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!

I've now been 3 times and each time it just was nothing impressive and definitely not worth $20+…read more This most recent visit I ordered their steak salad with caramelized onions and croutons - big miss here. Steak was barely flavorful, quite cold even though it was "cooked on the spot". The caramelized onions were cold and nothing out of this world - if anything because they were chilled, they lost a bit of their flavoring. The croutons were nonexistent, I almost had to go back and ask if they could add some until I found 3-4 at the very bottom of my bowl. A lot of greens which was good, good serving there. I got a side of focaccia and that was delicious (do wish they offered to toast it a bit, it'd be that much more yummy!). As for my other visits, same applies - unfortunately it's just an overpriced salad I know I can make better at home. Not to mention 1 of my visits was a pickup order and they completely forgot my dressing on the side. All in all, I am very let down by this place. Dare I say I love and prefer it to be Sweet Green. Bummer, I really was happy to have this in the area.

I'm actually giving this spot a 3.5 but rounding up to 4 because the Agua Fresca was excellent as…read morewell as portion sizes and packaging were on point for delivery. So while I can't speak to in person service or decor the delivery is on point. My peachy salad was just ok. The chicken was cold and not crunchy, and the cornbread crumbles were not crunchy at all, like kind of in between stale and crunchy... weird combo. Peaches and pickled onions were awesome though. The dressings that it came with which were a bbq sauce and some type of special ranch also were a weird combo, glad it was on the side vs in the salad itself otherwise I'm not sure I would have eaten it. Crispy cauliflower was good but definitely not crispy at all! Probably got softer on delivery but definitely not something that should be advertised as crispy when it's not... The saving item was my carrot ginger agua fresca- this was amazing! Loved it, that gets a 5/5. Food is 3/5.

Second time at Mixt, first time at this location. This time I got a steak salad with potatoes,…read morecorn, butter lettuce, cauliflower, sweet potato, wonton crisps, and hot sauce. I really liked how spicy and flavorful the hot sauce was, and enjoyed this combo of toppings though I found the steak a bit chewy. I would probably stick with the blackened chicken again next time. Wifi was available but was quite slow. Typical fast casual dining experience but there were some cozy booths inside and plenty of seating space.

I came in specifically for the seasonal items and let me tell you... mission fully accomplished…read more My two picks were the Sonoma Salad and the Bangkok Bowl, and WOW -- both delivered in totally different (but equally amazing) ways. If you're craving something refreshing, light, and fruity, the Sonoma is a must. The pears take it to the next level and give it that perfect sweet, crisp bite that makes every forkful feel extra refreshing. It's the kind of bowl you order when you want to feel bright and satisfied. Now if you're in the mood for something warm, crunchy, and nutty, the Bangkok Bowl is your girl. The texture, the richness, the cozy vibes -- chef's kiss. It's hearty without being heavy and hits all the comfort-food notes. And can we talk about portions?! These bowls are NO joke. I swear I made a huge dent in mine, looked down thinking I was almost done... only to realize I basically still had a whole second meal left. Instant take-home win. On top of all that, the staff is super friendly, the space is clean, bright, and welcoming, and the whole experience just feels good from start to finish. I came for the seasonal menu but I'll definitely be back for everything else too. If you're debating what to order: Sonoma for fresh + fruity, Bangkok for warm + crunchy -- you truly can't go wrong!

Delicious, high quality food served in a timely fashion. Even though my plant burger looked dry it was refreshingly tasty and soft. My fellow diners loved their bowl choices too.

I'm not sure if he's the manager but he needs to do way better. I showed him my order and he had an attitude when he asked for my name. He said order just came in 4 minutes ago, I totally understand that food takes time so I asked to use restroom. When I came out I saw my order on the counter but did not grabbed it. I asked him to check if any of those were my order and he said "no" I told him I saw my order on the back counter and he rudely said "you did not" I told him to please check the orders in the front counter and he gave me my order stating he haven't realized it was a pick up... Idk if this the way you're treating everyone but I didn't find the attitude to be the correct one for a place like this. Food is great but remove this man if he's in management. Thanks!

The first time I picked up from there, I got the rice bowl with chicken. I wanted to try the rotisserie fat rice that came with it. That was a big mistake as the bottom portion of the box was so oily and heavy that it would've been the same if I just opened a bottle of cooking oil and just drank it. The second time, I went with the rotisserie chicken salad. My fault for assuming their house dressing wouldn't be creamy, I asked for my salad to be tossed rather than the dressing on the side. Another big miss as there was so much dressing that my salad was drowning in it. The online ordering option didn't allow me to select light or extra dressing. A decently priced lunch spot in Hayes Valley, but sadly both times have been misses for me.
