Malibu Ranch Market

I love coming here on Sundays with the fam after going to the farmers market. Fresh sandwiches and salads at a decent price — $ 10 on average — but room for improvement as far as the service in concerned. Great selection of smoothies for the little ones and liquor for the others!

I enjoy a sandwich that is balanced and does not have too much meat. I had an Italian sub, 1 slice of turkey, 1 slice of ham, 1 layer of salami and 2 slices of mortadella. Thats 5 layers of meat. There was pickles and a large slice of tomato. The bread is baked fresh daily and hollowed slightly so it was balanced. These are great sandwiches.

SO INCREDIBLY BAAAAAAD! I got the Malibu Ranch Sandwich for $ 9 plus tax, which supposedly has all these great things in it. There was only ONE tiny, severely slim SLICE of each thing. One turkey, one ham, one cheese, one tomato, one lettuce (all deli thin). The dry bread was five times larger than the stuff inside. They were also too CHEAP to put mayo/​mustard on both sides of the bread. And, to top it off, it wasn’t even fresh. I got it from the «deli» fridge but there was no one there actually making the sandwiches at 3:30p on Saturday. What the heck? How is it possible they say they have a deli? Total False Advertising.

Decent sandwiches — not great, not bad. Same for the smoothie.

Homemade fresh sandwiches and panini’s and hummus were so good and yummy homemade desserts also. The owners were super friendly and helpful and willing to customize our sandwiches. Right across from Zumba beach access too. Will definitely go back when in Malibu again.

Great place to Go to for lunch! Incredible soups, sandwiches, salads. No matter what you pick you can’t go wrong! Good ingredients!

After driving up and down the PCH for a quick bite, we took to Google and it led us here. The man behind the counter was so friendly and excited, it was really sweet.
We had a fantastic Italian hoagie, and took it to the beach for a little picnic. They had a great selection of beer and snacks and most importantly — Mexican Coke!

Malibu Ranch Market is located inside a big convenience store. The sandwiches are quite large and will set you back about $ 10.
I had the zuma club sandwich, which is black forest ham, mesquite smoke turkey, bacon, cheddar, red onion, lettuce and tomato. The lettuce they use is mixed greens and they lightly dress the greens. Not a bad touch, but it does get a little soggy if you save this huge sandwich for later. The sandwich itself was not bad. It was much tastier when it was fresh, but it was a bit too salty for my taste.
I like the large selection of drinks (beer, wine, soda) at the convenience store, and there’s lots of chips to choose from to accompany your sandwich.
I would give this place another try when I’m in the area again. They also sell burritos too!
Note: No place to eat. We took the sandwiches to Malibu beach across the highway and picnicked on the sand. :)

Great little convenient store! A selection of beers and wines available. Great lunch place or quick hot sandwich for dinner. People are really nice here! And if you forgot to pack a suit or sunscreen, you may be in luck here.

I was not happy with my order at the deli in this facility. I am a vegetarian & specifically asked for the roasted veggie wrap before going on our long hike. When opening my wrap long after i leave i come to find they gave me chicken & it was not even anything close to what i ordered. :((((
I called the next day to try & get a refund & the owner said he could not process the credit card refund because he did not know how? Then he precedes to make excuses saying oh i cant do a refund unless we see it because they wont believe me. This was a huge disappointment & i will never go there again because of it. THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT! DUH!!!

The positive: This place is good if you want to make a quick stop for snacks and beer. I used to come here all the time when i was in high school. it was the perfect stopping place on the way to the beach. They have a great selection of snack foods, wine, beer, coffee, and desserts. The guy at the checkout was less than friendly. He cross examined her I. D (we are in our 30s) and did not seem to know how to smile.
The negative: We went to the deli counter to order sandwiches for the beach. There were two people in front of us who had just placed their order. We ordered four sandwiches/​wraps for our group… we waited 30 minutes for our sandwiches. Over the course of the 30 minutes the women at the counter asked us three times what we wanted in our sandwich.
We finally got them. walked across the street to the beach, and opened our sandwiches. Although good taste, the bread had already turned to mush and the wrap had completely fallen apart. Hopefully they were just short handed on the day we came in but I am not in a hurry to come back, nor can I recommend stopping here for a sandwich if you are actually trying to hit the beach before sundown!

Great place to get a few snacks before going to the beach.

I went to the Malibu Ranch Market with a friend for sandwiches and it was my first time in Malibu. First off, great location! This place is right across the street from the beach so it’s a perfect place to go grab snacks and booze for a day in the sun. The owner seemed friendly enough, but the real winner was the fella that made our sandwiches. His name was Tony and he was super friendly and helpful. We spent a good deal of time chit chatting with him about sandwiches and then just about life in general. Very interesting and genuine person. For my sandwich, I got the Malibu Ranch Market Special and while it wasn’t my favorite sandwich ever, it was still yummy. The only reason I gave this place 3 stars was because of the prices. My sandwich was close to $ 9 which seems a bit absurd to me unless you’re getting three kinds of meat and avocado or something and it’s all organic. But then again, first time in Malibu, so that could just be the norm.

This place may be hidden, but treasure is also, and just like treasure, finding this place made me really happy ^_^
Tony is the best! And just like him, his sandwiches are the best also. BEST SANDWICH I’VE EVER HAD, hands down. (Thanks Tony!)
If anyone’s ever in need of a great sandwich around here, the Malibu ranch deli is the place to go!
:D

If your own your way to Zuma beach I suggest you stop here first. They have a wide variety of food and drinks to choose from. As of recently I noticed they carry Dippin’ Dots Ice Cream! I grabbed the cookies & cream and it was great!

This place is a hidden gem. The liquor store has everything you could every want, a huge selection of premium beers and wines, a great candy selection, and a great deli. The lady who makes the sandwiches is a doll and the sandwiches them selves are more than exceptional (I recommend a turkey bacon swiss on white ciabatta). The guy who runs the liquor store part couldn’t be any nicer and it is always a pleasure to stop by and say high. Either if i just got done working out at the gym upstairs or headed to zuma beach i always try to stop by and give these guys business because the service is amazing and the food is great this place is seriously a gem.

A (convenient!) convenience store along PCH, stocked with the normal convenience store snacks and drinks. A little deli counter in the corner with a super-​friendly woman that makes great sandwiches! The guy working the register was also really friendly and easygoing (I forgot my wallet in my car! «no problem, take your time!»). We watched «Tremors» on their flatscreen while waiting for our sammies. Nice little start to the day.

I went here after reading the other reviews on my road trip from San Diego to San Francisco. I had the Broad Beach Chicken Sandwich ($ 8.99) and it didn’t disappoint. I can’t say it’s the best sandwich I’ve ever had, but the ingredients (avocado, bacon, lettuce, tomato, red onion) were fresh and the bread (wheat ciabatta) was excellent. Location (right across from Zuma beach) is also good. Service wasn’t exactly friendly and was sort of slow (even though there were only 2 other people in there), but not a big deal – it’s just a stop-​in deli/​snack shop after all. I would definitely stop here again if I’m ever driving through.

SECRET: best. sandwiches. on the PCH. looks just like a convenience store with ample pool toys, etc — but go and visit the delightful woman at the tiny deli counter — these sandwiches are to die for … and a perfect stop before visiting Zuma or El Matador!

Driving up the PCH on our impromtu beach day we decided we needed some provisions. Luckily Malibu Ranch Market was right there to supply us with everything we needed.
They have a great selection of wines and beers as well as non-​alcoholic beverages. The candy selection is not your standard, but rather there is some creativity and thought — there was a «Hello Kitty» candy necklace I just had to have.
They even have a great stock of beach toys for the kiddies should you find yourself without a bucket and shovel for Zuma Beach right across the way.
Oh and PS the clerk is one of the nicest fellows ever. It’s worth a drive to Malibu just to stop by and say hi.
Impromptu day or planned I would add this to your list beforehand to get all needed supplies for your day in the surf and sand. (Was that a haiku? Poetry? Or just good copy for a commercial???)
