Not in the main drag in Monterey but easy to find. After a freezing cold whale watching trip we headed straight to here on Tripadvisor recommendations and boy it did not disappoint! I had the Coast Guard Special (1/2 as the whole is huge, see photo), hubby Marine Special and son Air Force special. We took one portion of chocolate/peanut butter cake that took us 3 days to eat because it was very sweet and rich but glorious. The sandwiches were loaded and the taste amazing. Ive never eaten such a big sandwich in my life but was determined to finish! I would of loved to look around the store more with the memorabilia but we were very hungry. Bennett was on good form with jokes at the till and spent a bit of time chatting with us and I wish we could have chatted longer as he seemed such a nice guy. It wasn't the cheapest lunch once we added drinks and crisps but the sandwiches will be talked about for a long time in our family.

This unpretentious little deli/cafe was a great find. Staff are friendly and the menu is varied. Everything is made fresh and the sandwiches are well filled. I had the farmers' omelette which came with potatoes and toast and it was so good.Prices are so reasonable.There are four tables inside and more outside.Would happily return.

This is a gem, situated in the historic downtown of Monterey. The food is awesome. We tried Sunday special, lunch special (red snapper teriyaki set), tempura udon and takoyaki. Each one of those really make our palates sing! Barley tea, hot and cold, are provided at no charge. Only drawback is that the place is small so that the seating area is small. We are lucky we got a table on time for our meal.
