Cheese Steak Sandwich
Timothy N.

Today's review is for the cheese steak sandwich. A client of mine who also frequents the Sandwich Zone really put me on when he recommended the cheese steak. It is pretty damn good and everything I expect a cheese steak to be; cheesy, meaty, juicy, and rich. I can totally see why it's his favorite and I'll definitely be treating myself to one here and there. Note: There will be a small cheese pull when you open that sandwich up. A little cheese pull never hurts :)

This is a pretty good place to grab a quick bite for lunch. The people at the counter are nice and sandwiches are freshly made. Depending on the sandwich, they usually come out warm. The wait isn't too long, but it also depends on how many in-person and online orders are ahead of you. There are a bunch of options for sandwiches and a build-your-own option if that's of your liking. My go-to is always the chipotle chicken sandwich which is very tasty! The prices are reasonable and the portions are quite filling. Just be aware that there's a 3.99% credit card charge regardless of how much you spend, so try to bring cash if you're planning on coming here. Another note to add is that the UC Berkeley Perimeter Line bus stop is right in front of Sandwich Zone. If I was lucky I would just catch the bus to get to my next class after getting a sandwich.

Richard's Dagwood Sandwich
Maggie C.

I have recently been on an adventure to try every sandwich place around Berkeley and Sandwich Zone has ranked up in my top 5! It's a small storefront but has an upstairs area with tables. I got the Richard Dagwood and the sandwich was packed! Bread was really soft and ingredients were fresh. The food is reasonably priced. I recommend bringing cash because there is an extra charge (3.99%) for using a credit card. The owners are the kindest people. I went near closing time with a group of friends on a Friday and the man brought out a tray of cookies for us :)

"Turkey" club sandwich with not enough meat to even call this a sandwich. This is a piece of bread.
Brent P.

First time today and I will not be going back. Look at how little turkey is on this turkey sandwich. 1 cold cut that doesn't even cover the bread. I can't believe they had the gall to charge me $12 for this sandwich! It's offensive. Do not waste your time or money at this place.

ROACH in my chai latte

ROACH in my chai latte- DO NOT COME HERE - I ordered a Chai Latte from the place, I've been coming for a few weeks now. The staff are kind and it's clearly locally and/or family owned. To my surprise, after a couple sips, I spit this out! I am appalled and disgusted because I've been coming here for a few weeks now! STAY AWAY! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Roast Beef on Dutch Crunch. Only $5.49. Mind.... Blown....
Johnny T.

Little hole in the wall when big delicious sammiches for dirt cheap! I paid only $5.49 for a roast beef on Dutch Crunch that looks and taste like something you get at Ike's for $15. If you're on a budget and want a solid sandwich, the Sandwich Zone is it. Happy Grubbin'!

Chicken Pesto Sandwich - finger for scale
Serena J.

Was feeling a hot chicken pesto sandwich, and this one was good enough. The sourdough was pleasant, the chicken was chicken, and the sauce was yummy. There's a nice upstairs seating area. It's affordable. Not much to say. It seems like the cold avocado ish sandwiches here are more popular. Maybe I'll check them out later. My mocha was pretty terrible - very watery. That's what I deserve for getting cheap coffee at a sandwich shop though, so don't let this deter you.

San Francisco has lots of places to grab a sandwich. It's seems I ate at the majority of delis in…read moreSF. Sometimes it's good to try something different and a place with some interesting character and characters. I usually get deli sandwiches which have deli meats but this place has fried chicken sandwiches . So I was craving a sandwich so I headed to Crave Subs in Downtown Berkeley next to BART station. They have lots of sandwiches available on the menu. On a Summer stroll getting some sun in Downtown Berkeley I landed at Crave Subs. Inside it's like you stepped into an ice cream parlor with a comic book shop and arcade and a deli all at the same time. You will see sandwiches on the menu called the Pikachu, Ned Flanders, and Bart Simpson. You will see Chewbacca fries along with the Spider-Man fries and the vegan Sailormoon fries. I got the Captain Boom Halal Fried Chicken, Boom Boom Sauce, Cheddar Cheese and Crave Sauce on a roll. It was tasty and a bit crunchy and had lots of flavor. It's one of the best Halal chicken sandwiches I had. If you crave a fried chicken sandwich then Crave Subs is the spot. It will "cost "you an extra 50 cents if you want to "floss" with extra drip "sauce" to show off on social media and during OSL my social media feed was stuck in the" Land of OZ" If you want great fried chicken sandwich you don't need to visit KFC or meet the chicken"commanders" like the late "Colonel Sanders" just get a Captain Boom with "Halal chicken standards" or grab a Pikachu sandwich or a turkey sandwich called the "Ned Flanders "

This is my family and my favorite Italian restaurant! Everything on the menu is delicious,…read moreflavorful, and refreshing without being overly heavy like Italian food often is. Their bread is especially amazing- perfect texture. The Calabrian shrimp is another highlight- juicy and tender. Finally, the tiramisu is light with just the right amount of moistness- a perfect end to the meal. The owners are friendly and service is quick. Ample patio seating with a few tables indoors. We can't wait to come back again!

We ordered via DoorDash, and I wouldn't call our experience "heroic."…read more The pinsa was very good. We got the Calabrian shrimp. We found it very tasty, but paying over $25 for this on DoorDash--certainly not worth the price even though we really enjoyed it. The spicy chicken parm sandwiches were not good. The chicken breast was flabby, and came across like it was one of those frozen cooked Tyson jobs. I would be very surprised if they actually breaded chicken breast, fried it, and made the sandwich with that. It was mushy, and the breading was like paste on the chicken. Pretty awful. They charge extra for sauce, which is a little much, given that we paid $21 for each sandwich. But we figured out pretty quickly why they do this: there was hardly any sauce on the sandwiches. And precious little cheese. We each ate half of our sandwich and figured we doctor the leftovers up the next day with a jar of Rao's and a bag of shredded Italian cheese. That helped, but nothing could save that chicken. The meatballs. We paid $15 for four, and we had high hopes, but they were so mushy that they fell apart in the sauce, and I couldn't tell what was sauce and what was meatballs. The only flavor that came across was fennel. Why any meatball should be so fennel-forward strikes me as bizarre. We got what we thought were pretty basic things, and they were fails. If an Italian place can't make a decent chicken parm sandwich nor a decent meatball, that says something. If you go, try the pinsa.

Long time customer since my college days here. I was here the first week after they rebuilt after…read morethe fire, and so I've seen the quality start high and remain after all these years. Came for a dinner pickup to-go on a weekday evening. Things I love: - HUGE portions: all other considerations aside, I'd always default to splitting a meal or counting on leftovers. Their salads and sandwiches both are served in generous portions, which helps justify the cost, which itself is not that unreasonable to begin with. - Seating: nice areas inside, as well as an outdoor space that's shared with the neighboring bar. During the daytime when the bar is not open, the back space is a great area to spread out in, and even work in with a small group. - Staff: I read a few negative reviews about the staff here, but I have had nothing but positive experiences, especially given the high customizability of the meals here, they do a great job accommodating requests and making sure you have the meal that you're expecting. - Breakfast burritos: gotta shoutout my favorite breakfast burritos. These things literally sustained me all of junior year, and are a great value for what you're paying.

Like the other reviews state--portions are sizable! The Chef Salad is hefty and I love it. I…read moreespecially enjoyed the beans (garbanzo + kidney) and sprouts they add. Lots of fiber and protein. LOVED the thick side of sliced bread!! Lightly sweet and very earthy tasting. The menu isn't very intuitive--the "salad" menu sign doesn't show the protein options; the proteins are under the "sandwiches" sign. I admittedly stepped into the line underprepared, but the staff here could be so much kinder lol. Latte was alright. A tad too bitter for my taste. They have extensive indoor and patio seating. Great place to meet up with a friend or two and grab a quick/easy food.
