I have wanted to grab a sandwich here for years. I finally was able to make it happen and can't wait to go back. I ordered 1/2 tuna and 1/2 egg salad on sliced sourdough, with all of the condiments except onion. The nice man, must be the owner, told me that sandwich is called, the Scandinavian. I had no idea it had an actual name. The man shared one of his customers will only eat that sandwich. It was AMAZING! Sooo delicious. I can't wait to go back. It was so large, I ate it for 2 lunches. Super friendly and helpful staff. Great job! read more

I've been coming to Bianca's since 2006 and it's always been my favorite sandwich in the world. Their roast turkey and fresh sourdough are INCREDIBLE and for under $10 you literally cannot get a better deal. It hits every single time. I travel back to Moraga just for these sandwiches. read more

Bianca's Deli & Catering - Roast turkey on sourdough with everything - Delis Near Me - Moraga, California

Sandwich was good! Pretty large in size. Feels like a cool place for locals Cash only service is okay Kind of expensive 22$ for a sandwich chips and a seltzer water I would try again read more

I love this deli! Best roast turkey I have had in years. Real turkey and not that awful pressed type. Staff has always been very nice to me. I recommend Bianca's highly!! I am officially hooked!! :-) read more

I've been going to Bianca's since college, back when my metabolism could survive a daily smoked turkey and salami on fresh baked roll. They chop the lettuce too, which is a big plus. The sandwiches are still absolutely elite, like, "worth getting emotionally hazed for" elite, but lately ordering there feels less like lunch and more like a kid takes a ruining start and kicks you in the groin. Definite Soup Nazi energy, but my Gosh is it good. My brother, whom refuses to go back because of a dust up he had with the management, asked me to order him the "Grilled Turkey Jack," which does not exist. A "Grilled Chicken Jack" DOES exist though, and the guy looked at me like I'd just backed over his dog in the parking lot. We were five seconds into the interaction and I was already fighting for my life, and in hot water. Things only escalated from there. I kind of thought my brother was overacting a bit, but I knew almost instantly he wasn't. When it came to my order, apparently I was expected to know every ingredient on the sandwich by the time you step up to order. No tomatoes" was tolerated. Barely. But when I swapped Dijon for regular mustard? Audible sigh. Like full theatrical exhale. Then I asked if they had jalapeños and the owner literally lowered his head and shook it slowly, as if reflecting on all the mistakes that had led him to this exact moment. Then he says,"yessss we have jalapeños." At this point I'm sweating. I'm nervous. I'm apologizing for existing. Finally, the order is done. Just need to pay and escape with what remains of my dignity. Seems easy right? No. There's a handwritten CASH ONLY sign, or Local Checks, clear as day. Who writes checks to a sandwich shop, and why don't we have a credit card terminal? Totally my fault. And I DID have cash... except my brother had handed me money before I left his house, but I left it in the cup holder of the car like an absolute amateur. So I run outside, grab it, come back in. Didn't hold up the line too bad, but now his wife is looking at me like I personally caused the recession. She's pissed. "Is that all?" "Yes that's all." I just want to survive and leave. Then I panic and yell: "WAIT! I NEED CHIPS." She freezes. The room freezes. Somewhere, a child stops laughing. My brother wanted Salt & Vinegar, but the chips were somehow stored in THREE separate locations like a scavenger hunt. Time was running out. I grabbed Sour Cream & Onion because at that point we were in triage mode. "Is that all?" Honestly, spiritually? No. But physically? Yes. Then, in a final act of self-destruction, I glance at the drink fridge and say, "I'll take a Coke." "We have two..can's or bottle." "...Bottle?" "Go get it." "I'm sorry?" "GO GET IT." Now I have to do the walk of shame past the line while everyone watches me retrieve my own beverage like I've been sentenced to hard labor. Some customers looked annoyed. Others looked sympathetic. One guy looked like he'd seen this before. Meanwhile the Coke isn't even barcoded. She absolutely could've rung it up herself. But no. This was about principle now. Eventually I escaped with my sandwich, chips, and emotional scars. Didn't tip. Couldn't. Stockholm syndrome hadn't fully kicked in yet. Honestly, someone needs to go in there wearing Meta glasses and intentionally fumble an order beyond comprehension. I'm talking substitutions, questions, changing your mind halfway through, maybe ask what bread pairs best with emotional trauma. It would be one of the greatest found-footage documentaries ever made. It's a shame though, the sandwiches are legit, the owners need a long vacation to regroup. read more

Terrible service my son and his friend sat down and lady comes out yelling at them and cussing them out in Spanish and calling the boys stupid and when they ordered something the lady starts cussing at them more for not spending enough. Should be ashamed of your self . For calling cussing at the children that is patronizing your mediocre sub par deli. Great choice of words to use as a subpar adult calling the kids "stupid fucking kids" . Maybe be nicer and you mi go t just get more business. I'll Make sure to spread the word to the families of Moraga not to patronize this sub par deli . read more

The best bread and the workers are nice if you aren't an absolute boner. Learn to be respectful and maybe don't bring 20 little disrespectful lamo 6/7 year olds in to piss off the old dude who been doing this shit in his prime for years before you even moved to Moraga. Respect him. Any false claims you make about him because your own hatred of a cold hustler will not be taken seriously. read more

Best sandwich shop in all of Contra Costa County. This is an authentic New York deli sandwich. The homemade fresh sourdough roll is to die for, and the slaw they use on the turkey sandwiches incredible. The blend together is like I said, the best sandwich around. The owner is so nice and they've been there forever. They're so friendly with, their customers and probably the only complaint is their hours are not open 24 seven all the time. I would love to grab their sandwiches on Saturdays, but alas, they are not open. My favorite spot for sandwiches in the bay area. read more

If you like a traditional, yummy deli sandwich with choices of bread, meat, etc-made to Order then you'll love this place. Nothing fancy, just a good sandwich. Cash only tho! read more

Excellent sandwich shop, you must try. $ Cash Only $ The house baked sourdough roll is worth a trek! We sampled the house roasted turkey, roast beef and Tri tip sandwiches. All were a joy to consume. Next visit I plan to explore more exciting flavor combos. The default dressing is mayo, mustard, shredded lettuce, and I think tomato/onion (don't recall 100%). The menu is hand written and I added a pic of the one from mid June 2024. Easy parking, good service, and room to dine in if not prime time. read more

Bianca's Deli in Moraga was the reason I survived college life! Best sandwiches at reasonable prices! Cash only so be prepared... and be prepared for sandwiches so big they can feed two big eaters! Always get the fresh roasted turkey on sour roll with everything but mayo (add cheddar cheese). The combo of the fresh turkey, freshly baked roll, perfectly shredded lettuce and onions, tomatoes and yellow mustard are perfection. My other go- to if I want a hot sandwich is the chicken and jack. Fresh roasted chicken with jack cheese and all the fixing on a sour roll heated up! Yum!! read more

I really enjoy this local sandwich shop tucked away in Moraga. It does appear that the business suffered from the pandemic as the offerings in the deli case don't appear as robust as before. However, the sandwiches are still great and very well priced. Today I had a craving for a sandwich and came right here for the roasted turkey sandwich in a warm sourdough dough roll. It was a toss up between sourdough and Dutch crunch since this isn't available everywhere of course. For under $9 you get a great sandwich that has crunchy shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced tomatoes, mayo and mustard. I added a sugar free snapple and a 1/3 cup side of potato salad. The potato salad tastes homemade and more on the "dilly" side. They have a nice selection of chips and non alcoholic beverages as well. When I got home, I added a slice of tomato that we had at home and some avocado as well. The roll was still warm. And that first bite was crunchy! It's a hearty sandwich that was split with hubby. I highly recommend Bianca's. I'd take half a star off for customer interaction. My only suggestion is that the team be more friendly and welcoming. They seem quite sad. No one greets you with a perky "Hi, what can I get for you today?" read more

Bianca's Deli & Catering - Roasted turkey in warm sourdough roll - Delis Near Me - Moraga, California

Been coming here for over 20 years now. The roast turkey on sourdough (with bacon/jack/everything) has been my go-to for those two decades. House made sourdough, house roast turkey. It is my platonic ideal of a sandwich, and it's still as good as the first day I had it. I come here for the sandwich, not for the service. This is a deli, not a restaurant. The people complaining about the owners being gruff are so incredibly entitled that it's a reminder we're in lamorinda. They're probably rude to you because you waited in line with a giant board showing you the options and only when you got to the front of the line did you decide to look and deliberate, making everyone else behind you wait longer because you have the foresight of a four year old. Get off your high horse. read more

From the moment I walked in and having to force the stuck door open, and the nasty, dirty door itself, I wasn't real impressed. The elderly gentleman behind the counter grunted at me, and then stood there without saying a word. And as I was trying to decide what to get, I suddenly saw the sign that said, cash and debit only or local checks. As I read the sign, I said the gentleman, you only take cash? He just looked at me and mumbled something, I have no clue what? I did have some cash on me, wasn't getting a very good vibe from this place so I left. From the other reviews I have read, that was a good choice that I made . read more

my manager decided to take me to try bianca's deli when we were in the area and i was honestly surprised with how delicious and affordable the sandwiches were. i was expecting for it to cost about $14 because that's how much they typically are around the area i lived but it was half of that. it's located in a plaza where you can dine indoors or outdoors. we went slightly before they closed and i got turkey with everything except onion. you can tell all the ingredients were fresh and i honestly love how they also helped me wrap the half of my sandwich i couldn't finish. it's definitely a spot i would love to go go again if i'm in the area. CASH ONLY ! read more

Bianca's Deli & Catering - Delis Near Me - Moraga, California

I was in the area and really wanted some homemade sandwich. I found this place on map and saw it had bad ratings, but I wanted to go there anyways. I went there and ask a man working there what kind of sandwiches they had and he said they had more than 50 different sandwiches, but he would recommend me to get a one with chicken. I got chicken sandwich and you know what? It was exactly what I wanted: really simple homemade sandwich with fresh meat and veggies. They have a few tables outside so you can eat your food there. The plaza is very nice and clean. I recommend you to stop by at this place and try their sandwiches and other food. They take only cash or checks, but there's an ATM machine inside. read more

No Soup For You! I've seen all the hate on Nextdoor and defended them in the past as just being extremely irritable. No longer after today. Asked for a small customization and the old guy looked at me like I was trying to explain nuclear physics. We can't do that he proclaimed! Really you do this every time I come in and you don't take the order. He refused to take the order and passed off to his associate. I walked out. The secret to this business is they take the simplest task of a sandwich order and make it utterly miserable to their patrons. Never again will I eat here. My advice is to digitize with a iPad order system if listening to simple sandwich instructions has not gotten an easier in 30 years in business. read more

The food looks very disgusting and the workers very rude would not recommend eating here guy started being rude to my 13 year old kid and started cussing him out should be ashamed of his self read more

They are the BEST ! My Family Loves them and have for many years . It's a must when they visit now ! Moragas Treasure!!!

Happy Sunday! I have been training a new staff member at Moraga School District for the last few months. It's allowed me to try some new places in the Lamorinda area. Bianca's Deli & Catering in the Moraga Shopping Center usually gets mentioned when people ask who has the best sandwich, so I was excited to try it. Bianca's makes great sandwiches! They bake the sourdough and Dutch crunch rolls in-house, and the bread is warm when you get your sammich. OMG, the sourdough is so good; it has a nice crunch on the outside but is soft in the middle. The sandwiches are huge; a half is usually enough (and they sell 1/2 sandwiches). I typically get a ham and mortadella, but I've also enjoyed the meatball and a roast beef sandwich. People rave about the grilled chicken & jack since they grill it in-house. My girlfriend really likes their egg salad. They also have great sides, including yummy deviled eggs! Sometimes, I grab some deviled eggs to have for dinner. It's a pretty unassuming spot; Bill and Marcy opened over 25 years ago. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Prices are reasonable, but it is cash only or checks if you live in the Lamorinda area. I recommend that you make sure to have singles and some change because they always ask if I have a dollar or some cents. I've included their menu so you can peruse it before your visit. If you eat there, they serve your sandwich on a plate and will wrap up your leftovers when you're done. They're only open M-F, 9-4 PM. 1480 Moraga Rd Ste A Moraga, CA 94556 read more

Food was sloppy, workers are rude and lunch was expensive. I regret not using Safeway deli instead.

My family came in to order sandwiches, and the customer service was very rude. The lady on the cash register was extremely unwelcoming and rude and rolled her eyes at my family and I, as we were trying to straighten the money for her. It's 2025 get a credit card reader cash only is so yesterday. The customer service was a reason that my family will never go back. Disappointed is an understatement about how my family was treated. You all need to know that your reputation of being rude is out here in the Moraga community and what a way to be viewed as a rude business: I wouldn't want that, they don't seem to change. Too bad for you, there are so so many other businesses in Moraga that are welcoming and friendly and i will take my cash elsewhere thank you very much. read more

It's Oakland Restaurant Week. It's also my 29th birthday (again). What better way to do both . . . well, scratch that, the offerings for Restaurant Week look like not much food for the money. Well, there's Bianca's in Moraga instead. Bianca's Deli is in the middle of a rambling one-story 60s-era shopping center in a sleepy affluent suburb. Inside, it's the kind of place where you can unwind in a casual atmosphere while eating good food. The Hunny would like it, they were playing her favorite radio station (K-LOVE). A big chalk board has the menu written on it, so this is not a cookie-cutter corporate cafe, it's quite personal. Lots of choices to choose from, and I chose the honey-baked ham sandwich. They were out. So, second best was the Louisiana Hot Link sammy ($7.25) on sliced sourdough. Add sea salt & vinegar potato chips and a cherry Coke for a total of $14 and change, and I was out the door. I drove to a deserted park at the end of the road and ate. On this warm January day, I found the sammy to be quite spicy, both with the hot links and the peppers. The rest of the ingredients were put together so that it had a good cool taste to go along with the hotness. Not as much bread as Dutch Crunch, making it better. CASH ONLY. ATM available. With the large menu, you're likely to find something there you'd want to eat. The price is right, too. The nature of Moraga's location is that Bianca's is a ways to go just to eat there, so it's something to add into a trip you're already making to Moraga. It's a good place to stop. read more

Bianca's Deli & Catering - hot link sandwich on sourdough with salt & vinegar potato chips - Delis Near Me - Moraga, California

Don't come here if you're not a confident person The two main people make me feel so bad about ordering a simple sandwich it's crazy When I was a kid the main lady drove her car right through the brick wall into the kitchen. She also accused two young kids of stealing while their mother was there read more

These people are some of the rudest people I have ever met. I had a local who ordered for me and it was a pretty decent amount of chicken salad on my sandwich. I went by to get it again myself before leaving out of town and they barely put any of the chicken salad and piled up all lettuce. Secondly I had someone who didn't come before either and he asked for sandwich roll recommendation. He received eye rolls and attitude and said he can look at the board and pick. Also they did not include my deviled egg that I paid for. I will never come here ever again and will advise others not to as well. Pathetic. read more

The food is decent, nothing has changed in that aspect since 2002. The Service? TRASH!!!! To think that one of my childhood favorites is now THIS bad, and acceptable in Moraga is shocking. Do yourselves a favor, there are better deli's in Lafayette. Heck, the sandwich counter in Safeway in the same parking lot is better. read more

So good! I was a little intimidated to go here after reading some of the reviews. Some of the reviews say they've been yelled at by the owners or witnessed a customer being yelled at. Before you believe the customer was the victim maybe ask why lol. This place is very fast paced which is why we ordered and got our sandwiches in less than 10 minutes. Yes, they only take cash, but there's an ATM machine inside so don't be lame and hate on them for that. The place could use a little warmth. There wasn't any friendly smiles or employee chatter to brighten up the place but hey...... my sammich was bomb. I saved half for later and that was just as good. The sourdough sliced bread had so much flavor. Keep in mind some of the condiments are extra and cheese is an additional charge as well. I thought that was kinda lame but I'd pay for it again! Here's my advice if you give em a shot, A. Know what you want BEFORE it's your turn to order. If you READ the menu, you could probably answer whatever questions you might have. B. Bring cash. C. Don't come here expecting anything more than delicious food. This place is more efficient than friendly. read more

Got the turkey and bacon on sourdough and it was so good. Cash only, but it aint ever that deep. Vibes, food, and service was very on point. My favorite sandwiches and lunch. read more

sandwiches are okay I guess . the hot link sandwich was served cold which was surprising to me because ever other deli with hot link its served warm but whatever. The people that work there are very rude and snap at customers and are just very not friendly. I understand food service is hard but it's not hard to be polite to people who isn't giving you a hard time. I was super polite and they still snapped at me. Inside is kinda messy. there were a few messy tables but it's just typical deli kinda .it sucks because I work around here and really wanted a sandwich but I don't think I'll come here again honestly. read more

I grew up in Moraga loving on Bianca's. I especially love how it is a family mom and pop spot and always makes my favorite turkey sandwich as I remember it... as pictured from the order yesterday =] I do feel the need to clarify a few things - YES this spot is open right now for pick up YES their spot is clean with fresh ingredients NO I have never felt anything but kind reliable and professional service from Bianca's family run operation To all the entitled negative reviews who feel the need to name call, take things personal, and tell the owners how to live their life .... SHAME ON YOU...... please get out of the way as I order yet another amazing sandwich from my all time favorite deli read more

Bianca's Deli & Catering - Turkey sandwich - Delis Near Me - Moraga, California

Bianca's is a good deli that makes solid sandwiches. The owner and his wife run the place and are working hard behind the counter. The inside is a little outdated and could use a makeover. They have nice outdoor seating to enjoy a nice sunny day in Moraga. The grilled chicken jack on a roll is just a great sandwich. My only complaint is that they are a cash only establishment, it would be nice if they started taking credit cards. read more

The customer is always...wrong??? I've been there four times and each time I've been made to feel like I'm an inconvenience. I don't mind the CASH ONLY vibe but at least have an ATM that works. After walking to the nearby bank, I attempted to order the roast turkey, only to by be scolded for not reading the sign that indicated they won't have it for 4 weeks due to bird flu and supply issues. Not very comforting to say the least. I defaulted to the roast beef, which was decent, but it was served with frowns and anger. There are too many lunch options to be treated with this level of disdain. read more

Local and have been eating at Bianca's for years. Everything made fresh daily, unique, and deserve a solid 5 star (if not more) review for their mind blowing sandwiches and salads . Typically purchase a side salad or side of my selection. Perfect for lunch, family/friends out, picnic, or stay at home. Adhering to all CDC restrictions during our crisis of COVID. Growing up, this was the place all the students wanted for lunch They run a business, like any small, local, family run establishment, and should not be held accountable for a few "hot-headed" Yelp reviewers out to cause more harm than good to our community read more

Bianca's Deli & Catering - Honey ham sandwich on sourdough - Delis Near Me - Moraga, California

I have been a loyal customer at Bianca's deli since I was a kid. After the visit today I can no longer support this business. The owner's wife who I think is named Marcy is extremely nasty and disrespectful to most customers that come into this Delicatessen. As soon as I walked in today and got in line And a finger wave saying no, I had my Autistic son's service dog in training with me today after a trip to the vet. Even after explaining this to the nasty woman I got glared at and eye rolls the whole time I was waiting. The small 12 lb dog was in my jacket the entire time and nowhere near her or where the food was being prepared. read more

Hi Everyone! I thought today was an especially pertinent moment to show some support for this beloved Moraga institution. Many reviewers have noted the less favorable aspects of the business: it's cash only (they have an ATM), rude service (I would call it "brisk") and long lines (only busy during lunch rush). Here are some of the reasons that I love Bianca's, and hope you do too! 1) They bake their own fresh breads everyday. I dream about their warm sourdough rolls. 2) The oven roasted turkey! Expertly sliced and juicy every time. 3) Shredded lettuce adds the perfect crunch to any deli sandwich. 4) Expect a flawlessly balanced ratio of meat:veggies:condiments on your sammy. These guys are pros! 5) It's a family run business that has been around for over 20 years. I grew up on these sandwiches and I'm always impressed to see the original owners grinding away behind the deli counter each time I come in. Everything in the menu is under $10, and it's mostly an in-and-out affair. This family works hard to produce a quality product and serve their community. They do their job and they do it well. Let's cut them a little slack if they don't always smile as we are giving them our orders. read more

Cash only, stale cookies, dingy interior, mediocre portions. Go anywhere else instead. Even Safeway across the parking lot has better sandwiches. read more

Best sandwiches on the continent. Staff demeanor leaves something to be desired but at this point it is part of the charm.

Wildly rude owner. The food isn't worth the horrible service. Also charging ten dollars for a small plastic bag of the same deli meat they definitely get at the grocery store next door is a flex. read more

The first thing you need to know about Bianca's is, it's CASH ONLY. This is a small husband and wife business that has been serving Moraga for 25 years. It's a charming place with friendly long-term employees who should be paid a living wage. Between that and the rising cost of rent and goods, I can appreciate the need to keep prices low by not accepting credit cards. Second is--Bianca's bakes their own French and sourdough sandwich rolls. They roast their own turkey and beef, and they make pulled pork from scratch. All salads like egg, tuna, and chicken, are made fresh. I love that you can get a huge custom-made sandwich and a large drink for less than $10. The bread is super fresh tasting and all the ingredients are just right. I *especially* love that I don't have that parched salt-bomb feeling after eating my favorite--a roasted turkey sandwich. Another think I like is that Bianca's smells like a honest to G-d deli. As soon as I walk in and smell fresh bread, spices, and pickles--I can't wait to sink my teeth into a sandwich. Highly recommended! Just be sure to remember to drop by the ATM on your way. read more
