This market is a foodies dream. They have sandwiches and so many specialty items for sell. It was so hard not buying the whole store! My husband got their famous Padrino sandwich. I did a build your own which was pretty similar - both were delicious. I also got an Italian lemonade and homemade Mexican dessert which was similar to a pop tart. One had guava and the other was filled with Nutella. The guava was definitely better. Make sure you stop by here because this visit was epic. I can't wait to go back. read more

The Olive Market - 2. Padrino - Delis Near Me - Pleasanton, California

The staff are very friendly, the store is clean and tidy. I've been here a few times looking for special ingredients and I can attest to the pita bread located behind the deli area is delicious. I bought some on a whim and asked how fresh it was, and the employee/owner at the time mentioned that they get regular deliveries. I can't quite recall if it was every day or every other day, but I can say that it the pita bread was great. I am looking forward to trying some of the imported ingredients and may replenish my spices form here when I am running low. This time I ordered the #4, which is mortadella, stracciatella cheese, and a pistachio spread. The sandwich was delicious, but I hadn't expected the pistachio spread to be sweet. I think that while the sandwich could do with a bit more salt to offset the light creaminess of the cheese and the sweetness of the spread, that it was a worthwhile adventure. I definitely will be back to try other sandwiches or order a "build your own" sandwich. The quality of ingredients seem to be high. Growing up in San Francisco with all the great Italian, Russian, and other old school delis that existed in the 1980s-early 2000s, it's nice to see one of this caliber open up in the Tri-Valley. If the quality continues to persist, The Olive Market will have a loyal customer for many years to come. read more

Dropped in late afternoon and could not resist trying a different sandwich from my initial visit, their Market Special: Brisket hot pastrami, swiss cheese, and house-made coleslaw on Acme sweet soft roll. I was greeted warmly upon entering and the sandwich was expertly crafted, generously portioned with noticeably fresh ingredients. The flavors and overall experience did not disappoint! Well worth the stop! read more

Expensive but so good I got some sandwiches for a pic nic with my kids they loved it :)

So glad that we found this place! We got sandwiches here and they were SO good, we had to come back! We ordered the market special loaded sandwich, and it is so delicious. The meat is so tender and the ratios are on point! They also offer a wide variety of unique groceries. The service is amazing as well! We will definitely be back very soon! read more

The Olive Market - The market special loaded sandwich! - Delis Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Delicious, high quality sandwiches and ingredients. On the pricier end but it's worth it, and you get to support locally! I always look forward to coming back and hope more people continue to visit. My only issue is that it is unclear how much it costs to add meat to an existing sandwich. Please consider adding the cost of adding various meats to a sandwich on the menu and reflecting any price increases for ingredients! This happened a while ago as my review here is overdue from June, but I was initially charged for an increased price of $4.50 to add meat to my sandwich (the price of all deli meats went up 1-2 days prior). The cashier at the time kindly made things right as the deli staff had mentioned the original price of $2 for the added meat, hence why I said yes. Regardless, things like that need to be clearly stated for customers to prevent confusion. RECS: + Besto ($15) was amazing, I loved the pesto and balsamic glaze which added perfect flavors to the sandwich. Soft roll was perfect, it's like a flatter ciabatta almost in a roll shape. Adding prosciutto (+$4.50) makes it pricier but definitely worth if splurging + Padrino ($18.99) had yummy pastrami! I opted to add a layer of calabrian chili to my sandwich for an extra kick + Market special ($18.99) was soo loaded with meats and fixings. I personally found the ciabatta bread very hard to chew, so I would consider getting a different bread next read more

I finally finally FINALLY was able to make it here and try the Market Special sandwich. OH. MY. GAWD!!!! It's amazingly delicious!!! I mean, in pictures, it looks mouth watering. But in person? BOOM! Mind blowing! Make sure you get it LOADED! The melty cheese, the toasty bread with the perfect chew, the hot and hearty pastrami, the calabria spread with a little kick... I could go on and on. It's just the perfect sandwich that there is no way I could replicate. My son got the Manzo. Also very delicious with many slices of meat, cheese, on a fresh baked roll. Aside from sandwiches, it is a market. They sell many international food items, dry goods, treats from around the world from all the continents, bottled beverages, and small gifts. It's the perfect place to create a gift basket for your foodie friends. There are 2 small tables outside if you want to eat there but if those are taken, you can sit at Starbird's patio. I'm coming back for sure!! I'm still thinking about that sandwich. Yummy. read more

A great little gem! Olive Market is a small, new local shop with a really unique selection of Mediterranean items right when you walk in -- things you don't typically find in bigger stores. The deli is in the back of the store and sandwiches aren't cheap, but they are absolutely worth it -- fresh, flavorful, and made with quality ingredients. The service is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they truly care about their customers. I'm honored to support a local business that's working hard and thriving. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Sweet little shop with a lot of variety of products to choose from. We ordered one of their well known sandwiches, The Four Quarters and purchased some coffee, baklava, and candy.

The Olive Market - #1 - Delis Near Me - Pleasanton, California

I just enjoyed a #9 Turkey Truffle Honey. Quite possibly the best sandwich I have ever had! Delicious. They were sampling the Afelin Swedish dessert also scrumptious,so I of course bought one. The owner makes herself and she is so very personable. I will definitely be back! read more

This sandwich spot has been on my list for a while, was finally in the area so I decided to stop by for lunch. It was empty for lunch time, but the workers were busy making sandwiches. They get a lot of online/phone orders. I decided on the ciao down and my fiancé a build your own turkey sandwich. The ciao down was BOMB. From the fresh bread to the thinly sliced meats every ingredient works together do the yummiest sandwich. The turkey sandwich was also very good. While waiting for my sandwich I had the opportunity to look around, they have lots of different Mediterranean snacks, drinks and grocery items. The workers here are also so nice. I'll be back! read more

Cute little spot with lots of niche spices and ingredients from around the world! We stopped by to get some sandwiches and made our own--bread was super fresh and delicious and love that they slice the meats fresh every time (though this does contribute to longer wait times). I do think providing forms for people to fill out their orders could save time as there was a 30+ min wait right after we placed our order (lots of people calling. It could also maybe help with order accuracy, as our sandwiches were good but had some slight misses (missing sauces and one wasn't toasted as requested). Nevertheless, still a solid sandwich and the staff were all super kind and love supporting small shops like this! read more

The Olive Market - Make your own ham sandwich - Delis Near Me - Pleasanton, California

The BEST sandwich in East Bay. I'm not a huge sandwich fan but their bread is fresh and meat quality- doesn't taste processed at all. Service is very friendly but takes a while to make because it made to order. It's a small supermarket with 2 tables outside. To go place not a full service restaurant. read more

Umm, one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while!!! Got the chicken sandwich and they did not skimp on the meat and veggies, but the only reason for the 4 instead of 5 star is I asked them not to put mustard in it and I think they forgot my request. Oh well... it was still good. Also grabbed the jalapeño and cilantro hummus and it was absolutely scrumptious!! Going to do a roasted cauliflower dish with this hummus at home and it's gonna be GREAT. Very friendly workers who greeted us with pastry samples--a plus! Definitely coming back. It has a boutique mom and pops store vibe and I love it. I have a feeling I will be a regular! read more

Since I was in the area, I finally had a chance to stop by and browse around. Upon entering I was greeted by the cashier and asked if I was looking for anything or was I new to the place. Stating the later, she walked me through the place and the general setup and ring up if I decided to pick up a sandwich. The place itself is a neat little shop/deli and after browsing around I did decide on getting a sandwich. I decided on getting the fall special and honestly it was by far one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The depths of flavor and the hit of honey was definitely a nice touch. Albeit it was a tad pricier than some other sandwich places..the proportions was pretty big and overall very satisfying. Definitely will try some more sandwiches when I'm in the area again. read more

What a neat little place! This market has a deli and a lot of neat different types of food whether you look for charcuterie board ingredients, sweets or to get pasta for dinner. I ordered the Padrino sandwich. Sandwiches here will cost you about $18 which is quite steep but the sandwiches are huge and you could easily split one with a friend. The ingredients tasted fresh and were very delicious. I will definitely be back for more! read more

The Olive Market - Padrino - Delis Near Me - Pleasanton, California

GREAT sandwiches!! They've been on my Yelp bookmarks since they opened. I love the concept of a grab and go sandwich - the reviews speak so highly of them too, so I knew I had to try! We came on a Sunday for lunch and there was a good number of people queuing for their sandwich. You order at the deli, then they call your name to pick up your order. Payment is done at the cash register of the market. They have a ton of items sold here, I saw many variations of Dubai chocolates lol For the sandwiches, my BF and I got 2! - Padrino ($18) (4.5/5): I loved the variety of toppings in this sandwich. The prosciutto paired beautifully with the mortadella!! At times, the flavors did become a bit overwhelming due to the saltiness of the meats. I think the onions and tomatoes helped a ton with adding some acidity though. - Ciao Down ($16) (5/5): I didn't expect this one to be my favorite... but it was!! Don't sleep on the pistachio cream paired with the stracciatella. It was literally a match made in heaven. I liked the bread on this one better, since it was softer and easier to eat. The mortadella was also as soft as a pillow so the texture and flavors combined made it great! They have some tables outside if you plan on eating at the market. We opted to go to a nearby park. The staff were all very friendly and patient when we were ordering. Would 10/10 come back! read more

The Olive Market in Pleasanton is truly a gem. It's a family-owned business run by some of the kindest, hardest-working people you'll ever meet. You can feel their passion the moment you walk in--they genuinely care about their market and their customers. What really sets The Olive Market apart is their thoughtfully curated selection. They carry fresh sandwiches along with a variety of unique grocery items, many sourced from smaller vendors. My husband and I ended up loading up on so many interesting finds we hadn't seen anywhere else, and it made the whole experience even more fun. The staff goes out of their way to accommodate customers, which is something you just don't see often anymore. And while it's located near places like In-N-Out and Chick-fil-A, don't make the mistake of comparing it to fast food. This is not that kind of place. Their sandwiches are made fresh to order, so there may be a bit of a wait, but trust me, it is absolutely worth it. I've recommended The Olive Market to so many people, and every single one of them has loved it. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. You won't be disappointed! read more

The hype is real, this sandwich was to die for! I came in with my coworkers and I was a little nervous because I suggested the place and I've never been here before, I just saw the massive sandwich pictures. I was relieved when no one was disappointed and our lunch was so good! I got the padrino and it tastes as good as it looks. Everyone at the store was so nice and the customers were locals so you know this is the spot. Definitely recommend if you're thinking about it. read more

A small store offering Mediterranean products of spices, olive oils, baklava and other desserts, frozen pizzas, phyllo, puff pastry, flatbreads, canned goods, items to make a charcuterie board, paella and their popular deli with some amazing looking sandwiches. I stopped by after dining at Starbirds next door but kind of wish I grabbed a sandwich based on all the 5-star reviews and mouthwatering pics. 2 bistro tables outside to dine there but mainly set up for to go. The woman at the register was helpful, friendly and welcoming. Next time I have a plan to make some Middle Eastern dish, I'll definitely return. My first visit, I left with some Edy's Kefta Kebab seasoning, frozen spinach ketayfa, knafeh and walnut baklava. A very organized store and recommend stopping by...and yes they do have some Dubai Chocolate bars and ingredients to make your own! Small parking lot shared with Starbird and Teriyaki Madness. read more

Not only is this place a grocery store with plenty of Mediterranean food, but it's also a deli where they serve sandwiches. The service was great, and the space overall was clean, organized, and bright. I ordered their SF Chronicle featured item, the Padrino Sandwich. It was absolutely stunning and packed with different meats and veggies. Everything was extremely fresh, and each bite was delicious. The one thing I would change is the bread choice, as it was a little hard to bite into with all the ingredients packed into the sandwich. Overall, it was an excellent experience. :) read more

The Olive Market - Padrino Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Pleasanton, California

Amazing Palestinian owned grocery store and deli! Have all the familiar middle eastern favorites in the grocery store section but the real gem of this place is their deli sandwiches. I tried the pastrami, the turkey, and the padrino sandwiches. All three were a major HIT. I couldn't finish my individual sandwich because it was so large and generous with the inside fillings. The staff is soooo nice. Everyone was friendly, upbeat, and inviting. The store is really clean, put together, and aesthetic. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this place. I will absolutely be back whenever possible to try more yummy sandwiches and pick up some yummy grocery store items! read more

Wow--no words! Walking into Olive Market is like stepping into a warm hug from your local community. The aroma of fresh ingredients from the deli hits you immediately, and the place has comforting vibes. The staff are incredibly sweet, friendly, and helpful. I loved chatting with them and hearing about their favorite items--there's a lot of care behind every item here. This place is packed with gems: seasonings, pantry goods, cheeses, frozen items, dried fruits, olives, oils--and more. I ended up picking up Dubai chocolate, a bag of za'atar, hummus, pita, frozen snacks, olive oil, Calabrian chili spread, and a few other goodies. I can't wait to try everything and I already know I'll be back soon with a second cart. And the sandwiches? Game-changer. I ordered the Ciao Down w/ Calabrian chili + the Market Special--both were absolutely incredible. Fresh, simple, high-quality ingredients that speak for themselves. You can really taste the love and care in every bite. Such a special neighborhood gem. You won't try sandwiches like this anywhere else. Highly recommend stopping by and experiencing it for yourself! read more

After a long day of travel, I decided to stop by here for a quick bite before my final trek home. Boy am I glad I did! Let's get into it... Ambiance - First and foremost, this is a market. They have a deli inside, but there is limited seating outside and no seating inside. I just wanted to be clear on that so you can set proper expectations. It's a really cute market with lots of great Mediterranean offerings. Service - The ladies I interacted with were extremely nice. The ones who took my order at the deli were great and the lady who rang me up was very nice too. Service is top notch! Food - I got the #1 which is a pastrami sandwich. It was very good! It's a little pricey at $16.99 for a sandwich, but at least the sandwich itself was great. I was going between the pastrami or roast beef. I'd probably try the roast beef next time just to try something different. Overall, it's a cute little market with great people working there and the food is great at the deli as well. The restroom was clean and overall it made for a great experience. I would definitely come back again. read more

The Olive Market arose where Denny's once stood. 1 of 3 new businesses. Same parking lot. The main draw is the deli with it's artisan sandwiches. The grocery with selections from the Middle East, South Asia, & Eastern Europe provides a fertile garden for a treasure hunt. Not much decor, short stacks, adequate aisles, short shelfs. Buys: Mr. Chips Potato Snacks (2.99) -Jordan. Baked from dried potato in pasta shapes. Melt in mouth airiness. Slightly crunchy. Paprika centricity addictive. Indomie Instant soup Noodle: curry (5/2.30) -Indonesia. Easy to make. Not air fried. Nice flava. Mi Goreng version may be best amongst instants.. Noodle chewiness depends on cooking accuracy. Milka Choc & Chock (biscuits) 5/4.99 -Poland. Exquisite bakes with layers of white alpine milk chocolate interspaced with baked soft cookie textures..i.e. chocolate cookie sandwich. Ahmad Tea: Cardamom tea bags (100/8.99) -United Arab Emirates producer. -mostly black tea with slight cardamom presence. Not enough cardamom for me. Like Indian and Yemen version better. *best to go during off hours. Parking lot too small. **mostly got items not previously experienced.. Definitely repeating. read more

Excellent, delicious sandwiches! Our favorite is the loaded #1, best pastrami in a very long time. And, on Acme bread! The market place has all kinds of wonderful olives, ingredients, cookies, candy, breads, humus and more from around the world. Not inexpensive, is it worth it? We went twice in one week and it is a good thing we were traveling light because I likely would have broke the bank on this little treasure trove of delectables.

Came here on a Thursday afternoon before 4. First time here and wanted to check it out! It was very nice and organized Mediterranean market with lots of different things! I was particularly drawn to the chocolate section! They have the viral Dubai chocolate at the counter and they sell the mold for making your own. The lady there was friendly and showed me where all the ingredients were for making the Dubai chocolate! She then told me they have Dubai brownie too so I got that since I have never had it before . The brownie had a fudge on top, then knafeh then a layer of brownie on the bottom. I've had Dubai chocolate before and this brownie has less crispy knafeh. Next time, I'll try their Dubai chocolate. The lady said it's from a store in SF. They also have a deli. Will definitely come back to try their sandwiches! read more

I found The Olive Market while scrolling through photos from a past Yelp Elite event and immediately sent the link to my husband. He's a big sandwich guy, and everything I saw looked seriously good. We decided to make the drive out to Pleasanton for an early dinner and showed up just before they were about to close. Even though it was the end of the day, the staff was super friendly and welcoming. We ordered the #2 and #4 and hung out while they made them fresh to order. It took about 15 minutes, which flew by since we were browsing all the unique snacks, oils, and goodies they carry in the shop. When the sandwiches came out, we were both impressed. The #2 was delicious, but the #4 completely hit the spot. Mortadella, stracciatella, pistachio cream... the flavors came together so well. I'm already craving another one. Great sandwiches, kind staff, and a cozy little market vibe that makes you want to linger. Definitely worth the trip, and we'll be back soon. read more
