The "Little Puffer" captured our hearts! It looked good on the menu, and it delivered! Crunchy toasted Dutch bread, smoked Gouda cheese, melted with turkey, lettuce, tomato and mayo was the exact recipe for a tasty deli sando! It was fun hanging out in this locals' joint while waiting for our sandos to get grilled. People came in, greeted the owners by name, and without even placing an order, were met with their exact brew of coffee or preferred sando. It made me remember living in San Francisco and the little deli shops that served as hubs of activity all day long for people coming and going. There was a wide array of items on offer, with milk and cream in one of the refrigerators. This kind of local store provides a sense of neighborhood that makes big cities feel like home to so many people!! While we waited, we grabbed a root beer and one of the huge chocolate chip cookies by the counter. The owners made friendly repartee with a customer who grabbed an orange, since she thought she might have a cold! The total bill came to under $15.00, a great bargain and a memorable experience!

Location, location, location! Perfect spot, park, grab food, booze and hit your destination. I gotta go back for the food. During my visit I just got drinks, oh and they got me for cookies. They place the cookies right next to the register. No way I could say no. Friendly staff too. Highly recommend.

I love it, I love it , I love it. Shoutout EDER, shoutout Phil his wife and everyone that works there. Sandwiches are good as hell. I recommend the Turkey sandwich with Peperoncino, the chicken pesto, tuna melt, chicken parm. And don't get me started with the Vanilla Iced Latte, every time I order one I gain 5 more years to my life span. If you come to this holy monument of a store an angel gets it's wings. Also the zoo and the beach are nearby. Ambiance is amazing they always have the bangers on and the prices are to die for. It also doesn't help that I live near by it.(They need to retire my jersey) 30/10

It's been awhile like a good long long long while since I've been here and they didn't disappoint. I called to order ahead of time and the Sammie's were ready when I got there, warm and clearly marked. I've been in pursuit of a good deli sandwich for quite some time and this ranks near the top and I'd come here again. I got the puffer and it's always a delight to see smoked Gouda on any menu. The flavors were on point. They ran about $9/10 bucks each. As always it could use more meat and fillings but overall it was a decent meal. Located in a liquor store it made selecting chips and a drink easy. Staff was so sweet and polite. All sandwich eaters in my party this round agreed-we will be back :)

I am running to this review after devouring my little puffer in Dutch crunch! Their location next to the SF zoo is PERFECT! Skip the overpriced zoo food and get this high quality Sando instead! The friendliest people also! Not to mention their logo?! It's perfect. They have some cool merch! Lots of snacks and drinks. I will be back to try their other sandwiches! Love this little gem:)

Came here as it was nearby the place I was staying and the reviews were good. I got the Little Puffer and it was great! Tasty and affordable. The cashier was nice and courteous. And the spot reminds me of old school delis! Would go back when in town.

I had just went to the zoo and wanted to eat something close by. I saw that there was this deli across the street from the zoo and decided to try it out. I was welcomed very nicely by the people working there, and even the customers. The atmosphere of the place is great. The service was amazing, they were so patient and friendly with me. They have a good selection of vegetarian options, I found it hard to choose. I ended up choosing the Veggie Pesto sandwich with Dutch Crunch bread. It was really good. Unfortunately, my reading skills failed me today because I didn't have my glasses. I didn't know that the sandwiches came with all of those toppings! I had already finished half of the sandwich before I realized there was mustard and pickles! I don't even like mustard or pickles!!! I couldn't believe that I had just eaten a sandwich without gagging from a pickle. It was so good that I didn't even notice it. With all those toppings and the quality of the sandwich, I think it is priced very well. I would definitely come back here for the friendly people and great food.

Come for the sandwiches, stay for the friendly family running the place! But seriously COME FOR THE SANDWICHES. We stopped by after a run in Golden Gate Park and I will honestly be driving across the city for my deli sandwiches from now on. They have been in business over 35 years! And it's not telling why. You can immediately tell they are passionate about their deli and the food they make. The bread and vegetables were so fresh and the array of toppings and options was so fantastic. I got a tuna sandwich on sourdough with the works and a giant pickle from a massive jar served in a little paper envelope. It was the perfect lunch. Also the sweet Nonna, bless her heart what an angel! We'll be back very soon!

Discovered George's Zoo while searching for a sandwich spot near Ocean Beach, and it turned out to be a great find. The mortadella sandwich on sourdough was delicious, and was less than $10!? The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed the zoo-themed decor inside the restaurant.
