Delis near Berkeley

“This is a To-Go lunch spot adjacent to the Oceanview Diner. It's basically an entire separate restaurant with a different kitchen. I work on Fourth Street, and this my go-to place for lunch. I used to do Market Hall, but the food here is better and the prices are better, pretty reasonable for the bay. You can get a satisfying meal for ~$10 and a good snack for $5. They do a few things really well. All the prepared dishes from the glass case I've tried have been great. Some staples include lentils & feta, chicken salad, potato salad, and there's always a daily special that's been tasty every time I've tried it. You can also combo the mixed greens salad (+ tomatoes, pickled red onion, and dressing) with one of the prepared dishes, which makes for a light and fresh lunch. The middle eastern combo (hummus, greens, pita, dolmas, veggies) is a lot of food and a good deal; the empanadas are great for a snack, and you get some fresh homemade chimichurri with them. The "burrito" is kind of funny (you get two little burritos) but it's cheap and tasty. Tuna toast is a good snack as well. Last but not least, the baked goods are bomb. As I understand it, they have a few different bakers who come in and contribute to the pastry case. All the cookies and cakes I've had have been delicious. The lemon pistachio shortbread, brown sugar shortbread, lemon cake all transport me to a childhood I didn't know I had. All in all, the output of this place is truly impressive. There are so many different little elements to the lunch offerings, and everything appears to be homemade, even the pickles! I don't know how they manage it and run a full-on diner next door, but I'm grateful for it. It's got a locals-only vibe and can be pretty hectic at the lunch rush, but that shouldn't deter you. Also, you don't necessarily have to take it "to-go"; there's two high tops inside and some seating out front.“

“Affordable and delicious! If theres anything I can recommend it’s the chicken pesto sandwich on Dutch crunch. Their sandwiches are big, so unhinge your jaw maybe before you go in for a bite.Staff and service is friendly, nothing out of the ordinary. Counter service, know what you want before you step up.“

“Awesome new vendor in the kiosk that used to be Bi-Rite in the Civic Center Plaza (pre-pandemic). I've had 4 things here (napolitano, caprese and veggie sandwiches and beet salad) and they've all been fresh and delicious with a generous serving. The bread they use is soft and yummy, not too "bready" with a good bread:fillings ratio. My main critique is the pricing, which -- while in line with SF prices -- isn't going to be accessible to most of the local residents of the TL/SOMA. The gelato pricing starts at $5.99. With a playground right behind the kiosk, it would be nice if the prices were lower so a family of 4 wouldn't have to pay almost $25 to get ice cream on a nice day.“

“The service was great, clean and hygienic, the food was delicious, my friends and I enjoyed dining here and highly recommend it!“

“Always friendly, with great sandwiches and hot food. Also love that they have a selection of imported Italian foods!“

“Great job Nice people Excellent service“

“I stumbled upon these sandwiches while walking around Oakland. It’s a very traditional place with many years in the area. I didn’t know what to order because all the sandwiches looked great. The one I chose was delicious. Everything is fresh and tasty, and the service is excellent. If you go at lunchtime, it will be busy, but they are quick to serve.“

“North beach Italian sandwiches and Italian deli items.“

“Chicken and Bacon ranch wrap.😍“

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

“Dropped in for lunch - basically only 2 panini options each day (meat or no-meat). Solid sandwich on a nice, crusty baguette. Friendly service. Cute, small outdoor seating area. Would visit again if I was in the neighborhood. They do sandwich loyalty cards as well (free sandwich after 10 purchases).“

“Great place for a fresh cheeseburger!“

“Coming here for 10+years . Really happy they survived Covid. Nice to see familiar faces. The son is consistently kind,patient hard working! Always keeping this running for/with Mom and Dad. They must be proud. Thank you for all the great meals made with care!:)“

“This is the spot for a sandwich. Fresh, Clean, Quick and delicious. Staff is friendly and professional. This place must crank out hundreds of sandwiches every day. Highly recommend you give this place a try. Oh and Thursdays only they have there special tri tip sandwich which is also a must try.“

“The most tender brisket I may have had anywhere. 🥰🥰“

“I got the California as I usually do. It's so good hot and so juicy. Highly recommend coming here“

“The breakfast burrito is sooooo legit!!I read about it in the Chronicle and had to try it. It is tasty, not greasy, generous AND their little cups of red sauce bring it to perfection.A breakfast burrito and an Arizona iced tea by the water may bring you peace, and remind you why is it we live in the Bay Area ☺️

Vegetarian options: You can customize your order to have a vegan burrito ?“

“BACON EGG & CHEESE BAGEL.

From amazing bagel sandwiches to an endless variety of bubble tea and coffee to even coconut pudding, this cafe located in Chinatown SF is a must try when visiting. You can’t go wrong with Good Luck Cafe!“

“My friend recommended me this place so I tried their roast beef sandwich. The sandwich was good. The service was quick and friendly, making the whole experience even better. I will definitely come back to Angelo's Deli next time I’m in town.“

“everything is delicious!!1“

“Great food, fresh, organic, tasty. Reasonable prices. Friendly, helpful staff.“

“Deli 23 can take all my coins! The sandwich was filling and so delicious! The staff are friendly and respectful to their customers. They definitely get a lot of customers so it was crowded but I understand why. Would recommend again and again!“

“Not a whole lot that's worth stopping for in Martinez except for the Buon Aroma Deli. I was helping out my pal Patch Garibaldi lay out the Caromneedles for his new Higgins-Popstarter and he said he'd spring for lunch. Well! As long as it's Buon Aroma, I'm all in!5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Sweet old school joint with sandwiches, chicken soup, specials and sweets.First time for me, got the Teriyaki chicken special with rice and salad for $9.Food is fresh and tasty, the lady at the counter is very nice, a patron highly recommended the brownies, I may get them next time!“

“The staff here are so nice. They let me get a breakfast burrito right when they ended breakfast at 11. But also, it’s one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I’ve ever had - and I don’t even like Philly cheese. Their hamburgers are so solid too. My only critique is wishing they were open on the weekends but hey, everyone deserves a break I guess.“

“It's easy to overlook this little corner deli, but we got a quick & delicious Chef's Salad from them with hella toppings, as well as a satisfying fruit bowl. We'd also grabbed a premade spaghetti container, but were not impressed with the lack of meat and one-dimensional flavor that reminded me of alphabet soup as a kid.The owners are kind and helpful, we loved 2 of the 3 quick to-go options we'd gotten, and all of our food came in sizable portions. If I worked nearby, I'd happily hit them up for salads regularly (and I'm not even a salad person!). Ours was FILLED with yummy toppings- plenty of ham and other goodies to make it worth it. Give them a try if you're looking for an inexpensive, quick, and healthy takeout!“

“(Translated by Google) It is a place where you can feel safe to consume this product, especially they take cleanliness a Hygiene that is very careful, the staff is friendly I recommend them without saying more: God bless this place and all who work there .(Original)Es un lugar donde se pueden sentirse seguro para consumir este producto , sobre todo toman en serio la limpieza una Higiene que es muy cuidadosa , el personal es amable se los recomiendo sin más que decir : que Dios bendiga este lugar y a todos los que allí trabajan .“

“Great little spot in North Beach. The gelato selection and quality is top notch, and their pistachio cannoli are awesome every time.“

“We both orders omlettes and didn’t realise it was egg whites rather than the yolks but it was fine I really enjoyed them tho my husband said they were ok. Coffee was great too and the service was so good , it’s definetly worth a visit as prices are reasonable too. Staff are also very friendly“

“The person at the front was incredibly nice. I got to try their food through TooGoodToEat but I will definitely be back to try other things on their menu. The pesto pasta had great flavor and the grilled chicken was still juicy. The spring roll is a must try!“

“As a GF girly, I nearly screamed when I was told they have GF bagels. Tasted so good I went to order a second straight away. The shop is beautiful, tidy and all the products are fresh and well sourced. I’ll be telling everyone to check it out!“

“A must go to while in San Francisco. Best sandwiches and liquor selection. ❤“

“This awesome establishment is located in Union Square not the Financial District.“

“Kensington is a little town in the sky north of of Berkeley where the air is fresh the views are spectacular and you can get a delicious sandwich at Young's Market to satisfy that pang that good air always seems to encourage. A great place to see the Bay Area at it's most dramatic advantage.“

“Such a wonderful shop with super lovely, thoughtful staff. I was even having a problem with my shoe and the man I asked for (long shot) help was SO kind. Absolutely recommend for anything you need or kind people to brighten your day. A real gem.“
