    Great place to go and hang out or have a delicious meal. Friendly atmosphere, affordable prices with affordability!

    This place is awesome. Some shaggy haired dude with a David Letterman smile made us the best sausage sandwich. Then he helped us pick out sausages to go. Can't wait to bbq them up. Great food and friendly people.

    Local Take: This Cayucos Deli, Butcher, & Sausage store is peerless when it comes to fine homemade Sandwiches, handcrafted sausages, & more. Even though I live within walking distance of a fine Italian Deli in Shell Beach, I will find almost any excuse to go 45 minutes out of my way to chat with Don [the master sausage crafter] and Junee [who runs the show], and of course eat a wonderful sandwich & grab some freshly crafted gourmet lean savory sausages to take home. Despite the Sausage name, they are so much more than sausages. This cute clean little store is packed with all kinds of goodness, which even includes some Deli items like Pickled Mushroom salad & local Negranti Sheepsmilk Ice-cream. They arguablable make some of the very best sandwiches in the entire SLO County. Forget boring factory made Deli mystery meats when you can have a sandwich filled with their delicious Roast Pork, with a side of a rack of ribs, plus a salad. I typically go for the local Rye Bread, Chipotle Mayo, Smoked Cheddar, & the other typical fixings of a superior sandwich. Not only is the made in house pork excellent, but their Ribs & Mary's Roast Chicken are amazing as well. Don has told me that he has been crafting and making sausages since he was about 12 years old and it really shows in his creations. Pretty much whatever sausage I can pick, I do like or love. He makes a wide variety, and spices & seasons them in a unique way...so you may find that more pedestrian varieties have a special savory twist here. He also makes some creations that are totally unique & cannot be found anywhere else. If you think Alle-pia, Cal-Poly, & some other SLOcal sausages are good [they are], Don goes a step further, & has exceeded almost any expectations. I do have an issue with many other sausages having too much fat, spices, or additives, but here I have not only can digest them fine, but love the texture, flavor, and bite. In addition to the Deli, Sausages, Sheepsmilk Ice-cream, Don also curates a really nice selection of fine meats & steaks...so it is also a fine little neighborhood butcher shop. Apparently Cayucos locals know about this place, but I have found that most locals, that are not Cayucos natives, generally do not have a clue about this amazing place. While many may feel it is a long trip to come here, it is not if you also combine this with a visit to any of the local Farmers Markets in the area, or are in the Morro Bay/Baywood area anyway. This is likely one of the few superior Deli's on the drive north. There are excellent Farmers Markets every Thursday [outside of Spencer's Morro Bay Market 2PM] or Mondays in quiet little Baywood....but a meal may not be complete without some great sausages or meat. While Morro Bay's Saturday Farmers Market has mainly crafts & little food, it can again be a good excuse to take a side trip up north a bit. In addition, Cambria also has a fine Friday 2PM Farmers Market & again, you can stop here in Cayucos, on the way there or back. If you happen to come to Cayucos, or are even driving by on Route 1, this is a total no-brainer....especially for locals. This place is one of our local small business treasures filled with fine eats and lovely friendly people. It definitely wins my coveted $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ LOCAL TAKE - GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ If you are visiting our wonderful area, please be mindful that this is not only our home, but that of all the natural wonders. Also be please be mindful that COVID is almost always a concern & please respect others wishes. Thank you!

    Lots of delicious products.

    I thought the young man behind the meat counter was rude. And the sandwiches are not that great.

He was knowledgeable and flexible when it came to planning the menu and the evening.

The food was flavorful and fresh and just exactly what we were hoping for. I would highly recommend Rich as a personal chef. If we are in the area for another celebration of this type we will definitely call Rich!!

You do feel as though you are in an Italian restaurant but there is a lot going on with the decor, from multi colored walls to a plate wall and random photos all around. Thankfully, we were so engrossed in our conversation and the amazing food, the chaotic decor did not detract from the experience. Our main server was Emma. We learned she has worked there for 10 years and she obviously is good at what she does and must love it a whole bunch. She was on every detail with our table and many around us. It was a fairly busy night but manageable. We ordered several different things from the menu and about 3 different bottles of wine. Emma came to the rescue to discuss and help make choices along the way. My order was the mushroom raviolis and it was so delicious. Everyone raved about their meal. Generous portions. You might want to sit your meal if you want dessert. You will not regret any dinner you have at this place. I'm already thinking ahead to when I can order those raviolis again. Yum!

The wife had roasted eggplant and I had the pork saltimbocca which were both tasty and generous in the portions. I noticed that a fair number of people took take-away boxes as did we. What threw things off was the terrible acoustics. All hard surfaces in a fairly small space meant that the any conversation anywhere added to a very high noise level even when the restaurant was only 2/3 full. And when people left towards the end of the night the musak was even worse, no clarity whatsoever just noise. It was difficult to carry on a normal conversation without leaning in to hear each other. We'll go back again, but just making sure that we sit outside.

I was craving something savory, so I ordered the Pain Bijou, the ham and cheese croissant, and a blueberry muffin. There was a long line, but the food came out quickly once we ordered. This place sells out, and they were already out of a few pastries. I was told I ordered the last ham and cheese croissant at about 9:30 a.m. on a Saturday. We enjoyed the blueberry muffin while we waited. It was filled with huge blueberries and had the perfect balance of sweetness. It was not too heavy and instantly became a favorite. The Pain Bijou was delicious and reminded me of the flavors of a sausage biscuits and gravy breakfast. The ham and cheese croissant was really good, but for two people we probably could have just stuck with the Pain Bijou and the muffin. I look forward to coming back the next time we are in Cayucos.

The eggs were fluffy and creamy, the pastries were perfectly flaky, and every bite tasted fresh and homemade. The strawberry scone and almond croissant were especially delicious! I had a lovely tea and cappuccino while sitting on the cute patio area, which was spacious, relaxing, and very walkable to the beach. The service was wonderful too -- the ladies working there were so friendly and welcoming, and they had great music playing that made the whole atmosphere feel cozy and happy. You can really tell this place is locally owned and made with a lot of love. While we were in line looking over the menu, the staff greeted several customers by name and already knew their orders, which made it feel like such a genuine community favorite. Everything was top-notch -- 10/10, would absolutely recommend if you're visiting Cayucos!

I think it's offset by knowing that the produce & meats are very high quality. We were staying nearby and needed to pick up a few items for our stay and decided to check out Spencer's. I'm glad we did. It's such a lovely community market. And they had a small farmer's market going on just outside that added a whole different shopping experience where we were able to pick up some things that we knew were grown locally. The selection isn't as massive as a chain market, but they will have just about everything you would ever need. From cereal to alcohol they have it all. The customers here were all so lovely. Several times we walked by a few just chatting away. You can tell that this is a local gathering place for the locals and that only adds to the charm. The employees are nice. Once again, they feel like they're all locals. It was a short trip for us to pick up essentials. But it only took that short trip to fall in love with this place. We are in the area maybe once a week and we will absolutely be coming here every time we stay from here on out.
