I had a wonderful experience here! Ordered The DNA Way and a side mac salad and they were both delicious. The sandwich was HUGE, great value for just $12.50. The staff even gave me a free bottle of water for my service dog, which was very much appreciated!! The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the music: it was quite loud and I found it very difficult the understand the cashier because of it. Looking forward to going back!

Stayed at hotel across the street and wanted quick early light dinner. The Spaghetti and Meatballs hit the spot and their bread is delightful. Friendly and warm crew. Thought prices were very reasonable.

We have been pescatarian for about 10 years now, so sometimes food options are limited. This is the BEST veggie sandwich I have ever had! The southwestern avocado salad was killer and huge. And Calicraft Coast Kolsch was delicious after 2 weaks drinking bland Carribean brew. It is only a 13 minute walk from the Comfort inn, and about a half hour walk from the harbour. Do not hesitate. I figure he coffee here is the 💣 as well 🤗

The tuna salad was spicy, so I removed a star. I am not into the spicy trend so please have a non spicy version for people who just need regular tuna melts.

I went to this place because of all the 5-star reviews and you know what; they are correct! It’s beautiful inside and out the staff is super friendly, maybe the most friendly in the bay area and the sandwiches are delicious. I got the turkey cranberry and was able to customize it and add the fixins I wanted.

Found this place while on vacation. Really warm hosts (family owned restaurant), slick and modern interiors, very nice sandwiches with fresh ingredients .. my family loved the california veggie (toasted), the garden (for just $8?!) and the caprese. Would highly recommend!

Nice place. Very clean and friendly. The staff was nice and pleasant. I had the Promo's Parmesan sandwich. It was good and the roll was soft and fresh.

First time here, had the French dip sandwich, it was good, the au jus was very tasty, slightly thicker than usual, the bread was okay, but would be better on a sourdough crusty roll that would hold the au jus better and not get so soggy.

Tried the portobello burger special. The lady at the counter was super nice, and gave suggestions. Then the owner (chef?) came by with samples. Food was really good, quick, and served hot!

Very big salads have to take them home but really bad no bathroom close to the deli. Have to walk long distance into the big office building next door.
