    Banh Mi
    Lawrence P.

    Stopped by this sandwich shop on the way up to Apple Hill. Saw the Yelp reviews and looked promising. It's basically a walk up in a small plaza with some tables. Cute spot. Definitely good for people watching. Got a couple sandwiches: Banh Mi - seeing the list of ingredients I was excited for this one. Never seen a place use lap chung in banh mi. The sandwich itself was kind of underwhelming. First of all, it's not on a French roll. Because of this, the moisture from the slaw soaked the entire bottom bun, making it difficult to eat. Also, the lap chung was slice into small coin sized pieces, rather than lengthwise, which means it all fell out when you tried to eat the sandwich. All the ingredients inside pretty much masked the taste of the sausage so you really didn't get the taste. I didn't get how this was supposed to be a banh mi. Honey Walnut - this was ok. Kind of standard honey walnut. In theory this sounded great but it's a tad rich and needs something to cut through it. There were a ton of other sandwiches and maybe we should've tried others but for the two we got it was just alright.

    Worth. The. Hype. I was recommended this place and then I read that it's the number one sandwich shop via Yelp. Hands down one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Ever. Street parking only & it can be tight. They have a few chairs & tables outside.

    SMOKED OYSTER ¡!¡
    Anjelica C.

    So glad we stopped by this sandwich shop on our drive to tahoe (I think it's gonna be a new go to when we're in the area)! My husband got the smoked oyster sandwich and I got the Kimchi and Spam sandwich and we were both wowed by the unique combinations and how well the ingredients all worked together. Oyster sandwich: this was like a next level BLT. The crunch and flavor from the bacon was perfect, the oysters were subtle but delicious, and the microgreen mix was refreshing. My husband normally hates pickles but he didn't mind them in this sandwich. Spam and kimchi: wow, the toffee peanut butter sauce was incredible. I could order a jar of that. I loved how well it balanced with the kimchi flavors and the kewpie dressed slaw. My only wish was that we could order halves of sandwiches instead and be able to try more of a variety, because the sandwiches are quite large (and priced accordingly) so I wasn't able to finish mine. But I do hope to come with a bigger group next time and hopefully we can split a few sandos to share. I absolutely want to try the thanksgiving sandwich, honey walnut prawns, and maybe even the 4 cheese or grape and feta ones. We did get the fries this time but can probably skip it next time as the sandwiches steal the show. Also, the two workers were so friendly and helpful while we were deciding our orders. Looking forward to visiting again!

    SPAM AND KIMCHI !!!
    Katyayini K.

    Creative sandwich combinations, innovative ways on food recreation! This was such a suprise find, tucked away in Placerville. I got the chicken satay and the spam and kimchi sandwich. The chicken satay sandwich was really good! Perfect stuffing to bread ratio. It was more of a turmeric seasoning rather than a satay one (which emphasizes more on the charcoal grill and peanut sauce). The spam and kimchi was also really good. However there was too much stuffing (to bread ratio). The was a large amount of regular coleslaw, and I would've preferred more kimchi or a kimchi coleslaw of sorts! I would've also like a thicker slice of spam! I would've preferred give this place 3.75/5 stars.

    Super delicious sandwiches! They are a bit heavy and some were a little too sweet for our tastebuds, but certainly worth trying. It is a small kitchen tucked into a breezeway of sorts that leads to several other shops. Lots of posters out front showing the different sandwiches, which was a little confusing at first, but then we realized it was a super creative way to show what they had to offer! My only complaint was the price. Much more than I expected for just a sandwich, but they put a lot of ingredients on there and a lot of love into making it, you can tell!

    We drove up from Nevada to try this spot and it did not disappoint. The wait was alot longer than we would've liked but it was well worth it! The food was hot, delicious and fresh. Like nothing we had ever had. The seating is in an outdoor courtyard but it was fine with us. I had the fried boloney and he had the Spam and kimchi. We will definitely be back.

    OK, we've been around Placerville for five years and I've never stopped and checked this place out. It's kind of hidden and you can definitely walk past it and miss it.. but we stopped by today cause we were craving sandwiches and let me tell you their selection is definitely different but their sandwiches are 15 out of 10. The owner is there working like a badass and he's got such rad staff !! Go get yourself a sando! Caution, though, if you are not somebody who is open-minded with food or a foodie stay away because these sandwiches are different and they're big and they're just amazing

    Bahn mi *special*
    Lisa W.

    On our way home from camping we wanted to find a great deli and thankfully I had bookmarked this place on Yelp after hearing about it. It's located on the historic Main Street which I've not been to in 40 years! You place your order at a window and boy was it challenging to narrow down what to get. The menu offers incredible and unusual sandwiches. They were a bit too creative for the grandkids yet thankfully they offered a kids burger or grilled cheese. There is a shady patio to eat and your order is delivered to you. I will add that the prices are higher than your normal deli sandwich but they are packed with ingredients and pretty large. As a matter of fact, I had them cut my sandwich in half so I could bring half home, but the sandwich has so many goodies inside it did not fare to well. It was quite messy when I got home. Boy was it ever delicious though! I had the falafel sandwich packed with zesty ingredients. My granddaughters grilled cheese was one of the best (I snuck a bite). My daughter had the apple with Brie and honey which she liked but said it was a bit too sweet. My son-in-law had their version of bahn mi and he loved all the ingredients inside of it. The staff were friendly and patient with our ordering questions. If you're craving a really great and creative sandwich, this is your place!

    CHICKEN SATAYAYAM
    Kiara S.

    Everyone from the area I meet praises Timmy's Brown Bag and I definitely get the hype now! It is takeout only but there are several tables inside the alley to grab a seat at. Every sandwich is made to order and each ingredient is thoughtfully put together. Service is great! The staff is super friendly and they really emphasized their ability to accommodate. They had run out of Texas toast for my Midwest Meat Lover's this morning, but I left them to their best judgment and my sandwich still came out delicious! The Chicken Satayam was also delicious and included a thick peanut butter that cut into the savory flavor of the chicken which made for such a well rounded sandwich. The thing I'm sure everyone loves about Timmy's is every sandwich sounds crazy, yet the flavors work; they carry unique options that you won't find anywhere else. The portions are huge and well worth every penny. I will say my leftovers might have even tasted better which is always shocking. Of course I'll be back, I have to try everything now!

    I was recommended this establishment while getting my nails done nearby and it did not disappoint. After camping in the woods and eating beans for five days we were hungry for something different and Timmy's Brown Bag is exactly that! The menu is meant to drive a sane person loopy because of the fonts and I love it. I say this as someone who uses comic sans at work for funsies. But the fonts also kind of lean into all of the fun ingredients at play in these creations. Just the experience of reading the menu had me racking my brain to try and imagine the flavor profile of the offerings and I'd say you'll never guess. You just have to go for it. In my head the falafel was playing it safe. The falafel sandwich was so delicious and the flavors explode together to bring so much tang to something that a lot of places make boring with just hummus. Not here, those heirloom tomatoes are the bomb! Husband got the deviled egg salad sandwich and had the same reaction. The sandwiches have that zip that I am always looking for. No need for my pocket hot sauce here. We cannot wait to come back and step outside the comfort zone to order something more daring.

    Spam and Slaw, not kimchi
    Shelia L.

    I got the Spam and Kimchi sandwich. It was delicious!! BUT it isn't kimchi it's cole slaw. My hubby got the Char sui pork and it was also really good. I cant wait to get back that way to try another weird but delicious combination.

    Tacos sudados en mole
    Fred D.

    We finally made it to the world famous Timmy's. All the gourmet magazine reviews are true here you will find a wide variety of unusual and delicious sandwiches, hamburgers, and tacos. The Mexican food is well prepared. The falafel sandwich is sensational, even though it's not served on a pita. There are nice tables outside to eat. The young man who waited on us was exceptionally kind and even brought out a bowl of water for our dog. We will be back.

    Can someone please confirm or refute the multiple reviews complaining the staff do not wear masks appropriately?

    Went today, two employees and ZERO masks

    Do they do low carb options for the sandwiches like swapping bread for lettuce wrap or salad bowl?

    No, but get a sandwich, it's a sandwich shop! You won't regret any of the items you choose, they are all amazing.

    Hello Sunshine! Sunshine Donuts that is. It's a little donut shop in the rural suburbs in the town…read moreof Placerville. I remember when this little building was the Italian Place restaurant. That restaurant moved down the road to a bigger location. Now it's the home for Sunshine Donuts. They have darn delicious donuts! I only tried their donuts; at least for now. They also sell bagels, breakfast sandwiches, hot coffee, and a humongous cold case of nonalcoholic drinks (milk, teas, sodas, seltzers, waters. juices, energy drinks, and coffee drinks). Lots of drink choices to quench your thirst even if donuts aren't your thing. I know my way around a donut. Having been a connoisseur from an early age, thanks dad. The donuts sat so prettily behind the glass counter. All so gorgeous without bubbling and cracked glazes. That tells me they know how to handle the various doughs and baking methods for the donuts. I bought one of each: cake, glazed and old fashion. And ate them right away. Mmm. Delicious. The vanilla cake with white frosting tasted rich and dense like a cake. Not heavy. The glazed donut was light, fluffy, with a slight all so prefect signature donut chew. Beautiful glazing, not too sweet. My favorite. The old fashion like the cake donut had a tasty cakey interior but classic crackly outside texture. The family that owns the business knows donuts! And are so welcoming, epitome of a local donut shop. Throwing out a history lesson: This area is informally called Gutenberg Corner. The Victorian house across the street was built around 1859 by the local mill owner. Then purchased in 1912 by pharmacist Gutenberg. He owned a 400+ acre ranch along with a pharmacy. Asian owned business.
