They serve solid sandwiches here! I ordered the tuna salad sandwich on squaw bread with the clam chowder soup. This was the first time I had seen squaw bread on a menu so I had to try it. The gentleman behind the counter recommended it for people who like whole wheat bread, and like it I did!
Unfortunately, I didn't see any warnings that the clam chowder soup had bacon, and I didn't realize this until I had already eaten some of it. Regardless, the soup was thick and flavorful although a bit lighter on clam density than I would have liked.
They had a couple of tables inside and outside on the patio. I was bummed to see that they used styrofoam for the soup container and cups and would prefer to use compostable products whenever possible.

Friends gathered for a Sunday afternoon bite, Retha greeted us warmly with a smile and a great how do you do. It was my first time and enjoyed a BLT on croissant, light and flakey with crunchy bacon, crisp lettuce, tomato and avocado. My friend had a turkey and raved about the chili. My other friend ate everything on the plate but the tooth picks. ? Will have to come back and try something else. We dined on the patio and enjoyed the sunshine. Thanks !

I love the small shop vibe. The sandwiches are really good, the potatoes salad is personally my favorite & for some reason I always have to have the carrot sticks. Perfect combo ??

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of dining here, and I was absolutely blown away by the staff’s thoughtfulness and kind attitudes. But the sandwich stole the show—it was nothing short of extraordinary. I genuinely believe it was the best sandwich I’ve ever had. It perfectly embodied everything a sandwich should be. I was so impressed, I couldn’t resist raving about it to my husband, his colleagues, and our extended family. This place is a must-visit and should be at the top of everyone’s travel list!
Eager to see if the magic was consistent, I returned today and tried something different. Once again, I was not disappointed. The symphony of flavors is a culinary experience I hope everyone has the chance to savor in their lifetime. To the owner and their incredible team: thank you for creating such an unforgettable experience. I hope I can visit again soon.

The most amazing soups and sandwich. They taste great, are made from whole foods, and honestly it's the best pastrami I've ever had. Will be back

Anytime I'm in downtown I'm always craving a sandwich from here. I love the pastrami on sourdough. One of my favorite sandwich spots. Highly recommend coming here.

This place is tiny. Literally 1 and a half tables inside. But it's a gold mine. The owner is the best. My daughter wants to make sure I tell everyone that her veggie sandwich, add turkey, was on point. She says she knew it was going to be a great sandwich as soon as she tasted the pickle. Even the day after her avocado and lettuce were still fresh! My turkey sandwich was also delish. Definitely going again.

The definition of mom and pop shop!
The Upper Crust is a small no frills shop with great food! I visited this location twice for lunch, and both times, it did not disappoint!
On my first day, I was hot sweaty and didn't want to make decisions! Luckily, Kerry, the owner, suggested an excellent combo of a French Dip Sandwich with Albondigas soup! Both were flavorful and left me craving for more. Kerry was super friendly and very attentive! I struck up a conversation with him after my meal, and he shared the sandwich shops long history!
On my second day, I tried the Hawaiian. I was very skeptical about pineapple in a sandwich, but it worked very well! That might be my new favorite sandwich!
I definitely want to come back and try their turkey and pastrami sandwiches!
If you are in the area, give this place a shot it will not disappoint!
