The Sourdough bread is so fresh and Delicious every time I have been there, give the sandwiches an extra boot of flavor. The variety of choices and the sandwiches have lots of content based on the choices done. I recommend the sandwiches and other items on the menu to those that like variety and fresh deli choices
Time: 2:37pm/52°F clear
What: North Beach Deli second location is set to be open on MLK Day. Aside from this location, they also have the original location on Jackson st.
Where: NBD is located on the ground level of City Center 12th St Bart station promonade. The shop is nestle between Radio Shack and La Salsa replacing the former Fresh Fuel spot.
Why: Because its not just a sandwich shop out of the blues. These are experienced sandwich makers at work that knows how a sandwich suppose to be and whats expected.
What to get: North Beach Turkey and Godfather.
What to expect: Depending when you go, the place could be packed with lunchtime office workers. What you'll see is a no frills sandwich shop with friendly smiling workers eagerly waiting for your order. Since its their first day there wasn't anything out of the ordinary as far as sanitation goes. The place is strictly to-go, but theres one table tucked in corner for two people. Sando are packed solid with three choice of bread: whole wheat, sourdough, or french. Basically you can go with one of their listed sando or a DIY including making sando a wrap version. My sandwicheez was really good. Thick slices of mozzarella and deli thin slices of turkey stands out. The bread never ever tasted dry or brittle as pesto were evenly spread on top and bottom of roll. Turkey slices tasted a bit too salty and briny. To wash it down, they gave me a large drink of choice on the house. Who doesn't want freebies right lol?
Punchlines: New, friendly staff, efficient, experienced, limited seating, public transportation hub, self-service soda fountain, under $10 sando (including signature series), drool-worthy, happening, no combo deals, no gluten free options, low carb available.
Final Thoughts: Well, it's like this. I've had better, but for the area and its surrounding this will do. Sando is worthy of its weight and size, but meat seems to be the issue. It's not the baked in-house version, its processed soaked in liquid sodium to prevent drying out. Again, its a notch or two better than Subway, but falls within that category as well.
What I like the best about the North Beach Deli is how keto-aware this place is. The menu proudly presents a good number of keto options, including any of the regular offerings served in a lower-carb wrap.
It's clean, bright, and near to all the downtown Oakland businesses and Frank Ogawa Plaza.
That it's in a food court filled with high-carb foods makes lunchtime down here all the more pleasant.
