Eli's Island Deli

Super fresh sandwhiches and wraps. Fast and affordable. Best deal on the island!

Great customer service from the cashiers, guy in the back not so much

The Turkey Sub is absolutely delicious!!! My daughter loved the veggie wrap:)

Cute little souvenir shop that also serves food. We picked up a few items as soon as we got off the ferry because it’s very close. Postcards and all kinds of knickknacks to commemorate the time you spend on the island. Located right beside the restrooms and information counters, you can’t miss it.

If you get a sandwich, I suggest you get the tuna sandwich. I got mine on wheat bread and comes with lettuce and tomato. I requested pickles and relish too. Delicious. I think they might be using Claussen pickles because everything tasted so fresh and the pickles were very crispy. I requested sandwich without cheese and with no mayo, because I feel like the tuna already is mixed with mayo and the cheese would just distract from the tuna. The staff behind the counter are very kind and readily give great recommendations. I had asked about the turkey sandwich, and I sent that I was trying to decide between turkey and tuna, and they immediately said go for the tuna. I’m very glad that I did, because the turkey is not smoked turkey I only really like smoked turkey in a sandwich

First time visit to Catalina Island, right off the boat my girlfriend and I saw this deli, we decided to give a shot and we loved it. She got the tuna sandwich and I got a chili cheese dog and they were both delicious, good portions, good value, and good service. We will be eating from here again before our boat leaves!

Surprisingly loved our sandwiches we grabbed to eat while waiting to board boat back to mainland. Good options to choose from menu.

Small little convenience store in the wharf of the ferry..: has the usual supplies … a little expensive

Quick and easy, get some food for the return boat ride.

The people who worked there were nice. The food on the other hand no thanks. Chicken quesadilla to to be exact. Was not what you’d expect it was microwaves cooked. See photo

Saw this spot on the map and thought we would grab a sandwich before the ferry. Interestingly the kitchen is closed from 12:30-1pm on a Sunday. Seems like a prime time to make money during the lunch rush but no luck here.

They ripped me off and they'll rip you off. I bought a pair of sunglasses here. The next day, I noticed that the frame was sliding off of the lens - one of the screws was missing. An easy fix, right? So I went back... and they refused to fix it, refund me, or do an exchange, claiming "I could have done something to it after I bought it." I later took it to an eyeglass shop. They looked at it... and showed me that the reason that there was no screw is because there was NO HOLE DRILLED ALL THE WAY THROUGH for a screw to go through. So, literally impossible for me to have "done something to it" - it never had a screw in the first place. I learned a valuable lesson: NEVER buy sunglasses (or anything, really) from an island location that you can't easily get back to. They were well aware that I would almost certainly never be back, so they knew they could get away with taking my money and not selling me what I thought I was buying. Catalina is a lovely island with lovely shops - this isn't one of them. You can go literally anywhere else, less than a hundred feet away, and get the exact same thing for less, and from a more honest merchant.

I went into this cute little deli and thought I’d get something off the menu because it’s a food establishment. I went to order and the rude man behind the counter told me “the kitchen is closed” at 10:30 in the morning??? I seen him literally just make something for someone else and he made me feel not welcome. In any industry you want to feel welcome, and this was not the case for this place. The man was rude and an experience like that is unacceptable.

We bought a sweatshirt and it fell apart the first day. They would not exchange it for a replacement. Horrible service! they told is to come back when the manager came back but he was never there and then yelled at us and said we were lying even though we had a receipt.

They gave me a cold corn dog and a soggy 8 dollar hot dog that was unedible. When I told them the corn dog was cold they said "everything is microwaved". When I showed them the soggy hot dog bun they said "it's supposed to be soggy" and there's nothing they can do.
