    Great beverage, snack and hot sauce selection
    Stacy T.

    I ordered the large breakfast burrito called The Barrel and the portion is generous. It is definitely two meals for me. The bacon was really good, the potatoes were soft, and the avocado was ripe. Everything was cooked well and did not feel greasy. The staff was friendly and welcoming. They also have a great variety of food options and a solid hot sauce selection for purchase, including Manuel's salsa and The Pepper Plant. I was also happy to find a large Mexican Coca Cola there, which made my Australian boyfriend who is obsessed with them very happy.

    Decided to try this place out for the first time after a hike. Definitely do not regret that decision! The deli is located inside of a market. They have a lot of sandwich options, as well as other food. You can also make your own sandwich. I tried their Palm BLT and added turkey and provolone cheese to it. It was delicious! We also tried their Italian job which was also amazing! We got two half sandwiches for I believe $6.99 each. Such a good deal. There is seating both, indoors and outdoors, which is perfect! There is a good amount of parking as well. So many delicious options, can't wait to go back!

    Stopped by The Palm deli recently and had a great experience. The food was exactly what you'd hope for from a local deli What really stood out, though, was the service. Cashier Barbara was incredibly nice -- welcoming, patient, and just had a great attitude overall. It made the whole visit feel more personal and enjoyable. You can tell they care about their customers. Definitely planning to come back. Places like this remind you why supporting local spots is worth it!

    The breakfast burritos are what you want to get here. $10 in Apr '23 gets you a good size burrito and even includes avocado. Sandwiches are decent here but the value is less. You can choose off the menu or make your own burrito or sandwich. There is seating inside and out. It also has a small selection of wines and beer with some snacks as well. They also have a ready made section too. What's nice is it seems they incorporate local produce as well. The eggs are from Glaum which is great.

    WOW. I can't believe I live so close to this treasure and it took me this long to try Palm Deli. I guess it's true what they say: good things come to those who wait! My expectations were low. I figured this is just a cafe with sandwiches and pasta but it is so much more than that. Like, damn this place has some good good sandwiches. Ericka's favorite was fantastic. It is a flat bread panini sandwich with turkey, pesto mayo, havarti, spinach, tomato, onion, and pepperoncinis! Very tasty! I kept thinking about it for hours after eating it. Would get again! We also got prime time at the Palm which has roast beef, cheddar, and sauteed sweet onions. Totes forgot to ask for horseradish sauce but we had some at home so it's all good. There is plenty of outdoor seating, vegetarian and gluten free options, ready made foods, and a ton of shelbes with snacks. Fyi they do not sell fries. I stood at the wrong area for probably 5 minutes or more before realizing that the area to pay is by the front door. There was nobody behind the counter or anyone waiting so I didn't think anything of it/ended up in the back of a long line. I was confused bc some ppl were getting their food and drinks from the display counter so I figured I'd pay after getting my food? Anyway, super cute little plaza with cottage style buildings and great food at Palm Deli! Will be returning!

    Since the change of ownership the quality of food and customer service have gone down hill significantly with an increase in price. Simply put, it's just not good. I would recommend you go someplace (any place) else, like The Farm. I grew up coming here every day after school, but everything that made this place special is now gone. Don't waste your time.

    Driving home from Manresa, we decided to grab lunch at this deli since it was nearby. Wasn't expecting much. Nothing on the menu was jumping out at me, so we settled for the following after asking the cashier for his recs: Grilled cheese: 4/5 oooey gooey thick melted cheese! Sooo good! Kids gobbled this down. Tri tip special: 5/5 wow packed with so much flavor! This was delicious! Ericka's favorite: 5/5 Ericka sure knows what a good sandwich tastes like. This sandwich looks semi healthy but totally hit the spot. So happy we found this deli. Will definitely be stopping by again when we are in the area. It's right off the fwy. There is a super cool tank right near the entrance door with pretty fish. We got our food and ate outside on the tables near the parking lot.

    Stopped in today to check the place out since I usually DoorDash my Açaí Bowls. They have SO MANY SANDWICH OPTIONS and i could tell by the amount of customers they had, this is a really popular deli! They seemed a little short staffed but I totally get it because just like them, most businesses are experiencing the same. The young crew they had working were great: very professional, attentive and on it. It took a while to get my order but was definitely worth the wait and the guys let me know it would be a little while. They were working their butts off back there!! If you haven't tried their açaí bowl, you should. They're fresh and filling with generous ingredients! The avo toast is a great choice too!

    Eggs burnt Coffee creamer spoiled  Bacon raw... all fat  Great Breakfast, long time customer  Bye bye

    Used to be my go too Breakfast place until new ownership took over, now cheapest ingredients and inexperienced cooks. Bacon was 100% fat ! Called to talk with owner about my terrible breakfast experience (of course he wasn't in), politely asked him to call me back (zero response) after three days. My new favorite view of Palm Deli is now in my rear view mirror

    The sandwiches use low quality ingredients, bland flavors and small portions. They are usually out of products and there is always a wait.

    I used to come here all the time years ago and it has changed quite a bit. Definitely a tourist…read moretrap and lacking personality/quality. I got a Southwest chicken sandwich, tasted pretty good but was literally just rotisserie chicken mixed with chipotle mayo with cabbage on a French roll. Would have been good for $14 maybe but cost me $18 and a soda cost $4.50 :( it was nice to go back today and remember the old days but I probably won't return :,(

    We came for breakfast since we were staying nearby. The service was friendly and the food came out…read morequickly. You fill out a form with your preferred ingredients for breakfast. That process got a little hectic with some of the other customers. The ambiance is exactly what you would expect from an Oceanside deli, counter to order with some packaged items/drinks around the rest of the waiting area. They also have a decent size outdoor patio for seating. There are lots of options between different sandwiches, burritos, pastries and even whole rotisserie chickens. (Also French toast which my daughter liked) The food was good. The burritos were hot and had lots of filling. I could have used a bit more chorizo in mine, but it was still tasty. We will definitely be back if we're in the area. It's nice to pickup and take to the beach that's only about 50 feet from the restaurant.

They have a good range of…read moreoptions and unlike a lot of sandwich places, there isn't a taste of sameness across all sandwiches, most likely because they don't use the same signature house sauce across all sandwiches. I think you can make the wrong choice on your 1st/2nd/3rd visit depending on your taste, but I also think you should come back and you'll absolutely find something that 100% tickles your pickle. I've tried most of their hot sandwiches: - Noni's Pesto Chicken: this is one of my favorite sandwiches of all time. It's not very complex but for some reason the combination of flavors just is *chefs kiss*. 5* for this alone, don't fight me - Surf City Philly: can be surprisingly spicy, heavy but SO good. This is my third favorite. - Chicken Cowabunga: not that great, would skip, but I also have a whole website on fried chicken sandwich rankings so I'm picky - Vulcan Mind Melt: sounds so good on paper but it's just heavy. I would skip - Crispy Cod Wrap: I've had a bite or two of this and I thought it was pretty good but not that memorable - Pork Belly Banh Mi: this was good, and I don't usually like pork belly - Chipotle Chicken Club: also kinda heavy but I really enjoyed this! This is my second favorite. - Cubano: not particularly memorable Not a sandwich but Beer Barnacles: ugh I enjoyed this more often than I should have, sorry not sorry. 5*

    Ordered on line. Food was ready on time. Customer Service was great…read more BLAT, Cubano and garlic fries were tasty Took food to go, but lots of area to sit outside
