The Saint Sandwich Shop

Great customer service 👍

Yeah, this place is legit. GREAT tasting sandos (and cookies) so thank you very much to the crew behind the counter for that!

Let me tell you about The Saint: This sandwich shop is tasty enough to be a destination, but I am lucky enough to live right around the corner. I see some people saying it’s overpriced. I cannot disagree more. Ingredients are as fresh as can be, portions are incredibly generous, and for $16 you get a sandwich that normally lasts me two meals. It’s a twenty dollar sandwich. They are great neighbors and kind people and I wish them the best. No notes five stars hell yeah.

Super delicious 😋!!!

The sandwiches, while good, aren’t good enough to justify the rude staff.

I have had this spot on my list of places to try for a while now and I'm kicking myself for not getting here sooner. The sandwiches were Devine. I had The Saint and The Beast. Both were absolutely loaded with delicious deli meats and toppings. I would definitely recommend The Saint for the classic deli style flavor. This spot will definitely be in my regular rotation moving forward.

Found this place on google maps by chance when looking for a deli sandwich in Oakland. Still thinking about the next time I can get their namesake sandwich The Saint. And the spicy turkey club special they had that day was exactly what I needed on that rainy day.

Delicious fresh bread (and also bread less modifications to people seeking that option) super fresh ingredients. All the flavors went well together. They also have chips, sodas, bottled water, and potato salad and mac salad sides. You can pick from their menu, or request your preferred sandwich recipe.

Store front is quaint and calm interior. Would’ve totally eaten there, but got meal to go. Appreciated the old school video game/joystick setup for one quarter to play while I waited.

I was just over at the Food Mill looking for this and that..didn't find either one, but on my way out I glanced over at The Saint Sandwich Shop and remembered when Oscar Mendoza told me about the great sandwiches they put out, so I went over and got a chicken salad sandwich...it was so good, I got another! 5 stars for each one!

Sandwiches are pretty darned good, if a little spendy. The vibes are great and they have a parklet.

But as a person eating sandwiches for 50 years, please don't put sandwiches in a box where they slide around and fall apart. The toothpick doesn't do much to hold it together. This happens with every sandwich I buy there. Sorry I didn't think to take a photo this time, I wrapped both halves in parchment paper for a flight.

Please wrap the sandwiches in butcher paper. There's a reason this is standard. It keeps the sandwich together and the paper can be composted. The boxes they use are common food service takeout containers and they have a thin layer of plastic in them that makes them non-compostable. They can only be recycled. Which means you need to wash out the food, wait for them to dry before recycling.

The sandwiches are huge. They are a five. The service was a bit surly, but the beastly portions made up for it.
