It's the only sandwich she will order as a roast beef purist. She ordered the rare roast beef sandwich today at Gelsinger's and was impressed by the look of the sandwich and even more impressed with the first bite. Sadly she informed me that we no longer needed to go to Canters. That won't happen and I can enjoy both places. I ordered the roast beef dip and it was delicious. The onion rings were high quality with good flavor and crunchy. The place is very clean and inviting. The customer service was great and very friendly. We definitely will be back to try their burgers and for sure the muffuletta. Don't worry Canters, I will be back soon.

The pizza is always top notch--consistently delicious with great flavor every single time. It's the kind of place you can count on, and that consistency really matters.

Like many people I drive by Gardenia market on a daily basis but never think to stop in. I was…read morelooking for a different pizza spot than my usual go to's and GMD&P had good reviews, some making pretty bold claims. I went to order online and realized there is the common convenience fee tacked on. I decided to order the old fashioned way, go there in person. Then I can browse the store while I wait. It has the usual stuff you'd expect to find in mini markets. But there are hidden gems in the dusty corners like a vintage bottle of Trader Vic's Mai Tai cocktail mix. I didn't check the price but I'm wishing it still had the price tag from 1975 on it. Made me think of the Werewolf of London drinking a Pina Colada and his hair was perfect. Another good find was a dusty bottle of Crème de Menthe. It made me want to look up the recipe for a Grasshopper. I don't know if these old mixer's are for sale or just museum pieces. The sandwiches look pretty good, I'll have to try one another time. Overall the veggie pizza was pretty good, but a bit heavy on the veggies. I generally like fewer toppings, but everyone is different. I suppose in the future I could ask to go light on the toppings. But I'd rather they be generous rather than skimpy.

The owner was an absolute delight--chatty, warm, and sweet, and he honestly reminded me of Belle's father from Beauty and the Beast! He made us feel so welcome and even brought us a sample of his homemade tomato basil soup, which was delicious and tasted truly homemade. The turkey and avocado sandwich is apparently a favorite, as is the pastrami. I'm a vegetarian, so I ordered the avocado and cheese, which was fresh, simple, and satisfying. What really makes Berge's special, though, is the atmosphere. It has that cozy, old-fashioned neighborhood feel where you can settle in, have a good sandwich, and actually chat with the person behind the counter. Such a sweet little La Cañada institution.

I ordered the pastrami sandwich, a cup of the tomato soup, and something I never do a Grape Crush. It just felt like the kind of place where you have a classic soda with your meal. Everything was wonderful, but what really stood out was how comfortable and cared for I felt. It wasn't just a meal; it was an experience that left me feeling genuinely nourished. If you're looking for great food, warm hospitality, and a place with nostalgic, feel-good vibes, I highly recommend stopping by.

I have been shopping at this market for many years, and I have always been welcomed by their kind staff. There is always music playing and the workers there are absolutely helpful. The meat and the vegetables are always fresh. I regularly purchase their homemade food which is amazing. They also make fresh sandwiches in the deli department which are very satisfying. No matter what time of their working time I have asked for sandwiches, they have made me the best I could ever taste. The wait time is very short. Great market overall!
