Staff was AMAZING! Multiple menu options. Lovette was extremely helpful and attentive. Would definitely recommend when you are in the DTSD area. Hit them up before or after a Padre game read more

Found them on Yelp after arriving to my hotel for a convention. They weren't the closest by any means BUT they had the best reviews, so the extra 15 minute walk was more than ok with me! Holy cow, I woulda walked 3x that long if I had to for their spectacular sandwich!! Not only that, the people working were all super nice. Like a jerk, I cannot remember my guy's name but he had a nice, full beard and hooked me up with a free dessert just to be nice. Extra cherry on top was the Kona beer on tap! Highly recommend to locals and anyone visiting SD! read more

I've had better French dips at Arby's. This sandwich was awful! I ate maybe 2 bites and then threw it in the trash. The meat was cut way too thick, and was rubbery, not tender at all. The Au jus had no flavor other than salt. My wife got the same thing and she threw hers away too. Hard pass on this if a French dip is what you want. read more

Stopped here as I was around downtown walking around. Pretty large menu and they serve breakfast lunch and dinner all day. Also serve smoothies, flatbreads and wraps. Little beer on tap selection but no idea what they were. Place seems fairly new and is still getting their feet under them, but it's definitely worth a try. Staff is great and friendly, food came out fairly quickly. Some outdoor seating and a few spots inside so maybe more of a grab and go spot, but overall pleased and I'll come back. read more

Delicious sandwiches! And service was great! My girlfriend and I wanted to grab a bite to eat after the zoo and this place hit the spot! 10/10 recommend! read more

First of all, Chef Alan and the manager (sorry, I didn't get his name as we had a casual conversation on the patio after he was off work) were welcoming and made me feel like part of their family. The menu is full of choices to fit every palate and food preference. Now to the food! YUMMY! I ordered the French Dip and the Pepperoni and Mushroom flatbread. Both were fantastic. The French Dip has a nice little surprise with fried onions on the sandwich - nice added texture. The jus was tasty, perfectly seasoned and delicious with the sandwich. The meat on the sandwich was also tasty, not fatty at all (which I am always worried about!). It was tender and again, the seasoning was perfect! The flatbread - Chef Alan asked if he could put the mushrooms under and of course, I said yes. He shared this one little modification would keep the mushrooms firm and delicious and he was right. The flatbread was covered in cheese, pepperoni, and mushroom caps. SOOOOO good! It's a little place on the corner, near Petco Park, and it's so worth every penny and if there is a wait, the wait... I am a bit worried as I live 2 blocks away and it could become a new addiction pretty quick! read more

Cloud 9 Deli - Many options - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

I really love this deli because they use fresh ingredients and have plenty of options! The workers are friendly and the ambiance is nice. It's usually crowded during lunch and before Padres games. Their burger is really tasty and the meat is high quality. The sandwiches are full of flavor and refreshing. It's nice that they offer clear to-go containers so you can take the food in to Petco Park. I have been here twice now and I will continue to visit for a delicious meal! Definitely check it out if you are in the downtown area. read more

My husband walked by this place, popped his head in, and looked at the menu. Then he asked what was good to the person behind the counter. He said, "Everything!" My husband asked about organic ingredients and the guy said, "the veggies are organic." My husband asked about the meat. The guy kind of shrugged and shook his head. However, my husband came back to the hotel room and said that we needed to eat there. So the following morning, we did. We walked over from the hotel we were staying at. Cloud 9 is located in the East Village down the street from Petco Park. We ordered the Pastrami & Egg sandwich, the Steak & Egg sandwich, and a Pecan bar. We had a nice conversation with the guy (different employee) at the counter and waited for our food to be ready. I didn't realize that they had just opened in the last few months. Let me just say, we wish we had a deli like this in our own neighborhood. This place is legit good. We cut our sandwiches in two and shared. Both were really good but the pastrami & egg was the favorite of the two. I really liked the soft brioche, crispy hash brown, and savory pastrami. It was a really nice combination. Plus, each sandwich came with a small fresh fruit cup. The pecan bar was a little on the sweet side and I could only manage a bite or two at a time. The service is 5 stars and the food is off the charts good. We hope to revisit when we are in San Diego again. read more

I came back to give em another chance. I had a lovely time with my coworkers & I ordered online again; it came on time and I got to eat in their patio area. Their patio area is very clean and the service was fantastic; they were quick to make sure we had what we needed and then to take our plates/bus our table before we could even exit the patio area. The food didn't come out burnt this time and tasted great! read more

Pretty darn good sando BUT highly recommend you order ahead or prepare to wait. Placed my order at 12:17 (fully acknowledge this qualifies as lunch rush time) and didn't walk out with my to-go sandwich until 12:53. They warned me it would take about 15 min which I was fine with but nearly 40 minutes for a lunch spot downtown is pretty wild. Besides myself there were several other antsy people waiting. I had the steak sandwich and I will say, it was delicious. read more

Cloud 9 Deli - Filet Mignon Club - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

Opened for less than two weeks, the ownership of Pepper Farm Deli (PFD) in Santee has replaced a bagel shop in the East Village with Cloud 9 Deli. This area of downtown near Petco Park can be hit or miss with curbside parking depending if there is an event at the baseball stadium. Seating was limited to a few tables outside on the sidewalk and several more inside the suite. Five tall menu screens hung above the service counter with a vast array of choices. According to the owner (John), the selection here was less than PFD. Starting from the right screen and moving to the left, there were breakfast items, smoothies, soups, flatbreads, sides, salads, wraps, cold sandwiches, low carb plates, chicken classics, burger creations, and hot sandwiches. That seemed like a comprehensive set of offerings to me. From the list of nine cold sandwiches, I chose the Cloud 9 Beef Grinder. The ingredients were London broil roast beef, havarti cheese, romaine lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, bell peppers, pepperoncinis, and pickled onions on a Dutch crunch roll. The sandwich was cut in half and placed inside a clear plastic takeout container with a dill pickle spear included. The meat was thinly sliced and layered in between all of the other components. The pepperoncinis and pickled onions added sharp bursts of tartness to cut through the protein and carbs. The crunch of the bread provided texture and chewiness. For the value and quality of my sandwich, I gave my visit to Cloud 9 Deli a rating of 4.5 stars. read more

East Villagers here is a new lunch spot to add to your faves! I have been here 3 times and the food has been great and the guy at the counter is always so cheerful, and very helpful regarding the menu. Speaking of the menu, it's actually pretty large for such a small spot! The first time I came across it i thought it was some convenience store lol. Not only can you order amazing sandwiches, but they have pizza, burgers, plates, salads, desserts, macaroni and potato salads, soups. It's definitely geared more towards us meat eaters for sure, but some options are meatless and they have smoothies too! I've tried the filet mignon sandwich which wasn't quite as big as the picture online, but I really enjoyed it as the meat was so tender and had some good flavor to it. The Cloud 9 burger was juicy, and huge! I couldn't quite finish it although I tried because it was so tasty. The side of fries may have filled me up also, which I think we're pretty solid as well. I've also tried the macaroni salad which they do make in house, and I would definitely recommend trying it if you like that sort of thing. It had a tang to it that was just the right amount for me. This place is definitely one of my new faves and I plan to try different items each time I go, as so far everything has tasted great. read more

Cloud 9 Deli - Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Sandwich - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

I often pass by this spot while walking my dogs, and it's always bustling with people. After seeing their great Yelp reviews, I decided to check it out. I stopped by around 4:30 PM on a Thursday and found plenty of seating available--both inside and in two covered outdoor areas. I ordered the Cubano sandwich along with a Pupil IPA. The food was brought out to me, and they even gave bacon to my dogs, which was such a nice touch. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the food was outstanding. The portion was generous, but it was so tasty I couldn't resist finishing it all. Between the delicious food, welcoming service, and fair prices, I highly recommend this place. read more

Pepper Farm Deli has recently opened their sister deli in downtown San Diego. Cloud 9 Deli is off to a big start with amazing gourmet sandwiches, delicious wraps, toasts, salads, flat breads, smoothies, and terrific breakfast items. I had one of my favorite breakfast wraps known as the Big City Wrap, which comes with "smoked Boar's Head ham, Boar's Head thick bacon, eggs, hash brown, avocado, Swiss cheese, chipotle sauce, and garlic aioli all wrapped in a griddles flour tortilla. The breakfast wrap was absolutely delicious and quite filling. The scrambled eggs were not only well scrambled but well seasoned and delicious. I loved the flavor of quality ham and bacon. The creamy chipotle sauce took the breakfast wrap over the top. The service was very welcoming and friendly. They offer comfortable seating inside and outside. If you work downtown or make downtown your destination often. You love Cloud 9 Deli. read more

I had one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever experienced in life here. It was worth every penny.

I order from here constantly. They have never let me down from food quality and tasty options. Great selection, and here's to hoping they add more! read more

I am so delighted this place has finally opened! East village needed a deli like this and Cloud 9 has already surpassed all my expectations! I went on Friday, the day after they opened, and was greeted with the friendliest staff that took the time to learn my name and give appreciation for my visit. They gave me a free tomato soup to try (which was great!) and I got the chicken Caesar wrap which was also delicious. I even went back two days later to try their breakfast, I can already see myself becoming a regular here! read more

I'm a regular and it's because I live in the area and the food is pretty good. However, it can take over 30 min from preordering to receive my order. Sometimes they forget something on the side etc and act annoyed if you remind them. read more

Sandwiches are delicious, but the prices have increased substantially in the last couple months. Same with most places, but a $4 or $5 increase in a couple months is pretty crazy. My go-to was the filet mignon club, but it's almost $20 now. The godfather was my backup, now my primary. Still, the sandwiches are delicious. read more

I live downtown and this is one of our go to spots. I've had a variety of things from there (French dip, Cubano, chicken pesto flatbread, tuna wrap, crispy Chipotle chicken sandwich, filet sandwich , filet breakfast sandwich, sausage breakfast sandwich, the godfather, fries). Everything is delicious but their French dip is incredible. I love that their fruit cups are fresh too! We live getting their cakes as well. Wait time can be 15-25 minutes so make sure you order ahead! Also always love the music they play in there and their staff is awesome. read more

Stopped in here randomly bc who doesn't love a good deli. Lots of variety on the menu. Hot & cold sandwiches. Smoothies. Flat breads. Ordered the cold "cloud 9 beef grinder" - bomb. Literally already told the HGs about it (we all live in or near downtown). Will be retur read more

We chose Cloud 9 to provide catering for a private flight. They made ordering quick and easy. The wraps looked delicious.

Ahi tuna steak sandwich was terrific---up there with top 10 ever. Fought with hubby over chocolate cake division!

it was near 2 o'clock and close to closing on a Sunday afternoon so I'm sure they had had a busy day but they were not interested in selling another cup of coffee to me. He knows why. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect. This is what I've been looking for in the neighborhood. Large menu. Executed well from what I've tried. Nothing over the top ...except the lobster roll on the menu just seems out of place. Service is focused. Small place. Order online for grab n go! read more

I was downtown prior to attending the Padres game. Thought I would try something new rather than the food served in the stadium. Came across Cloud Nine Deli and decided to try it. It was my first time there, and it took me a while to decide what to try. Not due to lack of selection, but more how expensive the menu is. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich more so because it had bacon on it. I'm not sure if it was the bacon or the chicken but something didn't taste right. I thought maybe it was just me, and if I ate more, it would get better. It did not and I paid the price for it later. The sandwich was overpriced at $16.15. I will say the server Jazmine was extremely friendly, patient, and genuinely nice. I'm always open to trying new food, places and supporting local and independently owned small businesses. Unfortunately, this wasn't a good experience for me, I won't be returning and can't recommend it. read more

This review is way overdue because Cloud 9 Deli is truly amazing! Everything here is top-notch, the sandwiches are fresh and packed with flavor, the soups and salads are just as good, and you can tell a lot of care goes into every dish. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, which makes the place feel even better. One experience that really stuck with me: one of the managers (maybe even the owner) personally walked my order down to me after a Grubhub driver left with the wrong food while I was stuck on a work call. That level of kindness and service is rare these days and says a lot about how much they care about their customers. Cloud 9 is easily one of the best delis around, and I'm glad I finally wrote the review they deserve! read more

A professionally run deli. These people are smart, know the business, and care about their customers! Had an enjoyable first visit with a friend today. Good food carefully prepared In generous portions. Attentive countermen. What a refreshing change from chain restaurants staffed by imbeciles who just don't care! At the intersection of 10th and Island Ave in downtown San Diego. Try it. You'll like it - I'm sure. read more

Great sandwich place with lots of options. We ordered the Italian cosca, perfect amount and ingredient combinations, fresh and flavorful. Got the fries as a side, SO good! I love fries and these were perfect, crispy, not greasy and right size. I ordered online for pickup, but the restaurant has a very cute outdoor seating area. Will return next time I'm in the area! read more

Delicious pre-Padres sandwiches!! Staff friendly and helpful. Two thumbs up Great place for out of town visitors!

Nice little deli serving boars head cold cuts! I placed an online order the day before and my order was ready within a few minutes when I arrived. The sandwiches are huge! My husband got the big Italian goombah and really enjoyed it! I got the Greenbird, which was also good, I just would've liked the sourdough bread toasted more. They have a large menu of salads, plates, wraps, and sandwiches. I'll definitely be back to try some other items. read more
