BLT
Maria Yerania L.

Stopped by after my hair appointment and picked up a BLT. I wants to try the breakfast sandwich but they stop serving breakfast at 11am. The sandwich was ready by the time I made it back from Brewjee Coffee. Lots of bacon! The bread was fresh and soft. There is no eating area, this restaurant is exclusively for take out.

Maserati sandwich that was supposed to have tomatoes and cheese

Recession indicator? This used to be my favorite sandwich - but sadly can't say that anymore. $9 for pesto toast is just too much. The stinginess w the cheese and tomatoes is ridiculous. When closed flat - it looks like there's nothing in the sandwich. Also I'll add that I ordered this on Door Dash. I specifically requested - "please enough tomatoes to cover the sandwhich " bc the last one I ordered was just as bad - but I thought it was a one time thing. Nope! Looks like this is how they are being told to make this sandwhich now. Taking this as a sign it's time to make sandwiches at home. Finally this would be 1 star but the cookies arrived ok.

Belair Sandwich
Victoria E.

This was my first time visiting. I didn't realize they made sandwiches. I found this spot on DoorDash and thought, why not? It had mixed reviews, so I was taking a chance. There wasn't a seating area inside. When you approach the door, that's where they take orders, and the menu is on the glass window. About two people were waiting to order, and one was waiting for their order. The total for the two sandwiches was $19.40. The staff member who took my order was friendly. My mom ordered the same sandwich I did, called the Bel-Air sandwich. I didn't get a chance to photograph hers, but she was disappointed, saying she had high hopes. The bread was very soggy and didn't taste fresh. The portion size was good. I didn't eat mine that day, so I saved it for the next day. I was thinking to myself, "oh boy, it's going to be super soggy now I might have to change the bread." However, that was not the case! The sandwich was good, and the bread wasn't soggy like I thought it would be or compared to my mom's! I finished the whole thing comfortably, and y'all, I saved it for the next day in the refrigerator, so I was expecting soggy bread.

Came here for the first time today for lunch around 12pm. Parking was kind of hard to find, everyone is constantly moving in and out of spaces to grab and go but it wasn't too crazy. We ordered the bel air and igniter. Both sandwiches had their own special flair and flavor profiles. It was awesome. We also ordered a cookie, I forgot what it was exactly but it was something along the lines of chocolate chip, walnut, and oatmeal(?) I'm so wrong but it's okay it was something along delicious. It's a grab and go spot so, no sit ins but you can stand around and eat if you wanted to I suppose... cute place though! you wouldn't expect it to be a sandwich spot. the long lines will definitely have you curious if you didn't know what it was right away. Great and quick service. I love the vibes they're going for and the location great. Coffee, breakfast, movies, more coffee and so much more nearby. Love downtown Salinas

Cookies are big
Youssef A.

We received a few cookies as a gift at work and they all liked it. It was fresh. It's big. I thought it was from Costco. Actually they are not crazy sweet which is OK with me. Good job.

Menu as of 5/2/2022

First off, if you didn't know about this place, you'd miss it because there are no signs anywhere. This place gives off hipster (and I mean Williamsburg, NYC) vibes. The interior is STILL closed due to COVID. I asked the manager there when they are going to open again, they said "this month". This place deals great sandwiches. I had the Tuna on brioche. Good amount of tuna & fixings. I'd come back. Price: $8.75. I didn't get chips or drink.

BelAir Sandwich
Melissa C.

Pretty decent sandwhich shop. Food is always fresh. I've tried both the bel air and the caddy sandwiches. My go to is the bel air. Lunch hour is always busy, so plan accordingly. Maybe 5-15 minute wait period. Onsite parking is limited, so I'd suggest parking in the lot next to it. Customer service has been good too.

How cute is this sandwich shop? I was in a bind after class and needed something to eat when I stumbled across The Bakery Station. The shop was easy to navigate to; however, I had no idea it was inside of an old gas station. Maybe a large sign could help the confusion some customers like myself may have. I ordered ahead because I saw online that it was takeout only. The wait was no more than 10 mins. I ordered the BelAir -- turkey breast, bacon, gouda cheese, spring mix, tomatoes, red onions, pepperoncinis with chipotle aioli on fresh sliced sourdough. The sandwich was fresh and yummy. The cost was $14.77 for my sandwich and a bag of chips. I would certainly come back to The Bakery Station, and recommend to friends.

expired chips
Mina M.

Checked out this spot for the first time earlier this week from a coworkers recommendation. Taking off one star because they served expired chips (August 2023 when it's October 2023) with my sandwich. Sandwich was tasty though. Bread was soft, cilantro aioli was tasty, meat tasted better than other deli meat. And they offered Fresca which is one of my favorite soft drinks. Pretty good sandwich spot.

‼DO NOT EAT AT THE BAKERY STATION‼ I wouldn't be talking shit if THE BAKERY STATION would've stepped up and taken responsibility with what was in my sandwich to the health department, instead they denied to having any complaints that day. Do not waste your time and money, UNLESS you want to be served with a side of MAGGOTS/FLY LARVAE.

Small but cute interior
sarah b.

I didn't realize it would be such a cute place! Tiny, but very cute. The BLT has deliciously crispy thick bacon, which makes the soft white bread (NOT toast, FYI) the perfect contrast. The Banh Mi wannabe (can't remember the name, but it's on a French roll) was tasty, but could use more spice. This is a really affordable place. I love how they have kids' sandwiches for only 3.75! I've definitely overpaid elsewhere, and then my kid only eats half. Every sandwich was under $10.

I drive by here all the time and didn't know what it was until I Yelped in today. I decided to give it a go and I was very pleased. The customer service guy was SO nice. They have a lunch combo special that includes 1/2 sandwich, chips or cookie and a drink for $9.00. The lunch combo came in a brown bag that made me feel like my mom packed my lunch for school and I liked the nostalgia lol. I got the tuna and the 1/2 was plentiful for me. I will definitely be going back to try their other sandwiches and cookies.

Chicken bone found in my sandwich (the igniter)
Alma C.

This was my first time here. I ordered the "igniter" without the mayo. Despite that they had several people waiting, the service was quick and professional. The staff was very friendly and I really appreciated that. The food is fairly priced. When I got home I tried my sandwich and it was delicious. It gave me vibes of a Vietnamese Banh Mi and I loved it. The only issue I had was that I found a chicken bone in my sandwich (see photo). Thankfully I spotted it right before I took another bite, but I couldn't help thinking of what could've happened if I hadn't seen it. Other than the bone, the sandwich was amazing. However, I am not sure yet if I would go back.

Bought a couple of scones to bring to work, kinda dry and fell apart after biting, pretty expensive, looked good, didn't hold up very well.

The best sandwiches in the town and the salads still serve you very well the place is very clean…read moreeverything is perfect

First timer here, ordered take out food was neatly wrapped reminded me a lot of the old togos's one…read moreof my all time favorites ! I chose this restaurant because i have a love of sandwiches , primarily in my area of Salinas... some other places that have been around for a very long time so read my review with that in mind please... As much as i enjoy giving 5 stars reviews to promote new and older businesses local! i must be very honest. I ordered a turkey sandwich with garlic pesto sauce, added extra meat and it came with cheese and lettuce tomatoes. i love sourdough a lot... my bread was very difficult to even bite into literally. I have to say the meat was minimal a thin slice of cheese and i could barely see the added avacado we added. i was hungry the size of sandwich as or looked big 8 inch. i as handed my sandwich and hubby says i hope you enjoy as it was $25 for the sandwich so i knew before i unwrapped it! I'm sorry, but i probably would have to give a 2 for the sauce taste of a hint of garlic pesto sauce is green usually and overall this sandwich was just A lot of "bread" not worth $25 i feel it could of been better ! for the extras we added and barely saw any of it period. In my opinion people making sandwiches either didn't weigh the amount of meats out in sandwiches and don't understand the extra and how much it costed. The presentation of sandwich was very professional. but not worth $25 at all. I hope management sees this review because i was hoping this would have been my new place for a good sandwich. the menu has so many selections. but unfortunately i can't see chancing spending $50 for two sandwich meals also side note: i didn't order full meal either no chips of drink. please give quality and quantity new time to avoid un happy customers. thanks anyways, i hope this place improves for future customers and maybe one day i'll try again?! just a lot of $$ for very little food and mostly bread and way to hard to eat... regards, Corina

We ordered avocado toast, French toast, banana pecan pancake, house potatoes, and an Aperol spritzer. My avocado toast was served on a single very thick piece of bread, which had a very generous amount of avocado smash and was topped off with this delightful and fresh arugula salad. I added an over easy egg for an extra charge that was the perfect balance. The house salad was simple with butter lettuce, cherry tomatoes, radish, cucumber, with a light lemon house dressing that brought the salad together. It was refreshing. The French toast is pretty standard. Nothing that particularly stood out. The banana pecan pancake was delicious and shared with everyone at the table. The house potatoes were extra crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, which I found particularly satisfying. Overall, we had a pleasant experience and found Portabello's to be a good brunch spot in Salinas. The service was fast, the food portions were big, the food tasted fresh, and it was a nice ambiance. I would definitely return for the avocado toast and potatoes. Side note - I noticed Caesar Salad was misspelled on the menu as "Caeser"

The restaurant has modern feel in the courtyard area is usually the best place for an outdoor brunch.
