Mal's Market

At the top of the hill on Noche Buena sits my childhood, with memoried of Garbage pail kids, Now-N-Later sticks and Grape Crush for about a buck. This place was one of the first places I took my son when he first visited, so he could get a taste of where I grew up. Every time I go home I stop by here, get a sandwich, buy a few things, and am thankful something of Seaside's past survives. The inside is as I remembered and the neighborhood people still shop there. This place is the definition of classic and working class California, and it makes happy to see it. So much of Seaside is going the way of Monterey, and so much has changed. But places like Mal's aren't just a museum, but are a living breathing connection to the past, and still serving people today. Hope this place never leaves, and that I can still get a sandwich the next time I come home to visit.

If you grew up in Seaside this is the hidden gem for us locals. If I’m having a bad day I’ll go pick me up a bomber with everything on it. On another note they have some great ice cream in the back too. If you’re looking for comfort foods or just need a last minute items they usually have it. My daughter likes to stop there for a big pickle and some pizza usually it’s a all around vibe for sure FYI If you going during a regular lunch time you may hit a line but it’s worth the wait

MAL'S MARKRT: This is one of the older family owned market places. This a is is down to earth home market friendly pleasant and honest . They may preferably have you wear a mask but they sure don't cover up one of the best sandwiches in calif. If you haven't had a sandwiche from this market along with there great tasting pasta salads, you will be driving miles after having your fist sandwich , you will never see so much meat IN A SANDWICH there the BOMB! . Thats what there called the BOMBER. THANKS GUYS SEE YOU SOON.
