Seabright Deli — Restaurant in Santa Cruz

Happy to say that I finally tried Seabright Deli! In general, I was very impressed: the facility is clean and inviting, with tasteful, understated design elements. They have parking in back or on street. The service was very nice despite the fact that I was about the last customer for the day.

The food was excellent: The roast chicken sandwich was flavorful and delicious! It comes with a small side - either potato or macaroni salad, which I chose. It was made fresh using conchiglie shaped pasta (best guess, basically shells) and was very tasty.

I really wanted to give 5 stars but had two minor hiccups. First, they had run out of brisket, which I intended to have. This is also a good sign as it means it is prepared fresh each day I believe. But I was disappointed. Second, My to-go bag immediately ripped maybe 50 feet outside the restaurant door from the weight of one glass bottle of soda. I called to let them know, hoping they might offer to replace it as it was no fault of mine. But no such offer was forthcoming.

Hopefully, after future visits, I can change the four stores to five! They are well...

Everything about this place was great! My boyfriend had mentioned it popped up recently when we he was looking for good sandwich spots and he had totally forgotten about it until today when we were looking for them again. And I’m SO glad he remembered! I have no idea, having been to Santa Cruz an umpteen number of times, how we never knew this pace existed but we will absolutely be back! I got The Neptune and he got The Yacht Club and easily both were two of the best sandwiches we’ve had! The meat wasn’t lacking, the fresh produce was actually fresh (some of the freshest basil I’ve ever had on mine), all the spreads (check the menu for the different kinds) were delicious, and you can never go wrong with cheese! But what we also loved was the bread (Francese roll), it was crunchy on the outside and ridiculously soft on the outside so it perfectly held the sandwich together but wasn’t too hard to eat! I know I’ll dream about these sandwiches and can’t...

If you are into gourmet sandwiches, this is a must try. These guys have some pretty original and delicious options. You will be able to sniff the goodness as soon as you walk through the door. They will grab you by the nose and there’s no turning back.

I always like when you can see people working on your food. Specially when you can see how clean and organized everything is. So kudos for that too. And service was good and staff super friendly.

I had the heart of the bay tuna and hubby had the Seabright (pastrami). Both sandwiches were really good. And we saw them preparing everything, all fresh stuff.

First I thought prices were a bit steep but after seeing ingredients and the type of sandwiches they make I made piece with it. It is a gourmet sandwich.

And in case you are on a lunch budget, just get someone to share one with you. Sandwiches are pretty filling so you will definitely be...
