Rhea's Deli & Market

"Rhea’s Market & Deli is two blocks away, making the corner store a prime candidate for a picnic shopping spree. The grocery section has everything from chips and bottles of wine to an impressive assortment of cookies. But you’re here for the sandwiches, which are hefty enough to significantly weigh down your tote bag. We like to leave fate in the hands of the sandwich professionals and stick with one of the many pre-determined combinations, like the Diamond Hts with turkey, bacon, BBQ sauce, and honey dijon on toasted dutch crunch, or the Three Lil’ Pigs stuffed generously with ham, salami, and bacon.

"Perfect for grabbing and going when you're spending the afternoon in Dolores Park, Rhea's menu is filled with wonders, despite the Korean Steak sandwich leaving the menu in recent years. Peruse the menu taped to the deli counter to find your perfect sandwich for a park afternoon, although it’s worth shouting out the Freak, with pastrami and kimchi. Perhaps most importantly, they're generous with the meat if you’re looking for something hearty." - Lauren Saria, Eater Staff

"The Park: Dolores Park  Sorry to all of the other sandwich spots near Dolores Park, but Rhea’s takes gold. This corner store also serves as a deli, and all of the sandwich sorcery happens in the back past the shelves full of chips and Milano cookies. Each is an all-out flavor explosion with fillings that don’t hold back—like the “Diamond Hts” with turkey, bacon, BBQ sauce, and honey dijon on toasted dutch crunch, or the “Three Lil’ Pigs” loaded with ham, salami, and bacon. " - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway

"Rhea’s Market & Deli is two blocks from Dolores Park in the Mission, making the corner store a prime candidate for pre-picnic shopping sprees. The grocery section has everything from chips and bottles of wine to an impressive assortment of Milano cookies. But you’re here for the sandwiches. They’re customizable, loaded with fresh toppings, and hefty enough to significantly weigh down your tote bag.

Fill out an order form and people watch from one of the bar stools by the front window while you wait." - Julia Chen
