We happened upon this Claro’s by accident, and it was a pleasant surprise. My sister always gets the Auntie Mary, and I love Uncle Bob custom sandwiches. My son chose Angry Joe. The meats and cheeses are great. Service was pleasant and friendly. The deli area was clean. All orders are for takeaway only. We got a free nougat candy for Mother’s day from the sweet lady at the cashier counter.

Claro's has been been one of my go to place for deli meat and sandwiches. What sandwich I orderer, I make sure to ask them to use the "crunchy bread" instead of the softer alternative. It really makes s difference. This time around, I decide to buy all the deli meats and make my own sandwich. It was great

Stopped by to grab a deli sandwich and it was delicious! Got the Great Grandpa Joe and cousin Kara! Nice little market that carries a wide range of Italian products. Has a nice little selection of wine. There is gelato ice cream, pizzas, wide range of desserts and pastries.

Stumbled upon this cute deli shop and oh my god the food and the customer service the pastry’s are all so amazing. The lady working the counter at the deli was soooo awesome I didn’t catch her name but she helped me pick which sandwich to get and literally split the sandwiches with out tomato for me and my other friend so we could split it. 10/10. Amazing sandwich

What We Ordered: -Great Grandpa Joe (L)$13.49 -Spicy Mike (L) $13.49 -Fancy Italian Cookies 0.84 LBS @ $18.99/LB I've been eager to try Claro's for awhile now. It's only a 10 minute drive from our home. We finally made the right decision to come by and check it out. I grew up eating Italian Subs and it's one of my favorite types of sandwiches of all time. There's not many places in the area where you can get an Italian Sub. We ordered the Great Grandpa Joe for our son. He really liked it! I got the Spicy Mike for myself. I got lettuce and tomatoes added to it and I requested it extra spicy. It comes with sliced pepperoncini, but I asked for an extra kick. I was asked if I'd like the Ghost Pepper Challenge. The gal (She was super sweet!)behind the counter sliced up two slices of Ghost Pepper Cheese for my wife and I to try and it was definitely spicy. She was kind enough to give us some slices of ham to chase the spicy flavor of the ghost pepper. My son was jealous and wanted to try the cheese too, but we explained that the cheese is too spicy for him. He had to settle for the slice of ham instead. I gotta say! Everyone was very helpful and kind at Claro's! It is truly a neighborhood market! For example, my wife knocked over some candied nuts and broke the bag and they spilled everywhere. My wife apologized profusely and the staff joked around with her and said, "forget about it" My wife offered to pay several times, but the lady working the bakery counter had us give it to her to throw away. She wouldn't let us pay. She was super kind and friendly! They even offered us some samples of some of the cookies they offer for sale. We ended up buying some cookies later on. Although, I didn't grow up coming to Claro's. The sights and smells were very nostalgic for me. It reminded me of the Italian bakeries I grew up going to with my Italian Papa. It was really special to be able to purchase some of those cookies from my childhood. We'll definitely be back again soon!

I have been driving past this location all my life and finally decided to give it a try and realized I've been missing out all this time! They have a selection of deli meats, salads, charcuterie board goodies and even freshly made pastries. The selections are limited but still overwhelming as everything sounds delicious! I tried the Angry Mike, rainbow cakes and even got a sample of the Chicken salad. Everything tastes high quality and made fresh! The service is top tier and they offered a sample for everything since we said it was our first time. They definitely are helpful and will even tell you what tastes best paired and what doesn't. I love that they have a whole parking lot for their store across the street from the storefront where their warehouse is.

I am BEGGING grocery stores to train staff on the basics of packing bags. And perhaps discourage drug use during work? Good lord, do not put fresh sandwiches at the bottom of a bag and then heavy frozen pasta on top, which then smushes the very bread that makes your sandwiches so good!! It isn't just Claro's, it seems like no store has anyone who understands the basics of putting items in a bag. And also that use of multiple bags must now be a felony, because everything has to be crammed into one bag that is then impossibly heavy, even if packed properly. I guess more people pack their own big bags that they bring, and managers just assume kids these days have common sense? But they do not. They really really do not. Still giving this place 5 stars because the sandwiches are great, most of the prepped food is very good. Selection of Italian coffees and candies/chocolates is great. Wine section is small, but fun, hidden gems in there. And the staff are very friendly. But for the love of God, teach them about bagging! Per carita, ragazzi!!!!!

Amazing Italian deli that specializes in Italian meats, cheeses and food. They also offer Italian gelato, cookies, pastries and other desserts. If you are looking for a hard to find food item from Italy, or just better quality items for your Italian cuisine, this is the place to come find it. Sandwich and deli meats are fantastic as ever. Their meats make great charcuterie boards. Be prepared to spend a little more, as everything now a days is. But the quality of their meats is far superior to supermarkets.

Look, this review is mainly about the meatball sub. And what a meatball sub it is. Got a large meatball sub (4 meatballs) cause why not, the more the merrier. Them meatballs are quite big, as in will take more than a few big bites just to finish 1 big. The sweet and tangy marinara sauce balanced it out. Melted mozzarella on top.. But the thing holding everything together was the MVP, the bread. This roll they used somehow held all the juices and sauce of this monster yet still had the perfect crunch to it. Absorbing soaking up all that goodness yet not soggy. Thin with the just perfect chew. The only problem I have with this sub is that it's big enough to share but you can't just eat half of it. Cause when you're halfway you just want to keep going.. but if you keep going.. coma. Let this be a warning that you will probably need to go horizontal after eating one of these. I suggest leaving time for a nap, thank me later. The market itself had a lot of things, I picked up some olive oil and frozen lasagna which I hope is half as good as that bread.. I'll be back. Ciao.

02/28/2025 I haven't been back here since 2023. Thought I would give them another try. A large combo sandwich is now $11.49 and they no longer have the free soda with any sandwich purchase with the Yelp Check In. Where else can you get a true Italian submarine sandwich? Ummm same great taste as previous times. Loaded with dry salami, roast beef, provolone cheese, mortadella and other cold cuts lettuce, tomato and olive oil dressing. They also have fresh baked bread they slice for you.

I have officially found my happiest place on earth! Wow! Claro's literally has everything: ready made food, cheese, wine, bread, dried goods, seasoning, frozen meals, tons of pastries, gelato, a deli, and a freakin wall that gives you a checklist for charcuterie board making. It's a tad overwhelming because you literally will want everything but I was ridiculously happy to have finally popped in. My husband and I chose Claro's for our 9th Friday Sammy Tour stop. We could have spent all day in there. So many meal options and ideas but we were strong and focused on ordering our lunches at the deli counter. Our food: - Large Cousin Caroline (Honey Turkey, garlic Salame, Black Forest ham, smoked Gouda, lettuce, tomato, & grained mustard. comes in small or large) - Large Grandpa Frank (Claro's baked ham, regular capocollo, lean toscano, provolone cheese, red roasted peppers, & Italian dressing. comes in small or large) - Tim's salt & vinegar chips - From the pastry counter: customer filled napoleon and cream filled cannoli We devoured our sandwiches and they were delicious down to the very last bite. Fresh deli sliced meats and cheese, soft, melt in your mouth bread, so damn tasty. Would have that again and again. I can only imagine how delicious their other food items are. Guess I'll have to find out. Each employee from the person restocking the shelves, to the deli counter, up to the front cashier were all very pleasant and smiling. It's nice to see people enjoying what they are doing and extending that to the customer. Can't wait to come back to Claro's for some real food shopping!

Food - 4/5 - From the sandwich counter to the deli meats to the items on the shelves, there is so many goodies to choose from! I would highly recommend doing your shopping and stopping by the sandwich counter on the way out! The portion size is quite sizable too! Price - $$ - The price point here is quite decent for what you are getting. I think it's easy to spend a lot because everything looks so tasty! Service - 5/5 - The service here is super friendly! I love chatting with the workers behind the counter, they make you feel so welcome and are so helpful with whatever questions you may have. Ambiance - 4/5 - The small market vibe makes this place super cozy! The counters and shelves are filled with goodies, it's hard to not want to buy everything. The places looks very clean and has a lot to offer Location - 4/5 - There is ample parking in their lot across the street from the market. Super convenient! ____________________ **Note: Location rating does not affect yelp review, this is just for informative purposes of other patrons only.

Unfortunately this was the most disappointing location I've been to :( You expect consistency with such a small chain like Claro's but this location ultimately did not keep up the quality when it came to their sandwiches. I was given stale bread it was like a sandwich with a crouton as bread. Tomatoes were dull, soft and lifeless. Everything else was about the same about the store but who knows. I wouldnt go back when the other locations have not been like this and are not too far either.

We decided to have lunch here and all I can say the sandwiches were amazing. We ordered 6 of them and they were all great. The service was good and fast.

I'm torn between a 3 or 4 stars review. This is a tiny Italian market that has a lot of ready to eat foods and a sandwich shop. The ambiance is casual and they have 2 tables on the outside for guests to eat. They do not have a public restroom and their parking lot is across the street. The service is what got me kind of flustered. In the deli area, you have to pull a ticket and wait for your number to be called. Then a staff member will assist you. We ordered quite a few things. 2 different types of cheese. I wanted the medium sharp cheddar (I read it word for word while pointing at it) and the staff said there are two kinds medium or sharp, which would you like? I said medium sharp. Another staff member told him there is medium sharp. I suppose he was new. We also got 2 sandwiches, and some salami, and garlic bologna. As we were waiting for our deli order to be ready, I ventured to the other side to look for some bread. I didnt know what I wanted, but i felt rushed to place my order. I couldn't even get enough time to look at what I wanted. I said what I wanted but I think the lady had a hard time understanding what I wanted. I was waiting to see if my husband had our deli order so I can pay together, no, wasn't ready so I paid and went back to the deli area. About 10 minutes went by between me walking away and paying for what I bought in the bakery section. All my husband had in his hands were the two sandwiches. We were still waiting for our deli and cheese orders. The staff who was assisting us literally had no sense of urgency and just "slumped" every chance he could against the counter. We were probably there for a good additional 20 minutes. He took his time folding the deli and cheeses and labeling. It took too long. Our number was 63. By the time we left they were non number 70+. Oh, worst part of everything, my sandwich order was wrong. I also asked for lettuce and tomato and it didn't come with it.

Came for a sandwich. Friendly service behind the counter. Sandwich was well-built and packaged to go very well. Couldn't resist buying a jar of Divina fig jam...not too sweet...fig spread is a pedestrian name for this fruit of the gods jelly heaven.... and....also highly recommend a jar of Claros own awesome olive muffelada tapenade. Always fun to visit Claros to browse and of course to get a sub sandwich. A SGV institution.

A local, unique gem. Went for one of their deli sandwiches. Was delish. Came out with a few sides, a few pastas, and cookies. This place is truly a great Italian store. Service from being greeted at the door to the cheery deli folk to checking out is a pleasure. They have several location in So Cal. Try 'em. You'll not be disappointed

I love this place!! I live nearby and love coming here whenever I'm craving a sandwich, marinated mushrooms, pizza or desserts! Whenever I make pasta, I come by and grab bread, pasta sauce, pasta and the sausages. I always make a big charcutere board during my family dinner parties and this is the go-to place! So many different kinds of cheeses and deli meats! The service is always superb and everyone is always so nice and cheery. I love visiting during the holidays cause it feels so homey. The inside has rows and aisles of authentic Italian goodies. After trying the Grandpa Joe sandwich, I can never go back to Subway or any other sandwich shop. This place has the best cuts of deli meat and cheese. Love this mom and pop shop feel! I'd definitely recommend the marinated mushrooms!! They have other delicious cold dishes but my favorite is the mushrooms. :) Shoutout to Rosie!! She's so kind and gives the best macaroni and cheese recipes!!

I've never been to Italy.... I just go to Claro's. Best Italian markets in the SGV. Even if you aren't into Italian deli foods, they have some of the best fresh cookies, pastries, and breads around. Great company!

Visited this location for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised at the wide selection of items that they had from chocolates to olive oil to different pastas and sauces. Not only are there groceries but there is also a deli counter where you can get fresh meats, cheeses, and pastas but they also have a counter for baked goods! They are so friendly and so helpful - honestly, all of the Claro's locations I've been to actually have excellent customer service. If you work in the area, there are tables outside where you can eat. Will definitely come back.

You do not need to travel to Italy to obtain all the necessary ingredients for an authentic Italian dinner. Claros offers a comprehensive selection of ingredients, including sandwiches and desserts. I ordered spaghetti meatballs with an extra serving of sauce. The meatballs were exceptionally large, approximately the size of a lemon, and were exceptionally delicious and moist. I intend to return to try their lasagna and desserts. The establishment has outdoor tables, allowing patrons to enjoy their meals while taking in the ambiance. For a genuine Italian experience without the meatballs tasting like cardboard or the spaghetti overcooked, I highly recommend Claros. They offer an extensive variety of sandwiches, meats, wines, desserts, and Italian-made products. The staff, Sylvia and Rosie, were both friendly and helpful.

Love this place and always go when in the area. However, they are now price gouging. $27 bucks for a small sandwich, potato chips, drink and a mini pastry. Get out of here. AVOID THIS PLACE !!!

Why have I not written a review for Claro's? That seems like a disservice. Honestly what's not to love. Want hot Italian food, they have it! At great prices too. Their hot meal starts at I think $13.99. you get a main item (get the lasagna), a choice of meat, a veggie (steamed or eggplant parmesan), and a garlic bomb. The garlic bombs are $1.99 each if you want more. Want a sandwich? There are so many to chose from my husband usually gets a custom sandwich but this time he actually got one of their sandwiches that wasn't on the main board. Muffuletta Micah. He thoroughly enjoyed it. I opted to get sliced fennel salame and a red skinned potato salad with egg. My mouth is watering and wish I got a bigger size than I did. The prices are decent. I often never leave spending less than $50 plus. So food alone will be a bit of damage. Then you walked to the front and are tempted with gelato, pizza and baked goods including baked bread with a slicer on hand. I was so tempted to get a slice of pizza! But I ended up getting a carrot cake! One of my favorites! The store is "warm", that's the best way I can describe it. Clean, like going to an Italian Grandmother's house where she gives you soft vanilla nougat as a treat. The service is superb. Dawn is such a wonderful soul. She takes her time to talk to me. She remembers that I have 3 girls and shares my happiness of them growing up, she remembers them when they were young. The deli has it's ups and downs. When they're slow, they chat and enjoy that time with you. But when it's busy, it's all business! Overall we will always shop and eat at Claro's. And hopefully my children will too.

Stopped by to check on pricing for party platters for an upcoming party. Great service. Employees are very polite, informative, and friendly. Ordered a lunch special that comes with East side of pasta, meats, eggplant parmigiana, and a garlic knot. Hugh portions for $13.99! Next to the cashiers, there is a sample bowl of a variety of baked goods. A yummy free tasting of cookies, and biscottes to go with my lunch. Definitely looking forward to hosting my party next week with Claro's catering dishes!

This deli is always my go to for sandwiches for most of my last minute events and parties. You cannot go wrong with the ring sandwich. Small one feeds 10-12 people, costs less than $40 make sure you have them cut it for you. Its will be a few dollars more but it comes in a nice clear display container, which keeps the sandwich moist and fresh. The portions are just right. They have bigger sandwiches. You can order custom sandwiches, salads, pasta, Italian groceries. The vibe here is on point, please order at least a day in advance, because all bread is baked daily and the sell out by the afternoon. I highly recommend catering you next get together from here.

I came here today to look for some guanciale and other specialty items and was so happy with my experience here. Frank was so sweet and helpful, checked in to see if I was able to find the guanciale, and went all the way to the warehouse across the street when we saw that it was currently out of stock and put in an order for more. He even gave me tips on alternatives they had down to the recommended cut size of the pancetta. He also helped me find my precious Madeira wine which can't be found at your standard grocery store like Ralph's or Whole Foods. Kathy at the deli also really knows her stuff like your knowledgeable nonna. The authenticity, quality, and selection of specialty Italian items that I can't normally find anywhere else is like a little piece of heaven for me. Just browsing the aisles of this store makes me happy haha. Where else are you going to find these beautiful blocks of Gorgonzola and containers of imported Parmigiano Reggiano and Pecorino Romano, freshly grated for you already! Hot Italian sausage in both ground and link form, specialty meats like prosciutto and guanciale and pancetta, Italian cookies, pappardelle, squid ink pasta, I could just go on and on. I am so excited to cook my Carbonara and my Pizza Arrabbiata tonight, thanks to Claro's :) xoxo you will love it here !

We bought cousin k sandwich and cannoli. We paid around $12 for the sandwich and $4 for the cannoli. Both were very good and affordable. The service was quick. We were in the line for only 5 minutes. When you go inside, the market looks organized but traditional. It looks like they got good items for pasta and Italian product's.

Claro's has been around for as long as I could remember but strangely I never made a point of stopping in until now. It's a speciality grocer with a deli counter that sell made to order sandwiches. While I didn't love my sandwich I loved the selection! I purchased some sauces, frozen lasagna, cannoli, and cookies. The sauces were delicious. The frozen lasagna I haven't cooked (since it has been too hot to turn on my oven), and the dessert good. The sandwich was only ok. Decent amount of meat but needed more flavor and I would have prefer the bread to be toasted. Perhaps it's an option? I didn't inquire. Anyhow, very clean store. With both convenient street parking or at their lot across the street. I will definitely be back for my next grocery run.

Just moved back to 626, and still great. It's been more than 10 years later, but my siblings still coming to this deli and they got a makeover (& still family owned) but still creating the same great sandwiches and selling amazing products I can't find elsewhere! Thanks Kathy behind the deli for the warm welcome back. Edit: make sure you add horseradish dressing (made in-house), spicy oil to the custom sandwich. Makes the difference.

:: Food :: I ordered the Spicy Mike and it was good! It satisfied my craving for an Italian sandwich. :: Service :: The gentlemen who helped take my order and made the sandwich were nice. The lady at the register was also super friendly. The market is clean and they have a variety of Italian goods. They have frozen ravioli, fresh baked goods, snacks, and much more! :: Parking :: There's street parking and their own lot across the street from the market. :: Tip :: If it's your first time ordering a sandwich or placing an order for cut meat, remember to grab a number and wait for your number to be called.

I wish it would be opened 24/7 ya right. They close early Sundays and closed one day if the week. I made 4 charcuterie boards with the meats from here. Everyone loved the tasty meats and cheeses. Sandwiches ready to go and made to order. They ice cream is amazing and pizza! Pick some frozen meals to make later on in the week and make a salad and bam! They have the good olive and all the jams and pasta you can imagine!

I have been to this Claro's in the past, but it is a little far from where I live. I had been getting sandwiches from Jersey Mike. big mistake. Today's sandwiches from Claro's Italian Market were better in almost every way. size, weight, looks, bread, the quality of the meat and cheese were superior. the sandwiches I got today are delicious, and I will not make the mistake of choosing someplace other than Claro's Italian Market.

Everything from the deli sandwiches and the deli itself to the handmade raviolis and gnocchi, are authentic and incredible! They also make their own Alfredo and marinara sauces! They have a wide range of authentic Italian products such as balsamic vinegar, etc. They also sell an amazing ricotta cheese! I can't recommend this place enough a gem amongst a bustling city!

It's like having a piece of Italy in the San Gabriel Valley! From the deli sandwiches, meats, and cheeses to the wine, pasta, and Italian specialty items! My personal favorite is that they carry spumoni ice cream! If you're ever looking to make an authentic Italian dinner, this is the spot to get all of your ingredients!

I like stopping by here for a sandwich or hot food items during lunch. I enjoy their sandwiches and pasta that they offer. I would not recommend the garlic bread in the cooked pasta section. They're individual rolls cut in half with a garlic spread inside. Tasted like day old bread to me. They usually have a lot of those in the case and now I can see why. Service is great. The workers are friendly. Only place to sit is outside if you want to eat lunch there. There's only a couple of tables there. I usually just purchase my food and go.

My husband and I don't live in the area any longer, but we were in town to visit an old friend. We told our friend we would bring lunch with us, so we stopped at Claro's. All three sandwiches were FANTASTIC! I got a roast beef, and it was so lean and so delicious. We also got some side salads and some cookies. Yummy!! So glad to know they are still around and still top quality.

Such a cute modern italian market and they have plenty of parking across the street!! When you first walk in, there's a whole section filled with delicious looking pastries and then towards the other side is where you can get hot foods, macaroni salads, sandwiches and everything italian. This market is where you can shop for all things italian, literally anything and everything. We came here to try their sandwiches and eat outdoors but when we got there around 3pm, the employees were already removing the chairs and tables from the front. We ended up just getting our sandwiches to go. The friendly staff recommended the Great Grandpa Joes so that's what I ended up ordering. You can also customize your own sandwich. Super fresh and tasty deli meats! Loved it!

I love getting sandwiches from Claro's Market. My favorites are the Spicy Mike and the Great Grandpa Joe. The sandwiches are huge with salami, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and pepperocinis. I ordered 4 and had them cut in half and wrapped individually. Delicious!

Come for the sandwiches but now also check out the pizzas and groceries! My go to sandwich is the Great Grandpa Joe. It's the epitome of an 'Italian' sandwich. And, get the large for $1.50 more as it's better bang for the buck. High quality bread, meats and cheeses so you can't go wrong as long as you're into what's inside the sandwich. And, don't forget to check-in on Yelp for a free can of 12-ounce soda when you buy any sandwich. Just say Yelp and that's good enough for the cashier

On a recommendation I went to Claro's for the first time today. What a hidden gem! I'm so glad we decided to come here. Upon entering we were greeted and pleasantly surprised by the authentic warm ambiance. We headed over to the Deli to try their sandwiches I heard so much about. When I got to the Deli section I was greeted and serviced by Rosie, she was friendly, welcoming and answered my questions patiently and kindly! She was even making us laugh while making her recommendations! I got the Grandpa Joe and I added American cheese. (Don't judge me I was trying to recreate a sandwich from one of my favorite shops that closed). It was perfect! While I waited I looked around and they had a mini market that had so many Italian goodies and in the front there were fresh baked goods. I am happy to report we found our new spot. I will be happy to support this business! Thank you Rosie for making our first visit a success!

Claro's is such a jewel in SGV. As an authentic Italian store and deli, they serve and sell all things Italian - most products are imported straight from the country. I mainly go to the deli to order their signature Italian sandwiches. My go-to's for me and my wife are the Cousin Kara and Spicy Mike. We typically get the regular size, but a large size is great if you want to save some for lunch the next day! I typically call in to order my sandwiches ahead of time; when not busy, they typically only take a few minutes, but when busy, they could take over 20 minutes, so calling ahead is always courteous and better-prepared, IMO. While sometimes they don't pick up the phone immediately if they're busy, I've rarely had them hang up or not answer my call. Their customer service is great, as they receive my order, let me know how long it'll take, and then thank me nicely. The employees are always polite when I arrive, and I've even chatted with a few of them before; the store is always clean and well-stocked; and I've never had a bad experience here. If you're ever in need for anything Italian, come by Claro's!
