The sourdough bread is spectacular, this place definitely lives up to its name. I had the irresistible vegan, which was delicious but quite small. There was a variety of vegetables but a pretty tiny amount of each one. Very tasty but not worth the price for the amount of filling.

Crust is amazing. I love this place so much as it gives amazing sandwiches extremely quickly. The bread and cookies are all baked fresh on site and you can really taste the difference. I only wish you could order half orders of the specialty sandwiches as they are massive! They took over the old Specialty's location and really made it their own with a lovely modern look. Service is always amazing and the owner frequently will drop in. Hope they get the breakfast offerings going soon as it would make a wonderful spot.

Crust catered lunch for a small gathering I hosted at work, and it was a hit. Online ordering was easy, and the sandwiches were delivered timely. The only problem we had was a special instruction included for one sandwich got missed. I would still recommend them because the sandwiches are great.

First review of the year is for Crust Sourdough. The location is convenient for pickup or dine in for weekday lunch and the service is great. I got the usual Chioptle chicken and asked for spicy which is really more flavor than just spice. The bread and all ingredients used were fresh as always.

We go here every month or so to this casual spot to get the hot pastrami here. It is by far our favorite pastrami place. The pastrami meat is not too dry or salty like other pastramis we've had. It's a pretty pricey pastrami but the portion is quite huge. And the bread is so fresh and crispy. Really lives up to the name of this restaurant. I also love the pickles that it comes with and if you eat in you can get more from the jar. It's also nice that the staff are friendly here too.

Crust is always a super reliable place to go for lunch. They have online ordering which makes it easy to take a lunchtime walk, swing by and pick up your sandwich to eat. They're always exceptionally friendly, on time and the food is well prepared. We've also eaten on premises and it's tidy with enough seating indoors/outdoors for a group of 8-10. I recently had a VERY last minute catering request and they were able to support that and were super friendly throughout the process. Totally recommend :)

This has been in my bookmarks for a while, and today I finally made my way over to give Crust a shot. It took me a second to figure out where it was because Google Maps directed me to Palo Alto Square. Thankfully, it's the first store you see when you enter building 5, is it's not that hard to find. I ordered the Chipotle chicken sandwich and added some avocado. I also picked up some Dirty Potato Chips--the best after Kettle Cooked and ahead of Miss. Vickie's--as well as a free chocolate chip cookie for checking in. My sandwich was ready a few minutes after I paid for it, and it was amazing. Their sourdough bread was toasted and had a great crisp, and the sandwich had some good flavor on account of the avocado and spicy mustard. I thought the sandwich looked kinda small, but it was actually very filling. I get why they put this location in an a complex with a lot of offices: the service is super fast, the employees are friendly, and the sandwiches make for a substantial meal. Definitely check out Crust if you're a fan of sourdough sandwiches.

This place is pretty delicious, if you can find it haha. This particular location of CRUST is kind of tucked away in the bottom floor of a group of nondescript office buildings. It's definitely not something you notice right away from the street. Me and some coworkers nearly drove right by. All that aside, the sandwiches here were very much worth the drive and effort to find. I will say though... the chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie was the star of the show. It was so soft and delicious. Make sure to pick one up if you stop by. You'll be glad you did.
