34 Best Delis near Santa Monica

“If you love a GREAT Italian style sub sandwich... and haven't tried the Bay Cities Godmother sandwich... YOU ARE MISSING OUT BIG TIME!!!

Get yourself in there... order their Godmother sandwich made on their proprietary fresh daily made bread that's crispy on the outside... and soft inside. It's made with freshly sliced Boarshead Italian cold cuts. Have them add the works to it... including their hot or mild peppers. You won't be disappointed!!!“

“Sandwiches are very good 😌 will definitely be back for more and very fast service and friendly servers 👍👍👍“

“Delicious pastrami and corned beef on rye! The meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender, paired perfectly with truly outstanding rye bread.

This deli has been incredibly consistent with their food quality, which keeps us coming back. The service was also excellent! Cynthia is an absolute gem and made sure our order was perfect.

Highly recommend!“

“I would like to express my appreciation to Olga, the owner of the store, as well as one of her staff members, Tatyana, who are always incredibly helpful and patient with all my questions. They are well-versed in the product and introduce their customers to their national culture. The store sells good-quality food and souvenirs. The positive energy in the store makes your shopping experience enjoyable, and the salespeople are always helpful in making your choices.“

“Gourmanoff European Deli is such a gem! The produce is always incredibly fresh and high quality, and you can really taste the difference in everything they prepare. Their selection of fresh foods is outstanding — from ready-made dishes to specialty European items, everything feels thoughtfully curated and delicious. It’s clear they take pride in both quality and freshness. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are always helpful and kind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great ingredients and authentic, fresh European foods!“

“Ever crave a NY style BEC bagel but you live in West LA? Look no further than New York Bagel and Deli! While there are many good bagel places in the city, this has the best bagel quality and value in my opinion. They do everything, from bagel with shmear and lox to BEC and even pizza, all for an affordable price. Highlight is the sandwich combo which is a fat bagel sandwich and a combo. It's my go to for a filling breakfast for a long day!“

“Great food, great service, wonderful atmosphere!!!“

“I’ve been coming here since my college days at LMU in 2011-2012 and went out of my way to visit again today in February 2026 while visiting from out of town where I live now.

Places like this are in short supply and should be cherished. Same owner. Same delicious sandwiches. Same high quality ingredients and large portions. I will continue coming to Olive for years to come, god willing. Can’t say enough good things.“

“I work in the area so I passed this place often and I’ve been wanting to try it for quite some time. A lot of my coworkers have said great things about it so I decided to give it a try today. It’s located right on Santa Monica Blvd on a gas station property inside where you pay for gas. One end of it is the market and the other end is for the gas station. In between are rows of the refrigerators and aisles of snacks so it was really nice to have all those drink options. The lady behind the counter was really polite and it was just a really quick and easy experience to get my lunch.

The menu is really large and they specialize in sandwiches. My order was ready shortly after I placed the order and it really hit the spot. I would recommend, especially if you are in a hurry or looking for a good quick casual meal.“

“Love Magee’s! The absolute best in meat, mashed potatoes, and gravy!“

“I wasn't impressed with their selection of ice cream. They have single serve ice cream and also larger sizes. Their prices are incredible. Ice cream are imported and are very fancy In comparison to local convenient stores ♡Very impressed!“

“The convenience store had a fantastic array of fresh produce and essential toiletries. The staff was incredibly helpful, guiding me through the aisles with a smile. The cleanliness and organization of the store were impeccable. It's evident they prioritize quality products for their customers. Despite the top-notch quality, the prices were surprisingly reasonable, making it a go-to spot for my daily essentials. A definite recommendation for anyone seeking convenience without compromising on quality.“

“Solid brunch menu (I had the oysters and the Eggs Benedict with a Brut Rose Champagne and the trifle for dessert). My server Corbin was very friendly and attentive. The outdoor space is cool, trendy, and hip, but not over-the-top. The music pulses, but it’s not a distraction to conversation. I’ve been looking for good places since moving to LA almost 6 months ago. This was one of the few times I wasn’t disappointed.“

“It’s a great dining experience that is not seen very often anywhere.“

“Great sandwiches, salads, and cannolis, and the service is fast and friendly!“

“We had several amazing experiences at this place. We ended up going several times. Food was great as well as the wait staff and I got to talk to the owner for a long while Thursday as I asked her we could hang out a bit after lunch while waiting to go to the airport!! We were on an 8 day trip and are there FOUR times. The atmosphere is wonderful but the food is amazing.“

“I used the Vons app today for a one hour delivery time frame via the Carlsbad, CA store. After the third-party member picked up the order and did not deliver for almost three hours, I requested a refund for the melted ice cream which I received promptly. I certainly did not expect to see this a couple of hours later: a refund for the entire purchase...thank you Vons for going above and beyond with your customer service!“

“My husband and I absolutely love this place!! The food is exquisite!… Simple whole ingredients taste so delicious!.. but most of all I love, Maggie(Maria Magdalena!) She always has a smile on her face and never hesitates to come over and ask us if we need anything!… Everybody here is amazing great people, skills, and customer service!!!“

“I've been coming to this market for years and u have nothing but pleasant services and excellent food. I recommend this deli with both thumbs up. But of course you cant please everyone there always will be someone unhappy. But such as Life! God Bless you and yours ! Good luck on all your future endeavors!“

“Excellent food and excellent service! Looking forward to having a full meal there next time we are in Beverly Hills!“

“Nice outdoor dining and the food was good“

“Fantastic place with a good variety of food. I enjoyed the fat Jerry, which had delightfully tender steak, crispy chicken fingers and fries, all seasoned perfectly to compliment eat bite! I'll definitely be going back again to try something new. The fat shake #4 with oreos was probably one of the best shakes I've had in a few years, so don't forget to get your shake on while you're there. If you're up for a challenge they've got 2 there, and best of luck with those! (Not my best photo below, but i was in a rush, and excited to try it. )“

“Un lugar muy bueno para desayunar comer ho cenar ya sea solo con la novia ho con la amante los meseros muy amigables muy atentos a su trabajo te sales con ganas de volver pronto ya muy pocos lugares son así. Muy excelente lugar“

“Самое лучшее место в ЛА у Кости“

“The holy land of Hollywood. Canter’s is a staple of Los Angeles, and has been visited by many of the greats and legends. With an extremely impressive menu list, you will be happy with whatever you get. The pastry counter is excellent with some great black and white cookies.“

“My quick, quick, quick LOCATION right here close by me! Those PRICES are well WORTH ittt!!! An 🤗 Oh yessss, that DIRTY RICE is the BOMB!!!!“

“Going strong since the early 70s!“

“Canter is one of the best in America. Pastrami heaven.“
