peasants DELI & ARCADE - Solvang, California

If you haven’t tried this place, you need to! The most scrumptious freshly baked bread (in house) for the most delicious sandwiches. My husband had the Godfather and I had the Brady and we were both in heaven. Their baked Dutch bread is to die for! I had to order a few rolls to take home. You won’t regret this gem of a restaurant. Bonus is the fantastic arcade connected to the deli with games like vintage TMNT and pinball machines. Will definitely be frequenting this place. Yum!

I stopped here and got an amazing pastrami sandwich. Ingredients were great and delicious, I highly recommend.

I've already shared this on Yelp, but I'll share here again too.

These are perhaps some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I can't even begin to describe the flavors, but the combination of ingredients in the sandwiches were perfect. My friends and I shared "The Godfather" and also "Chopped Italian Sandwich", and we were thoroughly impressed.

The deli is a small spot with some limited seating in the shop, but there is an additional arcade area where there is more seating available.

I believe Sarah, one of the owners, may have been the person who helped us with our orders. The day we came in, it was raining hard, so being in this shop was a pleasant surprise with its cozy décor and comforting space to take a break from the weather. The place also has a very clean restroom, which is always something I appreciate.

I wish I could take home sandwiches as souvenirs for loved ones.

Some of the finest sandwiches I've ever had the privilege to eat. And the tuna sandwich in particular is a truly unique and special treat that is not to be missed (made with boquerones!). Almost everything is made in house or is of the highest quality. I had the pleasure of being rung up by the head chef who was so relaxed and great to talk with. I can't wait to return to Solvang to come back here and to try the sister restaurant Peasant's Feast!

Very delicious deli sandwich. It’s a good size sandwich that you can share if you are not too hungry. Fast service and the price is reasonable. Highly recommend it.

Two part review:

1st.) ordered the Kobe roast beef sandwich. Generally it was amazing. All of the ingredients complement each other well. The star of the show is the Kobe beef. It was Smokey and all of flavors balance out the sandwich. Horseradish hit/creamy ness from the aioli, the nutty ness from the cheese, and a good crunch from the bread. We swapped for lettuce but the arugula would provide a good bite of bitterness for the sandwich.

2.) I split the sandwich with my Fiance, my sandwich was great but unfortunately hers had a hair in it. I alerted the manager and she was courteous with addressing the issue. Offered a refund. Staff was kind and quick for recovery.

Mushroom sandwich was bomb. The godfather sandwich was good but the mushroom was better. Mushroom sandwich all the way.

We were waiting for our table at Peasants Feast when we walked across to street to look into the Peasants Deli. We quickly changed our minds and decided on the deli, over the sit-down restaurant. What a great decision. Even tho we had several people in our group we were able to find seating on the indoor and outdoor tables. Between us, we order just about all the sandwich options available. And we can confidently say we made the right choice with the deli over the Feast restaurant. I got the hot pastrami sandwich which was so good. One drawback, I should have asked for melted cheese as that is my preference for hot pastrami sandwiches. And the lady behind the counter taking our order was awesome. Even tho it was busy, she was quick and accurate to take care of all of our special orders and helping with other needs. Even getting a cup of ice from next door for me. We will definitely be going back to Peasants Deli the next time we are in town.
