Turkey pastrami toasted - needed more ingredients
Rachel M.

Let's start with the good- the clam chowder and the sourdough bread were ok tasting. But wow- what an expensive sandwich for the portion you get! Super small sandwich with meager ingredients inside. So disappointed - I had such high hopes too. Please make your sandwiches worth it by adding more of what we pay for. I'll stick to Lucia's in Crockett for their delicious well-portioned sammies for the same price!

Turkey and Ham

Food is awesome here Service is quick Ambiance is nice and quiet. We have been here twice now, both times the food was great. Fresh bread and the selection of sandwiches are good. We tried a flatbread this time too. Prices are reasonable. We love sandwiches and will be back. It's about 10 miles or so from us but well worth the drive.

Packed house
Candy N.

Pulled up to the grand opening of the new Sourdough & Co in Pinole! Wow, the place was PACKED! The city showed out: mayor, council members, the whole squad, plus owner Mandeep giving a sweet speech before cutting the big red bow. Love a community moment. They were running a promo from 1-4:30PM where you buy a sandwich and get it half off, so you already know the line was out the door. I ordered the 4" Italian with Swiss (classic, super solid), and my wife got the Cholula Chicken on a gluten-free wrap. HUGE win because she can't have gluten, and not every spot does GF options. She legit loved it. And we also loved the pickle, had that snap!I also grabbed a bowl of clam chowder. Creamy, cozy, delish Next time I'm definitely getting it in the bread bowl because... Bay Area tradition. You can't not. Mandeep came around to greet people personally, and even the mayor stopped to chat. They had a wheel to win prizes as well. The whole vibe felt like classic small-town energy in the best way. Fun day, good sandwiches, great community. I'll definitely be back. They have flabreads, salads, cookies and more! I'll be coming here for my sandwich fix

After trying sandwiches from the Martinez location, so glad we have one in our community. Parking may be an issue because it's at the far end of strip mall with stores and other food options, so lots of cars parking and not moving in/out as often. Service is good, looks like they are still learning the menu, how to make and pack, and the point of sales system, so there may be some hiccups and delays, especially during busy times. With so may options, our favorites so far are: BBQ flatbread pizza Smoked Brisket sandwich Clam Chowder The bread is toasty and the house spread makes each sandwich delicious! Minus one star because of the app and ordering system, semi-user friendly.

Roast Beef and Chicken & Poblano
Ronald N.

When I heard Pinole struck gold on having a Sourdough & Co. I had to check it out. Located in Fitzgerald next to Dollar Tree it isn't a bad location. You would expect it to be small but going inside it isn't small. Great amount of tables to dine inside. Here is the catch...stare at the menu to see the price before ordering. You would be surprise how much a 4 inch, 6 8nch, and 8 inch cost. I didn't bother to see the price of the sandwich. My Roast Beef sandwich was delicious. I was not bothered by the 4 inch but I enjoy how good my sandwich was. They do not toast like Subway or Togos. I like that the bread was not hard to chew on. Since Pinole has a Sourdough & Co. I don't have to go to Martinez, Concord, or Walnut Creek anymore.

The store is on the Popeye's chicken end of the shopping mall...near Due Rose Good sandwich. Friendly staff - they all greet you upon entry. Decor is updated with "wood" siding. Bathroom just off the dining room.

Our first visit.

Sept 11 2025 4.2 stars Technically I am reviewing the pickle. Looks like Pinole scored a winner with Sourdough. The inside is bright and bustling with many staff and customers. I'm sure the pumped in music might be loud for some but they won my heart playing Hotel California. My wife ordered herself a Pastrami with Swiss. To paraphrase Henry Ford, you can have any sandwich bread you want as long as it's Sourdough. The staff seems eager and helpful. The cashier with a smile and charming. Too bad she had no name tag hence no shoutout today. I am on a modified Fast which doesn't include "food" but I watched with enjoyment as the wife dove into her half sandwich. Vegetable and bread bits showering her lap. A thick pile of steamy hot meat oozing juices. Toasted warm fresh bread crunching. Both of our mouth were watering. Upon finishing her meal in record time, when forced for comments, she stated the sandwich was a little bland. (the way she devoured it she must be into "bland"). I took "bland" to mean it wasn't too salty and could have used some horseradish or mustard and maybe au jus to dip it in. I went to remove napkins from the to go bag and felt an unexpected weight. Is that a pickle? Yes! That is on my diet and oh boy it was crunchy and refreshing. I'm looking forward to having a sandwich for myself with my next pickle at Sourdough Pinole!

Chicken Caesar salad

One of my favorite dishes for this company is their chicken Caesar salad. At this location their croutons are ALWAYS stale or overcooked. This is the last time I will order from this location.

Inside seating

When I searched for gluten free on the yelp search, Sourdough & Co popped up. I was so happy Pinole allowed this store to open up here. This is way better than Subway. Good quality meat and bread. Better deals. So I called and they have gluten free options available. I believe we spoke to the owner because when we arrived, she made sure she did not cross contaminate while making our sandwiches. Very small space for seating but overall good food. Indoor is modern with many sandwiches to pick from. Thank you for preparing with safety! We ended up finishing our food. We will come back again :)

The soggy brown corner of my sandwich
Leisheung P.

Easy online ordering although they could omit some of the many options to add to make it more user friendly. Food was on time to go and friendly workers Unbagging the food had an off smell...couldn't describe the smell but it was foul like a dirty dishrag? Was it the plastic bags? The food? Not sure The clam chowder was just ok...I'd rate it a 5/10. The sourdough is not what I'm used to. It was too soft . I guess I'm used to more of a sourdough hard roll. Sandwiches were wrapped well but the ingredients didn't look appetizing. The lettuce was the real turn off because you can clearly see the lettuce was turning brown. And one corner of my sandwich was soggy and brown. There's nothing in my sandwich that would make one corner soggy and brown or was it the brown lettuce ? Turned off by the food and smell so this was a one time visit for my family

Uneven bread pieces for a sandwich

I've had several meals at this location and enjoyed the food, service and employees-no complaints, until today. Ordered a 4" turkey sandwich and Macadamia Nut cookie. The sides of the bread are not even (see photos) which made it impossible to eat. I'm not even sure how you can make a sandwich like this. Seems like they tried to mix and match various piece sizes. There was also too much mayo and half of the sandwich had very little Turkey. Also received some other kind of cookie (it was good)

Italian Flat bread pizza
Nicole R.

What i love about Sourdough is the portion sizes its the perfect skinny sandwich that doesn't leave you feeling sooooo full i also love that they have a small and larger salad. The pizza is little but again it's the perfect size when ur on a diet lol. Love the customer service always so nice and friendly:) the place is so cute inside as well.

CK out the Menu & prices!

I'be been looking for this sandwich shop to try. After going to Lucky's I found it. It's so small I kept missing it. I walked up past Liquor Store & there it was! Haha I walked in & was greeted right away. I ordered a #6 larger which is 1 of my favorites. It took awhile (10mins) to get my sandwich made. There's no choice of bread jus 1 type. But it was very fresh & crunchy when you bite into the sandwich Mmmmm good But take small bites you'll enjoy it much more! Delicious I'll have to comeback to try their other sandwich's & soup . Also I took it home to enjoy it. But they had tables & very clean there to eat & enjoy your meal there. I recommend going there! Enjoy everyone

$26 for 6 inch sandwich, a cup of soup, and a fountain drink. The soup and sandwich were ok. Definitely not worth $26. Hard pass...

Who would of thought in this small plaza there was this hidden gem. I frequent this area at times…read morearound 6ish am to get Starbrrad for my co-workers. When maps directed me to here, I was shocked. Stepped in there was 1 party so I said great its not busy. As we took a seat, I kept hearing the online ordering beeps while the nice young man was there checking them. Alan came around and handed us menus and since my little one is into chicken or country fried steak, its the first thing I asked him when he greeted us. Ordered the food and observed hes the only o ne cleaning tables, greeting, processing the online orders and waiting. Hes truly a star and is great at what he does. Food is fresh and delicious. Did not disappoint. Kudos to Alan

I wanted pancakes today... to absorb the overindulgence of cocktails the night before. (Oy!) I…read morereviewed yelp to find something close that maybe we hadn't tried, and I found Mely's with the amazing rating of 4.3 stars. We've lived in Hercules for over 30 years and are creatures of habit, so it was nice to venture the 10-minute drive to San Pablo. We were not impressed by the exterior strip mall building, but the interior of Mely's is very cute, homey, and clean. (I even peeked into the kitchen since the door was open.) I wanted pancakes, but got waffles instead since W ordered the blueberry buttermilk stack. We both had a side of eggs, his scrambled and mine sunny side up. The eggs were delish; mine in particular was perfectly cooked with slightly crunchy edges, a beautiful, silky, runny yolk, and no uncooked whites. The blueberry pancakes are so good! Of course they are huge and I ate some of them in addition to my waffle. We could have split just the pancakes and been perfectly happy. They cook berries inside the homemade batter and top them with a house-made blueberry compote. Maple syrup and soft butter on the side. The waffles are crispy outside with a light, airy, center, dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. I had strawberries on the side (+$5 !!). Since I ate some of W's pancakes, we took half the waffles home. W had a drip coffee--no decalf available so I had the fresh-squeezed OJ. It was a large glass so I took half of that home, too. The coffee was nothing to rave about, but it was coffee. Service was friendly and efficient--there is only one cook and one server, and it seems several of us arrived at the same time on this Sunday morning. Overall a wonderful find that we will return to so we can explore more dishes. We saw omelets and Benedict's come out that looked amazing! Plus, I want to try the dinner menu, which also looked pretty amazing.

Hidden gem in El Sobrante that serves up some of the best Laotian and Thai food in the Bay Area…read more Every time we visit, must-orders are the Nam Khao (crispy rice ball salad with fermented pork sausage and fresh herbs) and Ka Soy (Laotian noodle soup). If you see Nam Khao on the menu of a Laotian/Thai restaurant, that means they know what they are doing just because it's so labor-intensive to make a salad(!) and the fermented pork has to be damn-near perfect for this salad to really shine and round out the fresh herbs and seasonings which includes lime juice, vinegar, and fish sauce. Ka Soy (the noodle soup) is a comfort food enjoyed in Southeast Asia. It's not the Thai-style where it's a curry broth and the noodles are fried, so let's not get it mixed up. Instead, it's bone broth that been simmered for hours and it's somewhat a lighter broth. The noodles are wide rice noodles in a big bowl of hot broth served with a mixture of ground pork cooked down with tomatoes along with fresh bean sprouts, scallions, and cilantro - simply a divine noodle soup that a must-try. It's not overly complex in terms of flavor, but it's a bowl of good ol' noodle soup that is comforting and great-tasting. If you haven't tried Laotian food, give Sue's Kitchen a try. try some new flavors and you may just become a regular (if you aren't already). The owners are friendly too! It's a husband-and-wife team!

The people here are exceedingly nice but the food is not. For example, I had their chicken noodle…read moresoup yesterday for lunch. It had basically two tablespoons of chicken that looked boiled. The soup tasted like water which made me add too much chili paste. The noodles were nothing to write home about though homemade. There were not a lot of noodles and mostly a lot of water for 15 dollars. I think the soup was supposed to come with crunchy garlic but it did not come with anything but a little bit of cilantro. All in all, just a very sad dish for $15 which I could have made at home with nothing but boiled water and noodles from the supermarket. My husband had their massaman Curry beef. They were training someone to cook in the kitchen and this curry came out with the texture and flavor of water. They were very kind to refund us for the curry as it was completely tasteless. One of the kitchen staff tasted the curry themselves and said that it had no flavor and apologized profusely. The restaurant itself though clean has a strong unpleasant smell.
