Andronico’s Deli

The deli here is pretty large. The prepared/​cooked foods is decently extensive, a handful of soups, snacks. However the deli meats and cheeses for sandwiches may provide the most variety. I get lost on the cheeses for days

This deli fills a «niche» market. I wouldn’t come here for a quick sandwich or anything. If come here for high end food such as prime beef, crab, or other high quality food. The prices are high, but rightly so, this food is of very high quality.
The store can be difficult to navigate, but the cashier was quick, friendly and happy. Overall, don’t come here for average items like cereal. Come here for very high quality food at good prices for the quality.

A-​ok. That pretty much sums it up. It’s not outstanding, but it’s pretty good. They had a butternut squash and tortellini salad I used to love back when I ate gluten. If I’m desperate, I might grab something here, but that’s about it.

This place is old school. It hasn’t changed much since I was in high school. And I only go here when I don’t want to go to Cupertino for Whole Foods.
One major plus, they have a lot of sample stations. The day I went there was Kombucha sampling everywhere. I never had tried that much Kombucha ever!

I have been eating at this deli for over 15 years, since my years at St. Francis High School. Honestly I have never had bad service here and there are always numerous staff available to help with orders. The deli and bakery cases are things of beauty to be appreciated and enjoyed as the true dietary spectacle that they are. There are so many options for side dishes, meat, pastas, sandwiches, pastries and cakes the list goes on and on. The food has always had consistent quality in my experience.
Truthfully I do not even believe that these chicks reviewing the deli could even eat more than half a sandwich. This deli is a little pricey, not too bad though… I give it the Fat Ralphy Seal of Approval.
* I was going to review the store based on my deli experience, but decided to review here instead to weigh in on the poor reviews.

This is the first Andronico’s Deli that I’ve been to and probably won’t go back here again.
I was in line to order a turkey and cranberry sandwich when I saw one of the sandwich makers wipe her dirty knife, which she just used to cut raw beef with, on her apron.
THEN she proceeded to slice some bread for the customer in front of me.
I was frankly grossed out by this. We locked eyes, so as I pointed right at her face I yelled, «I saw you do that!, and I walked out. Ugh…

I like the delis at fancy supermarkets, and I like the delis at Andronico’s various locations, but this one often falls short. The dishes sometimes look old, and they don’t always taste great, which is unacceptable for the prices.
