Wise Sons Jewish Deli serves delicious food in a great atmosphere, making it a wonderful place to start your day. Their menu may be small, but they do a few things really well. From nice sandwiches and bagels to a great breakfast, their dishes are made to feel good. The team at Wise Sons Jewish Deli is always fast with the preparation of their meals, which makes for easy dining. Located on Octavia Street in the Hayes Valley neighborhood of San Francisco, this deli is one of three remaining locations in the city.
While the inside atmosphere is described as "meh," the outdoor parklet is clean and pleasant. Their bagels are the real star, being proofed overnight and boiled in malt syrup for a firm, chewy crust, and they come with a variety of toppings. The menu includes Signature Sandwiches, Toasted Bagel Sandwiches, Deli Classics, and more. One popular choice is the classic lox with cream cheese, capers, and red onion, which some customers have found to be among the better options in the city, though expectations may vary depending on prior experiences with NYC bagels.
During lunchtime, the deli offers a warm bagel sandwich overflowing with cream cheese and plenty of lox and capers, which has received positive feedback for its flavor. However, customers have noted some disappointment with the limited selection at times. The OG Reuben sandwich, griddled with Russian dressing, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on rye bread, remains a solid option, especially with the choice of meats like Pastrami, Corned Beef, and Smoked Turkey. Despite some mixed reviews about sides like potato salad, Wise Sons Jewish Deli continues to be a favored spot for satisfying meals in a lively neighborhood.
