This was such a cool sandwich shop, the sliding scale concept is very unique. Food: decent sandwiches. Sadly the menu on the outside was not what they actually had available. We really wanted to try the egg sandwich but they didn't have that. Instead we got the chicken and turkey sandwich! The turkey sandwich was a great cold cut sandwich with nice bread. Service: pretty slow overall but you can tell everything is fresh Ambience: they have some indoor seating read more

Location: This spot recently opened. Huge location with extra seating in the back. The back area has 6 2 person tables, 2 larger 4 person tables with many stools available to add to tables. Steps and a ramp available to get to the main seating area. The ramp has a small step at the end that should be manageable for a wheelchair user. The food can be paid for on a sliding scale from $13-24. Had the Lucy sandwich with smoked trout and focaccia. Bread is made in house and the sandwich was excellent. Overall beautiful location, super friendly staff, clean. Lefty vibes. Highly recommend. read more

Sandwich was great, but it was a little hot in the store. I appreciated the sliding scale--my first time being to one. All the staff were super amazing. read more

Sea & Soil - Sandwiches Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

How can you not love this place? It's staffed by a colorful cast of characters who aren't just working hard to turn out delicious sandwiches, but are also the owners of the establishment. A sliding scale of payment ($12-$18) instituted so as many people as possible can afford those delicious sandwiches, while still compensating those worker/owners properly. There's a cute little communal table where you can bump elbows with what appear to be card-carrying members of the counterculture, deciding whether or not you want to stare at your phone or commiserate angrily about the current state of the world in between bites of your delicious sandwiches. Did I mention the delicious sandwiches? They have a number of combinations I was excited to try, but all were thrown out the window because I came in on a Friday, which, if you didn't know, is one of the only three (Friday/Saturday/Sunday) days of the week that you can get The River. I'm already a sucker for exclusivity, but throw in some miso marinated pork butt, tomato jam, and wasabi aioli, and there was never a chance I wasn't headed down The River. I also ordered it MELTYYY!!! (their spelling on the menu, not mine) because some do like it hot. This is a damn good sandwich. Thoughtfully conceived, well-executed, and most importantly, on INCREDIBLE naturally leavened focaccia that is airy, and crisp, and fluffy all at the same time. This bread will make any sandwich great, so I'm gonna be back for The Wren and The Lucy at a minimum. If I had any notes, it would be to throw more pork butt on there. I like things meaty and melty. I also got a damn good cookie as well, which turned a perfect lunch into an excessive one. But I regret nothing. read more

Back in the day I was the proud manager of a Democratic Socialism page on MySpace, so of course I appreciated Sea & Soil's dynamic pricing system, which allows you to pay along a sliding spectrum for their sandwiches based on your own volition. There are plentiful vegetarian sandwiches on offer - I ordered a variety with zaatar-spiced tofu and asparagus on focaccia. It also had a heavy layer of mayonnaise and overall was a fairly satisfying sandwich, although I didn't love the asparagus. The pretzel chocolate croissant was pretty good but didn't seem especially pretzel-like to me. Sometimes you just can't beat a classic pain au chocolat from La Bicyclette. read more

Not your typical sandwich. The shop is adorable & like Brancaccios food made on premises. It's a sliding scale for sandwiches their main focus here. I went with the Lucy, smoked trout, fermented jam, greens & a small serving of ginger sesame slaw plus a small pretzel roll. Total: $20.49 but I only paid $10 for the sandwich. This place rocks on a lot of culinary levels. Location on the other side of Hicks is a trek from the F but soooo worth it. read more

Excellent food. I had the turkey sandwich and cheese and ham croissant. Turkey sandwich was super moist. Bread was very fresh, probably baked the same day. Croissant was also great. Would love to try their other selections next time. read more

Love this place! They have amazing sandwiches and bakery items. They bake their own bread and the scallion pancake croissant is my favorite. They recently started doing donuts on Sunday but get there early because they usually sell out before noon. They also sell sandwiches on a pricing scale to make it more affordable to people in different income ranges. Tip- you can early to have them hold any pastry item because they usually sell out early read more

The people in here were extremely nice! We didn't know which type of bread to pick and they surprised us. We got the Elliot and the river and each bite felt fulfilled of freshness. The spot it's super cute but small so we didn't get to grab a table but there it's a park at the next corner where you can easily enjoy these. We love the idea of their sliding scale pricing structure which basically you pay what you want based on their scale that normally goes from $9-$16 We decided to pay 10 for one and 15 for the other one We loved in here :) read more

Wonderful place! Delicious sandwiches and the croissants are in par with the ones around the corner at the French bakers. The place is entirely run by two lovely people. (Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.) It's on President st; cross street is Columbia. Go support them before they get too popular and you have to wait in line read more

An absolutely incredible place, both in terms of their worker co-op mission as well as their delectable sandwiches and baked goods. It's too bad I only get to contribute one review, because I can't wax enough about how these are my favorite sandwiches I've had in all of NYC, and I say this with my chest. The focaccia used for each sandwich is something I haven't seen too many sandwich shops do, but highest props to the baker here; the bread nails the perfect amount of crunch and salt that makes every bite a mouth party. Couple perfect bread with the really creative ingredient medleys available for vegans and meat lovers alike, and you have me sold as a dedicated repeat customer. My favorites thus far are The Lucy (flawlessly tender smoked trout with pepper jam) and The Iz (curried lentils w/ tamarind sauce that pack a powerful spiced punch), yet I still have much more of the menu that I need to get to. A bit of a trek to get to past the BQE but well worth the trip. I'm ecstatic that this former farmer's market pop-up shop has now gone brick and mortar with much expanded hours, and I can't wait to see what other culinary delights are in the pipeline! read more

We had the Wren and the Hugo. Each of them a great medley of flavors. The bread is terrific. It's art. Or, I mean, if you want to think of it as just a sandwich? sure, you will not be disappointed. Bring as much attention to it as you want. They're good people. I wish I could eat lunch here every day. read more

The service was friendly and efficient, food was good, and the ambiance was right, I recommend this place

Everything about this place is unbelievable. The sandwiches are delicious and take risks that pay off, the cooks/workers/owners are incredibly sweet, the local products they sell are well chosen - freshly made pasta, jam, and coffee -, and the benchmarks of leftist thinking are all here and executed well - sliding pricing, promoting local businesses, being worker-owned, communication, etc. Splendid! read more

This place is incredible. A must try in the neighborhood - whether you live nearby or not. This is hands down the best sandwich I've had. They recommended I try the Fiona and I think I ate it in 5 min because I couldn't put it down. Now I have to go back and try the rest. As someone who eats plant based this place is a gem - although there's something there for anyone who loves sandwiches and creative flavors. read more

This place is AWESOME! Everyone that works there is super friendly and helpful. I haven't had a sandwich yet, but I had the pizza, and yea it was AWESOME! For desert I had the biggest slice of the most delicious cake ever. It is so nice to have a new place in the neighborhood. Don't walk, run to this restaurant. read more
