Andersen Bakery

Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting Anderson Bakery in Union City, California, and I must say, my experience was delightful. Opting for their combo deal, I chose the tomato soup with a half sandwich. The soup was a revelation - rich, hearty, and perfectly seasoned, offering a comforting embrace with every spoonful. It paired beautifully with the sandwich, which was a culinary masterpiece in its own right. The sandwich, featuring grilled chicken and sautéed mushrooms, was a harmony of flavors. The chicken was cooked to perfection, juicy and tender, while the mushrooms added a wonderful earthiness that complemented the meat beautifully. The bread, presumably baked in-house, was fresh, soft on the inside with a slight crunch on the outside, making it the perfect vessel for the delicious fillings. Overall, the meal was a testament to the quality and care that Anderson Bakery puts into their food. It's not just a meal, it's an experience - one that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a satisfying lunch in Union City. Anderson Bakery has certainly earned a repeat customer in me!

Everything used to be a lot better at Andersen Bakery. I feel like most things went up in price, portions are smaller and the quality of the ingredients is not what it used to be. Don’t get me wrong, food It’s still good. The service could really improve, as far as how long it takes to get your food. Only one person in the kitchen isn’t enough when lots of people are coming in to eat breakfast. This morning they were also out of our favorite drink, Sobe Tea and that was a bummer. We recommend the Spicy Turkey Pepper Jack on Ciabatta bread and pair it up with the Tomato Ravioli Soup, our favorite. Plenty of parking

Still amazing food and price, 20 years later! Half sandwich and soup combo is the best deal for around $12. You can't beat it! Turkey, avocado, and Swiss on sliced sourdough wheat, with a cup of clam chowder (I added hot sauce to soup). I'm over 6 feet tall with a healthy appetite, this the perfect amount of food for lunch where I dont feel like I want to sleep afterwards like most other restaurants or fast food. Their food is restaurant quality at fast food prices. The "half sandwich" is the size of a "whole sandwich" at other businesses. I worked for Anderson bakery over 20 years ago, back when it was called Gain D'or, and the food is still just as great as when it was when I worked there.

Such an amazing place to stop by for a quick meal and dessert! Everything is so delicious! My mom is very picky and she loved their turkey sandwich plus their desserts! Employees are kind and sweet. Such a great place!

This is how my salad looked I ordered a southwest salad and turkey Avocado Swiss . Which also looked worst . Tomatoes were old in there. When we called a lady at location wanted me to comeback with credit card all the way from half an hour drive on my way to valley. Then I called corporate office they were also same. Save your buck and don't go to that location. No customer service. I used to go there all the time never had this kind of experience and this is the first time I complained and no service at all.

Andersen Bakery in Union City is a haven for fans of fresh, artisanal baked goods. Their selection is impressive, boasting a variety of breads that are consistently fresh, flavorful, and baked to perfection. Their sourdough bread, in particular, is noteworthy with its wonderfully crisp edges and tangy, soft interior. I savored their Turkey Avocado sandwich, where the thin slices of avocado, fresh tomato, and lettuce were beautifully complemented by the sourdough’s texture and flavor. The attention to detail is evident in every bite, making it a truly satisfying meal. From loaves to sandwiches, Andersen Bakery provides a memorable experience for all who appreciate the craft of baking. It’s a must-visit destination in Union City for anyone seeking top-tier baked goods.

I ordered a half sandwich and a soup. Only a few people inside and around 1:30 I waited for about 25 minutes. If you are on your lunch break you'd have to order ahead The Tomatoe Tortellini soup was a deception it reminded me of a soup you would be forced to eat in a hospital cafeteria. The Hot tuna melt sandwich was very good. Here's my motto: if you can't make an awesome or exceptional product then don't offer and don't make it.

Pick your bread and food offerings ! We dine in once in a while but the pastries are what makes come back. LOL ! Hot and cold food offerings are also fresh. The raisin bread what we get everytime we stop by :)

When I bought the English bread last week I was so happy to see the the new version. It is 3 centimetres taller than the old version. 3 days later the bread stalled prematurely because the crew at Andersen, instead of using a "real" plastic bag, she use a hard transparent plastic bag (the type that use to wrap candies). The bag was NEVER able to be fully closed. That's OK, I have a toaster for any stall bread. It was then I realized the bread is TOO ELONGATED for the toaster. It would be nice if they could make it wider instead.actually the English bread at home is wider than the Andersen version. I think I'll just go back to the square pain de mie / Pullman bread

Tried the Spicy Turkey Italian sandwich...salami, pastrami and turkey slices with jalapeño mayo...SPICY! Generous meat to bread ratio...will skip the Peperoncino peppers and switch out the jalapeño mayo for the pesto mayo next time...good but spicy!

They bake their own bread every morning. I love their sandwiches. Some are made to order some are already made by 11 am . You can just grap and go if you have a short lunch or other errands to run . It has a wide selection of salads, drunks , soups , cakes and dessert. Indoor tables to sit and enjoy your meals . Service is good and efficient. This is one of my favorite bakeries. I love the Pan de champagne bread . I ordered the whole thing, ask then to slide it and then put in two separate bag . Price is under $7 . What a deal !

We love Andersen! The pastries taste great and service is quick. They have a sit down space, which doesn't have a "vibe" as such, but if you want good food this is a good place to be. I've tried a variety of tarts, pastries, breads and croissants and it never disappoints!

The family and I were craving for something small. We ordered clam chowder, pepperoni focaccia slice, and a BBQ chicken sandwich. BBQ Chicken sandwich ( 4 stars) Clam Chowder ( 5 stars) Pepperoni focaccia (4 stars) We noticed that the prices have gone up quite a bit. Overall, as a family we've decided to come back and try their other items. It's been a while since we've visited an Andersen Bakery.

I had not been inside an Andersen Bakery for many, many years. So, it seemed like time enough to try them again. We got a lemon tart (with nice presentation) , an almond croissant, and a couple of cookies, chocolate chip and strawberry shortcake. The lemon tart filling of lemon curd was wonderful, but the ratio of filling to crust was off; it needed more filling. And while the crust tasted fine, it was hard as a rock, cutting through it was amazingly difficult. The almond croissant was a big disappointment; although the pastry tasted good, there was a pitiful amount of almond paste filling. According to my daughter, the chocolate chip cookie was good. I really enjoyed the strawberry shortcake cookie; it was unlike anything I had had before, and I usually do not like thick cookies. I would definitely return for those cookies.

They have the best Turker pepperjack sandwich. And there's pastries are delightful. And the new japanese pastries are delicious.

I love this bakery!!! My 2nd time visiting this bakery and everything we had was so good! Bread was cheesy and had good crisps. The Italian sandwich was a must try! Service was great, place is casual and great place to stop by if your craving for carbs lol :)

This was my first time at Andersen bakery. The service was great and quick since we got our sandwiches in less than 10 mins. The sandwiches were 10/10, from crispy fresh bread to fresh ingredients, you can tell from one bite. Same goes for the pastries, the eclairs were crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. you can definitely sit inside and eat or take out. The baker does look run down and not taken care of since they are using pieces of card board boxes to cover trash cans.

This past Sunday was the celebration party of my wife's birthday. I was told Andersen Bakery is a good spot to grab a couple of their small cakes so that there was a variety of flavors for people to choose from. I was the first customer there at 8AM so that I can grab the stuff & go about my day. There was a rush of people just like me looking to purchase baked goodies right when they opened. The reason for my two-star review is the for two main reasons: 1) They weren't prepared to open & serve. Lots of holes in the cake section, low inventory of baked snacks behind the main glass near the register and the coffee wasn't brewed and ready to go. They had no chocolate cakes and the cakes they did have looked like they've been sitting for a day or two. There was no baking going on in the back, which is what you'd expect from a bakery. Actually, you'd expect them to be there hours earlier getting prepped but that didn't seem like the case. I asked for a large coffee and the cashier had to go fiddle somewhere to grab a case of coffee that didn't taste fresh. How can you not have fresh, black coffee ready to go first thing in the morning at a bakery? 2) The pricing has really gone up. $26-$35 for a basic, small cake is expensive. There was nothing special about these cakes either; just your run-of-the-mill vanilla cakes with 4 strawberries on top. You'd think for high pricing you'd get better service & products but that's not the case here. I probably won't be back to this bakery in the future. Between the lack of selection, high pricing and mediocre tasting food & drinks, there are plenty of other bakeries that are operating at a higher level and deserving of my cash.

All I can say is they better step up their game if they want to retain their market share. Breakfast Bagel 2/5. Service 1/5. Very slow they have plenty of staff, most of the just chatting or talking about how someone didn't oreder enough supplies. Hope they step it up.

Good quality baked goods reminiscent of my children's childhood when we ate at the former Valley Fair location. Great service with a smile! Ordered 3 pesto breads, bacon cheese roll and melon bread. Enjoyed one of the pesto breads toasted at the cafe. Yum!

What a pleasant surprise! Corporate bakery still has its shine! Despite its size of operation (9 locations within the Bay Area), their pastries and bread are anything but cookie cutter. The delicious danishes, cheese breads and artisan loaves taste as good as they look and sound. From chocolate croissants to more avant-garde concoctions like pistachio or mango coconut pastries and ube brioche, you'll find something to try and love. Their classic baked goods are executed well - eclairs, croissants, scones, and brioches. Their experimental and seasonal flavors are divine. Desserts (cakes, pies, custards) are very tempting as well. This pristine location is easily accessible since it's right off the highway and has plenty of parking in its private lot. Sandwiched between big lot stores like Walmart and Lowe's in addition to the theater and other eateries close by, Andersen Bakery is a prime location to grab your breakfast or lunch or loaves to go with your dinner. Should you decide to dine in, there are plenty of tables and chairs. Serving coffee and teas alongside their pastries and sandwiches, you could stay here all day! There is complimentary wifi so you could also get some work in while you're dining about town. I was satisfied with the service of the staff as well. They were quick, patient and accurate with their order fulfillment. Overall, Andersen Bakery has always been a favorite of mine and through the years, they have continued to uphold their quality and service. This location in particular is convenient for many for a quick pick up or place to camp for a few hours. I like it and look forward to trying more of their goodies!

New fav spot. make me want to buy everything. I ordered tiramisu and cheese Danish, and boy, it hit the spot.

I tell people they can't go wrong coming to Andersen for no-frills meals any time of the day. Their bfast combo is more than affordable for what they give you. I brought a client here for lunch last week & even though he lives nearby he has not been here before so he was happy to have found andersen. He had the chicken sandwich & a hot cup of coffee that he thought was the best sandwich he has had that week.

Its BLT sandwich is really good and its staff are really friendly, especially the one in the Oakridge Mall. Easy to find table, too. :)

I ordered a roast beef sandwich. I knew something was off when I picked it up. I bit down and tastee nothing but lettuce and mustard. Opened the sandwich to find I received a SINGLE slice of thin deli beef on my sandwich. ONE. Yes, I ordered the 1/2 Sandwich, 1/2 salad, but expected a half sandwich (1 full slice of bread cut in half), with decent proportion of meat to lettuce/filling. Instead, I got two full slices of bread, a single slice of meat, and a sandwich full of lettuce (whole sandwhich look, with what I'd argue was even less meat than you expect in a half sized sandwich). I was told by the employee that this was expected because it's "half portion." Stick to traditional half sandwiches vs trying to pull this off. It's ridiculous. Wish I had taken a pic.

I purchased a whole strawberry cream cake for a birthday gathering and it was delicious. While the selection of cakes is limited, you can't go wrong with the strawberry cream cake.

Service was horrible !! I waited over ten minutes and had to ask for my bread. I received an apology from the manager but I went during a slow time and they had multiple staff there.

I've always seen this place but never been before. Came around noon and it was pretty empty, 3 worked and 2 people eating My review is based on a Too Good To Go pickup not an actual in store purchase. The Too Good To Go process were pretty simple, there is tons of parking. Just park, go inside and swipe your pickup and show them your screen and they give you your order. Took about 1 minute after a few moments of awkwardly just standing there go get the order as the order was ready to go. There was no hellos when entered so it was a bit awkward. The Too Good To Go order was $5.99 and I got a half a loaf of sliced white bread that was nice and soft, a apple pastry, a strawberry pastry and a roll filled with cheese and pesto (which for that price was a good deal compared to the prices that they are normally) I can't wait to come back and actually try some things, they have so many items to consider!

This place is gone downhill. It is poorly run and I regret ordering through Grubhub for the order was that was not even complete Last time I was there in the store and I saw really irritated customers that was doing pick up to take their food home and it was missing things I ordered a BLT sandwich, salad and desserts for a friend that was coming to join me for a nice lunch and there was no sandwich because the note show the worker forgot to put it in the bag I should've read the complaints on Grubhub where it shows people were missing items for their delivery The bread that came with the salad was stale. To top it off a bite into the salad spinach leaf made me gag as there was a giant hair, and the spinach leaf was wilted I will save my money for a reputable place. I'm really surprised this place is still in business.

This is a great place to stop, get a drink and snack and sit for a bit to recharge your energy! There are great selection of baked goods!!! They offer a wide international tastes incorporated into the baked goods!! I got to give a shout out to the employee woking the front counter by herself, she was preparing drink, retrieving the baked goods, taking orders, cleaning tables, and preparing the orders to go and for in house!!! I like their pastries!!! I will be back to order again. This was a quick stop to up my blood sugar level.

My boyfriend needed to get a cake for his uncle's birthday. The bakery was on the way to his parents and we stopped by. Neither of us have been to the bakery. He picked the raspberry cheesecake. Wow, I'm not a fan of raspberry, but this in the cheesecake took it to another level. It was quite delicious and not too sweet. Everyone enjoyed! I will definitely be thinking of Andersen if I need a cake!

My family and I loved their white bread, it has a great pull, soft texture and now it taste like store bought bread at a premium price. And their brioche loaf iis not the same. Very Disappointed!

They sent me hate mail because I left a review on their lack of professionalism and then lied saying that they greeted me, and that I need to "grow up". Clown again cry/lie again but in the backroom this time if you're going to send me messages and then block me lmao. "Billy L."

Came here this past weekend and was mind blown on what occurred. Service was pretty standard, nothing to complain about. I order only three things: - French custard roll (sliced) - Spinach and Mushroom empanada - Jalapeno & cheese with polish bun 2 of 3 were good. They're my go-to but let me tell you something about this empanada. They asked if I wanted to warm it up and I said sure. But when eating, it was warm on the outside but cold inside? How? When it's been behind the glass pane? Unless they just took it out of a fridge recently. However, it was not only that, but the flavor was also bland. And this wasn't even the worst of it. As I was nearing the last 3 bites of the empanada, I felt like I bit into something hard. Even if it was the crust, it shouldn't of have been THAT hard and when I looked into it, it was A PIECE OF WOOD!!! Please see pictures attached. I could not even make this up. So many questions. If that was even a part of the spinach and mushroom mix, what is a piece of freaking wood doing in there?! Essence?! Aroma?! I can't believe it. Whoever is doing the QC in this place sucks and needs to be checked. Make sure you look into your food before you take a bite guys and if otherwise, avoid this place like a bland empanada

Love the Saffron roll, raisin scone and berry danish. Also had a delicious chicken salad sandwich on raisin bread... Always fresh and never too sweet. Just right

Overall outstanding service , a lot of young adults in the store and are relatively fast . Do notice the amount of bad reviews and overall don't think anything of it , never had an issue , there sandwhiches are amazing and at an affordable price , everything else can seem a tad bit expensive but you are getting what you pay for , great pastries ! To the lady Monique who left a bad comment , you simply give off energy that your life ain't all there and you choose to pass it onto others for no reason . If your taking about the gentleman in the front , I can say he's great at his job , the time I went it was just him by himself , however he always made sure everyone was greated with a smile and a "Welcome in" and were assisted when needed .

I really like the bakery , been there twice so far with my Sisters for lunch. They have lunch specials you can pick 2 so I got the Tomato Raviolini soup and half a Tuna sandwich and it is delicious. Also tried the cheese danish and scones , so good! I noticed they stay busy in the afternoons. They are very friendly and it is a welcoming atmosphere. We'll be back so hope you give it a try!

Andersen Bakery (formerly known as Grain D'or IYKYK) was my go to since high school days. Their farmer's chicken salad was always so good with pieces of apple in it, and the sliced almonds and sprouts that they layered on top. It's still my go to when I go. So I was really disappointed in this last visit. Some days I order the sandwich with a cup of soup, usually the clam chowder. On this one particular visit, when I opened the chowder soup container, it didn't smell like it normally did, and in fact smelled like it might be spoiled. I tried a small bite to confirm if indeed it might be bad. It still didn't taste like it normally did. My daughter wanted to try it but agreed it smelled funny. When I took it back to the counter, the male employee opened it and smelled it. Then he said, "Let me ask in the back because they would know." He also mentioned that the brand of clam chowder they used recently changed. So he emerges back from the kitchen after passing around my chowder with a few different employees and says, "They all said it's fine. Do you want it back?" Hmmm.... common sense and customer service tells me he should have offered me either another soup or a partial refund on the soup, not the soup I thought might be spoiled and had just been passed around and held up to the noses of a bunch of a people! I have noticed the quality of Andersen's has gone down in recent years, maybe related to the ownership change, but most of the bakery items in the case are still pretty good. Just really disappointed to have experienced unsatisfactory customer service. 'll just stick to my chicken salad sandwich and hope that they maintain it's quality.

Ordered from the Too Good To Go app. And picked up 1 of each of their mango items (love mangoes). TGTG had apple raisin loaf bread, chocolate croissant, cheese bread & chicken empanada. Ordered 2 & they had exactly the same items. - apple raisin bread - I surprisingly was actually able to taste the apple considering apples do not have a strong flavor profile. Pretty moist as well. Made French toast with it - chocolate croissant - very chocolaty just wish there was a lot more filling. Warmed up in a toaster oven, the croissant had a very light crunch & did not crumble all over the place - cheese bread - sprinkled w/ fresh garlic then toasted, had a light crunch. Cheesy garlic bread & went really well w/ clam chowder. - chicken & beef empanadas - don't remember w/c one had the chorizo flavor. Nonetheles, both meat were very moist & flavorful. Don't know if it was just me but the crust was a bit chewy Mango - mango sliced roll - very good mango flavor cake & frosting however the cake was a bit soggy for me - mango tart - really fresh mangoes & very generous amount as well. The crust was slightly sweetened & had a solid consistency. Whatever cream or custard that was in it just complimented the over-all flavor - mango mousse - great intense mango flavor. Wished it was less gelatinous & more creamy - mango coconut pastry - can't tell you bec one of my brothers ate it w/o sharing - mango croissant - OMG !!! To die for ! Mango cream is not overly sweet, great consistency & very generous amount of it, in conjunction w/ the fresh mango, HEAVENLY I've been going to different locations sporadically but the mango croissant has gotten me going back once a week. The staff were attentive & friendly @ the time I was picking up. I usually go to the Stoneridge location, not anymore. Union City is a whole lot closer to me.

I love the fresh food and fun bakery options. They even have empanadas. We ordered the iced matcha late with coffee jelly cubes. Very good. Sandwiches are always good. They have a good variety of salad bowels. Cakes for special events.

I'd been ordering pastries sandwiches salads for the last 20 years - I've never been disappointed and the service is great too

I wanted to share my store experience at the Union City (whipple/dyer) location on Friday 7/5/24. My mom had an appointment at Kaiser nearby and we had an hour to kill, so instead of going to the nearest Starbucks, my obvious choice was Andersen Bakery nearby. The service is ALWAYS amazing and everyone is always so nice. I did not know that I was going to have the worst service ever that day. I was absolutely shocked by the way my mother and I were treated. I went around 10am, the store was not full at all. I ordered a chicken avocado sandwich + an everything bagel w/ cream cheese. After about 10 minutes, I received the sandwich, but not the bagel. I notified one of the female employees and she immediately grabbed a plain bagel, I corrected her and let her know it was an everything bagel. She handed it to the back kitchen to warm it up. About 5 minutes later, I got up again to check if the bagel was ready. I see the kitchen just now cutting it in half. I waited another 5 minutes and asked the guy (who had initially helped me) and said it's been about 20 minutes that we are waiting for one bagel and cream cheese, can you please check on it? He says: "The toaster is broken. they're figuring out how to fix it. Stop being so impatient". I responded with well we had no idea the toaster was broken otherwise we would have ordered something else. 2 minutes later, he gives the half toasted bagel, with NO cream cheese, no knife. I said could you please give cream cheese and a knife? He says in a very defensive, angry tone: "i don't know why you're yelling at us. The toaster was broken it's not our fault." then he grabs the knife and throws it onto the plate. He began murmuring things under his tone. Watching my mother eat this bagel after she just had a long doctor appointment was so difficult, especially since the guy kept looking at us and he had the most angry face. He made us feel incredibly uncomfortable. This all could have been avoided if he had just said "I apologize for the wait" or "I'm sorry, our toaster was broken but we will fix it for you" with a smile. Instead, he turned hostile and angry real quick. I'm not expecting a refund or anything, I couldn't care less about the $$$. However employees like this will bring your reputation down and turn service away from loyal customers. It's just not right to treat people this way over a bagel lol

Friendly atmosphere good food went with 10,ladies, stayed until finished not hurried I had a salad it was good. I'd go back especially with a group

I could not be more upset at a bakery. Service- poor, my friend and I went in and bought one creamy French each and the cashier saw us and proceeded to talk to his coworker for another 2 minutes before helping us out. His attitude was fine that's not the issue. Food- so I ordered a creamy French and had the first two bites in my car and it went great! I came home to finish the rest of my creamy French and there was no cream in the rest of the baguette. How is it possible that you only smeared cream on 1/4 of this creamy baguette?? And stop???? I'm so mad that I paid basically $4 for a piece of bread with literally no cream in it. The bread alone isn't even tasty. It's rock hard and there's hardly any bread left. I'm extremely disappointed. As a long time customer (going to other chains) I love Andersen but this is it. The prices do not reflect the food quality anymore and beyond furious.

Clean and fast service. Line moves quickly and has good vegetarian options. Fresh baked goods daily and delicious drinks

The food was so good especially the BBQ chicken with bacon. The service was amazing the workers were very friendly plus the food came out really fast and was hot.

Excellent bakery items and sandwiches. It's always fresh and delicious. Irma is always smiling and is so welcoming

Pastries and bread are consistently good! Minus one star for the restrooms having an "Out of Order" sign for the last two weeks. I noticed a week ago that an employee allowed an older woman to use it upon request. Today, a man asked if he could use it and was rejected. Tsk, tsk. Another minus star for not having any napkins available for the customers. You'll have to ask an employee to grab you some but that's been a challenge because they are busy helping people in line. Today, I had to ask an employee and she looked annoyed with having to help out. Which leads me to the 3rd star deduction, everyone that I've seen working here in the past two weekends have been very unhappy looking and none would even crack a smile. Normally, this would not be such a big deal, but most people go to your business in the morning and you're their first interaction of the day. Just a bit of cheerfulness goes a long way.

Order a turkey avocado and Swiss but sub cheddar for the Swiss. My sandwich came on white bread when it's supposed to be on sourdough and I'm allergic to mayo and there was mayo on a sandwich that is supposed to have mustard only. And now they are closed. A classic sandwich and can't even be made right. Thanks a lot.

Pretty much a bakery chain like Panera. I like Panera's sandwich combos better (w/soup/salad) , but I like the bread and pastries here more. I actually rarely eat in here (maybe once), but I'll often drop in and pick up a baguette along with some pastries for the house. The baked goods here are better than anything I can get at any grocery store. Fruit Danishes ($3.50/5*) I love these here. Textbook Danish dough, puffy and soft. It is the perfect size and the fruit, which ever you pick, always add a nice tart contrast to the slightly sweet pastry. Cheese Danish ($4/4*) These are larger than the fruit ones, and I don't know why that is. I'll split these at home with a knife. The soft baked cream cheese is nice, but for some reason, I'm always yearning for a fruit contrast. Oatmeal Cookie ($2.75/4*) Larger and flatter in style. It looked too dark for me as I thought it was over baked. But nope, no burnt flavor. Nice buttery flavor and the chewy oatmeal comes through. I prefer a little crispness on the bottom, but this is still repeat worthy. Baguette: ($2.95/4*) Not my favorite as I like Seven Hills' version a tad more, more pronounced crust/flavor. But this one isn't bad at all, and for most applications, this is very serviceable. This is closer to me, so I get this more often. Roast Beef Sandwich ($8.75/3.5*) Super basic sandwich. Hefty enough that it is easily 2 meals for me, which is an awesome value. The beef is really natural tasting that I actually like to salt and pepper it myself. I hate when it is salty and preserved tasting, makes it more like ham than beef. Super simple produce and mustard. If you want to jazz it up, you may have to customize it yourself. I often like it simple. Ham n' Cheese Baguette ($6/5*) So this is sitting in their case, already assembled. It is in their petite baguette so it is quite thin but it is about 8 inches long. The fillings are super modest and totally resembles French portions versus American. They use a good ham, not salty nor water logged. They use Gruyere, money. A light spread of Dijon mustard and good hits of cornichons, double money. And the clincher here, have them toast it so the bread gets nice and crunchy and the cheese melts and bonds everything together. I've been getting this weekly since I've discovered it. #infatuated The kicker with the sandwich though are their breads. Most breads are really simply good here. Not like Boudin, where you'll get jaw cramps chomping on that hard ass bread. I love their sliced wheat, where the crumb of the bread resembles sourdough, dense and chewy. And the crust has an old world rye feel. And their baguettes when toasted is as solid as it gets. Something I totally wouldn't expect from an American chain. And to that I'll break my mode on hating on chains...at least this one. My mind may hate the idea, but my mouth begs to differ. Making it rain with stars!

I bought a mango sponge cake roll , eclair & tiramisu cup the taste was very off & my eclair was stale. I did end up throwing my order to the garbage. Their cake area department does not look fresh seems like they have them sitting there for days I'm really disappointed I had high expectations at this location smh . Costumer service is ass they don't greet their customers when they walk in they just stare at you , the vibe was pretty weird. If I could rate this place a zero I would I will continue going to my usual spot Paris baguette it's better fresher and delicious

I came her 2 days in row Day 1 i order the clam chowder bowl. It tasted like their was sand in the soup. The bread on side was good. I had to use the restroom which they keep locked only for customers, this was disappointing as i needed to use it but there was already a customer inside with the key and door locks automatically. Once i did get the key I noticed they had 2 stalls so its bad setup when easily 2 customers can use it. Day 2 i returned to pick up a dessert item for my friends birthday. Again i had to use the bathroom, this time i got in quickly but their lights are motion sensitive. And i got stuck in the pitch black bathroom no light of any kind could not get the motion lights to turn back on and had to fumble in the dark to find my purse which i hung on the door and had my phone where i could finally get some light. Another person or kid could have easily got hurt. The 2nd item that bothered me about this place is I ordered a dessert for my friends birthday and i asked for extra forks to share the dessert and they actually charged me an additional .50 to get the forks to eat an already expensive dessert. This place is being very cheap on how they run their business , I wont be going back

Worst experience I ever had. I tried to call multiple times 30 minutes before the store closed, but no one answered, so I decided to make a trip since I was nearby. When I arrived, I saw two cashiers standing there helping one customer. I politely asked if they were responsible for answering the phone and explained that I had tried to call several times but no one answered. They replied, "Well, we are very busy," but it didn't seem that way. Anyway, I placed my order and asked for milk sliced toast, but they both gave me a strange look and said, "We don't have milk sliced toast; we only have milk bread." Trust me, it looked more like sliced toast than bread, but I didn't argue and asked for the milk bread instead. Then I asked for a creamy French roll and for it to be sliced, but when they cut it, they dropped a couple of pieces on the floor. With any common sense, I would have expected them to offer me another creamy French roll since some pieces fell on the ground, but they acted like it was normal without any exchange. The service is on 3/29/2023 at 5:50pm

I used to loove this place so much but im unsure of what happened to the quality of the food and the service. :( definitely isn't the same anymore. Their tuna sandwich would come with lettuce and sprouts before and now it's just the tuna on your choice of bread. The presentation of the food was rushed as well as there was tuna on the sides when unwrapping my sandwich. They used to always cut the pastries for you so it's easier to eat and sometimes bite sized!! Easy for on the go. Only this time it was just the whole piece of pastry uncut, which is also fine (it still tasted the same!) just again i used to love the presentation and quality of the food. It was my main reason for always coming back, since this is in union city though -- i'll definitely be checking out other sandwich spots closer to me now since the drive is no longer worth it :/ I am happy to know Anderson Bakery is still open though!

My boyfriend doordashed a turkey avocado Swiss sandwich to me and it tastes delicious! One of the staff wrote a cute apology note saying there isn't anymore Dutch crunch bread and I actually like the bread they used instead . Thanks!

I come here all the time! As in allll the time!!! The seasoned workers know my order by now.... because I am here all the time!!!! I love their breads, the pastries, the tropical iced tea, and my favorite sandwich, the farmer's chicken salad, no sprouts on raisin bread. Everyone here works hard. I see them hustling on days when the line is out the door. They have staff who you can tell have a system down and the work flows smoothly no matter how hectic. There are those who need more support than others, and I don't think the manager has quite figured out where and when to provide more resources. Unfortunately for me, I came on one of their bad days. The guy who helped me nearly took fifteen minutes to get my three slices of Strawberry cake ready. He opened every drawer looking for plastic wrappers. He found one plastic wrap for one slice of cake as I soon found out when I was handed my order. At $4/slice, I got these itty bitty, teeny pieces of cake which was pretty sorry. There was icing all over the box. Though the worker was polite, it was a hot mess.
