SLO Fresh Market
Cute little grocery store with a fabulous hidden deli.
You have to know San Luis Obispo to head over to Laurel Lane but those who do love SLO Fresh Market. The deli in the back serves up amazing sandwiches every day featuring Boars Head Meats.
The Digs:
SLO Fresh Market
1285 Laurel Lane
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
The Scoop:
It’s a small town local grocery store at its finest. It’s not fancy at all but has some of everything. Its prize jewel is the deli in the back. Staff is extremely friendly every time I have been and its quickly becoming a favorite stop for lunch.
What Rocks:
The Boars Head Meats are great and they have some fun varieties. Great smoked turkey breast and a fantastic parmesan ham. Get it with the Gruyere cheese. I promise you will not be disappointed. You can also sit outside at the tables if you choose or take it to go. It’s a really cute place.
What Sucks:
There is nothing fancy about this place but the best places are like this. Prices may be slightly high for a sandwich but it’s so good you won’t complain about it much.
The Moolah:
A sandwich and a drink will set you back about $8-9. Not outrageous but on the high end. Plenty of drink and snack selections since it’s a full grocery store.
This place is right up the road from where I live. I go there regularly. Some of the staff even know me by name! The deli sandwiches are great, and the soups are pretty good, too. My wife also enjoys the pre-made egg salad sandwiches in the deli cooler.
Great staff. The sandwiches are the best in town, in my opinion. I don’t think $6.50 is on the high end for a foot-long. Try to find another place that will give you a pickle spear on the side. Pesto parmesan ham + baby swiss is my favorite.
