    Ham, mortadella and cheese (no. 8) on Dutch crunch with all the fillings
    Alison V.

    Rave reviews brought me to Lorenzo's, and I'm glad I visited. It's not my favorite sandwich spot, for a few reasons - they don't toast their bread, their selection is a little limited, they slice their meats a little thick for my liking and they don't have any seating. But the staff are very friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the sandwiches are generously sized! Overall, not a bad place to pick up some lunch to go.

    I've had sandwiches in Italy and France that I thought were great. But nothing tops good 'ol Americana sandwiches made here in Belmont. I always get the #13 with jalapeños and it's perfect. Been coming here for 15 years and the quality has never wavered.

    Asked the friendly cashier to hook me up with his best recommendation and he DELIVERED. I am new to the area from LA and already found a 10/10 sandwich shop. Shout out to Charlie for cooking this sandwich up! Full disclosure: I love sandwiches and I am not a picky eater I can admire every ingredient in a sandwich shop

    Big Combo

    A solid sandwich spot! I tried their Big Combo and Turkey Bacon Avocado sandwiches. We added provolone cheese and had the Big Combo on Dutch crunch bread, and I devoured it! The Big Combo has tons of meat including salami and ham. The sauce they add to these sandwiches is delicious! I also tried their Turkey Bacon Avocado with provolone cheese on Dutch crunch, and this sandwich was equally delicious! They don't skimp on the meat & veggies and these sandwiches, and you can never go wrong with Dutch Crunch bread. I called in my order, since I was ordering 6 sandwiches. It was pretty smooth to pick up the sandwiches, so I recommend calling if you're ordering a lot. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area and craving a sandwich.

    #1 Dutch Crunch with Turkey and Cheddar Cheese

    Delicious Sandwich Spot!! Been going here for 23 years. I always order the #1 Turkey on Dutch Crunch, very fresh with lots of Turkey. My son loves the Pastrami! It is a take out establishment, check the hours, closed Sun. and Mon. Call ahead if you can to order ahead of time. Affordable. One of Belmont's finest establishments.

    Great sandwich spot! Walked up and placed an order right before 12pm. Waited less than 10 minutes. I noticed that most people called ahead. My order was placed at the door and I waited with everyone else outside. The store was very small. Got the combo sandwich on sourdough. It came with their garlic spread- I added the jalapeño spread, as well. My sandwich tasted very fresh and delicious. It was a pretty stacked sandwich, so I only ate half. Highly recommend!

    turkey bacon avocado on dutch crunch

    This is the spot! Delicious sandwiches and friendly staff. I had the turkey bacon avocado on dutch crunch. Prior to this, I always tried not fresh (?) dutch crunch so I never really understood the love for it, but after getting it here I understand! The bread was fresh and delicious, it showed me what a good dutch crunch is like! Soft but crunchy, wow! The texture on top was great. It was a good experience. I would definitely get dutch crunch again. I found the sandwich to be tasty and the garlic sauce to be working its magic. The lettuce is shredded which I think adds to the mouth feel. Nice crunchy and flavorful bacon. Overall, a great sandwich!

    Limited bread choices. Couldn't toast our sandwich? And they got a simple order wrong. I wanted to like this place.

    Is there anywhere to eat indoors?

    Have you stopped taking phone orders? I've tried calling dozens of times for the last several months and it always goes straight to voicemail.

    They do ... you just need to call your order not during the peak rush when they've got a line out the door. I normally call between 11-11:30/45 with no issue or after 12:30/45 with no issue, and even if I'm not picking up right away I'd prefer to… 

    Danielle, can you send me a copy of the menu?

    Quick take: Great sandwiches…read more Ordered a Monster Turkey and a Roast Beef Royale. Very yummy sandwiches. I like the bread too. Highly recommend this spot for sandwiches.

    WHAT IN THE DELICATESSEN IS GOING ON HERE AT MO'S??!!…read more First, check out my pics, then absolutely get here as soon as possible to enjoy some crazy delicious sammies and other treats! Tiny little baby deli on the edge of Belmont and San Carlos border, nice peeps serving up some seriously nice quality deli goodness. Tiny shopping center on El Camino Real with baby parking lot, lots of street parking free on the boulevard. I ordered the Sanburger 2 and chocolate croissant. Words cannot do the sammie justice, except that it's a dang Big Mac, but no burger and healthy! Whaaaaattt???!! Yes, you read that right. I want to eat this sammie everyday. Recommendation, get the sammie as they serve it for the Big Mac replica effect. There are Sanburgers 1-5. The one I ordered is 2, roast beef. They melt the American cheese on the sliced roast beef, then placed on the sesame seeded bun with shredded lettuce, mustard, MO's special sauce and lots of lovin'. When I took my first bite, I said out loud, "Am I eating a Big Mac?!" Very creative are these folks. The chocolate croissant speaks for itself. It's fully loaded flaky croissant goodness and it's huge! Head over to Mo's for an excellent sammie experience! Plan for to-go as it is very tiny, however, there are tables and outside area, too. The location used to be a Subway for years. Very nice new flavor in town. I believe they opened in 2024. I will definitely return!

    Jiro Cafe & Bakery

    Hey hey hey! (Good old "Music Champ" or for those not familiar with that Japanese variety show,…read more"Fat Albert"!) Another legit Japanese bakery in the Yay? You bet! Jiro/Jirou Cafe & Bakery (Jirou Sabou/二郎茶房) is a Japanese cafe on Belmont's Las Pulgas and Carlmont. From what I have gathered as I did my prior scouting/dining scouting (I can't recall anymore), the place is only 3 years old. Seeing that I'm a San Jose/Milpitas cat, I'll type what this place has over Clover and vice versa. This is done not only so that I can recall what I ordered should I enter as I get off 101 again. This is also done so that Belmont residents, Frisco ones and those nearby can get an idea of what to expect when they can decide whether Jiro or Clover has the better batch of items. I felt awful for staying in for 3 hours of the 4 weekend hours of operation yesterday, but as I type up this review and remember to insert the usual "Yes guys, the ladies are cute!" statement, I did get more items before this place closed for the day. I blame/thank the music, especially an Utada Hikaru-san song. The staff's really terrific. The look seems random with a simple look wall and a white and pink stripe look wall that gives me shades of Anna Miller's, but it works because the place is really cute. I mean, there's a Kuromi decoration as opposed to the Too Short name dropped Kitty in Clover! Though there's a kiosk, there's also the ever important bottle of sanitizer and the register should you pay with cash. Okay, I better get the comparison paragraph pair out of the way. Let me show you something--I mean start with what Jiro has over Clover! (Yay "In Living Color".) As I typed in the last paragraph, Jiro has Kuromi. Beside that, there are items such as an iced houjicha latte with in house cream, Japanese sodas including my San Franciscan friend's melon soda that made him wish he's back in Japan, cat shaped bread along with multiple forms of cat decorations, Anpan Man pan with Jiro being the second place I have been to carrying them after Sac's Mahoroba, big savory sandwiches such as yakisoba sando, tonkatsu quesadilla, yuzu cheesecake, pan such as sakura pan, matcha panna cotta, Belgian chocolate brownies, juurokucha bottles (a non-caffeinated tea of 16 ingredients) and on the go snacks such as the Japanese animal crackers boxes. I can't forget the seating, an element Clover had before the pandemic mess. What Clover has over Jiro. Clover has the cooler Sanrio character. Regarding the foods and drinks, Clover has Italian sodas with the Torani syrups, ice cream for the French ones as opposed to cream or half and half, piroshiki/pirozhki, mini versions of sandwiches such as korokke/croquette and okonomiyaki/modan'yaki pan (savory pancake with noodles for the latter if you are not familiar with Japanese food), donut twists, strawberry sando, and Japanese strawberry shortcake. Regarding what I bought, I picked out items I can't get at the other Japanese bakeries I've been to in the sakura pan, the yuzu cheesecake and the houjicha latte. The latte's cream is so silky. The sakura pan is also good. As for the cheesecake, while I think Charlie's (as in the cheesecake place on Redmond) makes the most yummy cheesecake, Jiro's for me probably makes the least guilty cheesecake (a very good trait to have) because it's not that sweet, and yuzu's a good fruit to have. The flaws. Outside of the parking lot across the street, the place has really bad parking, as you can only park for 20 minutes in front of the cafe. You figure that there's the lot around the corner, but don't use it, as it's for the medical center. Also, there are limited hours of operation (11-5 Wednesday to Friday and 12-4 on the weekends). Neither flaw can't be helped I suppose, especially since Belmont isn't really a suburb you think of regarding Japanese food. If only there's a fruit sando or a korokke pan. Jiro is an amazing spot for me. While it unfortunately will never be my top Japanese bakery (I've known Clover's for around 20 years), it is a very good bakery never the less. To think, I found this spot on the fly after having lunch. If you live in Belmont, visit this place often because having a Japanese bakery is like having a Mr. Mays baseball card or for some of you, a shiny Pokemon. Get there early so you don't miss out on items. +/Jiro is a jiving cafe because of its adorable staff, brilliant visuals, and a grand list of Japanese pastries and drinks. -/Carpy parking and limited hours made me twitch.

    Not. Good. At. All…read more Nothing is fresh here, it's a little pathetic really. Pork kastsu sandwich: Nearly tasteless, luke warm, cold sauce, cold untoasted bun. I would prefer a mayo or thousand island dressing. No side. Expensive for what you get Yakisoba: Some kind of cheap microwave situation. No meat. Rip off. Came here because of the good reviews and feel duped. AVOID! Bad bad bad. Just horrible.
