CRUST Sourdough Deli — Restaurant in Milpitas

Happened to stumble on this place during their soft opening. What a fantastic surprise!

The sandwich is amazing with a fresh baked sourdough “crust”, boars head meat selection, and the perfect amount of fixings to go with it. There is the perfect variety of drinks and chips of both the standard variety (Lays, Doritos) as well as the more unique (dirty brand) flavors. I had a great dill pickle on the side and some spicy pepperoncini (available for self serve) as well.

Pro-tip: Because it was their a soft opening, I was able to also sample their spicy spread which actually isn’t that spicy (I eat spicy) but has a fantastic slightly smokey Sriracha flavor which I will add to my sandwich each time...or dip on the side.

Super pro-tip: When it comes to fresh baked cookies I’m usually a chocolate chip purist at heart. But it also being their soft opening, I was able to sample the white chocolate macadamia with coconut shreds and the lemon. They’re all amazing but you have to try the lemon! I can’t quite put my finger on the flavor but it’s a light lemon based flavor that reminds me of something I just can’t put my finger on. Try it and tell me what you think!

The location itself is a beautiful and clean design and service is EXTREMELY fast. I think I waited five minutes for my order if that. Perfect for the grab and go at lunch, or if you want to dine in, they have indoor seating and were installing a bunch of outdoor seating as well.

They are only open during lunchtime but close enough to my work that I will definitely be back for this...

Really enjoyed my first experience here. The place is super clean, the staff was extremely friendly and quick - it was simply a pleasure to come here for lunch... onto the food:

Sandwich - I got a spicy turkey sandwich with everything. nice touches: you get a choice of mustard (regular/spicy) and an optional dill pickle spear on the side (no charge). Bread was freshly baked (still warm) with a nice little crunch to it, everything was fresh - about as good as it gets.

Cookie :) - they were selling cookies at the register which I (wrongly) assumed were purchased from elsewhere - they freshly bake these as well!! My friend and I both got different ones (chocolate chip + lemon), I'd consider both to be outstanding - the lemon one especially is unique.

I will 100% come back...this place can fit any mold you are looking for...come alone to eat there / pickup, a 1:1 spot, a catering spot for a larger group -...

Another addition to the list of local sandwich spots that specialize in high quality artisanal sandwiches baked from fresh bread...specifically sourdough bread. Not a complaint, just an observation. Even though Crust is one of the newer spots, they are very efficient and work like a well oiled machine. The customer service is friendly as well and the prices won't leave holes in your wallet.

Items I devoured so far:
