“ Tucked away from the street in a quiet cute outdoor seating area. Owner was very friendly and personable! The pastrami melt was absolutely amazing! Great take away lunch option to head to the beach with! ”
“ We got sandwiches to go and ate them on the water. The owner was lovely, he made us great sandwiches and gave us good kayaking recommendations. The food was exceptional. We ordered four sandwiches and a croissant sandwich (crowich), everyone loved their food! I would absolutely return for the great food, and service. ”
“ Very cute spot, and charming staff. Genuinely one of the most delicious sandwiches I’ve had in awhile! ”
“ Great little sandwich shop. Finding it is easy on foot. Look for the International Shops as your street facing sign. We ordered online and our sandwich and wrap were ready for pickup really quickly. My turkey wrap was delicious. My wife's sandwich was so tasty looking a seagull snatched half of it right from her hand on the beach. Never argue with the locals. ”
“ My wife said the TBA was literally the best sandwich she has ever had, so that’s something! Very friendly guy who was so nice and patient with my young kids, and it is nestled in an extremely cute alley. Highly recommended for a quick lunch break after exploring the Cove ”
“ An AMAZING place for some great sandwiches!! I found this place after searching for a place to satisfy my sandwich cravings and so glad I ended up here. The business owners are the sweetest people and were so gracious. I ordered the Italian Torpedo & their soup of the day which was a chicken noodle soup. The sandwich was delicious and really hit the spot. Soup was amazing too. So happy to support this business and you should too! ”
“ Great sandwiches that are made super fresh. The customer service is excellent as well and the owner is very friendly! The shop is nestled in a cute little area to sit and eat as well. ”
“ Wow!! This sandwich was made to perfection! I got the “create your own” sandwich and it was on point! Sourdough bread with Mayo Mustard, roast beef, bacon, lettuce , tomato, provolone cheese, sprouts, avocado and banana peppers. This sandwich was definitely over the top and deli-luscious is an understatement on how good this sandwich was! I will definitely recommend and return! The cashier was super friendly and helpful in helping me choose. Derek was super awesome! Saxen the sandwich artist that made this definitely added some love to it and brought it out to me personally! The crew is awesome and the food is super fresh! Thank you Deli-luscious! ”
