Alicia F.

Favorite Caesar salad wrap in SF! This is our go-to sandwich spot lately. They are located inside London Market on the corner of Divis & Sacramento. Open Tuesday - Saturday 11:30 AM - 3:30 PM but frequently sell out before 3:30 PM, especially on a weekend. We usually order ahead on their website before getting there, the wait can sometimes be long if you order in person, or you make the trek and their sold out! So life hack: order ahead. London Market is a high-end liquor store/tasting room. It is a beautiful space. The Hornet is tucked towards the back of the store and has a separate side entrance. There are 2 tables outside if you want to enjoy your food there. They also have a few doggy bowls, which my pups appreciate! Their menu consistent of 8 sandwiches which they rotate and typically offer 3 different styles daily. THE CAESAR WRAP! It is fresh, it is high quality, it is humongous. All of their offerings have great ingredients and top notch flavor. My biggest takeaway is that these sandwiches hold up well and don't get soggy!!!! We picked up around noon and ate them a few hours later and they were still perfect. Prices vary around $18 - $20, which is pretty typical for this portion. I can stretch it into two meals or my bf and I share one. (Has inflation gotten so bad? I feel like this is a bang for your buck!)

Chicken Cesar wrap added avocado
Ada H.

Stumbled upon this establishment on Yelp and had to try this spot because of the glowing reviews. It's an interesting set up located in the back of a wine store but the person taking the orders was very nice and I was sad to hear that their special was a Dungeness crab sandwich since I have already preordered their chicken Cesar wrap on their website. Wished they had specials available for preorder. The chicken Cesar wrap was delicious with each lettuce evenly coated with sauce. The only gripe I would have is that there wasn't that much chicken and the price was a bit steep for a chicken Cesar wrap. I honestly could've made this at home. Kind of regret not trying their sandwiches but definitely will be back for it.

The Montana
Gerard Y.

I went to The Hornet in person and ordered The Montana. The sandwich was hella hearty with meat on a sourdough roll. The menu seems to change every once in awhile so I'll be back to check out the other options. There's 2 tables outside if you want to eat the sandwich right there. It's nice that this place is located in a bottle shop, London Market, so you have the option of getting a nice craft beer to go with the sandwich too.

Spicy Carlo
Jared D.

Amazing sandwich. They are currently in the back of a wine shop. Great wine and beer selection, but that's beside the point. They have some great sandwiches. The service is friendly and great and guiding. Grab and go place, nowhere to eat but who cares. Nice shop that is clean. I got the Spicy Carlo and it was fantastic. The meat was shaved, veggies fresh, focaccia spongy with great bite. Everything was in great proportion. High quality ingredients for a high quality sandwich. Would love to eat all of their everything.

Tri tip steak sando
Ryan B.

Preordered the tri tip sando for pickup. The sandwich counter is conveniently located in the back of London Market. It was ready early, nicely packaged and I was thanked. The sando seemed to be toasted in a panini press, the steak was sliced to perfection and everything had proper proportions including the red pepper and chimichurri sauce. A+ and I will return to try the crab sando

French dip
Michael R.

The hornet is actually located inside London market liquor store. Service was pretty fast by the time I finished my lap around the store looking at all the cool wine and whiskey my sando was ready. they recommended the French dip and it was sooooo good! Can't wait to try all the other sandos they have.

Spicy Pops w/ rotisserie chicken. Delicious!

Excellent sandwich! Spicy Pops. Rotisserie chicken was tender (not at all dry), perfect combination of ingredients with great flavor, great bread. Fresh ingredients. Expect to wait (mine was 20 mins) but SO worth it. Or order online. Very friendly service. A couple small tables outside.

Cesar wrap

New spot with some phenomenal sandwiches! I have been back once a week since my first trip. Personal favorite is the Cesar wrap, I personally like to add a bit of crispy bacon for the added texture. Seriously don't sleep on the Cesar, BEST IN SF! Also, the portions are HUGE! Can't go wrong at this joint. Grab a Sammie, grab a beer, wine, bottle. Whatever tickles your pickle (no pun intended).

Carlo N.

The Hornet is hands down one of the best sandwich spots in Pacific Heights. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and specials for everyone. The flavors are on point, and you can tell they put real care into every sandwich. Definitely my new go-to in the neighborhood!

Sandwich was very good! But no seating really except for a few high top tables outside. More of a grab-and-go place! Service was great!

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.

I went with the Reuben: pastrami, Swiss, sauerkraut, 1000 Island on rye. It arrived warm, which I appreciated, but a warm sandwich with sauerkraut wrapped up for delivery is a rough combo. By the time it got to me the rye had gone a little soggy. A bit of a shame, but not a dealbreaker. Because the flavor itself was on point. The pastrami, Swiss, and sauerkraut balanced out well, nothing overpowered anything else, and it wasn't oversalted like a lot of Reubens end up being. The rye had a nice distinct character to it too. Next time I'll probably just walk in and order instead of doing delivery. I'm curious about their other sandwiches, though something cold would probably survive the DoorDash trip a lot better than this one did.

They're showing off their wares, flashing pristine teeth, and parading around in an endless convoy of BMWs, Mercedes, and Bentleys. It's a neighborhood where absolutely everything--from the cold-pressed juice to the real estate--has a heavy, unapologetic price tag associated with it. But we didn't come for the gloss. We came for soul. We came to find refuge in our ultimate comfort food at Lucca's Delicatessen. Walking through that door isn't just stepping into a shop; it's stepping into a Time Machine. My order never changes -- it's the Liverwurst on marble rye, dressed simply with a little tomato, mayo, and crisp lettuce. Yesterday, you might have been chasing whatever trendy sandwich they're slinging down at Lettuce, but today is about tradition. My wife goes for the Caprese sandwich with prosciutto--a beautiful, classic combination. For me, though, the magic happens on the very first bite. As soon as I crunch into that rye, the Marina melts away. I am a five-year-old boy again, sitting down with my mother at a long-lost lunch counter, just purely enjoying life. My wife knows this ritual; she sees the look on my face and she approves. That right there is the exact reason we come here. It's why we are willing to stand crammed together in that inhospitable, notoriously narrow line that hungry San Franciscans have been enduring since 1929. Dear God, think about that: it has been almost a century in existence. If you haven't tried it, maybe you should. Take a break from the shiny facade outside, step into the narrow line, and order something real. It will become a part of your DNA, just like it has permanently become a part of mine.
