My father in law loves this place. Whenever he visits he requests to go here. He loves the avocado chicken sandwich. I have had the tuna melt, caprese sandwich and jays special with chicken. If it's your first time I recommend anything off the popular menu. It's a small place so take it to go or there's a few chairs outside you can sit at. Owner is very friendly too! read more

This was such an amazing sandwich! I got the chicken tikka masala sandwich, stuffed into a ciabatta. It was absolutely jampacked with chicken and overloaded with flavor. I cannot wait to try some of the other offerings from Slow G's. There's just a chance it may have become my go-to sandwich shop. read more

This place was right in the complex where we stopped for gas on a road trip. We were searching for a snack and I couldn't believe my luck that I found this place so easily. Place is small, cafe style with around 5 tables. Menu is a mix of sandwiches, Indianized sandwiches, bowls and biryani. We decided to stick to the sandwiches and ordered their special sandwich with chicken and avocados and one chicken tikka masala sandwich. They used very less salt and I didn't find any cheese in the sandwich so I can see why this is healthy. But the chicken avocado was flavorless in my opinion. Without much salt it just fell flat. The chicken tikka sandwich on the other hand was mildly spiced with very less salt as well, the sandwich didn't have anything other than the curry so it kind of got a tad bit tiring towards the end. Props to them for attempting a healthier take on some of these dishes but my taste buds were seeking a bit more. read more

3.25 stars Loved, loved, loved the tuna melt. Usually not a big fan of mayo based salads. People often add too much mayo. I prefer tuna salad with just enough mayo to bind the salad ingredients. Slow G's tuna salad sandwich was yummy. Adding sweet chili sauce changed the flavor profile. Toasting it and making it a melt took it over the top. Unfortunately, the next 2 sandwiches weren't as yummy. The cold turkey sandwich was dry. I think the turkey breast was roasted in-house. It needed a sauce or spread for moisture. Even the creamy avocado slices couldn't save it. Actually took the leftovers home and slathered on ligonberry sauce (didn't have cranberry) and cream cheese. Much better. The rainbow veggie sandwich had potential but tasted bland to me. The pesto and hummus needed some kick. The raw veggies needed seasoning. Didn't like the grainy texture of the cheese. Not giving up. Can't wait to come back and try the curry chicken salad and chicken tikka sandwiches everyone's raving about. read more

Next to Smart and Final, tucked behind Taco Bell and the Donut Shop is this hidden gem. I have passed it a dozen times but noted that they were highly rated in The Infatuation for their breakfast sandwich. The review was not wrong. It's top notch. Remarkably, it's vegetarian. Japanese rolled omelette. lettuce, tomato, avocado. I am a carnivore. I was very impressed. Slight touch of indian spice. Proprietor was friendly and focused. Lots of nice choices. Simple clean interior. Only drawback, no bathroom. Suggest ordering ahead https://www.slowgeatery.com/ read more

Stopped by this cozy sandwich spot on our way to Sam's club (coming from SJ). We were greeted warmly assuming by the shop owner. There's a vast selection of sandwiches and salad we didn't know what to choose. Eventually we settled with the chicken pesto sandwich and the tuna quinoa salad. - chicken pesto sandwich - before we settled on this sandwich the owner did warn us that it was going to be more bland compared to his other sandwiches since it is a healthier option. He recommended the chicken bruschetta which has more flavor. However, since we are on a stricter diet, we ended up with the chicken pesto. The sandwich was still good despite being bland. The pesto wasn't overpowering and it felt very light to eat. Definitely would recommend this sandwich if you're on a diet and need something clean. -tuna quinoa salad - VERYY filling. I ended up not finishing my half of the plate because I still had an untouched sandwich that I still had to eat. The quinoa really fills you up and it's not one of those dry grainy textured ones. It was soft to the touch and paired very well with the tuna. The tuna was not a strong tuna flavor which balanced the salad very well. Overall, we would definitely come back whenever we decide to go back to this area! It seemed liked every customer knew the owner which brought a smile to our face because it show how connected everyone is in this area. :) read more

They were featured in the East Bay Times in the Food and Drink section for the best breakfast sandos. We actually went to try out their sandwiches and salads and they did not disappoint. They do take at least 10-15 min to make your sandwiches so keep that in mind when ordering. I had the Diablo Salad and added chicken for an extra $6. It's a large salad with enough veggies and protein. On top, they put flax seed chips. It was very filling and it was enough for 2 meals. Would come back if in the area! read more

I was shocked to see that it has been seven years since I first met Jay at that time the new owner. What I find incredibly admirable are two things: One is that Jay has upheld and surpassed his commitment to only serving real non processed food that is deliciously prepared. I truly feel his food is prepared with his love that he has for people! Two is that Jay's demeanor, attitude, and his love of humanity have never diminished not one iota in all of these years. No matter what time of day, how many people are in there or not in there Jay is always his authentic self spreading his love and good cheer to all people and that is truly admirable. read more

I'd like to say that this was one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. delicious and so very fresh! The bread was perfectly toasted, the chicken was juicy and tender, the crunch in the sandwich was on point! The service was super quick.

Well, this was my first time at Sow G's. Honestly, I learned about this restaurant as I was walking my dog at a park in Danville. The Lady named Lisa kept telling a friend and I how great the food was and urged us to try it. It is on Diablo street to the right of Smart & Final. I have been to the strip hundreds of times but never noticed Slow G's. I guess the name comes from the method they use to cook their food slow on low heat!!!! I love Indian food and the menu had some Indian fusion type sandwich and meals. I ordered the Chicken Tikka sandwich. It is like Chicken Tikka Masala in a sandwich. In short, it was outstanding. I was there at 12:30PM and it is now 6:47PM and I can still taste it. The spices and flavor just exploded in my mouth. The bread was very unique and it was something new as I had never had such bread. See the photo so that you can appreciate what I am taking about. Also, after I ordered my sandwich, I struck a conversation with the young man behind the cash register. He was very friendly and told me about the restaurant and the food. He said next time I go there I should try their spicy Biriyani. I assure you that I will and very soon. Also, while I waited, I walked over to a display board on the wall and had a lesson in self-motivation and overcoming difficult times. It was as if God put there for me to read. See the photo, Great job and great food at Slow G's. read more

I'm in this marketplace in Danville quite often. After all, my barbershop is there and Smart & Final, and they are my regular stops. I've wondered about Slow G's and their great reviews, but the "healthy" in the name had me looking the other way. That is, until recently. It's definitely NOT your regular sandwich shop, and it caught me off-guard. You won't find any sliced turkey here. In fact, only sandwiches (and salads, and plates) that are made with slow-cooked made in-house chicken, pork, and beef. Sign me up! A super nice gent guided me thru the process. I ordered a JAY SPECIAL with sliced pork, homemade pesto aioli, Havarti cheese, romaine lettuce, and fresh avocado served on a toasted ciabatta roll. Served warm, it was quite spectacular. The roll was magnificent! Such a great compliment of flavors. [$12, 4.5 stars]. They have many more unique combinations of sandwiches. Oh yes, I'll be back often. read more

Yummy, healthy, and filling meals here at Slow G's! I've tried their sandwiches years ago, but under new ownership, they have expanded their menu to include delicious Indian dishes/sandwiches as well! Thank you! Food: 1. Chicken Biryani {4/5 stars, $15} - Huge portions of chicken and rice with avocado and blueberries. I never seen avocado as a topping on biryani, but it went well. The blueberries I've had in biryani before and really tastes good with the spices and chicken. The rice is tender and flavorful and chicken was juicy and tender. Although, more chicken can be added. Service for take out: Exceptional. Online order through website. Very fast and efficient. Gives set time to pickup and was made on time. The employee or owner was very friendly and kind, made me feel like a valuable guest. Overall: A delicious and friendly restaurant to pick up anything from sandwiches to hot plates, with great portions, service, and taste! Highly recommend. read more

My family loves to eat healthy food. We have ordered food from Slow G's Healthy Eatery several times in the past. Today, I felt like a salad for lunch, and I had an hour to get food a bring it back, so we chose this restaurant because there's always plenty of free parking and it is close to home. When we walked in, the smell of fragrant spices and meats had us change our minds and order sandwiches. We ordered Jay's special roast beef sandwich and a chicken tikka sandwich with a mango lassi which we shared. Jay's special roast beef sandwich was super flavorful. I really enjoyed the different textures of the ingredients. If I ordered this sandwich next time, the only thing I would change the meat selection. I think it might taste better with poultry. As for the chicken tikka sandwich, my partner ordered it super spicy, so it really did pack a punch. The chicken inside the sandwich was a little dry for my taste but the flavor was quite tasty. One really great thing about this restaurant is that they are always really friendly. Be prepared to wait a bit for your order, but good things come to those who wait. read more

Feel the difference! After eating a sandwich or quinoa salad from Slow G's, you will not feel the need for a nap. (But if you down a soda with your Slow G's, don't blame us for your sugar crash!) We only cook skinless chicken breast and lean cuts of beef and pork. You won't find processed deli meats at Slow G's which tend to be high in sodium as well as fat and contain all sorts of additives, preservatives, and nitrates (you know...chemicals)! Our chicken, beef, and pork are slow cooked on the premises and are fresh and never frozen. We even make our own spreads and don't add any salt or sugar to these either. One of the items we make is our own pesto with edamame and fresh basil without it swimming in olive oil. Very unique and delicious! Fresh rolls are baked daily for our unique, tasty, and healthy sandwiches! Eat well...feel well.

From the moment you step inside, there is an unmistakable warmth to the space not just from the ovens but from the overall vibe. It is bright, upbeat, and welcoming in a way that immediately puts you at ease and sets the tone for a great experience. We started with the Pop Tarts which deserve special recognition. These are not novelty pastries. They are elevated, flaky, buttery, and packed with flavor. The kind of treat that makes you pause mid bite and immediately realize this place takes its craft seriously. The breakfast burrito was equally impressive. Hearty, well balanced, and comforting without being heavy, it was clearly made with intention and quality ingredients rather than shortcuts. The waffles with blueberries and whipped cream were outstanding. Crisp on the outside and soft and airy on the inside, with fresh blueberries that added brightness and a whipped cream that felt light and indulgent rather than overly sweet. It was the kind of dish that manages to feel nostalgic and refined at the same time. Then came the pastries. Any attempt at restraint disappeared quickly. Everything in the case looked incredible and after tasting the first few items it became obvious that passing on anything would have been a mistake. We ended up buying far more pastries than planned simply because the quality across the board was that high. There were no weak links. What truly elevates Life Is Sweet beyond excellent food is the energy of the place. There is a positivity that fills the room and it is completely effortless. It makes you want to slow down, sit longer, and enjoy where you are. Whether you are stopping in for a quick breakfast or lingering with coffee and conversation, the environment naturally lifts your mood. Life Is Sweet is not just a bakery or breakfast spot. It is a place that genuinely enhances your day. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere is inviting, and the experience stays with you well after you leave. This is a must visit in Danville and the kind of place you will find yourself thinking about long after the last pastry is gone.

My farro risotto was alright, I had better. The strawberry crumble was our favorite dessert! While the brownie one was far too rich for our taste.

It was about 1/4 cup quinoa and millet and more tangerine oranges than grains. Look at the difference of portion sizes from our experience vs Yelp photos. I felt this was inadequate and asked for more grains. I got a 1/2 cup of extra quinoa (only). Tofu scramble and pancakes (adult and kid versions) were good. The server tried to insinuate that the adult pancakes weren't enough, but they were more than enough. We also ordered one orange juice for a child (paper cup with a copper straw jammed through the opening) and hot tea. Honest review, it was overpriced and moderately good. I would not return; quality and value for 3 adults and 1 child was not worth $100+ including tip. Hope they consider my feedback to improve; this place has great potential.

More seats on the patio and also towards the back with heaters. Love the vibe. Just be prepared for the busyness. Also street parking only.

Even the blinds in the window were not lowered when we asked. Even the quality of the food was not what we had experienced in the past. The waiters were all new. Maybe that was the problem. Maybe even the chef had changed. I mentioned our concerns to the head waiter as we were leaving. All he could say was that he was sorry. It was "water off a duck's back. We are not returning anytime soon.

I learned a lesson- go with your first choice - I've been trying to practice that - I find when I do t do that- I wish I got what I wanted first . I got the herb crusted halibut - good - yet I was wanting more - the short rib bites were that- short . I was wanting more - and my guest got the Superfood salad with chicken- that's a huge win- it was so good - my first choice was the braised short ribs- mmmmmmmmmmmmm. I like the place. It's an old house converted and it has rustic charm. Outside seating is cozy with a fire and warmers - it was a little too chilly last Sunday for us- we were out all day and inside was nice .. it was a slow and cozy Sunday- it started to pick up when we were finishing up- unlike it here and we will be back.

However, it was a lovely day on Wednesday,so requested outdoor seating. They were not too busy and happily organized a table for 10 outside. We ordered drinks, appetizers, mains and shared beignets for dessert. Our server Carla was kind and efficient. She patiently met the multiple (sometimes unreasonable!) requests of the guests. We had a looong lunch, and enjoyed it! Great ambiance, delicious food and excellent service! Highly recommended!

We've hosted multiple end-of-season sports parties here, and every experience has been seamless. The food is fantastic with a great variety of BBQ options, and I really appreciate that they offer solid veggie choices too, it makes it easy for everyone to enjoy. And I have to mention their New Zealand sauvignon blanc... it's honestly one of my favorites! What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere. It's such a warm, family-friendly spot where we've created so many fun memories with friends and teammates. We've completely moved away from the typical pizza party places (especially after some not-so-great experiences elsewhere) and now always come here instead. It feels good to support a local business that truly supports families and local sports teams right back. Highly recommend for gatherings, celebrations, or just a great meal with good people!

I don't think the glass doors (which are easily cleaned with windex) have been cleaned in a long time. The interior has zero ambiance and seemed musty. Service was good but that was about it. The food left much to be desired. The best thing we had were the honey walnut prawns. They were not bad but I wouldn't say they were great. The lemon chicken was awful. No lemon taste and an overly thick crust. The fried rice was blah. We did have the crab cheese puffs as an appetizer which was not good. I tasted zero crab and couldn't see any either. Plenty of cheese though and I swear they put sugar in the crust. It was way too sweet and not good. I hate to leave such a bad review but that's how I experienced this visit.
