Hands-down, the best deli I've ever been to. Sandwiches are huge and delicious. They have exotic chips, soda, and sweet treats. Without a doubt, I'll come back here every time I'm in Monterey. Bennett the owner is also a very nice man read more

Best sandwich spot ever. It was so good stopping by and enjoying our food at the beach. I didn't go inside, my family did and the said the gentlemen behind the counter was funny and very nice. The bread on this sandwich was amazing. The best bread I had ever had. It's easy to miss as the storefront is in a residential neighborhood and parking is limited. read more

Compagno's Market & Deli - Dutch crunch bread - Delis Near Me - Monterey, California

An easily camouflaged building amongst neighborhood houses, Compagno's is a must for an action-packed day - we had a full schedule of hikes from Point Lobos to Big Sur and Compagno's made for the perfect on-the-go packed lunch and dinner (we both got the whole size and ate half each meal... the size of these sandwiches is no joke). It's Veteran owned and that's made loud and proud by the names of the specials (named after each branch in the military) and the interior decor. There's clipboards on the table in front of the shop that you fill out and bring to the deli counter where they make your sandwich, call your name, and ring you up at the register. I had the Marine special (chicken breast, bacon, Cesar dressing, melted pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickle) on Dutch crunch and my significant other had the Space Force (a newer variation of the chicken sandwich with Chick-fil-a Polynesian sauce). They also had a ton of chips and drinks inside the market for you to pair with your sammies! read more

Company Market Deli was super tasty and the perfect hole-in-the-wall sandwich spot. If you're craving a small, local deli that knows how to make a great sandwich and customize it exactly to your liking, this is the place. You start by choosing from more than 20 sandwich options, and the portions are generous enough to share or tackle yourself if you're feeling extra hungry! They also have a great selection of beverages and plenty of chip options to round out your meal. Overall, it's a fantastic neighborhood spot with delicious sandwiches, friendly service, and that classic local deli feel that keeps you coming back. read more

This place hits the spot. Grab a clipboard and pen and write down your order and put in on the counter in the back for the team to start making your sandwich. I got the #2, was so good. I got it with pesto mayo and it was amazing. The sandwiches are massive, a whole can easily be split by 2 people. Get a large sandwich, bag of chips and then go enjoy some yummy food on the beach. The cake looked amazing but I didn't get to try it. Next time! read more

Monterey is coming in hot with their food places! This delicious sandwich spot was located inside of a corner store and really gives a small town vibe.

My husband and son and I went to eat lunch at Compagnos last week while staying in Monterey. My husband has eaten here often and he recommended we have lunch there. When I walked in it took me back in time to when I was a little girl going into a market with my grandparents back in the 60's-70's. The owner, Bennett, was at the register. He was checking orders and confirming what we ordered. He knew many of his customers by name and knew their regular orders. The sandwiches were HUGE so I ordered 1/2 a sandwich and I only finished 1/3 of the 1/2 sandwich. My husband and son ordered full sandwiches and only finished half of theirs. We took the rest home. Great place. Great food. Friendly owner. Loved it. Highly recommend!!! read more

Wow, this sandwich blew my mind, I absolutely loved it! At first ordering, the inside felt a little off and I was skeptical because the sandwiches are just wrapped in saran wrap, maybe I'm just spoiled with nice packaging these days but it was so good. I got the Army Special and was packed with so much flavor from the condiments and the Dutch Crunch bread was also fantastic. So much food too and I think I got the half. Owner Bennett was friendly and talked about the niners with me, seems like a diehard fan so we got something in common. Will never forget that conversation. Shook his hand and enjoyed his craft of sandwiches near the beach in Monterey. For the inside of the shop, its a market with everything you need, snacks, drinks and more. Highly recommend visiting, I will 100% be back. read more

This place was dope. Randomly found it on my Yelp searches when I was visiting the area, had crazy good reviews and I love me a good sando. It did not disappointment. I saw how big the portions are so I got a half order and man it still was humongous ! I ate half right then and there in my car and ate the other half the next day, it was still good! I would say it tastes better than it looks lol no shade. It was a very old family run feel, lowkey, very interesting snacks and drinks for purchase. Not pictured are the two kinds of chips I got. Seems to be a veteran establishment (thank you for your service!). The cakes they had on display looked absolutely incredible. Everyone in like practically bought a slice. And they didn't skimp on those portions either. I love that they had so many options for bread, which all looked fresh. If you're in the area and you want a good deli sando and or slice of bomb cake, come here. read more

Compagno's Market & Deli - God Father on Dutch crunch - Delis Near Me - Monterey, California

Went and got their most popular sandwich, a $15 for half ($17? for whole) chicken Parm with avocado, bacon, cheese. It was ridiculously good. And a 1/2 sandwich was a sizeable meal as it turned out. Some army dude in front of me mentioned to his guests that a whole was enough to split into two meals (assuming the addition of sides). The Army Presidio is down the street which guarantees a customer base and the owner(s) decided they could sell on quantity AND quality apparently. Delicious enough to make me think about it long after the sandwich is gone. 5 stars. read more

Compagno's Market & Deli - Chicken parm sandwich with bacon and avocado. - Delis Near Me - Monterey, California

Love this family‑owned market and deli! Everything they make is fantastic, and the staff is always so welcoming to everyone who walks through the door. You enter into a small grocery area stocked with snacks and drinks from around the world. The walls are covered in military decor and patches from various military and law‑enforcement agencies. Before you walk in, you'll find order forms on a table outside with simple instructions. You can pick and choose what you want from the menu posted on the window. Once inside, hand your form to the team behind the counter. While they prepare your sandwich, take a moment to browse the market and check out some of the old‑school candies. We ordered a half chicken breast sandwich to split, a full one is huge! All their chicken is breaded, not grilled, and you can load it up with all the fixings: peppers, bacon, pickles, avocado, and more. They also offer an assortment of fresh salads and cakes. We always get the broccoli salad -- it's amazing, lightly dressed with grapes, red onion, and bacon. They also have a great selection of beers in the coolers to enjoy with your sandwich. There is limited parking and seating. Definitely purchased your food and go eat near the coast. If you're in Monterey or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by for some delicious food. You won't be disappointed! read more

Corner stores are the cornerstones of the US. From Italian delis to bodegas to mom & pop convenience stores--they're the best places to get the local vibes. Compagno's was the perfect, no-frills stop before heading to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. They've got cold drinks and snacks (wide variety of chips) but if it's sandwiches you seek, fill out one of slips on the table outside and bring it to the counter. Bennett was so friendly and even quizzed us with a Jeopardy question while we waited for our sandwiches. The sandwiches were huge! I got the chicken breast, bacon, and avocado and he was kind enough to wrap my avocado separately since we had a bit until I was going to eat it. Real, fresh chicken! The mortadella one was also delicious. Bonus points: they were so kind to give a huge slice of delicious Oreo cake to my wife when we mentioned that we were in town for her birthday! Will definitely stop here again for a beach or aquarium day. read more

We love this deli. One cannot go wrong here. Kitschy neighborhood spot with 2nd to none sandwiches served with personality. We've been here 3 times in 3 weeks. My go to is the smoked turkey sandwich with Gouda. The Reuben, meatball sub, or any of the specialty sandwiches are superb. Had cookies today and they were delicious. No way to make a bad choice. read more

OMG this place their sandwiches are freaking amazing I love their sandwiches they're huge I can only eat half of a full one but they are so good their food is fresh you can taste it how fresh everything is there vegetables there Meats whatever you decide to order on the sandwiches I will continue going out to moderate it's kind of like between Monterey and PG I believe but if anywhere you have got to try Campagnos!

We came for the sandwiches. And we stayed because we got stuck in the aisle. After 4 years of hearing people talk about this place like it was the hidden temple of carbs, my family and I finally made the pilgrimage. Expectations were sky-high. My stomach was empty. My spirit? Ready. Walked in and immediately realized: this place is cozy... like, "I-just-bumped-into-three-strangers-trying-to-grab-a-bag-of-chips" cozy. The aisles are so narrow even my skinny butt had to do a three-point turn just to look at the drinks. But the sandwiches? ABSURDLY HUGE. I got the Coast Guard Special on Dutch crunch... except the Dutch forgot to bring the crunch. First bite: flavorful. By the fourth bite: I was in a committed relationship with this sandwich and unsure how to break up. Something was missing--maybe glitter, maybe magic, maybe just... closure. My daughter's turkey/ham/bacon/avocado sandwich came out looking like it bench presses smaller sandwiches for fun. And that was just the half-size. Subway could never. My husband had the Crazy Reuben, which wasn't crazy at all. It was more like the Reuben that calls it a night by 8:30 and drinks chamomile tea. Tasty? Yes. Revolutionary? Not exactly. The final bill? 3 sandwiches, 2 chips, 1 energy drink = nearly $60. At that point, I started checking if the sandwich came with equity in the deli. BUT, the staff was friendly... even as we tried to do a 5-person ballet in a 2-foot aisle. Would I come back? Yeah, maybe, but next time I'm bringing a GPS, a sandwich buddy, and a plan for leftovers. Because unless you're training for a competitive eating contest, you're not finishing one of these solo. read more

Very much enjoyed our HUGE & flavorful sandwiches!! And yes, as customers have mentioned here on yelp, they are huge! One sandwich, I think can feed three or four people. Very nice meats, very nice breads and fresh vegetables. It is a small shop, and the wait is a little bit of time... But well worth it!! This was our very first time, and he will come back! (on my Reuben I added lettuce and tomatoes and really liked that idea). read more

Compagno's Market & Deli - The Navy Seal Special (Half) - Delis Near Me - Monterey, California

There are places I find every now and then that are truly amazing in their own way. Compagno's Market and Deli falls under that description. Looking from the outside of the building it looks a lot like an old grocery store or quick stop shop for locals. Inside isn't that appealing. Whatever tables exist are already occupied by boxes and random scatterings of papers associated with the business. I don't want that description to give you the wrong impression. I love businesses like Compagno's! They know what they do well and that's food. I don't need a super fancy updated interior to tell me what a good sandwich and cake is, I'll know it when I taste it. First, I grabbed the turkey, ham, bacon, and avocado full sandwich. I love deli sandwiches as they are always high on my list of things I look for when I want food. This sandwich was MASSIVE! The value alone for a $16 sandwich that, first of all, tastes amazing, but also gives you the ability to break that into two meals is a tremendous value. The bread choice was Dutch crunch and yes, it was perfect! Well balanced crust to softness ratio of the bread. Grabbed the chipotle mayo and pepper to go along with it and the sandwich was worth it all the way! Sandwich 8.3/10 Easily a go to spot when I am back in the area. Now, what surprised me next was while waiting for the sandwich I noticed about 5 different extremely large cakes. Oreo, Reese's, lemon, and German Chocolate caught my eye. I grabbed two slices the lemon and German Chocolate. I asked if they were homemade and that is all I needed to know. Stupid good. That's really the only way to describe how good these cake slices were. My wife and I enjoyed them. Despite being massive they were light and fluffy cake topped with the perfect balance of cream for the lemon and coconut frosting for the German chocolate. $9 a slice and I still feel like I should've paid more. Easily one slice works for 2 people. Lemon: 9.1/10 German Chocolate: 9.3/10 read more

Compagno's Market & Deli - Menu 05/16/2026 - Delis Near Me - Monterey, California

It's not hard to make a good sandwich. Pretty basic math. But it's hard to find an indulgent sandwich that makes you feel like you're eating a much more elite option. That was my experience at compagnos. The building is completely unassuming, sitting on the corner in a residential neighborhood. They had a deli case of sides available but I went straight for the money shot. As many reviews mentioned, there's a clip board with some menus posted up at the door. Hand over your filled out slip, take a gander at the huge selection of international chips and old school candy options. I ended up with Thai chili chips and some hi chew to accompany my chicken cordon bleu on whole wheat. Not sure why their menu calls it a half sandwich, as it was an entirely whole sandwich and plenty of food for one. The sandwich included a full chicken breast, completely juicy and well cooked with ham and Swiss cheese. All the fixins topped off what was a gloriously delicious sandwich. Will be back again. Ten out of ten would recommend. The guys behind the counter were courteous and efficient. The guy at the front counter seemed to be on his own time clock, but it was still a great visit. Parking is tight. I went around 2 on a rainy Saturday and there was no parking available in their tiny lot but some spaces on the street in the adjacent residential neighborhood. read more

Don't come looking for romantic ambiance here but if you want great deli big and size worth the money deal than subway sandwich, then you came to the right place. Our godfathers sandwich had it all! Flavor, pile of deli meats, flat good bread and great spread. It had us belching for the rest of the day. Very friendly cashier/owner who takes the e time to get to know something about you. Locally, the gem in this neighborhood indeed. So many choices of deli sandwiches here including those huge slice piece of cakes. Good eats and great pricing for the flavor and portion! read more

Compagno's Market & Deli - Smoked turkey sandwich! - Delis Near Me - Monterey, California

New place unlocked for Monterey! This place is sooooo cool besides the amazing sandwiches that are HUGE. Everything here is homemade and just looks like it was made with so much love. The owner or the person who does the order for the snacks has a keen eye for cool things. They have SO many unique flavors from alot of familiar brands and goods we eat on the daily. Let's not even start with the drink selection. Probably the longest and best selection of drinks! The #26 was me and my bfs fav. Get it with the chipotle mayo so so good. There are a bunch of sealed GI joe figurines along the top walls! Again, it was such a cool shop to stop into before heading to the beach. This is not to hype up the store, but the food is also good! Clearly this place is proud of military memorbilia. Plus side is they do have a restroom if anyone needs it on a whim. read more

Probably the biggest sandwich I have ever ordered/eaten in my life. Do not underestimate the size of their "full size" sandwich! I'm pretty sure a normal adult could probably be filled up with just a half size sandwich. They have a long list of preset/popular options, but you can also BYO and customize it as well. They have little papers that you can prefill out and hand to the folks behind the deli counter to make your sandwich, and then you pay at the cashier. They do a good job of plastic wrapping it to make sure it doesn't leak if you take it to-go. Do expect it to make a mess as it's a big sandwich with a lot of toppings. Sandwich tasted good, no complaints about the taste. The only thing is the tray they provided for the sandwich got soaked through before I could get through the sandwich, so be prepared for that. They are an actual market inside, so only some picnic tables outside to sit at, otherwise expect to take your sandwich to go. A few parking spots alongside their store wall, but could probably find some in the residential area and walk over as well. read more

Originally, I was thinking about dining into a restaurant for brunch, but was amazed by the idea of a deli sandwich from a market because those are usually the best. Decided to stop by midday Sunday and can immediately tell that Compagno's is popular. Although there were a decent amount of people, the service was super quick! A handful of parking spots alongside the market. And there is a picnic table located right outside for seating. Navy Special (prosciutto, hot coppa + salami) with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, provolone, avocado, and pepperoncini on a Dutch crunch roll-- 5/5! $20 sandwich with add ons but was easily 2 meals cause the whole sandwich is huuuuge! Shown in photo next to my share sized bag of chips. I didn't anticipate for chips being the hardest decision of my day but with the broad selection, it took about 5 minutes to finalize. I knew I wanted kettle chips, but when there are so many great options, it becomes challenging. I opted for Miss Vickie's Jalapeño chips. Such a good combo and happy to return in the future when visiting Monterey! read more

I'm actually so confused why they call a half sandwich a half when it's literally an entire sandwich lol. I got tuna on Dutch crunch and had no complaints. The cashier guy double checks your sandwich order that you write down which is funny. He wrote in all the same ingredients that the special sandwiches already come with. They were busy but pretty fast. Four sandwiches and a bag of chips came out to about $65 and we all got two meals out of them. They have these giant cakes that looked intriguing. Anyways, a very interesting place. Definitely worth a stop. read more

I wish I took a picture of all the cakes they had because DO YOU SEE THAT SLICE. One bite gives you diabetes but it's worth it. I want to try the cannoli next time. Great selection of drinks and snacks in the store too. The pesto mayo is a must. Also these sandwiches are HUGE so I recommend getting a half. What an amazing little deli! read more
