Red Scooter Deli

Mouthwatering fresh food is now available at two locations.

Delivery, pick-up or dining-in just got even better!

—When you find yourself in or near downtown Paso Robles, hungry and without much time to grab something to eat, Red Scooter Deli comes to the rescue! Give them a call, order online, or drop in. Pick up your order at the new 711 6th Street location, right next to Robbins Field, across from the Post Office.

Don’t despair! They are still at the downtown location on Pine Street, directly across from the Downtown City Park. Leisurely dining is still a thing to do at both locations. The new, expanded outdoor patio location on 6th and Spring Plaza is ready to greet loyal Red Scooter fans and welcome newcomers! The new location has a lovely covered patio, opens early at 6:30 a.m., serves beer and wine, and includes an expansive parking lot for easy access to the deli.

Over the years, the Red Scooter, renowned for its mouthwatering fresh ingredients, vegan options, and warm hospitality, has become a foodie destination for locals and visitors alike. Traveling fans of the deli make it a point to stop here, as it’s the perfect halfway point between Southern California and the Bay Area.

Fresh, locally-sourced food

The deli opens early for breakfast, serving everything from bagels, lox, egg scrambles, and breakfast sandwiches, to gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. Locals and visitors exploring the beautiful Paso Robles wine country can enjoy meals on the patio or take a picnic to a winery or the nearby park.

The food is built on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, including pastries and breads either baked in-house or from local bakeries. Guests can choose from a variety of hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, salads, and soups, all piled high with delicious fillings. There are dietary options available, as well as fruit smoothies, a full espresso bar, and pastries like walnut-loaded sticky buns and lemon bars.

A favorite since 2010

Stephanie Johnston has been operating the Red Scooter Deli since 2010 after purchasing it from the former owners. She works alongside her staff, taking orders, preparing the food, serving, checking on customers, and bussing tables. “I’m very hands-on,” said Johnston. “This is a family-run business and I enjoy mentoring the staff and helping them learn and develop job skills.” Her efforts are apparent in the cheerful and helpful attitudes of the deli staff, and Red Scooter Deli’s contributions to local charity is always top of mind, giving a percentage of profits to help the homeless, support local schools, and other nonprofits.

Red Scooter Deli is also the perfect go-to for catering local events, wineries, and luncheons. The catering menu features a large variety of sandwich, cheese, and vegetable platters, as well as salad bowls, box lunches, and desserts.

Drop in and order in person or use Red Scooter’s easy and convenient online ordering system. Delivery to many locations is available for orders placed between 7 am – 3 p.m. Delivery to wineries is also available as well as Templeton and San Miguel businesses.
