    Cupcake

    Ordered cupcakes for my baby shower & was disappointed to find that the actual cake was super dense & dry. They were like cornbread muffins! The presentation of the frosting was simple, nothing memorable. We had so many cupcakes leftover because of how dry they were :( cupcakes were 1 star, but I added in an extra star for how kind the gentleman was in helping us.

    Carrot cake

    I ordered a carrot cake for my daughter's birthday. I loved it! The frosting wasn't sugary. I will definitely order here again for future birthdays! I'm so glad I found this place. Great service too!

    Graduation chocolate cake

    So happy to have stumbled upon this bakery. We ordered a cake for a graduation- showed Alex a photo for inspiration and he nailed the design! The cake was so rich in flavor, moist, and beautifully decorated! Definitely recommend.

    Carrot Cake!~ Delicious

    This place was a total surprise! I found Royal Bakery off of Yelp and went down in person to talk to Alex. He was very friendly and helpful and I asked him if he could make a 1/2 sheet Carrot Cake with pecans instead of walnuts (due to allergies). He said "No problem, we offer that because a lot of people have walnut allergies.) Fast forward to getting the cake.. Holy Cow! was this thing absolutely delicious. It was for my wife's surprise birthday party. We had our family over and everyone said it's some of the best carrot cake they've ever had; I couldn't agree more. We'll definitely be coming back here again! Excellent work. PS. Don't let the picture fool you, this 1/2 sheet cake was huge! and it was roughly 4" inches high. Delicious!~

    a birthday cake

    I needed 2 birthday cakes for a party I was going to in Santa Maria, CA... and I live in San Jose, Ca. I couldn't find a bakery I like in Santa Maria, so next best thing is find a bakery half way ... in Salinas. I found Royal Deli & Bakery online and gave them a call... 1 week before my party. I spoke with Alex, explained what I needed. He said to text him what I wanted and with a couple of pics. I called the next day and they confirmed they they would be able to make two custom cakes by the next Saturday ... amazing! I called the day before pickup, I was told they would be ready. When I arrived, I was greeted and welcomed by the friendly young man in the front and told him I was here to pick up my cakes. I was nervous and excited - hoping they came out the way I wanted them too ... a big ask for ordering custom cakes over the phone. As soon as I saw the cakes... I was floored. They did an AMAZING job! I couldn't of asked for more perfect cakes!! And not only did they look AWESOME, they tasted fantastic! Everyone loved them at the party! Thank you Royal Deli & Bakery - you guys are AWESOME!

    I forgot to leave a review after receiving my daughters birthday cake. It was 2 weeks before her party & I had tried a different cake shop in the area to do the Pokémon cake I was requesting but said they couldn't do it because apparently they don't use fondant. So then I was searching google for nearby cake shops & came across the Royal Bakery. The cake came out amazing & we all fell in love! I showed a picture of what I had wanted, he was honest & gave suggestions about the cake: using fondant vs frosting of the cake I was requesting. He knows what he's doing when it comes to his work & I really appreciated his kindness & effort to ensuring the cake came out perfectly for my daughters birthday. Definitely coming back for future cakes 10/10 :)

    Our wedding cake was perfect!  This cake not only looked wonderfull but tastes amazing!

    Our wedding cake was three different flavors. We had red velvet, from scratch, for the lower and upper layers. We also went with chocolate mousse and a white cake with fresh strawberries! This cake went fast! Guest were coming back for seconds! Not only did it look great but it tasted amazing! Thank you Royal Deli!

    Tiramisu was delicious.

    Tiramisu was a hit for my brother and sisters birthday! Will definitely be buying again!

    8/10 I ordered the…read moreSupercharger and the Belair, and overall both sandwiches were solid, filling and generously packed. Starting with the Supercharger, this was easily the standout of the two. It's loaded with roast beef, bacon, turkey, ham, salami, pepperoncini, tomatoes, red onions, gouda cheese, and chipotle aioli on a ciabatta roll. They definitely don't skimp on the meat, which makes it super satisfying. The combination of the soft ciabatta and cheese worked really well together and balanced out the heaviness of the meats. My only complaint is that it could've used a bit more sauce, something like extra mustard or mayo would've taken it to the next level. Still, a strong 8.5/10. The Belair was decent but didn't quite hit the same level. It came with turkey breast, bacon, gouda cheese, spring mix, tomatoes, red onions, pepperoncini, and chipotle aioli on fresh sliced sourdough. Ours actually came with American cheese instead of gouda, which slightly changed the flavor profile. It was a good sandwich overall, but noticeably drier, especially with the sourdough, so it definitely needed more sauce to bring everything together. I'd give it a 7.2/10. Service was fast and efficient, which I appreciated. The ambiance stood out too, it has a cool retro gas station vibe that gives the place some personality and makes it feel unique. Staff was friendly, and the overall experience was smooth.

The only thing I was pretty excited about trying a cookie and we were not able to because they still have Covid precaution to where you cannot step inside the establishment. It's all good. The sandwich was great. The service was nothing to write home about, but the food was good and that's all that matters.

The soup of the day was split pea, I've never had a better one! With chunks of ham and vegetables, it was the perfect amuse-bouche! Next comes the Tri-tip sandwich! Tender, juicy and full of flavor! Last but never least, the ribs! Tender, fall off the bone, smoky! We got the full rack for four of us, we each took home ribs for the family!

The trip was completely spontaneous since we had been in Big Sur earlier that day, but it ended up being well worth the drive. I never would've expected this market to be tucked away at the end of a residential street, but once you get close, you can smell the food before you even arrive. The sandwich was incredible...huge enough that we had to share it. The meat was so juicy it was literally dripping down my fingers, and I made an absolute mess eating it. I would definitely return. It truly feels like a hidden hole-in-the-wall spot run by hardworking, down-to-earth people. The owner was personable, engaged in friendly banter, and made the experience even better. Plenty of locals stopped by during our lunch, and what really stood out was that he even remembered my friend despite him not having lived in the area for the past three years.
