Locally owned breakfast, lunch, and snack spot. Just opened on 6/18/23, so the team is still learning. Many of them go above and beyond while training the others. Food was delicious! My mother did not want to share the pastrami on rye that we ordered...Read More

Wonderful family deli. The Cali sandwich is my go-to. The pastries are also a must try. Lunch is busy during the summer. You can order ahead. Great place for lunch if you're heading to the beach in Aptos.

Surprising gem that recently popped up near the park above the Cement Ship. In fact, order that sandwich option and you'll be glad you did. Love the consistent hours: 8-5 Daily.
