“Eunice Gourmet Café is a hidden gem! The coffee was amazing. I tried The Ash sandwich and was completely blown away fresh ingredients, perfect flavors, and honestly one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. I’m more than willing to drive the extra distance just to have it again!

The owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. If you’re looking for amazing food and a warm, inviting atmosphere, don’t miss out on Eunice Gourmet Café. Highly recommend!!“

“great sandwich. the best in the city“

“Amazing sandwich! Can’t wait to go back again to try more.“

“Favorite sandwich shop in SF. Can't say enough good things about this place! The guy who runs it is super cool, you can just tell he's a great guy who makes great sandwiches. Their chipotle maple aioli makes their breakfast sandwich one of the best in the city.“

“Found this place on the map and thought we would give it a go. Watched as they freshly made our sandwich, and we will be thinking about it for a long time to come. We got the ham and salami, packed with the fresh salads and mustard it was so good! I wish I was staying here longer just to get another one. 10/10 would recommend!“

“Really great service and amazing food. All looked and tasted fresh and delicious. We went back two or three times on the same day to get something else and something new. The gentleman who helped me bag my items and cashed me out took the time to ask what I thought about their service and food options, and made a genuine effort to greet me as a customer an make sure our experience was great. Can’t wait to go back to San Francisco and go back to Limoncello deli. Thank you for the great food and customer service!“

“I’m touring a condo in Oakland for a client making an offer and I stop for a quick bite at a tiny sandwich place next to the Grand Lake Theater. OMG, Unbelievable sandwiches, smoked meats, homemade pickles, peppers🫑 and memorable pulled pork, etc. I hang out for a few minutes while Jerry makes my Cuban sandwich, and he has me try their smoked bacon, homemade meatballs, and more. Jerry’s the best and I love this place. Can’t wait to tell my client about it!! Check out Modigliani Cafe, next to the Grand Lake Theater. #modigliani #localbusiness #Oakland #localgem #restaurant #sandwich #grandlakedistrict #holeinthewall #localjoint #bayareafoodie #pamparkerproperties #realtor®“

“Fantastic sandwiches at this classic Italian deli 😋“

“Good customer service and recommend it to people !“

“We had Rompiballe Sandwich and The Milanese Sandwich. Our favorite one was The Milanese Sandwich even if both sandwiches were very tasty. It was very fresh and we liked the harmony of ingredients. Service was fast and we didn’t have a difficulty finding a table. I felt like I was in a nice sandwich shop in Firenze. Thank you!“

“Chicken and Bacon ranch wrap.😍“

“The sandwiches are amazing. And the staff and owner are super nice. Give it a try.“

“Tasty chowder & friendly staff“

“I always walk by this place on my way to work ,but since it’s kind of unassuming, I never gave it a shot. Bad on me. I went the other day and ordered the chipotle chicken bowl…it was fantastic! Can’t wait to try other stuff out. The price is super affordable for the city and the service was very friendly. The guy gave behind the counter gave me a complimentary orange juice. I’ll be back for sure!“

“Incredible sandwiches. Fantastic portions/prices. The nicest people.

I get a make your own turkey sandwich on sourdough and it's probably my favorite sandwich. The sourdough is so good - chewy and flavorful and a great crisp on our outside. Roasted turkey is perfect, not too salty, all fix-ins are fresh. It's everything I want a sandwich to be!

On top of this, the sandwich is huge. I eat a lot so it's great portion for me but if you don't eat as much, you'll get two gourmet sandwiches out of $15 which is pretty amazing.

Lastly, the people are just so nice. They are patient and kind and thoughtful. They make you feel right at home.

If I lived closer this would be a regular weekly if not many times a week spot for me!!“

“Definitely a 5 stars for me! One of the best breakfast sandwiches we’ve had 👏😋 Loved the pork&turkey sausage in bagel and bacon cheese croissant. Mocha and caramel macchiato were mmm mmm mmm. The vendor was really friendly and accommodating. She suggested for a croissant bread for my mom so it will be easier to eat(softer). Thank you ma’am 😊

Too bad we weren’t able to visit again coz it’s a bit far from our hotel. This is a highly recommended hidden gem (literally) near cable car turnover powell. You have to go down to locate it.“

“Five stars for Heroic Italian! The Polpette sandwich and spicy tomato soup combo is non-negotiable. The food was phenomenal—hot, fresh, and seriously flavorful. The soup has a creamy texture with a nice kick of spice, and the sandwich is packed with delicious meatballs, peppers, and sweet caramelized onions. It truly is a perfect lunch spot, and you can enjoy it all alongside their expert wine selection. Stop in for a great meal!“

“Absolutely the best personal pizza experience! Gloria made me a Margherita pizza with pepperoni, and I nearly devoured the whole thing—it was that good! I usually come here for their fresh salads, especially the garden and the petit di Pollo. This spot is perfect for enjoying high-quality food, and I love unwinding with a glass of wine in the cozy bar area during late afternoons or evenings. The patio is also a lovely place to catch up with friends or coworkers over lunch.“

“4-grain loaf was fresh, hearty, sourdough-y, and flavorful. Cinnamon roll was flaky and buttery. Both things I tried felt homemade with care. I’m definitely coming back for the other bread offerings, including the pizzas!“

“Amazing Sandwich’s! Friendly crew! Great prices!“

“I got the special combo ham sandwich without cilantro and jalapeno - but I found a jalapeno in my sandwich. My partner also found jalapeno in #20 grilled pork with lemon grass even it was ordered with no jalapeno. Beside that complaint, the banh mi was really good! The bread is soft and crunchy without hurting the roof of our mouth and it's fully stuffed with the meats and veggies while being affordable!

Although the inside of the shop is clean and organized, the streets is seemingly sketchy and dirty looking so be cautious. It might be hard to find parking.

Otherwise, it's worth to stop by to try!“

“This place is amazing. I just wish the sandwiches weren't all $20. They're worth it, but it's a treat yourself thing. The sisig bolilo was hard to finish for 2 people, because they're was just so much in it! Amazing cut of fatty meat chopped up with 2(i think) juicy eggs. Their veg sandwich is also amazing. A true testament to a good sandwich doesn't need meat“

“5/5 Stars - Fantastic Find! Amazing cafe with incredible sandwiches! The bread was always fresh, and the fillings were generous and delicious. But what really stood out was the excellent service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend this place!“

“I can’t explain how wholesome and refreshing it was coming in the owners customer service is unmatched you don’t see much of that anymore disconnection is so common. The food also felt so home made and with lots of care the cooks look like and show that they enjoy working here. 10/10 would recommend to anyone an experience and great food. Thank you all!“

“Fuck'in delicious sandwiches!“

“Great family run sandwich shop with friendly service. I love the Alameda sandwich and homemade mac salad. I ordered ahead some sandwiches for and event and everything was nicely packed and ready for pickup at the requested time. My guests really loved the sandwiches, too.“

“what a cool place. the amount of community that is instilled here is awesome! great great food!“

“I've had a lot of sandwiches in SF, and Dagwood by far makes the best ones. I've head dreams about their sandwiches, that's how delicious they are. The people who work there are incredibly nice and actually care about what they're doing. 10/10 for me.“

“Better, cheaper, and friendlier, than the other place.“

“Looks like a a tall , green , corn chip dipped into a red salsa sauce. It does not have the grace of Flatiron in NY; and hence it relies on reputation of hosting a restaurant, Cafe Zoetrope, frequented by the great film director Coppola ; it’s a building that lives on the fame of another person. It’s a side show but at least it’s not an eye sore.“

“I used to live in the area. This place is just as it was 10 yeat ago. The same people working in the kitchen. The same grumpy old man taking the orders. Absolutely terrible service. But the food is the best. The pastrami sandwich is soooo good. Soooo good. Well the only thing that changed is the price. The prices did go up. I told the old grumpy man that was taking the order that his food was sooo good. He grunted and moved his head up and down once at the same time not even looking at me. Like I said terrible terrible service but the pastrami sandwich is soooo goooood. Thank you grumpy old man for a great sandwich.“

“Great oldschool sandwiches... get a small because the mediums are huge lol. Unless you're hella hungry.“

“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.“

“This place is fantastic. The food is superlative, I've had the Corned Beef and Roast Turkey sandwiches and they were absolutely delicious. The place is completely non pretentious but with top quality fresh ingredients that some hipster joints could only dream of delivering. I'm a stickler for corned beef, I'm from NY, they do it right here. No BS, good value. Only downside is it's take out only. Worth it.“

“Great place to visit sit and relax the sandwich and wine was fantastic and a perfect meal. The crew were very nice people. I highly recommend“

“Had "The Freak", best sandwich I've ever had. Thanks! ❤“

“we are from San Diego and found this place on yelp. The name itself peaked my interest. must say, sandwiches, spring rolls, Thai tea and Vietnamese coffee were to die for. will come back soon.“

“Ordered online & picked up at the front of the store at this time of social distancing. My daughter & I ordered mushroom bisque soup & sandwiches. Hazel's did not disappoint! We will be back 💜“

“November 2025:
Came here for lunch and shared a clubber sandwich and the spicy tuna salad 🥗. Both were very tasty.

The clubber is a huge sandwich with lots of turkey, bacon on a soft ciabatta roll. Would definitely get this again.

Salad had a large variety of ingredients. Miso ginger vinaigrette dressing was excellent 👍. Tuna tartare was tasty 😋. Would also get this delicious salad again.

Also took the smores rice crispy snacks. They were a bit stale 😢. Would not get this again.

Overall, liked my sandwich and salad 🥗. Would come back for more delicious food.“

“The BEST sandwich spot in SF. Not only are the sandwiches HUGE and delicious, but the owner is one of a kind. I felt like I was part of the family. All minorities should support this spot. Not whitewashed, not a chain, a real, brown small business. Watched the owner help our homeless neighbors in real time- this business really does support the community however they can. We will be coming back again for sure. Thank you, The Sandwich Place, we WILL be coming back. 100000/10. Not sure how this place isn’t viral yet.“

“really tasty sandwich and friendly staff“

“Best sandwiches and the wraps no complaints about the $ it's ok.“

“Owner at the counter is a middle aged man, very friendly which is great if you are looking for conversation while waiting for food. Pies taste great and have a homey feel to them. Prices are very cheap relative to the area. Totally recommend a visit, but don't forget to bring cash.“

“Friendly staff, every order is put together quickly.“

“Nice hole in the wall local shop, really good turkey egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a bagel as well.
They have multiple relatively quick breakfast options with drinks and tea/espresso options, Good customer service as well 💪“

“Build your own or get one of the already yummy subs 😋“

“I love their chopped salad and their lemon bundt cake!“

“The barbecue chicken sandwich is great. Comes with cilantro, carrots, cucumber, pickled radish and chicken. All served on a soft , yet crunchy french roll. This place is not to be missed. Around 11 dollars for a good size sandwich. A deal, and a delicious lunch meal. A few stools to sit on in the windows, or take it to go.“

“Super glad this place survived the pandemic.The staff are friendly, the shop has a classic feel that’s missing in most places, and the food! - you’ll never leave hungry. Even the regular sandwich size is well portioned. Bbq beef is my go-to.Love the smoothies as well. My favorite is the strawberry banana.“
