Absolutely loved my visit to The Market Chef! I tried the Spicy Italian and the Summer Garden sandwiches—both were incredibly fresh and clearly made with high-quality, clean ingredients. The portions were generous for the price, and the overall vibe of the cafe is super cute, with some cozy seating options in both the front and back. My only wish is that they were open more than four days a week! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area—you won’t be disappointed.

A must go! My absolute fav spot to eat or take out for picnic. Food quality and service are top notch! They do such wonderful job. Store has finest curated items like spices, Italian pasta, sauces, etc. Patio dining is great! Check schedule. It would be great they would open seven days a week during summer.

The hours at the market chef are crazy, I’ve been trying to get one of these gorgeous sandwiches for the last 4 years! We visit San Juan twice a year and I’ve just never been in town on the right day or time. So happy I finally was able to try!
Super delicious sandwiches and salads, everything you want from an elevated deli situation.
I had the roast beef with rocket sandwich and it was gorgeous. Love the poppy seed bread and the olives are beautiful. Comes with a little pickle. I also got a little container of the quinoa salad and it was awesome. Adorable interior with good wine and snacks and little gifts.

Really enjoyed this restaurant! I loved the tuna sandwich and recommend upgrading to the tuna melt- it’s worth it 🙂 Staff is very friendly and helpful. Lovely to sit and eat with the view of the harbor. Stopped by for lunch here after arriving from the Anacortes ferry. Just a short 3-5 minute walk from the dock. Sandwiches are made from 11a-3p. This place is worth checking out!

Everyone in our group loved the food! We got the Deer Haze, Victory Garden, and kids grilled cheese. The customer service was probably the best on the island. Guy was super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place. The bread and fillings inside the sandwich was amazing. Definitely a different kind of sandwich but one I would go back to.

Delicious sandwich (Roast Beef and Rocket), lots of items suitable for gifts. But unfortunately they are closed 3 days/week. Happy they were open when we were downtown. We sat outside (a non-typical sunny day!).

We came here for lunch with friends that live on the island. There are many options for salads and sides, soups, and sandwiches. There is also an area offering local goods and products as well as interesting housewares for sale. I stocked up on some Christmas gifts while we waited for our sandwiches. The porch is a perfect spot to people watch and soak up the sun while we ate our lunch.
The food is high quality, fresh, healthy, and tasty from scratch with lots of varieties for everyone. Look for the special of the day and soup options.

We we’re pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and quality of the food!
This crowded place first looked like a nice deli with outdoor seating, but their food is really delicious, well prepared and made-to-order sandwiches.
Make sure to poke your head out into the garden for some quieter tables

The roast beef sandwich was AMAZING and bathrooms were nice and clean. The salmon chowder was not great and more of a chicken noodle soup with barely any salmon so that was pretty disappointing. But I would come back for the sandwiches for sure!!

Best crab cakes ever. The soup and Deli salads are also delicious and the service is terrific. Very cheerful bright and welcoming with outside dining as an option.
