Awesome deli with huge sandwiches with great composition and quality ingredients! The service is quick and high-energy. The place is not super relaxing as it is next to a busy road, but as a great pick up lunch and or quick pit stop, it is an amazing place! A solid choice for any sandwich lover while on State Street, and great to order takeout when on lunch break from work!

We went to South Coast Deli in Santa Barbara after one of our buddies told us that this was like his family’s go-to spot every single time they came up here. He said it’s a must every trip. He and his mom apparently have been coming here for years, and funny enough, they don’t even get sandwiches. He said what they always get, and what they’ve always been known for, is their Cobb salad. So of course, I had to see what the hype was about.
We had a little group with us, my wife and two other couples, and all of us decided to go for it and order the Cobb salad. I’m not even exaggerating when I say I was blown away by how big the bowl was when it came out. I was expecting a smaller salad plate or something basic, but this thing came out looking like a full-on meal for two. Huge, loaded, and just absolutely stacked with everything. The bacon bits, the blue cheese, the eggs, the dressing, all of it came together perfectly. The flavor was incredible, and every bite just worked. You could tell they use quality ingredients, and the balance of everything was just right. I’m normally not even a big Cobb salad guy, but this one completely changed my mind. I would one hundred percent go back just for that.
Now, I did also get my usual Caesar with chicken, because that’s my go-to whenever we go anywhere that has it. And again, really impressed. The chicken was cooked perfectly, the portion was big, and the dressing was actually great. It wasn’t too strong or too fishy like some Caesars can be. It had more of a tangy, lemony flavor with that thicker yolky texture that I really like. I ended up finishing the entire bowl, which never happens with salads for me.
Overall, I was really surprised by how good everything was here. It definitely lived up to what our buddy told us, and I can totally see why it’s a local favorite. Between the portions, the flavor, and just the overall quality, it’s easily one of my new favorite deli spots in Santa Barbara. So yeah, highly, highly recommend if you’re in town. Especially if you’re not normally a salad person, trust me, this one might change that for you.

During our West Coast trip in May 2024, we stumbled upon South Coast Deli in Santa Barbara by accident and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our culinary adventures!
This little spot was super cute, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere that instantly made us feel welcome. The food? Absolutely delicious! We tried the BBQ chicken sandwich and it was a pure perfection! My man fell in love with it (I would say even close to as he did with me)
If you’re ever in Santa Barbara, this is a must-visit place. We definitely recommend it, especially for sandwich lovers. A hidden gem we’re so happy we discovered!

I always know the order I place is going to be ready for pickup in a reasonable amount of time and taste FANTASTIC! Even when I order blind and try a sandwich or salad for the first time South Coast never disappoints. Great vibes, Great food, Great locations!

A little side street eatery with huge, delicious made-to-order sandwiches and salads. Quick, easy ordering and service, reasonably priced, and they even have good coffee. I ordered the breakfast Max sandwich with onions, and although it was so good I wanted to keep eating, it was big enough to save some for lunch. It’s pretty busy on the weekends, but probably the best deal on State St.

I’ve been ordering lunchtime salads, and occasionally sandwiches, from South Coast for 25 years and the cost, quality and level of service has been consistently outstanding for that entire period.

It’s my first time coming here and all I can say is that it’s already one of my favorite places to go. I got the Buffalo Chicken Sammie and it was so delicious, i paid $15 for the sandwich and a drink so it’s definitely affordable for students like me!
The cashier was so nice and helpful and the place seemed like a chill place to be around, it definitely does gets busy around 11-12, but other than that the food is really good and the place seems nice! Definitely recommend coming here!

Super quick and yummy food – decent amount of seating in the back. The taste aspect of my Cajun turkey sandwich was chefs kiss but functionality wise, it was soggy and falling apart. Great place overall

These brownies need their very own review because they are so magical! The perfect mix of chocolate & nuts and only $2.50! The only downside is you can’t order them online so you have to go to inside. I’ll get down anytime for these tasty treats!!!
