Pros: Delicious deli sandwiches. Some of the best in the valley. Mortadella, roast beef, turkey pesto, tuna…and more. I think I’ve had them all at this point. Then for cooking at home their frozen ravioli is amazeballs.
Cons: It’s not cheap. But what is these days. It’s also not great for hanging out and having lunch. Not bad or dirty or anything like that. It’s just a deli. No big deal. Give them a whirl.
BNP Paribas Open pro tip: Get takeout and take these sandwiches courtside and watch tennis. I do this every year and people around me ask which place I got it from.

Love this place! The prepared food is amazing... The best sandwiches in the desert and don't miss the bakery. They also have an excellent grocery section, they're my go-to for semolina flour. It's always busy, so have patience when you go in... the staff isn't rude, they're just helping customers ahead of you :)

Went there earlier for the first time and the staff member was super patient and helpful. The sandwich was delicious, with fresh ingredients, so I will be going back.

Ted was awesome! We went for our first visit right before they closed and he was patient and answered all our questions and then gave us a few goodies to try! Will definitely be back.

Service here is always excellent. Today they made a small mistake and treated us to part of our order. I knew this place reminded me of my juice bar back when I had it. Customer service is huge. I was treated the way I used to treat my own customers. 🥰
My patronage is appreciated and it shows.

Visiting from Virginia Beach Va, sister and I split a turkey pesto on Rosemary Foccacia, cucumber and tomatoes salad side.
It was fantastic! Fresh turkey, bright lettuce and tomato, and the perfect amount of pesto mayo.
Staff were friendly and efficient, venue was sparingly clean and check out the desserts, which are not to be missed.

I was recently recommended this spot by friends, and I’m so glad I decided to check it out! If you’re in the mood for a delicious Italian sando made on freshly baked bread, look no further. The service here is fast and efficient, adding to the overall great experience.
While waiting, I explored their mini grocery store, which is stocked with everything you need to create an amazing Italian dinner at home. Don’t forget to save room for dessert—I was lucky enough to grab the last pizza to go, and after heating it in the oven, it was absolutely delightful! If you’re like me and have a craving for Italian sandwiches, this place is an absolute gem!
