Such a solid local deli spot in Kearny Mesa. The prices are great, the people are super nice, and it really has that classic mom-and-pop feel that makes you want to keep coming back. They also serve coffee (though I didn't try it this time), and I was happy to see they had a few vegetarian sandwich options. I got the #18 veggie sandwich and my husband got #9 Reuben and they were both bomb. They can definitely get busy and seem to get a lot of phone orders, which honestly says a lot about how popular they are with locals. There's also a parking lot on the side, which makes stopping by easy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Love supporting small local businesses like this one. read more

I've been to Kearny Mesa Deli a handful of times over the past couple of years. Definitely a consistent deli in terms of quality and service. It's no-frills and not fancy at all, but there's a reason their phone is always ringing off the hook at lunchtime. They do what they do well, and they're dependable. The pulled pork sandwich comes with a layer of coleslaw and you get American BBQ vibes from it. It's really quite tasty. The egg salad sandwich is also pretty good--very good texture and consistency, and you can tell it's made fresh daily. The coffee is also pretty good. A brand called Aperture provides the beans here, and the cold brew is especially yummy. Prices aren't too high either, and parking is usually not bad. They've got a decent amount of seating inside, and also have a really large outdoor patio. Overall, a solid deli choice in Kearny Mesa. read more

Always like this spot. Their sandwiches are the bomb. They are helpful and the food is great.

Tried this place for the first time. It was okay. A bit pricey for a deli but I got a big sandwich, although the flavor was not all there. Service was quick. Could use a bit of a better ambiance. And above all, the servers can smile a bit. Anyway, if you are in the area, please try them out, and let me know your own experience. Happy sandwiches! read more

Kearny Mesa Deli has some great sandwich options. I ordered the veggie sandwich, which was really good. Really fresh ingredients! Prices are fair and service is ok. The space inside is pretty small so there is limited space to stand while you wait for your food. Plenty of parking available in a lot and on the street. read more

I was mislead by some of the Yelp reviews, thinking I was going to get a good homemade breakfast sandwich. My sandwich had imitation cheese and not sure what the thin sausage patty was made of. This place is run by a two person team and is located in a somewhat industrial business park area that serves local businesses. The vibe wasn't comforting nor cozy at all. Just kind of a place to grab and go, if you must. read more

Kearny Deli never disappoints! Their sandwiches are amazing, packed with flavor and always fresh. I love that they offer a sandwich of the day, which makes choosing easy. It's my go-to spot when I forget to meal prep, and the best part it's right down the street from work! read more

Super good food super fresh and they were super fast making it most definitely coming back big on the deli coming from New York

Cute little deli! Looks like it's a mom & pop shop. I was greeted & helped right away. I ordered a ham, egg, & cheese breakfast sandwich but I added avocado & sprouts. Next time I think I'll ask for pesto just to give it a little flavor because otherwise it's a simple straight forward breakfast sandwich. $8.10 but probably cause of the extra avo & sprouts. Still a very good price I'd you think about it. What I also love is that their sandwiches aren't greasy at all, the greens tasted fresh, & the portions are great! I'll definitely be back! Also, they memorize they're regulars' orders. If that isn't amazing customer service I don't know what is. read more

This is now my go to place for Veggie Sandwich and iced mocha. I could not find a place that put sprouts in their veggie sandwiches until this place. I love it. Avocado, cheese, cucumbers, sprouts and the right amount of condiments... they let me sub sourdpugh too. Yay. It's located right across the street from a Catholic church, St. John Bosco Mission, so I can come here before or after Adoration daily around 11am - noon Monday through Saturday. The service here is friendly and the atmosphere is pleasant. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very clean. read more

I was searching for a place close by that was serving bagel sandwiches and this place popped up as #1. I can see why after going and ordering a Sunrise Sandwich. It's a small cafe shop with lots of drinks, snacks and food options. The lady who took my order was very sweet and patient. Service was quick! I received my order in less than 5 minutes. The sandwich was splendidly prepared (check the photo). It was cut perfectly and the egg, avocado and cheese were placed evenly. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for breakfast (served until 10:30am) and lunch! read more

Food looked great and it smelled so yummy. Unfortunately, there was no public restroom. They serve drinks, coffees and food but no restroom is a deal breaker. read more

I love Kearny Mesa deli, it has become my go to lunch spot for work! The owners are always so sweet, great service, and sandwiches are made perfect every time with fresh ingredients. My go-to is the sun-dried turkey. read more

I came upon this place unexpectedly, I had to drop my car off and needed to get lunch so I went on a walk and stumbled upon the Kearny Mesa Deli. From first impression I knew this place would be good, very kind owners, fair prices, and most importantly, great food. They have many different options and also serve breakfast, although I could only get one sandwich I'll now be coming back to try more. This place is fantastic and worth checking out if you want a great sandwich. read more

When I have to work this area, this is my go-to place for coffee. It is in an industrial area of Kearny Mesa. It is tiny inside, but there are places to sit outside. It is part coffee shop and part convenience store because there are several fridges full of drinks and snack to takeaway. Also, this deli has a menu of breakfast and lunch items they can make. I usually only come here in the morning so I can imagine the lunch rush they may get. When I come in the mornings, only one sweet lady is working. She isn't too talkative, but is very polite. Anyways, back to the most important meal called coffee. I usually get the iced latte here because I noticed that the espresso the deli uses is quite robust. One day, I will try the Einspanner coffee. It is espresso and sweet cream -- although I am not a fan of coffee that is too sweet. read more

Absolutely was addicted to this place. Was going here almost every day for breakfast or lunch. Honestly I miss this place so much just writing this review. I used to work in the area and just switched jobs but I can genuinely say I love this deli. The owners are so so kind and hard working. They knew my order and knew all their regulars. The outdoor seating is a great place to eat lunch too. Kearny Mesa Club with sprouts was my go-to lunch sandwich with a bag of Dirty salt n vinegar chips. Honestly pretty big sandwich and good prices. The sandwich is always made fresh and is so consistently tasty. My favorite breakfast was an everything bagel #22 with cream cheese. This with their chai latte just made my day right. My coworkers LOVE their açaí bowls too! read more

Walked in and this deli was simple and clean, who doesn't love a clean place to eat . I was looking for a breakfast sandwich or something quick to eat before heading to work. The bacon egg and cheese croissant was sooo good i forgot to take a picture. I also love a nice cup of espresso I decided to get a latte with cinnamon and let me tell you it's so simple but I've been to so many places where they make it wrong. And it was delicious!!! Service was quick I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. It looks like they have a pretty good lunch menu but I'll never know since they close at 2:30 and that's usually when I have my lunch. But now I know where to go for breakfast! The owners I'm assuming are the ones that also work there and they were sweet and efficient. I'll be back read more

I actually stopped here thinking it was an Aperture coffee cafe since that what I found on Yelp for coffee, so I was confused when I walked in and realized it was a little deli shop. Having discovered that it was a deli shop, my fiancé couldn't resist ordering the sandwich of the day, despite having just eaten breakfast about an hour before. The sandwich of the day, which I believe was on a Tuesday, was a Philly cheesesteak. It was delicious! Great amount of meat, not much of onion or bell peppers but I didn't mind that since the sandwich had more meat to veggie ratio. We ordered some coffee as that was our main reason for stopping by. I just got a hot caramel macchiato like I typically order, which was just sweet enough to my liking. My fiancé got the cafe Saigon, which I believed contained condensed milk in the drink if I recall correctly. The cafe Saigon was really good, would have traded drinks if I could. Overall, a nice deli with plenty of snack, drinks, and some food options to pick and go, but it actually did feel more like a cafe. There were customers who were just working on their laptops with a coffee. Although a small space inside, the ambiance was chill and comfy like your normal coffee spot. It's a cute spot to see the couple running the deli shop. read more

After spending the morning looking at new vehicles, I started to get hungry, so I saw this place as I left the Hyundai Dealer driving down Ronson Rd. and decide to stop to get a sandwich. I ordered the California Club on sourdough bread. The sandwich included turkey, Swiss, bacon, avocado, lettuce. tomato, and I asked for no mayo for $5.89 plus tax. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/4HsoxSBnfUNhb-HMRiccZQ?userid=WG3w_73scm_JUWJ_3Lgn0Q#gkLmDlvGdC8b_VMzWuwOZw) The sandwich was good. It had plenty of fresh turkey, a descent amount of crispy bacon, and couple of slices of good swiss cheese. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/4HsoxSBnfUNhb-HMRiccZQ?userid=WG3w_73scm_JUWJ_3Lgn0Q#C_04Imj0oHW25HrVjSc9UQ) The tomatoes and lettuce were fresh but the avocado was almost non-existent. They put a few extra, I mean extra thin, slices of avocado. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/4HsoxSBnfUNhb-HMRiccZQ?userid=WG3w_73scm_JUWJ_3Lgn0Q#1a9TgLCK53HP7F2arHQJqg) I was bummed because that was the number ONE reason why I ordered this sandwich. The avocado is what makes it a California Club. Some more thicker slices of avocado would of earn this place at least 4 stars in my book. That being said, the place is very nice and so are the people who own it. They appeared to be a nice Asian family. Where's the avocado??? read more

Best service ever. My office has been going to this deli twice a week for the past 4 years. We fax in our order, and they put sticky notes of our names on our orders. They are amazing and always get our order perfect. They also have a stamp card, so we always get a free sandwich.

By far one of the best kept secrets of Kearny Mesa. They make simple sandwiches really well. Recommendations include: Sumdried Tomato and the Kearny Mesa Classic.

I had an average at best sandwich. Boring white bread, really bland. Not sure what all the hype is. If you work in the area it's probably pretty convenient. It's in an industrial area. Meh read more
