7 Best Sandwich Shops in Alameda

“Fantastic sandwiches at this classic Italian deli 😋“

“This family-owned sandwich shop has been a neighborhood staple for over thirty years. The owner and staff are consistently kind, helpful, and efficient. While the menu is simple, it features a standout turkey salad sandwich, in addition to other classics like pastrami, roast beef, vegetarian, and egg salad sandwiches. Although parking can be a challenge, the food is well worth the trip.“

“Amazing food experience! I tried their brand-new meatball sandwich today, and it was simply delicious—the rich, flavorful sauce genuinely made me feel like I was dining in Italy. The atmosphere was so cozy and comfortable, making it a wonderful place to relax. To top it all off, the ice cream and coffee were absolute perfection. If you're in the area, Rose’s Sandwich is an absolute must-visit! - J&U“

“This place serves joy by the cup and happiness by the bite. The coffee? Bold enough to turn any morning around. The tea? A perfect hug in a mug, no matter the weather. And the pastries? Golden, flaky bites of pure magic that might just ruin other desserts for you. The vibe is cozy, the staff is friendly, and my taste buds are still doing a happy dance. 10/10, would abandon my kitchen for this place again.“

“Waterfront Deli in Alameda is a fantastic spot for a delicious bite! The waterfront views create a lovely backdrop for a casual meal. The menu features a variety of sandwiches, salads, and breakfast options that are all made with fresh ingredients. Their signature sandwiches are hearty and packed with flavor, and the homemade sides are a perfect complement. The staff is friendly and efficient, providing great service to ensure a pleasant experience. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or enjoying a leisurely breakfast, Waterfront Deli is a gem you won’t want to miss!“

“I've been coming to this market for many years. I tried the deli a few times in the past, but the service was horrible. There used to be two women working there who always had bad attitudes, which made me feel unwelcomed, so I stopped coming. However, a few weeks back I decided to check it out again, and I am so glad that I did! Ever since Elizabeth took over, the whole experience has been completely different. When you walk in, you're instantly greeted with a smile and asked how you can be helped. The food is fresh, made quickly, and the whole team is great! This is going to be a weekly lunch date for my husband and me now.“

“Great sandwiches (plus wraps were good too) and good staff!“
