The sandwiches are amazing! I didn't think they catered but they do makes for an awesome party with something everyone will like staff was quick, polite and professional I highly reccomens this shop! read more

I had really high hopes, and it was good, but not GREAT. My sandwich (shrooms over my hammy) was really good, but needed a bit more of acid or heat to put it over the top. The earthiness of the mushrooms plus the heavy cheese and ham were delicious, but needed a bit to really set it above. My wife had the pickleous cage, which was good, but we had to add sauce or something like that to improve it, a bit dry. Overall, this was a good place but I think there are other places in SF that knock it out of the park with their entire menus! read more

Good sandwich, fast service and relaxed vibes. I shared the Joe F and it was enough for 2 people. It was a great sandwich and I liked the bread. We also tried the caramel horchata which was a little too sweet for me. read more

Ham & Cheese Deli - Joe Formaggio Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

I had such high hopes for this place, but I left super disappointed, and I'm really sad about it. If I compare this place to the top deli/sandwich shops in San Francisco, it doesn't stand a chance. I walked in and asked for their most popular sandwiches and she recommended the Reuben. I asked if the sandwich was served hot, toasted, or cold, and she mentioned it's hot. The sandwich indeed wasn't toasted or hot. and I ended up taking it back to her where she suggested to redo it. The meat itself was also a bit more chewy than other places I tried. I also got a cappuccino and after a sip left it untouched. I didn't even need to take a sip to say it's not drinkable. The milk was almost boiling temperature and everything about the drink was just off (attached the pic). I would have given it a 3 star if drink was just okay. I'm glad I tried this place, as I now know it's definitely not anywhere near the top sandwich places in San Francisco (e.g deli board), and I'm not going to go back. The arcades are cool and give an interesting ambiance, but I was there for food and left disappointed. read more

I came in w long resident of Richmond Bobby and my not so local friend Kylie. It was a clear and beautiful day and we were recovering from a boat ride the day before, so a sandwich was exactly what the dr. ordered. We were starving, so we ordered online and the food was ready when we got there. Shout out for the extra pickles, maybe one of Bobby's favorite things about this place. I loved the arcade games, egg salad Sando, and the book selection for kids. GF bread for the win, kinda gives potato bread from Passover vibes and if you're also a vegetarian, definitely go for the picklous cage. Awesome mustard for purchase and reasonably priced greeting cards. read more

We got the California Street and Torta-ly Insane sandwiches. By the time we finished half of it, we were absolutely stuffed. The people working there were so nice and answered any questions we had. There's so much to choose from (most of which aren't pictured in the menu), you'll for sure find something you like. read more

Cool nostalgic arcade vibe that feels like a 2000s basement hangout, especially with the classic games like Pac-Man. The atmosphere is fun and unique, but the food didn't quite match the experience for me. The breakfast sandwich could be improved. read more

Great space, I was stoked to try this place but I must have gone on a bad day. Service was quick and friendly but the sandwich was a mess. I got the California to-go and when I unwrapped it 10min later I found a stale crumbly focaccia (the menu said "slab" which I expected to be ciabatta but I digress), the avocado was brown, and the lettuce was wilted and slimy. Sandwich team: if the bread is stale, throw it out. If the vegetables are rotten, throw them out. read more

Stopped at Ham & Cheese after a little walk in the Presidio and I am so glad we stopped by! Such a nice little spot with a little arcade area + shopping area and tons of seating to eat! Food came out super quick and was absolutely delicious - extra delicious pickles too we had to grab some more! I got a breakfast sandwich (not exactly sure what it was called) but it was so good! They had so many good looking sandwiches and breakfast items (all day breakfast) that it was so hard to choose. I guess I'll just have to come back again to try something new out! read more

Had a great experience with a large pick up order for a birthday party. Staff was kind and helpful throughout the process. They even threw in some cookies on the house! Also, as a note for all the vegetarians: I highly recommend the trippin GOAT Even all the meat eaters in my group agreed it was an exceptional sandwich. read more

Absolutely loved this place! We celebrated my son's birthday last month here and wow! I LOVE the nostalgia and feeling of connection this place offers. The kids loved it and got a sense of what my generation was like. It was about gaming, food, fun and in person! The owner went ABOVE and BEYOND ...the food is ridiculously good! Thank you Grant soo much for the hospitality, great food and being so great with the kids! read more

Reading all these great reviews, so I had to try a sandwich to see if it lived up to the hype! I grabbed my bf and headed towards the richmond. I didn't really read the reviews to see which sandwich was highly recommended, so we just ordered what sounded good. We both swapped 1/2 a sandwich so we got a taste of both. The guy at the cashier was nice and told us they had menus on the side so we could see what was in each sandwich. ***OUR PICKS*** CALIFORNIA ST. ~ Diestel farms turkey, evergood pastrami, avocado, pickled onion, lettuce, tomato, lemon pepper mayo on slab. This was a good combo having lettuce and tomato to give it freshness, so the sandwich wasn't too salty. Though it could have been heated and toasted a bit more. JAMBON ET FROMAGE ~ PARISIAN HAM, cured pork loin, prosciutto, hot mustard, fontina, Gruyère, olive spread, pickles on a hoagie. This sandwich was way too salty for me. It's missing lettuce and tomato to give your palate a break from the salt! I've had many sandwiches with cured meat, but this would make your blood pressure go up the roof! Like the other sandwich, I think it would have been nicer to get that crunch when you bite into the sandwich, but it was barely warm when we got it and no melted cheese which would have made it so much better. It's a cute cafe with a few tables inside and outside. We chose inside at the arcade table and tried a few games after eating our sandwich, but it kept refreshing right in the middle of a game! It's free so you can't complain, but it becomes frustrating even when you don't pay for it. The sandwiches are ok, but nothing special IMO. Plenty of great sandwich shops in SF that are less expensive and taste better. So unless you live around the corner, it's not worth traveling across the city for this. And $35 for 2 sandwiches is pretty steep. They charge 9% for SF fair wage, which is more than sales tax. read more

Finally found it!!! I've been craving a proper breakfast sandwich for years in the city. Whenever you do a search on Yelp or Google it just takes a while to sift through their results due to the challenge of getting the user what they actually want. So after many attempts I found Ham and Cheese Deli. I got the ham a good day, and it hit the spot. The bread was a perfect sourdough crunch that absorbed the juices from the meat, cheese and eggs. While the flavor gave you a savory taste in every bite. The right amount of salty, spicy, and umami. While we were waiting for our food, we played some of the retro arcade machines and had so much fun! Definitely will return next weekend! read more

Ham & Cheese Deli - Ham a Good Day - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

When my boyfriend and I were looking for a new sandwich shop to try, this was the first place that came up with five star reviews. We decided we stop in and he said he's always seen the store in the corner but there's always a line out the door. Luckily for us there was no line but maybe because it was around 11 AM?! Lol. I ordered the California Street sandwich without pastrami since I don't usually eat red meat. He ordered the specialty Paul Rubin something or rather and I really liked the funky local names they used. After I ordered, I realize they had a breakfast sandwich with beyond sausage/plant protein with gruyere cheese and on a biscuit- I will have to come back for that one!! There wasn't much for dining inside maybe a table or two but an adorable 1980s Pac-Man where you actually sat down and looked down at the table/screen as you played! There were a couple more tables outside with chairs you could bring up from different tables for a bigger party. We got our sandwiches to go and I really like the taste and consistency of the sandwich but I wish there were some red pepper flakes or something in the guacamole itself. Perhaps that's why they added pastrami to give an extra kick. I will definitely go back and try their other plant-based breakfast sandwich My boyfriend said he liked the pastrami Ruben, but it was lacking in a little bit of flavor perhaps something in the toppings or maybe adding something to the dry rub before they cut the pastrami? Overall, they were huge sandwiches for $15 and we only could eat half! So definitely well worth it!! we will definitely be back!! read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by Ham & Cheese Deli to grab sandwiches on our way to China Beach and we were so happy we did. The deli was popping on the 4th of July holiday, most tables they had outside were taken up. The inside of the deli is so cute - there are retro arcade games, tons of artwork, and bay area sports memorabilia adorning all corners of the cozy shop. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. We ended up ordering the Joe Formaggio, You So Caprese, and Tripping Goat sandwiches. The Joe Formaggio was so good, you can tell that all the ingredients are high quality and fresh. I loved that the pepperoncinis cut through the richness of the meat and cheese with a vinegary, spicy zing. The slab bread was kinda like a thinner focaccia, and it was a nice softer sandwich bread that still held up when I had the other half of my sandwich later. Their menu has a section for vegetarian options, and the two we got were really good. You can tell that there was thought put into these sandwiches, unlike many sandwich shops with only one veggie option that ends up being all their veg put between two pieces of bread. The caprese sandwich had spicy tofu in there, which added such a nice texture and flavor to the sandwich. My boyfriend said he would definitely order this sandwich again. The goat cheese sandwich came with a nice mix of roasted mushrooms, arugula, and a generous topping of goat cheese on a nice hoagie roll. As someone who eats meat, I was not missing that element at all in this sandwich. I can't wait to come back to try out more of their menu. What a wonderful, local spot that I am so happy to get to support in the Richmond community! read more

Conveniently located between the Legion and the DeYoung museums, this shop offers a good sandwich before -- or between -- exhibitions. We ordered a Little Devil Egg Salad Sandwich and a Shrooms over my hammie -- MacKenzie Chung Fegan's recommendation -- at the counter before taking one of the few seats by the window. The sandwiches came quickly, along with a few small slices of pickles. These sandwiches aren't huge, we enjoyed them both, especially the small kick provided by the Jalapeño in the Egg Salad. We would return if in the neighborhood, wouldn't take a trip to the outer edge of the City for it, though. Practical: - some seating inside, supposedly more seating on the sidewalk - street parking in the Richmond district is always difficult - bring quarters and plain for some time to enjoy the classic arcade games read more

Super solid breakfast spot in Richmond/presidio heights! The service was quick and they have an arcade inside and three outdoor tables for a nice day. The breakfast sandwich and burrito were a good portion size and tasted fresh. The meat lovers burrito didn't seem to have any other meat than ham, and also was a little messy given the salsa wrapped inside. Would recommend for a casual breakfast in the area! read more

So, first, it's expensive. You're not going to find your corner store sandwich for $12 here. The good news, it really damn good. Quality ingredients, solid execution. The sandwiches are well portioned and full of flavor. Interior is thoughtfully put together and packed with nostalgia. Arcade machines are a primo pick of my childhood. Cute colorful interior. My only concerns are that the seating, although full of character, aren't super comfortable, and the staff could be coached up to be a bit warmer and welcoming; but they are very efficient. read more

I just happened to find this sandwich shop walking my dog and went in and was amazed at the welcoming decor and friendliness of this San Francisco gem.

These are sandwiches that are just the right size, have a solid balance of flavors, and leave you feeling satisfied. Ingredients are fresh. The sandwiches are more flat than tall making them easier to eat. Ham & Cheese is definitely on my rotation of sandwiches to get! read more

This is an great sand-which spot on California. I tried the tortally insane (carnitas) which was good and a friend tried the California.

Continued my sampling of breakfast sandwiches in SF here with the Ham a Good Day. Very pleased with it. It looked enormous and I was concerned it was going to be messy/difficult to eat but it held together really well, zero mess. Good amount of egg and everything felt well balanced. Right level of hot sauce to give it a nice kick. The other (non-breakfast) sandwich offerings sounded great too so would love to try one in the future. The guy who took our order was really nice and he gave us a muffin to snack on while we waited since he mentioned they had extra supply from the day before (when they were closed but forgot to adjust their shipment). We appreciated it! Also love how there are arcade games and pinball machines to play while waiting. We played a couple games that were built into a table which was fun although unfortunately it restarted mid-game a couple of times but we didn't really mind since it was on free play. read more

Great spot with free to use, old arcade machines and variety of sandwiches to pickup on the go. The cashier was superrrr nice, a great start to my day!

Expensive but good quality sandwiches that I would love to come back again for! Walking into Ham & Cheese Deli was not what I was expecting. I was automatically welcomed with nostalgic and vintage pieces of Bay area representative pieces, vintage arcade games, cool cola machines, etc. I love me a good place that pays a lot of homage to throwback and vintage pieces. Also, you gotta love that Bay Area representation too! I got me a "Trippin Goat" sandwich ($15) and as a mushroom/melted cheese LOVER, this sure did hit the spot and tasted so good. I would definitely order it again but would also like to try their other sandwiches that seem to have good combination of ingredients that pair well together. I appreciate that the sandwiches have a great ration of everything and is not an overflowed, overloaded sandwich that I can barely take a bite out of. I love me a good clean cut sandwich with the perfect ratio of sauce toppings, and bread. Parking is decent. It is a residential area so you will primarily come across residential parking. read more

I'm not sure what kind of bread they use, but it was buttery flaky and perfect for the sandwich. Tajin potato salad was good too. Odd combo of flavors but it grew on me by the end.

Wow, I was cruising in SF with the top down and got the aroma of something good coming into my car. I stopped, parked, and ran inside. To my surprise, it was a cool-ass deli with games and great music. After chatting with the person at the counter, I asked for some suggestions. He led me to getting the Reuben. He told me it was good with a little kick. So I got that with Arnold Palmer to wash it down. So I got to my location opened up the sandwich and homie was right this is good. I will be back to grab for my peeps! Keep up the good work! read more

Really great sandwich shop! I wouldn't double that every sandwich here tastes great. Food: I went here before work to pick up a sandwich. The sandwich was large enough to last me two meals. I got the shroom over my hammy. It was super good and loaded with mushroom. The sandwich was $15.50 which on the pricier side but definitely average for SF. Other: They made the sandwich pretty fast which was great. The interior of the place was super cool. It had retro vibes with arcade games. The store is located on California street, there's decent parking but California can be pretty busy in the mornings. read more

T he ham and cheese catered a work party the sandwiches were amazing smiles all around! Best sandwiches ever i highly recommend this place!

I don't know where to even start. I came here in a rainy day with my girlfriend I've been really wanting to try this sandwich Jambon et Fromage. We got here and the place just amazed me I am a big niners fan and seeing the decorations, the antiques, the furniture and the arcade games, everything there was made me feel like a kid again, this shows to prove that this deli has a personality and it is very much sf Bay Area and everything that represent us. The service was very nice the guy who took the order was very nice and funny. But for the food I'm lost for words, it was incredible I hate sandwiches I really do but this sandwich made me want to eat sandwiches everyday and be fine with it. It was so good man I can't keep on going how good the sandwich was. read more

I've been living in the outer richmond for 25 years and despite this little gem being right under my nose, I somehow missed it. #livingunderarock Walked in there today and was WOWED by the array of amazing sandwiches. That said, I've only recently begun eating turkey again (failed vegetarian) and Grant, the owner, was kind enough to let me order the turkey sando off the kids menu. While he assured me it would be underwhelming, it is THE BEST TURKEY SANDO I think I've had. Really. Not only is this place serving up great food, it has an adjoining arcade, which the KID IN ME (pun intended) has every intention of checking out next. 5 stars, sir. And, I'll be back next Thursday! read more

I think I have a new favorite sandwich shop in the bay area. Yes, Ham and Cheese Deli won me over, with the delectable sandwiches, diverse yet simple menu items, wonderful customer service (super friendly, and just a 6 minute wait for food), and adorable setting with a few outdoor tables and seating, a handful of arcade games and pinball you can play for free while waiting, and a cute little plant shop next door (Little Trees). We tried the Praise Cheesus, the Ham a Good Day, and the Torta-ly Insane, and everything was amazing. The Torta-ly Insane was insanely delicious, fresh toppings, good flavor, and enough to finish every last bite. The Praise Cheesus was so cheesy, filled with three types of cheese to create that mouthwatering cheese pull, the broccolini plentiful and roasted perfectly, and the herb foccacia very tasty with a great texture I love. I was really impressed with the Ham a Good Day because it's really hard to be unique with breakfast sandwiches. This one was loaded with lots of fluffy scrambled eggs, melted cheddar, thick cuts of ham and bacon, and the sourdough english muffin was toasted just right, crisp on the outside, and soft and airy inside... it was soo good. The sandwiches are pretty large too, and since we ordered extra, we definitely had leftovers.  The staff also included a couple free cookies (chocolate and peanut butter), since we were first timers, and though they were small, they were delightful. The mango arnold palmer was the perfect drink to wash down this delicious meal, great flavor and refreshing. The only downside to this place is that parking is pretty difficult to find, but after circling a few times, we found a spot just a couple blocks away. They do have limited minutes parking right out front, for pick up orders. I can't wait to return, not just for these items, but to try their other sandwiches and pastries, and empanadas! read more
