Clean, varied affordable menu. A departure from the chic, overpriced, omnipresent kale salad purveyors. Salad, sandwiches and sides with ingredients you'll recognize as food. The staff is cheerful and efficient.

I came in after hopping off the BART, straight from the airport with bags in tow. The workers I interacted with here were so nice, and my hangry travel self was subdued. The bagel sandwich I got was incredible. A lovely little pop in on a stressful day for me.

This was our first stop for food after arriving late the night before , so we were hungry. The pictures made everything look so good. However, our bagel melts left something to be desired. The egg in the melts needed salt. Also, if you order a coffee with any flavoring, like vanilla, don't expect it. I like my coffee sweet, but it was brewed well. No bitterness. This is for the traditionalists when it comes to their coffee.

I really like the Italian sub. It's a solid sandwich we'll worth the price. Almost every sandwich I've ordered here was a win. Just stay away from the bacon heavy sandwiches like the BLT. Unfortunately they use that really thin, tasteless, microwave bacon that a lot of sandwich places in SF like to use instead of the real thing. Which is just sad.

Solid lunch option in soma. Pre-pandemic i would order their salads, which are giant and fresh. Nowadays my bf loves their sandwiches. I ordered the lemon garlic chicken sandwich and he ordered the Cajun chicken sandwich. The lemon garlic chicken sandwich sounded boring but i loved it! It was tangy from the lemony, garlicky sauce and capers and chicken was flavorful! I usually don't like non-brined chicken cuz it's stringy or not enough flavor. Bread roll looked super big but it was soft so it could squish flatter. Then there was fresh tomatoes, onions, and spring mix. I would order

I just had the most amazing experience and best sandwich at this place! The California melt is delicious, but what was outstanding was the people. I accidentally broke a glass bottle (from another establishment) that I was holding and the owner was so sweet about helping me clean up, gave me a bandage, and even offered me a free beverage because he knew how I was feeling. I will 100% be back here! Amazing food and service on what could have been a very bad day.

I was gonna buy but I forgot they are closed on weekends. So, since Im at their page, i decided to leave a review instead since this is my go to place for my salad.
Anyways, Im leaving 5 stars because they are well deserving! Clean place, good food and VERY friendly staffs! When I say very, oh boy they are! Even remember last time when they were 2mins before closing and I called that time, and I was 15mins away but, they still took my order for pick up. When I got there, the guys was taking their sign off the street. And I felt bad feeling they probably only waiting for me so they can close
