“So, 6 of us did a rode down here from Oakland to have lunch.
Saw a lot of great reviews regarding the deli.
Was a great ride through the redwoods to our final Destination. Sandwiches were on point. There were 2 things that they don’t have that was sort of a turn off.
They have 1 table in front that seats 3 people. No where else to sit to enjoy our sandwiches. And a bigger issue, no public bathrooms/Porta potties for customers.
Guys can take care of themselves, but for the ladies along for the ride, it’s tuff….
Other than those 2 things, we enjoyed our ride, and lunch destination.”

“Tom’s Bright Eye Surprise is delicious! For vegetarian folks it’s great with a fried egg added as well. I had a meat-eater with me who said the It Ain’t Chicken Sandwich was delicious and that it tasted like chicken and had great texture. The crispy brussel sprouts were tasty too! I will definitely be back (and am trying the soft serve next time!). They have gluten-free breads for the sandos that look and taste like the gluten versions!

All outdoor seating, perfect for a warm sunny day :)”

“Sampa served me the one of the best meals I’ve had so far this meal. It’s one of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area and I would drive from San Jose to Santa Cruz just to get their muqueca.

Their muqueca is a wonderful coconut seafood stew served with farofa (toasted cassava) and I subbed rice for black beans. Their hot sauce is great as well. Every bite was delicious and I can’t wait to go back. Would also love to try the torta de frango (chicken pot pie) next time.”
