Housebaked Chocolate Chip Cookies in a cute mini pizza box | $2.50 each
Cherylynn N.

Long overdue review... I use to poo-poo on pūpū platters because I found it to be a unappealing brown pile of generic AZN apps but here I am salivating at crab rangoon everything on TT: dips, nachos, stuffed bread, sushi bake, egg rolls, and more... I've only gone to Dolores Deluxe for their chocolate chip cookies and/or for Basuku cheesecakes but when I saw they released a Crab Rangoon sandwich....LFG! Opening in 2022, DD started as a neighborhood corner store and in 2024 started selling creative, chef-driven sandwiches (owner is a Michelin star resto alum). Most of their sandwich fillings, spreads, and dips are housemade. The sandwich menu has a handful of seasonal specials + mainstays, along with breakfast sandwiches served all day. Seasonal specials served 10:30 am - 4 pm. No mods or subs. They also have several grab 'n go options. S A N D W I C H E S * SEASONAL - The Bergeron: Crab rangoon salad, pluot-chili relish, kohlrabi-scallion slaw, bang bang sauce, fried wontons, acme green onion slab ($19) Served hot, it had a nice creamy-crunchy contrast but too salty and acidic. IMO, it needed more cream cheese to mellow everything out. They also may have been running low on lump crab, as the filling felt much heavier on surimi. * SEASONAL - Deluxe Baguette #62: Confit Pork, duck liver mousse, lemongrass aioli, spicy pickled veggies, french butter pear + mint, acme rustic baguette ($16.50) My fav of the two - it's like a bougie bánh mì with French and Southeast AZN influences: rich, savory, and creamy but balanced by the punchy, spicy pickled vegetables and fresh mint. The duck liver mousse and confit pork made it feel extra decadent while the pear added a subtle sweetness that kept it from being too heavy. S E R V I C E Sometimes friendly, sometimes not. A M B I A N C E There's a handful of cafe tables outside. Overall, DD sells some of the most creative sandwiches in the city so keep your eyes peeled for their seasonal specials!!

Rainy Day Fund and Call Me Serge
Victoria W.

Let me start with the positives. We ordered the Rainy Day Fund and Call Me Serge sandwiches. The rainy day fund sandwich was SOOO good and unique. It had a great mix of savory and sweet flavors that made me go back to the menu and read the ingredients. It was such an interesting (in a good way) combo of flavors. We also grabbed the spicy green curry potato salad. WOW. My friend and I could not stop saying yum with each bite. It's definitely spicy, but not too spicy where you can't taste anything else. I would go back for the potato salad and the rainy day fund sandwich. Also, sticking to the positives - the employees were very friendly, despite it being a scorching hot day and practically a sauna in the store. Moving to the not so positives... The Call Me Serge sandwich had way too much turkey in it. And that may be a silly thing to complain about, but it honestly made the sandwich inedible. It felt like I was taking a bite out of a big turkey breast with no other flavors coming through. If they added maybe two slices LESS of turkey, the sandwich would have been more balanced. And this is something the store probably had little control over, but it was so so so hot inside. Waiting in line to order felt like standing in a sauna. It was about 85 degrees outside, so I don't imagine it feeling like that all of the time. I think they should have made us form the line outside to keep the inside cooler. Overall a great spot that I'd go to again.

Rainy day fund (buffalo chicken, medjool dates, picked celery) incredible
Abida H.

umm fave sandwich spot in the city and maybe ever?? I'm obsessed. Love the Lebanese flavors, creative combos that just work and fresh house-made ingredients. Never loved a sammie so much. Go before 4pm for the extended menu Please keep the buffalo chicken (rainy day fund) on the permanent menu! It was incredible. Loved the pickled celery salad, medjool dates a nice touch to balance the flavors. Fantastic

Can't go wrong with double Ds. Because everyone on social media from BayAreaFoodie to EatMeSF to Gaystronomy puts their sandwich and cookie on their must-eat lists, the wife and I gave into FOMO. Fear of Mission Out. The sandwiches are in high demand. The line on a Saturday that went from the intersection, around the fridge section, to the cashier took about 15 minutes and the sandwich took another 15. Both sandwiches were filling and fresh. We got hot ones with toasted bread. The couch potato with crispy pancetta was good, but American cheesier than expected. The preferable lemon pepper chicken sandwich was bright, flavorful, and tangy, with more dimension. I don't know if it's my favorite sandwich, but certainly top five. I give them five stars, however, because everyone was unpretentious and super nice, the sandwich artist is a machine, they have unique items, and they only charge $1.25 for a can of soda. As for the fresh chocolate chip cookies, my wife liked them. I didn't understand the hype. They were fudgey and doughy, so I guess if you like eating cookie dough you'll love them. We bought enough to have one as an appetizer and one for dessert.

Electric Mayhem (Left) and Deluxe Baguette #62 (Right)
Evan T.

This place had a long line, with social media buzz all around. The menu boasted a bunch of exotic sandwich combinations, which made me super eager to try them. The inside reminded me of a classic deli you can find on the corner of any street--very welcoming. The flavors across the sandwiches were unique, something that I wouldn't find elsewhere within the city. But the vinegar chips inside of the Electric Mayhem provided a briny crunch to the already acidic tuna seasoning. The focaccia was nice and crunchy, but the sandwich was slightly overpowering with the addition of American cheese. The Deluxe Baguette was very fragrant, filled with aromatics, kind of resembling a banh mi. Although very rich, it wasn't incredibly enjoyable. The flavors felt mashed together, as the paté and seasoned pork clashed, making the overall sandwich slightly too strong. This place definitely isn't lacking flavor, but I was slightly underwhelmed, given the attention it's been getting. I would recommend the visit regardless, if you like bolder flavors and want to check out a unique spot in the city.

Such a cute stop for sandwiches! I tried The Bergeron, aka the "crab rangoon sandwich". It had all of the yummy components like savory and creamy crab filling (2/3 real crab and 1/3 imitation crab), a slight spice from their bang bang sauce+pluot chili relish, and crunch from toppings of fried wonton strips. A bit pricey for a sandwich (exactly $19) but I would understand with the real crab meat in there. It was also very rich and filling. They also have frozen slushies that you can order spiked too, great for the latest city heatwave. There are some outdoor tables you can dine at or you can bring it to Dolores Park a few blocks away. Service was nice and it took about 10 mins for my sandwich to be ready.

Busy place! We had the Lebanese caprese, Lady Giana and Call Me Serge. We called ahead for a to go order. We called about 20 min in advance and it took them 20 min to make the sandwiches. They are unable to change the time that they start assembling the sandwiches, they said, so they do all the sandwiches in order of the orders. That means really just call when you're 15-20 min from picking up your order ----- Food: - Caprese sandwich: Our friend who had it was very disappointed and she loves caprese sandwiches. Do not recommend. - Call Me Serge *** our favorite*** The call me serge was our favorite (Calabrian chili orange jam is a delight). - Lady Giana: also delicious!

Came back to try the Lady Gianna and the Market Sweep (seasonal menu) and both were excellent! The Lady Gianna is an eggplant parm, it has a layer of crispy Parmesan on top. Served hot, it's very tasty. My favorite sandwich I've had here so far! I also enjoyed the Market Sweep which is a BLT with amazing bacon and heirloom tomatoes. Also very tasty and it's on the seasonal menu so not sure how long it will be on the menu. I also tried the Okinawa sweet potato & garlic skordalia dip! It caught my eye since it's so unique. I enjoyed it, it had a lot of flavor from the garlic.

Deluxe Breakfast
Robert M.

Sandwich was really good but not spectacular. I had the Deluxe Breakfast Sando and was very pleased but not overwhelmed. In their defense, I was headed to DeliBoard and got talked into this substitution. Again, superior quality, might go back - especially if looking for a park sando.

I came here for the first time a few months ago closer to when it first opened not expecting much and was very pleasantly surprised by how delicious and juicy the sandwiches are. This is a cute corner shop in sunny Mission, and it's very clean and organized inside. I was the only person there when I went early Saturday morning (although I imagine it might be busier now) and I ordered the lady Gianna, which took around 10 minutes to make. The result was a delicious juicy eggplant Parm like sandwich with a nice kick as well. The fresh basil really came through. The Portobello sandwich was also a standout. Overall, the focaccia bread has a perfect fluffiness and crunch on outside and the ingredients feel fresh. Would love to come back and keep supporting this little shop!

"Call Me Serge"
Alyson C.

Ordered takeout sandwiches on Pride weekend with friends, and immediately they got points for a quick make and pickup of 6+ sandwiches! Most of us got the "Call Me Serge" which included roasted turkey, bacon, cheddar + Gouda, arugula, and a Calabrian chili orange jam, rosemary ranch, and creamy avocado-lime vinaigrette spread. It was warm and delicious! I think I would've left the arugula off next time as it tasted strong with the jam (but that's me with a sensitivity to arugula). I will definitely return to try something different to bring to my next Dolores picnic!

Deluxe Baguette
Carlton C.

Ordered two seasonal sandwiches and especially enjoyed the Absolut Cinema. It was perfectly messy, flavorful, spicy and the bread was soft, chewy and delicious. The staff at Dolores Deluxe were very friendly and informative about the shop and its offerings. Best of success to Dolores Deluxe!

My sister and I visited San Fran for three days and we could have eaten here everyday! The sandwiches were delicious. The flavors were unique and paired well with each other. I had wanted to try one of their specials but it was already sold out which tells you how good it must be. The staff were friendly.

I absolutely love Trader Joe's no matter where I am in the United States, so I was beyond thrilled…read morewhen we got to our hotel in San Francisco and realized there was one just a block away! We were in San Francisco for about a week, and having a Trader Joe's so close was a total lifesaver. We could easily stop in and grab breakfast foods, snacks, and, of course, our favorite peanut butter cups. It saved us from having to spend a ton of money eating out for breakfast every morning, and we were able to stock up on snacks that lasted us for the entire trip. This Trader Joe's was definitely a different experience than the one we're used to back home in the St. Louis suburbs. Since it was right in the city, you actually had to take an escalator down to get into the store, which was kind of fun and unexpected. I also felt like there was surprisingly more room in the aisles than I expected for a city location. The checkout line was a completely different story! It wrapped around the store, which honestly gave me a little anxiety because I felt like I needed to hurry and get everything because the line looked like it was going to take forever. But they had a ton of checkers working, and the line actually moved incredibly fast. Before I knew it, we were checked out and on our way. It was just really nice to be somewhere familiar while experiencing a totally different version of Trader Joe's in another city. Having one so close to our hotel made our trip easier, more affordable, and a little more fun. And yes, we absolutely stocked up on those peanut butter cups!

I loved the wide variety of candies and snacks. We picked up some new-to-us and some familiar items while we were here. I also picked up some spices and ingredients that are harder to find. The pricing on everything was very fair, and considering that a lot of these items are imported and not always easy to source, I was so excited!

I don't think I've ever seen an unappetizing leaf, fruit, or vegetable. I discovered this place after parking in front of it for the nearby library branch on the same day I listened to KEXP for the first time. I was prepping for an upcoming weekend excursion, and while I usually buy my groceries in the South Bay, closer to where I'm headed, I decided to change things up and get (mostly) everything in one fell swoop. I believe I got a prepackaged side dish that was delicious. And some fruits and carrots for the road ahead and the weekend beyond. I've returned a couple of times, and the people who work here have always been kind and helpful. It's a busy little place. Spend even a few minutes here, and you'll hear neighborhood acquaintances having friendly conversations about whatever. I got some really good cheese the last time I was here, after returning a book to the library. Are you sensing a theme?
