The Local

"I love this spot, each time I go it is consistently delicious. It is evident that a lot of intention and care goes into the menu, quality, and service. A+ in my book, and I rarely am down to pay $15+ for a sando. Some may find that pricey but THESE ARE GOURMET STATUS AND VERY MUCH WORTH IT. Pictured top to bottom: Bahn Mi (inspired) and the Point Reyes. Tbh this is my second review because I just appreciate this spot and want to see it succeed and stay open. Also the owner is very kind and courteous and deserves it. If I get a membership at the gym it is located within, it will be in part due to The Local :)"

"The Local truly is “the local” best Petaluma sandwich spot ever. I am obsessed with their Petaluma Sandwich — I add bacon & it truly is perfection. Well worth $17! It is so simple, yet so perfect. Life’s biggest pleasures truly are the most simple. I know people rave about Lombardi’s and Sourdough Co, but this place leaves them in the dust. I highly recommend this to anyone. Happiness in a sandwich :) Thank you for the beautiful sandwich creations!"

"Easily one of Petaluma’s best sandwich spots. Everything I’ve had from here is 10/10. Quality ingredients, great flavor, variety of options. I got the special sandwich today and it was delicious!"

"We were passing through Petaluma and the first sandwich shop we went to, we felt hostile from the patrons immediately as we walked in, so we left. The atmosphere here is much better and inviting. This sandwich is inside the Active fitness center, you do not need to be a member to eat here. The sandwiches are excellent and a solid deal for the quality and quantity. We got the Point Reyes and the Cubano. The ingredients combination in each sandwich did not overpower one another and went well together. The pickled veggies were especially good and pickled well, it wasn’t too vinegary. The sourdough bread itself was delicious; it was sour, soft, and the crust was not tough and easy to chew. The sandwich size itself is huge, roughly ten inches. I appreciated the wrapping of the sandwich. The sandwiches are wrapped once, sliced with the wax paper, then wrapped again in wax paper and given to you. This made it easy for us to eat the sandwiches and also for me to pack away the other half of mine. The smoothie itself was equally delicious and great bang for buck also. I got the Tropics and I could taste the real fruit. The drink itself was also filled to the tippy top. I appreciated that all the smoothies were made with oat milk, this is a personal preference, but oat milk is just delicious. I will be coming back when I go through the area. I want to try one of the vegetarian or vegan sandwiches next time, those sounded amazing too just on paper."

"We love The Local! Chris and Raul’s talent and creativity is representative in every dish they create. I am always greeted with a calm and friendly demeanor and truly love the atmosphere they have created. I have tried several dishes on their menu and have honestly enjoyed every one of them. My six year old twins absolutely love their “power up” smoothie and the “Redwoods” sandwich. I recently enjoyed the “orange winter salad” and their avocado hummus is absolutely amazing! The Local makes it easy to grab yourself a healthy and fresh meal while on-the-go."
