“Definitely enjoyed my quick lunch here. No real seating here, but the sandwich was perfectly toasted. Got the avocado with veggies only and vegan mayo and it was perfect. Had a banana oat smoothie that was decent. Nothing gourmet, but definitely satisfying.“

“Very delicious pesto chicken torta. They have smoothies, fruit bowls, salsas, sandwiches (bread or tortas).They have some chips and candy bars as well. Nice man that works here. Very accommodating. Call and order ahead.The parking lot is a bit congested as it shares the lot with the beauty school.“

“great sandwich. best in town in my opinion“

“Very friendly staff the food is great.“

“This is a cute little deli with really really good sandwiches that travel pretty well! My fiancé and I stopped here before heading to the zoo and carried them in my tote bag for about 3 hours and they just barely started to soak through the wrapper. The sandwiches were delicious and reasonably priced! I would definitely recommend this place for travelers looking for something easy and delicious!“

“Great breakfast items! Great family 💙“

“I like my iced coffee from here. In my opinion it’s better than from Starbucks or any other coffee shops in the downtown area. (It doesn’t give me the jitters, not to say it’s weak.) Friendly staff, and a convenient downtown location.“

“When I needed it most, Bistro Europa came through in a way I’ll never forget. They didn’t just serve a sandwich — they served kindness, generosity, and a reminder of the good that still exists in this world. The sandwich? Absolutely the best I’ve ever had. Fresh, flavorful, and made with love — just like everything they do. I’m beyond grateful for this amazing team and their business. Thank you, Bistro Europa, for being there in a moment that truly mattered. We’ll be loyal customers for life! - Dustin Hufnal“

“Can’t go wrong stopping at this gem! Excellent food(brisket is super-solid), creative/stylish menu, music/ambiance is on point, healthy drink options, and the best part: the peeps that operate it! Thank you to Justin & John for a great 1st experience! I’ll be back...🌞“

“I pass by Big Front Door often heading to work. Decided to stop in and give it a try this afternoon. I got their Cobbler salad and my friend got the chicken parmesan sandwich. The portion sizes are very generous, I asked for extra dressing with my salad and didn't really need it as there was a decent amount left. The food tasted great and was served up without much of a wait time. The star of the show was the gentleman that helped us though! I wish I had taken the time to get his name to give him proper credit. He greeted us, made small talk while my friend and I decided what to have and as we were leaving he offered to clear our table for us. Very polite and friendly! I will definitely be adding this to my list of regular places to go.“

“mamma mia signature is THE absolute best sandwich I've ever had in my life. staff is always friendly, food is always great, beer is always cold. what else can you ask for?“

“I recently started working in the same building as Jordan's and decided to try it out this week since I didn't pack lunch. I got the potato soup and half a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon. The food was good, definitely tasted homemade and rhe portions were huge. I would definitely go back!“

“I love their food. Wish they have the langs challah bread, their challah bread is not something you can do kiddush with.“

“I can’t say enough good things about this place! ⭐️ Since moving back to San Diego, I’ve been looking for a solid deli with great food and an even better atmosphere - this spot delivers on both. The staff here truly go above and beyond, treating every customer like family. You can tell they put a lot of heart into what they do, and it makes all the difference.

The sandwiches are top-notch, made with fresh ingredients and generous portions. But what really stands out is the genuine kindness and warmth of the people who run this place. It’s the kind of spot that reminds you why supporting local, family-owned businesses is so important.

If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won’t just get a great meal - you’ll get a great experience. 👏🏻“

“THE. BEST. turkey, bacon and avocado sandwich I've ever had in my life!“

“This was our first time eating at the Executive Deli & Cafe as we had business nearby. The other patrons seemed like comfortable regulars, which is always a good sign. Parking was tight, but our sandwiches were made with fresh ingredients and were very tasty. They have lots of options for bottled drinks and they offer home made, pre-wrapped desserts. We shared a slice of yummy banana nut bread that was very generous.“

“Aside from the fact this place is literally down the hill from me.. the owner & his beautiful family are Gucci ASF. Always smiling no matter what.. I've seen him take over this place, update & upgrade expanding not only his professionalism but the overall popularity in owning/running a well established business. I highly recommend stopping by for one of his infamous handcrafted deli sandwiches. Yooo, you don't even knoow!! 🤤 As for the liquor aspect of it, your boy's got a top notch selection of shelf spirits varying from Bourbon, Rye, Tequila, Gin, Vodka, Scotch whisky, Amaro & even Bitters! Oh Mylanta Georgia I almost forgot.. 🤗 this family owned business even has the types of snacks & munchies we all crave; don't let me get started on the Mexican candies yo 😆 I'm telling y'all if you still think it's too good to be true, just see for yourself!! Well worth the spending xoxo“

“The only family owned and operated Deli Restaurant and Coffee Spot in the heart of Downtown San Diego. If you're new in town, you won't find it just strolling through downtown San Diego, but ask anyone who works within a mile of 4th and B, they can point you to The Plaza Deli and 401 Brew Street. I've been eating here for 26 years. Beautiful family, amazing and friendly staff. Good portions. Sandwiches large enough for two meals, and more salad choices (and salad dressings) than you will find anywhere. My breakfast fave, the croissant with sausage, egg and cheddar - toasted :)“

“John Gotti was great. Tasty, high quality sandwich. Torta roll is excellent and the best part of the sandwich.“

“I came here today, and I had a great experience. The girl who helped me was very kind, friendly, and welcoming. I also loved how well everyone worked together as a team. We ordered the High,Mob, San Diego Psycho, Godfather, Hitman, Not So Vegan, The Cage, and The New Yorker.
The sandwiches exceeded my expectations, every sandwich was fresh, and full of flavor. It’s worth every penny. I will definitely come back“

“Delicious food and awesome service!“

“Really nice family-owned cafe. Stopped by before the gym for a coffee and asked for something strong. The owner suggested a small Americano, and it was exactly what I needed. Super friendly guy and very customer-oriented. Good selection of food and drinks, convenient location, and just an all-around great local spot. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Bread is nice and soft. Lots of pink items for my daughter's birthday feast. The lady there was so sweet and helpful. She arranged all our pan dulce on a cardboard platter and covered it in cellophane for us. Love this plane. My new go to Panadería.“

“Nice guy running this small local business. Fast and friendly service. Received a full hot turkey sandwich and it was better than expected, plus it came with a little soup, all for $12. This deli combo was much cheaper than nearby similar businesses. Not to mention, Fred’s hot turkey sandwich was much better (and fuller) than the sad, squished sandwich I received from corner bakery cafe the other day. I’d rather give my business to a place like this than the more expensive chain businesses.“

“The sandwiches are delicious and hearty!! At a great price too.“

“The BEST Carne Asada Street tacos and only $1 each. I stock up with these whenever I'm in the area and keep them in the fridge for later.The fruit drinks are exceptionally good and very generously sized.The place is super clean and the staff is very friendly.Worth the drive from wherever.“

“Great sandwich shop! Best in San Diego!“

“What an amazing place! The food is soooo amazing and the staff there are so kind and helpful! Beautiful location. Great place to grab lunch then go for a beautiful walk to spanish landing park! The mediterranean salad and roast beef sandwich was a 10/10!!! I would t care if I had to pay $50 for parking to go there! I would still pay it!“

“The people are awesome and friendly. You are always greeted with a smile and made to feel they are really glad you’re there. The store is clean and the food is excellent. The selection of alcohol, wine and beers is some of the I’ve seen. Good job!“

“Bought online and picked up the family meal on the Monday before T-day. Easy parking, no line. Walked right in, picked up my goods, and walked right out to my car. Soooo smooth. Learned my lesson last year. Plus, got a discount for picking up my order early.

The ham and sides were awesome! Next... Christmas dinner....“

“1st time here, not my last. I will be back real soon“

“13 April 2026
Monday

Just had the most amazing sandwich ... the Jose's Special was outstanding. Hot pastrami, juicy roast beef, Swiss on grilled sourdough.

I usually get the Philly Cheese-steak, but wanted something different today. I found my new favorite.

Thank you Sunrise Deli !!“

“Best sandwiches :) The bread makes it!“

“Great selection!!! Deli items, groceries, wine, liquor, beer, clean and well lit. Nice people working there too!!!“

“Very good sandwiches and fruit. Love this place.“

“We had an incredible experience at Lou’s Deli SD! The food was absolutely amazing and everything tasted exactly as expected. I highly recommend the chicken caesar salad wrap—it was delicious, packed with flavor, and incredibly filling. We also grabbed the potato salad and tater tots to share, and both were the perfect sides to top off the meal.

The service here is top-notch. The staff was attentive enough that you felt genuinely cared for and assisted, but they weren't hovering or making you feel overwhelmed. It's that perfect balance that's hard to find.

To top it all off, they are incredibly dog-friendly. I had read online that dogs were welcome, but I didn't expect my pup to get such amazing treatment! As soon as we sat down, they offered a fresh bowl of water and even brought out a pup cup with whipped cream.

Great food, fantastic service, and they treat your four-legged friends like royalty. We will definitely be back!“
