Got a spicy pork sandwich for $16 and was a bit disappointed. Didn't enjoy the bread that much and it had more carrots than meat.

This place is a gem. A true FiDi institution. My go-to spot for a morning muffin and coffee for 25 years! Sandwich’s are great too. This place IS San Francisco.

Looks like a a tall , green , corn chip dipped into a red salsa sauce. It does not have the grace of Flatiron in NY; and hence it relies on reputation of hosting a restaurant, Cafe Zoetrope, frequented by the great film director Coppola ; it’s a building that lives on the fame of another person. It’s a side show but at least it’s not an eye sore.

This place should be rated higher. The corned beef was amazing. Will be back to try everything else.

Five stars! I'm in love with the barbecue short rib sandwich. The meat was incredibly tender and flavorful, and the sauce was perfection. I'm officially obsessed! Plus, the service was fantastic. Highly recommend this sandwich shop to anyone looking for a delicious lunch.

Tried the lamb and eggplant sandwich; it costs $16 and it tastes strange (I.e. not good).Heard good things about the short rib and roasted beef sandwich. Will try next time.

Love this cozy streetside shop. Reminds me of NYC. Get a hefty and tasty breakfast sandwich on focaccia for a hefty price but well worth it. Blueberry muffins are bomb. Wish there were drinks besides coffee but there is a shop just down the street where you can get some Martinelli’s. Bada bing bada boom.

Breakfast Sandwiches for great value!Huge fluffy focaccia bread (sandwich is partly eaten in the photos but the full sandwich filled the entire to-go box)Warm, melted cheese and delicious eggs and ham.Pesto was nice. Would’ve liked hot sauce, but all in all, a nice hot sandwich for $12 (tax included)

This place has always had steep competition with working girls and now the bird, but it is unique among them with the simple artistic elegance of its sandwiches. The simple descriptions bely deep thought on ingredients combinations. The turkey for instance is sandwiched between a spicy chipotle mayo and a sweet and tangy cranberry jam and everything in between is designed to make you go from craving the spicy of the mayo to the sweet relief of the jam. The roast beef by contrast has nothing unusual, but it is designed to cater to lovers of roast beef with its piles of delicious rare meat being emphasized above all else. The fermented pickles they serve on the side come with slivers of fresh dill that flavored them, they aren't too salty or vinegary.
