C's Ice Cream & Deli

I'm mind blown to find out I never wrote a review for my favorite sandwich shop of all times!I originally found out about C's Ice Cream and Deli from my friend's dad back in 1999 and instantly fell in love with the small sandwich shop! Honestly, it was really the root beer selection that drew me in since Sasparilla/ Root Beer is my favorite beverage of all times! Out of 150 variants of root beer, cream soda, ginger ale, and everything else in between, 80% of my first time tries has come from C's. My favorite root beer is Sparky's (be very careful, this root beer has such a bite, you won't taste anything afterwards)...sounds to strong and want something smooth and creamy then try Virgil's!Don't like root beer, no problem...I also love their sandwiches. My top 3 Sandwiches are: Roast Beef Artichoke, Chicken Cordon Bleu and Pepperoni Roaster! But honestly, you just gotta make it down the list of all sandwiches. I suggest getting everything included, tomato, lettuce, oil and & vinegar with a pickle spear on the side.C's Deli is family owned and ran by a husband and wife team (Todd & Anastasia) and throughout the many years their kids helped in the shop as well and I had the pleasure to watch them all grow up to be fine adults! C's is a small shop tucked in a very small strip mall on the end of Mira Mesa Blvd. They have been there since 1989 and have made it through numerous ups and down (stock market crashes and even a pandemic) I've been going to C's Deli since my senior year in high school (1999) and sometimes daily during my college days (1999-2002) at Miramar College. I love how they greet their regulars (like myself) by name and I truly have grown to consider Todd, Anastasia and the kids.... FAMILY!My only con is since my wife and I live in fallbrook, I don't get the opportunity to go to the deli as often as I would like! But since my parents both still live in Mira Mesa, it makes for a great excuse to visit C's Deli! Today's order:.Roast Beef Artichoke (Everything included).Chicken Muffaletta (Everything included).Maui Onion Chips and Crack Pepper Sea Salt Chips.Oak Creek Blonde Barrel Aged Root BeerIf you go in, please say hello to Todd and Anastasia and maybe try one of my favorites!

It's a nondescript deli in a sort of odd location that you can't really see from the street; this is how you know it's gonna be good.C's is a no frills, straight up, consistent deli. The menu is large and agile - they'll customize however you want. Ingredients are fresh, toppings are plentiful and options are limitless. One of my fav aspects is that any sandwich can be made into a wrap. My personal go-to is the roast beef and artichoke but really, you can't go wrong.Service is friendly and fast, prices are reasonable and quality is second to none.

This place is a hidden gem in my opinion. I found it through a friend of mine: She spoke highly about this joint, so I definitely had to try it. It is family owned, so you know the food is going to be really good. And the prices are amazingly affordable! I went here yesterday 15 minutes before they were about to close. I was greeted by a really nice lady who took my order and made my sandwiches with love. Here is a list of what I ordered and here are the ratings my family gave the sandwiches: The Californian 5/5The C's Club on Rye Bread 4.9/5Chicken Cordon Blue 5/5The Chicken Club 6/5 (This made me laugh!) Overall, I will be back because I need to try the rest of their sandwiches they have on their menu!

It's been a long time since I've been here, but whenever I think of having a deli sandwich, I always think of this place. The owners are amazing people that always had a smile on their faces. I really miss the ultimate BLT and the roast beef artichoke sandwiches

I did the pastrami and it was delicious. Girlfriend did the big Jim and she said it was amazing. A little mom and pop sandwich shop making really good food. Give it a shot, it won't disappoint

My favorite sandwich in town! Todd and his wife are always super friendly and the sandwiches taste homemade, fresh and delicious! My favorites are the Chicken caesar sandwich, Blue Ox and the Chicken Club, but they're all good. Great cookies, ice cream, and a big chip and root beer selection as well. Can't go wrong here, but don't tell too many people, it's a hidden gem!

Came to a drs appointment a little early so stop in this deli the owners are amazing they made my food the way I asked for it my coffee is to die for the deli is really clean the owners are friendly the music is nice recommend 12/10

Sandwich was good. I got the chicken muffuletta. Service was friendly. Sandwiches are made to order and it was ready pretty quick. Small seating area inside. I would have sat outside, but the two plastic tables and the plastic chairs all looked pretty worn down -- as in, I was not willing to sit at them. It's not like the inside is equivalent to visiting a Four Seasons, but I at least didn't have any reservations about sitting down.

Colleagues and I ordered 9 sandwiches from this great place that was recommended. They said the owners are always onsite and are very friendly. We got the 3 Great Pastrami, 2 Italian, 1 Big Jim, 1 Veggie Delight, and 2 Reuben Sandwiches. Each sandwich was so delicious! We all agreed that the quality is top notch. You can even taste the love that goes in to making of each sandwich. The bread was super tasty. We were so hungry I didn't get a chance to take a picture of any of them! So you just need to try it and see for yourself!Next time I need to try the rootbeer!

Thank you Anastasia and Todd! The Great Pastrami sandwich is too good to share. The dijon mustard is out of this world.I usually order a root beer float, but I'm trying to loose a few pounds...so I had to pass today - ugh. Todd is true root beer aficionado with more than 10 varieties to choose from.
