Grapes & Hops Deli

I got the California Thanksgiving sandwich on Sourdough. The turkey was super fresh, there’s just enough cranberry to give it a little sweetness, toasted gave it a nice crunch. The avocado was fresh. The sourdough bread was delicious. It all melded together nicely for a consistently delicious bite, all the way through the entire sandwich eating experience. It was cut hamburger style rather than diagonal, which was also a nice change-up. It paired nicely with the adaptogen Yerba mate that I also purchased. It also came very nicely wrapped which provided ample protection between my sandwich and the table once I unwrapped it to eat. Finally, I’d like to mention the incredible customer service and the fact that I really love the guys working there. It was a delightful experience.

This is the best liquor store and deli in downtown! The sandwiches are made fresh to order with great inredients. My husband loves the California Thanksgiving. As a vegetarian, I love the On the Mark, toasted on jalapeño cheddar bread. My niece asked me to bring her an Italian Club sandwich all the way up to North County (they'rethat yummy). The liquor store has a huge selection, and if there is anything they don't carry, Joe will get it for you. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. No need to go anywhere else.

This is my favorite deli in San Diego for two reasons: The Honey Bee and Gaslamp Elite are the two best sandwiches in the city and no place has a friendlier staff. I could end my review right there, but everyone should know about how Grapes & Hops helped San Diego Pride in its first year back after the pandemic. Due to employees calling out sick, a vendor who was supposed to provide lunch for the volunteers pulled out at the last minute. I called Joe, the owner, to see if Grapes and Hops could fill an order for 400 sandwiches with just a couple days' notice. He enthusiastically jumped in, provided the excellent customer service he always does and saved the day. I'm a big fan of supporting local businesses who support their community right back. Joe and his team are awesome!

It looks like just an ordinary liquor store if you pass by, but if that's what you do, pass by, you'll have missed downtown's best sandwich shop. You may note the Boar's Head logo signifying quality meats are used. That's just the beginning. The big assortment of freshly baked breads (try the rosemary roll) makes an even bigger difference. The salads are bomb too. All this comes with neighborly customer service, and a wine and premium liquor selection that will delight the most discriminating connoisseurs. So glad I found this place!

If I could give this place a thousand stars I would! We have been looking for crown imperial cherry for well over a year and another evening it came up within an add-in my social networking page beneath grapes and jumps deli. I was ecstatic to have the ability to place an order on the web! They will certainly get my business in the long run!

I was so ecstatic to be able to place an order online! They'll definitely get my business in the future!
