This guy knows how to deli!! He's the real deal and makes it a fun place to stop by! Homemade corned beef hash and eggs is my goto. My wife dies for the MazzaBall soup, gets 3 quarts to take home.
Continued excellence from Bob the deli king at the Tree of Life Monte Carlo last night. 125 people served lite bites-grilled cheese/tom soup. Nacho bar. Mini pizza. Pasta salad. Mashed potato bar. Veg cups. Fruit. beautifully presented and delicious. He gave exactly what we the hosts asked of him and more. And the number of staff was tremendous. They really outdid themselves. Thank you Bob for continuing to prepare for our events with your heart. Couldn’t have been better!

Asked for them to cater vegan options to go along with the options being served ( mashed potatos, tomato soup and desserts) for an event but instead got a box with a crappy veg sandwich on white bread and some sliced vegetables on the side. This is very disappointing. It's easy to make non dairy mashed potato's and non dairy tomato soup. It's also good to offer a vegan dessert option in this day and age Food For Thought needs to put more thought into accommodating different dietary needs.

This deli has very good food at reasonable prices but the owner has a terrible attitude. He recently instituted a credit card fee which previously didn’t exist. When I suggested he just include it in the cost of his product, he snapped at me that everyone is doing it which is not accurate. ( In his neighborhood alone, Butterjoint, Union Grill, and Ali Baba—- all a block away—- do not charge credit card fees.) I mentioned politely that he doesn’t have an add on for rent, heat, insurance. They are just the cost of doing business. He replied in a surly way that I did not have to come in. I think I will take him up on his suggestion and sorry I didn’t do it that day. I do not mind paying a fair price for my order. I do mind being treated rudely.
Response of owner indicates that he really doesn’t care what his customers think. Not a great way to run a business.
We wanted to go hiking and got a couple of sandwiches packed from here. The shop itself is quite cute, and the seating inside if you want to eat your food there. It was a Saturday morning, and I saw a couple of people enjoying breakfast. my friend really liked their corn beef and pastrami the last time I tried it and that is what we got. The sandwiches were amazing. we ate them hours later, but they had still not become soggy. Definitely recommend.

A great local sandwich shop in North Oakland. I enjoyed a half Pastrami with chicken soup, which hit the spot! The cashier was super friendly. I can't wait to go back and try something different!
