That is one delicious sandwich! John's way is perfect and I love that they have that on the menu! A must stop every time I am in Montecito!

The best Deli around. Sandwiches are always consistent and delicious with the highest quality ingredients. My go-to is John’s Special with all the fixings. Superb. Thank you for providing our community with such good eats!

Great sandwiches, and great attitude by the helper who made our six sandwiches.However... order made online and by phone at 10:50, with 11:05 as the promised pickup time. Am in a terrific time crunch getting ready for an event this afternoon. Have to get to another pickup at noon in downtown Santa Barbara, after dropping sandwiches off back home. I'm 10 minute drive away. Gave them 10 extra minutes to assure quick pickup. Arrived 11:15 to see none of the sandwiches started, just bread laid out. Then the owner/manager, not sure which, is delivering a sandwich to a table outside... he's not working on our order, having delegated that to his employee. Just my order and the table of 2 outside at this point. Then he delivers a second sandwich to the outside table. Then another guy arrives, orders a bunch of bagle somethings, and the owner/manager is working on the new order, not helping his employee with my order now going on 15 minutes late. Then the owner delivers a third sandwich, to go, to the table of 2, still not helping his employee with my prior order. Next, the owner finishes working on the bagle order, hands it to the fellow, and out he walks with his order, made after I had arrived to pick up mine. In the meantime, my order is still not completed, and he's not helping his poor employee who knows the order is 25 minutes late and is feeling stress.Like I said, great sandwiches, terrible decision making by the owner/manager (not sure which) to work on other orders that came in after mine, and deliver those orders, while I'm standing around for 15 minutes, 25 minutes after the promised pickup time, wondering if I now have time to deliver the sandwiches and get to downtown Santa Barbara by noon..

Just went to this place for the 2nd time in a week. Food is really good. Service is excellent. Warm and friendly staff. Ambiance is also warm and inviting. I would highly recommend Pat's. When you go I hope you get to meet her. She is quite exceptional. Gary too, as well as the rest of the staff.

The food, coffee and wine are great and Montecito Gourmet helps support the local community, I highly recommend.Check out the thank you love from Fire Departments, first responders and the community to the Montecito Gourmet in the back of the shop.

Patrick was absolutely incredible, and the food and coffee were above and beyond.In addition to that, the place itself has the most inspiring story - highly recommended to come and hear the story, enioy the fresh coffee, and last but not least - unparalleled sandwiches (with mind boggling selection of cheese and meats).

Great place! The party platter we ordered was filled with delicious cheeses, meats, olives, fruits etc and we enjoyed every bite! The owner was fun and gave us some treats to sample while he was putting together the platter. Great place to get a perfect party platter!

Best Italian sub I've ever had. Quality meats & cheeses. Great bread, great service.

We stopped by this place as a quick detour on a road trip. Wow, it was definitely worth it! Small town delis are amazing but this place tries to make it to a new level.

The owner, Patrick, is fantastic and involved in the community. The meats are delicious and the coffee is great. Talk with the guys who are working to see if they can give you some meat samples to home in on what you want. 100% recommended stop.

This place is phenomenal. What a hidden gem. Fresh sliced meats and cheese to order when you get a sandwich. Proper portions and never too much lettuce like the larger chains. I go here every time can when I work in montecito.

Terrible!! Not the same place anymore!

Kara Enroth Bettencourt

Such friendly service and the wonderful sandwiches I remember from growing up. Still the best sandwich in the world

I tried the milk tea here and it wasn't the best. It was watery and did not taste good at all.I had also ordered the brown sugar frosted milk with boba and pudding and that one tasted really good. It was sweet and everything was right with it. I definitely recommend this drink.
