Found this little gem of a deli on way to San Luis Obispo! An old gas station repurposed into a deli - what a neat idea! Sandwiches were tasty - fresh bread! Got to meet the owner's wife - very personable! read more

Great atmosphere. Sandwich was great. Their baked goods are sweet. I recommend the bel air. Or VW. Support local businesses Thanks read more

Wow what a cool place in the heart of down town salinas. Love the sandwiches and the names of the sandwiches attributed to car culture. Really cool classic aesthetic. Oh and let's not forget the bread that's made in house. Brioche Buns! Yes please! I also had a blueberry muffin that was out of this world! Can't wait to try it again! read more

I ordered online due to Covid, and the sandwich was ready when I pulled up. I love this new method of pre-paying online and just grab&go! The sandwich was warm and delicious. The portion size was enough for two meals :) It's a shame it took me so long to discover this place. I'll definitely be a repeat customer! The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because I want to try a different sandwich next time. read more

I'm so happy to have found The Bakery Station! They're open early so that I can make the stop before I head into the office & start my workday. Brothers Tony & Issac are the friendliest and have made some great suggestions for me to get to know their menu. My first sandwich order yesterday was The Caddy - roast beef, fresh greens, cheddar cheese & crème fraîche on a fresh French Baguette was incredibly delicious. My second visit, I ordered The Maserati - a panini style sandwich with Pesto, Swiss Cheese & sliced tomatoes on sliced sourdough was equally delicious. Luckily both sandwiches were cut in half and easy to have for another meal. They also have an assortment of scones, cookies & other baked treats in addition to salads & fresh fruit cups to add to your order. Fresh brewed coffee done pour over style and assorted cold beverages round off the menu. All sandwiches can be customized to order so that wound be another dining adventure to look forward to! read more

There tri-tip is the best I have ever had. If your looking for fresh ingredients its the place to but if your looking for Tri-tip you got to wait until Friday's. read more

When I went to pick up my order of 4 V.W. sandwiches, which was my second trip in three days, I realized I might need to take the time to share this wonderfulness with the world. The Bakery Station is my definition of the lunch mecca of Salinas (although they make breakfast and desserts, too- I just haven't been able to make anymore room in my stomach after my sandwich orders)! An ideal combination of quality ingredients, unique menu items, fun retro atmosphere and real human beings behind the counter who remember your name, what you typically order and deliver a level of service you seem to only be able to find these days in small, privately owned businesses. I don't know how anyone could come up with anything even remotely negative about The Bakery Station. Keep up the great work, ladies! I know I'll see you again soon :) read more

This place is one of my absolute favorites for lunch. I always get the Bel Air because it's amazing, the flavors explode in your mouth. I am certain that their other sandwiches must be amazing too. Their bakery goods are like something out of a Disney movie, huge and picture- perfect and so, so yummy. I also want to add that the place is ADORABLE and the staff are all so nice and friendly. I stop by here every chance I get, and you should too. read more

The absolute best deli sandwiches we have ever had, anywhere!! And they were HUGE! It was a little difficult to find because we thought it was a restaurant, not just a take out place. It is in an old gas station. But again, don't be fooled, you will Love it! read more

I only ordered three things on the phone. A sandwich, a brownie, and some potato salad. When I arrived I was told we don't have any brownies or potato salad! When I asked why I wasn't told that on the phone, I was told flatly I didn't take your order!. I'll never be back.Went to Ike's Got a great sandwich, potato salad and a huge brownie! read more

Loved it ! I recently found out I'm allergic to wheat, which makes bakeries a deterrent for me. I took a Chance. I tried the Bel-Air (with no bread) (-.-) aka a salad version aka protein style aka gluten free. They served with a side of sauce that comes on the sandwich and a bed of spring mix. I requested extra pickle. They granted my request. The verdict: awesome service! Awesome salad version sammich. And nostalgic feel to the once upon a time feel to a 50's style Gas station. You rock guys ! Thanks for great service! read more

I had driven past the bakery station many times without going inside. It is small inside with very few dine-in seats. I sat at the window. It is also warm and a bit stuffy inside, so beware if you are going during the lunch rush and want to eat there. I ordered the VW without onions- and it was amazing. It seemed a bit strange to me to have apples, jalapeños, and cheese in a sandwich, but WOW, it was delicious. My co-worker ordered it without the apples (against the wishes of the preparer) and honestly, I don't know how I would feel having the sandwich without the sweetness and crunch of the thinly cut apple slices. Amazing! I would definitely come back here. The ladies that work here are so sweet. read more

The Bakery Station is a good place to visit if you are looking for a good sandwich and a visit to the past when the place you got gasoline for your car back in the 50's was called "The Gas Station" - or even "The Service Station" when there was service. I was wondering why the word "bakery" was in the title. It is because they make their own bread and cookies. The cookies are 5 star! Not overly sweet as most places are in the habit of making them - but full of natural flavors of the grains that builds the cookie. The sandwiches are huge! You will certainly not want to eat for a while after ingesting one of these babies - or the "lunch special" which includes a drink, cookie/chips with your sandwich. (Get the cookie!) The decor of the station is items from the era of the Gas Station, old photos and advertisements. My favorite is above the sink in the restroom: an advertisement of service stations that had the "Clean Restroom" placard. This was the draw to the gasoline station: clean restrooms. The add has testimonials of customers about how clean the bathrooms were at these gas stations. Interesting reading while you wash your hands. You can get your sandwiches "to go" or eat them at the station. This is definitely a hangout for locals. I saw farm workers, medical workers, families and retired people here. This is a good place to visit if you want an above average sandwich or a fantastic cookie! It is not a chain - it's unique and special. read more

Super yummy sammiches!! I had the Bel-Air, turkey and smoked gouda on sourdough. The sourdough had some serious mouth appeal. Soft but springy enough to support the weight of this MASSIVE brick of a sandwich. I ate a half of a half. The trimmings were super fresh and the chocolate chip cookie was HUGE in size and HUGE in taste. Nom Nom. Would totally 5-star this, but minus one for the parking. Super Cute...and they have diet RC Cola. SCORE! read more

Ordered one sandwich in the morning to pick up in afternoon, but they gave away the bread I wanted because another customer placed a bigger order that brought in more business for them. I ended up not having anything for my lunch. Every customer should be treated the same know matter what they order, big or small. Going to a deli that treats you with more class and not being greedy. Sincerely, Unsatisfied Customer read more

One of the best sandwiches I've had in recent memory because of the amount/variety and meats in my Supercharger sandwich. The sandwich is a behemoth and a half sandwich that comes with the lunch special is more than enough to satisfy most people's hunger. The lunch special also comes with a drink and cookie/chips. A great deal There are only two tables and a few counter seats so don't expect to eat here with a large group. It looks like a converted gas station and if you look around you'll see some retro Texaco pictures and ads as decorations. Very neat place for a casual bite and some good food. read more

I have eaten hear several times and was never disappointed but this time was different. This place has gone down hill the sandwiches had almost no meat. The bread was very dry, my pull pork was so bad I took two bites and threw away. As you can see by my pics the bread to meat ratio was ridiculous. I will never come back this place again what a shame they has a good thing going on. read more

Delicious bel air and super delicious pastries! A little pricey for sandwich but it seems to be the trend now. Reliable and fast service! read more

This is a really great little place. We liked our sandwiches a lot - we customized the Bel Air a bit (no bacon, on the baguette) and it was very tasty - and huge! We split one for lunch, which was the perfect size. I was impressed by the quality of all the ingredients - the bread was excellent and the greens were a really great touch. We couldn't resist the Mexican wedding cookies (in great colors!), which were very good. I also like that there are some breakfast options - we tried the yogurt + granola cup. Also the people working were SUPER friendly and very nice - I would definitely stop here the next time I'm in Salinas! read more

You will not be disappointed. I got the Turkey sand which and didn't change anything on it and it was amazing!

Had lunch from here yesterday and it was awesome! I had the supercharger minus the veggies and I was not expecting such a big sandwich for the price. It was not only big, it was terrific. The bread was soft, fresh, and full of flavor. The chipotle mayo was so good I am going to figure out how to make it so I can use it at home. I just wish they had one closer to me.. read more

Working from home sometimes I don't get time to cook and love ordering from the bakery station. Pretty amazing to get such good sandwiches delivered right to the house. Sometimes we get fresh baked cookies- what a nice treat during the pandemic. Thank you! read more

Amazing sandwiches with all ingredients fresh or homemade. Great prices and good food, can't go wrong. Only bummer is that they are closed on weekends and close before dinner each day. Wish they had extended hours! read more

Everything here is amazing. The Belair, tuna melt, VW and tri tip on Fridays. They bake their own bread, potato salad is great too!

The Bel Air...oh Good Lord. This place has truly amazing sandwiches. Let me describe something to you...we've all had amazingly good sandwiches in our lives, right? I mean, most of the time, we go to a restaurant and get a sandwich and think "Ok, this is not bad. I can live with this." Or we'll go to Subway or Quizno's and think "I am eating a sandwich...that is what I am currently doing. I have no emotion for this event because it's not that impressive." But Bakery Station?! Oh sweet, sweet Bakery Station. This place has those sandwiches that have you saying MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM the WHOLE TIME! EVERY BITE! Where do I start? Oh right...duh...THE BREAD! THE BREAD is RIDICULOUS (A good thing in this case)! They make their own bread in-store and it is always just so good. You could eat it by itself and be happy, but then add in a ton of great tasting, FRESH ingredients?! Just...just so good. Honestly, if I never ate another sandwich from anywhere else in Salinas let alone Monterey County let alone EARTH possibly, I'm sure I'd be a happy dude. Keep on keepin' on, Bakery Station. I LOVE YOU! read more

I love this place! It's tiny, but the Sandwiches and baked goods are outstanding! I definitely recommend This place to anybody who wants a delicious sandwich read more

As a sandwich lover, very disappointed. Had the road hog. Supposed to be pulled pork(more like carnitas). It was very dry, as if it was microwaved, with no moisture or flavor. The bread was crumbly, thick, and dry. Yuck. I seriously couldnt even eat my food. I sadly had fast food instead, which was also crap, but still alot better than here. read more

This used to be friendly and the product was much Better ! Lot more choices now need to keep up with Competition more restaurants open read more

There's not much I can say that probably hasn't already been said, but I'm gonna anyway. Best sandwiches in Salinas. Fresh baked bread on site - who does that? Not subway. Awesome ingredients - the Bel Air is my favorite sandwich and city. The smooth Gouda and sourdough is making my stomach cry out for more. Friendly staff- don't know about you, but I like supporting the not so big wigs of the retail and food world. The owner is a hard worker who the other day said my customers come first and I don't want to disappointment them. Want to be available when they need me. Baker of the year award? I think so. If we run into each other there, come sit with me cause I'm there that often. Case closed. read more

Of you are looking to satisfy for hunger for delicious sandwiches and amazing cookies, look no further. I always get the VW (the veggie sandwich) but add some tuna salad. It's amazing. The staff are always friendly helpful and the sandwiches are a generous portion. I usually eat half and save half for later. read more

Thank you Bakery Station. Service was efficient but let's sandwiches!! Get a Mazerati if you want a fresh sandwich, pesto, Swiss cheese, tomato(I opted out), and added avocado!! Perfectly panini'd and super cheesy.! The sandwich was fresh tasting, and the quality you can simply taste. Some watermelon water for a hot day! I am satisfied, plus they got cookies the size of a small platter!! Corner of Gabilan and Monterey in what looks like an old "filling" station, we got lucky and parked right in front!! Keep it up guys!! read more

I came here by accident today because I neglected to make my lunch this morning. I decided to grab something really quick so I did a random Yelp search which led me to this place. I ordered the lunch special (1/2 a Bel Air sandwich with chips and a drink) with a chocolate chip/oatmeal/walnut cookie along with a protein bar (don't judge me! I was hungry;) The sandwich and cookie were delicious! I will definitely be visiting this place again in the near future. One suggestion--Get here early! The line wasn't so bad when I first arrived. However, once I placed my order, there were a gang of hungry folks waiting behind me. read more
