traditional New York deli food along with the dish ware they use to serve the food makes it like Nanna's serving your food at home !

Today for brunch I had the Corned Beef and Pastrami Hash with poached eggs, potatoes and toast. It was really delicious, and a lot of food. So good! And the people are super nice too. Highly recommended! read more

Bubbala's - Delicious Corned beef and Pastrami hash with eggs - Salad Near Me - San Anselmo, California

5 star service and food in a cute place in a shopping mall strip across from a park. Super friendly service and we appreciated the recommendations. We ordered breakfast sandwiches, coffee and chai lattes before heading to the softball field across the street. Everything was fresh and tasty. We were happy to wait while it was made to order. read more

Finally checked this Jewish Deli out! The Chicago dog is fantastic. My boyfriend loved his Ruben. The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned. We both were not a fan of the potato salad; definately in need of salt. And we found the coleslaw to be blant. The latkas were ok, a bit greasy but the cinnamon apple sauce was a delight. The pickles were snappy and loved the brine. All in all a wonderful lunch and we definately will be back to try other things! read more

I posted this review June 9th 2026, but somehow it disappeared. On that day, the owner was unkind to his employee, who was really quite good. She'd only worked there for a short time, but she smartly helped us order slightly off the menu (half a sandwich and salad instead of half a sandwich and soup), and she was flexible about me wanting a single-shot cappuccino in a small ceramic cup she had among the cups on the machine. It made my wife happy -- it was exactly the size and strength of cappuccino she wanted. But the owner was rude to the barista in front of me and rude to me in front of her. He insisted I call it a cortado and acted like I was a moron. I told him, "The way you're acting seems very weird to me." They forgot to give us our roll, and they forgot to give us the side salad we had paid for. The owner took care of both of these things and was much more pleasant, but, too late. There is never an excuse to be rude to a customer. He was frustrated because they'd run out of clean bar glasses and the barista was making a double espresso when she should have been making a single. But what happened to ZEN, man? It's ALL good. You can flow with ANY situation and still be kind -- it's just a bunch of ancient atoms temporarily configured as humans, and "there's nothing to get hung about". read more

Have you ever had a perfect breakfast sandwich experience? I have at Bubbala's. In the photo you see hot sauce and salt, I didn't need or use either. The chicken sausage was spiced perfectly with that old fashioned breakfast sausage taste that I had almost forgotten. The soft brioche bun, the perfectly melted cheddar, and the soft scrambled egg harmonized with that sausage patty like nobody's business. Super sweet guy working the register and grill at opening time at this mom and pop shop. Clean and homey. Price was right. I'll be back. read more

With zero Jewish delis in Marin let's applaud the arrival of Bubbala's It doesn't fully fill the capital J (Jewish) capital D (Deli) void but it satisfies in a similar way and sometimes that's enough. Bubbala's occupies a simple storefront space in San Anselmo's Redhill Shopping Center. If you're seeking a pastrami sandwich with a side of potato salad in Marin you need look no further. On my visit, the indoor tables were mostly full which may have been the reason they'd run out of rye bread. This is when we know that Bubbala's is not a classic Jewish Deli; out of rye bread?! Oy. A friend and I shared our sandwiches so we each sampled a Pastrami and a Corned Beef sandwich opting for potato salad sides (included) with both. After ordering at the counter the dishes were served to us at an outdoor table and aside from the bread not being rye and the potato salad needing salt and maybe some more onions, this proved to be a satisfying, tasty meal. Bubbala's, even if it falls short of being the authentic Jewish Deli of my childhood, is a wonderful and tasty addition to the neighborhood but come early if you desire your sandwich on rye. read more

Despite ample parking, I have to admit that the ambiance is lacking and seating is minimal. I had walked by here several times before I popped in for a Reuben to go at the recommendation of a friend. I am still salivating from that sandwich! It was so fresh and so so delicious! It is pricey but definitely worth it! read more

Had been a few times and always like the food that's solid but today met the owner Greg who took time to chat and make my meal in front of me and with the love/care/intention you only get from people that know how to channel the spiritual (ya, forgive the woo woo - I've live in marin too long) energy of feeding your fellows. Feel like I made a friend today and look forward to spending more time eating Greg's food. Thanks dude - I'll see you soon read more

I absolutely love the good intentions salad with chicken! The flavors are amazing and very generous portion. I am still alive, the warm and friendly people and cute little enclosed patio. Highly recommend! read more

Quality seems good, but quantity is ridiculous for the price! Literally $30 for a sandwhich with a side (literally like 2 tablespoons) of potato salad. The rye bread was a super small mini sandwich size - see photo. Just FYI at famous Katz's deli a pastrami sandwhich is $30, but you get a hella lot more pastrami! I so wanted to write a great review of a decent Jewish deli, but I can't. And, we really need a mom and pop answer to loveski (which is good but feels too chain-like). I probably will go back but not as often as I would've like to because 1. I had a nice enough fellow take my order but when I went to pick up the surly woman behind the counter seemed like she wasn't all that interested in customer service (maybe she was having a bad day, we all do). And 2. Quantity - seriously almost $30 for this sandwich! When I go back I'll try the matzoball soup... read more

Bubbala's is great. Very New York style Rueben sandwich. Nice guy. Always friendly. Good home made pastries.

We've been watching the "coming soon" sign on this storefront for a few years and then missed the actual opeing. So pleased to have a deli in our San Anselmo neighborhood, and one that we're looking forward to visiting on a regular basis. We arrived late on Sunday morning, but unfortunately missed the breakfast time slot (I think they stop serving at 11:30am?). Ok, we can handle the disappointment since there were so many other great options to choose from. At the time we arrived, there were others there, maybe half full, but the service was very fast and pleasant. I ordered a bowl of Matzoh ball soup... a great test to see how good a deli is. I'm trying to restrict my salt intake, so I wasn't sure I should do this since so often, chicken soup at restaurants is way oversalted... the soup itself was delicious. It wasn't over salted, and for me it was perfect, though others might find it underseasoned. I noticed the beautifully diced vegetables were actually a bit saltier than the broth. And there was a generous amount of pulled chicken in the soup. And now for the ultimate test, how were the two matzoh balls? Texture was perfect, tender, juicy, cooked all the way through. But they were untlimately a disappointment because the chef had forgotten to add ANY salt at all to them, so they had a very flat flavor. I consider this a miss for this course. I took spoonfuls of veggies and matzoh balls together and it kind of worked out. Hopefully this was just a one-time error, so I'll give it another try next time. I also ordered a plate of cheese blintzes. These were 5-star all the way. Perfectly cooked, tender, luscious creamy cheesy filling. And they were served with a small bowl of sour cream and homemade (?) strawberry compote. Delicous. My wife ordered a turkey pastrami Reuben sandwich. One minor error, the server brought it out and said "here's your corned beef Reuben." My wife quickly went up to the counter and confirmed she actually did get the turkey pastrami... so an issue with untrained staff, since the sandwich itself was one of the best Reubens we've tasted! Hot, crispy toasted bread, juicy meat with just enough special sauces. The cole slaw she got with it was also great. We ended up finishing the soup and blintzes, and took half of the sandwich home to divide for dinner. The owner came by to check how things were, and we gave him our compliments for the food. The total was $59 including tip for just the sandwich, soup, and blintzes (we opted for water to drink). We're looking forward to coming back for breakfast. And we do hope that at some point, there won't be a cutoff for the breakfast menu. I know it's harder to have additional items the chef needs to cook, but especially on a Sunday, breakfast should be available all day. read more

I am going to give Bubbala's a (pun intended) compliment sandwich. I had a tasty corned beef and swiss on rye with accompanying potato salad and a half pickle. Good quantity of delicious corned beef and the sides while small were solid. Now some constructive feedback - and not to compare it unfairly to franchised fast-casual - but the service seems slightly messed up. Maybe they are having trouble getting the staffing right but the waits seem long for what should be a pretty straightforward operation and it gives off a vaguely disorganized feel. I'd also agree that it's a bit on pricey side but I don't think out of line for quality provided. Those quibbles aside, pastrami and corned beef that were a pipe dream a year ago are now here to be enjoyed. Super glad that Bubbala's is in our community. read more

Yum! The breakfast sando and chai were so delicious. The menu options are pretty diverse and everything I have had here has been delicious. Previous trips I have ordered the matzo ball soup and a chicken Caesar wrap and both have been delicious as well. What a gem to have in Marin! read more

I can't tell you how excited I was when I found out about Bubbalas. I was so excited in fact, that I went the week they opened, which is something I usually wait to do so they can work out the kinks. The location is in a big shopping center with lots of easy free parking and conveniently located off of Sir Francis Drake. On our first visit, I was delighted to order the cheese blintzes and he ordered the schnitzel sandwich. My blintzes were absolutely delicious and I totally vacuumed them down. His sandwich was also very good and very fresh, with a punchy fennel slaw which we ate outside in the sun and were very very happy with. After I couldn't stop thinking about those cheese blintzes, we decided to return during Hanukkah and they were offering some seasonal specials. It also just so happened to be my birthday. Yay! I decided to order the cheese blintzes AND the potato latkes and he ordered the deli scraps omelette breakfast with a London fog on the side. The blintzes were just as good as the first time and the latkes were served with an amazing spiced pear apple sauce and everything was delicious. He devoured the omelette which was totally up his alley with all kinds of goodies, meats, cheeses and potatoes galore. I had told them that I was there celebrating my birthday, and on our way out, they handed me a bag of items on the house which included a chocolate chip cookie, a black and white, and a kuign aman, which was very thoughtful. The pastries were just as good as the breakfast and lunch items which did not surprise me because everything I've eaten here has been delicious. The ambiance is cozy and homey and the food is top notch. My only complaint is that I wish they were closer to us in Sonoma county, but in the meantime I will continue making the drive because it is totally worth it! read more

Bubbala's is a gem. The food is delicious, the menu is unique, and the ambiance is low-key and familiar. In a world where most food service has become totally impersonal, Bubbala's is a breath of fresh air: an old-school family restaurant where you can get to know the owners and staff, who treat you like a real person and serve you home-cooked food like you're a member of the family. And that includes some of the best sandwiches, omelettes, salads, and baked goods anywhere in Marin. read more

Bubbala's - Toddler getting very into the grilled cheese sandwich and fruit. - Salad Near Me - San Anselmo, California

For a restaurant that hasn't officially opened yet, it was a pretty amazing experience. Our first time, we came down from Novato, thanks to the word of mouth on a deli board on Facebook. We were not disappointed. My corn beef was as tender as any I've ever had nice and fatty, but not too fatty just full of flavor. Amazingly tender. My wife's pastrami was also delicious, a really nice smoke, a hint of spice, as good as any you'll find on the East Coast. Dad's brisket plate was tender and juicy as well, I can't say what it tasted like because he wouldn't let me have a piece. We ordered a knish because they have knishes. This one was crispy and crunchy on the outside and spicy tender on the inside, a little bit of deli mustard and it was just off the hook. This is a real Jewish deli menu. Not "Jew-ish" like some other unnamed restaurants in Larkspur Landing ending with ski. They have Dr. Brown's. They have sour pickles. Coleslaw was very good. The smoked salmon looked delicious but we did not come for breakfast. We'll have to try that next time, judging by the reactions of the other patrons, this place is the real deal. We will be back soon. read more

Wanted to very much like this place. Everyone was really kind. But the ambiance is disorganized and a bit lower grade. Most of all, the food is good not great - and more expensive than necessary it seems. I want them very much to succeed, but can't bring myself to go there consistently. read more

This place is great! The owner and service were phenomenal! We hd the hot pastrami with coleslaw, Reuben with potato salad, knish, latke, the kids had hot dogs, and the owner kindly gave us a taste of their patatas bravas. It was all excellent.

Excellent addition to the area. Lovely family owned business, great food. We had the turkey Reuben (sub slaw for the sauerkraut - DIY Rachel) and the brisket plate. Both were delicious.

I don't usually leave reviews especially negative ones but this calls for it. I am incredibly sick with a horrible flu and the only thing that sounded remotely appetizing was some Matzoh ball soup. so I put in an online order for my husband to pick up for me. I ordered a soup with a side of potato salad and an order of potato latkes. I even gave a generous tip on the to go order. I got the soup and it tasted so stale and zero flavor, to the point that any seasoning would not have helped AND they forgot the potato latkes!!! The potato salad was delicious. But seriously........DO BETTE! read more

Egg and cheese on a roll breakfast sandwich cost me $11. The person at the counter had his hands inside his apron while I gave him my order. Creepy. My main complaint was the eighteen minutes I waited for my sandwich. There were no people ahead of me, and only a few people already eating there. The cook apologized to me, which I appreciated. I think there was a mixup with the computerized system. I left feeling like I'd been taken for a fool, and out $11, and wasted my time. Bummer. read more

Delicious! Can't go wrong with any food choice, I'm sure. The Ruben and the #19 were fantastic. The potato salad should satisfy even picky eaters- fantastic, with the feeling of home. Thank you Greg! It's not just a place to eat, rather be part of a family meal time. read more

Dear bubby, I had your pastrami sandwich. Please get your bread figured out. The sandwich was the size of a baby hand. I liked the flavors but please different bread and bigger pickles. I will be back. I tell people to support you. I want you to succeed. Just please, the bread. Also the cashier kid, maybe should eat his edible after the shift not before. Love me read more

Incredibly lean but moist corned beef. And the cole slaw! What's not to like? And best of all it's not swarmed by high schoolers at lunch! read more

I'm hoping that the owners read the reviews and adjust. I want to like/support this place and make it a regular stop, but there are several things missing/lacking. First off, the bread is a small square, dry and felt like it came from a grocery store; wanted it to be the classic, fresh oval shaped Jewish/marble rye. The meat had good flavor, but the quantity was light for the price; expected 30-50% more for a $20 sandwich. The pickle was comically small, like Cornichon small; please get some real deli pickles - new, half, sour. If I had to sum it up, my first meal wasn't special and it lacked the delight/value for money that gets someone to come back! Will give it a month or so and try again. read more

Now that's what I like to call five star plus! Egg salad sandwich - marvelous. Kinish- delicious. And the potato salad is the best I've had in a long time. Idk if the applesauce is homemade or not but it too was totally delicious. I can't wait to steer everyone I know in their direction and I will be a regular. I'm looking forward to visiting their space in the future. read more

This place is super cute and was not crowded at all in the morning making it a perfect place to grab breakfast. The service was quick and my food was soooo good. I had never had a breakfast burrito quite like it and I will definitely be going back regularly just for that item. Their coffee is good and they have lots of interesting looking pastries, but I didn't get to try any of them because I was too full! I did try the lattice cookie, which was also quite tasty. It had a unique crunchy chewiness that I enjoyed. Excited to try their other baked goods. read more

Bubbala's - Brisket breakfast burrito - Salad Near Me - San Anselmo, California

This place is AMAZING! Drove out for breakfast from San Francisco on a Sunday morning - absolutely worth the trip! The breakfast sandwiches are 5 star - the pastrami and smoked salmon were both delicious. And the coffee is great - not weak, watered down coffee like we usually get at a deli or diner but better than most of the fussy coffee shops in San Francisco. The owner is incredibly friendly and warm. This place is a gem - spend the 40 minutes on a weekend and take the beautiful drive to San Anselmo for breakfast or lunch. You definitely won't regret it! read more

We absolutely loved this restaurant! My son and I got the pastrami sandwich which was excellent, and my wife got a scramble which she thought was one of the best she had ever had. The coffee was on point as where the fries. Really sweet and homie atmosphere. Highly recommended! read more

The food here is overpriced especially considering portion size. A "side" of coleslaw or potato salad comes in a togo salad dressing container. Approximately a tablespoon. I tried the turkey and chicken sandwiches - SO DRY. They do use quality ingredients but are lacking in flavor. read more

The Chicken broth for the matzah ball soup needed a little bit more robust flavor it was a little watery but otherwise good. The latkes were perfect and delicious! The tri-tip sandwich was flavorful, the potato salad needed salt, but was still tasty. The pastrami reuben was solid as well. Overall a tasty and great addition to Red Hill! read more
