My coworkers and I come in every week or every other week for a sandwich on our lunch breaks! We've been going to this place for about a year and never get tired of it! Their sandwiches are very high quality and their bread is to die for, such simple sandwiches yet so delicious and never misses. The place is cash only and does get busy around lunch time, but they do take phone-in orders! read more

This is a cash-only deli, popular with the locals! The sandwiches are $15 and they were quality sandwiches. For my last day of jury duty, I came here with a couple of other fellow jurors to grab something to take back to the jury deliberation room. I got the Old Country Favorite which includes Boar's Head Black Forest Ham and Ovengold Turkey with Swiss on sourdough. The sandwich was delicious and very filling. No frills, just a very delicious sandwich. If you're in the area during lunch hours and craving a sandwich, check them out. read more

Freshly Baked Eatery - Old Country Favorite - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Freshly Baked Eatery is mine and my friends' go-to lunch spot! The sandwiches are super fresh and the sourdough bread is exceptional. I believe the bread is made in-house and explains why it's so amazing. The sandwiches are HUGE and can sometimes be split into 2 smaller meals. Many of us eat half and save the other half for later. All their deli meats are great but my favorite is probably the Garlic Herb Turkey. This place is cash only which can be an inconvenience but on the bright side, they do have an ATM machine inside if you arrive and realize you don't have cash. Service is super fast and friendly. I've seen the line run outside the door on some days especially during the lunch rush so plan accordingly! read more

Freshly Baked Eatery - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Good vibes and even better sandwiches! The customer service is out of this work. The staff and everyone associated with Freshly Baked Eatery are genuinely kind. We came right before closing so chairs and tables were being put away but we were still welcomed inside for a take out order. I had the Cajun turkey sandwich before from a friend and I've been searching for this spot ever since. I'm so glad I remembered the location a Tony was able to tell me the name of the sandwich based off my description alone. Everything is fresh and delicious. Best sandwiches in San Jose! My husband and daughter are now fans as well. read more

Such a good sandwich spot. So good they had me thinking "what are their hours at 2:51pm" hoping I'd see an open til 4 or 5. Unfortunately it said they close at 2:30. Anyways, i had their class sandwich! And wow that sandwich was everything. I drove back home and it was like a 10 min drive and that bread was still warm! I'll definitely plan on eating my sandwich there next time! So so good and their staff is super friendly! Came around 11:30? And there was accessible parking! read more

Super fast service and fresh bread makes this my new local sandwich spot! The bread was lightly crunchy and not too heavy. I got the prosciutto and provolone and it was big and filled with prosciutto. I liked the chopped up lettuce inside. read more

Freshly Baked Eatery - Prosciutto and Prosciutto & Provolone Cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

I've had this place bookmarked to go to for over 4 years, and it looks like business has been thriving all this time. I arrived a little after 1 pm on Wednesday and employees are super efficient, I got my roast beef sandwich minutes after I ordered it. They have seating inside, but most people sat at the tables outside to enjoy their sandwiches. Each sandwich comes with swiss cheese, lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo, dijon mustard, and pickles on the side. They come pre-cut in half and are super filling; it was easily two meals for me. The vegetables are super fresh and crisp. The sourdough bread complements the sandwich so well and is genuinely just good sourdough bread. This is a top notch deli sandwich place, miles above Jersey Mike's, Ike's, and Corner Bakery Cafe. I'm so excited to add this local spot to my lunch rotation. Cash only (they have an ATM inside) and all sandwiches are priced at $15. read more

Freshly Baked Eatery - #3 - Roast Beef - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Their bread is spectacular and has been since I've been going here in the last 5-6 years. It's just street parking for the most part so if it's lunch time and busy, you might be hard pressed to find a spot but it's worth it. The line can get long but it moves really quickly and note that it's cash only. They have an ATM inside if you need to use it before you order your sandwich. I've had a bunch of different sandwiches and they've all been delicious. Honestly, anything that you get between their bread is going to be good. It's warm, crusty on the outside but soft enough to bite through without the roof of your mouth getting tore up. The people working there are super friendly and it's just a great spot to grab lunch. read more

Freshly Baked Eatery - The classic. Roast beef, ham and turkey - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Best sandwich I've had in a long time! A must-stop if you're craving something fresh. Got the #10 and would order it again in a heartbeat. Great service too, friendly and quick. read more

Fresh sourdough bread deli sandwiches, set price, comes with a pickle, cash only. This place is modeled exactly the same as California Sourdough on Murphy Ave/Oakland Rd. I'd be surprised if these 2 places weren't related. I got the #14 Pastrami and Turkey with everything. Excellent sandwich and very substantial amount of food. I will say the bread was not as fresh as when I had it at California sourdough. I also felt like the sandwich construction here was not up to par. Still really good though! I'll definitely go here if it's convenient. read more

Freshly Baked Eatery - Pastrami and Turkey - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Still the best sandwich in the Bay Area. I keep trying others because Freshly Baked hours are limited and they're cash only, but there really isn't a comparison anywhere else. read more

Although there are many sandwich spots in San Jose - there is something that sets this place apart, and (unironically) it's the bread. The meat is fine (it's just Boar's Head, which is solid but not revolutionary) and that brings this review down a star, but the bread is where the sandwiches shine. The rye on the pastrami bread was perfectly sweet and soft, unlike other spots in San Jose. I'd go there just for the bread if I could. Beware this establishment is cash only (though there is an ATM on the premises)! read more

Freshly Baked Eatery - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

I can't believe I never knew this place existed until a friend introduced me and now I'm so glad they did. Freshly Baked Eatery is such a hidden gem! I ordered one of their sandwiches #15 (peppered salami & turkey) and it was absolutely delish! Fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The bread tasted fresh! Every bite hit. But what really made the experience stand out was the service. Everyone was so welcoming, kind, and genuinely sweet, which made the whole visit feel warm and inviting. Great food + great people = a place I'll definitely be coming back to. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already! read more

What a wonderful spot for lunch! I had the German Salami (ask about it if you don't see it on the menu) and it was incredible. As an added bonus, their chip and drink selection is very good too. The prices are very competitive and they keep them low by reducing non-necessary costs like credit card fees. Payment is cash only. I will be definitely be back when I'm in San Jose. read more

Sooo delicious!! Busy mostly all day but service is fast and always with the best customer service. Staff here are the best! Only Downfall is CASH only but they have an ATM in side! Sandwich's are huge freshly made sourdough makes ur mouth water! Large portions!! $14.99 each but it takes me two meals to eat one sandwich!! Open till 230pm ONLY wish they would stay open later.... read more

Where do I even begin??? There is nothing better than a good sandwich and Freshly Baked has that down! Their sandwiches are always fresh and made to perfection and the service is fast and friendly. High recommend! Tip: Don't forget your cash as they are cash only. read more

Their pastrami/turkey sandwich was the best. As I entered the establishment I was greeted by the staff and sandwich maker. The sandwich maker assured me the bread was fresh from the oven and it tasted so...so flavorful. read more

CASH ONLY w/ ATM inside*** The sourdough bread was delicious, wish meat portions were a tad bit more. Overall, good sandwich and efficient staff; didn't wait long at all for sandwich. Note: Park off street parking and walk to the deli since parking on the streets is limited. read more

Freshly Baked Eatery - Ham and Pastrami - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Freshly Baked lives up to its name--the bread is phenomenal and clearly made in-house. The sandwiches are simple, well-executed, and use quality, fresh ingredients. Nothing fancy, just really solid sandwich-making done right. That said, I have to take off a star because it is cash only. In this day and age? Can you even get cash at a bank anymore? Great sandwiches, but bring cash or you're SOL. read more

Great spot to go to for lunch. This place is cash only, but don't fret they have a ATM machine inside. This is probably my fourth time here. The staff are so nice, definitely a family vibe. The food is always on point. I'm not a sourdough fan, but somehow find myself back here every once in a while! I customized my sandwich and instead of Swiss cheese I got cheddar. The sandwich comes with a side of pickle too (optional). read more

Freshly Baked Eatery - Old Country Favorite (Country ham and turkey on sourdough bread with swiss cheese) - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Freshly baked is amazing! Best sandwich I have ever had (always get the tuna with extra onions and extra pickle)! The homemake their bread, and everyone who works there is too nice and amazing (Tony, Nita, Glen, David, and Victoria). They all have their respective jobs and do them very well. It is like a well-oiled machine! I totally recommend this place if you are in the area. Remember, they are CASH only and their hours are pretty minimal compared to other restaurants (1030-230 weekdays only). While the sandwiches may be harder than others to get, they are totally worth it! The pepper turkey is their only other sandwich I have had, and it is also fantastic! Cheers to their solid crew of workers making one of the best sandwiches in the bay! read more

Such an amazing experience here today. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with genuine kindness, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel taken care of. Their small gestures meant a lot. On top of that, the sandwich was incredible. Fresh, flavorful, and made with love. Highly recommend! read more

This place has the best sandwiches in San Jose, maybe the State. Freshly baked bread, quality Deli meats and vegetables . Fast and friendly. Cash only! read more

Fresh and friendly!! - NOT many places deserve these two words. Fresh baked bread and fresh roasted meat. The kindest people there, not the fake friendliness. They are always busy but they are respectful and cheerful. You'll need to visit to experience it. We walk over there for sandwiches from time to time and always leave happier. Keep it up! read more

This place never disappoints. Yes, the bread is a big-ole-carb-fest but it works with these signature sandwiches. I have not been here in years but the quality remains the same. The sandwiches here are top notch. If you're a sandwich lover this is the place for you...Oh and bring cash read more

The staff is hard working and polite. They thank you for waiting patiently during busy lunch hours which was nice. I forgot to add peppercinis to my sandwich before paying and they gave me a container of them no problem. One container contains 5 or 6 whole peppercinis which I felt was a great ratio for a whole sandwich. The sandwich itself is good too, the sourdough is soft and fluffy and they have quality meat - the roast beef was good. read more

I've been eating at Freshly Baked Eatery for over a decade and this is the best sandwich in all of San Jose. Fresh bread, ingredients, and meat make this a 10/10 sandwich. Fast efficient service even at peak lunch hours. I avoid those crowds as much as possible so I come before the lunch rush or after for a fast pick up. You can always call in your order but I've never had a delay when ordering in person. Service is fast and friendly. View their menu but be ready to make a choice and know what you don't want in your sandwich. I'm a fan of their Turkey & Pastrami. A delicious combination on their delicious bread. I still remember walking in when I was in college to a freshly sliced bread with the steam rising out being shown to me before my sandwich was made. Memories! Plenty of space to sit outside and inside. Gets packed quick so keep that in mind when looking for a table. Variety of chips and drinks. I'm no longer close to the area but whenever I'm around the corner you better believe I'll be stopping in for a sandwich CASH in hand ready to devour the first half in my car right away. ATM available inside if you forget CASH. read more

WHAOAOAOAO, I love the sour dough bread here. SOLID sandwich with a really big portion. I got the roast beef and I'll definitely come back for how great the bread was! There's a lot of seating and it had a nice view of the park with an aesthetic alley to sit in as well. Update with coming back: Sandwiches are overall really solid! Service can be a little slow during rush hour but you can call ahead! Keep in mind the place is cash only and you gotta find street parking. read more

This is a little deli with big lines during lunch. When you go, make sure you bring cash. It's a cash only place. There are seating outside so it's nice having a sandwich when the weather is nice. It's a standard sandwich where the price is about on point. What makes the sandwich stand out was the freshly baked bread. The sandwich was made pretty quickly. I went outside to set up my seating and the called me for my sandwich. She even came out to pass it to me. They usually don't do that but this time they did. That was very nice Overall: No complaints about this place. I would definitely go again read more

Hands down my favorite sandwich place (although lately I've gone to a couple of close runners-up but it took a lot of searching). Freshly Baked is a gem. Unfortunately it's only open Mon-Fri at lunchtime so I rarely got to eat there. When I used to live in San Jose, I made it a tradition to swing by there to grab a sandwich for lunch before heading to work an hour away. Now that I no longer live in SJ, my opportunities to go are even more reduced. *sigh* They make their own sourdough. I always get the prosciutto w/ provolone sandwich, dressed with oil and vinegar although they can do mayo instead. If I could eat there more often, I might try the other sandwiches too, but the prosciutto one is perfect. read more

Freshly Baked Eatery - Prosciutto & Provolone Cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Sandwiches are perfect. Service, not so much. These people make it so apparent who they don't want in their establishment. Brown people can afford a $17 sandwich too. I know, so crazy. read more

This is a classic, no fuss, deli sandwich. IT IS DELISIOUS. Sometimes you can forget the joys of a simple well executed sandwich. We get distracted by the noises of bacon, onion rings, and special sauces, but this sandwich is quiet perfection. Every piece is exactly as it should be excellent bread (bread makes or breaks and sandwich), crisp vegetables, quality cheese, thin sliced meats, easy mayo. The people here are really nice; the place is small but functional. I get the country ham with Swiss, no alterations and hot-damn it is exactly perfect every time! read more

Great sandwiches! I like getting their Classic because it's a little of everything with ham , turkey and roast beef. But sometimes I order off menu and get the roast beef and salami with cheddar bc I enjoy that combo in a sandwich and you can ask for peppers on the side . They're always super friendly and quick with the orders . read more

Although this is a cash only business and it may be an inconvenience since a lot of us rely on Apple Pay/card the subs are SO delicious. My go to is the #1 and I add avocado to it, I eat half of it during my lunch (they are HUGE) and the other half later on or even the next day for lunch again. read more

Freshly Baked Eatery - #1 - Sandwiches Near Me - San Jose, California

Fantastic lunch spot. The sandwiches are HUGE so consider splitting with a friend! Remember it is cash only, but they have an ATM

I remember when it was $7 many moons ago... it's now $13 and still worth the price. The sourdough is crispy on the outside and fluffy. It's very fulfilling, I told myself I'd only eat half but it was so irresistible I ate the whole sandwich and was very full and got food coma. The service was amazing, had 8 orders so def had to call ahead - even though they open at 1030, they answered the phone at 930 (I wasn't sure if they'll answer) and took my order and had it ready for pick up at 1030. The inside looks like only for ordering and the seating outside which is nice esp if you have pets. read more

Recommended by a coworker, near enough to my downtown office that I got a nice walk around St James Park as a bonus. I ordered the Hot Ruben to go and it smells fantastic. If I don't update the review, you can assume it exceeded expectations! I got my order super fast and walked right out to me in the lobby with a friendly smile. read more
