    The Happy Belly Deli!
    Elise S.

    Sometimes I want to have a sandwich like the one's I make at home, but I don't want to buy everything to make it, or I'm on the go working. I don't really like the big sandwich chains all that much because the quality seems to be lacking. We found this place, saw the reviews, & decided to give it a shot! My husband got a turkey sandwich, and I had the Willy B.L.A.T. ( I thinkkkk that was the name) The Willy is so good ( hey! Mind outta the gutter!) Seriously though. Simple. Delicious. Fast.

    These sandwiches are soooo good. The Happy Italian is the BEST. Such a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere too. Tons of beverage options. The owners are a local family as well Can't wait to go back.

    A mom and pop shop that my husband and I are happy to support! There's outdoor seating and the customer service is awesome! I ordered the Sunny Disposition panini on sourdough and it was toasted to perfection, the pesto sauce really makes this sandwich. Would 100% recommend.

    Clean & neat front counter - menu board

    Fresh healthy sandwiches. Very friendly staff! Check out this new sandwich shop in Old town

    Stopped at Old Town's newest food stop and it did not disappoint! I love chicken salad so opted to try their special of the day....cilantro lime chicken salad in seed bread. So good!! Great mom and pop shop worth a visit. And a great and affordable kid menu too!! Open Monday-Saturday 11am-5:30p

    Great new deli in old town Temecula. Delicious fresh sandwiches with a twist. I'm so excited to have found this little family owned gem. They also make theirs own Homemade mustard and pickles

    Happy Belly Deli has a great menu!

    Excellent sandwiches, super friendly staff. Found this place while golfing in Temecula and loved everything about it. It was super clean, the sandwiches were huge and the owner Ronny is a great guy and made us feel at home which is great especially during these crazy times. I pay attention to how restaurants treat people and handle business and food preparation and Happy Belly Deli and their staff was outstanding! I highly recommend it.

    Decided to try this place because I read a good review on Temecula talk. This place didn't disappoint. A super friendly man greeted my husband and I at the door and took our order. We decided on the simple Sammy and the happy belly. Both our sandwiches were great! The tiny bean sample on the side was delicious as well. We will definitely be back.

    Loved the Triple trouble sandwich! Super fresh, family owned and super friendly!! They were able to get our meal out super quickly. The inside of the store is clean and well decorated! LOVED IT, stop in and try it out 5/5!!! Ate my food too fast to take a pic haha

    This 12-Inch Toasted Beast Just Executed My Sad Spinach & Nut Butter Smoothie Diet -- And I'm Not…read moreEven Pressing Charges Temecula, I rolled in a starving 6'4" disaster who's been choking down spinach-and-nut-butter smoothies like a hostage for weeks. Rockin' Jay's looked at my weak soul and said "bet" -- then saved it in the best way possible. Counter girl hit me with a smile so bright I almost reached for sunglasses. The entire all-female crew was straight beast-mode at the open sandwich bar, slinging subs like they were on a mission from the sandwich gods. Atmosphere? Spacious as hell, proper New York deli that moonlights as a 70s rock dive -- screaming reds and greens, green booths, wooden tables, tiled floors, the whole retro package you see in the pics. The playlist was gloriously all over the place in the best way -- Contemporary Christian one minute, 2019 pop bangers the next, basically spanning six decades of straight fire. "Listen to your heart" came on and I damn near did while they built my baby. Every single pick was gold though. I ordered the 12" Capicola & Provolone ($16.69). I yelled "the works -- no mustard, drown me in onions and olives." They dropped an absolute beast of a sandwich... and it came perfectly toasted straight out the gate the way it should be. No sad "can you toast this?" negotiation. Golden, crunchy bread that cracks like it owes you money. Meat stacked stupid high, provolone doing its melty thing, then they buried the whole thing under an avalanche of fresh, snapping shredded lettuce and threw in those glossy peppers on the side like a mic drop. This thing is ridiculously messy -- oil dripping, lettuce flying, pure delicious chaos in every bite. Pro tip: there's no napkin dispenser at the tables, so you gotta go full scavenger hunt by the self-serve soda machine to grab your own stack. Worth every greasy finger and napkin raid. It fed this giant for two meals and left me still full, slightly greasy, and weirdly emotional. My spinach smoothie PTSD? Cured. If your diet has been as depressing as mine, stop torturing yourself and drag your weak ass here immediately. Friendly as can be, killer vibe, and subs that actually deliver. Tell 'em the tall smoothie refugee sent you. I'm claiming a booth next week and bringing stretchy pants... and maybe my own napkin stash.

Johnny took our order and was so friendly! Really great customer service. It was really busy for lunch, we ordered two sandwiches to-go and waited probably 15-20 minutes at least. So don't come if you're in a hurry, but it's worth the wait if you can! Both of our sandwiches were excellent, I ordered the roast beef and it had tons of meat. The Italian dressing they have is delicious. My husband ordered the Mafia and said it was just great too. The 12in sandwiches are huge, definitely plenty to split or make two meals out of. We'll be back!

We stopped here on the way home from Pechanga while charging our Tesla and since it was in the same plaza, we figured we'd check it out. I assumed it was more of a franchise bakery than a standalone artisan spot, so I came in with pretty low expectations. I was just planning to grab a cinnamon roll, a loaf of their Cinnamon Burst Bread and a quick sandwich for the drive home. To my surprise, their house-made sandwiches are served on freshly baked bread, made with fresh ingredients, and cost under $10 (Panera could never!!!). Their baked goods were also reasonably priced with generous portions. We picked up the Cinnamon Burst Bread, a cinnamon roll, a honey bran muffin (which completely stole the show for me; it was incredibly moist and I'd come back just for that) and an almond poppy seed scone. The service here was just as impressive. Everyone was so friendly and personable and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed being there. I also loved their "Giving Rack," where anyone in need can take free baked goods. It's such a thoughtful idea and says a lot about the kind of business they are. This is easily one of my favorite bakery finds and it'll definitely be a regular stop whenever I'm back in the area.

We arrived with 15-20 folks. The air conditioned indoors was a welcoming environment! What I like is that you order at the counter so that the issue of splitting checks is not there. When we ordered you saw a sign that said this isn't fast food your food is made to order to warn us don't expect your food right away. I was slightly worried because we had a second game in 2 and a half hours but I knew it would be okay. We ordered and sat inside. The staff was kind enough to let us move tables around. Then I'd say within 10 minutes our food orders started coming out. The orders then continued to come out at a very steady pace! We were shocked. Then we were shocked at how DELICIOUS the food was. One by one like a chorus of glee, each person commented on how much they enjoyed their food. The menu was so vast that no one had the same order in the adults and each person loved their food. There was only one hiccup. One of the parents order a canned drink but didn't notice that it was alcoholic. This was in no way the fault of the restaurant as it was obviously beer. The parent didn't complain he just opened it and left it. The waitress who was bussing our area asked him was something wrong if he didn't like it and the dad said, I didn't realize it was alcohol. The waitress walks over with the POS machine asked him is order number found the drink and refunded it to the dads card. She did this completely unprompted and strictly because she felt it was the right thing to do. THAT is how you provide excellent service! Thank you The Local Provisions for your gracious hospitality! We will be back!

Even the presentation looked like it spawned from a hospital cafeteria. Tbh, it looked liked mashed potatoes with a side of broccoli. The only ok thing was the tortilla. You cant mess that up. Its probably bought. I want to try other foods here next time. Maybe that will do it more justice. Maybe fries or something? Something safe and not hard to mess up. I think my review is scathing, but its HONEST.

There's a wall of jarred sauces, pickled vegetables, canned tomatoes, giardiniera, and more. There is seating inside the restaurant as well as outside. My favorite and go-to sandwich is the PLT. If you're a BLT fan you'll love this sandwich. It's an Italian take on the popular BLT; the PLT comes with sliced pancetta, sun-dried tomato pesto, lettuce, and tomatoes on a ciabatta roll and pressed in a panini press. Served with pepperoncinis on the side. While this sandwich is delicious, keep in mind as it takes a little longer to make in the panini press but it is worth it every time! If you're looking for an Italian Deli or a lunch date spot, Campini's is your place to go! Visit once, try something new and you won't regret it.

The Coast is my favorite breakfast sandwich - ask for extra garlic aioli because it's that good. You can always request for a different egg temp, but their runny over easy egg is perfect here. Their coconut morning bun is amazing! That's probably our favorite croissant pastry there and you can't go wrong with their classic cinnamon roll either. My husband loves their peach cobbler cinnamon roll too (seasonal item). Minus a star because I've ordered their matcha here a few times just because maybe I didn't order the right matcha with the correct syrup - I don't know, but I've ordered their classic matcha latte and their seasonal mango matcha latte, and both times were disappointing. You can tell by the color of the matcha. It's a slightly grayish hint of green. In photos it looks like a dark vibrant green, but not in person. The mango matcha was slightly better, but not enough mango in my opinion - that could just be my personal reference. Everytime we come the service is always friendly. Everyone here is really nice and helpful if you don't know what to order. It's a cute little bakery with a bar top seating and a couple of tables tucked away inside, or you can hang out in the patio. Come early or later in the day if you want to snag a seat! We love Goat and Vine so we're glad Little Goat is here!
