Erik’s DeliCafé

Keep track of your points on your card. Once you hit 100 points, then you receive $ 10 you can spend it on your next purchase. Sandwich. Soup. Soda. Chips. Whatever you want. However this location doesn’t do that. They’ll slide your card over and over to get you to come back waiting for a free sandwich and it’ll never happen. Good luck

I stopped here on a roadtrip. I had the Erikson classic Reubens hot sandwich, and my boyfriend had the Abbots Habit hot sandwich. Neither of us particularly liked these sandwiches. I have many Reubens before so i know jow i like them. We both ate our sandwiches they were just kind of blah. I wish the pastrami and bread and been better toasted. The pickles were good I like the added orange to our plates.
We ate in the restaurant but they let us have to go cups for our drinks for free.
However the staff was friendly, drinks were good, the place was clean, and the atmosphere was great!

The staff was nice and helpful. The place is really clean.
The Pilgrim’s Progress was really good. The REO Speedwagon was good too.
I saw the commercial and wanted to give them a try. I’m glad I did. I’m disappointed to see Unilocal only gave them 3.5 stars.

Recently started eating at Erik’s again after a long hiatus. Really enjoy their new sammies. Was getting a bit bored with their traditional choices. Go to lunch choices are either the Thai chicken wrap with spicy peanut sauce or the Hikari chicken express with sriracha mayo. Both are not overwhelmingly spicy though the peanut sauce has a bit more kick.
The Hikari has the perfect blend of salty, sweet from the ham and pineapple. The sriracha gives just a hint of heat. The onion roll is soft and fresh. A very messy sandwich to eat. Look put for your clothes or you may return to work with a Jackson Pollock inspired blouse.
The wrap is chock full of chicken. Peanut sauce comes on the side so wrap doesn’t get soggy. Also has the added benefit of the diner being in control of the spice level. Perfect for a quick lunch on the go. Not particularly messy to eat.
New location just OK. A bit hard to spot the first time. Tucked in a corner of the strip mall between Dollar Tree and the Chinese restaurant. Smaller dining area but with more parking. Space is also narrow and a bit claustrophobic. But old location, while spacious, was a bit dated and dusty.
Staff have been friendly and helpful. They’ve patiently explained the new menu items. They’ve also been quick to bus dirty tables.

Wow! I had the farmers market sandwich (added cheddar) and actually felt like it was refreshing. It was delicious! So many veggies! I could eat this all day.

Haven’t had the sandwiches here and I’m sure there good but one night I ordered some soup because my boyfriend was sick and for what we got it was way overpriced. It was hot and tasted decent but just wasn’t filling enough.

What can I say. I love fresh food. This place makes what you want, fresh and fast. If you have not tried Eric’s Deli Café you are missing out. One of my favorites is the Natural High. I also love the Sea Dog.

Eriks moved! Yes, I miss the old building like a ton of people do too. This one just doesn’t seem to have that same feeling at all.
But, this review is for the food.
I love that they almost always have gluten free options and that is such a huge thing for a sandwich spot.
On top of it, most of their sandwiches are really good!
The ingredients are always fresh and I don’t ever have to worry about if blank or blank has been sitting around for days like some other places.
Also, the service is always really nice and I’ve yet to have someone be rude to me.
Their soups are also generally good.
Overall, this place is thumbs up as far as sandwiches go and soups go.
I haven’t really tried a full order of their salads but their half soup half salad combo is really yummy!
Simple and fresh lunches can be had here and I would definitely recommend folks give it a try.

Note: This review is for the food, not the building.
I had to write that so I could give Erik 4 stars. The sandwiches are good indeed, more on that later. Here’s the problem: A few years ago, we met up with the couple we had house church with for several years, and they took us to Erik’s. It was in the old location, with the exposed beams, old world atmosphere, that made you think you were in Tahoe City and not in drab boring Dublin. I loved how it was set up, and that made my sandwich even better. Now. .. welllllll. .. not only does it seem like less square footage, but it’s the drab boring interior that you’d expect in a shopping center in Dublin. I miss the old place. Very much.
The sandwiches are still good, though. I ate an Erik Berger, complete with Ham & Swiss and their famous sprouts. I took it to go, went to the closest park, and enjoyed myself. Lower priced than Capriotti’s, but you also get less sandwich than Capriotti’s, so it’s fairly priced. Insides are fresh and tasty. Now, they did not list what soft drinks they have on the menu on top, so that causes confusion.
It’s a good lunch stop if you’re working in the area. Or if you live in the area. Aaaah, fugettaboutit, if you find yourself in Dublin, go to Erik’s. Hopefully you weren’t here before they moved. .. I still miss that old place. ..

Decent place if you’re craving sandwiches. We grabbed 4 sandwiches to go for nom-​ing on the road to Carmel.
Got:
— 2 Chicken Pestos ($ 7.39). They were delish although would have been much better with more sprouts and pesto. The chicken was a little bland and the onion bread needed more flavor. I could barely taste the onions on top!
— 1 Rio Grande with no tomatoes ($ 7.39). but they added tomatoes to the sandwich anyways. it’s disappointing that they got such a seemingly tiny request wrong.
— 1 Pot Belly ($ 7.39). It was good but there was only 2 slices of pastrami
Overall, an alright sandwich place, would only go again if it was convenient or if I was bored. Not amazing and they seemed stingy on the ingredients.

I’m a regular — at least once a week — because you just can’t go wrong with their menu! I adore the Thai wrap, butternut soup and pilgrims progress — 9 months out of the year. Then comes the really special time — the holiday sandwich! A Thanksgiving tasty hug that I can’t get enough of. Excellent service and they’ll get you in and out quickly with to-​go orders. And the cherry on top is always the pickle spear in the tongue and cheek wrapper — reminding you to «respect your pickle.»

I remember loving Erik’s way more as a kid… I know I used to love the Pilgrim’s progress sandwich and their clam chowder. I’ve been back twice since they moved and I tried the clam chowder the first time, and it was not how I remembered at all. It lacked flavor and I was disappointed. I came back yesterday and tried the butternut squash soup and the turkey walnut pesto sandwich. The soup was comforting and tasty, not too salty and had a nice flavor. The turkey walnut pesto sandwich had some amazingly fresh nine grain bread and the combo of turkey, pesto, sprouts, tomatoes and avocado was tasty. I just wish the turkey didn’t taste so… processed and that there was more of the pesto because it was quite tasty. Service is fast and friendly, I just expect more from the food for the price.

First time at Erik’s delicafe and probably not my last.
I’ve passed this place a million times and only at the suggestion of my spouse did I walk in.
The place is decent and has plenty of seating. I ordered a roast beef special sandwich (Not the name but that’s what I recall) and it was good save the bean sprouts that colored and overwhelmed this otherwise good sandwich.
I’ll be back and will most likely order the same sandwich but without the sprouts. The chili I had on the side was good but need a healthy dose of hot sauce to bump it up from mildness.
All in all a decent place to eat.

The Sandwich was great. Service was very slow!

Solid night here tonight. Let me start by saying that the manager Mike did make things right after our last visit. This was a big thing for me.
Tonight we tried it again. The people working tonight were full or energy and very sweet. The attitude was very different than my last visit.
All of our sandwiches were right. They were helpful with the little ones too.
The place is always clean looking in my mind. I did feel that gather the trash and having it right by were you order at 5:15pm on a Friday was a bit odd, but who cares it was a good visit.
I’ll be back. They made a believer out of me.

I love Erik’s. Food is always fresh, and so tasty. I’ve probably tried about 50% of the items on the menu, and I have yet to find one that I didn’t like. My favorite is definitely the «Pilgrim’s Progress.» It’s the best turkey & avocado sandwich I’ve had. They definitely don’t short you on turkey or avocado! The «What’s New» specials are always really good, and they cycle them out about once every couple of months.
I also visit the Pleasanton location, but usually only to pick up. I visit the Dublin location, and sit down to have lunch there. The staff members are always very friendly, and everything comes out in a timely manner. I especially love their new location – it’s updated, very clean, and easier to get to than their previous location. Parking can be kind of slim, as it’s a busy shopping center, but there’s plenty of parking in back!

Checking in here about a year later. This Erik’s franchise is still TOPS and their new location is PHENOMENAL. If you haven’t been since they moved, you really need to cruise by. They did an amazing job with the décor and layout so I’m hoping that all the haters from before who complained about the old place will be happy and give these folks the love they definitely deserve.
Thanks to this Erik’s team for always going above and beyond…
PARKING TIP: There is ample parking in the back if you enter via Startward Drive. Then it is a few short steps to the deli.

Went here for lunch, it looked like a grand opening or grand re-​opening.
I only say this because they had balloons on their outdoor seating & the owner, Erik was there. There were people going up & taking selfies with him. Lol. It was cute.
They had menus on the wall near the entrance for people that can’t quite read the menu above. The cashiers take your orders but you can see the soups & breads while you are waiting through the glass display they have. SUPER FRIENDLY employees :)
They give you a tray lunchroom style with your order. They give you numbers so they can find you if you order a sandwich. I ordered a Clam Chowder Bowl :)
The bread was soooo yummers! The clam chowder was okay but I’ve had clam chowder from Seattle where the seafood is bountiful so I can’t necessarily knock them on that ;)
All in all, I was full when I left & that’s all that matters, right?
There are bussers to clean up after you so no need to put your tray away.
I’ll be back for their Tomato Basil Soup, which I have heard is the best!

This place was simple and delicious very clean and the staff was polite and quick. I had the pilgrims process with a garden salad their vinaigrette dressing made the salad perfect. The proportions were perfect. Place was great and very well decorated.

I like going to Erik’s Deli. Something about the simple furnishings, high ceilings and rustic interiors speaks to my soul. And the lack of fuss on extraneous details allows them to focus on the product, which nine times out of ten in my case is a tasty and delicious «Sandwich with Character» — like the Marrakech Express (which I confess, I’ve daydreamed about on many an occasion).
Recently Erik’s stopped carrying the Marrakech Express, perhaps because I was the only person that ever ordered it. That made me very sad, but every dark cloud has a silver lining. And my silver lining is that I’m now open to all of Erik’s other offerings, especially the «new» lineup that the wizards in Erik’s test kitchen unveil every year.
This summer, I tried both the Seoul-​Full Pork sandwich and the Chicken Durango sandwich. The former is bursting with Asian flavors and the latter has some down-​home-​on-​the-​range ingredients that make your heart sing, such as hickory-​smoked bacon and cheddar cheese. Really, you can’t go wrong with either, but in my book, the Seoul-​Full Pork wins by a whisker.
So come on over and give it a whirl, and let the world know what you like!
