So... my experience here was really weird. They have signs that says "masks are optional" which is cool by me... but then NONE of the people working there are wearing masks and that's okay too by me but they were really chatting with each other and in front of the food Anyways the one star is actually because the sandwich sucked. Bacon was not fresh- they do this thing where the bacon is almost frozen (thinking precooked)... baguette was really tough like rubber. read more

Excellent sandwiches, but today I was charged more for my order than the menu board said, and the cashier said "the prices went up" when I asked about it. If the prices went up, then it's your responsibility to *post the new prices* before starting to charge them. UPDATE: When I complained to them on Facebook, they gave a response that basically amounted to "well, our menu says 'prices subject to change'" and then blocked me. With that kind of attitude, I unfortunately wouldn't recommend doing business with these folks despite their excellent food, and so I am changing this review from 2 stars to 1. read more

Excellent!!!! Family owned and everyone who works there has a smile....nice to see!Ryan Roast Beef A+

It's.......fine. Not sure what the fuss is about. It's a pretty standard boar's head deli sandwich shop. Could totally eat this and not be upset but I don't understand seeking it out. Can get the same thing lots of places. Live close by so have had it a few times. Pretty bland subs in general. Rolls are pretty good but not much meat in the sandwiches. Turkey is turkey....Meatball was meh, the Buffalo Chicken sub special which people rave about was just 2-3 small so-so buffalo fingers, bread and blue cheese. Innovative. People working there are very nice and seem to remember their regulars which is a big plus and probably one of the reasons people love it so much. Store layout a bit goofy. Sandwiches a little pricey for how little you get and how ordinary they are. Again, totally passable sub shop. Plenty of variety so chances are you'll find something you can eat. Just nothing to write home about. read more

Just fair at best. Sandwich I had was barely edible and expensive. The service however, was very good many servers at lunchtime.

Really good place to grab breakfast or lunch. Always delicious and great service. Employees are also very friendly and orders are always ready on time. Some outdoor seating too which is nice. read more

So glad we stopped by this great deli for lunch. The line was out the door for take out but we grabbed seats at the counter and were served right away. Delicious tomato stew and the avocado special sandwich was perfection. Their fantastic bread here is what really sets them apart. Also friendly service and a fun menu with tons of sandwich options! read more

Consistently good sandwiches, friendly and fast service--terrific for takeout for office lunches in particular. A regular go to option in Wellesley. read more

Best place in Wellesley! I run on the thanksgiving sandwich and everyone I bring loves it! So many options, fast service, and overall a great New England Deli setting. read more

Best sandwich shop and service I have been to in a long times. Make sure you order a milkshake to.

Subways and sandwiches are fresh and tasty! I will be back again to try their coffees and breakfast. read more

The Linden Store - Always a lot of people waiting on the line - Delis Near Me - Wellesley, Massachusetts

The Linden Store is a perfect example of a superlative food store which has its products always top- rate, its personal service ever- gracious and its selection options intriguing. They start with the best rated deli meats and cheeses, imported prosciutto, Boar's Head etc. , and use delicious rolls and buns. They build their 20 to 30 sandwich choices rapidly, generously and with consistent courtesy. They have excellent salads and a variety of homemade soups which put supermarket offerings to shame. During the COVID pandemic they do efficient curbside delivery. When things normalize in the future they have a dozen or more high counter stools to eat your scrumptious lunch. This delicatessen is the gold standard for all of Boston! And, on a praiseworthy note, it's a family owned and operated outfit, with an upbeat, cheerful employee staff. read more

I'd call it Gods Work: The Resturant Literally EVERYTHING THERE IS TO DIE FOR! Especially those delish Meatball Subs. The oh so delicious CHEESE the Mouth wateringly good sauce and those MEATBALLS! THOSE MEATBALLS ARE GREAT! read more

Email them that you want Avocado Special with your name and credit card info. They usually email right back and say it will be ready in 20. Drive up to the door and tell the runner your name and bag gets handed to you. Pull in to the closest parking spot or drive home and devour. read more

The Linden Store - Avocado Special - Delis Near Me - Wellesley, Massachusetts

Exceptionally friendly staff, from sandwich station to register. This is clearly THE lunch spot in town, where quality is unaffected by the vast menu of offerings. Cute combination of takeaway deli and sandwich counter; a good place to grab-n-go or stay a while. I love their mozzarella sandwiches minus the meat (there is the Isabella or the Kaitlyn if you like balsamic vinegar). Soups are good, salads are fresh. If I ate meat, I'd probably have more to say about the meat sandwiches, but I can attest that the place feels clean and well looked after. Well staffed, too, so you've got many people looking out for you. All in all excellent option. read more

Love it! Food and service are excellent! You may need to wait, but it's worth it. Sandwiches are delicious!

If u don't like this place. Nothing pleases u. If u like delicious food,this is the place. There should be a Linden in every town. Steak ' n ' cheese. Is better than Genos . And the Chicken Stew is better than any booster read more

A classic Wellesley lunch spot. They have extremely fresh ingredients which make for a wonderful and hearty sandwich. My go to is the Isabella on French bread. Yum! Upon perusing their website, I learned that they also serve breakfast - I had no idea! I'll have to try it Sometime. My only complaint is the limited parking and limited seating. read more

Been coming here for subs for years. There's just nothing fresher than their sub-rolls. The Thanksgiving or a prosciutto & monz on a sub-roll just hits the spot. Curbside pick up and pre-pay over the phone is the way to go. Don't be discouraged by the phone ringing off the hook. They're just busy (because they're amazing) but keep trying and you'll get through. read more

My first visit to the Linden Store and the Tuesday special was hot pastrami. This was my lucky day! This hot pastrami sandwich was tender meat steamed hot with melted american cheese on a freshly baked sub roll that was so soft the whole thing just melted in my mouth. We recently moved into the neighborhood and Yelp reviews for this place were so good I had to give it a try-out. It did not disappoint, this is just a great quality neighborhood deli spot. I will be bringing family here. Keep up the good work fellow Yelpers! Thanks for another great find! read more

Linden Special, nuff said. Delicious from beginning to end. Marinated peppers and hearty amount of select deli meats, don't forget to get it with hots! read more

Amazing sandwiches! Build your own sandwich - they have everything imaginable - horseradish, pesto, crusty baguettes and soft rolls - everything imaginable. Always fast service very polite and courteous. The quality of the sandwiches are A+. read more

I have lived in Wellesley for over 10 years and every time I have ever come here I've been disappointed. Grossly overpriced for consistently barely mediocre ingredients. Staff is kind hence the two stars read more

Best sandwich's in the area... chicken soup Is superior to any soup I have ever had!!! Definitely a to go place when I am in the area. I want to give a 5 star review but it won't let me!!!! read more

For some reason I was craving a turkey sandwich today. I was thinking wow, the super kosher turkey club sandwiches that I get in NYC. My friend and I pondered, searched, and google for the perfect deli and we found it! The milk shakes are awesome... try the vanilla with oat milk and a dash of cinnamon...perfecto! Thank you to the staff! read more

The best sandwiches ever. Only complaint is they continually run out of baguettes and other bread/sub roll choices are not very good.

Quick, great food. There's nothing better than a chicken rice soup and a sub - with a huge array of options.

Very fast service and excellent food. The place has been around since the 30's and they keep the history alive by giving the place a soda shop/diner feel that makes it a fun experience with great ambiance. It's a very popular spot in Wellesley so be ready for a line but service is so fast that the line always clears fast. Last but not least, if you're a fan of wraps, you'll love the place because they'll make almost any sandwich option into a wrap if you ask. read more

This place is amazing! It gets very busy, but it's efficient and well organized. They are not stingy with the toppings, so it's very filling! read more

I ordered 2 hummus wraps about a little over a week ago. Quite a disappointment! The hummus was hard to detect, just a very thin layer, certainly not what you would expect for the feature ingredient. Every hummus wrap i've had elsewhere has included an "oozing" amount of hummus. I will not shop here again! read more

Love the linden store it's an absolute institution in Wellesley. I have celiac and have always had great experiences with their gluten free bread. read more

The Linden store is very consistent. Always tasty and you know what you are going to get. Some nice specials and lots of selection. Quality is always fresh. That said, not sure what all the craziness is about. It's fairly standard subs and rolls, and while consistent and tasty, not sure if it's line around the corner worthy (although it moves fast). I wonder if there might just be a lack of quality sub and lunch spots in the area. Either way - I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty sub. read more

Maybe I'm lame for Yelping a place where I've only tried one item, but I feel this is okay for two reasons: 1) I have been consuming this concoction of sub goodness for the past eight years 2) The item in question is The Thanksgiving. What is the "Thanksgiving," you ask? A fabulous blend of deli turkey, stuffing (which oddly comes in rectangular strips), and cranberry sauce, with the optional lettuce, tomato, and mayo, served on a tasty sub roll. Yum. It hasn't changed in eight years, and I love it still. read more

Food is great. The order ahead system is pull your fingernails out one by one level of infuriating.

I am a fan with only a single visit. Recommended. My egg, cheese and bacon on a bagel was just right. The bagel was the perfect (no too chewy) consistency for a sandwich . We sat at the counter and the service was friendly and very efficient. This is a place where there are no virgins. My daughter and I were the only ones who did not know all the "rules". + Wi-Fi - Paper napkins $18 USD for breakfast for two read more

My boyfriend (born and raised in Wellesley) brought me here a few years ago to this adorable shop. They have a huge array of sandwiches and other options for food. I personally really love sandwiches as well as their chicken noodle soup, which just feels extra homey. I also really liked the atmosphere in the shop, everyone who works their has high energy and makes the place feel extra lively. Really love this shop and can't wait to go back for my next trip in Boston! read more

I would say that this is the best-kept secret in Metro-West, except it's so not a secret. This place is the bomb. Maybe it's the best-camouflaged joint in Metro-West? I mean, it looks so unassuming on the outside, brick and tasteful wood sign, just like everything else on Linden Street...but the moment you come through the door, you can perceive in so many ways that this place is very special. The visual is heartwarming. Lunch counter stools in chrome and vinyl. Cooler cases filled with drinks, salads, soups, and other house-prepared foods. Lots of people, but not cram-slammed with people - just a lot of folks patiently waiting for their orders, or enjoying their newspapers at one of two counters. I have never waited long; this is evidenced by the fact that I still haven't read through to the end of their hand-chalked, wall-to-wall deli and sandwich menu. You don't get that long to hang out and read, is why. Upon entering, my sense of smell is immediately engaged by delicious vinegar brine and fresh, chilled cold cuts. Baked sweet goods, fresh greens, beautiful bread and rolls, all of it a pleasure to my olfactory system. The staff is comprised of caring, kind people who have nary a negative word to say about anything or anyone. I've seen workers take extra time to light up a child's face on more than one occasion. They'll remember your order if you come in enough times. The size of the subs and sandwiches is very generous, and the cost is minimal. This sandwich shop is one of the best values in this part of the state. I always get a large and split it with my spouse (turkey club sub or the Thanksgiving sandwich, which has stuffing and cranberry sauce - and turkey - on it). I would go out of my way to eat here! read more

This my friends is what a deli should be, a family owned establishment, that makes your sandwich when you order it, not a fast food, pre cut throw it in the microwave fake deli. The staff is friendly, always seem happy to be at work. The quality of the food is excellent. Came here on the recommendation of friends and at their insistence, i first tried the Gobbler and haven't looked back. It is a delicious mix of turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. If you're in the area, you can't go wrong stopping in here. FYI-They also serve breakfast sandwiches here!! read more
