Lovely vegetarian choices. I recommend the Farmer's Market. Service is always fast and easy to order online.

Awesome sandwich, awesome beet and gorgonzola salad. Great service that made the beet salad that was no longer on the menu.

Been coming here for decades but last several visits have been disappointing from a service perspective (food is great, as always). Ticket times run a consistent 15-20 minutes even when not terribly busy -- and never an apology for the slowness, my orders have been misplaced, orders for salad never inquire about or provide dressing, the English skills of some of the cashiers are subpar and result in mistakes, and the whole team seems uncoordinated, slow, and indifferent -- though specific individuals can be nice. There's also no indication of where your order is in the queue, so you can't tell if they've lost it or it's just taking A REALLY LONG TIME. It really seems like their systems and training need a tune up. Zooccoli's downtown (and this place in the past) show that if you setup, staff, and train correctly you can process huge volumes efficiently. Unfortunately, the current incarnation of this place has lost sight of that ball.

I've been going to this place for many years (since 1973) and I highly recommend you all give it a try. The food /bread is always fresh ! And the sandwiches are great. The soups are delicious and hot ! The staff are really nice and friendly! The atmosphere for dinning is warm and nice (clean) ! I highly recommend our Erik's deli here in scotts valley! They also will do phone orders to go

Good sandwiches and the staff are always working hard with a smile. I believe the chain started in Scott's Valley so it's cool to see they still have a local location

It's deeply pleasing to take a drive through Kings Village, in Scotts Valley, and be reassured that the very first Erik's Deli still serves as a landmark there since 1973. I was a young 13 when my folks would treat my twin brother and I to an outstanding experience in THIS VERY SPECIAL DELI in 1977. The family and I would divulge our saved appetites here often, throughout the following 2 decades, and never an iota of a let down. Adventurous sandwiches and soups/salads to satisfy delightfully. A special mention must be honored though;**An order of THE BEST clam chowder served up in a sourdough loaf bowl IS A PRIZE FOR MANY PATRONS** - a must have dish!!For some various reasons, my path led me elsewhere... away from Erik's warm comforts for too long of an absence (about 25 years, although I still resided amongst these beautiful mountains & valleys with their gulches and folds teeming with life).Until just last weekend, my young neighbor suggested eating lunch at Erik's Deli, since we were in Scotts Valley for a remedy of resolve.I am 59 now, and upon walking through the entrance doors up to the ordering counter, I was transmuted instantly to a youth of my teens again (as the atmosphere was pristinely preserved EXACTLY as I remembered). Excitedly, without referring to the menu, I recalled all my favorite memories of sandwiches. As the pot of clam chowder tempted my friend and I through the deli glass, a "Sea Dog" and "Marrakesh Express" sandwiches, respectively, were ordered. We both gave in to 'the temptation' without a pause, and added 2 large servings of Erik's Clam Chowder to warm our innards.??ABSOLUTELY AND IMPECCABLY DELICIOUS.ALL OF IT!!Great job and high regards to the staff. I flat out fell in love with this place AGAIN.Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! (and a heartfelt appreciation for my young neighbor's suggestion, which led us to this gem of refreshing proportions... for my own special tryst and fond reunion. FIVE STARS, BABY!!??See you again, very soon!! ???? ~ Happy Thanksgiving Day to my loved ones and all of you!!

Okay so really good place really good service and food but we asked for extra pickles and in return we got 0 pickles normally would give five star if they gave me their delicious house made pickles
Usually come during the day but came at 735pm well before it was supposed to be closed and the door was locked and was definitely closed with people cleaning inside ignoring me and some other people that showed up… other than that it’s usually pretty good.

I stood at the counter for what seemed like 10 minutes and the two employees just ignored me avoided eye contact. Not even hello. Nothing. Also, the place is full of flies.

The Del Monte Special Sandwich I get every time I visit is always tasty! The service is good, sometimes a teensy bit slow. Overall a good sandwich.
