    It's hard to find a good sandwich spot with Dutch Crunch bread. It's been the best that I've had in OC so far. Their sandwich options are extensive or you can do a build your own. You can make your sandwich hot or cold. I like that the sandwiches are simple, fresh, and delicious. It's a great lunch and good to grab on the way to the beach. I would pass on the mac salad, it's on the sweeter side and just tastes like mayo. They only have Pepsi products for the fountain drinks. The store is cute and has a few tables. The prices are very fair and affordable. Parking wasn't that difficult for us, street parking was easy to find. ig: @cravingswithcat

    Order the #1 The Godfather.... And there's no salami

    Ordered The Godfather.... And there was no salami in my sandwich. I was looking forward to it

    I think I just had the best sandwich on the planet! Yummmmeeeeee! Can I just say I intended to order a salad but with so many sandwich choices I went with the #4 Turkey Day.... The San Francisco sourdough is to die for, it's soft SQUSHY not crunchy and it's much thinner than most rolls. Turkey cold cranberry sauce a liberal amount, mayonnaise , lettuce and red onions, it's the perfect combo! I cannot believe how delicious it was! Add a root beer and I'm in heaven! We also ordered the Maui and also super delicious! I'm will for sure be going back! The parking is horrible but I must have meant to be there as there was an open spot right in front! No mater what kind of sandwich you like you can get it here, I've never seen so many choices! A must have lunch here place! The guy helping us was uh very helpful to let me know I could add things or change breads!

    #28. Pesto Perfecto Sandwich

    A chill sandwich spot right by the beach! I ordered the pesto perfecto with a Dutch crunch. The sandwich was perfectly toasted and the cheese was melted. The pesto was flavorful. The bread and veggies added a nice crunch.

    The most delicious sandwiches! Fresh bread, generous portions, and so much flavor in every bite. Everything tasted fresh and well made. I highly recommend coming here if you're in the area and are craving a sandwich by the beach, definitely coming back again!!

    We ran into this sandwich shop while we were in CDM. The lady in the front was super sweet and welcoming. The menu is overwhelming with so many choices to choose from. The sandwiches we ordered were good, but it's something we can make at home. They do offer gluten free options, which is the reason we stopped in.

    #35 Spring Breakers on Dutch crunch bread

    We got the Godfather and the Springbreakers sandwiches on Dutch crunch bread and it was delicious! Bread was perfectly crispy, the sandwich had tons of flavor, tasted fresh, and they stuffed it. We also didn't have to wait too long to get our food.

    I prefer their Palm Spring's location. Fun fact: They switch up the names of the sandwiches depending what city you are in. So keep in mind the ingredients of the sandwich that you like haha In Palm Springs I would get the Federer, but at the Newport location it is called Big Daddy--Turkey, proscuitto, avocado, and swiss. Can't forget about that DUTCH CRUNCH bread ok?! That is what makes the sandwich extra tasty! NO RESTROOM. But there is a Starbucks next door, if they want to give you the code.

    Sandwhich was good. Big, nice crunch, good sauce. BUT, service/ wait time was bad though! 3 people working and I was the only one in there yet they were moving like sloths. Maybe the guy was stoned or something but I saw him make my sandwich then he realized he had it on the wrong bread so he had to move everything over. Then he forgot my secret sauce on side. I'm not sure if I'll come back tbh because it seems like they prioritize the online orders.

I really like the thinness of the pita bread and the spicy peppers made the whole sandwich. Great flavors. $12.50 for just a sandwich is a little high but comparable these days sadly. My friend enjoyed her Prosciutto sandwich as well. However as the matcha and smoothie, they said both were bland. They couldn't taste any flavors. So I'd probably skip on those, even though it's a juice place. SYOY!

Take an uncomfortably long time to get your order 5. Ignore cleaning the bathroom And if you're lucky to get the most miserable, cannot-do attitude of a short girl with dark short hair and a tattoo on her shoulder, like others have referenced in previous comments, well, good luck. She is dismissive, condescending, and has zero concept how to treat paying customers. Don't believe me? Please go see for yourself

    Great Maple absolutely lived up to the hype. We ordered the French toast and the spicy shrimp…read morepasta, and both were outstanding. The French toast was cooked perfectly. It wasn't overly sweet like a lot of brunch spots tend to do. The balance was just right, letting the flavors shine without feeling like dessert for breakfast. The blueberries, maple syrup, and cream brought everything together perfectly. The spicy shrimp pasta was equally impressive. It had a great kick to it, but the spice didn't overpower the dish. You could still taste all the flavors of the pasta, shrimp, and sauce. That's a rare thing because too many places mistake heat for flavor. Great Maple got it right. The restaurant was very busy, which is usually a good sign, but despite the crowd, the service never slipped. Our servers were attentive, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly. If I had one minor complaint, it's that the popularity means you should expect a wait during peak hours. But after eating here, it's easy to understand why it's packed. Excellent food, attentive service, and a brunch experience that's worth coming back for. Human beings may disagree on politics, sports, and whether pineapple belongs on pizza, but Great Maple serving great food feels like one of the easier things to agree on.

    My family and I had a reservation for my dad's birthday for brunch at 12pm. We were seated around…read more12:05~ which is perfectly fine as they needed a bit of additional time to set up our tables. The ambiance and design of this restaurant feels very home-y and welcoming. The entire place had full of life and is very clean. Our server today is Matt and he did an amazing job taking care of us. Very respectful and mindful and was happy to serve us which is a huge plus for me as customer service is also a defining factor for dining in my book. My family and I ordered a variety of dishes however I will be writing based on what I ordered personally / shared with and have eaten. Brew Bears - Cinnamon Toast (4/5): Our server Matt recommended this to me so I decided to order it to try it out. The drink comes in a small bear shape cup and had a soft and fluffy maple syrup + cinnamon foam. The drink is good and not too sweet which is a plus. Only downside is that the drink is fairly small and for $10, I would at least expect it to be in a larger size. Famous Maple Bacon Donuts (5/5): These were delicious! Very soft and fluffy; the maple glaze is sweet and gooey, and the bacon has a nice smoke to it which complimented the sweet maple notes. The donuts were clearly freshly made which we really appreciate. Be careful though as my family and I ordered 3 orders (3 pcs / order) and didn't realize how big each donut is! It is very filling and might make you too full for the other dishes if you normally don't eat a lot. Mac and Cheese (3.5/5): I ordered this alongside both the chili bacon bits and shrimp add-ons. The Mac and cheese came with spiral shaped pasta with a panko crust and white cheese. The overall taste to me is decent; nothing that really stood out to me but it was still good. The amount of shrimp provided vs the cost for the add-on (+$7) wasn't worth it for the small pieces and overall portion. I did also get some fettuccini pasta noodles towards the bottom of the dish which threw me off. Not sure if that's intended or by accident. Parmesan Truffle Fries (5/5): The fries we ordered came in hot and fresh with a side of ketchup. There was ALOT of flavor and you can really taste the truffle. The texture for the fries was nice and crispy to perfection. Overall, we did have a great experience and I do see myself coming back some time in the future. I would probably change up a few orders to try different things out.

Their rolls are quite pricey, at $9.75/piece or 2 rolls for $18. This was quite a price difference from what I have seen from their Chicago menu. You can also sample rolls as you browse their menu. I ordered the shrimp and prosciutto rolls. They offer peanut sauce, hot sauce, and I forgot the 3rd sauce. The staff was friendly and food came out within 10 minutes. Since it is within a food court, there are tables that accommodate parties of varying size in a well-lit area. The rolls were okay. I hate that they used paper as part of their packaging as the rolls stuck to them. I did not think the price was justified given exceptional rolls in O.C. at half the price.

You can truly taste the quality. I've brought so many friends here over the years, and now they're all just as addicted as I am! My friends and I play pickleball at TTC and The Newporter just down the street, and this has become our go-to spot to grab breakfast or lunch before we hit the courts.

Chef Carlos is amazing too. They both remember us every time we come in, which says so much about the level of hospitality they provide.
