Los Olivos Grocery - SANTA YNEZ

Always interesting to revisit a place that you used to go to long ago and see how it 's fared after the passing of time, plus the whole COVID chapter. They 're still here, which is good. They 've upscaled part of the front of the store, offering more of a farmers market kind of feel; also good. To order sandwiches and other deli food, you go all the way to the back of the store. A large counter showcases various prepared foods, and menu boards announce the options for freshly made sandwiches. Dear Hubby decided he was hungry didn 't want to share a sandwich. That meant that we ended up with a lot of food for two sandwiches. The sourdough bread is extra wide, so when you load that up with filling, it 's a big quantity. I went for the chicken salad, which was prepared country style substantial chunks of chicken. The program is that you order the food at the back and get a ticket go to the front check out to pay then go back and wait for your order to be ready for pick up. That wasn 't straight forward at first. You can take food to go, or you can settle at one of the tables at the twin covered porch areas out front. Those porches are rustic , shall we say? A bit more attention to them, similar to what they did when they renovated the front produce area, would be a plus in my book. I 'd recommend that if you 're not super hungry, go ahead a split a sandwich, and get a little side order from the deli. We ended up with extra food we had to store in our portable cooler, and a bigger bill than expected for a quick food stop because we over ordered. This is a unique grocery store in a rural area with a lot of historic charm. Worth a visit!

How have I never been here? What a great little market deli. We stopped in to meet up with a friend grab a breakfast burrito. The best breakfast burrito I've had; hand cooked by the deli staff. While I was waiting I got to peruse the aisles filled with all sorts of eclectic items. So many great grocery items! There's also a great little patio that you can enjoy your meal. I just loved the vibe of this little community market.

A frequent stop every time we are in the area. Great sandwiches and salads and selection of unique and delicious grocery items. Service is great, fairly quick once ordered. Not the best eating areas and bathrooms but otherwise great place!

This is a review of the deli. Ordered a turkey sandwich. Three guys working behind the counter and only 1 order ahead of us and it still took 15 minutes to make the sandwich the staff seemed to be goofing around. Took the sandwich to go. Opened it half an hour down the road and it did not have turkey in it. Just lettuce and cheese. I had paid for a turkey sandwich and the outside was labeled turkey sandwich, they just seem to have forgotten to put turkey in it.

Stopped for sandwhiches and got the Turkey and the hot chicken sandwich both excellent! Lots of other goodies to buy too if you prefer to have snacks for a picnic instead of a sandwich. Would definitely recommend
