Incredible!!! I got the cheese melt with turkey which was recommended by the wonderful owners Mrs. Jenny and Mr. Mike and it was incredible!! It was honestly the best sandwich I have ever had in my life. I also got a charcuterie board and the California cheese and turkey for my friends and they said it was the best cheese and sandwich they have ever had as well. 100000/10 recommend this spot!!!

Haven’t had an experience like this since my SF days. Artisanal, creative, delicious, cute, friendly vibes, all adjectives you will feel after coming to Smallgoods.

The sandwich was better than anything I’ve created in months and it’s not this 1000 item menu. It’s simple, straight to the point, and highlights the best they have to offer. But they also have charcuterie trays, they cater and they have tons of cured meats and cheese you won’t find in the a Whole Foods or Sprouts. And the owner is super friendly and helpful with anything you need to know or maybe even don’t know. Yes, my new lunch spot when working out of LJ.

This place is a gem. My wife and I absolutely loved our sandwiches. It has a cute vibe that is very inviting. They are very helpful if you arent sure what you want. They have won a lot of awards for their food and service and it is well deserved.

Update: right after I left this review the owner came by and gave us some free cheese, including one that is no longer being made. You can tell they take pride in what they do. Can't say enough good things about this place.

Today is my 2nd day in a row ordering a turkey sandwich. Absolutely unbelievable quality and taste. I am a self-proclaimed sandwich aficionado and I am rarely impressed by any old sandwich. This place is incomparable to any other sandwich place in San Diego. They definitely know what they’re doing!

One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had!! Loved the little side of cheese and meats, too.

We were just walking by and decided to go in--great decision! The sandwiches were perhaps the BEST we'd ever had. All the ingredients--cheese, meat, and vegetables--were high quality and in perfect balance. All the sandwiches also came with a little delicious cube of cheese on the side (my friends and I were seriously discussing driving a couple hours from where we live to go to this creamery). We asked the owners about it and got into a discussion about the cheese--they were really sweet and very passionate! The place is cute and in a nice location, and we enjoyed reading the cheese guides while waiting for our food. We will definitely be returning whenever we come back to San Diego!

Small foods created a beautiful platter for my daughter’s graduation. As the event was early the next day up in LA, Mike worked with us to choose items that would last overnight and travel well. It was the perfect offering for a mid afternoon reception. It gave the party an elegant but festive feel. Even with several, diverse dietary restrictions and personal tastes, everyone enjoyed it. Thank you!!
