My first time here! Visiting from LA, I was so impressed with the service and vibe. So welcoming and adorably decorated! The sandwiches are better than any chain I've had, I cannot wait to try more next time I'm in town!

Literally tastes like cafeteria food. My sandwich that had no onions had an overpowering taste of onions. The bacon was burnt to a crumble not to mention paying 9$ for a mini frozen pizza??? Sandwich was wrapped up so hard it's all smashed. I was so excited to come here. Biggest waste of almost 30$.

Pesto Chicken sandwich was fire and decent size for price, cool little sandwich place

This is the few spots that were recommended at a nearby hotel I stayed at in Desert Hot Springs. Place was pretty retro with Pac-Man and a few pinball machines. In terms of the food I tried out two subs. Chicken Salad Sub - Was a bit on the salty side but overall it was pretty good. Tons of mayo. (3.5/5) Italian Sub - Got it toasted and flavors were on point. A simple but good sub. (4/5) Mac Salad - I really enjoyed the Mac salad. It had a lot of mayo but the peas really gave it a nice texture. (4.5/5) This spot is pretty solid for subs, especially since there aren't too much good places to eat in Desert Hot Springs. Paying with cash gives you a small discount since paying with card is like a 4% transaction fee. Overall I enjoyed this place for a quick lunch. Parking - They have their own small lot for like 5 cars.

16. Chipotle Chicken with jalapeño cheddar bread!

Wow, awesome spot! The people are super kind and greet you with a smile. We ordered the chipotle chicken sub & turkey bacon cheddar avocado sub with a side of ranch Mac salad! Everything was delicious. Oh, & I can't forget the homemade warm bread, we chose jalapeño cheddar bread.

Food was absolute fire! Would recommend this place to anyone! Such a cute little place as well.

Awesome sandwich shop and a good price! Order by number such as a Full #18. We got a #12 pesto chicken, a #14 bacon lettuce tomato and avocado (BLTA), and a #18 turkey mushroom and Swiss on sourdough. All our sandwiches were full-size, tasty, and filling. There is a small cash discount. Liked the retro décor with the 80s arcade machines and vinyl singles! The restroom doorknob may come off in your hand.

LOVED THIS PLACE!!! Great spot in DHS. Really needed a good sandwitch place in town. This place is so cute and quaint and has great food. At first I was a little disappointed on the size of the ranch mac, but then when I tried it it was pretty rich so I don't think I could have eaten more than they gave me! The jalapeño cheddar sub bread is soooo good and the chicken Chipotle sub was bomb. Overall a really good spot and I actually heard someone say that the vegetarian salad was the best salad they had ever had. Need to try it next time. Nice staff, good vibes, GREAT food!!

We got a chipotle chicken sandwich, and then the turkey bacon avocado sandwich. Both were super yummy.

First of all, this place is so cute inside! It has vintage video games and a pinball machine. It definitely felt a little bit like a throwback. I love that. On top of it, the girls that work here were very nice and made us some delicious sandwiches! Everything was really good here and I will definitely be back.

Ms S.

Really cute nice atmosphere, they had a very good variety of options and the choice to toast or leave regular for your subs. They even off salads and pizza! The staff and nice and attentive. Looking forward to returning and trying again. Nice spot for the city!

I've made sandwiches most of my life and know what a good sandwich should consist of. My sandwich bread was extremely dry and not toasted. It was just a mess of vegetables and mayo thrown on a piece of cardboard. No thank you. read more

Was good but not constant. Went on Saturday tried two different sandwiches both were very good! Then went back on Sunday , same two sandwiches but not as well prey as first time. Bread seemed bit less fresh, and portion inside noticeably less. Obviously made by different person. For that reason don't think I would go back. Need to be very consistent in making sandwiches. That is why in and out and del taco and other lunch food restaurants are so successful. read more

Good small sandwich shop. A bit expensive for the sandwich and does not come with a combo for the price. The employees seem really nice. No Tuna melt which is my fav, but tried a BBQ sandwich. A little disappointed with the sauce to meat ratio, especially the sauce being in the middle of sandwich and not on top of the meat. The sandwich taste fresh and the meat size was a generous proportion. I might try this place again but probably not any time soon. read more

Tiny sandwich shop in Desert Hot Springs that I'm SO glad we stopped by. Heading back to the Palm Springs airport after a weekend in Joshua Tree, looked up sandwich spots in the area and found this one near the top of the list. And deservedly so! The sandwiches were all amazing, from the BLTA to the Chipotle Chicken and the Turkey Bacon Ranch (they happened to be out of ranch at the time, but the sandwich was still excellent with the Spread Sauce subbed in). You get a lot of food for your money, no one finished their sandwich in one sitting and everyone left full and happy. Can't recommend highly enough! read more

I asked the lady behind the counter for a popular favorite recommendation and she seemed confused and just said everything was good. Two sandwiches around $40 so I was hoping for something great. Unfortunately we agreed that the taste was good, but nothing amazing and probably not what we were expecting for the price. Everything fell just a little bit flat. It wasn't bad but it wasn't memorable either. I ended up drizzling balsamic vinegar on the Caprese at home since they only put olive oil and a little bit of pesto on the bread and the whole thing just felt lacking ever so slightly. The shop itself was clean and well kept and had a lot to offer so I still recommend stopping by and browsing for Italian goodies. Just not my favorite sandwich spot. Maybe we will try something else another day or just stick to the pasta!

Sure friendly and approachable staff ready to guide you into gastronomical bliss. And the restaurant though small and unassuming in a strip mall is clean and pleasant. Bon apetite

This is a bit of an odd duck of a place. First the pluses. Friendly service. Clean and the…read morebathrooms were well stocked. The water tastes good, always a good sign. The fish taco was reasonably priced and tasty. Now the peculiarities of the place. The big marble tables are huge and look as though they were inherited from a previous establishment. With smaller tables they could fit more people. Speaking of huge, the menu reminds me of the menu on Schitt's Creek, which is supposed to be comedic. There are way too many items on the menu and a nightmare for inventory and the cooking staff. The menu shows a lack of focus which is often a death-nail for restaurants. I hope they make it and suggest that they do some fine tuning.

This is traditional California Mexican food, and it is a real pleasure to be able to say this…read moreestablishment is run very clean. I love this type of food but often it does not sit well with me. This is a very rare gem. I hate that the bar of entry is so low, but it seems pretty clear to me that they don't use lard because as I write this review, I am not in any sort of discomfort. I also got a chile relleno burrito and that was excellent as well. There was a line of local people here clearly for a reason. Castenedas may be open later, but you will be much happier if you go here. Also, if you can pay cash. To run a restaurant with high-quality ingredients is a tough business. If you use a credit card the bank takes that little extra bit pay cash. Let's keep this place going. I love you guys. I'll see you again soon hopefully. Gracias

I recently visited a charming donut shop that left my taste buds delighted. The variety of flavors offered was impressive, ranging from classic glazed to innovative combinations. The donuts were light, fluffy, and perfectly sweetened. The cozy ambiance and friendly staff added to the overall enjoyable experience.

The Spread is a total win! The service is fast and the staff is super friendly. The bread is a game-changer, it's always warm and delicious. And the Chipotle Sandwich, oh my gosh, it's one of the best in the Coachella Valley. If you're looking for a fantastic sandwich and awesome service, you gotta check out The Spread! read more
