Boney's Bayside Market is a wonderful local business that offers a tremendous selection of high quality food at reasonable prices!

It's not hard to find healthy food to eat in Southern California - we're lucky in that regard. Prices, on the other hand....tend to be extreme, especially in an area like Coronado. Boney's, however, looks to buck the trend of overpriced sustenance.

As many other reviewers have noted, the combination of fantastic food and great prices at the deli in particular is unbeatable. Every ingredient is top notch, from the locally baked focaccia to the Boar's Head meats and cheeses. I almost hesitate to write about the prices because I don't want the secret getting out....but my favorite sandwich is only $5.95 - and it comes with avocado!! And these puppies are huge...it's unbelievable. It does get very busy around lunch time though, so order ahead or visit during off-peak hours. The soups and smoothies are also wonderful, though the sandwiches are the true treasure if you ask me.

The store also has a small but super reliable selection of raw meats and fish, super reliable produce and an extensive selection of specialty foods and supplements. Kind of like a Trade Joe's.

In short - my recommendation is to go for the deli, and knock out some basic shopping while you wait for your treasure.
