Sourdough & Co. — Restaurant in Irvine

If you’re looking for a lunch spot that checks all the boxes—fresh, fast, and consistently satisfying—Sourdough & Co. is hard to beat. Specializing in sandwiches, soups, and salads, this place brings a fresh twist to classic comfort food.

Let’s start with the star: the sourdough. It’s everything you want in a sandwich bread—crusty on the outside, soft and chewy inside, with just the right tang. Whether you’re going for the Roasted Turkey, Hot Pastrami, or the fan-favorite Turkey Bacon Avocado, the quality of the ingredients is always a standout.

Their soups are another reason to keep coming back. The Broccoli Cheddar and Tomato Basil are warm, creamy, and taste homemade—not overly salty or canned. Pair one with a half sandwich or salad for a well-balanced meal.

Speaking of salads, they’re fresh, crisp, and well-portioned. I especially recommend the Chicken Caesar or the Cranberry Walnut if you’re looking for something lighter but still filling.

The atmosphere is clean, casual, and welcoming—great for a quick lunch, a takeout order, or even a low-key business meeting. Service is generally friendly and efficient, and you never feel rushed even when...

First time ordering two sandwiches here, and we received the caprese and brisket sandwiches with hardly any filling. I am surprised with the good reviews, if this is what they’re giving customers at this location. So expensive for so little they put in their sandwiches.I am also reading the responses from the Owner on the less than stellar reviews, and seems defensive. As an owner or manager you need to listen to your customers and realize you’re doing something wrong if a customer is leaving unhappy. I agree with that customer stating that a place like Mr. Pickles is superior for what they give you for the cost. Also, the owner is confusing quality for quantity. Quality doesn’t matter if you’re lacking the “quality” ingredients in the sandwiches. There’s a reason places like Mr. Pickle or Ike’s sandwiches are still in business, and customers like going there. Maybe take some notes from unhappy customers and...

I saw that Sourdough & Co. Opened up nearby and wanted to try out their sandwiches!

I got the pesto turkey combo with a clam chowder bowl. The 8” turkey sandwich with sourdough was yummy and filling - I thought the turkey and the mozzarella were particularly good. The clam chowder was also solid.

So overall I found the food to be good, but I have a hard justifying the value of the meal. The sandwich at $14.99 was the closest to being worth it, but sandwiches feel like the kind of meals that aren't that valuable because there's not much to them besides the ingredients. The combo add-on of a clam chowder soup and a can of coke for $7.95 definitely didn't feel worth it because the clam chowder bowl was tinyyyy - I won't be getting the clam chowder again.

I expect that I'll return to Sourdough & Co. every now and then for the sandwiches, but not too often because the price point didn't hit the...
