Being a certified Crustie (patent pending), I continue to stand by the notion that CRUST is one of the best sandwiches out there...period. I recently made my way out to their Milpitas location. This spot is like the OG one that originally opened its doors way back in 2019. Knowing this, it was really cool to be able to dine at the location where all the magic first started. When I arrived for lunch, there was literally a line 20 deep. Amazingly, the line moved at a brisk pace and before I knew it I was already at the register. Having tried nearly every sandwich on their menu already, I noticed one that was new to me...the beef brisket. Given this, I went for this one instantly. When it came out, I just have one word to describe it...WOW. The super tender, flavorful meat was simply amazing. Coupled with their signature, perfectly toasted sourdough, and seriously WOW! The brisket may just dethrone my all-time fave hot pastrami. Really tough call. Only way to find out is to order BOTH next time...of course, in the name of scientific research ;)

I love Crust!! We typically DoorDash at work from the Redwood City location, so this is my first time trying the one in Milpitas. The workers were so incredibly nice and the store looks so clean and modern. There was ample parking during Friday lunch time and this place was poppin'. The bread here is so good! I just wish there was a bit more meat in the sandwich. Definitely check this place out!

I came here for the first time and tried their hot pastrami on toasted sourdough. Let me tell you that this is by far my most flavorful pastrami sandwich I've ever had. The indoor and outdoor seating is very organized, modern looking, and bright. The service was quick. I will definitely come here again for their sandwiches.

Wow. Hands down the BEST roast beef sandwich I've ever had. The bread was perfectly crispy on the outside and moist inside. The roast beef was fresh, sauce was excellent. Everything about this sandwich was amazing, but the bread alone really exceeded my expectations!

Candy C.

Soooo sooo good!!! The bread had a crunchy outer layer, yet soft on the inside. I ordered the roast beef and it was two thumbs up!!! It had this sweet bacon jam spread that was yummm!!mmmmmy!!!! Dipped in the warm au jus, this sandwich definitely hit the spot! It is a must try! I will be returning to try the hot pastrami since I heard good things about it as well!!! Tucked inside an industrial section of Milpitas, Crust surely was a great find!

Had to try the Original for my first visit . HUGE sandwiches . This is just 1/2.

First time customer . Came here with a friend visiting from out of town on a HOT day ( needed something refreshing for lunch ) and this place NAILED it! Clean store, fast service , great value for the size of the sandwich and freshness of the ingredients . So delicious ! Can already taste my second visit

Sometimes you just want a sandwich with a wholesome crusty bread and this place's sourdough bread was on par for the day! They have a wide choice of sandwiches including their popular hot pastrami but today I decided on a whole Italian filled with Genoa salami, ham and pepperoni an assortment of fresh veggies with a slice Swiss cheese and their signature house spread. I really liked the crunchy outside of the sourdough bread but yet soft on the inside and had that complex slightly sour yet tangy flavor. It's pretty much a no frills style deli where you order at the counter and they call out your number when the order is ready for pick up. The servers were good and my order came out quick. This location had a nice outside seating area too.

Tuna, I ate the other half

This place is great. I went with tuna. The bread is baked in house and it was crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The ingredients were fresh and tasty.

I will forever sing the praises of Crust! They are just so. Damn. Consistent. They ALWAYS craft my sandwich to perfection (no tomatoes, extra spread). The veggies are always crisp and fresh, the bread perfectly chewy/crunchy, and meat plentiful. There's no point going to any other sandwich shop. The staff here are all so fantastic!

Stopped by California sourdough but it was closed on a Saturday so this was our next option for sandwiches. It did not disappoint. Parking is plentiful and seating is limitless. Location is very well lit up and clean. Double cheese Hot Pastrami Sandwich: 5/5, they had a sign outside promoting this new sandwich and I will say - this needs to go on their permanent menu. The meat was not cheaper out on and the cheese was melted perfectly. The dough dough was not chewy and hard, it didn't even taste like sourdough to think of it. Just perfect. ($22)

Is there gluten free option?

The only bread they carry is their sourdough. For GF options, it would be their salads, but you must request for no croutons as they all come with it normally.

Do you guys bake different types of sourdough that we can purchase on its own?

Parking is hard to come by (had to park on the street and walk 3 blocks the last time I was here) Tables aren't plentiful (but you can usually scope one out) A lot of wine, and beer and sodas and everything in between to choose from They used to let you pick your own steak and they cook it for a few but I haven't seen that sign in a while.

The subs on the other hand are quite plain and not that unique or flavorful. It's nice that they have a huge variety in their hot sauce bar. My sandwich also had a hair it in when I received it, so they remade it. I got the Smokin' Honey Chicken Melt, expecting a little spice and sweet but it was nothing of the sort. It was simply a melt with veggies and chicken. I couldn't taste any of the honey or chipotle sauce despite having the sauce. The menu also mentioned having caramelized onions on this but the onions were just slightly cooked, almost raw. Despite tasting fresh, the flavors were not anything satisfying. Otherwise their soda machine has interesting drinks and flavors to add, as well as a decent cookie and brownie to go with the meal.

They make their own meatballs, marinara sauce, & bread right there in-store, and the meatballs are HUMUNGOUS! The aromatic marinara sauce & handmade meatballs impregnated the air.
