Sabrina Cafe & Deli

For a small deli in the heart of downtown, its pretty good. The prices are what keep me coming back and the distance between there and the office. $ 6 – 7 for a sandwich, when the local competition are well into the $ 13 –14 range. Super fast service too. When I call in more order, the lady says 5 mins and means it.

I love this place because it’s easy, fast & delicious. Their bacon & potato breakfast burritos are amazing and you can tell it’s a family business. The owner genuinely cares and always makes it a point to say hi and ask about your day :) this is my favorite breakfast place to eat at before work!

Horrible place. Told them specifically NOT to put in cheese in a breakfast burrito. As I have a health issue and CANNOT have dairy products. Told the cashier 5 TIMES, NO CHEESE and NO DAIRY. As I was eating back at my office, what do I find in it? CHEESE. Went back to show them there was cheese in my order, and they just shrugged and said nothing.
DON’T EAT HERE!

The prices have gone up so much while the quality has gone down equally! I ordered a Gyro plate today and got pure salad and bread! WTH!
I also tried their breakfast combos a couple of time and it was the same thing. Lower quality and higher priced.
Their lunch plates will be over $ 11 while breakfast will be around $ 5 – 8
This place used to be better and their prices were once reasonable. I would skip this place now. There are other places within walking distance that have much better quality for similar prices.
The only good thing about this place is the location and speed. They’re right by a bunch of large office buildings and the trolley station. They also prepare your food relatively quickly.

Great family owned and operated lunch spot. Good food, good people.

A big menu for a small place. I’ve had the gyros plate before which I enjoyed very much but today I had a pastrami sandwich on rye, prepared according to the recommendation of the proprietor: mustard only. It was delicious. The bread was warm and fresh and the pastrami was rare and perfect. The owner was friendly and welcoming and you can tell he takes pride in his business. Overall, a great experience.

This was our first time here. I think the review’s about bland and meh are pretty right on, and maybe kind. To start with, several had gyros. Now I don’t know what the other reviewers experiences with gyro’s are, but these are the pre-​portioned, frozen, packaged strips. They are not from a whole «loaf» of meat, sliced to order. They were dry, cardboard like and stiff… Yuk! The Philly sandwich had a nice bun, but I couldn’t find much meat in it… There was some, but not much to brag about. On the other hand the club sandwich was good, good portions, and tasty.
I doubt we’d be back if we lived around there.

This place is near my work, I’ve gone here off and on for many years. There really is nothing that stands out. Service is hot or miss. Food is consist, but consistently meh. Got a breakfast burrito… had them in the past. Now remember why I don’t go here often. One of the most blah breakfast burritos ever… nothing wrong with it per se, but totally lacking in flavor and left me totally unsatisfied. All kinds of ingredients to help with the taste factor, nothing. Lots of other places around to hit up for better meals.

Nice place to grab a sandwich for lunch.

It’s a deli downtown. The staff aren’t super friendly, but they get their work done and keep the hungry patrons happy. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Near to the court house if you draw the short-​straw for jury duty.

I work near this place and come in for lunch a couple days per week. They have a couple different vegetarian choices and always get the food out quickly (never a long line to order either). I’d definitely recommend this place if you are looking for an affordable lunch downtown!

I went for lunch today, for the first time. The guy at the counter suggested the turkey sandwich with avocado on sourdough. The sandwich was okay quality, I wouldn’t say it stood out.
That gyro plate my coworker ordered looked far better.
If I go back, I’ll try gyro plate and update my review.

Sabrina’s is delicious and the service is great! Very friendly staff. My office is right down the street and I often go in for their veggie sandwich. I would definitely recommend eating here.

Great café in Downtown San Diego. Offers a good selection of different foods and beats most of the other lunch offerings around the donwown business area. Classics are the meditteranean influenced dishes, along with good sandwiches and a friendly family feel. Keep up the good work.

I’m pretty happy with Sabrina’s.
I usually get the Gyro, but I’ve also had the New York Pastrami. They have not let me down – both are quite a bit of great food for the price. They’re quick and everyone who has taken my order has been courteous and personable.

Just got a «double espresso» and left all 8 ounces of it on the table. Double espresso is supposed to be served 1.2 to 2 ounces in a small cup with some crème on top. This was 8 ounces and burnt from too high brewing temp and letting it run too long, like a bad americano. I’m very flexible with espresso but please, Don’t serve it if you don’t know how. 2.50 gone!

Sandwiches are always good at Sabrina’s and the gyro sandwich is no exception. I like their chicken Caesar a lot too. The best thing on their menu has to be the breakfast burrito though. It is the best hangover cure I know of and inexpensive to boot! Everyone is always friendly in this teeny deli and I know the food will always be fresh and good.

Love this place. Inexpensive and fast, with good quality food.
Tuesday’s special (Grilled Salmon) is awesome. A lot of food for under $ 10.
I’m a satisfied repeat customer.

Rude. Not worth it. Bland food.
I’m surprised this place is still in business. I guess it’s because there aren’t a ton of other lunch options right nearby.
They get orders wrong ALL THE TIME. I think it’s because of the language barrier. It’s happened to my coworkers as well.
They might think it’s charming, but the family who owns this place is just plain rude. Not just to me. I’ve seen them ridicule people if they don’t order enough food (and those people have promptly left).
It took them 12 minutes (I timed it) to make a chicken salad sandwich a few weeks ago, and there was only two other people inside at the time.
I’ve had a few different types of sandwiches for lunch here, and every time I tell myself I won’t go back again. Then I give it another chance, mostly because of the small number of options nearby. They do not put nearly enough meat on the cold-​cut sandwiches. The bread is usually hard as a rock or stale.

Cute greek order at the counter, deliver to your table type of place.
Friendly staff, good daily specials.
I got take out and the staff was very friendly, the food was tasty and the value was pretty good as well!
The walls are typical greek décor, bout 6 tables for eating in
