Locally owned by Marin natives Kaity & Roberto Galvez since 2018, LJ's Deli has been a staple for Marin sandwich lovers for many years.

In 1969, husband and wife team Jeff and Vivian opened The Sub Hut at the current LJ's Deli location, creating the famous Sub Hut Special that is still served at LJ's today. Customers come in daily and share their memories of eating the Sub Hut Special for over 50 years.

Today, LJ's Deli celebrates the nostalgia of the Sub Hut Special (still the #1 seller!) and offers a unique take on fresh sandwiches-always served on Bordenave's Bread.
