Clam chowder!
David T.

The food here is good. Great for a quick lunch. It's sad how the stores around are all nearly closed. It means plenty of space to sit and enjoy your meal. We got to support the local businesses still around. Come enjoy the soups and food. Clam Chowder, Yum!

Turkey Turkey Pesto (Half Sandwich)

Service is exceptional Cozy and comfortable. Lots of healthy food choices. We would go there again

Corn Chowder
Priyanka S.

Ladle & Leaf always hits the spot on a cold rainy day in SF! The way it works is similar to chipotle where you can order soups/salad off the menu or you can build your own salad. When I came I opted for the soup and got the corn chowder which came with a slice of free bread. The soup was delicious and creamy and was topped off with cilantro. The bread was also good and spongy making it the perfect dipper for the soup. I have also gotten their clam chowder soup in the past and it is also lovely with lots of clam chunks and bits of potato!

Chowder and sourdough
Elizabeth T.

The service could not have been better, so friendly and fast! The Clam Chowder bowl with sourdough was creamy but not too heavy. I really enjoyed the soup, dipping my sourdough in it just added to the experience.

Not fresh bacon
Carla W.

My sandwich was all bread. No Mayo or mustard, and two thin slices of turkey. There was sufficient avocado but the bacon was not fresh. Boo

Thai peanut chicken salad
Alice X.

Groupon got me to come here. I didn't know what to order but I saw a another Yelp Elitist recommending the Thai peanut chicken salad on Yelp. So I ordered the Thai peanut chicken salad and I thought it was mediocre, nothing special and nothing to rave about. The second time, I got the chicken bacon and Cobb salad without blue cheese and it tasted great! Prices and portions for the salads are similar to the ever so popular Mixt Green.

Sam Y.

I enjoyed their breakfast burrito and their friendly service. I got their chorizo avocado burrito and it was hot!

Cob chicken salad. It was decent and the service was nice. But I agree with the pricing issued and the protein did seem to be skimped on

In researching places near where we were staying, we learned about the Italian deli and shop. We were looking forward to stopping by to check out the store and grab lunch. The store itself is very cute and charming, full of so many items - fresh meats and cheeses, imported olive oils, pastas, desserts, wine, and liquor to name a few. There is an area where you can get coffee drinks and there is a deli area for ordering sandwiches, pizzas, specialty dishes, and salads. The variety of options is plentiful. I ordered an iced coffee beverage, which was great. My significant other and I ordered a sandwich to go, which we were splitting for a light lunch back at the hotel. The person helping at the counter was not very friendly or helpful with questions. We asked for our sandwich to be made on the Dutch Crunch bread, as we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, it turned out that the sandwich was made on a regular ciabatta roll, which was not fresh. Additionally, the sandwich was mostly mixed greens. For the price, I expected more meat. With so many great food options in San Francisco, it is likely we won't stop by on future visits to the City.

Tried the Bergeron, colloquially dubbed the crab Rangoon sandwich by the Instagram/TikTok…read morecommunity, and the quintessential Call Me Serge, one of their most popular sandwich varieties. Between the two, it was genuinely difficult to pick a favorite, a strong statement coming from someone who's particularly opinionated about her sandwiches. To be frank, this blows Deli Board out of the water. I'll find that sometimes sandwiches don't exceed the sum of their parts, but Dolores Deluxe does a wonderful job balancing ingredients and doesn't rely on any "dirty" sauce or "comeback" sauce or whatever indulgent sweet/spicy mayo-based concoction prefixed with whatever provocative adjective as many artisanal sandwich restaurants seem to do nowadays. It's simply an amalgam of fresh ingredients that speak for themselves. The Bergeron, for instance, includes pluots, American cheese, and a kohlrabi slaw, unique ingredients, sure, but used not in the name of gimmick but for sheer flavor. The owner is also super sweet, and I'm happy that people showed up in droves for the last day of this decently viral crab Rangoon sandwich. Will definitely be back for a Dolo sandwich picnic again.

Dolores Deluxe is truly a rare gem in the city! Their sandwiches are SO good and unlike anything…read moreI've had before. Every sandwich is unique, with such thoughtfully curated ingredients that somehow come together to create the most perfectly balanced flavors. Call Me Serg is always a hit and one of my favorites! But I just tried their newest Deluxe Baguette with pickled veggies, pork confit, and duck liver mousse and WOW. CHEF'S KISS The creativity is unmatched! And don't even get me started on their banana pandan pudding (okay, ALL their puddings are amazing) and chocolate chip cookie -- an absolute MUST. They also have some of the most unique snacks I've never even seen or heard of before! Ramsey is such an incredible chef and creator. You can tell how much thought and passion goes into everything. Honestly, some of these sandwiches could easily cost more considering the quality of the ingredients and craftsmanship, but they keep them so reasonably priced! If you're a foodie, you NEED to check this place out. Dolores Deluxe deserves all the love and recognition!

There's something special to this place, whether it's the authentic imported Italian goods all over the walls, or the kindness from those that worked here, it's a place you need to experience. They were so fast and kind too. The menu had so many options, but they patiently helped me find the perfect sandwich for me. They do NOT skimp out on the ingredients either! You can see how packed with meats and sauce my sandwich was. Each bite was consistent and flavorful. I hate when my food is dry and even though I picked a roll known for the hard bread, it was anything but dry. The cuts of meat are so fresh it feels like it's straight from a butcher. I would definitely come here any day.

From the chicken cutlets, to the subs, & fresh Sicilian olives, it's like I'm standing in my grandfathers deli. The service has changed a little these days; less of the family. However, it's still outstanding and I hope the ambiance never changes. It's a must have experience here in San Francisco and your taste buds will not be disappointed, just prepare yourself to wait.
