This is one of my absolute favorite places in SLO. Gift baskets and bags stuffed with everything that's made here in our central coast paradise. So excited to see how many talented people there are doing what they love here in the SLO county. Gretchen and her crew do an amazing job putting them all together. This is the best place to send or receive one of the best gifts you could imagine. Theres something for everyone! Bath and body goodies that smell amazing. Local wines and beers, snacks, chocolates, nuts, popcorn, coffee, jams, candies and more. Pozo toffee is outstanding. I'm addicted! Love you guys!!!!! read more

I love shopping here and using their online ordering system, great way to send local goodies to out of state friends and family. The products are high quality, and the customer service is THE BEST!! If you require any assistance with online ordering they are quick to respond to your request by either phone call or email, always polite and respectful. I asked for a last minute gift to be sent out of state and they got it there on time! read more

Love shopping here. Great place for local gifts. Gretchen does an incredible job putting gift baskets together. read more

The Crushed Grape - a basket of wine and snacks - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

This was a cute little place tucked in between Bed Bath & Beyond and Staples. I liked seeing all the knick knacks and flyers around the store. A few places to sit around inside, but there are more tables outside if you don't want to feel cramped in. Rocky's Grinder was really good. Huge sandwich with fresh tasting ingredients. I loved it! It came with a tortellini salad, a deli pickle and a piece of taffy candy. I didn't really care for the tortellini salad because it was just plain bland. I also got the Wine Ice Cream because it sounded interesting. It was good, but wasn't anything fancy or special. Tasted like vanilla ice cream with bits of chocolate squares and raspberry. Will definitely swing by this place again for a sandwich if I'm in the area! :D read more

The Crushed Grape - Rocky's Grinder! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Crushed Grape is the best deli in a town full of sandwich shops. They have an extensive menu of sandwiches, soups salads and even gourmet hot dogs! Their macaroni salad is so incredible and the dill just sends it over the top of greatness! I usually have the turkey sandwich with the works and a small macaroni salad. Today I tried the Farmer Market Salad and it was INCREDIBLE and packed full of fresh, delicious vegetables. The cold meal deal is my go to lunch when I provide lunch for business meetings and it's always a hit! In addition to the fresh and yummy food they make the best gift baskets money can buy. Very personal and the options are endless. The location is cute, cozy and a bit tucked away. I highly recommend anything and everything from here! read more

The Crushed Grape - Amazingly fresh ingredients!! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

I wish I could give them 10 stars!!! They are the best! I had to delay picking up an order and they worked with me and were so kind! Yeah, even during the holiday rush, they took the time to make sure everything was right and perfect!! Their gift baskets are exquisite and make a lasting impression. I have a serious "crush" on The Crushed Grape. read more

Our car club hosted their big, annual car show at the Embassy Suites over the weekend and Saturday we were looking for lunch. A friend suggested the "Deli just around the corner". So the five of us walked over. Among the extensive menu, they had a sandwich "special" named to match the theme of this years car show, very cool! The warm pastrami sandwich had cheese and cole slaw on it and came with a dill pickle spear and their macaroni salad. The mac salad had a fair amount of dill in it, which I liked! The sandwich was very good, especially for the price! I would definitely go back there again when I'm in the area! read more

Yesterday I had a hot turkey sandwich of some kind (I can't remember the name) but, OMG, it was amazing. Moist, flavorful and they even went out of their way to add cranberry sauce to it when I asked. Very quaint and charming. Very friendly. I love this place. read more

Was treated very poorly while choosing a gift, turns out the person behind the counter who was so rude was the owner. Not a good way to conduct yourself in front of customers. Their wine products are sometimes unique but overpriced. Once sent a sandwich back when she handled cash then went to make the sandwich without washing her hands. When I explained why I wanted another the employee and the owner got all huffy and mumbled to one another while they hastily slapped together another one, not apologizing for their behavior. I'm not returning again, this kind of catty behavior has reared it's ugly head multiple times and it's just not worth it. read more

Small shop with great food- the deli manager really knows what she's doing. There is always an assortment of great pasta salads and the sandwiches are the best. Plus, while you're waiting you can check out the shop full of cute knick-knacks. They also get points for having a booth at the mid-state fair in July and August (hence the closing early sometimes during those weeks). read more

Top Notch Sandwiches and Gourmet treats! Crushed Club is delicious! You will not be disappointed! A+ service A+ food read more

Aw man. I was really hoping this place would be open on my last visit to SLO, so I could feel like a kid again as I took my brown baggie outside to enjoy my yummy egg salad sandwich, pickle, and macaroni salad in the beautiful sunshine. And I was fairly certain they would be open, considering I called in and their message said "Open every day from whenever to whenever." And when I pulled up, the sandwich board was even standing up outside! But alas, they were closed for the day to take their employees to the Mid-State Fair. Which is cool and all, but minus half a star for not informing me of such sadness on their message. Minus another half a star for being pretty expensive, although the cuteness of the bagged lunch and all the little extras they give you (like the pickle and saltwater taffy) do sort of make up for that. One of the places I really miss from the college days. A nice summery place to eat. read more

The Crushed Grape is a class act. I ordered a local spice mix (SLO MIXX -yum!) but when the order arrived, it was less than the order amount. When I called, I was treated with real respect (kinda hard to find these days), and not only did they ship out the missing product the very same day, they included a little something 'extra'. AND!, they included a "We're Sorry" note. Truly classy!!We live a couple hours away, but I guarantee next time we're in the area, we'll be stopping in. Thank you very much, Crushed Grape!! read more

Definitely one of my favorite deli's in SLO. We always come here when I visit and I almost always get the Hot Pastrami. It really stands out the most compared to the other sandwiches I've had. My only gripe is that I wish the sandwiches were bigger! I also tried their grape drink once. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be (and I'm a huge fan of grape drinks/sodas). It was kind of watery (if i remember correctly but I had it a while ago). But seriously though. That hot pastrami sandwich is bomb. read more

This is such a hidden hole in the wall type deli. I tried their Hot Turkey Melt and their Tuscany Turkey Melt, and they were both delicious! I love that they give you a small side of macaroni salad, a pickle, and a piece of candy. I think it's a cute touch! Give it a try, you won't regret it! read more

The Crushed Grape - Tuscany Turkey Melt - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Hands down, best deli in SLO. It's a little hidden. Chicken salad and pastrami are personal favorites. Delicious chocolate chip cookies as smoothies as well. read more

Didn't find what I was looking for..... Random things all over the place. I'd say it was a "cute little shop" but it's really not.... It's in an awesome shopping center but really not that interesting...... read more

Amazing reasonably priced personalized gift baskets and same day delivery. This business is a gem!

I just had the best experience ever with The Crushed Grape. They put together a gift basket for my son's birthday. It was fun, hip and runneth over with goodies!! My experience started this morning with a call...Tiffany answered and was pleasant and helpful. Gretchen called me back and we chatted about different options. The designer, Selena, created an awesome basket and the couriers delivered on time. Couldn't ask for better service! Big thanks to Crushed Grape! 10 stars for sure!! read more

A great local shop! I don't go to this shopping center often, but this is a great small eatery to visit. They have fun trinkets too - wine and food related. Sandwiches are good (mmm, making me hungry). Friendly service and a few spots to sit and eat. Escape the big box stores for a snack and stop here! read more

The Crushed Grape is my go-to for gifts with a Central Coast and SLOcally made focus. In fact, I just finished up ordering all my holiday gifts for clients and friends (for the third year in a row). Gretchen and her team at Crushed Grape do an incredible job creating gift baskets featuring SLO- and locally made food, wine, and gifts. They have many to choose from, with a variety of themes and price points. Wine can be added or omitted, depending on your recipients' preferences. You can also create your own custom gift basket, either by changing up the contents of a basket they offer, or creating a fully custom one by hand-selecting from the huge variety of products in the shop. They carry local products like Cal Poly cheese, Paso Almonds (aka crack :) ), several local beef jerkys, Linns preserves, local coffee, and so much more. Tons of great local wines, and fun gift items. You can just swing in and get a bottle of wine and a cute gift bag on the way to a party, find little treats for a kids birthday party, and unexpected gifts with a local flavor. Great great place to shop, and they take care of the shipping for probably less than you could ship it yourself. Stop by Crushed Grape next time you need a gift. I bet you'll find just the thing. read more

The prices of the sandwiches make me sulk until my order is ready to be devoured, which it is. Such a cute place though-- they'd get so much more business if it weren't for their strange location, but it could also be a blessing, being small, there's not much room for a crowd. Service is always with a smile, and the inside feels very homey. An overall feel-good experience. They should advertise more!!! I want to see this place booming and more people raving about it on yelp! read more

This place is tucked away in a shopping center and the premise behind Crushed Grape is clever. Along with wine themed gifts and novelty items, they also have an extensive menu that includes salads, soups, sandwiches, hot dogs and deli items. I had the SLO dog which was another version of a Chicago Dog. It was pretty tasty but not cheap. The service is mellow and by that I mean slow. There is plenty of outside seating and on a gorgeous day it was nice and relaxing. read more

I've had better sandwiches. It was the turkey/swiss cheese with avocado sandwich, Thursday's special, and was really let down because they forgot to put the avocado in it. Because I took it to go, I didn't realize this until I brought the sandwich back home. Utter disappointment that they forgot such a key ingredient for their day's special. The small cup of cheddar broccoli soup was excellent, though. I also got an Island Fever, which is a mango/pineapple/banana smoothie. Not that great, way too much banana and not enough mango/pineapple. There's a point in a smoothie that has banana where it acquires a medicine-like taste, and this smoothie skated the line. Bottom line: Mediocre sandwiches and smoothies, good soup. I'll give this place another chance one day, but if you don't want your order to be messed up or your drink taste like medicine, there's bound to be plenty of other places to eat. read more

I ordered the "Spectacular" gift basket on December 21st for a friend on the east coast. I was charged over $200 including shipping and was informed the basket may not make it by Christmas. It has yet to arrive. Upon inquiry I was provided a tracking number by the Crushed Grape staff. I discovered by myself that the basket was not prepared or shipped out until December 26th. I am so disappointed in the service I cannot in good conscience offer return business or refer to anyone else, hence the reason for the review, to warn others who order with expectations of delivery in a timely fashion. read more

PASTRAMI SANDWICH... I love you. This place is definitely one of my favorite places to eat in SLO. Hidden in between Staples and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Sandwiches are little more expensive than normal but in my honest opinion worth it. I've only gotten pastrami sandwiches, it's too good to venture elsewhere. But I hear their Tuscan Turkey is good and their hot dogs aren't bad either. Most if not all the sandwiches come with a tiny portion of salad. The macaroni is my favorite. read more

Outstanding and helpful service. Went in to purchase a gift pack on June 25 and picked up the next day to be mailed. Great attitude! Will definitely go back to this shop! Wish I caught the gal's name. She's a gem! read more

Great customer service! I ordered a basket for my daughter's 21st birthday, and not only was the basket perfect, but they went out of their way to help get it to her on her actual birthday. So grateful! read more

I simply love Gretchen and her team! They have the most exquisite gift baskets, I especially enjoy giving friends and clients the "SLO" baskets with all locally made products. Of course their little deli is always a hit with the tasty recipes for lunch and their generous meal portions. I've sent out their gift baskets online for great client gifts that we have shipped across the U.S. and our clients were thrilled! read more

i used to go here all the time i work right next door i would get the pasta salad sometimes a salad or soup and a sandwich until i had two really bad visits in a row. For some reason they always run out of tomatoes which is hard to understand being in the sandwich business but i go on, so the first time i went in and my sandwich was wrong (other then the missing tomato which i was not told about until i returned) the second time i had rotten lettuce in my salad and a dime sized slug. needless to say i have not returned in all fairness its been about 3 months so maybe they cleaned up their act. and when i went to show the girl at the counter my slug salad she was very nice and honestly felt bad. so pretty good service and good tasting food but poor execution and sanitation read more

One of my favorite sandwich shops in town... although there are so many! I'm writing this review for their food. When I go, I always get the Crushed Club, an amazing sandwich. They have Around 50 choices of food on their menu, great mac salad and tortellini salad, and I always find a taffy at the bottom of my sandwich bag. While you wait for your order, you can find some cute wine nicknacks in the shop. I really want to try their wine ice cream one of these times. read more

i ordered the french dip the last time i came. there was plenty of meat, but it wasn't as moist as i would have liked it. and the au jus wasn't that flavourful. it was still good, but it could use improvements read more

Crushed Grape is now known as Breezeway Deli and is at the same location but with new owners! They have made many improvements at the location! Sandwiches are still great but they have self serve drinks, customer bathroom and have made the patio bigger and added more seating inside and out! Try it! You'll like it! read more

i love this deli!!!!! the clam chowder on fridays is amazing i would rate it up there if not better than splash. I work right across the street and go here as often as i can afford it. the staff is super friendly and the food is great. I would defiantly recommend it to anyone. read more

Came here again and got the Chicken Curry Salad sandwich!!!!! YUMMY!!!!! I love making my own Chicken Curry salad and I have to say that mine is pretty good, but this is just as awesome!!! and I got a smoothie. Um hi? This smoothie blew Jamba Juice away! read more

The Crushed Grape is a little hidden deli in the Madonna shopping center next to Bed, Bath & Beyond. They have a wide variety of sandwiches to choose from, both hot and cold. I generally get their hot pastrami which comes with a dill pickle and a little cup of macaroni salad. It is very tasty. The sandwiches aren't huge like at other places, but just right. A tad pricey. read more

Quick service - friendly staff - decently priced - great reputation - great gift shop. On this particular visit I had the Tuscan Turkey Melt sandwich, which was pretty good...could have used a bit more flavor (sauce)? But I loved the tortellini salad on the side. I'll definitely be trying out more things here! read more

the best best best hot dogs around. omigod i actually crave the slo dog! and the samiches are fabulous!!!!! mmmmm..... read more

Cute deli and wine gift shop tucked behind the Madonna Plaza shopping center near the Embassy Suites with plenty of parking just off El Mercado. Menu is extensive. They take your order on a brown bag (why waste paper, right?) and you can peruse the fun gifts while you wait for your sandwich to be made. I've ordered the California Veggie twice. It came on fresh whole wheat with carrots, cucs, avocado, tomatoes, sprouts, gourmet greens, cheddar and Swiss & mustard. It wasn't like other sandwich places that make a sandwich that was meant for deli meat and when you eat it, you think "is there something missing?" It came with a pickle slice & freshly made macaroni salad with a touch of dill. To my surprise, at the bottom of the bag was a little chocolate mint stick candy - bonus! read more

Great gift shop!!! Wonderful local foods and gifts. They also make wonderful baskets for gift giving.
