    Roast beef sandwich on sourdough and Bagel with Cream Cheese, Tomatoes and Avocado
    Sara M.

    A mom and pop, hole in the wall little sandwich shop - so so delicious! I came here alone and had the BLT, and came back a couple of days later and brought my husband. Delicious sandwiches and bagels and decent coffee and decent selection of bottled drinks/cans. and the owners are very friendly!

    Tuna on 9 grain bread (toasted)

    I had a show at The Great Star theater. I was hungry and had only 15 min before showtime. This was the closest to quick grab and eat. Fortunate for me even though it was past their 7 pm closing time, they still took my order and allow to eat there.. I got the tuna 9 grain bread. It was delicious and nicely toasted. The sandwich was perfect with curly lettuce and tomato. I got a small bottle of eater. I really haven't had a tuna sandwich since covid. My tummy was happy.

    Turkey sandwich on Dutch crunch with avocados.

    I've been going to Good Luck Cafe for 10 years, and it's always a solid choice. They use fresh ingredients and their dutch crunch is really good. They're inexpensive too. I normally get their turkey sandwich on Dutch crunch and add avocados. I've tried their other sandwiches and they're good too. Can't go wrong. It's a very tasty, filling and mostly light lunch. Always nice to support their mom and pop shop too.

    Consistent and generous Mom & Pop cafe - I've always called in the order and walked right over. Their Turkey, Bacon & Avocado on Dutch Crunch - YUM! Every single time. Perfect ratio of meats & veggies. While everything else during the pandemic on Kearny came and went, this might've been one of the three spots that actually stuck it out through it all and kept us "essential workers" fed for lunch.

    Turkey Breast Sandwich
    Sarah S.

    This sandwich was incredible! Maybe one of the best I've ever had and it was pretty basic. The fresh bread really took it up a notch. The turkey was delicious too, and all the condiments were just perfectly balanced and fresh. I ordered online and husband went to pick it up. Quick pickup and everything went great. Very affordable too. Definitely saving this to come back to. This is a top spot!

    Tropical fruit tea

    I have been eating at Good luck cafe on and off for 2 decades! I believe same owner, the same lady was behind the counter today. I went in today to order a honey ham sandwich and a tropical fruit tea. Just as I remember it, the best honey ham sandwich that I had tried anywhere!! I remember back in the old school days, it was cash only (not sure about now, I bought cash again), they made sandwiches, a few breakfast items and tons of snacks and ramen. They are still serving the all the above PLUS they have expanded their breakfast menu and coconut puddings. AND they have expanded into the bubble tea business with bobas, milk teas and smoothies. I hope Good Luck Cafe stays for many years. It's so nostalgic to me!

    Chicken Salad Sandwich
    Janice K.

    Happen to find this little gem while visiting. I'm glad i did. The sandwich's are so good! i had the chicken salad and hubby had the turkey on Dutch crunch rolls. The owners are kind and nice great service. I'll come back every time I'm here.

    Super convenient location in the financial district. The man at the counter was super friendly and helpful. They have lots of bagel and regular sandwich options. I got a breakfast bagel sandwich - bacon egg and cheese. It was freshly made! The boba I believe is homemade! They have great options for lunch as well as breakfast. You can eat in or take out. Very convenient!!

    Chicken Salad Sandwich
    Jenny X.

    Came here with a friend after Barry's and wow this place was unexpectedly great! Didn't expect much from a hole in the wall but the owner was super kind and super funny too. Good: - Super cheap prices for such large portions! Got so much food for $11 and I even added on avocado - Loved the chicken salad sandwich with Dutch crunch Bad: - Not a lot of seating inside Overall would definitely come back and try this again!

    Coconut puddings
    Teena N.

    First time here, Their strawberry milk tea is super refreshing and the best I have ever tried for a fruit milk tea. Friendly service, mini store and fresh sandwich. Next time, I would want to try their sandwiches. There's a parking garage close by.

    Menu board - $6 Sandwiches in SF
    Eric R.

    10/5 stars really Probably one of my top 3 sandwich spots when I used to work in SF. Cash only but don't let that deter you from a delicious, cheap, filling meal. This is a mom and pop shop (used to literally be the Mom and pop) but I think they changed a little over the years. I used to come here when sandwiches were $6. They're slightly more now but what isn't these days. Turkey, chicken salad, veggie, BLT, they're all great here. Make sure you get the Dutch crunch and you're set. There's a few tables to sit inside but I hardly ever did. Veggies are always fresh and bread is on point. Only bad thing I have ti day is the eel sandwich is a little out there. I may try again someday but something about eel/unagi with the typical sandwich toppings (mayo/mustard) wasn't doing it for me. Check this Spot out and you won't be disappointed.

    BLT Sandwich
    thrifted c.

    BACON EGG & CHEESE I tried the BLT & bacon egg and cheese sandwiches 10/10. A very nice man who made sure to ask us how our food was after the meal. Great service great food will be coming back

In researching places near where we were staying, we learned about the Italian deli and shop. We were looking forward to stopping by to check out the store and grab lunch. The store itself is very cute and charming, full of so many items - fresh meats and cheeses, imported olive oils, pastas, desserts, wine, and liquor to name a few. There is an area where you can get coffee drinks and there is a deli area for ordering sandwiches, pizzas, specialty dishes, and salads. The variety of options is plentiful. I ordered an iced coffee beverage, which was great. My significant other and I ordered a sandwich to go, which we were splitting for a light lunch back at the hotel. The person helping at the counter was not very friendly or helpful with questions. We asked for our sandwich to be made on the Dutch Crunch bread, as we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, it turned out that the sandwich was made on a regular ciabatta roll, which was not fresh. Additionally, the sandwich was mostly mixed greens. For the price, I expected more meat. With so many great food options in San Francisco, it is likely we won't stop by on future visits to the City.

    Nowadays, everyone offers Dutch crunch bread, so I wasn't expecting much…read more I was pleasantly surprised that the bread was not only flavorful but also incredibly crunchy and dense, one of the better sandwich spots around the city that I will recommend from here on out. The San Franpsycho was incredibly decadent, full of sauce that made the sandwich rich. It got a little overwhelming near the end, but it's still worth it for the price. Can't wait to go back and try the other sandwiches they have to offer

    Finally made it to The Boys' Deli after my buddy hyped it up for years. It's an unassuming market…read moreon Polk with a sandwich counter in the back that is absolutely popping off. Three people working a tight space with three toaster ovens, and everything comes toasted by default. Their DNA is from pizza making, and it shows. The menu has around 40 sandwiches, so I asked the guy behind the counter for his two favorites and started there. The Godfather: Genoa and pepper salami, oven gold turkey, provolone, and garlic spread on Dutch crunch. Great texture, warm from the toaster, and the garlic spread ties it together. A San Francisco classic done right. The San Franpsycho: it normally comes with honey turkey, but they had rotisserie chicken on the spit so I swapped it in. Gouda, bacon, pesto, garlic spread, and remoulade. The pesto comes through right away and the chicken tastes like real rotisserie. Fair warning: it is messy. It drips. Do not eat this in the car. I could not find a clean way to eat it and ended up taking half home to finish. In their defense, I went rogue with the chicken order so that might have messed up the flow. If you're a sandwich person in SF, put this on the list. I'll be back soon.
