    Guy's Over the Top Chicken Salad is what I didn't know I wanted
    Liberty G.

    There's a reason this shop has made Yelp's Top 100 nationally more than once! So much has already been said about the top notch customer service and the quality of the food that I won't regurgitate it all, I'll just add to the praise. After just two sandwiches, Guy's is already in my personal Top 5. I am incredibly picky about chicken salad (when it's not my own) but Guy's version is about 99% of the way to my heart. But then I ordered their the secret menu item the Life Changer aka Guy's Over the Top Chicken Salad. Game over. It slayed. I'm dead. I could have easily eaten ten of them. My mouth is craving one every week, even if my wallet isn't. As I'm writing this, my stomach is sobbing because they're closed on Mondays. The prices are spot on for the quality you get. If they charged a little more, I wouldn't be mad. They use high quality ingredients, well curated combinations, and the servings are generous and hearty. I'm already planning to try their soups for next time.

    Pics. I totally forgot I didn't post any pictures on my original review. Here's a couple from the other day :) I love how every sandwich feels like it's made with care. Even my turkey sandwich although it was not a grilled cheese, the cheese was melted on the sandwich, but the bread (which I changed to whole wheat from a roll that was standard on the sandwich) was untoasted, it was warm and, delicious. My husband got his go too, the triple pig, and he was very happy with it as well. I also got a cup of the chicken noodle soup which was so flavorful, but be careful cause their soups are incredibly hot! The service here is always top-notch! So good!

    The NorCal on a sourdough roll. SO GOOD

    Best sandwiches hands down!!! 10/10 for service too! Bread is freshly made and ingredients portioned perfectly in the sandwich

    I came here for lunch on my own the other day, and this is hands down my favorite spot for a hot pastrami sandwich. I don't usually order hot pastrami, but this is the one place that always changes my mind. It is sooo good! The cheese melts perfectly, the spicy mustard adds just the right kick, and I always add onions for a little extra crunch. I actually love sitting in there and enjoying lunch on my own it's such a comfortable, easygoing spot. Best hot pastrami in town, no question. To top it off, Guy at the counter is so sweet and fun to talk to. He'll even let you sample the chili, which is also super good I've grabbed that to go more than once! Highly recommend for a quick, delicious lunch with great service.

    Excellent sandwich and chili

    We went to Guy's bast on reviews and were greeted by friendly staff. Very clean restaurant with plenty of seating. We took all the recommendations from staff and highly enjoyed our meal!

    Chicken soup & meatball sub
    Sharon S.

    What a hidden gem! The staff is friendly, witty, and so knowledgeable! It was my husband and i's first time in and so they let us sample their chili & chicken soup. Both were delicious! My husband ordered the meatball sub and a small portion of the soup that was topped with homemade croutons. I ordered the nor cal sub on sourdough with all the fixings. Wow, the bread was so soft and flavorful and I appreciated they did not skimp on the deli meat. Overall a wonderful sandwich shop!

    minestrone soup and 1/3 pastrami sandwich
    Nancy T.

    Pretty good sandwich place. Portions are large and service is friendly. I had the "Life Changing" chicken sandwich. It was good, but probably too hyperbolic to call it life changing. It has a bit of a spicy kick, so be prepared for that. Husband had the soup and 1/2 sandwich combo which he gave a thumbs up.

    Justin L.

    Whenever I'm in Roseville, this is my favorite place for my favorite sandwich, the over the top chicken salad sandwich! The owner is always there and always gives the best service and it's always clean! I got a half sandwich with soup, the half sandwich as big as some spots full sandwich. Hands down this place has the best chicken salad sandwich.

    Jo'lynde L.

    This is our all time favorite place to have the best chicken salad sandwich! The service is always welcoming family feels and don't forget to grab a chocolate chip cookie on the way out it will be the cherry on the top. The chicken salad sandwich is my all time favorite it has pieces of apples for the sweetness and texture of a crunchy goodness. Always good vibes when we visit guys !

    Club with chicken salad
    Marni W.

    Got the club with chicken salad and it was soooooo delicious!! Worth every Penny with slightly melted cheese-yes please. Wish it was in Rocklin.

    The Kathy on Dutch crunch without onions
    Mia T.

    This sandwich was definitely worth the drive. I ordered the "Kathy" off the secret menu and it was super filling and full of flavor. Stock full of meat and veggies with not too much spread that the sandwich is wet. I also subbed in Dutch crunch bread as I can only get it when out in the bay or sac area. If you're a fan, I recommend doing the same. I came right at opening and received my sandwich within 10 minutes. There's a good amount of seating inside as well. A must stop for lunch in Roseville

    The menu
    Amritpal W.

    I stopped in at Guys for Lunch and tried the chicken salad sandwich, and it really hit the spot. The sandwich was fresh, the bread was soft, and the chicken salad had a nice balance of flavor. What I especially liked was the little kick of spice--it wasn't overwhelming, just enough to give it some personality. You can tell they put thought into the seasoning. The portion size was generous without being too heavy, which made it a perfect lunch. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, so it's definitely a place I'd come back to when I want something tasty and satisfying in the middle of the day. This is my go to after a visit to the dmv.

Best matcha is from Offbeat coffee in sac, but the double at Gu Ca Phe is just as good and has its own unique charm. Worth the price, worth the drive! Amazing. If I got it with normal sweetness, I don't think I'd love it as much. Long version: Cute little spot in an unsuspecting location. I don't live in Roseville but was here for an appointment so I stopped by since this place has been on my list. After trying dozens of matchas in Sacramento and surrounding areas, this one definitely rivals the top spot. It's a small location and the service was nice and pretty standard. They also have a kiosk so you can take extra time to scroll through the menu with photos. Not a fan of the AI artwork throughout if I'm being honest but I know it's a sign of the times. And I'm glad their drinks actually do look pretty damn close to the photos unlike other businesses. I got the regular size double matcha, less sweet. If it was regular sweetness, I don't think I'd like it as much. The matcha is good quality, seems like it was freshly handwhisked but not sure. It is strong without being astringent. The matcha cream is amazing and strong as well. You def have to love matcha to enjoy this one. It's going to be stronger than something you find at Starbucks of course. I love matcha to hit me in the face so this drink was perfect. They have the good ice, too ! A similar matcha I've tried, and is my personal #1 across dozens I've tried, is from Offbeat Coffee (x2 matcha). Gu Ca Phe has finessed something similar and I honestly feel like it would be worth the drive from West Sac to Roseville just for Gu Ca Phe's double matcha. I want to try their other drinks. The sugar croiffle was delicious, too!

The interior is small but clean and brightly lit. The coffee is good but weaker than I expect when getting Vietnamese coffee. It is phin dripped, and the classic flavor is there, but less creamy texture. Traditionally the brew is very strong and mixed with condensed milk only - the ice in this instance is necessary to balance the boldness. In this coffee, between the added milk and large amount of ice, it is watered down and not the full bodied experience you would expect. Overall still a good cup, and probably the best you can get in the immediate area, but not wholly satisfying if you are seeking the traditional Vietnamese coffee flavor.

I usually grab my food to go, but whenever I do step inside, the atmosphere feels just like a good neighborhood sandwich shop should. Nothing overly fancy, just a casual setting and the delicious smell of fresh ingredients greeting you as soon as you walk through the door. The service has always been friendly and welcoming, and I honestly haven't had any complaints. They're helpful, quick, and make the whole experience easy, whether you're grabbing something to go or staying for a bite. Now, let's talk about the cheesesteak! It's flavorful, satisfying, and even better with their Dirty Sauce. I highly recommend adding bacon and getting it on a Dutch crunch roll. That combination gives you the perfect mix of savory, crispy, cheesy, and crunchy in every bite. The Dutch crunch really takes the sandwich up a notch!

So, if you like pretty standard choices with a ton of options that different an ingredient or two, then this is your spot for a sandwich. In terms of service, it's been mostly good. We've been to this location a handful of times. About half the time the staff makes a little mistake such as not putting extra lettuce or leaving out the extra sauce on the side. Otherwise, they are pretty good. The price is okay. I wish I could get a solid sandwich for $10, but that's just not realistic anymore.
