22 Best Sandwich Shops in Oakland

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

“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“

“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®“

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

“This has become one of my go to spots for lunch. the staff is incredibly friendly and feels like a family, the sandwiches are delicious and filling, and the prices are great! I love the brisket and italian trio. try one of those once and you’ll keep coming back regularly like i did. highly recommend!“

“Best cheesesteak in California, and I’ve had plenty over the years. The ambiance, for me, was childhood in the 80s in the hood, even with the greasy ms pac-man on the side. It’s behind Valero, unmarked building, that looks like a motel. The meat is high quality, service is efficient, cash only, puts flavor. One of the real-it’s places in Oakland.“

“But...First I'm stopping at the Primavera Delicatessen! I was on my way up to Broadway Terrace to pick up Foster Grant the Warthog, he's been kinda in the dumps because he's all alone, he's got his pitbull buddies Rayban and Maui Jim but it's not the same. What he needs is a date night, so I'm taking him back to Napa for a hook up with Rosie O' my girlie Warthog, he's gonna come back to Broadway Terrace in a month or so, he'll be all scarred up and sore but he'll have some stories to tell his pitbull buddies that's for sure!
I'll tell you...that Primavera Delicatessen sure hits a homerun sandwich...I'm talking Grand Slam!
5 stars all day long! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“everything is delicious!!1“

“This sandwich shop was hard to find at first, but once you know, you'll never forget it. This shop shares its space with the Loards ice cream shop. I ordered their Hot Butt sandwich which was unique and tasty! I do wish they could offer sourdough rolls as a bread choice. As far as their service, they were super friendly and helpful and the shop was clean and bright. I'd come back to try their other creative sandwich choices!“

“Excellent Sandwiches. Can't wait too try other things on the menu. Service is great but the place is out of the way on a side street. If the location was closer to jack london square I would think they would be alot busier. I found Montes only because of the sandwich board on the corner of 3rd street. Definitely a must try if your in the Area. The Chicken Pesto Is the Bomb!!!“

“Love it here! This place feels exactly like Vietnam. All the uncles hanging outside drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes while the women are inside working hard! ?
Coffee is strong and delicious and the banh mi is excellent with fresh bread. Super affordable. CASH ONLY“

“Delicious California Wraps-turkey, avocado, tomato and pesto-yum“

“Ok good people. I’m highly recommending this cafe for their salads so far...I’m excited to try their sandwiches next. Let me just tell you all I am hard to satisfy lol. I’m 100% happy and satisfied. I had to call and tell the lady how good my salad was. I’m sold. New favorite salad place. I could just slap someone’s momma ?? thats how good my salad was. ? Happy customer alert!! ?“

“Foods pretty good here, but I come for their coffee! It’s decently good if you like sweet and strong Vietnamese style coffee. Best part is that it’s consistent bc it comes from a jug, premade. I’m not a coffee snob but I do like to explore different coffee joints and lee’s is always consistent.“

“t The food is fantastic. Especially easy to grab and go after work. Try a couple entrees to share. Yummy.“

“At no fault of there's the coupons in the app should be able to get used at the store and not just mobile. I like subway service was ok. It's a little disheartening that they have to be barricaded by a thick glass. Was worried about freshness... but it's fresh. The ladies were sweet.

“💣 seriously the best sandwich!“

“I was born and raised on the East Coast, where grinders were invented, and this is the best grinder I’ve had in California.

The owner is pleasant and super friendly. It’s great to have a no nonsense straight shooter who takes his business seriously. He provides a service to this community and needs an award.“
