5 Best Delis near Santa Barbara

“I've been a loyal customer at South Coast Deli in Goleta for the past two years, visiting twice a week, and I've tried everything on the menu. Their food never disappoints! My all-time favorite is the Chicken Caesar Sammie—it's absolutely delicious and always hits the spot. The staff here is warm and welcoming, making every visit a pleasure. It gets busy at lunch, but ordering online for pickup is a breeze and saves a lot of time. Highly recommend South Coast Deli for anyone looking for fantastic food and great service!“

“Great small gourmet Market. They have vegetables, condiments, pasta, etc...but not cleaning products or paper goods. They have wines.
I love this market for their delicious lemon tea cake! Their cookies, brownies, and other treats are all fabulous.“

“Compact neighborhood market also serving traditional Mexican street food like tacos, tortas, and burritos. I ordered 4 tacos. The lengua was simple but tender, as was the chicken ranchero and steak ranchero (stewed meat with tomato, jalapeno, and onion). Each paired well with their house-made salsa verde. However the chopped tri-tip was dry and difficult to chew. No amount of salsa could bring that back to life.“

“Always great food and the sandwiches are big. My wife and I often split a sandwich. Can't get enough of the chicken pesto on sourdough! Always friendly services. Today I walked in for a pickup and they knew my last name before I even got to the counter. Impressive!!“

“A wonderful selection and great for parties ✨“
