Summary: Pretty solid sandwiches for about $10. Lots of salads, snacks, drinks, etc. Inside is pretty chaotic, so make your way to the Order Here sign first (further away from entrance), then get in line at one of the two checkout spots and pay for your food while its being prepared. After that, wait for your number to be called, then make your way to a table (there are some in the back left of the restaurant behind everything that are much cooler than the outside area on hot days and were completely empty when we came). My wife and her parents came here for lunch on a toasty Saturday afternoon while doing some wine tasting in the area. Parking was pretty limited in the lots, so we got a spot along the road right in front. The place was buzzing with people outside, and inside was even crazier. It was hard to identify where the various lines started to place orders and pay for items. Eventually we found the correct line, quickly checked out the menu and placed our orders. We then paid for our items and waited for their assembly to complete. It was about 10 minutes from order to pickup, so the staff work very fast despite the number of orders that were coming in and the wall of sound that must have constantly made it difficult to communicate. My wife and I got a Tuscan turkey sandwich and a pulled pork panini. The pulled pork was definitely the preferred sandwich of the two. It was pressed well, making it nice and toasty, but not overly crispy or dry. The pork was very tender, and the mayo or spread that was used help keep everything juicy and very tasty. Great textures and flavors all around. The Tuscan turkey was a little too charred, unfortunately, which left the sandwich much harder to eat and much drier. Fortunately, my mother-in-law got a turkey and provolone sandwich on normal soft bread that proved to be much better and easier to eat, and she shared half of that with us, so we had plenty to eat and only spent about $20 per couple. Overall, a pretty solid lunch option for not too much money if you are in a hurry.

We tried to dine here while visiting some wineries around the area but when we went to order they didnt have over half the breads, and meats they had on the menus. Im not sure if they were expecting a shipment soon or not as they didnt specify but to not have half the things on your menu and specials board is unacceptable. My wife, mother in law and myself decided to leave. I just dont understand how they didnt find it necessary to take down theyre specials board with 4 items on it if they do not have the necessary items to make 3 of them. I think it could have been a good place if they would have had what they needed, unfortunately they did not. Better luck next time I guess.

Pretty expensive and liquor license is gone for now, but a fabulously fancy selection of snacks and paninis. They have a nice little selection of cheeses and crackers, alongside olives, handmade and seasoned chips and chocolate and other upscale and expensive snacks that are quite delicious, but dont think there will be any wine to be had with those fabulous treats. It seems they are working on getting the license back, but for now, you cant even bring in wine from one of the million neighboring wineries and drink it on the premises. All told we spent over $60 on snacks, water and one panini, so be prepared to drop some dollars.

Came by on a Monday afternoon while on holidays, not as packed as the weekend with crowds. Still enough people to make the wait to order and pay for food longer than expected. Pre-made sandwiches were the equal of off the board build-your-own sandwiches. The pulled pork was a particular delight. The wines on offer by the bottle, near the bar internal entrance, was a highlight. Parking at a premium, but plenty available by the side of the road.

This is a great place to get sandwiches for a picnic at a winery. or to eat at the tables outside the store. Sandwiches have the gourmet appeal ($8-10) to wine tasters plus the basic sandwiches work for the local workers ($6). Either way, I;ve been coming to this store since the mid-1970s. I love the fresh sourdough rolls. This also serves as a local watering hole after hours.

The cashier mistook me as a drunk tourist. I had $90 worth of groceries that she rang up. She asked me if I wanted a bag for 10 cents. I said yes. When I checked the itemized list of charges I saw that she charged me $9.90 for the paper bag. When I politely inquired about the charge she immediately became defensive, and literally threw the corrected receipt at me.

If you are visiting Sonoma or just driving thru I advise you stop and eat here. Absolutely freakin rediculous sandwiches. Very friendly staff. Stopped here after a vinyard recommended it for a bite to eat during our wine tasting trip. I am very grateful I did. The sandwiches blew me away. They have all kinds of snacks to take on your trip.

always busy !!! so call in your lunch order 1 hour prior. Expect to spend at least 15 min then 45 min if you dont call ahead. You can eat lunch there and have a cold one. The bar next door is fun and have great local beers on tap. All the food at the deli are great!!! Love the deviled eggs too.

Went winery hopping on our bikes in beautiful Healdsburg Sonoma. This store and Deli is located right next to the Dry Creek Winery. Grab yourself a sandwich ( I got a BLT with Avocado-Yummy!) and sit outside on their picnic tables with a view of the winery!

Great place for a quick bite to eat and close to plenty of the local vineyards and cellar doors. We had the Reuben and BLTA sandwiches. Yum!!! Also picked up a couple of soft cheeses to enjoy later. Will be a 6 star road stop when liquor licence is sorted

Charming, old-school store (literally, from the 1880s) in the heart of Dry Creek valley. Pick up sandwiches here for lunch in between tastings at the local wineries. Can get crowded during peak times. Great merchandise selection too, nicely curated.

Although its the only game in town around Dry Creek winery area, the sandwiches are actually really good. So are everything else, including prepared salads and cookies. You should be prepared for winery prices as well.

Love their prosciutto and cheese baguette and their beet salad. On the pricier side but come on, youre in the middle of wine country! Service is was too slow (25 minutes to put 2 sandwiches in the panini press).

Woah...heaven forbid if you want something without the mayo or aioli on it! Also, bring your inhaler...the long, smoky wait is dangerous for all those asthmatics out there. Coffee is delicious though...

Great place to get picnic food. Always busy but seem to serve in a timely manner. Not fast food. All crafted sandwiches, salads etc. Great old front porch to sit, eat and watch the grapes grow.

Very nice place, everyone raved about the breakfast burrito, which was good, but lacked flavor. The breakfast croissant was good. Good place to start your day for wine tasting in sonoma.
