“ Best pulled pork sandwich Ive had in a while. Staff is super cool and friendly. Easy pay options and super quick turnaround. ”
“ I got the fried egg sandwich with turkey and tomato and it was literally the best breakfast sandwich ive ever had in my life. if i could give this place 100 stars i would. loved it here and highly recommend it. food came quickly and servings are nice, you could share this sandwich but you wont want to. worth every dime ”
“ Friendly staff. The 12 SANDWICH 12 SALAD combo is a great deal for only 12. Very good value. I love that they cut the sandwich in half. It was tasty. The bread was nice and crunchy. I eat small portions and half of the half was filling for me. I can only imagine how big the full sandwich must be. I look forward to trying their Iced Latte and Iced Mocha, in the future. Its nice to see Half Half offered as a milk alternative. I prefer my iced drinks Breve. ”
“ Had a really great sandwich today, the pork adobo. Service was very nice, I ordered ahead of time and they had it ready to go when I arrived ”
“ Fresh brewed coffee, and a fantastic breakfast sandwich! Simple place with minimal seating in front, but fantastic food in the back. If the breakfast sandwich and coffee dont buckle your knees , Im afraid to venture at what would. ”
“ they offered to make a vegan sandwich! it was absolutely bomb. perfectly toasted bread, arugula, cranberries, onions, almonds, balsamic, i forget what else.. but it was GOOD. super friendly and quick service. of course, i love the story behind the place and what they stand for, too. my only qualm is that they still have a covidstyle walk up window, which i wouldnt mind if it were for health concerns, but they asked if i wanted to sit inside, so i dont get the point... it seems unnecessarily inconvenient it also meant i couldnt go in put my own milk sugar in my coffee it was still tasty, but i would have preferred more milk, my tummy gets upset by coffee easily lol ”
“ Great little cafelunch spot in Oakland. Sandwiches were so tasty and the staff were super friendly! We ordered the half sandwich and half salad combo and the prices were so reasonable. Perfect amount of food . My son had the pulled pork adobo sandwich and I ordered the soppressata with mozzarella and we were both so happy with our meals. Limited space for dinein but I still highly recommend! ”
“ Amazing fried egg breakfast sandwich. Delicious ingredients served on a fresh baguette. Very good pour over with their house blend as well. On top of the delicious food and coffee, the owners of the shop are truly kind and caring people. ”
