About

Eastern European specialty deli and grocery at 4150 Regents Park Row, Suite 110 near UTC in La Jolla, 92037 — one of the very few destinations in San Diego for authentic provisions from Russia, Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Armenia, Georgia, and across the former Eastern Bloc. The deli case carries borscht, pirozhki, pelmeni, blintzes, house-baked rye bread, Riga sprats, and a selection of Yugoslavian and German sausages, and the UTC-adjacent location makes it the international counterpart to Rubicon Deli on La Jolla Village Drive — both anchoring the north-La Jolla lunch corridor with house-baked bread. Imported chocolates, wafer cakes, Armenian jams, and buckwheat round out the grocery side. Ready-to-eat items make it a genuine lunch stop. Bring cash to avoid the credit card surcharge and ask staff to walk you through the selection — they're knowledgeable and generous with samples. Village Square diners who want 800 sandwich combinations under one roof head to Ike's Love & Sandwiches on Villa La Jolla Drive.
