Deli restaurants in San Diego

  1. A

    Bread & Cie

    This clattery, chattery cafeteria-sized bakery-deli makes the best bread around (with flavors like lemon sage ciabatta, anise and fig, and carmelized onion), and carries a limited assortment of gourmet sandwiches. Plus, it's got the best idea I've heard in a while: customized panini. It's an excellent spot to eavesdrop on locals, especially in the mornings. And it's 'cie' pronounced 'sea'.

    Waters Cafe

    Here's a rarity: well-prepared, good value food at a museum cafe! Homemade soups and baguette sandwiches are some of the offerings at the elegant Waters Cafe, nestled in a courtyard overlooking the sculpture garden of the San Diego Museum of Art.

    Girard Gourmet

    Fresh, affordable no-nonsense quiches, soups and sandwiches, plus daily hot plate specials like salmon penne pasta. If you bring the kids, don't expect to escape without buying one of the huge clownfish cookies.
