian - Irish? Who knew? I put my name in for a couple of meals and picked them up in time for dinner. We were upsold on some cannoli for dessert. no problem there when the deli had so many choices. The staff were very friendly and attentive. This is a go-to place for treats, sandwiches, meals & desserts. Got home, plopped the food in the oven for warming, 30 minutes later we had an absolutely delicious meal. The corned beef was tender, and tasty. Hats off to Castelli's for that, and the whole meal. The cannoli, well; Gone in a New York minute. Try it, you'll like it. 2 thumbs up. read more

Castelli's Caffe & Deli - Avocado bagel with turkey - Sandwiches Near Me - Aptos, California

Great new place well hidden but worth the effort. Excellent sandwich and espresso. Highly recommend

Bummer. I SOOOOOO wanted to love them and have a new place to grab food +beach. We got a croissant breakfast sandwich and sliced a sourdough breakfast sandwich. ZERO toasting on either sandwich. The egg was a sponge texture. Neither was edible. We also ordered the Cement (to-go). The bread was stale and had mold on it. NOTE: This sandwich is supposed to be toasted. We planned to toast it later. I don't think I will go back. Maybe we hit an off day. read more

The coffee cake muffin is compelling me to write this review. I was skeptical at first it looked a little dry and crusty but omg it was by far one of the best muffins I've ever had. So moist on the inside, had little clusters of the crumble on the inside. I would go back for just the muffin alone. Service was also very nice and friendly. read more

The Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich is out of this world! I finished the whole thing insanely fast. I have found my new favorite sammy.

Chicken Bacon Ranch Sandwich. The amount of ranch on this sandwich was gross. Nobody wants this much ranch on anything. This looks nothing like the photos on their website and DoorDash. This was not an edible sandwich. You guys can do better. read more

Where do I even start? This place was great, and the service was great. Chicken bacon sandwich was a solid 9/10. Bread was killer and the there was a hunk of bacon. Would recommend if stopping by after the beach! read more

What a great coffee shop and deli. My husband and I had a sausage breakfast burrito and it was delicious! The owners are super warm and welcoming. Also it's great that it's just a 2 minute walk to the beach. I highly recommend Castelli's and can't wait to come back. We ate locals so it won't be long. read more

I want this place to be so good because I'm nearby. But it's not. It's slow, has way too many employees that don't knock it out, and the food is mediocre. BUMMER. read more

I myself reside in the valley, Santa Clara county, but when I'm visiting my girlfriend in Aptos, Castelli's breakfast sandwich in Seacliff, is a must. It is prepared super fresh, quick, and piping hot! There is always a full attentive staff, even if it is a counter order establishment. They bring everything to you, outside or in, right to your hands. read more

One of the best little places in town! The food is absolutely delicious, coffee is amazing. Great service! The owner is usually if not always on site. I would absolutely recommend and will continue to return! read more

Finally a good sandwich spot near the beach in Aptos!! Although we kept it simple, both our sandwiches were amazing. It's my second time trying their meatball sub (the Pantheon) and it might be my new favorite comfort food lunch!! The turkey + avo is simple but you can tell how fresh the ingredients are. Can't wait to try their imported Italian desserts next! read more

Nice to have another casual eatery option by Seacliff State Park. Located behind Manuel's Mexican and facing the Seacliff State Park Cliff parking area. Mainly grab and go with a few high top bar tables inside and a few patio tables out front. Selection of deli sandwiches, breakfast items, bakery, coffees and grab and go items. We tried... * Hot Pastrami with pepper jack - Not quite what I was expecting. Pastrami in the middle was warm and tasty, but a bit too much bread with the lukewarm Sweet French roll for me. (I was expecting something like the Reefie at Reef Dog Deli Capitola and this just didn't compare.) I think next time I'll try the Reuben. * Nonna's Caprese on Gluten Free Bread - This was the surprisingly yummy sandwich. Slices of delicious turkey, mozzarella, pesto and tomato on a really good gluten free bread reminiscent of an artisan sprouted grain bread (versus the usual Francese Roll). This sandwich alone will bring us back to try more items. Friendly & helpful service. As long as it isn't too crowded, the wait of 10-15 minutes was reasonable. read more

Found this hidden gem for a quick and delicious breakfast before our trip to Monterey. Breakfast sandwiches were delicious and portions were more than expected including the avocado toast. The French toast dips were scrumptious and paired with a perfectly made Americano. Customer service was excellent and friendly. Prices were very reasonable for the quality and portions which will not disappoint you. Cheers to the owners and staff! read more

Castelli's Caffe & Deli - Outside seating. - Sandwiches Near Me - Aptos, California

The food is great. The service is super friendly. The ambiance is also nice and the place has an appealing new/modern design. I love this place but I stopped going after three visits. Why? Too slow! If there are more than a few people in line, it takes FOREVER to get your food. I visited three times during their first month after opening and each time I had to wait nearly 20 minutes for my order to be fulfilled. Yes, it was crowded but still - it's a deli for crying out loud - people don't expect to wait 15-20 minutes for food -- time most people don't have, especially during work. This is a huge problem and they are going to have to streamline their workflow/operations to be successful. I will gladly return when/if things improve. read more

Very welcoming atmosphere when you walk in. Always busy. For those who do not have time to wait, call ahead and pick up. Great food. Amazing staff. Highly recommend. read more

40 minutes to make three sandwichs. Only one person in line and two couples eating. Go Manuels instead.

Love it. Food is delicious. My favorite is the sunken ship. The people are friendly. They are truly dog people. They have water bowls and dog treats for your fur-babies. Casual relaxed atmosphere. read more

Love this place! My Pantheon meatball sandwich was amazing! They have the best sandwiches but their breakfast items and coffees are great as well. Located right behind Manuel's makes them easy to find. Try it! read more

Came in on Monday afternoon to get my favorite sandwich and was greeted with the most wonderful customer service. Our sandwich was out in minutes and was perfectly toasty. My friend and I split the Nona's Caprese and it was delicious- almost as delicious as the young man taking our order!! Will certainly be back !! read more

Had the pastrami sandwhich and it was god awful. Took them 20 minutes to make. Asked them for no pickle and extra onion and they put no onion and extra pickles. The pastrami was like salty bubblegum. Think it was because those goobers working there were too busy talking like it was comic con talking about Anime and video games nobody plays or likes. Maybe if they touched grass they could make a better sandwich. Not authentic in the slightest. Just because you sell biscotti and Italian candy on a case doesn't make it so. Waste of gas and time. Subway makes a better hot pastrami read more

Horrible service. I went to go get a bagel this morning. I got there at 11:55pm and there was a long line so it was 12pm when I got up to the front to order. The person right in front of me ordered from the breakfast menu with no problem, but when I asked just for a plain bagel and cream cheese from the breakfast menu they told me no even though the guy in front of me ordered it from it. Originally after explaining what happened to the cashier she said she can get me a bagel but then a guy from the back came up to her and said we can't order from the breakfast menu anymore because they put everything away. At this point it was 12:02pm, after waiting in line and just wanting a plain bagel I was extremely frustrated. read more

I'm hooked on getting through the whole menu. Every time I drive through I make a point to stop. Sandwiches are plump with eats. While you wait take a look at the grab and go. Well, maybe you'll add a dessert to go with your lunch or breakfast. lol Everything looks fresh and clean. Nice patio although I haven't stayed. Ordering is easy and always with a smile. read more

Love this place - local friendly family and great food in a great location. You won't be disappointed.

Found this little Italian Deli today after work.Cars were trying to park close to get in ,the tables outside were full . But no line around 2:00 today. A line quickly formed behind me as a phone order was happening. My first impression was the high standards of sanitation here.Sparkling clean shiny display case ,kitchen and counters.I ordered the Caprese sandwich with veggie option. Served warm ,cut and wrapped .It was great . read more

Will try again. Came when opened a few weeks. Wait was over 45 min for a sandwich. Only a few patrons outside. They directed me to the grab n go. Meh. I will try again some other time and hopefully get a chance to try the real deal. read more

Great little caffe and Deli with lots of options for a quick bite. We got an Americano, chai, and a couple breakfast bagel sandwiches. Everything came out quickly and was very tasty. We were greeted as soon as we stepped in and the gal taking our order was helpful and polite. Everyone there was very polite, friendly and provided great customer service, which is rare these days. They have a couple tables outside with shade, but the location is great for pick up and taking down to a bench overlooking the beach as well. read more
