13 Best Delis in Oakland

“Great place for a fresh cheeseburger!“

“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.“

“deli plain and simple! Sandwiches are made fast and they get some good ingredients- the thick cut of pepper jack cheese was a great touch. Airheads and Haribo gummies included in the bag for fun. There's a little community board inside to advertise and the people inside are kind and easy to talk with.“

“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 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 ?“

“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!“

“This place providing a delicious Italian deli sandwich. Has New Orleans/Lower Eastside Manhattan vibes. Quality bread. The Italian with no mustard. Oil and vinegar on the lettuce is the way to go. I enjoyed and looking forward to coming back. Benjamin made sure I got the order right. Shout out to him and this new spot. Live music on Saturdays too. Come by and check it out“

“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!“

“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.“

“I don't know how many, but there are at least two Kelly's Delis in the East Bay that are located by Home Depots, so whenever I go to Home Depot I check them out.They have a variety of burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches and mexican food.I really enjoy their breakfast burritos which are made with hashbrowns, eggs, rice and choice of meat.They're decently priced and their team turns around orders relatively quick.“

“Lately, an annual trip!Prices has risen as everything else, but the ham is a must.However, this year we tried the turkey.It was delicious too, but the glaze was too sweet.Bon Appétit!Happy Holidays and a safe, peaceful, healthy and loving New Year (2024)!“
