Primavera

I was craving a sandwich and wanted to support a local business so I found this shop and ordered a "Mother Earth" sandwich. It was the perfect size and filled with fresh vegetables. There was parking right out front, and the employees were nice and quick. Please stop by to support this great sandwich shop!

This now my favorite sandwich shop. Mother Earth was really good, The Hood is the bomb! I will try the LOX next.

I was craving a tuna melt and found this little place on yelp. So glad I did! It was delicious and satiated my craving. Looking forward to trying more things!

Primavera rocks!! Granted, I've only dropped by once but this definitely won't be the last time I'm here. It's a very unassuming shop across from Oakland Tech and one of the Kaiser buildings, next to a pet shop, and kind of colorful inside. Primavera is a truly mom & pop sandwich shop, offering different kinds of sandwiches, breakfast foods, and salads, along with various coffee and tea offerings, milk teas and fruit teas, and other sweet drinks. They also have a ton of candy and canned/bottled drinks available for sale (probably given their proximity to the high school).After dropping off our ballots across the street, we stopped by to grab some sandwiches. My bf got a Chicken Italiano sandwich, and I got a half turkey avocado sandwich/half Chinese chicken sandwich combo with a mango green tea with mango star jelly. Needless to say, my lunch was delicious, healthy, and filling, and my partner enjoyed his meal. Everything is so reasonably priced as well- our meals plus drink were about $22, including the tip! I'd return to try the other drinks as well and other sandwich flavors.I'll continue to drop by here when I'm in the area or in a mood for a sandwich or salad... that was TASTY. Support Primavera!!

Sandwich was delicious!! My daughter wanted to go here today and I finally took a bite of her sandwich and decided I wanted one too. Right across the street from Oakland Tech High school. Definitely will be back. Breakfast sandwiches are also yummy.

Made a quick trip to Blick today and got hungry, so decided to something new. I came here based off of the reviews and was not disappointed. My boyfriend for the chicken parm and I got the original breakfast on a croissant. Waited only 5 minutes, and the food was delicious. I will be back :) *Forgot to mention, the prices are extremely reasonable and the food quality really does the talking. I would've taken a photo of our food but it was just too good.

A decade ago, I worked at Temescal Pool and ate here almost every day between shifts. I always went because the sandwiches were delicious and super reasonably priced. Today, I was running an errand at the pet store next door and decided to check it out again for old times sake. My sandwich was delicious and tasted EXACTLY as I remember it. The price was still reasonable. And to my surprise, the owner remembered me after all these years! It really made my day. So much in Oakland has changed over the years but it was great knowing that this little gem has stayed the same.

I've been coming here since 2009 - my absolute favorite grab and go spot Selfishly bummed they are not open over the weekend but love this family owned spot dose not need the business hours - anytime I'm in the area during the work week I always stop in

Food: got the "Hood" sandwich; made a few changes they were happy to accommodate. I ate both halves, I usually eat 1/2 in 2 sittings. It was *SO* good.Service: the two people working behind the counter were super friendly, welcoming & were smiling the entire time I was there. I noticed costumers stopped to converse with them; from what I could discern, none of them were first time customers like me - they spoke like they knew about each other from many visits.Ambiance: Simple entryway, clean, tidy & unassuming yet warm/welcoming interior. There's a fruit counter, candy counter & pastry counter in addition to the hand written menu on the wall (nice, old school touch). There are wallet sized student photos posted along the back counter, makes me think the kids from Oakland Tech like this place & the people who run it, too. Will be back for sure. Don't sleep on this gem. Buy local, shop small.

Dropped by here for a quick sandwich based on the positive reviews. Workers are all very nice. I ordered a sweet iced green tea and a turkey avocado sandwich on wheat. The tea was great. Very flavorful jasmine green tea at a reasonable price. The sandwich, though fresh and tasty, was very lacking on the meat side. I was ok with it as I'm trying to eat more veggies these days. Sandwich was served with the typical mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato and pickles. The avocado was nice and ripe and the veggies were fresh. Turkey was typical packaged lunch meat, probably 2 slices for the whole sandwich. Overall, for the price paid, I was happy with it. If you're looking for a really meaty sandwich, I would look elsewhere or get one of their multi-meat sandwiches like the Father Earth or Mother Earth.
