I have gotten two sandwiches from this place. Both times I thought they were “just okay.” They’re not bad. They just aren’t worth $18+ and honestly, for that price I expect a little more substance. More than just a thin layer of meat, minimal extras and definitely more than one slice of pickle. I feel really bad about this because the sandwiches are definitely made with care. They are very toasty and hot when served. The bread is delicious. But, for that much money I expect more. The people that work there are absolutely fantastic. They are so nice! The atmosphere is really cool as well. I love the decor. It has the vibe of a classic sandwich deli, which is something that is disappearing from San Francisco. I don’t know what their profit margin is, but if they could just put a little bit more in each sandwich, even if it’s just pickles and lettuce and an extra spoonful of sauce, I think it would be worth it. I got my friend aside of mac and cheese with bacon on top and he said it was really good. I also wish they continued to make coffee drinks in the evening. I was told that they turn off the espresso machine at a certain time in the afternoon and they just can’t make drinks after that. This last sandwich that I got, with one side, cost me over $40. Overall, if you don’t care about the cost of your sandwich, I would highly recommend this place. For regular people who maybe work in education or are going to school down the street, this place might not be for you.

We found this deli by luck! We decided on the Hayes Street Veggie Sandwich and were completely star struck! The Sandwich was delicious, the store was kitschy and warm, and the owner was sweet and talkative without being overbearing. Highly recommend this San Francisco icon.

The first thing I noticed was the wall decor – really cool, provocative and fun quotes! Not a ton of seating, and it is a little bit pricey ($~20 minimum)but the owners were very welcoming! We ordered the classic turkey sandwich and split it between the two of us, and we felt satisfied by the end – which speaks to the good portion sizes. And of course the sandwich (and the side of chips) was DELICIOUS! Will 100% come back.

Absolutely great and nice place. Sandwiches with crispy bread and tasty ingredients are amazing. Big portions. I love cool decorations on the walls.

Tiny sandwich spot serving up big taste! Inside small but with good amount of seating. The owners are so nice and great sense of humor. Woman owned business. Very clean and well maintained. Chicken pesto sandwich was perfection, served on perfectly toasty bread. My only mistake was sharing it. Come with an appetite the sandwiches are big!

This place is worth the hype! I got an Italian sub and it’s the best I’ve ever had. Such a sweet little spot. I’m coming back asap for a meatball sub and espresso martini.

Literally the most delicious sandwich I’ve eaten in my 34 years. We felt so welcome. It was the owner’s birthday and after eating half of the HUGE sandwich she gifted us an amazing slice of chocolate mousse cake. We will absolutely be back! ♥️

Had Hayes and corn salad. Couldn’t get a picture of Hayes salad because someone wanted to dig in! We will rock you and I need a hero half sheet of lazy pizza! Had salads from there before and they’re always fresh and have a nice balance of ingredients! The pizzas are nice, crunchy and soft! Best eaten soon after getting it. Service is excellent! Will be back to try other things on the menu!

Amazing food, beyond amazing service, and quality meal!!! Ordered the chicken pesto avocado and had the mixed bliss salad. VERY GENEROUS PORTIONS! Everything tasted super fresh and delicious. The service was outstanding. Catalina was so nice and friendly and welcoming and made our experience wonderful! She was so kind and made sure we were really cared for and was super attentive (very rare in restaurants these days to have service as good as this). We really had a great time dining here and are going to come here again!!! The only problem is that there is limited seating if you are coming with a bigger party but other than that, 11/10 experience!!

Lovely, cozy spot for a delicious sandwich! $23 (including tip and tax) for the BBQ Bacon and Chicken sandwich + side of chips. Sandwich was super filling and I appreciated that it was cut and put into a take-out box. The nice lady who took my order brought it out to me personally, too. I don’t have a dog, but they had complimentary dog treats near the door.
