This cafe is very basic. I was disappointed in the salad I bought. Nothing was house made. Bag spinach. Canned beets and "fruit cup" orange segments. The croutons would be so easy to make in house. They are a deli, after all, and probably have plenty of day- old bread. Even the salad dressing tasted like slightly slimy grocery store bottled dressing. The staff isn't very welcoming. Next time I will spend my $ 11.75at a better cafe. read more

I stopped by Roccab's to get some work done and honestly, I'm so glad I did! The atmosphere is super homey and it literally feels like your tías are in the back cooking up quick comfort food with love. The vibe is calm, cozy, and perfect for getting some work done while enjoying good food. You can't go wrong with their paninis and mine was perfectly toasted and full of flavor. The strawberry banana smoothie hit the spot. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. If I'm ever in the area again, this will definitely be my go to spot to grab a bite, relax, and get some work done. Highly recommend read more

Quick service and cafe was cute. Food was alright, nothing special. Was recommended the Turkey Pesto panini. The chicken added to the Greek salad was a little dry and tough. I didn't enjoy the latte, pretty diluted and coffee taste was weak. Soy latte, turkey pesto panini, and Greek salad with chicken for $35. read more

I started calling at 1:30p on 1/19/26 and there was no answer, however, when I googled them, the hours for today say 8am-3pm. I decided to go to Sprouts to get a salad instead. When I passed by Roccabs at 1:40pm same day, the doors were open and patrons were inside eating lunch. I continued to call and no one was answering the phones. After I finished shopping at Sprouts, I returned to my car and decided to go to Roccabs in person. I was still calling and still no one answered. I pulled up in front of the deli before 2pm and there were still patrons dining "inside" of the deli. I got out of my car and headed inside only to meet one of the employees as she was leaving and she smiled and said, "Im sorry we are closing now". I looked over at the two women who were sitting down and eating their lunch, as I was turned away. There were no hours posted on the door, and everyone behind the counter was literally standing around talking. I probably will not return based on the service. Not answering the phones, but your doors are open and you are serving patrons who were white and turning away people of color coming through the door, during normal business hours according to Google and no signs on the door indicating special hours today. All while turning away POC patrons on MLK day. Nope!!! Do better Roccab. You could have taken the time to post special hours and since you were in fact open, you could have answered the phones to let customers know you had special hours today or that you were Not open to the public. These are simple things to do. And it looks really awkward telling someone you are not open, when you have other people dining inside your establishment. read more

It's a cute little place, with friendly service, a pretty outdoor deck, and a good vibe. I came here because I heard they made panini, and I was craving one. Most sandwich shops don't do that. The real bummer was the sandwich itself. It was turkey in name only. Paper, thin slices of mostly salt and gelatin that you can actually see through. I could've bitten through the sandwich without any teeth. If they up the quality of their meats and cheeses, this place would really shine. read more

I frequent this cafe/deli. I love to get the grilled chicken panini with extra mayo. It's so simple, but so good. I always enjoy the panini whenever I get it. They do get busy. Sometimes, I try and call to place my order and no one is able to pick up my call. The other day I came in to order and it took about 15 minutes to get my order so not bad. The sandwich ends up being a little over $15 which is expensive, especially with the size of the panini, but worth it to me. Parking can be difficult when it is lunch time as there is only street parking. Whenever I have had put coins in the meter, they never work. So I downloaded the Park Mobile App so I am able to pay through there when I stop by to pick up lunch. I have never eaten at the cafe, but they do have indoor and outdoor dining. The outdoor dining is nice because of all the greenery you can enjoy while having lunch! read more

They're always so friendly and I love getting their carnitas torta with a Cesar salad, the carnitas are on the sweet side but it's so delicious and the Cesar salad is evenly coated with tons of parm. They have a beautiful patio/balcony you can at with beautiful views. Don't be shy to come! everything here is amazing you can never go wrong. read more

I've been coming here since I was a little girl. My dad used to bring me to get a sandwich then go to the small park area across the street. To this day, they have not failed me. The food is always fresh and delicious. Prices have gone up just a bit, but its understandable given the time we are in right now. Nonetheless, I do not hesitate the price because of the EXCELLENT customer service and delicious food. 10/10 recommend if you're in the area. read more

I have tried 4 types of sandwiches and they are sooo good The torta de carnitas is really good, just missing some jalapeños, but nothing we cannot fixed. The torta is available only on Fridays if you want to try it. I also like they put good effort in layering each ingredient in orderly way. I do recommend order for catering too. This place for me is overpriced, but economy is a mess everywhere, so I don't blame them. I prefer to support this kind of local places than anything else. read more

With this heat wave in the Bay, we wanted something lighter for lunch, so we ordered sandwiches from Roccab's Cafe & Deli located in Downtown SL. They're only open for breakfast and lunch, so the menu features breakfast and lunch sandwiches, paninis, salads, and an assortment of cold and hot beverages. I've wanted to try Roccab's for a while, so ordered a variety of items for us to try: Denver Breakfast Sandwich, Caprese Panini (no Basil for me), Portobello Panini, Pastrami Sandwich, and Torta of Carnitas. All were flavorful and came on either a Semifreddi's French Roll or Herb Focaccia, which we really enjoyed (well because carbs of course). Ingredients were fresh and special instructions followed (thank you!). Overall, we were happy with our meal. I wouldn't say that the sandwiches were surprising in any way, but were they made well, tasty, and something we'd order again? Yes, yes, and yes! read more

I LOVE this place! Their sandwiches are unequaled. We like to treat ourselves there and make an effort to drive to San Leandro for them. However, I only gave 4 stars because of their lack of proper communication. One, they rarely answer the phone and there's no personalized answering machine message which would be ideal to communicate to customer if they closed early or closing for certain holidays. Two, this also pertains to the website, who according to them, are open Monday - Friday, but we've come by during business hours and they are closed. We now call to check, but again, no messages, no answer. No updates on the website. If they took care of this, they would definitely be a 5 star place! read more

** simple & clean sandwich spot for the work week** Their menu isn't extensive and it's awfully pricey for simple salads and sandwiches BUT a healthy alternative and tasty meals no less. They have a cute patio in the rear of the building with quaint tables for 2. Apparently you can bring your dog and they'll provide a doggy bowl with water out back :-) For $13 you can enjoy a refreshing mango green tea ( ask for honey) and a harvest salad (strawberries,walnuts, spinach, feat add chicken for extra) slightly reminiscent of Panera without the awesome poppyseed dressing. All in all- tasty chicken salad , nice serving size, I'd eat here if i worked nearby but I'm not angling for this place any other time read more

Neighborhood Coffee is one of my favorite cafes in all of the Bay Area. Just don't tell anyone…read morebecause I want it to be one of our best kept secrets. Shhhh...! (It was worth the 13 mile drive for me.) With floor to ceiling windows welcoming in the comfort of daylight and warmth of Californian sunshine (thank you A/C), this cafe sits high above Castro Valley overlooking the distant hills and the bay, depending on where you sit. It's in the front space of a church and upon walking in (my third visit), I feel held by the Lord. Strangely, I'm feeling tears well up because this is the exact sort of space I've been needing as I go through some challenging life circumstances. It is peaceful here but it also has a vibrant community energy on a Thursday late morning. This space is welcoming to all of the bay are community and if you didn't know it was a church, you would never know. It's for the whole neighborhood and beyond. There are tall round tables, bar tables, normal round tables, armchairs at tables, long barnhouse style tables. This space was thoughtfully curated to allow for relationships to be grown, work to be done, and quiet time to be experienced. The Americano I had is nice and strong (whoowee... I'm awake now!). They had interesting drink options and some baked goods. Prices were average for the Bay Area. I love that the cafe supports community outreach. From the web, it partners with this church and community programs. It seems to operate around community support and social impact initiatives. I love that they actively support Inclusion & Autism awareness and medical debt relief (WOW!). This is a cafe that is doing it right!

Service just ended so a lot of cars were leaving as we arrived. Don't recommend getting in line right after service because I waited over 30 minutes just to get two drinks. The lavender lemonade was very refreshing and not too sweet. The matcha latte on the other hand tasted watered down, so I could barely taste the matcha, super disappointing. It was a nice and sunny day so we decided to sit outside. The inside was very spacious, but I was overstimulated from all of people talking, especially when I was waiting in line. A good spot to stop by to grab a drink and enjoy the view outside if you're in the area. Glad I meet the time to check this place out.

This an unknown secret in Berkeley, definitely the place to be for lunch. Morning coffee is great as well. Forget Starbucks, come here where your first encounter will definitely not be your last. Their sandwiches are mouthwatering and it is at a reasonable price. I have actually had them cater both breakfast and lunch for two of my events. All the people in attendance really enjoyed the food and it was a bargain for the amount in which we received. read more

By far one of the best sandwiches in the bay area. The atmosphere is great. You feel like all the meals are made with love. Maria (the owner) is a lovely person and will treat you wonderfully.

There's a small patio outside with 2-3 tables. So this place is mainly a takeout shop. As you enter, there's a coffee/drink menu on the left wall, and a sandwich menu on the rightside wall. I ordered a Roast Beef sandwich (as-is) for $10.50. Service was okay. It was near closing time, and it seemed like they weren't expecting more customers. The roast beef sandwich was fair. It was heavy on mustard, and needed a little more mayo. This place is perfect for working people who want a quick coffee and/or sandwich.

When it comes to creativity,the fellas and I gave Doug's an A+. Taste-wise, the guys said the pancakes were decent but not amazing, that they were a bit too dense and not fluffy enough. My son did say though that the Biscoff pancakes were super delicious. My hashbrowns and eggs were decent, but the crab cakes were nothing to write home about. While fried just right, they tasted pretty fishy, which means they probably weren't very fresh. Maybe Doug's uses canned crab for their crab cakes, in which case I recommend they use fresh crab and charge more for the dish. All in all I give Doug's three and a half stars.
