Lucinda's Deli & More

Once they're gone they're gone! Go early, or call in your order. This place is popular and rightly so. The sandwiches are unique and so flavorful and amazing. The Baja turkey was a little zingy with spice, but a delicious and unsurprising blend! There is also a coffee shop nestled in the same building, watch your head when entering, ceilings are low! If you don't have a big appetite half should be plenty but go for the whole if you need a more satisfying meal. Go with a friend and get two different sandwiches for more variety. I'm looking forward to trying more of their offerings!

Picked up a sandwich with a friend to take to Alamo square and eat for lunch! It was so good. The Baja turkey was fresh, light, and just a little spicy to add some needed heat. Space is small and the low ceiling makes me feel like I'm a giant overall really really good and I'd come back to try the beef or pastrami! When there's a line it can take up to 20-30 minutes for your sandwich to be finished. It's worth the wait.

Lucinda's is in the lunchtime sandwich rotation. An amazing tiny hole in the wall establishment right next to Alamo Square Park. The mortadela and BLTA are our favorites here. They are usually ready within 20/25 minutes which is perfect to take a quick stroll over there. The ingredients are fresh and mouth watering as I type this!My star rating:5 - must go!!! 4 - liked it, give it a try!3 - it was alright2 - I probably won't go back 1 - turnaround and run

Great sandwiches with fresh ingredients and packed full. Friendly staff, no seating but cute area and the park is next door. Good variety of sandwiches and a cute coffee shop inside too.

Expensive- but worth it. Is it the best sandwich I ever had? YESHad the roast beef sandwich ($18) with crunchy arugula, Thai BBQ sauce, fried onions, pickled red onions - and bleu cheese mayo, a mind-blowing combination of flavors.My son had the pastrami sandwich and loved it more than he loves most food- and he eats.. well you all know he eats .. a lot.Will I return?YES

I usually HATE sandwiches but Lucinda's blew my mind.I was so apprehensive after my partner suggested we head over to this random normal neighborhood street in the middle of Hayes Valley. And then I saw that it was UNDERGROUND?!? But there were so many people waiting around and eating their sandwiches sitting on the street & stairs. I really enjoy how there is also a coffee shop in the shared underground space. I was overwhelmed by all the options and settled on Soppressata because it sounded really refreshing but still hefty. Now I'm obsessed with the Roast Beef sandwich with its dank blue cheese sauce and crunchy fried onions. It's actually so criminal how sweet & yummy these sandwiches are. And they're PACKED with meat and not too bready. One sandwich is also INCREDIBLY filling for me.Prices are a little pricier than I would want to spend on a normal sammie - but this is NOT your normal sandwich. This is my GO-TO picnic meal and definitely worth supporting!

We've been to Lucinda's a couple of times now and this is a really solid spot to go for real deal deli sandwiches.We've gotten 3 sandwiches from here, and if I had to power rank the 3, I'd go with their Pastrami, Roast Beef, and Tuna. All the sandwiches are around $14-20 and it's a good price considering the size and quality of the sandwiches. They don't skimp on the meat and toppings, which is always a plus. Also, their bread is really good too, which is important for any sandwich.In terms of ordering, it's best to order online for pickup to avoid the wait. We ordered online while at a bar nearby and were able to walk right in at the time it said it was gonna be ready. I appreciate a place that creates sandwiches that don't allow for substitutions bc it makes ordering easier, especially for bigger orders. They really do put a lot of thought into each of their creations and each sandwich delivers a unique blend of flavors, with each tasting vastly different from one another.

Delicious. Took a little bit to order as the workers were busy preparing online/previous orders. The weather was nice so we didnt mind waiting the ~10 minutes for our sandwiches outsideFresh ingredients and great to take on the go to the park.

This was a PACKED sandwich. It was perfectly wrapped and the bread was so crunchy. I got the BLTA and it just tasted like a normal BLT nothing crazy. I wish I tried a different sandwich.

This pastrami sandwich is nothing short of a spiritual experience wrapped in bread. Imagine a symphony of thinly sliced pastrami serenading your taste buds, harmonized by the peppery zing of arugula and the melty, gooey hug of provel cheese. The cauliflower giardiniera adds just the right amount of tang and crunch--it's like a pickle, but with a PhD. And the Calabrian chili mayo? Spicy, creamy, and definitely the kind of condiment you'd text at 2 a.m. asking if it's still up.The tomatoes? Juicy little bursts of sunshine that somehow make you feel like a better person for eating them. And here's the kicker: you can devour this masterpiece in the park, sitting on a blanket, gazing at the Painted Ladies like you're a guest star on Full House. All while the San Francisco skyline looms in the background like it's proud of you for making this excellent life choice.If this sandwich were a person, I'd marry it. If it were a religion, I'd convert. It's not just a sandwich; it's a passport to pure bliss. 10/10, would absolutely eat again while contemplating the meaning of life--or at least how this sandwich can be so good.
