I thought I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and veggies. This is what I got. Perhaps I made a mistake in the details when I ordered (doubtful) but you would think someone would check to see if I meant to order a dry bagel with cucumber and tomato. I won't be back.

TGIF Everyone! After a walk around the lake, we decided to take a little break.We headed up to the Kaiser Rooftop Garden , after getting some yummy food from North beach sandwiches (located on the lower level on the Bank of America.) It was such a beautiful place to enjoy lunch!? Thank you @sandwicheezusa for a yummy and relaxing lunch date.Ps. They’re open from 7:30-3:30 .

This is a hidden gem for sandwiches in Lake Merritt area. It might be tricky to find the place since it's inside the building with US bank. They share the same store with Peets' coffee too so you can grab your coffee if needed. We had Buffalo Chicken, Las Vegas Reuben and Godfather in small size but let me tell you, the sandwich is huge and the price of it doesn't do the justice. I think a small size is already a big lunch for me. All of them were so good and you can choose to either have a picnic table outside in the park across the street or stay inside the store. Totally recommended if you're looking for a convenient yet great breakfast or lunch option.

Very good place! Definitely a hidden gem across from Lake Merritt. The food is fresh, they prepare it fast, and the workers are very friendly! I always get the California Turkey Wrap but my coworkers have gotten their hot sandwiches and they love them. The picture does not do it justice.

This is a great lunch spot. Quick and delicious! Love the variety of sizes and ability to customize. Clean and friendly staff. Definitely recommend!
WHEN: Thursday @ 11:40am I was in the area and decided to stop by to grab a quick lunch. I went to their yelp elite event recently and I remember their sandwiches are so fresh and delicious. WHAT I ORDERED Turkey pesto on white bread Buffalo chicken on sourdough Total : $19 Each sandwich costs around $9. The sandwiches are freshly prepared, the bags felt hot when we got it. It was a very quick service, I was in and out within 5min.

The full name for this small soup/sandwich/salad chain is North Beach Sandwicheez. There are 4 locations - 3 in Oakland (Downtown City Center, Kaiser Center and Jack London Square. There's a fourth location - San Ramon. This event was held at the Kaiser Center location. This Yelp Elite event ran from Monday, April 12 through Friday, April 16. My wife and I went at 1 PM on the second day of the week-long event. It was not crowded at all and service was super fast and the staff was really nice and patient with us newbies! Finding the place turned out to be fairly difficult. First, we didn't realize it was housed inside the Kaiser Center Building. We I used our GPS to get us to the street address but there were no signs or indications of the actual location. Therefore, I pulled into the multi-story Kaiser Center Garage, parked and proceeded to find the elevators to get us to the Main Lobby so that we could ask someone. We finally found it and it turned out to be just a short, 50-yard walk from the reception desk. The menu is fairly simple. They offer sandwiches, salads and Wraps. The sandwiches come in 3 categories and 3 sizes (Mini - Small - Regular) - Classic ($6.50/$7.25/$7.95); Signature ($7.95/$8.50/$9.50) and Hot, Oven Toasted Sandwicheez (small - $8.25/ regular - $9.15). "Classic" includes Turkey Breast, Roasted Chicken, Pacific Tuna, Pastrami, Roast Beef and Italian Ham. "Signature" includes Sinatra (ham, salami, Italia Mortadella, Provolone and cheese), Tuna Melt, Monterey Chicken, Roadhouse Beef, Turkey Bacon Club, Hoagie, North Beach Turkey and Godfather. "Hot Sandwicheez" include Turkey Pesto Melt, Chicken Florence, Buffalo Chicken, Super Avocado BLT, Hot Pastrami & Swill, Hot Roast Beef & Cheddar, Texas BBQ and Las Vegas Reuben. And, they do offer vegetarian sandwiches, as well. We brought them home - a 40 minute drive. Mine were still warm but I put them in our air fryer on high for a few minutes and they turned out great! I recommend doing that for any of the hot sandwich items. My wife got the "Sinatra" and I got two Sandwicheez items - a Hot Pastrami and a Las Vegas Reuben (I like Pastrami). My wife reports that she liked her Sinatra. I ate 1/2 of each of my two choices and I also enjoyed both of my sandwicheez items! The bread was very fresh with a nice tender interior and a nice crunchy exterior. Tip - instead of parking in the Kaiser Center, save yourself some money and park out on the street or have your spouse or friend go in to get them. If you do park in the high-rise parking structure, be sure to take note of the parking floor and section and take the ticket with you because you must pay for your parking before returning to you vehicle. And last but not least - THANK YOU SANDWICHEEZ, EMMA AND YELP! It was a fun experience and we enjoyed our interaction with the friendly and efficient staff! Fortunately, there is a store location (San Ramon) within a few miles of our house. There, I will try out other menu items in the near future! Jim

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the sandwhich at this place. I love a good sandwhich for lunch and I am always on the lookout for a go to spot in different areas since I am usually in a hurry due to my work. I was in the area and came across this place and to be honest, I wasn't expecting much based on it's location. It's nestled away next to the parking garage in the Kaiser building across from the lake. Not knowing where to park I drove around for a bit until deciding on a side street nearby. I would avoid the parking garage because they charge $4 for every 30 minutes. Once I finally made it in due to work being done outside I instantly spotted 2-3 sandwiches that looked really appealing. I decided to go with the Sinatra which was an Italian sub. After chatting with the cashier for a bit and complaining about the difficulty on the accessibility, she pointed out an area right outside that most people park briefly to run in and grab their order. Now that I know that, I will phone in my order going forward and can get in and out quickly. As for the sandwhich, It was excellent. The bread was very good, I'm assuming it was freshly baked, it sure tasted like it and they were pretty generous with the portion of meat. I was actually full afterwards which was also surprising. There are a couple other sandwiches I wanna try and maybe next time I'll walk over to the lake and enjoy. I wouldn't plan on coming for your first time if you're in a hurry but once you know the layout and parking situation, I'm sure you'll be pleased. I know I was.

I visited this spot one day during lunch around noon. It wasn't bustling, but a small line and a couple of people were waiting for their food. There was parking along Lake Meritt, which means you'll walk maybe 2-3 min which isn't bad. The nice thing is you can take your lunch to a bench or picnic super easily without worrying about your car or finding additional parking. The parking around the spot is 2 hours and there is a parking garage nearby as well. The sandwich shop is tucked into the corner of the building and very easy to miss. There is construction going on around the building, which makes it look like the place is not accessible, but it is. For example, there are signs on the outside lobby doors that say 'doors temporary out of order,' but they totally work. I built my own sandwich with provolone cheese, pesto, chicken, bacon, and salt-n-pepper. I got it on white bread. It was perfect. The ingredients tasted fresh, and they didn't skimp me on the chicken or bacon. The bacon was super crispy, just the way I like it. The white bread was hearty and thick. Next time I'll ask them to toast it because the bread was a bit overpowering. I also got a chocolate chip brownie, which was SUPER rich and yummy. It was moist and cake-y and not chewy. The flavor profiles were all there. I also got a fountain drink. There were assorted chips available as well. The menu is extensive and some of their sandwiches looked really good. They have both toasted and cold sandwiches. I liked my build-your-own. For a sandwich, drink, and brownie it was about $15 which isn't too bad. The sandwich could've been two meals honestly. I saw someone who ordered a salad and it's also quite large. They don't skimp you which is really nice. I look forward to coming back.

Got 2 sandwiches here for lunch, for takeout. The Roadhouse sandwich has pastrami and roast beef. I had it warm, with a sourdough roll. The sandwich was well put together, not messy. The sourdough roll was incredible, with a nice crust on it. The Las Vegas Reuben was also well put together and tasty. We're not usually in this area, so not sure we'd be back soon. But not because of food quality! We also got fountain drinks. Since COVID time started, haven't gotten our own drinks, so, over a year. So weird to do so again! The owner (?) and staff were very pleasant. Nice place, and will be better when more people are downtown again, and can eat in.
