Frequently asked questions about Freshly Baked Eatery
Freshly Baked Eatery San Jose Reviews
The Freshly Baked Eatery sure slaps down a scrumpdidldlyumptious sandwich! Crazy Joe Lipinski took a few of us there for lunch yesterday.. and even paid, too! The sandwichs were Amazing! ☆☆☆☆☆
The best sandwich spot in san jose. Fresh and warm sourdough and fresh ingredients.
Been coming here for years, well over a decade….and each time it’s superb! Cash only, but they’ve got an ATM if you forget to bring some…the service is consistently quick, friendly and a reason to return…but the biggest reasons to return are their absolutely marvelous sandwiches….they start with freshly baked steaming warm bread, and all of the fixins meats n cheeses are fresh and aplenty. Solid drink selection, and one of DTSJs fun little secrets. For sandwich lovers, this is a fantastic spot.
Got the Pastrami sandwich with everything on it- costs 11$ and cash only (there is an ATM onsite). There are lots of good looking options so everyone could be happy there. Bread was freshly baked and very crunchy! Great tasting sandwich and would go back again. I think it's better than a place like Ike's. Everyone was friendly and they have lots of shaded seating outside too!
Small sandwich shop that's open 4 hours a day. However they are pretty solid with good prices. Very friendly staff with a pretty good amount of seating outside. Would recommend for sure, good vibes, good prices, and good food.
I can confidently say, that you haven't eaten a real sandwich, until you've tried one from here! I've tried sandwiches from every establishment out there, and nothing compares! Where can you find a sandwich place that bakes their own sourdough bread, and bbq's their own meats? I think there might be one other place in San Jose that does, but there is some type of connection to this location. Side note: the employees at the other place are not very friendly. I ordered the Russian, which is their roast beef and turkey on dark Russian rye bread and swiss cheese. I substitute the dark Russian rye for the fresh sourdough bread they make every 30 minutes or so. I'd say this crucial for the overall experience here. If you opt to get regular bread that you can get at any grocery store, you might as well go to Panera or Subway. The sourdough bread is so fresh, sometimes you can even see it smoking. It is always crunchy on the outside, and very soft and warm on the inside. This allows the bread to encase all the goodness inside the sandwich. They use their own special sandwich dressing, which is very light and not overwhelming. They are very consistent here, so you will never get a sandwich that is saturated with dressing. Since the all of their meets are bbq'd in house, the texture and flavor is amazing. Trust me, once you try a sandwich here, it will be very hard to settle for a Subway sandwich. Sandwiches are set at $11, but you will probably end up eating half, and saving the other half for later. This is hands down my favorite sandwich place in the bay area! Don't forget it is cash only.
You guys, THIS is the place. I work a few blocks away and have been looking for a good sandwich spot for lunch (there aren't many) and I have found my go-to in Freshly Baked Eatery. Fast service, fresh ingredients, perfect ratios of meat/cheese/toppings and the BREAD is fantastic. They are cash only but have an atm on-site. Highly recommend.
This hidden gem has THE BEST sandwiches in San Jose. Back in college, everyone in Greek row called it the “secret sandwich shop” because of its lowkey profile. I usually get the classic for the 3 different meats, but you really can’t go wrong with any sandwich. The sourdough bread also comes out steaming hot is mouth watering good.
Very delicious freshly baked sandwiches will definitely come back first time ever try these sandwiches and was not disappointed I highly recommend to any friendly staff to.
Really awesome, especially delicious sandwiches on the freshest baked-in-house sourdough bread. I had their pastrami and it was the best I've had in years. Very fast and friendly service! Do yourself a favor and check out this hidden gem. (FYI cash only but atm onsite)
Wonderful tasting sandwiches with freshly baked sourdough bread from oven. I got the pastrami sandwiches with provolone cheese. There are many kind of meats options. All sandwiches cost $13 each and cash only , ATM on-site. There are very clean and everyone was friendly and good service. Definitely go back again! 😊

Beat sandwich I’ve had in a while! Fresh bread! The staff is great! Will be returning!
Very delicious freshly baked sandwiches will definitely come back first time ever try these sandwiches and was not disappointed I highly recommend to any friendly staff to.
I used to come here all the time in college. Today I got the opportunity to stop by again after 10 years and was pleasantly surprised to see the same familiar faces serving sandwiches with a friendly smile. My go to was always the number 6, and today it was as good as ever! So glad to see you guys are still the great place I remembered. Can’t wait to visit again soon!
Memorable. I am from Chicago and we’re strict with food. This was exactly what you need in life. Bread steaming hot and fresh. The meat and topping ingredients are fresh and totally worth the price. Large sandwiches enough for two people. The atmosphere is cute and quaint, the art is simple and beautiful and the owners and staff make the experience authentic. So kind and gracious. Definitely personable. Stop reading this review right now and check this sandwhich shop out.
This sandwich shop has consistently stayed in my lunch rotation for the past 5 years. Cash only, great price, quick, & opened during weekday working lunch hours. I get the turkey & salami and add chopped banana peppers— so good!! I appreciate the same people always greeting me with a warm smile. I’ll miss the sandwiches when I move. :(
This is a great place for a delicious sourdough sandwich, pickle, chips and a beverage. The staff are super nice and the sandwiches have fresh baked bread and generous ingredients. You'll love it!
Always a quality sandwich. Great customer service. The family that owns and Operates this are fantastic. Super friendly and greet each customer like they are family.
High quality ingredients and absolutely the most delicious sourdough bread. The owners and staff are great too!
Owners there always having a good time. Super welcoming environment and the bread is incredible. Dont sleep on this spot. Get it while its hot.
Easily the best sandwich I’ve had in a long time. I lucked out having this spot as the closest sandwich shop to where I’m staying. I was greeted right away by a friendly staff member who let me know they had fresh, warm bread ready to go—off to a great start. I can be pretty particular about my sandwich fixings, but they took down every detail without missing a beat and assured me it’d be right out. That’s when they mentioned it was cash-only (which I didn’t know), but thankfully there was an ATM right inside. By the time I grabbed some cash, my sandwich was ready. The crunch, the meat, the sauce—absolute perfection. Huge props to the whole team. I’ll definitely be back.

In town from Chicago to get my son settled in for college, and was googling looking for a place to have lunch. Read the reviews about the fresh baked bread and made this spot my choice, and it definitely didn't disappoint. The fresh baked bread makes the sandwich. They definitely use quality meat brand boarshead, and fresh fixings. I will definitely be bake each time I visit.

Great sourdough with Boar's Head meats. Local small shop. Friendly owner and staff. Cash only. They have tables with tent outside if you want to eat there. Straight forward and quick service. Either order in person or call ahead. They set up a one-way flow so you enter from the side and exit another way. Everyone was wearing masks and gloves.

Great sandwiches, but you can get great sandwiches at other places that cost less and include a combo. Also it's cash only, inconvenient but not enough to not go.
