It's a cozy atmosphere, good for friend meetup or quick lunch. The service was good, and the food was okay. It's pretty much like a deli-style thin-sliced chicken or meat you get on the sandwiches, the sauces are pretty sweet and they use conventional dressings and toppings. Had a good lunch here, recommend the hot pastrami sandwich. It's a big sandwich so I'd go with a half-sandwich if you want to feel less heavy afterward (or else you'll take a nap after eating a whole one like I did!) read more

Sandwiches are great and they ice cream. Great to take on the go and head to beach for a picnic. read more

Fantastic deli with delicious, fresh sandwiches and Marianne's ice cream. This is the best place to grab sandwiches in Pacific Grove!

Total transparency: we had 2 orders. One half a sandwhich and half potato salad and a bag of chips and Arizona tea. The second was a turkey classic #14 and a bag of chips and an Arizona tea; $50. The bread was super soft and delicious. They do NOT skimp on the meats or condiments. Very very good portions. The service was pleasant and we ate inside because it was very inviting! We will definitely be back! read more

Cute little hidden deli. Seems fairly family run. Casual. The hot Italian sandwich was exceptionally lovely on a toasted loaf. The crab salad was slightly disappointing as it was not real crab. The staff was friendly and accommodating and the ice cream was the perfect ending. read more

Yes yes yes this place is the spot! Owned by the same family forever, I love that it's literally a local sandwich shop. Usually I get their turkey sandwich but I switched it up and got a meatball sub...let me tell you..SO good! Their macaroni salad is a must buy when you go in. I love the fact they sell Icecream and cookies too! My daughter loves their cinnamon buns. read more

Tuna fish on wheat was fantastic. Lots of tuna. Buddy had chicken salad sandy. Service was great. Remember them from the old gas station location. Same quality. Thank you Goodies! read more

Great service and delicious food and total transparency on pricing. We will be going back. Had the meatball sandwich and hot Italian sandwiches which were both great!! read more

Came here for a quick sandwich to go. They were quick and the sandwich was good but the price is high.

Got a club sandwich (adding avocado) to go for lunch for our day hike at Point Lobos. We're visiting the area and thought to go to a local place rather than a chain like Subway or the supermarket. Unfortunately the $20 sandwich wasn't so good. Sourdough bread was old, dry and tasteless. Cold cuts were liked packaged meats. Bacon was cooked before and then reheated in a microwave (and it still was soft and not crispy). Avocado was good and there was a generous amount for the up charge. Fortunately we only bought 1 sandwich (though for the price we could have gotten 2 sandwiches or free chips at Subway with a coupon on the app). I'm writing this to encourage the owners to up their game. If you're calling yourself a deli and going to charge more than a chain store, make it better. People will come. Gave it 2 stars rather than 1 because the lady who made the sandwich was very nice. read more

Local business. Great sandwiches at reasonable prices. I have never gotten a bad sandwich here.

Good meal. Nothing special, but overall satisfying. They did mess up the order by forgetting condiments, lettuce and tomato on mine. Very pricey. $60 for 3 chips and sandwiches. read more

Goodies has the vegetarian sandwich you'll find on the Monterey Peninsula, 100% my favorite veggie sandwich. A coworker turned me onto it 25 yrs ago and all Sandwiches are still as good as first day I walked in...They won't disappoint. read more

We've been to Goodies several times now. Service is always friendly. They are very accommodating and will make any substitutions you like. The atmosphere is not much to speak of....it's a deli with a few tables inside. We usually take ours to go unless the weather is nice enough to sit outside. The sandwiches are huge and delicious. The ingredients are fresh and plentiful. Their chicken salad is probably the best I've had out. I love the addition of the crisp apple slices on the sandwich. My husband loved his club sandwich. He requested the French roll instead of the typical bread. We've also loved the rueben - one sandwich was more than enough for the two of us to share. Great little deli if you are looking for a quick bite. They also offer salads, chips and ice cream. We'll be back! read more

It was so good. Food came out quick and it was so delicious. It seems to be a mom and pop shop who were so sweet and friendly. Shop was clean and welcoming, would come back again! read more

Thai is a cute little sandwich shop in downtown pacific grove. It's pretty clean abs plenty of seating. Came here for some carbs aster a nice bike ride on the trail. I ordered the special of the day, pulled pork sandwich, and #19 Italian salami with Swiss cheese. Even with a hot sandwich, the bread is perfectly soft. read more

Fantastic cucumber sandwich. It was almost too big for me to eat! God service. Nice drink selection.

Place is great fresh bread and ingredients. Would highly recommend. Sandwiches are thick and staff is excellent. Can't ask for more.

Mint chocolate chip ice was good to expensive, service seemed sad (older couple seemed very tired) needs help. Hot pastrami was good.

Good sandwiches. Easy to call in about 15 minutes before heading down there and you don't have to wait. The counter folks are always nice. I mean come on people these guys make sandwiches for a living, give them a break if they didn't say hi or gave you a rude response. I don't blame them. Will always recommend goodies to all my friends and family when visiting the area. read more

Philly Cheesesteak sandwich was mediocre and nothing really stands out. French roll was crumbly on top. I picked up a berry lemonade soda made with cane sugar which I liked and they got some baked goods. read more

I love their Hot Pastrami sandwich. This is the go-to-place whenever I have the urge. I also tried their soup recently. Great tasting and not so salty like many other places. I highly recommend you try their soup. read more

Hot Italian is my go to! I usually call and get mine as take out. Sandwich is perfect every time. Interior could use some work but that would be my only issue. read more

Nothing fancy about goodies but the sandwiches and salads are super fresh and tasty. Never been disappointed. I prefer their coffee over some of the downtown places as well. Nice family that runs it too. read more

First time. Ordered two sandwiches. Disappointed when something didn't taste right and pulled out this tomato. I tried to email picture but website didn't work or have contact that I could find. Texted issue and picture today. Haven't heard back. read more

Goodies Deli - Bad tomato - Delis Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

Tasty sandwiches! Great spot to catch up with friends. Love the area and it's nice to walk around afterwards.

Delicious, fresh, sandwiches and the soup is always good! Sweet family run business that locals love.

Shockingly bad coffee. Impressively poor service. Plenty of people behind the counter but none interested in acknowledging my presence.

You had me at hot pastrami! Fresh French roll with a generous portion of pastrami, cheese, tomatoes, onion, and pepperoncini. Super tender meat and perfect ratio of ingredients made every bite as good as the last! My husband had the Ruben and it looked delicious. He did not share with me... he said it was great. I will be back to try that one next! read more

It's been 2 yrs plus since we last visited Goodies. Their spot was taken over by new construction on Lighthouse but were happy to report the found a new home less that a block away from their previous spot. Their sandwiches are still as good as we remember and are happy they survived the pandemic. read more

Great sandwich if you're seeking lunch on Lighthouse. Didn't get cookies or ice cream but both looked good too.

Our sandwiches were very good. I hadn't been to Goodies in years and wanted to support them at their new location. (They were forced to move due to new construction.) Sadly, I wont be rushing back. Mainly because neither of the two people running the place were masked, violating law, standards, and common consideration. I get that masks can be uncomfortable, but people's lives are at stake. The man at the cash register had his mask completely off when I walked in and eventually pulled it over his face after he helped another customer. The woman preparing the food had hers pulled down below her nose, making it ineffective as well. I almost walked out without the sandwiches (but felt that since we'd already placed our order on the phone, we should commit to it). Ridiculous. Note: their web site is out of date and not only lists the wrong location, but the prices are $1.00 to $1.50 more per sandwich than what the online menu indicates. read more

We had lunch at this downtown deli. My husband was happy with his cream of potato soup and PBJ sandwich. We ate at one of the two indoor tables. I ordered the chicken salad special sandwich which has lettuce tomatoes and apple slices but not much taste. The chicken salad is finely shredded chicken and mayo, sort of mushy. It needs the other things normally added to make chicken salad. Would not order this again. read more

We used to eat at Goodies when they were in an old converted gas station. This location is bigger and the sandwiches are great. Most are large enough to share or split. They now serve ice cream as well. Lots of locals getting to-go orders while we ate inside. Perfect for a quick lunch of a hot or cold deli sandwich. Friendly service. Comfortable but not a lot of space inside to eat. read more

Outstanding neighborhood deli. Great service for to go orders and ordering in. I highly recommend the chicken sandwich and tuna sandwich. Absolutely delightful sandwich shop. read more

We stopped by and bought the chicken salad sandwich and the bbq roast beef sandwich. Both were great: the chicken salad sandwich was Huge and delicious. The toasted french roll and bbq beef was Yummy. We love small family- run places like this! read more
