came here recently and wow... that sourdough is no joke. we ordered to-go and sam said the guy helping him (maybe the owner or manager?) was super friendly and genuinely delightful. that already made the experience feel good before we even took a bite. we tried the french dip and the garlic turkey pesto. let me just say -- the TEXTURE of the sourdough??? chef's kiss. crusty on the outside, perfectly chewy inside, exactly how good sourdough should be. it honestly makes other sourdough spots taste a little mediocre in comparison. the french dip was my favorite. the au jus wasn't overly salty (which I appreciate), and everything just felt balanced and well executed. sam loved the garlic turkey pesto -- the mustard threw us off at first, but the more we ate it, the more it all came together in a really nice way. only con is the price. it's definitely on the higher end for sandwiches, which is the main reason I wouldn't order it super regularly. that said, you can tell the bread is baked in-house and super fresh, so I can't be too mad about it. overall, really happy we tried this spot and would absolutely come back when we're craving legit sourdough. read more

The bread was delicious, as we expected. The outside was crunchy and the inside was soft and yummy. We split an 8 inch caprese sandwich. $16.99 for an 8 inch sandwich is pretty steep. $14.99 for 6 inch sandwich. The sandwich was good but there was too many competing flavors. Pesto aioli and something else were heavily applied and took away from the sandwich. We'll be back but will order more carefully. The staff was terrific and the place sparkling clean. read more

While Sourdough & Co. is renowned for their freshly baked, warm sourdough bread and their deli style sandwiches, I wasn't that impressed during my recent lunch stop. Sourdough & Co. is located in the Cypress Village shopping center (in Irvine) ~ on the corner of Jeffrey & Trabuco Rd, near Mokkoji and Starbucks. It adopted the coveted corner lot spot of the plaza where Baskin Robbin's and Cauldron ice cream use to be. The eatery has limited seating indoors and some community outdoor patio seating. The setup is very Subway-ish, minimal in decor. Aside from the big American flag displayed proudly as you walk in, the inside is very unimpressionable. The hubs and I were not greeted or even acknowledged by staff upon arrival, even though there were 2 workers behind the counter. There literally was just 3 other pairs of people within the store besides us and only one of which was awaiting their food order. We eventually figured out on our own to order from the kiosk. I ended up ordering the BBQ chicken flat bread ($12.99) ~ which had seasoned chicken, a creamy white sauce, a rich blend of cheeses, barbeque sauce, onions and cilantro. A bit small for the price point, but still enough portion for me, as I tend to eat lighter for lunch. The dough felt a lil undercooked and I wished the overall meal was a bit crispier. It was ok, IMO. I also ordered a cup of the clam chowder, which again was a bit disappointing. It lacked the hearty, flavorful clams and just seemed to be filled with potatoes. Nothing too memorable. Pass for $7.99. My hubs ordered the 8" cholula chicken specialty sandwich ($16.99), which was prepared hot with carved chicken marinated in green chili cholula & jalapeno ranch dressing. house spread, lettuce, tomato, crisp jalapeno, and pepper jack cheese. He also said it was ok, just barely a step up from Subway. We both agreed that the sourdough bread was good, but it didn't wow us. All in all, we likely won't be back. But we are always willing to try a place once. read more

This is a great place if you're craving a sandwich or want a quick bite. I've been back multiple times for their Cranberry Turkey Sandwich, which seems to be a holiday special (I hope it stays around). I love how crispy the outside of the bread is and the cranberry is not too overpowering. I've tried a couple of their soups too and those are tasty as well. The service depends a bit when you go and how busy it gets, but for the most part the staff are friendly and quick. If you're looking to dine-in, there are seating indoors and some options outdoors too. read more

Sourdough & Co - Cranberry Turkey Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Irvine, California

Food here was great! The flavors were strong without being too overpowering, and the bread was nice and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Some sourdough breads you get may be a bit too hard but this was a great consistency! I got the French dip sandwich 6", and the Barbecue chicken flatbread. The French dip had a good amount of beef and the au jus dip was not too salty! The flatbread was great as well, not too cheesy and had a great flavor! It did take about 20 mins to get my 2 orders, so expect some wait especially when it gets busy. The food is also on the pricier side. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the inside was kept clean. I'll probably come back and try their clam chowder and other menu items as they do look pretty good as well! read more

4" Italian sandwich for $9.99: 4/5. Nice meal with the sharp-tasting proteins and fresh sourdough bread. Kinda funny how everything slid out from between the bread after each bite, but I guess that's part of the experience. The sandwich came with a pickle spear (yes!!) and two thin slices of bread. Small Signature Mac & Cheese for $7.99: 3/5. The roux and pasta looked great, but this unfortunately wasn't strongly cheesy enough for me. Too pricey for the bland taste and the small portion (in a tiny cup!). Chocolate Chip Cookie for $3.49: 5/5. I enjoyed the texture and the many chocolate chips. Super good heated up, too. I tried my friend's flatbread, and it tasted amazing! Cheesy and not too doughy, with a good spread of meat. I'll try a flatbread the next time I visit. Interior had a simple, deli-shop atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating were available. Staff were friendly and accommodating. The place the bustling on a sweltering hot Saturday afternoon, but we luckily we were able to grab a table inside the shop. read more

Eh. As my grandpa would say, "it's food". But flavorless, bland, and overpriced. They said they made their bread there, but they don't make it there. read more

So unprofessional. The girl taking my order was picking her zit and then used same hands to make sandwich. Gross. Then she was making someone's sandwich and messed up with sauce and just transferred the meat with the wrong sauce to a new bread. Sandwich was also wrong!!! No onion read more

So I normally avoid chain sandwich shops because I think the bread is yucky (Subway, Quiznos, etc.) BUT after trying Sourdough & Co I am now a huge fan because their bread is delicious! Their sourdough bread is freshly baked into baguettes and they are delicious! In addition to the sandwiches, you can also get a bread bowl (yum!) or baguettes to take home or even to 'take and bake' at home. Their sourdough also really tastes like sourdough since it's slightly tart the way a sourdough should be and it's super soft/fluffy on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside - the bread is perfection! They also have a fun variety of sandwiches! My favorites are the French Dip, the Caprese, the Turkey Pesto and also you can build your own. The service at the Jeffrey location was outstanding! A man named Lucky was especially helpful! Be sure to try their flatbreads and fresh baked cookies too but the bread for sure is the star! Best sandwich shop in the area!! They also have a Huntington Beach location as well. read more

Sourdough & Co - Close up of their sourdough bread (I bought a baguette to slice/enjoy at home) DELICIOUS!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Irvine, California

I was greeted promptly and friendly. Went right after work so it was quiet in the restaurant; there were few customers there eating and ordering. Purchased the French Dip, as well as the Cranberry Turkey; the sandwiches are very good. Love the freshness of the bread and the flavors of the meats and condiments on both were rich, tasty, and satisfying. The only thing I would recommend is that the cashier be kept separate from handling food as it is unsanitary to have gloves on that have been handling cash and the phone. Another person was also preparing food but didn't see if he had gloves on was another concern. Please address this because the sandwiches are too good. read more

I came here on a weekday for dinner and let I'm not even a sourdough person but this place totally changed my mind. I got the bread bowl and the tuna salad both with their sourdough bread and wow it was so good. The bread bowl even comes with this garlic bread top that's extra crunchy and super yummy. They've got indoor and outdoor seating so you can chill wherever and the staff is super nice. My food came out fast and everything was fresh and tasty. read more

While they have an attractive variety of menu items (salads, sandwiches, flat breads, and soups), to date, I have only purchased their take-out baguettes (a reasonable $4.99); I've had them baked there while I waited (about 3-5 minutes), as well as baked them at home (400-degrees for 12-15 minutes). Baking the loaf of bread at home results in hot-&-comforting, fresh-out-of-the-oven bread, with nice crispy crust exterior, and tender, slightly chewy interior with a subtle tanginess and slightly sour flavors. Wonderful with softened butter or brie cheese! In addition, choosing to bake at home, one can bake the desired portion of the loaf, saving the rest in the refrigerator for later. I was informed that the bread does not have any preservatives. The staff has been very friendly and approachable -- however, with differing responses to my questions on storing and shelf life (I'll ask, again, when I return). Glad to have convenient access to fresh sourdough (just wish they had gluten-free options for those with dietary requirements). Eager to taste other menu items. read more

I tried this new place and it ended up being a great choice. The staff were friendly and made the whole experience easy from the start. I ordered the broccoli cheddar soup and it was genuinely good. I left with no complaints and I would definitely go back. read more

It was tasty, but pricey, and a little odd. Came on a busy Sunday for lunch, and there were a handful of people in line. It took 15 mins for 2 sandwiches, chili, and mac and cheese. The food was decent, but not amazing. Got the turkey ruben and french dip to go (each 8 inch for $15). Turkey ruben was satisfactory, and french dip was okay but they put the au jus inside the sandwich! Definitely recommend to ask for it on the side so that your sando is not a soggy mess by the time you reach your destination. Glad each sandwich came with a pickle. Sourdough bread was nice. My friend liked the chili, and my bf like the mac and cheese (I thought it was okay: more milky than cheesy). They have a variety of soft drinks and chips to choose from. But it costs 8 bucks to add a drink and mac and cheese! There were a few tables for 4 and at least one table for 2, with a couple outdoor tables with umbrellas. Staff were decently friendly and seemed to be working hard back there. Overall decent food, Irvine prices, and would not go out of my way to return. read more

The staff were very nice and I did like the bread. The flavor on the smoked brisket sandwich was tasty as well. The cookie was good! Unfortunately the sandwiches were pretty small and don't look like the menu pictures at all. The caprese had barely any mozzarella and didn't have much flavor and just looked so small and thin with not much inside the sandwich, For about $20/sandwich (incl tip) I was still hungry at the end of my meal. I even ordered the 8" size. If the price was $10-$12 then I'd prob come back but at the current price it's hard to justify. You can see the difference between the menu pictures and the actual sandwich received. read more

Excellent sandwich spot in Irvine. I've eaten at the Sourdough & Co in San Marcos and am happy that there is now one in Orange County. The sandwiches we had at this new Irvine location were very good. The employees were friendly and the restaurant itself was clean. I know that some have complained about the pricing, but they are on par with other sandwiches places in that category. Sandwich & Co is an easy recommendation! read more

First visit today around 11am before the lunch rush because I was craving a sandwich. It wasn't too crowded yet, and the staff at the counter were friendly and helpful. Their menu has a nice variety of sandwiches that come in 4" 6" and 8" sizes along with flatbreads, soups, salads, a kids meal and even combo options. I ordered the 4" Turkey Cranberry sandwich with a cup of clam chowder, and my friend got a salad and clam chowder in a bread bowl. The food came out quickly and the sandwich was the perfect portion. The sourdough was soft and fresh and both the soup and sandwich were delicious. It also came with a slice of pickle which was a nice touch. By noon the place started to fill up with a line. The only downside was that I ordered a French Dip to go and specifically asked for no cheese, but it still came with cheese when I got home. Overall, it was a really good first visit with great food, friendly service and cozy atmosphere. I'll definitely go back, but i hope they pay a bit more attention to special requests next time. read more

Taste - okay Portion/value - not great! Ordered French dip sandwich based on the photos posted here which looked really good. Instead, I got the stingiest sandwich ever. Please train your staff to be consistent with portions. *** Changed to one star. Management needs to realize that you lose returning customers if you stiff them. Do better instead of coming here to preach about competitive pricing. read more

I love a good sandwich, and this is one of the better that I've had. I ordered the Pastrami Reuben with chips and a drink. The sandwich was delicious. The bread was so soft. I loved the pickle wedge. I wish they had a larger size. I liked the sandwich so much, I could have kept eating. Everyone here is really nice. Everything was fresh. I'll be back. read more

Had a hankering for good soup and sandwich harkening back to the ye days of old school Panera (before they got bought up by private equity and the quality tanked)... decided to order to-go from here and give it a try. Food was fresh and tasty. Bread nice and soft. Really enjoyed the clam chowder. A shame that they didn't check the order before they gave it to us and my husband had to turn around and ask for the soup. Make sure you check your bag before you leave. We'll give them another try. read more

I got their Italian flat bread. All I will say about it is that it's very salty and the proportion was surprisingly small. Good for one person but not for sharing. There was quite a line but the staff were very nice and friendly. The space is small, however, there is outdoor seating if you wish to eat outside. I most likely won't get this again. read more

I have to say, we went in on a Tuesday afternoon, and this place was empty and I'm not sure why. The sandwiches were awesome, the sourdough is top notch, great tasting meat, the pastrami was flavorful and the "small" salad my wife got, was actually pretty big. We got a chance to talk to the staff, and they were awesome. Highly recommend if you're looking for a tasty sandwich this is the joint, thanks fellas from Nephro Warriors read more

Great sandwiches but the only thing is the time they take to make their sandwiches is around 15 minutes when I went.

Sour Dough & Co is quickly becoming one of my favorite places for sandwiches. The food is fantastic! They have a huge selection of gourmet sandwiches, unlike what you will find at Subway, Jersey Mikes, or Jimmy John's. You can tell the ingredients are premium. During my initial experience a few months ago the service was very slow. However, now that they have been open for a few months they seem to have the system down. I'm happy to report that the wait time is now minimal. read more

Super happy to have a sandwich shop in the area! Although the line was long, it was worth the wait. The prices are a little high, $10 for a 4" is crazy. But it was worth every cent. Bread is super fresh! I'd say this place is a good grab and go rather than sit and enjoy. There's not much space inside but plenty of tables outside. read more

I didn't try anything else but great chili bread bowl!!! Need to come back to try the clam chowder bread bowl.

Sourdough is crispy, light and delicious! It is a differentiating factor of this sandwich place from other chains. The BBQ chicken flatbread was also delicious but we waited 15 minutes for it. The staff were personable and helpful with suggestions. The ambiance is cozy and comfortable. Highly recommended and look forward to trying other sandwiches in the future! read more

Gave this place a try for lunch on a weekday. The business is clean and cozy inside with limited seating. There are a few tables outside. They offer a good menu variety besides sandwiches, including flatbread pizzas, salads and soups. I gave the sandwich a try, opting for the chicken salad with their house spread, lettuce, tomatoes and Swiss cheese on their sourdough bread. The sandwich was overall very good. The sourdough was fresh and soft, and I was able to taste the sweetness of the grapes and raisins in the chicken salad, which had nicely sized chicken chunks. The pickle on the side had a good crunch. They were quite busy during the lunch hour so expect to wait a few minutes to have your sandwich prepared. If you a looking for a good sourdough sandwich, I would definitely recommend. read more

Tried on the way back from an OC on-site. Not bad honestly I'd rank it in-between a Subway (low) and a Panera Bread (mid). The turkey sandwich I got to go was solid, the only issue is for $12.99 if a 6" it felt really small and the 8" which I suppose is there large wouldn't be that much bigger. Tried the mushroom flat bread as well. It was good and creamy however the raw red onion threw it off a bit otherwise it was ok. Overall this place had solid service and okay food. I'd likely go back in a pinch for work lunch it's maybe a 3.8/5 so I'll land them on a 4.0. If they can adjust there menu to have a 12" I think they'd do a bit better on the sandwich side. read more

My husband and I stopped in this evening just before 7. Theres plenty of inside seating. I went with a 4" turkey and Swiss. The bread was soft on the inside with a slight crunch on the outside. I really enjoyed it. My husband and a 6" turkey & hard salami with a side of chili. I don't eat beef so I didn't try the chili. It did smell good. My son isn't big on sandwiches so he didn't eat. One of the employees brought him over a few small slices of bread which was really nice. We shared a chocolate chip cookie which was good. The staff was incredibly friendly. My family and I will definitely be back. read more
