Angelina's Deli Cafe

Grabbed a quick bite at this cute corner deli that a local friend recommended to me! The flank steak hot sandwich was just what I wanted and I’d definitely come back to try their other items.

One of my top favorite deli spots in SF! Food quality is amazing here and ingredients are always fresh. I love to sit outside on a nice day and enjoy a delicious sandwich from Angelina's (:

Love this place for the atmosphere, good food but the service can be slow — on the weekend especially! I’d recommend they do more premade sandwiches for grab-and-go?? They might be short staff but it’s so frustrating because you can’t even really call to order ahead they’re so busy.

Very quaint neighbourhood deli. The menu is fairly varied including bagels, sandwiches, salads, pasta and lasagna. And the pastries all look very delicious. There is not plenty of seating (5 tables indoors and about 7 out on the side walk), so don't expect to get a sea

Favourite cafe in the Richmond area. Great selection and really high quality food. No more expensive than you’d expect in San Francisco. Seats inside are very crowded by the people queuing for the counter, but outside seats are nice. Great pit stop for baker beach picnic supplies. The freshly squeezed orange juice is the best!!

The parking is relatively easy in San Francisco standards. The place is cute. The staff is like easygoing family amongst each other and great with customers such as myself. It was quite a long wait for my sandwich. One problem I had there was that during that long wait, this place was getting crowded with discomforting people standing very close making the experience discomforting. The other was that the veggie sandwich was decent, but nowhere near the impressive standards to validate an eonically long wait - especially a discomforting wait.

Quaint little cafe just south of Presidio! The inside is small, but the outdoor seating was the perfect way to have lunch on a foggy day. I ordered the hot pastrami and my girlfriend ordered the Italian sub. I would highly recommend the pastrami! Side note: they have a bathroom at the laundromat next door.

New coffee source and it’s exceptional! 10/10 recommend for coffee, food and general energy. Definitely a loved neighborhood spot.

Angelina's is a solid sandwich shop where you can customize almost anything your heart desires. This isn't just a sandwich place though, you can get your coffee and pastries from here too. The people working there are always so nice and willing to answer any questions you have. Seating is available outside and is really close to the 1 (if you take muni).

Angelina's has gone seriously downhill since it changed hands. They have gotten most of our orders wrong and I'm not really sure why I keep going. This never happened before the new ownership. New ordering system online doesn't have the ability to customize sandwiches. No one answers the phone. Service and level of friendliness is lacking. Such a bummer.

Maybe my bf and I got the wrong stuff, because a lot of their sandwiches and premade deli salads and such looked good, but our sandwiches were overpriced and almost inedible.

Great chai, great service, all I could ask for in a cafe. The vibe and ambiance of this cafe made it a great space for my schoolwork. Definitely recommend the meatball sub.

Changed hands . Not old place. Counter people sloppy and don't listen. Not same foods as before in flavor Use to love it done..no more

The cutest corner cafe. They have an amazing display counter with tons of delicious breakfast and lunch options. I loved my toasted bagel. The staff is very friendly. Great outdoor seating and a dog friendly space in a nice neighborhood. A great spot to grab something to go or sit outside and enjoy.

In the Richmond there are places that have been around for a long time. Angelina's is one of those places .... How about 40 years !!! The inside reminds me of the old school grocery stores I'd visit in NYC. The staff is friendly .... they are usually busy so be patient and smiling always helps. Today ... a mocha and some lasagna for later. Stop by ... say hello and let me know what you think.

Cutesy neighborhood Cafe. Quite a few hot and cold sandwich options, snacks, and drinks (booze included) with seating at small tables outside. The food options were pretty disappointing. The pasta salads didn't look very fresh while the baked goods/cookies/breads looked like they were picked up at CostCo. The hot pastrami was well-griddled, but it was surprisingly small and the pastrami was chewy/rubbery, while the toppings were not particularly generous or flavorful. Wouldn't get food again. Points given for the space and drinks.

We saw a sign outside of this cafe saying they served affogato a with soft serve ice cream. We were super intrigued after lunch and decided to come here for dessert! The actual dessert is pretty unassuming, they put 1-2 shots of espressos in a paper cup with some Straus soft serve. While the aesthetic isn't necessarily there, the espresso and soft serve do make for a really good pairing. I wish there had been a bit more espresso, but it is pretty strong and needs the soft serve to balance it out. Overall, it was a pretty simple dessert -- it didn't blow my mind but it was nice for a hot day. When I went into the deli, there were also a lot of cold salads and sandwiches available that looked yummy. I'll have to come back one day and try those as well!

Great local spot Espresso drinks are amazing High quality food Very nice people who work there

Conveniently located. Cute place. Sandwiches have severely gone up in price lately not sure why? They didn't even have bread choices. They charge even more for gluten free. Never understood that. Slices are tiny. Coffee was almost room temperature.

Sometimes we will come in for coffee and pastries. Sometimes a tuna salad. Sometimes after shopping at nearby Cal's pet supply. I like the bench sitting setup outside because I can sit with my pup. The neighborhood families with kids like to come in for the ice cream/soft serves.

This cafe is only blocks down the street from my apartment and after a whole year living in the city, I am just now getting to visit. I can't say I was very impressed. I did only have a egg sandwich to go but it was quite pricey with add ons for any protein or CHEESE (who charges for cheese....) Needless to say, there are better breakfast sandwiches (S/O to Ham and Cheese across the street!!) Perhaps I'll be back for a lunch sandwich and change my mind. It is a quite popular spot for many.

I want to first say I have been visiting this establishment --on and off--for more than twenty years. And today I was made to feel so unwelcome that I may never come back again I know there are many reviews here from people disappointed in the customer service, and I am truly sorry to add to them. Years ago, I used to come here all the time and the staff was very friendly and the food and coffee very good. I have great memories. I have visited a handful of times since Covid, and admittedly I did notice the staff had become a bit less friendly. But today I was treated with complete rudeness that I did absolutely nothing to deserve. Even worse, I felt embarrassed because it was in front of a friend that I recommended the place to because she had never been. I want to say that I work in customer service, food service specifically. So I always endeavor to be polite and easy to deal with when I go out. I am also not in the habit of leaving negative reviews. Today when I was walked in, there were four people behind the counter (one man and three women). No other customers in the shop or outside. I stood by the register to order. For five full minutes. At least two of them saw me. Nobody said hello, came over to take my order, or acknowledged me in any way. Even though, as I said, I was the only customer. I caught the attention of one of them and asked politely and in a friendly manner if I was standing in the correct place to order.( I was sincerely asking this). She answered in an annoyed tone "Yes. Just give her a minute!" gesturing generally towards the two other girls. I said "of course, no hurry, I was just making sure." And smiled. She did not smile back. A couple more minutes go by. Finally, the same woman I spoke to came over to the register and looked at me. I ordered my coffee drink and then tried to ask about the bagel lox and cream cheese,but barely got the word "bagel" out before she sharply said "we don't have any bagels". Ok. So I look at the menu to order something else and asked about the Italian sandwich, and also the meatball sandwich. She said, still annoyed, still not smiling "No. not the Italian" Ok. So I said, but you do have the meatball sandwich? She said yes we have a meatball sandwich. Still looking at me like she'd rather not be talking to me at all. So I say I will have that. So I pay. She doesn't say thank you and doesn't give me the receipt (takes it off the register but when I held my hand out to take it, turned away from me.) I go sit outside and wait. And wait. More customers are there now. I see a drink sitting on the counter, but nobody looks over at me or calls out my name or the drink. And the area it's sitting in has a sign that says for to go orders, so I'm not sure (?) My friend goes in and orders. Comes out with her drink and some chips. So I go in, check the name of the drink & it's mine so I take it. Still no sandwich. My friend gets her sandwich, even though she ordered after me. I wait several more minutes. Someone else picks up their sandwich. So I go in to ask-- and the same woman who took my order at the register sees me and dismissively tosses the sandwich on the counter in my direction. I go outside with it, open it up. The cheese is melted but now cold. The meatballs are cold inside and lukewarm on the outside. The sauce is lukewarm. The bread is stale. All of this for $15. (The mocha was good, at least.) I really want to continue to support this place. It's stuck around for years when so many places haven't, and I do my best to support small businesses. So I hope the owner or manager takes all the negative reviews about customer service seriously, because I am not a difficult person. Or a rude person. And I left feeling as if the staff really had preferred I had not come in at all.

The food here can be hit or miss. I ordered the steak sandwich, Mac and cheese, lasagna, and tuna salad. The steak sandwich and lasagna were the best. The steak sandwich had just the right amount of vinegar. The lasagna was very meaty and cheesy. The Mac and cheese was a little on the flavorless side. The tuna salad tasted like tuna straight from the can though. Nice deli in a nice neighborhood.

Like me, Angelina's owner Angie Rando had very fond memories of visiting old Italian delis with her pop when she was a wee girl. The butcher would welcome her with a slice of salami and a smile. This is what inspired her to open her own Italian-style delicatessen. (By the way, it's not as expressively Italian as Genova's in Walnut Creek or Alimento's in SF. In fact, I had to ask what style of deli they were.) Luka (son, 15) and I pulled up to Angelina's out in SF's Richmond District on a cloudy Sunday in mid-September. A quaint little spot on California Street just south of Presidio. The line was short and I got the spicy roast beef sandwich on Dutch crunch (my new favorite bread). It came adorned with horseradish-cheddar, lettuce and roasted tomatoes. The bread was stale. Tough, dry, sock-like. Plthtew. Yuck. A very disappointing experience. A waste of time, really. The cheddar horseradish combomint (condiment combo) was intriguing and might've been considered an excellent idea if it hadn't been served with stale bread. Stale bread ruins everything. It just does. The tomato also struck me as mealy and overripe until I realized that it was roasted. Because you see, since the bread was stale, I immediately assumed that all of the ingredients were on the geriatric side, too. See how that works? Nevertheless, the mushy roasted tomato didn't taste roasted... or like a tomato... or like anything at all. Luka got the Italian sub and found it to be essentially on par with a grocery store delicatessen - not special in any way. Your basic okay sandwich. As I was ordering, I was trying to chat up the counter staff and they were not having it. Too busy, please move along. Which struck me as odd, given that the owner's fond childhood memories that served as the inspiration for this deli prominently featured a counterman's smile and generosity. This got me thinking about how hard it is as a delicatessen owner to hire and train staff that will deliver memorably good customer service while making hardly more than minimum wage (delicatessen workers in California make just $32K a year on average) and being the occasional recipient of nasty, even brutish customer behavior. That can't be easy and I very much empathize. But it is imperative to crack that nut. I've looked at my personal copy of The Restaurant Manager's Guidebook (more than 1,000 pages) to see what they had to say about hiring and training and it was awfully thin on details. And what the authors did cover was pretty perfunctory. Several Yelp reviewers also commented on the blunt, cold service at Angelina's. I take negative Yelp reviews with several grains of salt, but there is a discernable pattern of one- and two-star reviews that complain about the rudeness of the staff. One said, "Staff has an attitude as if they are the customer and you are supposed to serve them." That's a far cry from Angie's own childhood Italian delicatessen experience that she said, "made me feel special for the rest of the day," You might say it was the opposite experience. What gives, Angie? But while customer service may be a weakness, Angie is shockingly good at employee retention. There was a painted sign on the window that listed off employee names and their tenure there at Angelina's. The place opened in 1983, and some of the staff had been working there for 10, 20, and 30+ years. Impressive... but then again, perhaps it's time for some of them to seek other opportunities. Angelina's serves a bunch of Italian-style and non-Italian mains, sides and salads. Chicken parm, lasagna, meatloaf, roasted vegetables and more. I got the Eggplant Napolean to go with my stale-bread sandwich and it was actually pretty decent. So there was that. They also have a big spread of candy for the kiddos and, as I said, the soft serve.

I was in the neighborhood and wanted to stop by really quick to grab a quick breakfast. Hands down, they have the best Ham & Cheese croissant I've ever had!! Have already made an appointment here to come back with a friend.

Cute neighborhood cafe. Plenty of outside seating (no inside seating) Every time I've purchased add ons for bagels or sandwiches, I never get them. I have never eaten a slice of bacon from this place although every time I've ordered something, I've asked and paid for bacon. Sucks when you walk all the way home and open up your $12 bacon avo and sprouts bagel and find out it's just a bagel and cream cheese. Wish I didn't have to obnoxiously open my food on the outside tables to check to make sure I'm getting what I paid for.

Gorgeous garlic display courtesy of Chelsea! Fantastic food for dining outside or packing a picnic lunch!

Pros: cute neighborhood cafe Ok service Outdoor seating available Cons: ok food

Great sandwich and customer service. I liked to see the family pictures on the wall and its history.

I come here for coffee and sandwich sometimes. Honestly, pretty pricey place for the food but it's a nice treat sometimes. Today, I got their turkey cranberry and turkey bacon club:) The turkey cranberry is pretty sweet, so if you're more of a savory person, I would recommend getting something else on their menu like the turkey bacon club or egg salad sandwich. I really like the sourdough bread they use, and the turkey is pretty good quality too. I love their to go salads like the bean or kale one! Heathy, simple, tasty but a bit pricey!

I live nearby and frequent Angelina's Deli Cafe quite often. It's my go-to spot for delicious coffee and pastries. The coffee is always perfectly brewed, and the pastries are fresh and tasty. The cozy atmosphere makes it a great place to unwind. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit!

This amazing cafe hits different after school. I come here about 3 times per month and I will always look forward to it. Especially with my school linch being bad, a nice ice cream cone is great.

We stopped here after a Presidio hike. There are tables outside where you can sit and eat. You order inside and wait for your food. The staff were very friendly and food was ready quickly. They had so many options it made it difficult to choose. Lots of sandwiches and baked goods. And there was also a lot of salads and even chicken Parmesan, meatloaf, and pasta. They had coffee options as well. I had the goat cheese sandwich on a baguette. It was tasty although a little small for the price. I also got a sweet treat (and one to go). The morning bun and almond croissant were fantastic.

Just moved to the area, and this was the first place I tried. Stopped in for a sandwich, and ordered the veggie sandwich. The person who took my order was very blunt and cold towards me. Didn't think much of it until I asked if they had free wifi. I think the question offended her because she returned with a very annoyed NO. Felt very unwelcomed. And on top of it all, the sandwich was overpriced and not very good!

We got the tuna salad on Dutch crunch. So yummy! Everything in the deli looked tasty, there was a nice selection of everything a deli should have. Service was great, the seating outside was pleasant. Our stop by Angelina's helped make a perfect casual afternoon date!

The meat was cold. That's it. That's the only note. Great coffee. Excellent sandwiches. Lovely service. But the meat was colder than the bread or the crisp lettuce or the creamy mayo.

went for two sandwiches- my husband's was fine with him .... BUT! I asked "what's in the tuna melt "? I was told " tuna". ( good to hear !) mayo cheddar cheese on toasted bread " Sounded a bit bland but safe ... unhappily it arrived with diced bell peppers Why wouldn't that be mentioned??? difficult picking out what I could- I should have gone back and returned it. Only condolences offered over the phone

I want to love this place. It's very cute and has a nice setup. Good location. However every time I come here it's just underwhelming. The sandwiches are basic, bread always a little stale. Salads are nothing special. Service is always fine but they are generally disinterested. Longevity can mean excellence or complacency. Sadly I think this falls into the latter bucket. Could use an update or some energy. I suppose joke's on me for coming back for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th etc times and expecting something different. They often say change is the only constant. In this case, there is no change in the constant state of just adequate.

The backed goods are delicious. Pre-made salads are solid. Do not bother ordering a sandwich. Something is missing every single time (usually the avocado on a veggie sandwich).

I arrived just after opening on a Sunday. They were finishing preparing some of the deli case items. Everything was fresh and everyone inside was very friendly. I ordered us some breakfast and coffees to go and they were very tasty. I returned later for lunch and we had sandwiches that were delicious. The deli was clean, the food was good, and the neighborhood seems to stop in regularly.

Came here recently to try out their sandwiches! I can't believe I live so close but never got down to trying it! My fiance and I got everything to-go since it was during the COVID-19 Shelters in Place lockdown (a story to tell my grandchildren?!). They have a wide variety of sandwiches hot and cold, and other bakery items. I ended up getting the steak sandwich, which came with ciabatta bread and red peppers. Honestly, the steak meat quality was amazing, and they gave a pretty hefty amount of it. The cheese was melted perfectly and combined perfectly with the steak. The ciabatta bread was a good call too. However, there were no greens in the sandwich, no tomatoes, and having no veggies made me feel imbalanced afterwards....I had this weird need to eat the greens to balance out all the meat and carbs... The sandwich was on the smaller side, but I did feel full afterwards, and for many hours thereafter. I would return here, but to try their other sandwiches that are more traditional with lettuce and tomatoes, and also a sub-style sandwich, which is more of my groove.

I was just here and spent $40+ of their goods. At the beginning of my purchases, all was pleasant. I decided to buy coffee and some danishes. Why not! Support the Locals during COVID-19. Got my coffee and when I proceeded to ask for my danishes - the girl behind the counter (long dark hair, 5'3", round eyes, wearing white today - figured the owner should know who it is by my description so she can chat about her bad customer service skills), said "what did you have?" in a very rude way (remember, I just spent over $40 in the establishment. I kindly said, chocolate croissant, morning bun and smart bar. She asked "one bag ok"? I said sure! Then she said "I'll put it at the counter"! Grabbed my napkins and when I went to grab the bag of pastries - I see it in the floor. I hear my boyfriend tell them "it fell, probably the wind that blew in"! So I tell her - the bag fell in the floor. And she said "what?"... I said "the bag fell on the floor and all the pastries too." She then says to me "wait a minute"! Then comes to the front and says "what did you have again?". I said "Morning bun, Chocolate croissant and the smart bar". Then she puts every thing in the bag and abrasively and rudely said "here - grab it"... I came to regret after leaving the cafe that I should not have wasted my good money for such rude service. The cashier is very very pleasant - you girl too. Rude girl should learn from her... Dear owner - teach her and make sure she learns about great customer service!

40 min for a sandwich not a long line so I'm not sure what the hold up was? Staff was very kind, just slow

Been going there for many years.. everything is fabulous and Angie and the staff make you feel like family .

Delicious and Healthy Some of My favorites are Kale salad, Chicken Cutlets, roasted Veggies, ABLT SANDWICHES and Turkey Club. The meatballs!

Hard to find parking around the area specially during lunch hr. Friendly staff, great selection of sandwiches. They do take phone order as well so you don't have to wait long since theyre always busy.

I have been grabbing lunches and snacks and coffee for years here, whenever I am in the neighborhood. Always really good and great service. They even have Gluten Free options now.

Used to love Angelina's. Hadn't been back in a while and the food is different now. Skip the Asian Chicken Salad unless you like food with Zero flavor. There was no dressing or seasoning on it. Did they forget to dress it or is this the recipe? The pesto pasta was fine but not particularly good like it used to be. It has a buttery flavor (good pesto has olive oil, parmesan, garlic and basil - but this tasted like they maybe replaced the parmesan or olive oil (or both) with butter).

Cute, neighborhood spot Chipotle flank steak sandwich Tender and juicy Leave room for dessert Try the homemade granola On top of soft serve

What a neighborhood gem! This deli cafe serves up fresh coffee & expresso drinks, bagels & pastries, plus a wide selection of sandwiches & salads. On top of all this, they have soft serve ice cream. Whoa! Today was my first visit to Angelina's, but it won't be my last. I tried their whole milk cappuccino along with a croissant with egg & cheddar cheese. What more could you want to start out the weekend? The place was crowded - it definitely has a following among the locals. Stand in line to order your food & drink -- pay at the counter -- then they call you number. Take away or sit at one of their cafe tables inside or outside. All in all - a fantastic experience. I can't wait to go back.

Super cute corner deli cafe with everything from sandwiches, bagels, breakfast items, and cold deli items. Came here to get a roast beef sandwich for lunch and it was delicious! This cafe has a bright, warm, friendly neighborhood vibe which I love and family owned for over 30 years.

Angelina's seriously improves the quality of life for mid-Richmond folks like myself. The food is fresh and tasty; gourmet yet home-style. It's a cozy corner cafe, very popular with families but is also a great place to head for coffee and a light breakfast on a languid Sunday morning/afternoon. Plenty of sidewalk seating for those ever elusive sunny days. Yes, it's pricey, but well worth the premium. The Mediterranean orzo salad with feta and kalamata olives never disappoints and the veggie sandwich on french roll can keep me going through most of the day. My only lament is that the veggie lasagna is currently taking a hiatus from the menu. Can't wait til it reappears in the well-stocked deli case. The cupcakes are a satisfyingly unpretencious treat, sprinkles and all. And the cheese case always offers a myriad of continental and local dairy delights. Wouldn't mind if they stayed open a bit later... All in all, an asset to the hood. I heart Angelina's.

For such a small cafe, they have a wide range of food options. My go-to is the tomato and mozzarella; it's simple and delicious! They have outdoor seating under awnings, which is really lovely on a nice day - the neighbors have planted loads of flowers, so it's especially beautiful in spring and summer. The staff here is usually very friendly, and now that I've been coming here almost daily for months, they know me by name and know what I usually order. Their apple turnovers are my favorite, and they make a good affogato as well!

Angelina's is the best cafe and deli in the Richmond District. The food is always fresh and delicious. The staff goes out of their way to be helpful and pleasant. I can't recommend this enough.

We love this place! Such delicious sandwiches and the people there are great and friendly. Really convenient. They also make my fave cookies -- the oatmeal raisin is the best! So good!

I've been going there often for at least the past two years. It's conveniently located and the food selection is adequate for a quick lunch. The staff is absolutely unsufferably unfriendly. Taking an order seems to be such a drag. They don't smile, don't greet, barely look at you when taking your order and so on. I don't need much but every single one of them ( at the exception of one) consistently behaves that way. As an example, today after ordering 4 items, I paid by card leaving a 20% tip, I picked up my order, with an incorrect item. I asked for the bag that was not offered to me at the time of payment and I was asked for a dime, which I did not have ... I got the bag handed to me anyway with the sternest look ... I'm done with this place and those rude and unfriendly people.

My last two pick up orders have been wrong. Both times items were missing and/or wrong. The previous time I ordered a large order and multiple items were missing. I sent the business an email and never received a response. I chalked it up to the place being really busy. This time my sandwich order was wrong and I was missing chips. The bag was stapled shut and no one mentioned that you need to grab the chips before you leave. In addition, there were no napkins or forks included to eat the salad. We went straight to the park from picking up and couldn't enjoy our entire meal. Total disappointment and waste of money. Be cautious and check your order before leaving this establishment.
