    18. Tuna Sandwich
    Denise Z.

    charming and friendly service & well priced sandwiches in a fairly spacious corner shop! we stopped by to grab sandwiches for a beach picnic and were greeted by the very welcoming and kind staff. they were super helpful and accommodating! the food came out very quickly as well. the sandwiches range from $11-13ish which is super reasonable! they're not gigantic, but a good amount of food and will definitely fill you up. i like how compactly they're constructed and wrapped, as it makes it very easy to eat on the go. my tuna sandwich was solid and tasted really fresh, but i wish there was more filling (veggies were lacking). in my friend's sandwich too, she mentioned that the bread to filling ratio was a bit off and that as a result the sandwich got a little dry. we still enjoyed the meal, but would recommend adding some extra veg or requesting more to even out the ratio!

    2. Avo-I-Am Sandwich
    Emily X.

    Great sandwiches and Strauss soft serve. Around $14 per sandwich. The Italian had flavorful meats, and the avocado sandwich's house-roasted turkey was delicious. The marbled rye tasted more like white bread -- soft, but missing that rye tang. Only downside: a bit on the salty side.

    This is such a cozy place with excellent service. You guys should come check it out! They have amazing coffee and really tasty sandwiches.

    The sandwiches were delicious here! This a cute spot to sit and eat. Service was great. There's ice cream, macarones, sodas, chips. Plenty to choose from.

    Ordered from this shop for our party! Sandwiches were all great/really quality. Even after hours they were still fresh! We also ordered Mac salad/potato salad ots. Both were GREAT and our crew can be picky! My husband picked up after we called a few days in advance to order a large 13 person order

    Perfect for a Sunday sandwich in the sun! Roast beef and BLT did not disappoint. Lovely staff with a hip vibe. Can't wait to try everything else on their menu - options for everyone!

    Rose's Sandwich Shop is approaching it's 1-year anniversary, and it's top quality sandwiches and great service has not changed. What has changed are things like: -more seating -bigger chip display -offers soft serve -serves coffee I was just there last Friday, and ordered "The Alameda" sandwich. Great sandwich, loaded with fresh turkey. Rose told me they roast 1-2 turkeys a day on-site. It doesn't get any fresher than that!

    Rose's Sandwich Shop opened in Aria Market's vacated space. Outside and inside seating available. Sandwich specialist with many options/varietals. Many chips too Offerings: Sandwiches, salads, drinks, soft serve ice cream. Quick service. Got cone after paying while i was shooting a video. Licks: half & half soft serve Strauss organic ice cream (3.75) -chocolate & vanilla intermixed. Seldom see strauss as a base for ice cream. Couldn't pass it up. -creamy, velvety, silky like, sublte sweetness. Chocolate flecks in chocolate next to vanilla notes. *tastes vastly superior to generic soft serves..

    Excellent variety of sandwiches, chips, and drinks! They also offer ice cream if you're in the mood for dessert. I'll definitely be returning!

    The Angela (turkey sandwich)
    Tony M.

    Sandwiches are in my top ten favorite foods, so I was excited to try this place after reading so many stellar Yelp reviews. The menu has a great selection of sandwiches, many of them locally themed, which I really liked. There's a good variety of meats and bread options. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the space itself is spacious and comfortable. It feels like the perfect spot to meet someone for lunch, enjoy some food, and chat for a while. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the tables are clean and comfortable. I can definitely see myself coming back for a relaxed lunch. I ordered The Angela, a variation of a turkey sandwich. It was good, but it didn't blow me away. The turkey was hand-carved, which was a nice touch, but overall, it was a pretty regular sandwich on a basic roll. One of the highlights here is the Straus soft-serve ice cream. If you've had it before, you know it's a special treat. Overall, this is a solid sandwich shop with a great atmosphere, friendly service, and some nice menu options. I'd come back to try another sandwich and definitely the soft-serve.

    I love sandwiches. They're loaded and make me satisfied. I went with the Alameda sandwich which I enjoy having unique items on the menu like this. I took it with a Dutch crunch roll. Vibe is very calm and clean. Looks very local and family owned. You have the basics for a sandwich, crisps and a drink. Plenty of seating. The sandwich was nice and flavourful. The cranberry sauce gives it a sweet yet not overpowering kick to it. Bread was soft and fresh yet a soft crunch. Food is done in front of you and service was prompt. I'd come back.

    We ordered two sandwiches over the weekend. I ordered me a BLT with avocado and light lettuce. We had asked them if the bacon would be hot, and they said yes. But when I receive the BLT, they did not put any tomatoes and the whole sandwich was cold. The bacon was cold and so was the bread. I was able to microwave the bacon. A little disappointed, that the whole BLT was cold.

    Avo-I-Am Sandwich

    Love this place! Sandwiches are always fresh, tasty, and made just right. Great portions, great flavors, and super friendly service. Easy go-to spot when you want a solid, satisfying sandwich. Highly recommend!

    A Staple in Our Office!…read more Today, we had an impromptu all-hands meeting, and I needed to put in a rush order for 15 sandwiches at 10 AM. The team at Sandwich Board went above and beyond, having everything ready 15 minutes early, even during their busy lunch rush!

My dad wanted everything on his sandwich as well as lite mustard and etc and the lady who makes the sandwiches wasn't listening and kept trying to say she got it and she's working on it. I've worked in food service for years and it is important to hear what a customer is asking for because after all, it's their food. We got home, no tomatoes, sandwich was missing stuff, my boyfriend's sandwich was missing stuff. It was disappointing. My father was very upset. I think they could be more friendly as well as being more adapting to certain people who are just communicating a specific need or want in their purchase. We will be calling later in hopes to remove or change this review. Thank you.

Great texture. Yet despite the heartiness, you can really taste the quality of the ingredients (they source their ingredients from Italy). I've enjoyed talking to the wife (co-owner with her husband). She's really friendly and passionate about the food she serves. She told me her husband is from Italy, and you can really feel the pride in the food. Pro tips: It's best to call in early to order ahead! You can pay at pickup. Why? Because they often sell out early! Once the bread runs out, you're out of luck (and there will be a sign on the front door saying so). There can also be a very long wait time if there are a lot of orders. Lastly, check their IG everyday for the sandwich they're promoting that day based on their available ingredients! Seriously can't wait to return and try the meatball sandwich.

Fowl + Fare operates from a small storefront right next to the Shanvi Indian Grocery store on Santa Clara Ave (near Broadway). This place is either takeout or eat outside on picnic tables. I took my food to-go. I had the Citric Hot Chicken Sandwich w/ Seasoned Fries. I liked the Citric Hot Chicken Sandwich. It was spicy, but not numbing hot. The slaw sort of smoothed out the spicy heat. It's made from thigh meat, so it's moist and easy to eat. I didn't like the seasoned fries. They cut the potatoes into thin fries that don't travel well as takeout. Probably okay if you ate them right there, fresh from the kitchen. If I go back, I'm just getting a sandwich.....no fries.

All other times, they are sooo slow that I walk out. They're concentrating too much on the ambience. Groceries are scant. Mostly seasonings, cheeses, and a very slim selection of meats. Service is EXTREMELY relaxed... For grocery shoppers, y'all will need to get a clue and notice when customers want cute service, or to just get in and get out. If that part is good, we can get to know each other as I come and go. But if I think your place is too inconvenient, I will find a more convenient convenience store. Good luck! For a grocery/cafe, or whatever store this they are going for, all I can say is that it's cute and has decent atmosphere for a coffee shop. Everything else they are trying to do seems to give me the feeling of being lost every timing in.
