    Stopped in here on a whim while on vacation and it was the best deli sandwich I've ever had. Great food and quick service. Small seating area but the food makes up for it.

    Nice little neighborhood place away from all the tourist places. Large sandwich menu. Really nice seating in the back garden. About a ten minute or so walk from the ferry . I had a really good BLT and husband had a ham, turkey and cheese. They toasted the Dutch Crunch roll and it was really good.

    I love this sandwich shop. Locally owned by a couple, and it's been in business for decades. The sandwiches are fantastic, and the outdoor patio with a water fountain is the perfect area to relax and enjoy your sandwich. I can see why it's been in business so long! They have tons of options including sandwiches , salads, gyros, sodas, and even bottles of wine. I got the gourmet deli sandwich with mortadella and salami. So good! Each sandwich is made with care, so it's not a super quick grab and go place, but the do offer it to-go. The couple making the sandwiches was pleasant. We found parking easily in the surrounding neighborhoods.

    When you want to escape the hustle and bustle of Downtown Sausalito during tourist season, just a couple of blocks away is the Sausalito Gourmet Delicatessen. It is such a hidden gem and their peaceful back patio transports you miles away from literally the crowds just a few blocks away. The owners and friendly and the gyro was delicious. That patio is so serene that you may want to just spend some time reading out there.

    This is a wonderful old school deli with so many wonderful choices it was hard to choose! Finally settled on a BLT on whole wheat and the Gourmet Special on a french roll. Both were very filling and delicious. We also had a chocolate brownie that was decadent and fudgy. We were helped by the owner who was very nice. He uses an old time cash register and counted back our change to us. It was so refreshing to see someone still do that. We sat in the back garden area and it was beautiful and so quiet, even with others enjoying their meals. I highly recommend this place if you are ever in the area.

    Prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato on toasted ciabatta - delish!

    Walking into this deli feels like walking back in time. It's been family owned since 1975...so almost 50 years! Wow! The original owners, a sweet husband and wife team from Greece, still run it. I imagine it's busy at peak breakfast and lunch time. I stopped in later in the afternoon around 1:30/2:00pm on a weekday and there were just two people ahead of me. Although the setting has an old-timey feel (lots of wood, European memorabilia, and likely the original menu board), the food and treats are fresh and appealing! I ordered a lunch special sandwich to go: prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato, and pesto on toasted ciabatta. Delish! Perfect ratio of ingredients and beautiful, fresh flavors. The deli has a few tables inside and a few more on their pretty back outdoor patio. What a treat and fun discovery. I'll definitely visit again when I'm in the area. Note: it's tucked back from the street and easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Look for it! It's worth it!

    What a darling little family owned deli in Sausalito! We were drawn to this spot for a quick lunch while walking the Sausalito area. It's a bit off the main area/shoreline, but worth it for this gem. The interior is classic deli vibes, with a large amount of fare for sale, plus a huge drinks wall and a deli. The deli menu is written on a chalk board with tons of different options and offerings. We arrived around lunch time, and there was a line. The service was friendly but moved really slowly - my only reason for docking a star here. It took roughly 30 minutes from waiting in line, getting our order in, paying, and waiting for our sandwiches which felt like a lot. I love the attention to detail they gave each sandwich, but some aspects were not overly efficient. However, the sandwich itself was amazing! They had gluten free bread and I got a classic turkey club with bacon. It hit the spot on a sunny day. We ate in their stunning backyard patio, covered by a gorgeous tree canopy with a water fountain trickling in the background. Vibes 10/10 here - highly recommend eating onsite if you can!

    This is an insanely charming, local, mom and pop delicatessen that is well worth anyone to stop in while in Sausalito. We ended up here based on the (well deserved) Yelp rating, and had no regrets. When you walk in, it's a very cute sandwich shop, that also carries some pre-packaged goodies, chips, and drinks. The menu above the deli is very old school, think handwritten with loads of information. I loved it. You'll wait in a line until it's your turn, then order at the counter and they'll call your order out when it's ready. Seating is mostly outdoors in their lush backyard garden. I had a BLT on dutch crunch (you've gotta get dutch crunch while in the bay area!) and it was delish! My only critique of this place is that if you happen in when it's busy it can be a very long wait to order, and receive your sandwich. The food is great, and if you aren't in a hurry I'd definitely recommend.

    I'm actually obsessed with this delicatessen. This might've been the best sandwich ever? NBD. This is a very down-to-earth and old school deli with tonssss of home made sides, salads, dips, and sauces, plus a wide array of deli meats and sandwich options. They had endless options of chips, snacks, and drinks that you don't find at other delis often. I think it's family owned because the only employees here was a cute older couple that was taking orders, making sandwiches, and running the place. Their outside space behind their building is absolutely adorable. That's where their seating is. There's fountains, flowers, greenery, and had truly such a nice and nature-y ambiance. Now onto the sandwich. I got the turkey bacon avocado sandwich on toasted nine grain wheat that came with mayo, tomato, and lettuce. I wanted to marry this sandwich. No joke. Every ingredient was so fresh and I loved the bread. I'm usually iffy with mayo but I loved their mayo. I can't explain it, it was just a freaking dang good sandwich. I highlyyyyy recommend this place for a life-changing sandwich!

    Great sandwiches. Many side choices available. Nice location to sit outside. Simple and nice. Clean and friendly.

    Hands down the best deli in nor-cal! It's always on my list of places to stop at when I'm in the Bay Area. I've been going here for about 5 years and the quality never disappoints! The owners are super sweet and always speak with kindness. It can get really busy even on the weekdays so please be patient as it's just the two of them working. It's definitely worth the wait! :) the patio outside is super cute and quaint, they have beautiful flowers out back and a little fountain. You can't beat the taste, location, or vibes :) check it out!

    Do you offer gluten free bread?

    Yes we do offer gluten free bread.

    Can we bring our dog to sit with us in the back patio?

    I don't think so as you have to walk through the deli to get to the back patio. I would call and ask first.

Warm sun, salty breeze, that glittering bay doing its thing. We stepped off the boat and walked straight into a small handmade vendor fair, plus an unofficial dog parade. Golden retrievers, tiny fluff balls, chill older pups all living their best lives. After wandering through the booths and poking around the cute little shops, we started the serious business of finding food and drinks that were dog friendly. Venice Gourmet basically made the decision for us. The harbor view alone is worth sitting down for but the charcuterie and champagne sealed it. We grabbed a table outside, ordered a spread, and just slowed down for a minute. Good snacks, good bubbles, boats drifting by, and great company. Easy day trip. Easy win. Would absolutely come back.

It's a lot thicker and creamier than the Strauss soft serve. I was impressed. I'm glad that they now serve the Jersey cow soft serve because the Buffalo one was pretty boring and too sweet. They no longer serve the Buffalo soft serve because the company was bought out and now they use the Buffalo milk for other items like cheese and no longer sell it for soft serve. Love this little market and if I move to Sausalito, I would be coming here quite often. And not just for the soft serve. They have a lot of very interesting items here. The items are all marked up a bit but otherwise good quality items and the food looks good. I've enjoyed their hot lunch here. All the prepare Foods look good too.

Your herbal soda was likely $6. So you likely were inadvertently overcharged (it happens with some of the older ladies who do check out), and you should have brought it up right then. Who doesn't pay attention to what you're being charged? In any event, those tomatoes aren't 2# each. You should rethink your unfair review and take responsibility for your inattentiveness first." What a busy body. Anyway, no, i didn't know what i was charged until i left the store. As anyone can probably attest to, pretty often these days when being rung up, the checker doesn't say the total anymore - they just scan your items and tell you to tap. So no, i didn't know what i was being charged at the time but this doesn't make the egregious pricing my fault, but nice try "Christopher B."

We were hungry and in a rush to get to our boat rental and didn't even notice the specials.

Everything was great especially the white chowder, fish tacos, and soft shell crab bao tacos, except the pasta con vongole was too salty. After looking at the pictures we decided we have to come back on Saturday. On Saturday the wait was 50 minutes, and the line went all the way around the fence. So many of the specials including the whole fish, which we went back for, got taken off of the list while we were waiting...tragic. If you're going on the weekend beware!! We ate in at the restaurant this time as we didn't have a reservation to get to. The outside was pretty hot and there's some seating inside and also in an adjacent room that nobody seemed to notice. We were still able to get 2 specials: rockfish ceviche and dumplings. The dumplings were so good - their homemade chili sauce is sweet and a mild spicy that builds. Rockfish was a bit lime-y, but a delicacy nonetheless. I would definitely come back on a weekday to enjoy the specials again!
