Today I was having lunch with my pal Bernie Bosco and his little stab Beenie, and they took me to the Sandwich Zone Deli. What a great delicatessen, the selections and quality of the products are amazing!5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

I like that they are open very early. It would be awesome if they had a more decent coffee. Nowadays with the capsule machines you can get pretty good quality...

Great lunch spot. Italian sub was a beast of a sandwich. The portions were great and the bread had a uniquely sweet taste. Would absolutely recommendEdited: Stopped again the next day. Did not disappoint

Great food. I got the Italian sub and it had a generous portion of meat. Bread held up well with the Italian dressing and had a sweet taste, which complemented the ingredients well. Would definitely recommend.

This is a $9 bagel.. when I tell you these people are on crack, smh beyond dissatisfied and disappointing. My first and last time eating here. I tried to support a local small business that's down the street from my job and this is what I get. Save your money and go to Pete's there's wasn't enough night salmon to cover the bagel. A complete scam.

This is a pretty good place to grab a quick bite for lunch. The people at the counter are nice and sandwiches are freshly made. Depending on the sandwich, they usually come out warm. The wait isn't too long, but it also depends on how many in-person and online orders are ahead of you. There are a bunch of options for sandwiches and a build-your-own option if that's of your liking. My go-to is always the chipotle chicken sandwich which is very tasty! The prices are reasonable and the portions are quite filling. Just be aware that there's a 3.99% credit card charge regardless of how much you spend, so try to bring cash if you're planning on coming here. Another note to add is that the UC Berkeley Perimeter Line bus stop is right in front of Sandwich Zone. If I was lucky I would just catch the bus to get to my next class after getting a sandwich.

Love this place. Bread is always fresh and ingredients as well. They are not stingy with meat either, perfect ratio and lunch every time (: oh and owners are always super sweet.

I've loved sandwich zone for at least 10 years now... and continuing. They make simple but consistently delicious sandwiches that are decently priced. If you want to support a mom and pop shop, this is the one.
I have recently been on an adventure to try every sandwich place around Berkeley and Sandwich Zone has ranked up in my top 5! It's a small storefront but has an upstairs area with tables. I got the Richard Dagwood and the sandwich was packed! Bread was really soft and ingredients were fresh. The food is reasonably priced. I recommend bringing cash because there is an extra charge (3.99%) for using a credit card. The owners are the kindest people. I went near closing time with a group of friends on a Friday and the man brought out a tray of cookies for us :)

Was awesome! Need to come here more. Hidden gem. Very friendly staff. Don't judge a book by its cover. Turkey bacon avocado Dutch crunch toasted. Verrrry nicccce

Unassuming little spot. Very reasonably priced. Super friendly owners. I love love love the breakfast burrito because it's so tasty and uncomplicated and it's under $6. All their sandwiches are good. So is the iced coffee. Get in the zone, breh.

I LOVE this mom-n-pop sandwich shop. First of all, the owners are the friendliest people, so kind and they really add a bright spot to my day when I stop in. They remember their regulars! And the sandwiches are SO good -- phat sandwiches bursting with tons of fresh crunchy veggies. All for under $10 bucks!! It's practically impossible to get lunch for under ten dollars these days, but this place is reliable for good food, plus fast and friendly service. If you're in downtown Berkeley and want a great lunch, do NOT go to Subway across the street -- come support this hometown gem, Sandwich Zone!!

Came with a large group and they were happy to accommodate us. The owners were super kind and brought out a tray of free cookies for us as well. Sandwiches were easy to eat and really filling :)
