You can't go wrong with whatever sandwich you choose here! Came here with the boy at a perfect time! Got there during the calm before the storm! Place is always nice and bright! The counter person was quick. And the soup and sandwiches were on point as always! The turkey was fresh and we LOVE their mayo! They were having a seasonal special with the french dip, so I had to get that! So glad I did! The sautéed peppers and mushrooms compliments the roast beef so well! The au jus was very flavorful! This is our old school go to spot! It's been a while! Just been busy! Glad to be able to reminisce with my son and so happy the quality's still there! read more

I was going to write a review after my last visit, but didn't realize I had previously written a review about the same observations! on this most recent visit, I ordered my usual farmer's chicken salad sandwich. picked up a few of the creamy french (sliced ofc), and a couple other baked goods in the case. drove all the way home only to realize that the chicken sandwich contained sliced turkey and was not what I ordered. I drove all the way back to Andersen's and they remade the sandwich. I picked one more creamy french, the very last in the case and teased the young cashier about comping it for my troubles. he laughed it off and said "tap when you're ready." sigh.. not that he was obligated to but a little customer service goes a long way. and these days, for what their sandwiches are looking like, they need to offer the best customer service possible! i've said it before, but I've been eating their chicken salad sandwich forever! but the quality just keeps diminishing. there used to be a time this sandwich came with alfalfa sprouts. that's no more. there used to be a pickle that came with all their sandwich orders. that's not more. but the most concerning thing, the chicken salad is BARELY THERE. as in literally, the spread barely covers the surface of the sandwich! they are skimping more and more on the serving. pretty soon this will be a vegetable sandwich bc it's composition is 90% tomato, lettuce, cucumber and onion and 10% chicken salad - no exaggeration! I kept looking at the sandwich like where is the filling?? and the sliced almonds which added to the texture so wonderfully? also barely there! I get the cost of everything is going up, but it's just not the sandwich it used to be. I wonder how much more they will skimp before they have to take the sandwich off the menu. it makes me so sad! on the upside they keep adding japanese items to the case and menu. and the oder Hispanic gentleman who made/remade my sandwich was nice. the only things that are keeping this review from dropping to less than 3 stars. read more

Got a cup of clam chowder from here and it came with a piece of sourdough bread! I love clam chowder and this one did not disappoint! It had chunks of potato and clam and had the right amount of saltiness! You can get a bowl for 1-2 dollars more, so if you are hungry do that! I only got a cup to portion control myself for lunch! Would definitely get this soup again! read more

Came in for a quick pickup of baked goods on a rainy day. The place is spacious and I saw people enjoying some sandwiches as well. There's a good variety of baked goods - types of bread, danish, pastries. I appreciated them having half portions of their loaves, makes it easier to sample the different flavors! Service was quick. Maybe I'll stop by for their other items another time! read more

I ordered on app " To Good To Go" I picked up during time frame window. Service was excellent and the bread and pastries were delicious. I paid $5.99 and well worth the price! This app gives me a chance to try other restaurants at a reduced cost and it is a surprise bag. This place was buzzing with customers and a very friendly atmosphere. It was welcoming and warm on a chilly November morning. I definitely will go and visit for a sandwich and soup reasonable menu prices. read more

Anderson Bakery consistently delivers an exceptional experience, offering a delightful selection of sweet breads, including strawberry shortcake, mango cake slices, and mango tart, mocha chocolate cake.

The ambiance is consistently pleasant, and the service has always been exemplary. read more

While the food is OK to great, I recommend skipping the fountain drinks, and don't go anywhere near the iced tea dispenser.

The family and I were craving for something small. We ordered clam chowder, pepperoni focaccia slice, and a BBQ chicken sandwich. BBQ Chicken sandwich ( 4 stars) Clam Chowder ( 5 stars) Pepperoni focaccia (4 stars) We noticed that the prices have gone up quite a bit. Overall, as a family we've decided to come back and try their other items. It's been a while since we've visited an Andersen Bakery. read more

I had not been inside an Andersen Bakery for many, many years. So, it seemed like time enough to try them again. We got a lemon tart (with nice presentation) , an almond croissant, and a couple of cookies, chocolate chip and strawberry shortcake. The lemon tart filling of lemon curd was wonderful, but the ratio of filling to crust was off; it needed more filling. And while the crust tasted fine, it was hard as a rock, cutting through it was amazingly difficult. The almond croissant was a big disappointment; although the pastry tasted good, there was a pitiful amount of almond paste filling. According to my daughter, the chocolate chip cookie was good. I really enjoyed the strawberry shortcake cookie; it was unlike anything I had had before, and I usually do not like thick cookies. I would definitely return for those cookies. read more

They bake their own bread every morning. I love their sandwiches. Some are made to order some are already made by 11 am . You can just grap and go if you have a short lunch or other errands to run . It has a wide selection of salads, drunks , soups , cakes and dessert. Indoor tables to sit and enjoy your meals . Service is good and efficient. This is one of my favorite bakeries. I love the Pan de champagne bread . I ordered the whole thing, ask then to slide it and then put in two separate bag . Price is under $7 . What a deal ! read more

I miss the crème brûlée in the size that it used to come in, the wider flatter pan. This smaller size makes the crème too thick and it was also overly sweet. read more

This past Sunday was the celebration party of my wife's birthday. I was told Andersen Bakery is a good spot to grab a couple of their small cakes so that there was a variety of flavors for people to choose from. I was the first customer there at 8AM so that I can grab the stuff & go about my day. There was a rush of people just like me looking to purchase baked goodies right when they opened. The reason for my two-star review is the for two main reasons: 1) They weren't prepared to open & serve. Lots of holes in the cake section, low inventory of baked snacks behind the main glass near the register and the coffee wasn't brewed and ready to go. They had no chocolate cakes and the cakes they did have looked like they've been sitting for a day or two. There was no baking going on in the back, which is what you'd expect from a bakery. Actually, you'd expect them to be there hours earlier getting prepped but that didn't seem like the case. I asked for a large coffee and the cashier had to go fiddle somewhere to grab a case of coffee that didn't taste fresh. How can you not have fresh, black coffee ready to go first thing in the morning at a bakery? 2) The pricing has really gone up. $26-$35 for a basic, small cake is expensive. There was nothing special about these cakes either; just your run-of-the-mill vanilla cakes with 4 strawberries on top. You'd think for high pricing you'd get better service & products but that's not the case here. I probably won't be back to this bakery in the future. Between the lack of selection, high pricing and mediocre tasting food & drinks, there are plenty of other bakeries that are operating at a higher level and deserving of my cash. read more

We love Andersen! The pastries taste great and service is quick. They have a sit down space, which doesn't have a "vibe" as such, but if you want good food this is a good place to be. I've tried a variety of tarts, pastries, breads and croissants and it never disappoints! read more

All I can say is they better step up their game if they want to retain their market share. Breakfast Bagel 2/5. Service 1/5. Very slow they have plenty of staff, most of the just chatting or talking about how someone didn't oreder enough supplies. Hope they step it up. read more

I use "Too Good To Go" (TGTG) app to try new things from places I want to try out for the first time, and was actually pretty impressed with the selection that I got the first couple of times. So on this third visit, I decided to try out their sandwiches (overdid it a little and got 4 sandos) and the "favorite" Jalapeño Cheesebread. One was featured at the store--"Spicy Turkey Italian" (see pic) which boasts a combination of Turkey, Salami, and Pastrami (ordered it on a baguette). There was absolutely NO salami or pastrami as you can tell by the pictures I took which looks totally different than what they also show on their website. I even deconstructed the sandwich hoping to find maybe a small slice or two. I wasn't about to drive back to get it right and the spicy mayo was pretty darn good. Then I took another bite and found half a pepperoncini... stem and all! Took it out and finished half the sandwich. Busy holiday season and whatever, right? So on to the fave cheesebread and felt something stringy after a couple of bites. Couldn't even see it at first (until I put it against a dark container) then found a long strand of light-colored hair. Here's my dilemma... I liked most of the things I've tried so far and even my son said he enjoyed his sandwich and it was filling so I don't want to bash them too hard, but I also don't enjoy eating stems or other people's hair. Granted they got pretty busy after I placed my order but I still expect to get what I paid for. Worth another try? Maybe I'll stick with TGTG stuff and not pay full price until I find something I truly can't love without. But will definitely point it out to staff If I visit again. read more

What a pleasant surprise! Corporate bakery still has its shine! Despite its size of operation (9 locations within the Bay Area), their pastries and bread are anything but cookie cutter. The delicious danishes, cheese breads and artisan loaves taste as good as they look and sound. From chocolate croissants to more avant-garde concoctions like pistachio or mango coconut pastries and ube brioche, you'll find something to try and love. Their classic baked goods are executed well - eclairs, croissants, scones, and brioches. Their experimental and seasonal flavors are divine. Desserts (cakes, pies, custards) are very tempting as well. This pristine location is easily accessible since it's right off the highway and has plenty of parking in its private lot. Sandwiched between big lot stores like Walmart and Lowe's in addition to the theater and other eateries close by, Andersen Bakery is a prime location to grab your breakfast or lunch or loaves to go with your dinner. Should you decide to dine in, there are plenty of tables and chairs. Serving coffee and teas alongside their pastries and sandwiches, you could stay here all day! There is complimentary wifi so you could also get some work in while you're dining about town. I was satisfied with the service of the staff as well. They were quick, patient and accurate with their order fulfillment. Overall, Andersen Bakery has always been a favorite of mine and through the years, they have continued to uphold their quality and service. This location in particular is convenient for many for a quick pick up or place to camp for a few hours. I like it and look forward to trying more of their goodies! read more

I've always seen this place but never been before. Came around noon and it was pretty empty, 3 worked and 2 people eating My review is based on a Too Good To Go pickup not an actual in store purchase. The Too Good To Go process were pretty simple, there is tons of parking. Just park, go inside and swipe your pickup and show them your screen and they give you your order. Took about 1 minute after a few moments of awkwardly just standing there go get the order as the order was ready to go. There was no hellos when entered so it was a bit awkward. The Too Good To Go order was $5.99 and I got a half a loaf of sliced white bread that was nice and soft, a apple pastry, a strawberry pastry and a roll filled with cheese and pesto (which for that price was a good deal compared to the prices that they are normally) I can't wait to come back and actually try some things, they have so many items to consider! read more

I tell people they can't go wrong coming to Andersen for no-frills meals any time of the day. Their bfast combo is more than affordable for what they give you.

He had the chicken sandwich & a hot cup of coffee that he thought was the best sandwich he has had that week. read more

Teach your cashiers some basic customer service like saying thank you and smiling. That girl u have up front Kaylell or whatever has zero training in customer service.

This was my first time at Andersen bakery. The service was great and quick since we got our sandwiches in less than 10 mins. The sandwiches were 10/10, from crispy fresh bread to fresh ingredients, you can tell from one bite. Same goes for the pastries, the eclairs were crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. you can definitely sit inside and eat or take out. The baker does look run down and not taken care of since they are using pieces of card board boxes to cover trash cans. read more

Its BLT sandwich is really good and its staff are really friendly, especially the one in the Oakridge Mall. Easy to find table, too. :)

I ordered a roast beef sandwich. I knew something was off when I picked it up. I bit down and tastee nothing but lettuce and mustard. Opened the sandwich to find I received a SINGLE slice of thin deli beef on my sandwich. ONE. Yes, I ordered the 1/2 Sandwich, 1/2 salad, but expected a half sandwich (1 full slice of bread cut in half), with decent proportion of meat to lettuce/filling. Instead, I got two full slices of bread, a single slice of meat, and a sandwich full of lettuce (whole sandwhich look, with what I'd argue was even less meat than you expect in a half sized sandwich). I was told by the employee that this was expected because it's "half portion." Stick to traditional half sandwiches vs trying to pull this off. It's ridiculous. Wish I had taken a pic. read more

Came here this past weekend and was mind blown on what occurred. Service was pretty standard, nothing to complain about. I order only three things: - French custard roll (sliced) - Spinach and Mushroom empanada - Jalapeno & cheese with polish bun 2 of 3 were good. They're my go-to but let me tell you something about this empanada. They asked if I wanted to warm it up and I said sure. But when eating, it was warm on the outside but cold inside? How? When it's been behind the glass pane? Unless they just took it out of a fridge recently. However, it was not only that, but the flavor was also bland. And this wasn't even the worst of it. As I was nearing the last 3 bites of the empanada, I felt like I bit into something hard. Even if it was the crust, it shouldn't of have been THAT hard and when I looked into it, it was A PIECE OF WOOD!!! Please see pictures attached. I could not even make this up. So many questions. If that was even a part of the spinach and mushroom mix, what is a piece of freaking wood doing in there?! Essence?! Aroma?! I can't believe it. Whoever is doing the QC in this place sucks and needs to be checked. Make sure you look into your food before you take a bite guys and if otherwise, avoid this place like a bland empanada read more

This place is gone downhill. It is poorly run and I regret ordering through Grubhub for the order was that was not even complete Last time I was there in the store and I saw really irritated customers that was doing pick up to take their food home and it was missing things I ordered a BLT sandwich, salad and desserts for a friend that was coming to join me for a nice lunch and there was no sandwich because the note show the worker forgot to put it in the bag I should've read the complaints on Grubhub where it shows people were missing items for their delivery The bread that came with the salad was stale. To top it off a bite into the salad spinach leaf made me gag as there was a giant hair, and the spinach leaf was wilted I will save my money for a reputable place. I'm really surprised this place is still in business. read more
