    I was really excited to try this NEW place, but unfortunately both drinks missed the mark. The Biscoff Matcha was very bitter and not sweet at all. Employee let me know I can adjust anything if needed so I asked for a bit of vanilla and one of the employee said "More Vanilla?!" well yes it's definitely needed. Still wasn't good and just thrown away. The Nutella Dalgona was also very strong and not sweet, so neither drink was enjoyable for my taste. I paid $17 for two drinks, so I was expecting a better experience. I would suggest making the matcha a bit sweeter to balance out the bitterness, especially for flavored specialty drinks like the Biscoff Matcha.

    You guys, this place is LEGIT. I came in on a random Sunday evening, wow did I come across a…read moregoldmine. The other yelp reviews are totally right, this place is definitely a top tier deli. I'd highly recommend both things I got (Reuben sandwich and mac salad) The reuben sandwich had a perfect amount of meat, perfect taste to it and had just the right of fat (cheese) as well as acidity (sauerkraut!) I would drive from Poway just to get this. Yes, you read that right. The mac salad is a nice add to the meal, the noodles are still very al-dente. The taste is identical to a traditional potato salad except swap the potatoes with al dente mac salad. Owner was super nice and had a lot on his hands but he managed to take 3 or 4 orders in during the time he made my sandwich. And take care of his daughter! I'm definitely coming back. I almost don't want to write this review, I kinda wanna gatekeep it. But nope everyone should have the joy of eating here. Oh yeah, Yelp is asking me to write about ambiance. The vibes were IMMACULATE!

This place gets very high marks on Yelp but I was a little dubious. But it feels great when someone exceeds your expectations. The Reuben sandwich I ordered looked fairly ordinary but it was excellent. I loved it and literally wolfed it down. The basic turkey and cheese sandwich was fresh and delicious. The Italian sandwich (which included your usual assortment of Italian meats) was great. All of the breads used and ingredients were very fresh. I saw them scooping fresh avocado onto the sandwiches. That is what I like to see. They are not skimpy with anything here. These sandwiches are not life-changing but they are very well-made and delicious. The generosity with their ingredients is appreciated. Well worth a visit.

We ordered a Banh Mi sandwich which was one of the best I've had. The vegetables were pickled In House and were Awesome, really made the sandwich in my opinion. The bread was from a local bakery, soft and airy....Soooo good. My daughter ordered Crispy Rice which was flavorful and fresh. The owner was friendly and interacted with her customers as they were family. I highly recommend this place and yes I will definitely be back.

When researching (we are not from this area -not familiar) we thankfully stumbled upon this establishment. Thank GOD. Garlic shrimp spring rolls! Reee Mix! Wow! Juat wow... Spring rolls will never be the same for me. (In a good way-now Ill have to come back) My friend, Eric, ordered the Katsu chicken curry bowl and loved it. They separated the curry so you just pour he amount you like and additionally it doesn't make the bomb @ss chicken soggy. The Bahn mi was Bomb for me. Definitely returning and highly recommend. We also got the pleasure to meet one of the sisters-Matty! She is awesome and a great chef. Thank you Matty!!! -Randy

    OK, it's Friday night and you live in Cardiff or you're visiting Cardiff what are you gonna have…read morefor dinner that everyone is gonna love? You're gonna go into Seaside and go to the counter and say I want the classic Cardiff crack sandwich, which will feed at least two people and maybe a kid beside. Then you gotta go down and lock the chip aisle and get your favorite chips. Maybe a nice bottle of wine check out go home and eat! When we first moved down here, I wasn't a huge fan of Cardiff crack, but I've become to look forward to every chance I get to have it. I know why it's a legend, so if you're in the neighborhood, stop and get it.

The portion is generous enough to share, and it's so much easier than dealing with the crowds, parking, long waits, or having to bus your own table like we seem to encounter at so many places around San Diego. For dinner, we often stop by the deli and seafood counter to pick up cooked shrimp and a few sides. We take everything back to our Airbnb, warm it up, and enjoy a relaxing dinner on the patio. It's become one of our favorite vacation traditions. The dessert case is incredible, and choosing just one treat is nearly impossible! I do miss the tuxedo custard mousse cake (or whatever it was called)--it was absolutely delicious. It's also a great place to grab lunch meats, fresh rolls, or bread for easy beach sandwiches. Best of all, the staff is consistently friendly and genuinely enjoys chatting with customers. I've had so many pleasant conversations with people at the seafood, meat, and deli counters over the years. Great food, great service, and always a stop we look forward to on every trip.

Their freshly baked cookies are pretty fantastic too! They also have a variety of frozen items you can take home and heat up yourself, including pies, breads, and more. Their menu is pretty simple. We went for breakfast, I had the avocado toast and added eggs. It was so refreshing, especially with the balsamic on top. My husband got two of their quiches, and we split a cinnamon roll. Everything I've tried so far has been delicious, and it's such a great option if you're limited to a gluten-free diet. The staff is also very friendly and happy to answer any questions you may have.

Based on the description, I expected an individual round quiche that was approximately 4 inches in diameter. Instead, I received a relatively small slice cut from a larger quiche, which was nowhere near what I would consider a 4-inch quiche. It essentially looked like a small little cake slice. They also don't display the quiche, instead they hide the quiche in the back so it just kinda feels deceptive. To make matters worse, the quiche itself was somewhat dry. For $10, I expected a 4" quiche and a better overall experience. I was genuinely excited to try this place and had high hopes, which made the experience even more disappointing. Hopefully the description can be clarified so future customers know exactly what they're ordering.
