TKB Bakery & Deli was an amazing experience from start to finish!…read more The owner, Brandon, greeted us with the warmest welcome and made us feel right at home. We ordered the smash burger and the Brooklyn smoked pastrami sandwich, and wow the pastrami sandwich wasn't just one of the best I've ever had, it was THE best I've ever had! The smash burger was also incredible. You can tell they use top-quality ingredients, starting with the meat, which was lean, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. To top off an already great visit, Brandon offered to cover our drinks and dessert and even took a picture with us. The food, service, and hospitality were all outstanding. Wonderful experience we will definitely be regulars!

The sandwiches were tasty with LOTS of meat. TKB does NOT skimp. Today we arrived and were seated…read moreoutside because we had our dogs. It was well after the lunch rush but it was pleasantly busy. Employees were friendly and checking on patrons, serving food and tending to empty tables. We had been waiting awhile, so I carried our number in with me and made note of the numbers they were delivering... which were higher numbers than ours, but also very random. I went to the cash register and asked the employee if they called the numbers in order. She answered politely that no they didn't. I then mentioned we were sitting outside and asked if I should wait inside for my order so they wouldn't have trouble finding us. We were not in a hurry and were trying to make it easy on the hardworking employees....and bonus that it was cool inside *At that point, a man who I perceived was a manager or maybe even the owner , turned to me from behind the counter, handed me a bag and said " Here Ma'am , GO!" Then turned back around to what he was doing. What? GO? I don't know what his intent was because I'm not a mind reader, but it felt rude and dismissive. His facial expression was as though he was busy and or annoyed. I was so surprised at his response in such an otherwise pleasant environment. I'm pretty tolerant of grumpy people (you know, sometimes there's a reason) but this just felt really icky -it was our intended destination after a hot drive from Phoenix and it did not sit well with us. We won't be returning. Food =10 Customer service = so disappointing 3

Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

Service was excellent. Seated immediately and ordering minutes later. Got extra cream cheese on request and our coffees were diligently refilled. The main attraction was the pastrami sandwich. Totally to my wife's taste, extremely lean and stacked high. She had to take half home. I tried an omelette with corned beef and loved it. The everything bagel was perfectly acceptable, not too "bready." So: service good, pastrami good, and bagel good. Everything good about a deli is covered.

My last visit was during the lunch hour which was a mistake since I wasn't there for lunch. It was difficult to find parking and there was a long line at the counter.

We really wanted to love this place.

Perfect for a couple like my husband & I, where he always prefers American food but I always want rice. Lots of parking. Not the prettiest inside, but everything was clean & the staff were very friendly. Although the boy at the register kept getting our order wrong. My hubby asked for the large 16" Philly, and even clarified twice, but was charged & given the small 8" one instead. He was also bummed that his Philly didn't come with fries, we thought it came with it since it wasn't clarified on the menu nor did the boy taking our order asked if we wanted fries with it. Nevertheless, my husband loved his Philly cheesesteak. Also, none of us asked for lumpia, but it was added to our order. It was a nice mistake tho because the pork lumpia was crispy & delicious. I also ordered both the lechon kawali & the tapsilog. The tapas in the tapsilog was delicious & had the perfect flavor. The lechon kawali could have been a little crisper, but my husband enjoyed that as well. We would definitely come back next time we're in town & craving Filipino & cheesesteaks.

LOCATION: just off the 111 easy access parking can be a challenge especially if you have a large vehicle. FACILITY: excellent, large inside and lots of year-round tables outside. Always clean. MENU: thankfully not huge but everything you want is here. Breakfast and lunch. FOOD PREP: standard nothing fancy, the food is the star here. FOOD QUALITY: yikes, the pastrami is perfect... We split a Reuben which I fear is somewhat addictive. LIBATIONS: yes, they have a bar and maybe we sampled some... WAITSTAFF: professional. OVERALL VALUE: kind of expensive and worth it. TIP: try off hours, mostly locals and snowbirds here so late breakfast or later lunch seating is open.

It's tucked in a nondescript office park with plenty of parking. They were busy when we arrived, so we had a short wait, which told me it's a popular spot. I ordered the California sandwich: turkey, avocado, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and sprouts on sourdough, with added cheddar, mustard, and jalapenos ($14.95 plus $1.50 for the cheddar). It was fantastic. My son ordered the same with a few tweaks and loved his as well. My wife went for a hot sandwich, and by the time we got back to our lodging it had melted through the bread and was a little messy. She was lukewarm about it, so I had to tease her: "To-go hot sandwiches turn into a hot mess, poor decision." She appreciated my annoying comment and happily snagged a bite of my delicious sandwich, lol. Great sandwiches, friendly vibe, and definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. Highly recommend. 5 stars P.S. my photo of my sandwich just doesn't do it justice. I

Maybe I would enjoy a different pizza more but I was disappointed. Service was fine, no issues there.
