Awesome service first of all, I manage Fix Auto Palm Desert and we placed an order for the team. I didn't realize that I didn't have my wallet when I got to The Brown Bag, I'm bad with names but the young woman that helped me Let me take the sandwiches and worry about paying later for them She said "she didn't want us to eat cold sandwiches," I really appreciate her for that Definitely paid the tab and also will definitely be back for more delicious sandwiches and great customer service This day I tried the French Dip, but I highly recommend the Sherrie, Dank! read more

The Brown Bag - Turkey-Bacon-Avocado (lettuceTomato) - Delis Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Surprisingly affordable and tasty! So glad I found this and drove over the bridge to get here.

Man are the sandwiches good!! It was my first time eating here and I stopped by when I was getting to the area. It was so good that 4 days later as I was leaving I just had to stop by and get me a to go sandwich. If you are passing by or even in the area I do recommend it! read more

This is a great deli stop in the middle of industrial area. I had the turkey, bacon and avocado spinach wrap and it was great. Also, easy to eat while driving down I10. Egg salad, Cobb salad, and chopped salad were the other orders in our group. Everyone was happy with their orders. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area. read more

I wish I found this place sooner. It's a little hidden gem located on the other side of the freeway. Staff is very kind from the moment you walk through the door to the moment you pick up your order. I specifically like the food here because it is well portioned and healthy. Even though I get bacon with my sandwich, I don't get it dripping with grease. That's a plus! I recommend the Ham Turkey sandwich with sprouts. I also recommend that you get that with their homemade Potato salad. read more

Fantastic sandwiches and salads. We saw this place on the reviews on Yelp and decided to give it a try. We had a tuna melt and a salad. This was a shared meal with my sister and it was perfect! Fresh ingredients and made with love. Homemade dressing on the salad too! In an unusual area with big businesses in the area. Worth stopping and give it a try! read more

Fantastic place! I had the roast beef and potato salad and it was all wonderful. Fair prices, fresh, delicious food and excellent, friendly service. What more could you ask for? read more

If you are looking for recommendations you have to try the West Coast with jalapeño kettle chips! And they have fresh iced tea so you can make an amazing Arnold Palmer with the lemonade in the fountain machine. Great service by The ladies as well read more

The Vegetarian sandwich on squaw bread was the best, and so too is the price. Check it out. I'll bet you'll think the same...

Drive past all the other sandwhich places. This hidden gem has great food, amazing service, and a wonderful ambiance. While I was eating - four regulars walked in and the owner knew each of them by name. In a culture of selfishness - it's so nice to see true care for people. Highly recommend this place! I'll be back. read more

Best sandwiches in the valley. Wonderful staff and great atmosphere. If you haven't been here, you should come here soon.

Found this place after the Lunch Spot was closed today. We had the Carve special sandwich, chips, sodas, and pasta salad. All were fabulous! The sandwich was incredible!!! The staff is super friendly as well! A definite go to spot if you're on the north side of town! read more

Read some of the reviews, and decided to bring my wife for lunch. She had the the "Chicken Pesto", while I had the "West Coast". Customer service was great and the food was wonderful. Not over the top, but just right. Meats and bread were fresh and delicious. Definitely will be back, to try the "Spicy Italian"... worth the stop if your looking for a great lunch for a fair price. read more

The Brown Bag - Hot pastrami sandwich on rye - Delis Near Me - Palm Desert, California

This was a nice find off the north side of I-10 in Palm Desert. They can make a big variety of sandwiches and are very flexible with the bread, meat and cheese options. It's not fancy, but everything is freshly made, including the very good potato salad. The deviled eggs were excellent. If you need extra salt or pepper, ask because the eggs are not heavily seasoned as they are made. The selection of salty crispy snacks is good, but not huge. There are also bottled drinks and iced tea. What they may lack in terms of options, is made up for in the very nice service and fresh ingredients used. They people here are friendly, welcoming and happy to suggest options for your sandwich if asked. read more

Stopped while driving though on our way to Ventura and what a find! Right off the freeway and A+ food. Their chicken salad and deviled eggs are a must! Even my picky kids said it was amazing! read more

Sandwiches are always sooo good and nicely made! Nice ladies that work there too(cool family owned) my fav is the Brando yum!!!

Barbara and her team were great! They were so sweet and even gave our little guy some cookies for our trip home. He loved them! Sandwiches were great and definitely recommend them for your stop along the highway if you're in the mood for a yummy sandwich. Thanks again! read more

The sandwiches are ok, it's a nice sandwich that is not special. Reading reviews, it seems like a personal place/cozy, but the inside is bare and doesn't look like photos. I ordered the veggie, gave my name, and sat down to wait. a family came in and ordered three sandwiches. One of the ladies kept yelling over asking if their food was for here or to go even though they said here three times. The family got their food within 10 mins so I went to ask about my food. They forgot about my sandwich off to the side and the older lady was really nice about it but the younger girl just gave me a blank face and handed me my food :(. I waited probably 15 minutes for a veggie sandwich. The two ladies who helped me seemed like they were in a rush to get me in and out even thought it was 1:30 on a Wednesday afternoon. maybe i caught them in a bad time but i probably wouldn't go back, there's better places! also out of bread read more

The Brown Bag - Delis Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Barbara and Star are absolutely phenomenal. This wonderful place is a diamond in the rough. We love this place not just for the quality of food and taste, but also the Family feel it has. A true local spot that's easy to miss, however it is one that shouldn't be missed. They remember your order even if it's been 4 months since you came in last, and you as person. The combination of both makes this a place we look forward to coming back to each time. Also, sandwiches are absolutely delicious. Thank you Barbara and star. I am leaving with a full heart and happy belly. read more

Our team ordered a monstrous takeout order today, and The Brown Bag delivered on all fronts. Ordering online was a breeze, and everything was perfect. Personal highlights were the Italian salad and BLTac. I had a chicken Caesar salad that was great. As someone proudly from the east coast, I often struggle to find a similar deli experience on the west coast. The Brown Bag has everything you're looking for - customizable favorites, specialty sandwiches, cheap prices, and spectacular service. Down to the last minute detail. I was very happy to see that you can get any bread you like with the sandwich you choose. This family-run business is what keeps local restaurants alive. read more

AMAZING! The most welcoming and nice staff, it's clear this is a family business and loved by regulars. They knew everyone who came in and had meaningful conversation. The sandwich was perfect, toasted to perfection. So glad we tried out this spot read more

The Brown Bag - Chicken Pesto Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Friendly service, good sandwiches, clean, and fast. What more can you ask? Eat here regularly and have never been dissatisfied

Great sandwich choices, really personable staff. Fresh and tasty sandwich, glad we made the stop.

Fantastic sandwiches, friendly service. They even remembered us and our order when we came back the following day for round 2 of delicious, satisfying sandwiches! read more

I don't typically give 5 stars. 1) the people behind the counter, are amazing. They make a stranger like me feel just as important as all of their regulars, that they apparently know by name. 2) I've wandered into this establishment twice. Once on accident and the second time to see if they could re-create the same magic, they did the first time. I am writing this four-star review to tell you in fact they did. I have a new favorite sandwich. It's whatever these sandwich craftsman suggest. They use great ingredients, fresh bread, hearty portions and the great atmosphere. If you're driving down the 10... And you're looking for a good lunch, this is the place. read more

Food, service and location are all A++. Stopped in on the way to camping in Joshua Tree and made a point to come back for lunch on our drive home. Loved the Brando Sando and the Italian! read more

These are exciting times for Brown Bag. Diana has decided to sell and start traveling the world. Daniel & Brandon are the new stewards of the Shop! As I understand it, all our favorite sandwiches and offerings will remain on menu. There might be some small changes here and there with the aesthetic but that is to be expected during a shift like the one this venue is going thru. Love the baked goods and that Italian combo is terrific. I'll be coming in more often during Season. read more

Great find on our way to Joshua Tree. Great, friendly service and excellent choice of sandwiches. I opted for the West Coast and would definitely recommend. The meat, toppings, and bread were all perfectly balanced and prepped fresh. WELL worth the venture away from the freeway. read more

It was my first time here today and the people worked there were welcoming, friendly and had smiles on their faces. One was even singing to the background music. Nowadays, you don't see many people working and seem to be enjoying what they're doing. The 3 ladies that worked here resemble that! I ordered trio salad and west coast sandwich to go and enjoyed every bite. To the brown bag crew, thank you for our delicious lunch today. read more
