The best sandwich shop on the Central Coast! Sandwiches are huge and fresh, salads are amazing, doobie bars are a great dessert. High Street is popular, so prepare to wait a bit if you go during busy times. Patio is so nice to sit an enjoy the food. You can call ahead and order. We love to stop here after a hike up Cerro San Luis, Bishop's Peak or Johnson Ranch.

Nice vineyard and tasting room that is about a five minute drive from our home. They have lots of outdoor tables with a view of the vineyard. Inside they have a gift shop with cute items, some that are local. Our favorite is their Pinot, which is much more smooth and has much more flavor than some Pinots.
