Crust - Fresh Sourdough Deli

First review of the year is for Crust Sourdough. The location is convenient for pickup or dine in for weekday lunch and the service is great.I got the usual Chioptle chicken and asked for spicy which is really more flavor than just spice. The bread and all ingredients used were fresh as always.

Crust catered lunch for a small gathering I hosted at work, and it was a hit. Online ordering was easy, and the sandwiches were delivered timely. The only problem we had was a special instruction included for one sandwich got missed. I would still recommend them because the sandwiches are great.

I'm a fan of this sandwich shop. First off, the location is odd; located in this abandoned-looking building with empty business shops, a tech office and a FedEx. I can see a lot of tech people coming in for lunch and ordering large party trays for catering. I ordered their pastrami hot sandwich which came in their special sourdough roll. The sandwich itself is delicious in every way but nothing special. They have a good amount of sandwiches to choose from with some popular items like the chicken pesto, spicy turkey, pastrami and French dip. Just like every other sandwich shop, you have a choice of either purchasing a bag of chips or a cookie with your meal. You're limited to what you can have here which isn't a bad thing but I wish there were more choices for bread, spreads, sides dishes, etc. The sandwich itself isn't that big in size either so I could see people still getting really hungry after. I think if you're craving a sandwich and want some peace to get away from the busy work life, this is a good choice. The meats are from Boar's Head brand which got a bad rap in 2024 but also it's found in your local Safeway deli section which isn't anything special. I won't be coming back but I think it's definitely worth coming to if you're looking for a solid sandwich other than Subway.

We go here every month or so to this casual spot to get the hot pastrami here. It is by far our favorite pastrami place. The pastrami meat is not too dry or salty like other pastramis we've had. It's a pretty pricey pastrami but the portion is quite huge. And the bread is so fresh and crispy. Really lives up to the name of this restaurant. I also love the pickles that it comes with and if you eat in you can get more from the jar. It's also nice that the staff are friendly here too.

Crust is always a super reliable place to go for lunch. They have online ordering which makes it easy to take a lunchtime walk, swing by and pick up your sandwich to eat.They're always exceptionally friendly, on time and the food is well prepared. We've also eaten on premises and it's tidy with enough seating indoors/outdoors for a group of 8-10. I recently had a VERY last minute catering request and they were able to support that and were super friendly throughout the process. Totally recommend :)

This place is pretty delicious, if you can find it haha.This particular location of CRUST is kind of tucked away in the bottom floor of a group of nondescript office buildings. It's definitely not something you notice right away from the street. Me and some coworkers nearly drove right by.All that aside, the sandwiches here were very much worth the drive and effort to find. I will say though... the chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie was the star of the show. It was so soft and delicious. Make sure to pick one up if you stop by. You'll be glad you did.

Wow. Boom! I had the Pastrami sandwich and it was absolutely delicious and amazingly filling. I could only eat 1.2... rare occurrence for me.Tasty sandwich, filling so very satisfied and just plain deliious.

Amazing bread loaded up with piled-high sandwiches. Its in Palo Alto so it's overpriced, but this is one of those cases where you actually get what you pay for (exceptional quality). Took my high schooler for lunch one day while we were in town, and he still talks about Crust. Anything that gets a reaction from a teenage boy is worth remembering. Get after it!

Great, luscious Turkey Sandwich on amazing sourdough roll/Demi baguette (incredible texture and good flavor, not overly sour). The turkey is also delicious (whut)--perfectly soft, but also meaty and with ideal amount of salt. Super fresh! Incredible texture (again). Levels above what most delis and deli meat provide around here. Just wish the amount was a bit more, but can probably request more and pay the added cost. A bit pricey, but definitely worth it, and it's Palo Alto, so price is expected. 18-yr old son even commented how good it was, and he's not a huge cold sandwich fan because they're "cold" and he's not often satisfied with the bread or the meat quality. So, this is saying something big about the Crust sandwich. Parking is very easy--plentiful, spacious, and not too far of a walk from the store. Probably a 2-3 min walk, very safe and open. There's also a large and very pleasant outdoor area to eat (choose from lawn, nice and modern picnic tables, regular tables, or outdoor couch and table type thing) if inside is not preferred. Lots of sun, but also shade.The employees are always helpful and pleasant, and online order and pickup is quick and easy. I think they close at 3 pm, so last online order might be 2 pm?? Also, they have a big pickle jar that is self-serve. Included in price!Highly recommend!We've probably eaten 7 of these sandwiches over the past half year. I always forget about the place until driving on El Camino from one end of PA to the other! Just started ordering online pickup so there's no wait time.

I've been here twice. The bread is the best part. Fresh, crunchy outside and soft on the inside. You can ask for just plain mayo if you don't want their spread. It's a nice place and there is a modern courtyard outside to enjoy your meal. It's at the center ground level of several office buildings and seems to be a favorite of the people who work around here.
