This is a very new bakery/sandwich shop on the corner of Monterey St. and W. Gabilan. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that they didn't have a couple things in the station that is on the menu board and they don't have combos. Everything is made fresh daily and you can tell! I ordered a custom sandwich which was perfect for me since i'm really picky and it was so good and filling for only $6. Plus, it's local, so Check it out! read more

Tiny little place I would never think to go to. My work catered this once when I was in the area and it was so fantastic I decided to come in today. Friendly staff, and enough room for singles to eat. Try the supercharger. It's insane! read more

The Bakery Station - Sandwiches Near Me - Salinas, California

It's been awhile since I've written a review, but I can't not write one for The Bakery Station. Their meats and produce on their made to order sandwiches are amazing! I ordered the Bel Air and my BF got the Supercharger. We split the sandwiches so we could each try both. Personally I liked the Bel Air better. It's got just the right amount of kick that fits the turkey and bacon perfectly! The supercharger is huge, I couldn't finish mine, so I had to take it to go. If we ever drive through Salinas again, we will definitely be stopping by again! read more

Amazing sandwiches with decent prices. Parking can be a little challenging, especially if Door Dash blocks you in! Get the Bel Air, you won't regret it!! read more

I stumbled upon this place and absolutely love it! I always get the same thing... Blaire Sandwich and a Chocolate Chip Scone which I take with me for later. The food is amazing and the baked goods are good too. The staff is friendly and anytime I am in Salinas I make sure to eat here. Please go check them out!! read more

The Bakery Station - Sandwiches Near Me - Salinas, California

This is probably my favorite sandwich shop so far... I had heard good comments about this place but was hesitant to believe them until I tried it for myself. Well I did, and now I'm hooked. I do recommend you pre order because the lines are always out the door especially during lunchtime. My personal Favorite is the bel air. read more

Great Sandwiches made by friendly and cheerful people is the recipe for this eatery's success. The bread is all baked in house, the meats all prepared on site, the veggies fresh and the condiments are all home made. Which adds up to an excellent meal whether morning or midday. I'm might be bias as a twice a week plus customer, having grown genuinely fond of the owner, whose there every day, and her loyal staff. There is very little employee turnover which is the mark of a well run enterprise, which leads to a consistent production of quality eats! Only complaint is because nothing's pre-made if you get there late in the day they might be out of soup or quiche, so call in early to beat the lunch line. Two thumbs up from this eater! Oh, and every sandwich they make has a salad equivalent for those folks limiting their carb intake. I cannot give a stronger endorsement. Gary T. read more

Awesome sandwiches at a great price. Just ordered the bel air and split it with my husband. It was plenty for two people. And under 10 dollars. read more

The owner and her staff went out of their way to make a large order for me during the lunch rush! Not only are their sandwiches amazing but their customer service is fantastic. Thank you! read more

Absolutely wonderful, you can't go wrong. The employees are great. The food is made with fresh ingredients and will bring you back,

I order the VW sandwich dry, so no mustard or sauce. Great vegan option, this sandwich is so amazing and the apples make it perfect. Probably my favorite sandwich to get in Salinas area, sometimes I am so hungry I could probably order two and eat them both read more

One of the worst sandwiches ever. Had the Roadhog. All bread no meat. Brioche was so dry, I had to chew forever just to swallow a small bite. Pass on this place!!!!! read more

Loved the tri trip sandwich. All for a great price I'm glad I tried this place. The bread was so fresh and tasty also the vegetables also seemed fresh and delicious. They were quick and friendly . I will most definitely be coming back with my coworkers for lunch sometime read more

ordered the Belair for $8.95, it was delicious and a good portion. I will be back to try another sandwich.

I love this place with my whole heart. The sandwiches are incredibly delicious and the first day I had a Bel-Air the sourdough was hot out of the oven and the entire sandwich melted in my mouth. (My mouth waters just thinking about it!) The ingredients were fresh and plentiful. My daughter ate a chocolate cupcake with cookies and cream icing and I also got a slice of cheesecake.... holy moly. I was completely full after the sandwich, but I managed to make room for the cheesecake because it was so over-the-top delicious too. Parking is not ideal, but I've been able to get creative when parking and it certainly doesn't deter me from eating at the Bakery Station. My understanding is this owner is a local whose passion is baking. And it shows. Great customer service and amazingly delicious food. read more

What a great place for a great sandwich! The Bel Air is bomb and I cannot seem to order anything but that. Great local shop with a cool vibe. read more

The brioche that the breakfast sandwich came on was not only giant but amazingly tasty. This place was amazing. I can't say enough good things about it. The cheese was melted. The bacon was crispy. It was just perfect. The shop appears to be an old service station and they have super cute decor. Standard bakery fare. Scones, quiche, giant cookies. I didn't try any of it but it looked amazing. The girls behind the counter were very nice. I wish I lived in the same state so I could return again and again! read more

The bread was hard and possibly molding but they said it was baked daily and the marks were from oven. The place was incredibly hot and no air condition. The place appeared clean and tidy. The staff was ok but not too friendly, they never smiled. Probably would not return. read more

Epic food. Great service. Cool vintage vibes. I would highly recommend it to anyone who would want to enjoy one of the best sandwiches of their life. read more

great sandwiches. fresh bread and fresh ingredients. simple sandwiches but very tasty. recommend the starter for breakfast and the bel air and road hog for lunch. read more

From register to food with dirty hands! Both ladies handled cash at the register then went straight to the food surfaces to prepare food (no gloves, no washing hands). This was my first time here. There were no "hello"s or smiles at all. My to go bag had no napkins. I'm not just unimpressed, but very put off as one of the basics of professional food industry is clean hands.. read more

The Bakery Station is a great, cute, retro bakery and sandwich shop and I would highly recommend it. I feel like in the town of Salinas, it would be easy to settle for fast food of some kind, but please give this place a try. The two ladies working were extremely friendly, the decor is very charming (love the rest room retro americana art), and the sandwiches we had were great. They get extra points for having such an interesting vegetarian sandwich (the VW I think) that actually has some flavor... what an idea! Check them out- a great local business that will not disappoint. read more

Driving through, yelped this place! Yummy sandwich! We got the bel air! Turkey, bacon, sliced to order sd bread, spicy spread, spring mix, pepperonicini's Very happy with it, shared with my husband, a 1/2 sandwich was plenty! We'd stop here sgain! read more

I absolutely LOVE The Bakery Station! The VW vegetarian sandwich is out of this world! I literally dream about this sandwich! Sara and Julie are always happy to make my sandwich with extra veggies and have even saved my "special" order on a sticky note so when I come in for a sandwich they know exactly how to make it for me! Now how's that for good old fashioned customer service? I love the point system they have. It's easily managed and I've already earned a $20 gift certificate to use on anything they sell. I ordered a cake at the last minute and Sara was very sweet about getting it made for me and it was outstanding and quite reasonably priced. You will LOVE this sandwich shop and the lovely gals who operate it! read more

Love the tri trip sandwich on Friday and chocolate oatmeal cookies. The only thing it's hard to fine parking.

This is the ONLY sandwich stop you need in Salinas. I LOVE IT! My order is the VW with Chicken. Also, their gluten free chocolate chip cookies are basically the best desert I've ever had... and I'm not even a gluten free eater! Also, come on Friday for their home made TriTip!!! AMAZING. The staff is phenomenal and family friendly! They also have a rewards system which is unique to this type of eatery. Did I mention home-made bread and pastries?! read more

service is fast. order on the phone easy. delicious treats too, like Nannas kinda like mex. wedding cakes, cookies. Vegitarian options, well i get the VW. the Aoili spread is so yummy, i ask for xtra. bread is freshly made there, every day is yum. read more

The slow drip coffee is amazing. What can I say about chocolate scones- they are heavenly. Staff always attentive and ready to make you delicious food. read more

I guess if you are a regular you get special treatment, I brought my son to try it out while we were ordering a man I think fireman from the conversation the middle aged woman had with walked in. She was talking with him holding her hand out to me for payment when I was still trying to order more items. She kept her hand out and I had to shout 2 times "and a cheesecake" before she paid attention to me whom she was suppose to be helping. Top it off the cake wasn't even that good. read more

I don't get what all the fuss is about. We had three sandwiches and three cookies. One Tri tip, one veggie, and one kids turkey all for $38. The Tri tip had nothing on it but mayo and the turkey was plain. I left feeling robbed and was hoping that the flavor would blow me away, well it didn't. Still feeling robbed. read more

This was a spur of the moment stop, because of Yelp reviews. On our return home, we needed lunch. This place was so cute. The food was top notch and the bakery treats were HUGE. I had the choc chip scone and it was perfect. Super friendly. read more

This place is just plain BAD. At first, I was thrilled they sold cupcakes. The red velvet was great!! But then, it all went down hill. Their pastries are so dry and tasteless and they are way overpriced. I wonder how this place has managed to stay in business for so long. I even thought that I kept going on the day when they had left overs on stale bread. Sorry girls. But you need to step it up. read more

Short walk off Old Main in Salinas. Its a great building which was once a gas station. They've preserved the look and feel nicely. Its not a big place but there is seating inside. They bake all their own bread onsite and put out probably some the best sandwich in the area. All of the sandwiches are unique in name ,I usually go for the Belair and have never been unhappy. Good portions and service. read more

The 1 star is for the service. I work for a local health care facility and was asked to check this place for a catering event of 100 employees. I showed up, I told the person behind the counter, I had never been there-hoping she would introduce me to the menu, etc. instead she just stared at me from behind the counter. Did not offer suggestions, nothing. Just stared back at me. I asked about the cookies, she pointed to the cookies, blabbed off the choices...I randomly picked 3...paid and left. Poor customer service. So unwelcoming....this bakery Just lost a big catering order... read more

The bel-air sandwich can't be beat!!!! And I am a snob about good sandwiches(I admit it)!!! The price is a little steep for the sandwiches, but worth it read more

Co-workers rave about this place but I didn't like it. Tried two different sandwiches. Service is a little slow, nice people but one didn't know how to make something I ordered. Thought the bread was dry and almost stale it was so chewy.the meat was plentiful but the entire experience was too pricey for what I got. Probably won't return even if a friend wants to have lunch there. Don't understand the good press. It's a dumpy little bldg - still looks like a gas station from outside. Would much rather eat at the Salinas Donut Shop a couple blocks away. read more

On my follow up visit, I have to say that this place was a mild disappointment. I haven't had any of the "meal" type food; just taken bakery items to go. It seems like the size of the products had grown, the prices have grown, but the taste just was rather bland on the scone, muffin and cookie items. Maybe they just had an off day. I should give them another chance. read more

This place is great! It's pretty small and has a retro feel to it. The Bel-Air is awesome. I have yet to try the other sandwiches but I've heard they're all really good. The sandwiches are bit pricey but they are big. I would probably go more often if it wasn't as expensive. All in all, it's a nice alternative to the boring Subway sandwiches. read more

I think the owners are new. Went there and the folks behind the counter looked at me like I was about to rob the place. I haven't seen the regular owner and staff for a while. read more

WOW!!! What a sandwich. All i can say is great place to eat. service is great food even better. I have tried 2 sandwiches here and both out of this world. You can order by phone or with there app. Highly. recommend. FYI for lunch 1 sandwich can feed 2. read more
