Dolores Deluxe

Tucked into the corner of Dolores and 22nd, Dolores Deluxe is the kind of spot that has a little something for everyone. Part cozy café, part neighborhood market, it offers a laid-back, down-to-earth vibe with friendly staff who are more than happy to help with recommendations.With an extensive menu featuring everything from sandwiches to pastries, choosing just one item was tough. On their suggestion, I went with the Austin Cut breakfast sandwich--and wow, was it a winner. It's a hearty combo of a classic egg patty, Taylor ham (New Jersey's beloved pork roll), American cheese, homemade poblano queso, and crispy tortilla chips, all served hot on a Martin's potato roll.If you're a cheese lover, this sandwich is for you. The creamy, slightly spicy queso oozes into every bite, while the crispy tortilla chips add a unique crunch, giving it almost a breakfast nacho sandwich feel. Every element comes together perfectly, making for a rich, indulgent, and seriously satisfying bite.One thing to note--there's no seating, so you'll have to grab your order to go. But no worries, Dolores Park is just a short stroll away, making it the perfect spot to sit back and enjoy your meal with a view.I can't wait to go back and try more from their menu, especially the pastries. If you find yourself in the area, this place is absolutely worth the stop.

I'm resisting the urge to gatekeep this place but everyone deserves the chance to try Dolores Deluxe! The owner is super passionate and comes up with new menu items constantly. My first time here he was so sweet and gave us samples of the desserts he was making.We ordered a classic sandwich (which he mentioned were seasonal sandwiches that stick around on the menu) and a breakfast sandwich, specifically a roast beef sandwich with artichoke spinach dip and horseradish and an "Austin cut" sandwich with taylor ham and poblano queso and tortilla chips. Both were huge flavor bombs that were so creative but worked so well. I'm definitely sold by the sandwiches and am throwing this place in my regular rotation just to try the rotating specials.While here we also tried the smoothie (delicious) and the chocolate chip cookie (soooo chocolate). Dolores Deluxe is everything I could want from a neighborhood corner shop: friendly owner, great sandwiches, close to the park! They also do regular pop-ups here (a few of which I've been to) so it's an amazing place to try new foods from the community. I'm super grateful to have this place in the area!

Back here again to try the rotating menu of vegan and vegetarian sandwiches. This time I tried the Vegan Sando #18 and the Lebanese Caprese. The vegan sando # 18 with cherry pepper relish and preserved lemon tahini was a standout. It was mouth puckering and tart while being sweet and full of different textures. The Lebanese Caprese was a solid caprese sandwich but with twists of heirloom tomatoes, pickles, and delicious labne. It's a small, but mighty sandwich if you need a quick pick me up.

Wow! The dips and variety of dips are off the chart so good. You can't just choose one. There is a dip for everyone. The service was delightful and made you feel like part of the community. I am so glad that I found this place. The store is well stocked and convenient. I came in for 1 dip and left with 6.

You won't be disappointed by any sandwiches at Dolores Deluxe, made by the most generous owner, Ramzi. The flavors are unique and the menu changes weekly with new seasonal items. Don't skip out on the baked treats, luxie slushie, dips, or soups. The menu is vegan-friendly, with a delicious vegan sando always on the menu. Everything Ramzi creates is fantastic!!

For a corner store, this place is really cute and even has good deli options. When I went in, the owner Ramzi gave me a free cookie which was so good and also so nice of him! I also got a vegan sandwich which was incredible, and better than most sandwiches. Would highly recommend as a good option to get some small snacks.

This little corner store is so much more than a little corner store and quite a gem Just a few blocks away from Dolores Heights and a short walk to Dolores Park, Dolores Deluxe definitely needs to be on your short list of places to stop for your picnic, snacking and drank needs. The wine selection, the liquor selection, snacks for kids and snack for grown ups - everything is thoughtfully curated. It's so innovative. Like seriously, you can get hot Cheetos, fruit snacks, fancy cheeses from abroad, fancy biscuits, fresh produce, craft beers, fresh baked breads brought in daily, wines from abroad and locally and get this -- follow them for restaurant, pop up events, music and so much more every month! The service is extremely friendly and helpful and super knowledgeable with any questions you may have. Please stop in and experience for yourself. I do it no justice with my few words.

Seriously such a slept on spot. I'm not vegan. But I can't resist getting the vegan sando each time because they change it almost every week with new seasonal and unique ingredients. Really nice people work there and the service is great.

This spot continues to be a shining star in the city. It is far more than just a little food mart. The sandwich menu is delicious. The pop ups with interesting food vendors throughout the Bay Area are creative and build community. the owner is committed to building community and making this a special place. Wishing Dolores Deluxe great success for a long time to come, please don't ever leave us!
