Delicious hot and cold sourdough sandwiches and other offerings such as salads and cookies. We got to meet the store owner and he greeted all the customers with such enthusiasm and kindness. This location is very nice with plenty of seatings and free parking. Fast service and food came out very fast. This will be one of our go to spots.

Huge fan of Crust! Two of us ordered: Signature Item PA × 2 $27.98 ($13.99 ea.) Add AVO PA $1.75 Premium Drink $3.49 CHIPS $2.69 Regular Drink $2.49 Staff was friendly. Seating inside and outside. Mat portions were definitely lacking (from my memory from previous Crust locations)...so definitely a bit more bread-y than what I had hoped for. Parking easy to find in the plaza, but need to walk a few steps to get to the actual store front.

The sandwiches were very good. The bread is excellent. I would skip the drinks and chips. The sandwich itself is expensive. This location was hard to find and odd location. It's next to a business building. Love the unlimited pickles.

Fresh and Flavorful at CRUST Sourdough Deli – Palo Alto Square Stopped by CRUST Sourdough Deli and ordered the Cobb Salad, and it was absolutely delightful! The ingredients were fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced—crisp greens, juicy tomatoes, creamy avocado, tender grilled chicken, crispy bacon, and a generous sprinkle of blue cheese. Every bite was packed with flavor and texture, making it one of the best Cobb salads I’ve had in a while. The portion size was generous, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out—simple, fresh, and satisfying. The cozy, casual vibe of the deli also adds to its charm, making it a great spot for a quick, delicious lunch. If you’re in the area and craving something fresh and flavorful, I highly recommend giving their Cobb Salad a try. I’ll defin

I've been here twice now, first when they opened and again today and I have to say they are very consistent. I'd really like to give them a 4.5 and what lowers it a bit for me is the lack of bread selection. I understand that it's a sourdough deli but it would be nice to have some variations of sourdough such as an olive sourdough, etc. For the sandwiches themselves, I liked the portion size and the filling amounts match as well and have some good weight so I think they're worth the price. The veggies and cheese are all great as well and really fresh. I came back for the meatball since they're made in house so I had to come back and try them and they were worth it, great texture and size. They have 3 cookies and the quality of the cookie was really good too, not too buttery but great flav
