Want a great sandwich? Look no further than California Sourdough! I never miss an opportunity to grab a sandwich from here! There only open for a few hours so plan accordingly! I believe from 11am-2pm during the week! The sourdough is so fresh and taste so good! You could get any sandwich here and it would be so good! Very kind service! The employees were so kind and helpful!

Customer of 15 years here although I haven't been a regular the last few years. Highly regretful. I should've known something was amiss when there was no line out the door on a Friday at 11:30am. Really sad that the og owners retired. I really wish them the best.Apparently the new owners kept everything the same but it's rather hard to believe. I've always ordered pastrami here but the texture seems different. It's also much saltier. It'll be hard for me to go back at $15 a sandwich.I did overhear that they may open on Saturdays though. That's cool, I guess.

My new favorite Mom 'n Pop sandwich shop that I wish I had tried sooner! They have indoor and outdoor dining, plus an appreciable water dispenser. Although this place is on the smaller side and there is pretty much always a long lunch line, service is efficient and staff are very welcoming. If you're not a fan of pickles or even mustard like me, they won't judge or forget haha.FOOD REVIEW:*Spicy turkey -- gonna have to come back for this exact order because wowow I have never had such amazing sourdough bread! The perfect amount of fluff inside and a crunch on the outside that 100% will not stab your gums. I'm pretty picky about my sandwiches and tend to order the same thing every visit. Luckily for me, the components they add to every sandwich option available are right up my alley. If you visit with a friend and wanna skip the pickles or mustard, they can have it! Cashier told me herself and I thought that was super generous. I ended up going with their garlic aioli and would love to buy a whole bottle of it. PARKING:Best way to avoid a long line and parking far away is to come at breakfast time! CA Sourdough is located in a plaza with a bunch of other business which range from medical services to cosmetics boutiques. Plus, locals come here for lunch. If you're in a pinch, do consider that peak/busy hour is 12-1 pm!

The restaurant's exterior design makes it hidden in plain sight with all that beige, but thanks to a solid recommendation, it really is the inside that counts. A few colleagues and I came here only knowing that they open from 11 to 2pm. Better get in line before they close for the day!I opted for the #24 Bold Madrasala Curry Chicken, because to curry favor, favor curry. Had in my mind there was going to be hot curry chicken oozing out, but it turned out to be regular ol' deli slices of chicken. The scent of fresh baked sourdough was enticing, and the first bite of the sandwich was just incredible. Fresh bread is something to savor, so while the others were wondering whether they could finish their whole sandwich, I just went at it whole hog. Without a doubt, it was a very satisfying lunch.

What's going on with this place? Clearly an entire new staff which is fine but I think they're using inferior cold cuts. The sandwiches aren't bad, the bread is still great but the sandwiches don't taste as good as they used to Maybe I just had a bad day there, but I've already tried the new ownership twice and both times I was disappointed with the flavor of the cold cuts. I probably won't go out of my way for a sandwich from them anymore

Food: Went with the spicy turkey and salami with spicy mustard. Everything on it with a pickle on the side. The sourdough bread was soft and crunchy, meat was flavorful, and the sandwich was perfect for lunch or early dinner.Ambiance: Clean on the inside and out. Busy lunch rush so I recommend getting there a bit early to beat the rush. Friendly staff. Plenty of seating inside and some outside seating too.Parking: Plenty of plaza parking but I recommend beating the lunch rush if you can.

Great sandwich with freshly baked bread, which really takes the cake. What a blessing to be able to work near this place!Sandwiches here have a protein choice and a short list of toppings. Everything is served on their sourdough, which is being baked and served constantly during their short open hours. It gets crowded but the line moves fast. Make sure you bring cash!Service is fast and friendly.

i mean what can i possibly say to do justice to what just happened. a spectacular life changing meal? does that even do justice?cali sourdough you have earned my respect for the best sandwich i've ever had. and yes, i did say breakfast little was the best breakfast sandwich ever but this. now this was the best sandwich sandwich ever.came around 12:45 on a friday and there wasn't too bad of a line thank goodness. waited 5 minutes maximum before ordering (cash only) and waited maybe 5 minutes before being served. so wow.ordered a spicy turkey (add bacon) with everything and my goodness gracious my fellow food frjends. the best and i mean best warmest and softest sourdough i've ever laid my teeth on. the bread is perfect, the deli meat was great, condiments were awesome, wide selection of chips, what the hell else would i ever want in a sandwich? and it comes with a pickle and a bar with sauces and complimentary food items like peppers etc . just go. go10/5

What happened to this place? I've been coming here for years. It's been the best sandwich place around here until now. The bread is over baked. The pastrami is not the same. Different texture and flavor. $20+ with a bag of chips for a terrible tasting sandwich. Doesn't the originalOwners have another location? I'm definitely not coming back to his one.
