This was by far the best Turkey & Bacon sandwich that I’ve ever had. Go see for yourself.

Awesome little spot. Popped in for breakfast - delicious, affordable and the guys working there are delightful
My favorite breakfast (and lunch!) spot! This was my go-to spot when I was working in the area. I am a huge fan of the croissant breakfast sandwiches - they’re warm, flaky and delicious! I also loved that I could stop by in the afternoon and grab a quick bite without feeling too full. Their egg salad is one of my favorites and it’s so hard to find a place that gets it just right! Even if you’re not the biggest foodie, Paul and his team are incredible. They clearly know their regulars and are also wonderful with their catering orders. All the orders I placed came right on time, exactly as ordered- even with the oddest dietary restrictions. I would HIGHLY recommend stopping in for breakfast or lunch, this place is a gem!
Best sandwich in town, fresh breads and ingredients and all the options for toppings. Try the tuna or the spicy chicken - both excellent - and friendly sandwich pro craftsmanship !
This is the best place to eat sandwiches in downtown, always fresh and delicious. My favorite is tuna salad with Swiss cheese and tomato. Highly recommend this place.
Le Regency is my go-to spot for a sandwich in the financial district. Two main reasons for this: 1) Really quality sandwiches 2) Very short wait During the busy lunch rush, it can be difficult to find a place that is quick, and with good food. I have never waited more than a minute or two at Le Regency, as they are very quick at preparing sandwiches, and the location is somewhat hidden compared to other areas in FiDi. This is a typical make-your-own-sandwich type of place where you choose your bread, meat, and cheese, along with all of the toppings. They also have soups and salads. I would recommend this place for a anyone looking for a quality lunch option in FiDi.
A breakfast burrito to reward your taste buds! A perfect oasis ID you had to visit the urgent care or are waiting to board the cable car. The only thing you'll regret is NOT stopping by and at least saying hi to the shop dog! P.S. a dog frequents this establishment.
Pretty cool hole in the wall deli. With the steady flow of customers coming in, the staff knows just about every person by name. Very nice. And the food that we ordered was good.
They are super friendly and my order was ready within 10 minutes. The sandwich was AMAZING! It’s so close to work, I will be a regular!!
Excellent sandwiches made by excellent people. The line can get pretty long at lunch but it's worth the wait for one of the more affordable lunches in the FiDi
Great staff, fun atmosphere. Turkey sandwich with fresh vegetables is simple but delicious. Couldn't stop eating the soup.
Wow one of the best breakfast, Lunch, when you eat there you are full and happy try all specialty breakfast sandwiches in town cook when you order

A Satisfying Stop at Le Regency Deli We were returning to the office from a quick errand when we spotted Le Regency Deli and, feeling hungry, decided to share a breakfast sandwich. When we entered, we saw two men inside behind the counter. One, who I presume was the owner, was on the phone, so the grill man approached and took our order of ham and egg on a bagel. While waiting, I surveyed the space. It's long and narrow. As you enter, you'll find the counter displaying food on your left, with refrigerators containing canned and bottled soft drinks on the right. The dining area, with about 15 tables, and the restroom are located at the end. A few years ago, before COVID hit, this place bustled with the Financial District breakfast and lunch crowd, often having a line out the door. They even had outdoor seating. However, today, there were only a few patrons during our visit. The grill man prepared our breakfast bagel and handed it to us in a compostable box. It was generously layered with ham and topped with an egg. We strolled back to the office, took a bite of our respective halves, and both gave it a thumbs-up. Le Regency Deli also offers sandwiches, wraps, burritos, and salads, catering to those grabbing a quick bite during their lunch hour. Satisfied with the sandwich, I'll most likely return to try their other delicious-looking and filling options.

I really really love this place and I want to give it 5 stars SO bad, but compared to other delis I've been to in SF, it's just a tad too expensive for what it is. Let me say this again - I LOVE THIS PLACE! The staff are all very kind and the line is quick and efficient. Breakfast and lunch sammys always hit the spot for me, and I often find myself craving their egg, ham & cheese croissant... But again, a tad overpriced.
Great spot for lunch with a lot of sandwich choices. Their roast beef is always very good, and the people there are nice. There are three 2-person tables out front (when it's sunny) if you can grab one!

I thought I'd found a place to grab coffee and croissant before work. And it was good for a bit, the croissants were small but decent. But the croissant I got today was hands down the worst I've ever had, and I eat Costco croissants. I will be looking for a better purveyor of baked goods.

I stopped in for a late lunch 2 pm after traveling, the gentleman making sandwiches was nice and when asked if they were still open, he said yes. but then the owner or Mgr said “ last order” very harshly and proceeded to ring up my $19 sandwich, chips, coke order, I asked if I could eat there but he said no we are closed so I had to eat samdwich outside at some benchs on street. not good customer service, wont be back. the sandwich maker did say thank you and was polite he shoyld be owner
There are a couple of things that I've noticed during my visit: when I got the bill, it wasn't itemized. I had to calculate each item that I purchased to make sure that I was charged accurately. There's also at least one fly hovering around our table while we ate. The man prepping our sandwiches was not wearing gloves. It was uncomfortable watching him use his bare hands as he touched the bacon and vegetables in the omelet. After he went on break, I saw another staff prepare food but with gloves this time. In summary, I don't think I'll go out of my way to visit this deli again.
Absolutely RUDE! When I called to obtain an itemized receipt for my boss, I was yelled at for interrupting him since he was busy and told me to call back at 2:00. I called back at 2:00 and he yelled at me that he told me to call back at 2:00 that he was busy. I apologized since I’m on the East coast and it was 2:00 my time. He RUDELY asked me what I wanted him to do and told they should have gotten an itemized receipt when they were there. He asked me the amount and told me some items that would come to that amount – still very annoyed and extremely rude with me for interrupting him.
