Santa Barbara Deli impressed me with its flavorful sandwiches and welcoming atmosphere. A must-visit for a delicious and satisfying meal in town.

The hero sandwich was pretty basic but priced well

They changed ownership a few years ago and are no longer a high quality community business. Prices are high, they price gouge you depending on how they feel (they charged me $15 for white claws one time and $20 another - same week), if you're short by 5¢ they won't make the sale, etc. the rolls they put their sandwiches on are stale and dry. If you can, definitely to Sal's deli one block up.

Chopped cheese, everything on it. Thank me later.

They don’t know what they are doing. It was terrible. Please don’t go

"Local go to Bodega" Santa Barbara is my go to Bodega. There is nothing particularly unique about this place, but not a bad option if you want to grab some milk, some beer or a egg, bacon, bagel sandwich. Prices are reasonable and this place fits with the neighborhood.

A greasy dump. But it's right across the street from three schools so feel free to inject your child with a number of junk food options: cola, potato chips, chemical-filled candy... sorry, no decent fruit selection. This Avenue B hole-in-the-wall should be better than this; I can't imagine the owner(s) caring at all about the neighborhood or their place in it.

Didn't have a good experience at this spot. I ordered a sandwich and it took 30 minutes to get it. The worker didn't wear a mask at any point even while making my food. Also, none of the customers were wearing masks, so I'm a little confused.

Had a change of ownership in the last year or so, previous owners were wonderful. New owners just as nice. Great deli variety. Fantastic customer service.
