Who woulda thought this little gem existed on the Marina in Alameda. Got the East Meets West sandwich and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Pair with your favorite bag of chips and a nice crispy soda and you have a pretty satisfying meal. Will come back if I'm in the area. read more

1070 Marina Village Pkwy Ste 105 Alameda, CA 94501 The Waterfront Deli is a convenient place to get coffee, a sandwich, or a quick meal near the Marina. It's located on the marina side of 1070 Marina Village Parkway, and is not visible from the parking lot. I've known about this place for years, but never had a reason to drop by. But on a Monday morning, I decided to try their sandwiches after my doctor's appt got done early. It's actually a nice location if you want to take a break and relax. The outside patio has a view of the marina, and it's pretty quiet. I wasn't really impressed with this place. The young lady who took my order at the counter didn't say hello, she just asked for my order. I ordered the Roast Turkey Special w/ Cranberry Sauce on sliced sourdough. Pretty ordinary sandwich for $12.50. While I was waiting I added a large fruit salad (mostly watermelon) for $7.50. I took my order to go, but there's tables inside and on the patio. Would I return? Probably not. Free parking in office lot. read more

I was in the area and stopped by for a snack. I got a quick, delicious, hearty cup of lentil soup for $6 (including tax). I sat on the boardwalk with a beautiful view. The rest of the menu looks intriguing and the location is quiet and clean. Dining on the marina in the fresh air and sunshine is fun. Waterfront Deli is a humble little treasure. read more

Good sandwich. Lots of space to sit indoors and outdoors. Service was quick. I'd probably swap the spread for mustard so this might be top a tier sandwich just wasn't for my palette. Will come back again and do the swap. Update rating then also. read more

Waterfront Deli - Italian special sandwich - Delis Near Me - Alameda, California

Two (2)) stars for nice staff. As for their food--please note I did not go in with high expectations...was prepared for just okay; so ordered a simple salami & cheese sandwich and a simple chicken wrap. Even with low expectation, I was totally disappointed i.e., no taste, bland, poor quality ingredients. You'd think for a biz, only open weekdays, morning and afternoon, they could put a little more effort & thought into the food product. read more

Great lunch place. You can order ahead on their website. Nice family owned sandwich shop with a great view. read more

Excited to have finally tried this place :). Staff and Service: - Order at the register and your number will be called for you to pick your food up at the counter (took about 10-15 minutes as I went during lunchtime hours) Food and Drinks: - East Meets West: I'm so glad I picked this sandwich. It contained tasty bulgogi, red onion, jalapeños, avocado, provolone, and a garlic spread. What more could you want? I got it in a ciabatta roll, which made it easy to eat. - Each sandwich comes with a choice to do just the sandwich, Combo A (chips and canned soda), or Combo B (soup or salad). - Peanut Butter Bar: not sure if this was a protein bar? Either way, it was a bar packed with peanut butter and small dried cranberries, which was an interesting surprise. It was a little on the chalky side, but it still had good flavor Miscellaneous: - Bathrooms are located outside and around the corner (shared with the other businesses in the Research Park) - Parking is available via the shared parking lot with the other businesses - There are about 10 or so tables inside, 2 tables immediately outside, and then a few tables located along the railing that divides the walking path from the dock to the boats read more

Wonderful hidden gem. Good, fresh food and very nice owners. Just wish it was open on the weekends! Also they could use more visibility from the street / outside the business park read more

The cutest little deli on the marina in Alameda. I wanted to have lunch with a friend outdoors since I wanted to bring my dogs out. Found this via Yelp. Right by the water so the view is beautiful. It was a nice day and the employees were so friendly to me and my dogs. I ordered a Cesar wrap and the chili and it was just enough for lunch. Pricing wasn't bad either. It was nearby to a plaza that we walked to for boba after. The perfect spot to bring your dogs by the water and catch up with friends (-: read more

Our company uses Waterfront Deli for catering and it is such a great pleasure interacting with Esther and Mateo. First off, their food is delicious! They offer a variety of sandwiches, hot plates (rice/pasta), and salads for a reasonable price. Esther communicates great with you via email or on the phone. She really caters to your crowd. When the food arrives, they are labeled so there's no mix up. We had them as our caterer for an event that occurred 2x a week for 4 weeks. Esther reached out to see how the food was and offered to switch up the menu. We received many compliments from our guests how delicious their food was. read more

I love their lasagna soup and a nice big piece of tiramisu. Hurry up and bring back the lasagna soup it is so needed since we really don't have a summer. read more

Cute little deli right on the water. Been wanting to try for a while, and it was pretty good. I tried the BLT with avocado and my husband tried the ham cheese and egg on croissant. To say it was gone in 60 secs is an understatement lol. Also got a side of pesto which was fairly plain and dry. Wouldn't recommend. they also have an assortment of delicious brownies, we tried the fudge. I liked it here, good service and fast. Fresh and delicious sandwiches. Can't wait to try the other stuff on the menu !! Thanks waterfront read more

I came here for the first time after hearing about the Bulgog Sandwich they have. Had the East Meets West (Bulgogi) Sandwich... and it was one of the best sandwiches I've had. The bread was lightly toasted which gave it a crunch but the bread was still really soft. I will definitely be back regularly for this sandwich!! Give it a try you won't regret it. read more

Tucked away in Alameda's marina, you'll find the best sandwiches on the island. I ordered the Italian special which came on delicious sourdough bread. This sandwich had the right amount of salami and ham and had a perfect ratio of red onion, lettuce, tomato, and their house garlic spread. This is a great stop for a delicious, affordable lunch. There are tables inside and out with a beautiful view of Oakland across the harbor. 10/10, will be back! read more

Waterfront Deli - Italian Special Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Alameda, California

My family was in town and they were craving a sandwich, so they picked WD. I had never been before, but it was so close to where I work. Not to mention reasonable pricing! We arrived and there was one other person there. We followed their social distance protocols. We browsed the menu--I was waffling between tuna and chicken salad. Ultimately, I chose the later because it came with avocado. We ordered three sandwich, chip, & drink combos and by the time we walked out, there was a line of people. Our order took less than 10 minutes and everyone's sandwich looked great. I notes that their hot sauce selection included sriracha and Tabasco. The Dutch crunch roll was nice and tender. A part of me wishes I got it toasted, but feared it would tear up the roof of my mouth :P The chicken salad tasted good and the veggies were fresh. I enjoyed the meal very much and look forward to visiting again for the tuna melt (and other items)! read more

Waterfront Deli - Chicken Salad Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Alameda, California

I visited this cute, small deli shop for the first time and got a sandwich on a roll, toasted. The sandwich itself was good, but I felt it could have been better. The toaster they used didn't really crisp the bread as I expected, so it didn't stay warm for long, especially with the cold ham and veggies. That being said, the price was decent,cheaper than other delis I've been to. read more

I highly recommend emailing your order to Esther and pick up to save time. The owners are always friendly and helpful. My coworkers and I enjoy the sandwiches with a view here. One time, I forgot to include a client's lunch so I called it in, parked on a curb, ran with my heels because chicken salad plate was already ready to pick up. It was Marcela who helped me that day so I truly appreciate it!! read more

Waterfront Deli - Roast turkey special - Delis Near Me - Alameda, California

Walt from Walt's Adventures here. I found myself at the Waterfront Deli in Alameda, California! It's a small deli next to a marina in Alameda. It's located on the waterside of a nondescript building filled with small businesses. However, it is worth visiting because it is a pearl in the ocean. The deli has a good selection of sandwiches and salads and even makes a number of sandwiches to meet your breakfast needs. I ordered a turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce. It was a well made sandwich and it was just the right size. I ordered it with chips and a soda. It was a good sandwich but for my tastes, it was a bit dry. We also ordered the Mediterranean Wrap with chicken. This was a fine, well crafted sandwich. Like other delis, they bring your order to your table. However, they do so on a silver platter. No, I do not mean this figuratively but literally. It was a silver platter! No other restaurant that I have ever visited has ever do so. 4 out of 5 because I got a pickle with my tray but others in my party did not. I thought it was an oddity. If you want to sit peacefully by the water, have a perfected sandwich and take a small break from life, seek out the Waterfront Deli. It's located in Alameda, California read more

Super friendly. I tried ordering sandwiches at another place that had already closed, so I was in a pinch to find lunch for friends who thought I had them covered. I happened to be at CVS and it was 2:50pm. Waterfront Deli listing said they were nearby and closing soon, so I gave them a call. He was happy to take my order even with only 10 minutes to closing. I ordered two hot pastrami sandwiches to go. Slipping in just under the wire, when I got there the sandwiches were hot and ready. I paid, and that was that. My friends both said their sandwiches were delicious and very filling. We will definitely be back. read more

A cute little deli hidden away overlooking the marina! We were looking for something simple, soup and salad perhaps, and saw the Waterfront Deli listing on Yelp. We made one wrong turn, so it took a few extra minutes to find it. As you approach fron the parking lot, a sign in front of the building directs you around to the back side, looking out over the the moored boats of all kinds. Along the way, offices of different boat dealers advertise their offerings. The deli itself is a small space, and there were a few people who had ordered before us. The place was nice and clean, menu on display boards for browsing. My wife ordered a small tuna/greens salad, while I opted for lentil soup, and we both had iced tea. And we were very pleased when the food came. Tasty, reasonably priced, and with a quiet place to eat. We were both very glad to have found our way to the Waterfront Deli. read more

East meets west sandwich is unparalleled. Super savory and sweet, the sandwich is the perfect combination that will send your taste buds on a journey they won't regret. Love, love LOVED that sandwich. Their breakfast sandwiches are fantastic as well read more

I walked in to get a coffee and buy gift cards for an upcoming event. I was promptly greeted with "no dogs in here." Which is funny as he is a service animal. With so many local businesses struggling for business it would be pertinent for owners to properly train their staff on how to respond. Today you lost $200 in business. read more

Cute little cafe by the water. The owners are always so sweet and when I ordered eggs with bacon, they even asked me how I like my bacon; crispy or soft? they have varieties of food from traditional American breakfast to salads, sandwich and some Korean food. read more

Exemplary service. The staff couldn't have been nicer, particularly Esther who helped me with my catering order. Her insightful input and recommendations made planning especially stress free. I will definitely contact them again! read more

Nice little place to eat lunch or breakfast surrounded by yacht brokers and sailboats in Alameda.

This is an amazing place to grab a quick bite. Went here a lot during my 3-months program in research park. The sandwiches are very good. Affordable, good quality food. Liked seafood melt sandwich is good. All time favorite- grilled chicken special. The staff there is very friendly and welcoming. I absolutely recommend this place read more

My office is located across the street and with limited lunch options nowadays, this is a good spot to grab a sandwich. Nothing fancy but at least it's a fairly healthy option at a reasonable price. You can also find some Korean dishes here if that is up your alley. Those are pretty tasty but not cheap. An added plus, is the abundance of outdoor seating along the water. It's a good place to get some fresh air without having to worry too much about people getting within 6' of you. read more

Not gonna lie, I wasn't as impressed with Waterfront Deli as all these reviews seem to be. My turkey burger salad was pretty pedestrian, simple and quite frankly, not worth the money. The only saving grace for this spot is that the views were beautiful with the outdoor seating. The place inside is pretty cold and sterile. The menu although looks incredible, my salad was weak and it was $9.50. It was probably worth more like $5. A very small salad with a small amount of turkey meat crumbled on top, served with a small serving of hummus and pita. Not worth it. My colleague was unimpressed with her 'east meets west' sandwich. It's a fine option if you happen to be over here and need food ASAP, but it's for sure not a destination. read more

Waterfront Deli - Italian Special Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Alameda, California

Such a sweet family owned restaurant. I use to come here a lot when I worked in the area . I still find myself occasionally stopping by for their turkey burger salad . If that's one thing I recommend it's that ! It's the perfect mix like I don't even see myself eating that . In fact when I first saw and heard about it I was like that's too healthy no thanks . But y'all healthy taste sooo good like soo soo good . If you placed a burger or that in front of me I would choose the turkey burger salad for sure . read more

Had the seafood melt here recently and it was alright. Think california roll (with a little bit of shrimp) between two slices of bread with some cheese on top. That sounds kinda good right? Well it was indeed kinda good, but I think if I go back I'll get something a little bit less avant garde. read more

Great deli spot if you're on a time crunch! Large parking area, quick service and quality ingredients! Indoor and outdoor seating available. Lots of options for vegetarians or meet lovers. I believe they can accommodate vegans too. I had the chicken Mediterranean wrap which was great! When I go back I want to try the East meets West sandwich read more

This place is so nice and calm. The food is very simple, but each part is so well chosen. For instance the bread is just amazing.

A nice atmosphere sitting outside in the harbor with a good view of the water and the boats. Outdoor seating was plentiful. I had a BLT and it was OK -- not great. They had a large selection of chips and drinks. read more

Waterfront deli is such a great lunch spot. My coworker and I come here often to get a sandwich and sit by the water. Everyone in our office loves the diverse menu and the simple options, I always go for the chicken salad sandwich! The owners are so sweet and really want to make sure you enjoy your food. They get pretty busy during the lunch rush but they work through it well. Hoping their business pulls through these hard times, make sure to come by! read more

Waterfront Deli - Fav chicken salad sandwich! - Delis Near Me - Alameda, California

My turkey cranberry sandwich had good quality fillings. It's too bad the wheat bread was super stale and dry. Also, ordering online for pickup is a bit useless. I arrived and went to to where the sign says "pick up here" and I had to wait until they helped the people for the in-person orders to be done. After that, they asked me what I needed while I was right next to the pickup sign. read more

Standard deli fare + Mediterranean (falafel, hummus) + Korean fusion (bulgogi taco, spicy pork burrito) and rice plates?!? Some of my favorite lunchables collected together in one spot! I decided to try a couple of things so got the Falafel & Eggplant Sandwich ($5.95) and one Korean Taco ($2.50). The Korean Taco is on two corn tortillas with bulgogi (thin sliced, marinaded beef), lettuce, sour cream, plenty of gochujang based hot sauce, and a pinch of cilantro hiding under everything (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/waterfront-deli-alameda?select=ieFhIu-0hO6n9clCFqGATQ#AV0pb0aYakA2lfBkUsSODg). Could have used some more meat, but overall satisfying and the hot sauce got my sweat on. I wish they listed the ingredients on the menu; I would have passed on the sour cream & cilantro. The falafel & eggplant sandwich (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/waterfront-deli-alameda?select=ieFhIu-0hO6n9clCFqGATQ#YNlZu9xXCRZ2anB1JjRUpw) was less successful for me. I liked the tangy marinade on the eggplant, but the falafels tasted re-heated and were dry inside and the pita was thin and breaking apart. I'll be back for the house roasted turkey sandwich that gets rave reviews and to try some more of the Korean fare, but will probably pass on the Mediterranean options. read more
