Beloved Sicilian-style deli-bakery with standout focaccia sandwiches and pastries, counter service, and premium pricing with a mandatory service charge; excellent flavors but portions run small.
Sebastiano's delivers solid neighborhood quality through excellent focaccia sandwiches and standout pastries paired with friendly, attentive counter service and charming patio seating. However, inconsistent execution—particularly small portions and occasional bread density issues—prevents a higher grade, and the mandatory service charge creates value perception challenges that limit broader appeal.
On a sunny corner of Sellwood, this deli-bakery hums with casual neighborhood energy. You order at the counter, then settle into the cozy room or lively patio while trays of focaccia sandwiches and pastries emerge. One diner gushed that the sandwich lineup was "a five-star streak," while another admired the bright, citrus-accented space and swift service. The cooking leans Sicilian and artisan-focused rather than experimental: chewy, fragrant focaccia; a house muffuletta with olive relish; olive oil cake and seasonal sweets. Flavors win frequent praise, with chips and pastries earning special love. The tradeoff is value perception—portions skew small and a 20% team service charge applies, so the experience suits those who prioritize quality ingredients over bargain sizing. Families will find it approachable: counter service, outdoor seating, and familiar flavors for kids like simple sandwiches, chips, and cookies. There is no dedicated kids menu noted, and portions may feel modest, but many children will happily split a sandwich and claim a pastry. Allergy needs require extra caution due to mixed reports on clarity.
