I'm always comparing every other deli I try to this place, and most just don't pA'ss the test. The sandwiches are fA'st, fresh, and consistently fantA'stic, but the customer service is what really sets them apart. The staff hA's always been friendly, and you actually feel welcomed when you walk in. It's one of those places where grabbing a sandwich is just eA'sy. I've also used them to cater events in the pA'st, and the sandwiches are always a hit. People inevitably A'sk me where they're from. Yes, even Giants fans can make a fantA'stic sandwich. Can't recommend this place enough!

When people discuss quality grocery stores, Corti Brothers is often mentioned when it comes to the…read moreSacramento region. I don't know how I have lived in Sac for 25 years and have never been here. The store is filled with eye popping quality foods. Think of it as a smaller version of Whole Foods when it comes to food quality and prices. I noticed they had some top quality cuts of meats. The prices are quite high so I'll have to splurge some time on a nice steak. I did notice some items were pretty reasonably priced. For example, I was rather surprised to see they had a very large variety of Temple coffee beans for for $14.99 a bag. That's cheaper than I have seen elsewhere but I didn't pay close attention to the size since I was fully stocked on coffee at the moment. I had to try one of their legendary made to order sandwiches. Someone had recommended The Tuscany. Boy, was that delicious! And the sandwich was very large for $9.99, I couldn't finish it all in one sitting. There are tables outside so I purchased a bottle soda and a sandwich. Unfortunately, I didn't think ahead because there are no bottle openers available for customers to use so I was unable to enjoy my nice cold drink with my sandwich. I'll have to either bring my own bottle opener next time or choose a drink that is a screw top or flip opener.

I've always wanted to try their sandwiches because I've heard so many people rave about them! The…read morefirst sandwich I tried was the Corti Special on a Dutch Crunch roll, and the second time I also got the Corti Special, but on a sweet roll. The Corti Special is where they choose the types of meat that go into your sandwich. Their sandwiches are big enough for two people. I don't remember exactly what meats were in my first sandwich, but I definitely enjoyed that one more. The second time, the sweet roll got a little soggy for my liking, and I wasn't a big fan of the beef that was included. I am definitely a fan of their honey mustard, though! You can order your sandwiches online, or if you're ordering in-store, there's a slip you can fill out with your order. I waited about 20-30 minutes for my first sandwich, which wasn't too bad considering it was a busy weekend. The second time, I only waited about 5 minutes. They still have a great variety of meats, cheeses, and alcohol. It's a good place to stop by if you're looking to pick up some specialty grocery items along with a sandwich.

I got a heads up on this place from yelp, from time to time, they send me suggestions on new places…read moreto try it sounded good so I decided to check it out. The place was very clean, and everybody I dealt with was very friendly and helpful. It's tucked into the back of the Shell station at Bradshaw and old Placerville, but believe me, these are *NOT* your typical "gas station sandwiches." they have a decent sized menu. You can order at the counter, but I went ahead and just use the self order screen. , I ordered the Italian, with Aioli, Pepperoni, Salami, Ham, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Oregano, and their Vinaigrette. When you pay, you also enter your phone number so they will let you know when the sandwich is ready. They were busy, as it was lunchtime. Still the sandwich came quickly. I got the text that my sandwich was ready at the same time that they called my name. The sandwich was very good. I liked their aïoli and the vinaigrette, you could tell that they were good quality, meats, and the veggies were very fresh. They were very generous with the fillings. I had it on sourdough, and it was a very good quality sourdough as well. I ordered a small sandwich, and it was enough to fill me up. For what I got, the price was extremely reasonable. I would definitely come back. Thanks for the suggestion, yelp!

The list of ingredients might seem like a lot when you read through it, but everything actually goes really well together. The sandwich also wasn't soggy, which I really liked. The Dutch Crunch bread was surprisingly soft and not hard at all, making it easy to eat. Ike's has a huge selection of sandwiches on the menu, so it can be a little overwhelming trying to decide what to order. I do think the sandwiches are a bit overpriced. My sandwich and a regular drink came out to about $22. The employees here are nice, and they made my order pretty quickly. This is a smaller location, but there are still a good amount of tables available. One thing to note is that it can get a little loud inside. I believe it's from the oven, but it can definitely be noticeable while eating.

Momma runs the café alongside her family, and you can taste the care that goes into every item. The pastries are outstanding. We tried the baklava, a specialty Neapolitan pastry, and a delicious cream-filled pastry topped with crushed Biscoff cookies and cream. Each one was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. For lunch, we ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini, the Tri-Tip Chimichurri Sandwich, and the Tri-Tip Southwest Salad. Every dish was generously portioned, fresh, and packed with flavor. The specialty sandwiches and salads are definitely worth coming back for. They also serve Pete's Coffee and have a high-end espresso machine for anyone needing a quality caffeine fix. The café is open for breakfast and lunch until 3 PM, so be sure to come early. The interior is lovely, with plenty of seating for groups, easy-to-read digital menu boards, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff was friendly and made us feel right at home. If you're looking for great food, amazing pastries, excellent coffee, and genuine hospitality, Cafe 33 is a must-visit.

If you want something fancy and elegant, come to Estelle. I came on a Tuesday afternoon and the…read moresmall parking lot was full. Thankfully there's some side resident parking. Walking in, the line was short but the staff took a really long time servicing people. Since it's a 2hr drive from SF to Sac, you know I'm about to bulk buy. The case had a good selection but quite a few were sold out already. Everything looks really delicious but I had to control myself. Almond Croissant $7.50 - I don't remember what this tasted like so it must've been standard. Matcha Croissant $9 - Don't let the price deter you because for $9, you get a big filling croissant and it was honestly so delicious. The dipped part was like a white chocolate matcha and the inside matcha filling was so good. I don't know how but I fridged it and ate it the next day, IT WAS STILL CRISPY! This was the highlight and highly recommend getting it. Blueberry Choux $11 - This was also really good too. The blueberry filling was creamy and delicious. It tasted really fresh. Macarons $2.95 each - Standard stuff. I got a Thai coconut cream and this is a flavor I haven't seen before and recommend trying it! In summary, highly recommend trying this place. It is on the pricier side but if you're like me and don't go to Sac often, I would give this place a try and buy extra!!

It was delicious. Today I tried the bbq chicken equally delicious. WARNING: Jr, Regular,and supreme refers to the size of the sandwich not what goes into it. Jr. Is still 6 - 8 inches. This is primarily a grab and go. They also have a wide range of potato chips and an impressive selection of hard to find sodas. The only Place to sit is on the outside patio but. Mckinnley park is just a few blocks away. This is a great place to grab a sandwich and go picnic in the park. I can't wait to come back and try something different

Need a quick fix for some delicious BBQ smoked meats in the are? Roxie is definitely worth the pit…read morestop! Thursday was brisket day so we ordered 3 pounds along with 3 sides each of mild and spicy BBQ sauces to go, intended to eat it later in the day. Didn't bother with ordering anything else - our one goal was to try their meat! Once ready to feast, bake it in the oven for 20 min at 275 degrees to heat. Time to feast! Every bite was juicy, succulent, and savory with the sauces. MmmMm! Sauces are a must, though, because the meat was quite bland without it. Didn't have any smoky flavor (or any flavor at all), but when you slather the sauce all over the meat then you'll experience the real taste that's intended. Fast and prompt service, plenty of outdoor tables for dining, and parking is available on the street. Want some ribs? Wednesday is the day you want to head over if their daily meat schedule doesn't change. Worth a stop if you're in the area but I wouldn't get well out of my way for this joint. It's fantastic, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't consider Roxie Deli & BBQ a hidden gem. Nonetheless, it'll fix your BBQ cravings!!

So a local food reviewer on IG recently did this thing online where he visited many local Banh Mi…read moreshops in Sacramento and of course he ranked them. Well he ranked this one very high, in fact it was his number one-so I had to check it out. The shop is located on Arden Way at a small little nondescript strip mall but they do have plenty of parking,so no issue there. Walking up to the shop they do have a few tables on an outside patio for customers to enjoy. Inside the shop it's very clean with a familiar color scheme-thinking In-N-Out/Five Guys.It's very nice in there. The two workers inside were very efficient, the cashier was overly friendly and welcoming and the other,the sandwich maker, was just quietly grinding out sandwiches the entire time-I appreciated that. They have pretty good menu options but I kind of just went traditional with my lunch order. I ordered a crispy pork banh mi.(10.95) I also ordered both the pork and shrimp spring rolls($4.00 x 2 )to try. It wasn't super busy during this lunchtime so I got my order pretty fast,probably under 12 minutes I would say. Let's talk about the food. I always tell people if I had a personal chef,I would have them make me spring rolls every day for my afternoon snack-I love them so much,so I had high hopes for these. The meat on the pork spring rolls was pretty hearty and kind of took over the spring roll but it was still pretty tasty. The shrimp spring rolls though were a standout, the natural taste of the shrimp along with the other fresh ingredients made the shrimp version stand out. I'm relatively new to the world of Banh Mi but in a very short time I feel like I'm all in and have tried more than a few places and definitely have my favorites,when it comes to bread selections and fillings,but I'm still figuring out my palate in the vast banh mi world. That being said-I really loved this banh mi. It was put together so well,pork was well seasoned and crispy,a nice amount of fresh,snappy,yummy veggies and the bread tasted very fresh. I won't say it's my favorite banh mi, because my number #1 spot is pretty locked up but I really enjoyed the sandwich here. This place is so close to my work,I can easily see it becoming my "Go-To" spot for banh mi. I 100% recommend this shop.

The crispy roast pork banh mi was so delicious & flavorful! The bread was fresh, light, & airy. The pork was seasoned well, crispy, & juicy. It tasted refreshing. As someone who always orders extra pate, I was sad when it didn't originally come with it but the Maggi lemongrass sauce is delicious, bold, sweet, & tangy. It complimented the banh mi very well & didn't need pate at all. I appreciate that the sauce came on the side as someone who prefers savory meats over sweet meats. I ended up using the sauce for every bite. The drinks looked interesting but I didn't order one since I already had a drink. Would try one next time. The place was clean & the staff was friendly! Excited for my next visit!
