High Street Deli

By Trevor Baumgardner

Astaple for Cal Poly students and residents of San Luis Obispo, High Street Deli, is arguably the best sandwich joint you can find along the Central Coast. Widely known for its fresh ingredients and laid-back atmosphere, the venue is a must-visit for anyone looking to grab a bite to eat in San Luis Obispo.

High Street Deli has two locations: one in Los Osos and the other, nearest to Cal Poly’s campus, on High Street. Originally created based on the street name, the High Street store is their primary location.

Following their laid back theme, a lot of their branding and merchandising is 420 friendly. Their outdoor seating area is also decorated with old, rustic street signs and other decor to give the place an easy-going feel. Additionally, every day after 4:20 p.m., customers can order their sandwiches at a discounted price. For Cal Poly and Cuesta students, this discount is applied all day, every Tuesday.

There are over a dozen signature sandwiches to choose from with both hot and cold options available. The sandwiches are made to order, packed with fresh produce and a sizable amount of meat in them. Sandwiches can also be ordered in the “Make It Stoney!” fashion, where the customer picks extra ingredients to add to the sandwich.

High Street Deli is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
