One of the standout appeals of Maitland Market is its extensive and diverse menu, crafted for those who appreciate finely prepared deli classics alongside inventive twists. Customers rave about their sandwiches, with highlights like the Turkey Bacon Avocado featuring layers of fresh turkey, crispy bacon, creamy avocado, and a blend of Swiss, pepper jack, and cheddar cheeses. This standout creation offers a perfect balance of texture and flavor, enhanced by fresh lettuce, tomato, and a flavorful blend of mayo and garlic aioli.

    I had to go over to Mayton Humpstumper's place to fix his wife's Wigglewhooper because she revved it up to high and burned out the thruster bearings! It's an easy fix as long as its been sanitized, and to make sure I called ahead and asked Mayton to put it through the decontamination chamber again! This gave me plenty of time to stop at the Maitland Market Café & Deli! The sandwiches there are Amazing! 5 stars

    Great local market on Bay Farm. With CVS leaving and Safeway also rumored to be on the way out, this will be the last place to grab a roll of TP or some butter on BF. Oh yeah the deli side is fantastic. The Mobster (Ham, Salami, Hot Coppa, Provolone, Romaine Lettuce, Tomatoes, Mayonnaise, & Red Wine Vinaigrette) is my favorite.

    How can a sandwich this big and this good cost less than a fast food burger? The UPSnator- this will be a two meal sandwich.

    My brother placed a to-go order for lunch the other day and I ordered the goodfella. Sandwich was flavorful and fresh tasting. Was slightly bummed that I ordered on sourdough and it was made on a different bread but still a good bread. Sandwich has grilled chicken, mozzarella, arugula, red pepper, garlic aioli, pesto and balsamic vinegar. Sandwich cost about $10 which seems like a fair price for how filling it was.

    Old school liquor store mart and deli vibes. Some nice table and chairs in the front. I got the heated sandwich that has hot pastrami and Turkey. This sandwich was beyond what I was expecting. Melty, spicy, mushrooms and peppers…so good. Got it with a toasted sourdough bun. For a little under $10 you can’t find anything like this anymore. Will be back!
