First time going, cute store with lots of coffee and other cool things. Slightly more expensive than I thought it would be but nothing crazy. Got the Cuban sandwich which is delicious but the bread wasn’t pressed so that was a bummer. Excited to try my coffee tomorrow morning though! Overall, will definitely go back.

What a gem I never knew existed. Our neighbor brought my wife there today and came back with a Cuban sandwich for me, which was awesome, and plenty of other great items to make a tray of goodies for us. Definitely making this a consistent stop. Thanks

I lost minute needed a meat/cheese platter and came in to pick some out to make my own when I found out that they make their own charcuterie boards! They were able to make it for me that same day and it looked absolutely stunning! The staff is so friendly and the owner is very welcoming to all visitors. You definitely need to stop in and I definitely recommend their charcuterie boards for a small gathering!

Went a few weeks after the renovation, seemed to be fine and was excited for the changes. Came by several months later and everything just tasted off. The feta dip, the gyros. Tasteless. The gyro was so dry. My favorite dip of all time, I couldnt even finish half. It appears theyre using cheaper ingredients and charging the same or more.Will never come back. Shame what happened. Just trying to maximize profits, will support other local businesses instead.EDIT: Corrected to remove a claim about food sourcing, my point was that this place lost its appeal entirely. The food just sucks now compared to before. 6/10 overall quality, but 1/10 compared to before.

Its nice, clean, spacious, and very well lit. Lots of options for dips and deli items. Its neat and organized. A big plus is the addition of an app with an online ordering feature. New management is doing a great job! The tiramisu is delicious! I just wish their lemoncello cake was more lemony🍋

Place is really cool.Changing my review as I didnt my know it had new owners.My wife and best friend love coming in here whenever they are in Pensacola, once a year or so.I came in the other day and noticed a huge difference and I came to the wrong conclusion, I am sorry.

So I never got a chance to see what it was like before with the previous owner. Having said that, this team was SO nice, knowledgeable and helpful. The Cuban sandwich was great! I sampled some cheese and almost bought a whole wheel it was so good..umm I still have no idea what kind it is. Cheddar with onion and something. Whatever it is, it is DELICIOUS 😋 I definitely will be back!

I went tonight for the first time in years. The new owners have opened the place up space wise. Its very open and clean. All of the delicious dips and spreads are still there. The staff was friendly and allowed me to shop without pressure. Best of all, the sandwiches I got for dinner were AWESOME. I cant wait to make a return visit.

New Management!!! This place looks amazing! They have retained all the best recipes, but immensely improved the shopping experience. And there are now prices on everything! If you stopped going for any reason, its time to return! Oh and there are multiple check out lines so youre not stuck waiting to make your purchase. My new favorite deli!

First time I been here and will definitely be back. Went for dinner but left with more then I thought I would. I got two sandwiches, cuban and pastrami. Cuban was delicious all around with the ingredients, ham, pepperoni, spicy mustard, jalapeno cheese, soft creamed cheese, and dill pickle on baguette bread. Baguette was toasted to my liking, nice crunch with a soft center. The pastrami was delicious as well. Provolone cheese, mayo, sliced pastrami, and soft flavored cheese. Both sandwiches were fantastic and cant wait to go back to get some other ones. The cheesecake was fantastic as well, smooth, creamy, and melts on your mouth of great cheesecake flavors. Also got the Boylan ginger ale, tasty. Would recommend this place, go shop and eat.

Bought two Gyros today for me and a co-worker. I must say these gyros were huge and messy with sauce falling out, and were Exactly what a Gyro should taste like. They were definitely worth getting and I will recommend them to everyone. Plus they have the largest collection of Root Beers I have seen, which is a win for me!

The new ownership provides a helpful but not pushy sales environment. Open floorplan with plenty of variety. Great selection of out of the ordinary items.

I was skeptical of how Four Winds would be once it changed hands. The feta spreads and turkey salad are just as good as they were before. The store is less crowded than before, and theres even a little coffee and wine bar.l (I didnt check that part out since I was just picking up some items and leaving).

Review №16

You can bookmark this place as your new go-to store for delicious dips, Sandwiches and more. I challenge you to sample their dips and try not going back for more. The new owners have brightened the place up, and given it a classier feel. Tommy and Amanda are super friendly, customer service oriented and have a great sense of humor.

Review №17

Missing the quirky authenticity of the old owner - the soul of the place is gone - but the tabouleh, the hummus, the sandwiches made to order are just as amazing as ever!! There seems to be much less in the deli and freezer spaces compared to before, but the cheesecake more than made up for it. Best we have ever had anywhere - melt-in-your-mouth perfect. Though I do miss browsing the oddities on the old shelves, and the friendliness of the past owner, it is nice to not be pushed when ordering tabouleh — for the first time ever, I left with only the amount I ordered! ;)

I used to love this place and visit it weekly. Now with the changes, no more! It lost its charm not to mention the crab dip tasted like mayonnaise with some flavoring in it. To me 4 Winds Deli is gone

We liked Four Winds before but under the new ownership it is extraordinary. The food is delicious and Im able to find things there that I dont find anywhere else in Pensacola. Thank you for taking the store to the next level. This is a must-visit for anyone looking to step up their meals.

Ive been coming here since I was 12 years old and Ive never been disappointed. The former owner was one of the nicest men Id ever met and Ill always support this business. New management has really brought this place back to life! I love what theyve done with the place. Food is just as good as always. Highly recommend for anyone who wants delicious, authentic food. You wont be disappointed! Worth every penny, every time😁❤

December 2020 Update: Im not changing my review, just passing along info that Four Winds is no longer owned by James, who recently retired. He sold his business to new owners & I wish them well, but during my only visit I was disappointed in the appearance of Four Winds as they remodeled & modernized the place. For me the charm is gone.************I hadn’t been to Four Seasons in about 7 or 8 years as my visits to Pensacola are typically brief. I also couldn’t remember exactly where it was & missed it during a recent stay. I can’t believe I had such difficulty finding this place, I recognize the businesses across the street, so I know I drove by. It’s just as I remember it & the scent of the deli hit me as I walked in the door. Best hoagie roll outside philly, hands down.This little market has a little bit of everything, items from the West Coast to the East Coast, from Western Europe to the Middle East to the Far East, including game animals. Looking for that hard to find spice? Stop by Four Seasons as there’s a good chance that they have it.

Really like the new remodel, but there arent as many products as before. Definitely missing things from the candies around the world. The deli section is fantastic. They make the best Turkey salad, and garlic dips!

Review №36

My first visit was pleasant. I went to just check out what folks were raving about in the Pensacola Foodies FB group. Theyre are so many sandwiches and dips to choose from and theyll let you sample before you buy. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The store and deli area is clean. There is also a small dining area. Ive never seen so many varieties of root beer in one place. They also sell imported items like craft beers, snacks, tea and coffee. Veteran owned and operated. Military and Firefighters discount. I purchased dip and some tea but will return for a sandwich. Check them out if you havent.

Review №47

Went there today. I knew as soon as I walked in that it had changed owners. It is no longer like a New York Deli. I was not going to order but thought I would give it a chance. The sandwiches were $9.00 and not worth $3.00 . As soon as I walked in it did not have that wonderful smell of imported cheese. It is a deli Pensacola style. And Pensacola is known not to have good restaurants. There was only two places in Pensacola that I would eat at. Now there is only one and it is not Four Winds. They were friendly but the food is boring.

Review №58

So this was my first time I’ve been there since a change in ownership. It definitely wasn’t like it used to be. Previously, the owner would heckle/harass you into tryin the different salads and sauces and it was a great experience. They previously had a great import beer selection as well. Now, the place has a much more “sterile” feeling in the shop. The beer selection is much more limited as is the other food and spice options. I wouldn’t completely discount the place now and I would give the new ownership a chance to improve the place until I return again.

My favorite place to shop. I love pretty much everything they make. I love the salmon sandwiches, a take on bagels and lox, as well as the hummus and pita. Easily the best place for sandwiches at lunch. Also all of their dips are ideal for any party.

Ive been shopping at 4 winds since 1985. The hummus has always been outstanding. The hummus has always been kind of solid to bind other dips like artichoke dip to their bread.Today I order hummus under the new management and it is soupy/watered down like. I just wish they would use the same recipe. I would even pay more but not watered down soupy hummas.

Four Winds International Foods was our lunch spot today & we are so glad we stopped in.

Absolutely worth stopping here. So many different wines and beers from around the world. What makes it 5 stars though by far is their food!!!! The dip especially. Try the garlic and feta dip, or the pesto and feta dip, and I promise you will NOT be disappointed!!! Their most recent dip is a prune and feta dip, which sounds odd, but is actually really good! Worth a try. This place is kinda pricey, but its most definitely worth it!!!!

This place doesn’t look like much but it is truly a hidden gem in the area huge selection of international foods beers wine everything from all natural soap that’s produced in Dubai to German branded bratwurst and sauerkraut. There are pastries like baklava she has a huge selection of cheeses and many different variants of feta cheese dips words can simply not describe if you’re an international world traveler how awesome this place is to find locally. And I can’t even forget to mention the deli part of it where if they make sandwiches from around the world one of the absolute best gyros I’ve ever had.
