Ice coffe is old brewed coffee stored in the fridge that tastes like the plastic and stale fridge. You get what you pay for.

American Italian Delicatessen - Godfather 2

Small town, family owned Italian Deli, I'll take these over any chain sandwich shop including all…read morethose modern/trendy sourdough themed shops that are opening up errrywhere. Hence why I stopped here one warm late afternoon despite having lots of food options in this downtown-y area. The Godfather ($15ish/5*) When I first try a deli I will usually try their Italian combo. It's a classic sub I love but honestly I find it hard to find an above average one. I'm not sure if the art of making one has been lost, but within the last decade or so, I strike out more than I get hits. Usually the meat to bread to produce ratio is off. Sometimes the meats are too salty/poor quality. Other times the sauce/dressing flavor is off. I am so stoked that I found a legit one here. They use prosciutto, mortadella and salami here, all my faves. I hate when a place uses American ham/cheese on an Italian sub. And all the meats are of quality, not too salty at all. Provolone was the cheese, textbook. I chose a sourdough roll and even though requires a good amount of teeth strength to bite off a piece and to chew, it was pretty damn satisfying. The interior is soft yet chewy. They definitely use a solid bread company. The bites were what I consider to be classic Italian sub flavors. No curve balls like pesto, red peppers or strong mustard. Just quality meats with great textures, fresh produce dressed in oil n' vinegar so it taste like a good salad. And the kicker that pleasantly surprised me were chunks of marinated artichoke hearts so this made you feel like biting into an antipasto platter just in sandwich form. So Damn Solid. Italian Sausage Sandwich ($15ish/4*). Even though solid I didn't love this as much as the cold sub. They ask what type of sausage mild or hot Italian. Chose hot, no surprise. They said this will take longer to make, like about 10 minutes. I chose a regular sweet French roll for this. Not as chewy as the sourdough roll, much softer but still has body. I liked the flavors of warm marinara with their unique sausage, quite classic once again. But the sausage they use is super thick like twice as thick as a common Italian sausage link. They do split it so it covers the bread but that sausage is one of the firmest textures I've ever had for a sausage. Sausage by nature because of the grind usually bites easily. Not here, I had to bite so hard that the meat couldn't stay in the bread. I think the casing was unusually tough for some reason. I eventually peeled it off. Decent flavors but problematic to eat cleanly. $35+ (after T&T) for 2 sandwiches seems pricey but really it is the new reality. 10 years ago this would have been about $20ish. Welcome to the new world order. Lol

I used to enjoy eating here and enjoy outside setting, but after today's sandwich experience, I…read morewon't be going back. I ordered the Godfather, which is supposed to be their specialty, and it was very disappointing. The meats seemed old, extremely fatty, and so chewy that I was unable to swallow them. Every meat on the sandwich was fatty, including the mortadella, which was unusually greasy and unlike anything I've seen before. The texture made the sandwich very unpleasant to eat. It also made me question whether the meats had been stored properly, though I can't say for sure. The bread was average and didn't seem very fresh either. Maybe going later in the day means the ingredients have been sitting too long, but either way, this sandwich was difficult to enjoy and ended up in the trash.

As a bank…read moremanager, my lunch breaks are usually short, so finding a place that's nearby, fast, and consistently great is a huge win. What I really appreciate is how simple they keep everything. Their focus on fresh, handmade sourdough sandwiches with quality ingredients makes ordering easy. There isn't an overwhelming menu--you know exactly what you're getting, and every sandwich is made fresh and comes out quickly, which is perfect when you're on a tight lunch schedule. The customer service is just as impressive as the food. The staff always greet you with a smile, make sure you're taken care of, and create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps you coming back. Whether you choose to enjoy your meal outside in the business district or take it to go, the experience is always enjoyable. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the excellent service. It's hard to find a lunch spot that's this consistent, convenient, and welcoming. This has quickly become one of my favorite places for lunch. If you're looking for a delicious sandwich, fast service, fair prices, and people who genuinely appreciate their customers, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's one of those hidden gems that's absolutely worth discovering!

It's fresh and soft on the inside. I like that they have combos as well -- a drink and a large sandwich are slightly discounted. The Vietnamese coffee is quite reliable and the one with salted cream is quite good. I'm satisfied with their matcha, but it's not my absolute favorite! They also serve other drinks like teas here. They also have a special right now for their 1 year anniversary. Complimentary egg tarts if you buy enough things! I also like their baked pastries as well. Service is quite fast. There is a kiosk but I hardly ever use it. Lots of nice and cozy seating inside. Great for socializing or doing some quick work

Food ordered: Grilled Chicken Sandwich (4/5) The grilled chicken sandwich was good. Instead of cut chicken, it had shredded chicken that was tender and not too saucy or salty, which was good but I would've liked it a little more interesting. Anyways, you can choose between a Small or Regular size for the bread (different pricing), and the bread itself was delicious since it was light on the inside but had that pretzel like exterior that made it not too crunchy and crumbly as some bahn mi baguettes can have. Violet Matcha (5/5) This drink features taro foam on top, and it was so good! A nice bonus was the server was proactive and input a combo code at the register to save us $2, which was nice. Ambiance & Amenities: There are only a couple of tables inside, but it has a fun bread-centric photo spot if you want to snap a quick picture. They also have a convenient water station available for guests. Overall: We really enjoyed our experience here. The service was kind and attentive, and the food satisfied out cravings. Would come again if I wanted a bahn mi and fun drink! The drink menu is quite extensive!

I have to give a major shoutout to the staff and management at this location for customer service…read morethat seriously went above and beyond. I had to come down to the Peninsula from the city so my high schooler could take a standardized test and then I had to race back up to the city in time to get her to her next commitment. And it was her 16th birthday, so... probably not the best of birthday circumstances, but we were making it work. She asked for Mendocino Farms for lunch on the way back. I checked the time - if I could be in and out in like 10 minutes, it was doable. Parked and ran inside and it was absolutely SLAMMED. Delivery drivers, multiple lines - it was so chaotic and filled with so many people in the ordering area that I couldn't even figure out where to get in line. Surprisingly I was able to order her food fairly quickly in the bar area. I stupidly paid for it before thinking to ask how long it would take. The (totally reasonable, considering the lunch rush) answer? 15-20 minutes. Panic. My fault. I can't wait that long, I told the woman at the counter. I apologized profusely and asked if there was any way to cancel and refund my order because I'm on such a time crunch and have to be back in the city in less than an hour. She called a manager over (Oh god! I swear I'm not a Karen! I felt SO bad and was ready to just leave and eat the cost because again this was entirely my own dumb fault) and the manager looked at me and asked, "How about six minutes?" I happily accepted and thanked both of them profusely. I never told them it was my daughter's birthday and that this was her lunch request. Just that I was late. Which again? Not their problem. But they rushed my order anyway. And they did NOT have to. Thank yooouuuuu (and we made it back in time!). You guys genuinely saved the day!
