There are a lot of reasons why I love Ofelia's Kitchen. I was at a client in Livermore for a couple of weeks when I found out about this place. It's the first result that showed up on Yelp even though it was a mile or two away. I'm not a sandwich person but I decided to try this place out. It also looked pretty healthy to me, as my coworkers at that time were health-conscious. I ordered through the phone and went for a pick-up. It's located in the plaza where T4 is, tucked away at the left corner. I was pretty tempted to get boba, but I knew I shouldn't because again, we're trying to be healthy. I went in and wow, it felt like I was at an opening scene of a Maroon 5 or Train music video. Or a random happy song. Love was in the air. It's a mom and pop shop, so it felt like everyone's family and work together. There was an old couple who was very into each other at one of the tables. BFF's hanging out together. It was surreal. Anyway, the sandwiches were great! I think no matter what sandwich you get, it'll be good. I also got some cookies and brownies for my team. They were great, not too sweet or bland. Be mindful though that their sandwiches could be small if you eat a lot. For me it's perfect. Lastly, service was GREAT! Everyone is friendly and they go above and beyond your needs. read more

This place is delicious. I will be coming here again. I love that they make their bread fresh daily. It's also awesome they have sprouts.

We ordered from Ofelia's this week for a business lunch and the sandwiches were so fresh and delicious. Thanks so much! Highly recommend!

The healthy choice for lunch in Livermore. Food is tasty and they fresh bake third on bread.

A sandwich this pricey should come w cheese. Oh well. Yummy bread and great vegetarian options. Freezing inside ! Please heat the place in the winter. read more

I'm growing old waiting for my sandwich... 30 minutes is too long... what, are they making the bread from scratch? This just in... got my sandwich after maybe 35 minutes. Crab salad. Tasted ok but not worth the 30+ minute wait. By the way, the place was NOT crowded. I wish they had more options for bread and more filling meals for the price. My crust was kinda stale. Not sure why everyone else seems to like this place so much. This is our second time coming with almost identical results. Good luck I guess read more

Small little restaurant off of east avenue in Livermore! Super good sandwiches and milkshakes!!!

I joined friends for lunch. The ordering process is easy. Order food and someone calls your name when your meal is ready. The food is simply delicious, super healthy food. The food prices are dirt cheap. 1/2 sandwich + a cup of soup + a soda was about $11. I had an artichoke sandwich with cauliflower soup for lunch. I was undecided on whether to have cauliflower or lentil. The person taking my order offered to give me a sample of each. I'm glad she did. I enjoyed both -- a lot, but heh, where can you get cauliflower soup that tastes wonderful?! And, no it wasn't creamy either. Ask for a sample too. By the way, I loved the food so much I purchased another meal to bring home for dinner! According to their business card, the hours of operation are Monday - Saturday from 10:30am - 4:00pm. Enjoy!! read more

Tried this place today and while the food was great, the service was better. The women who helped us were SO kind and SO helpful. How refreshing to have such kind people serve you. Can't wait to go back. read more

The boyfriend absolutely loves this mom and pop sandwich place. He grew up in the East Bay and says whenever he is in the Livermore area always comes to this place. I personally enjoyed it also. I liked that you could order half sandwiches. The bread is so soft and made in-house. Ordered a half crab salad and half roast beef with avocado. It was just the right amount before going wine tasting! There's two workers plus the actual owner, so getting our sandwiches took a pretty long time even though the place wasn't packed. read more

Amazing sandwiches with delicious fresh baked bread! Everyone here was really nice and ordering was easy. They really make your sandwich with care, which is something rare these days. Definitely our go-to sandwich spot in Livermore! I also tried the frozen yogurt, which was yummy and hit the spot on a 100+ degree day =) Ofelia's is located past T4 along the yellow wall. There's indoor seating with AC or an outdoor patio where you can hear your name over an speaker once your order is ready. read more

Best sandwiches and such nice people. Love coming here. Sometimes it takes a bit of a wait, but it's worth it. Everyone is working hard to make it perfect. read more

I visited Ofelia's Kitchen three times. ALL three times my order was wrong. #1) ordered egg salad on white toast, got Rye bread not toasted. 2) Ordered a chicken salad on toast with lettuce and tomato. Got a tuna salad on white untoasted bread. Finally, ordered a crab melt. Got a chicken salad melt. Never compensated, only apology. I give them two stars because friendly servers. Never again. Back to Subway and Mr Pickles. read more

Best. Sandwiches. Ever. This is my favorite go-to place for sandwiches. Fresh, tasty. read more

Came in on Tuesday, busy little place, clean and very nice , outside seating as well. Sandwich was excellent, all fresh ingredients, fantastic bread and lots of Turkey! Fantastic value, great place to stop, have a sandwich and visit, oh great deserts too! Loved it! read more

They make their own bread. I think that's enough for the 5 stars! The chicken salad sandwich is amazing. It's a great local spot for yummy sandwiches and they have a bunch of other goodies too! read more

After a short afternoon of wine tasting, I decided to check out Ofelia's Kitchen. I learned months ago how good it was and that there were lots of vegan sandwich options to go along with the usual suspects of ham, turkey and roast beef. I can't believe it's taken me this long to finally check this place out! The first thing that caught my eye when I walked in was that the decor is very homey feeling. Kinda like if your grandma had started up a restaurant. Not hip, very unassuming, yet incredibly welcoming. Ofelia herself is a sweetheart. She gave samples of the two soups for the day, which also happened to be dairy free. The minestrone was really good but the broccoli soup really struck me with it's delicious, fresh flavor without cheese or cream. I did need to add a lil' salt 'n pepper but ordered a cup of that along with the lentil meatloaf sandwich from the cute lil' cashier. The best part about the sandwich was the thickly sliced homemade wheat bread. Since I prefer sourdough I was initially disappointed that this is the only bread offered. Thankfully it's so dense with flavor 'n fresh, I could eat it all day. The lentil loaf itself was more of a spread than an actual slice of imitation meatloaf. While it was really good along with the fresh veggies, I think I would prefer it toasted next time. I also ordered the artichoke veggie. It was really good with it's red pepper sauce and crusty, toasted bread. Overall for the two sandwiches, the soup, and a can of soda it was $20ish. A little on the pricey side for a lunch but where else in Livermore are you going to get a great veggie sandwich and actually have options? In fact, if you're a vegetarian and go to Togo's, Subway, or that place with the dancing pickle instead, rip up your V card (no, not that one!) now! *Especially when Subway likes to get sloppy with the meat on the serving line.* Eating at Ofelia's is like getting a sandwich from mom. And really, who doesn't love that? read more

Ofelia makes the most wonderful sandwiches I have ever tasted! There is so much flavor without being too heavy and it still fills up my stomach, not to mention how healthy her sandwiches are! How are other restaurants not following the same credo? Healthy doesn't have to be horrible, in fact, in this case, healthy is heavenly! I had a difficult time finding it at first, but now that I know where it is, I'm coming back as often as I can. This is one place where I can veg guilt-free. read more

This place is a gem! It's small, clean, and cozy. The man that took I order I believe is the owner. He was very kind and informative about the menu. They have so many options for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans. They have an actual lentil loaf sandwich which is great for vegans and vegetarians. Too often sandwich shops just provide fake meat and fake cheese options for vegan sandwiches. Offelias offers healthier sandwiches with real vegetables as the filler. We ordered the chicken salad sandwich, the eggplant sandwich, and the artichoke sandwich. All were delicious and we ate every bite. Without a doubt I'll be back to try their other sandwich options. read more

I love sandwiches. I could eat them Every. Single. Day. Truth be told, I've always felt like Livermore was lacking in a good Mom & Pop deli. But apparently it has been right around the corner the whole time! Ofelia's Kitchen is definitely a hidden gem in the middle of Livermore. I've lived just down the street my whole life and had only been in once or twice maybe 10 years ago when a friend of mine worked here. But recently my sister suggested we stop in for lunch and I've been addicted ever since! #1 The service is just wonderful. You absolutely feel like you've been invited into Ofelia's home for a meal. Her, her husband, and all of the staff are always so warm and welcoming. #2 The homemade honey wheat bread is to die for. I've even bought whole loaves to take home! #3 It's healthy, so I don't feel at all guilty about my Ofelia's cravings. Veggies are fresh, bread is whole wheat, soups are vegetarian, lactose free, low fat and low sodium! #4 It's a small locally-owned business. Small business are a part of what makes Livermore so great. There is no way you'll find the same service or quality food at the nearby Subway or Togo chains, absolutely no way. I hope that's enough reasons to persuade you to stop in to Ofelia's if you haven't tried it before. I'm a simple person and love the Turkey sandwich, but also highly recommend trying the crab melt and the broccoli soup. read more

This says it all:......We come here for lunch on average once a week. It's as close to home cooking as possible. Service is great, food is varied, healthy, and delicious. Whenever I eat here I walk away feeling good. The food is light and healthy. read more

Just a note for everyone! They have just added even MORE vegetarian options and are now open on Saturday's at lunchtime!!! read more

I don't understand how this place got such high reviews.... The sandwiches are over priced and are very small. There is way more bread than anything else. My girlfriend wanted the froyo but when we got it she said it was more like ice cream than froyo. Ofelia and her husband im guessing are really nice, but I would not go back for sandwiches there I left hungry and wishing I had eaten elsewhere read more

This place makes very good, high quality sandwiches and soups. The place is hard to find, in a strip mall but not visible from the parking lot. The term "hole in the wall" really does describe the place. It is clear this place is run and operated by the owners. This place really is of high quality standards, totally different compared to today's franchise sandwich shops. However, for that high quality comes a cost. The sandwiches and soups are not cheap, and the portion sizes are small. Expect to pay $10 before taxes for a small (Ofelia's whole size) sandwich and soup (Ofelia's large size). Even after eating Ofelia's largest portion sizes of each, I am only barely no longer hungry. I would frequent this place much more often if the prices were a few dollars cheaper. However, I would not want to sacrafice the high quality available from this locally owned and operated sandwich maker. I recommend to check it out, but expect to pay for it and not leave stuffed. read more

Ofelia is a sweetheart! It's like going to Mom's for an excellent home made sandwich. The bread is special, The ingredients are fresh, and The service is with a great big smile. Ofelia our group will be back! Thanks to Yelp, we found this buried treasure. read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid and it's still the best place in Livermore for a sandwich by far. If you want to support local mom and pops places in the area you live then this is your place. Don't pay attention to the silly people using Yelp as a pretentious food blog and go eat here. read more

Ofelia's Kitchen - Sandwiches Near Me - Livermore, California

I love the bread and simplicity of the sandwiches. The hot sandwiches are amazing and the cold are too!! The salads are also excellent! Although I do wish that the sandwiches were a little bigger in size (as far as the bread size cause it really is that good) but they do make sure to really pack in the filling! read more

Everybody knows everybody. It's that kind of place. It's homey, the food is organic and fresh, and it's really reasonably priced. My Reuben wasn't the best ever; the bread needed to be hard toasted because it got really soggy very quickly. But the saurkraut and pastrami was plentiful and fresh. Everybody was pleasant, helpful, and it's just a nice place to go. I think it's more of an organic vegetarian kind of place, so if that's your thing, definitely check it out. read more

This place is great at what it does. It is a no-frills, family-owned restaurant. They don't have the largest menu, but they make their sandwiches and soups with care and love. It's a great place to get something quick to eat on your way to Livermore for wine tasting. I personally got the crab sandwich (which was made with imitating crab). It was tasty, simple, and hit the spot. read more

Ok, let me start by saying the good things about this place: - Food was good - The staff were great - The place is clean. So 3 stars for that. The bad: - Way too expensive for a sandwich place - Long wait to get my sandwich I don't think I'll be coming back here again read more

Wow, just WOW. I have been living in Livermore for almost 10 years, and I just NOW discovered this place. My boyfriend and I came here for the first time the other day before going for a hike. We were going to eat when we got to the top of the hill for a great treat. But NO, during the car ride there my mouth would NOT stop watering. The aroma coming from the paper bag was so tantalizing. By the time we arrived we both knew instantly that we couldn't resist. There was no way that I could walk up the top of the hill knowing that there's a delicious sandwich awaiting to be eaten. The first bite into my perfectly made sandwich was absolutely amazing. I knew right then and there, that there is no other competition to this place. This IS the place. read more

Awesome list of veggie friendly sandwiches on their Herbivore menu! I have only tried the cheese melt so far, but it's always super fresh and the bread is amazing. They also have a great smoothie menu. Always great customer service when I visit. read more

Ofelia's Kitchen - Cheese Melt with all the produce - Sandwiches Near Me - Livermore, California

This is a special little sandwich shop. It's tucked away in a strip mall by a cemetery and without yelp, I never would have found it. I walked into Ofelia's on a Monday afternoon. They have a delicious looking menu with a ton of variety. I ordered a ham sandwich for my grandpa but couldn't decide on one for myself so Ofelia (at least I'm assuming it was her) told me she would start on the ham while I decided. I settled on a hummus veggie and added avocado to it. My 8 year old cousin wanted a plain ham sandwich and Ofelia kindly offered to cut the crust off. I also ordered a bowl of split pea soup. I think we also added a martinelli apple juice to that, and the total was $24. Pretty good for 3 sandwiches and a large soup. Sandwiches were all delicious, the hummus was homemade and still had small chunks of garbanzo beans in it. The bread was thick, soft, and tasted fresh. The split pea soup was yummy as well and tasted like vegetables (like it should!) instead of ham. I remember seeing something in the shop that said all the ingredients were organic. I don't know if that's true, but they sure tasted fresh. My office is in Livermore but I mostly work from home in Alameda so I know I unfortunately won't become a regular. But if I was closer, THIS would be my go-to sandwich place. read more

My wife introduced me to this place. It has the best sandwiches, well, pretty much anywhere. She's been going here about 10 years, and I've been going a couple years now. It is a regular stop whenever we are in the area. They bake their own bread fresh daily, and they have a great selection of vegan and veggie sandwiches as well. Everything is simply flavored and healthy. ...and that's from someone who doesn't normally choose "healthy" when eating out. If you stop by, the best sandwich is the good earth WITH chicken salad on it. Yum. read more

Ofelia's Kitchen - Good earth with chicken salad. - Sandwiches Near Me - Livermore, California

Ofelia makes the best sandwiches I have ever tasted in my life. The bread is baked fresh daily (there's only one kind of bread offered, but it is sooo good). I used to work in Livermore & would come here almost every day. I no longer work in the area, so can only come in when I've called in sick. I wish they were open Saturdays, because I would probably be there every single Saturday afternoon. My favorite sandwich is the tuna salad, but I've tried others & they are quite delish. Ofelia herself is sweet & remembers previous orders. They have many tables set up & have reading material available, too. I heart this place! Update: Now open on Saturdays!!!!!!! read more

As a big fan of both Yelp and food, I have decided to contribute more reviews- and where better to start than Ofelia's? At the risk of making the lunch wait longer at this quiet joint (I never would have found it without yelp though, so pay it forward)- go try Ofelia's. Let's see, the first thing that comes to mind is that noise that Homer makes with drool on the corner of his mouth (something like MmmHmmmMmmmmm)!! I think this is the best sandwich in Livermore!! Ofelia and Jay are awesome too- they are kind and interesting, if they're not slammed, chat with them. Good food from great people- what more could you want? Sammys- they are all brilliant, but the tuna salad is my favorite if you're into that sort of thing. Her fresh baked bread is amazing, so I think all sandwiches are probably pretty solid! Try a homemade soup too while you're at it. A delicious hidden treasure of the neighborhood! read more

Incredible sandwiches, soups and smoothies, and everything is super fresh! Such a nice change of pace to eat food made with love and from fresh ingredients; even the bread is made there daily! They make everything in house and you can even watch your food being carefully prepared since the kitchen is visible from the register. It's also hard to go wrong with anything on the menu here (always a sign of a great place, in my opinion). I wish I lived closer so that I could come here more often. I highly recommend going there if you're in the mood for delicious food and service that makes you feel right at home (which should be always, haha). Definitely a "must visit" if you're anywhere near here. You can thank me later :) read more

I am not a sandwich place kind of person, but after my wife insisted we needed to go in because of what she had heard, I agreed to give Ofelia's Kitchen a try. Amazing bread made daily and amazing sandwiches! The family that runs it are genuinely wonderful people and gracious to their customers. Lastly, I'd also recommend the potato salad, that's from an old family recipe; soon to be on the menu full-time! read more

I adore this place. Very healthy. Bread and soup baked and made right in the kitchen. Super cute decoration and nice service! The only downside is they serve on paper plates (not-so-eco friendly) which deters from the veganistic heathy vibe and it's a little further away from downtown, but not too far for the venue. Indoor and outdoor seating too! :) read more
