The Sentinel

What a find! I was looking for a breakfast sandwich and noticed their cool black board before I saw their store's sign. The wood covering most of the infront facing service area also makes it hard to notice this placeI got a breakfast sandwich the ham, soft egg, and the pesto really blended flavors well together. There's no where to sit of course, and parking is tough to find. Seems like a place for the busy people who work in the area. would recommend this place for anyone in the area

Finally managed to catch them while they're open!Came here in the morning, and I must have come too early because the lunch menu wasn't being served yet. Instead got a barbecue beef sandwich with eggs and onions, which turned out to be saucy shredded beef + fried egg + onion on focaccia. Sounds odd but it actually worked quite well, although may be better suited as a lunch meal since it's pretty heavy. The focaccia bread works well with balancing out the saucy beef.They seem to do good business with a steady stream of people grabbing food here. Curious to try one of their muffins next time.

The warm, fresh-baked, generously sized muffins at The Sentinel (almost) make me look forward to my in-office days. Those sweet delights are a small and highly valued reward that I promise to myself to make up for the pain of the commute. The Sentinel's a tiny, easy-to-miss, grab-and-go storefront with fast, friendly and efficient staff. I've only ever had their muffins, but, after the first one, have kept going back for more. If those baked goods are any indication of what the rest of the sandwich-centric menu tastes like, don't hesitate, just go.

Newly returning to the office and no longer familiar with what's in the area to grab lunch--I was recommended that tiny sandwich spotnear my office. Literally looks like a little hole in the wall. Look for the House of Shields sign above it. I've walked past this place from across the street and never really noticed it. The was a short wait on my visit, but the line goes fast. If you want to avoid a wait, go early. It was a short and simple sandwich menu that's posted on the wall. I ordered the barbecue beef short rib sandwich with caramelized onions and it was packed with a generous amount of meat and served with pickles on the side. The sandwich was juicy so it was a little messy eating. It's a great sandwich & if you work in the area, worth checking out.

Amazing sandwiches with fantastic service! Used to be one of my favorites when I worked at the old Yelp HQ on New Montgomery street They also do a wicked good breakfast with streusel coffee cake

I thought I'd stop and get a fried chicken sandwich but when I saw the lamb and eggplant sandwich listed first on the menu, my mind was changed. It was delicious and hefty. Also enjoyed the pickles and the Andes mint was a nice touch.

The Deviled Egg sandwich is amazing, I go for easy mayo.The mint is a nice touch along with the fresh pickles!

okay my potential against the grain take is that the sandwich is just fine. Ambience wise, LOVE! it's a super cute hole in the wall spot that we went to as I've been going to office in the area. The turn around time is super fast and I love that they have a deal for getting a free sandwich if you buy more than 5! The sandwiches come wrapped and served on focaccia style yeasted bread. I got the Vietnamese pork which was just fine, I think the pork could have been seasoned better. Maybe I got the wrong thing? I think my personal biggest issue with the sandwich is that the bread isn't toasted or not coated in a slab of butter when toasted which causes there to be a lack of distinct textures / flavors situation. the bun kind of melts into everything which doesn't have that distinct of flavors to begin with. I love that they have pickles on the side which is also super fun

Writing this as their coffee cake melts in my mouth. Wow I almost walked past this place without even noticing it. Located across the Palace hotel in SF this tiny spot has some of the best muffins & coffee cakes. I want to come back to try more! Their muffins are HUGE and freshly made. And the chunk of coffee cake they give you is massive. The food is great. Prices are reasonable. There's nowhere to sit it's more of a stand, but I ate as I walked. Staff is super friendly. Quick service. There was no line when I went. Great spot to grab & go. Will definitely be back!

A terrific sandwich stand with good value and excellent quality. But if you blink you might miss it!
