27 Best Delis near San Leandro

“My old pal Limney Gilbert got kicked in the mouth by one of Bucktoothed Mary's horses a month ago, and he's had his mouth wired shut since then. This morning they cut the wires! He asked me to bring him a ham sandwich and chips from the Joaquin Deli because he's been drinking all his meals from a straw, and he's ready to chew! It's my first time at the Joaquin Deli and I'll tell you what...it's clean, the ingredients are fresh as can be and the prices are right where they should be! The workers put the customers first, and not because the boss told them too, they do it as if they owned the place! Very refreshing in today's world! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“10/10 highly recommend! Great service, very clean place, sandwich was packed and delicious. I had The Godfather and wow!! Definitely will be coming back again“

“Over many, many years, I have gotten trays of cookies for events, lasagna for events, and sandwiches.

They're always consistently good, reasonably priced, very friendly, and there's a reason why they keep getting such high ratings.
Because they're that good!“

“Coming here for 10+years . Really happy they survived Covid. Nice to see familiar faces. The son is consistently kind,patient hard working! Always keeping this running for/with Mom and Dad. They must be proud. Thank you for all the great meals made with care!:)“

“I LOVE PIES & was HAPPY to find out out about this place! I tried 4 of them: Beef Pot Roast, Chicken Artichoke Pesto, German Beef & Mushroom, & All American Chicken. Thumbs Up to the Perfect Crust & Flavorful stew Fillings. Look fwd to trying many more 😋👍❤“

“Been coming here for years to get Italian treats and ingredients. Love their in-house parm/pecorino blend and little meats and cheese bits $1-$4 at the counter!
Amazing sandwiches of course, but best part is how warm and kind everyone is.“

“The service was great! The coffee here is also good.“

“everything is delicious!!1“

“Genuinely enjoyed the Grayson from the sandwich menu 😋“

“Waterfront Deli in Alameda is a fantastic spot for a delicious bite! The waterfront views create a lovely backdrop for a casual meal. The menu features a variety of sandwiches, salads, and breakfast options that are all made with fresh ingredients. Their signature sandwiches are hearty and packed with flavor, and the homemade sides are a perfect complement. The staff is friendly and efficient, providing great service to ensure a pleasant experience. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or enjoying a leisurely breakfast, Waterfront Deli is a gem you won’t want to miss!“

“Great place for a fresh cheeseburger!“

“Very fast, friendly service, chicken burrito made to order - delicious, affordably priced and hit the spot before I had to run. (It's very hot inside -- eat outside if the weather is nice -- I feel sorry for the staff who have very little ventilation.)“

“The staff here are so nice. They let me get a breakfast burrito right when they ended breakfast at 11. But also, it’s one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I’ve ever had - and I don’t even like Philly cheese. Their hamburgers are so solid too. My only critique is wishing they were open on the weekends but hey, everyone deserves a break I guess.“

“I've been coming to this market for many years. I tried the deli a few times in the past, but the service was horrible. There used to be two women working there who always had bad attitudes, which made me feel unwelcomed, so I stopped coming. However, a few weeks back I decided to check it out again, and I am so glad that I did! Ever since Elizabeth took over, the whole experience has been completely different. When you walk in, you're instantly greeted with a smile and asked how you can be helped. The food is fresh, made quickly, and the whole team is great! This is going to be a weekly lunch date for my husband and me now.“

“The breakfast burrito is sooooo legit!!I read about it in the Chronicle and had to try it. It is tasty, not greasy, generous AND their little cups of red sauce bring it to perfection.A breakfast burrito and an Arizona iced tea by the water may bring you peace, and remind you why is it we live in the Bay Area ☺️

Vegetarian options: You can customize your order to have a vegan burrito ?“

“Sweet old school joint with sandwiches, chicken soup, specials and sweets.First time for me, got the Teriyaki chicken special with rice and salad for $9.Food is fresh and tasty, the lady at the counter is very nice, a patron highly recommended the brownies, I may get them next time!“

“The most tender brisket I may have had anywhere. 🥰🥰“

“Great lunchtime gem in the downtown Oakland area. The service is great and friendly. I got a couple of plates to go. Service was fast and friendly. The pork dish was great but the chicken and tofu was even better! The tofu was perfectly cooked and the chicken was tasty! I did get there toward the end of the lunch time but everything still tasted freshly prepared.“

“My favorite corner store for when I need to grab some eggs or other random food items but don’t want to go through the hassle of going to the grocery store. The coffee shop inside is awesome too, I highly recommend trying the Turkish coffee with a pistachio roll or some other pastry.“

“I came all the way down to the Hayward Plextron Auditorium for a special showing of what is called the Blue Grand Tornanado that was picked up in the vicinity of Area 51 back in 1961 but I really wanted to see the Metellurgical Analysis of the materials, because none of the alloys used in its composition are from this planet. Then I'm going straight to the Winton Deli for just about the best sandwich in the bay area! The Winton Deli is always a 5 star experience! ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Hayward has always been a pass through town for me, that is until Brosco Bill and his little stab Coco de Avantè told me about Pick-A-Deli.
They claimed it's the best deli in the bay area! Well....That's a pretty tall statement, so I left my little hamlet of Napa and made the trek to Hayward to see for myself. When I get a request to visit a new deli I always order the same thing, a simple ham sandwich, and leave the rest up to the maker. I got my sando, and it was perfectly prepared, an even distribution of meat, perfect amounts of mayo and the dijon was well balanced, the sliced sourdough was a great accompaniment as were the chips and a crisp kosher pickle.
Is Pick-A-Deli the best deli in the bay area...No, Is it in the top 10, ...Yes!
5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Affordable and delicious! If theres anything I can recommend it’s the chicken pesto sandwich on Dutch crunch. Their sandwiches are big, so unhinge your jaw maybe before you go in for a bite.Staff and service is friendly, nothing out of the ordinary. Counter service, know what you want before you step up.“

“Nice lil panaderia that's got breakfast burritos, tamales, and tortas too. I got a coffee, a breakfast burrito, and an orange juice, and the orange juice was fresh squeezed! They got all the good Mexican breads and pastries too. Cool spot, nice friendly service??.“

“I ordered a birthday cake from this bakery, and it exceeded every single expectation. The flavor was absolutely incredible. It was perfectly balanced, not overly sweet. You can tell they use authentic ingredients. I have never tasted anything like this since living in the US. The customer service was also fantastic. I will absolutely be ordering from here again.“

“I don't know how many, but there are at least two Kelly's Delis in the East Bay that are located by Home Depots, so whenever I go to Home Depot I check them out.They have a variety of burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches and mexican food.I really enjoy their breakfast burritos which are made with hashbrowns, eggs, rice and choice of meat.They're decently priced and their team turns around orders relatively quick.“

“Best roast turkey sandwich.....and the fresh sourdough rolls are to die for!“
