Freshly Baked Eatery - Sandwich shop in San Jose - 152 N 3rd St # 101, USA

You guys, THIS is the place. I work a few blocks away and have been looking for a good sandwich spot for lunch (there aren't many) and I have found my go-to in Freshly Baked Eatery. Fast service, fresh ingredients, perfect ratios of meat/cheese/toppings and the BREAD is fantastic. They are cash only but have an atm on-site. Highly recommend.

Great food and kind people is rare in the same building. This place has out of the park quality with bores head meat company paired with fresh sourdough. I wish there were more locations but that never ends up withholding the quality. Ikes for example. Maybe it's better to only have one location.

I don't know what it is about San Jose but I have not had a better sourdough sandwich anywhere else. Between freshly baked eatery and sourdough eatery we have the best sandwiches in the bay. Have not had a chance to taste all mom and pop shops sandwiches but as reference, this place far exceeds the quality at Ikes Sandwiches.

Got the Pastrami sandwich with everything on it- costs 11$ and cash only (there is an ATM onsite). There are lots of good looking options so everyone could be happy there. Bread was freshly baked and very crunchy! Great tasting sandwich and would go back again. I think it's better than a place like Ike's. Everyone was friendly and they have lots of shaded seating outside too!

The best sandwich hands down in San Jose. Fresh baked bread, high quality meat, fast service..

This is going to be my new spot to take people when I’m in San Jose. I was turned onto this location by a friend of mine who frequents here. While I was waiting for my friend, the staff was extra, warm and friendly, and I got a really good vibe from them. They even Asked about the TikTok sandwich that was making the rounds. Great sandwiches and friendly staff. I had the #15

This hidden gem has THE BEST sandwiches in San Jose. Back in college, everyone in Greek row called it the “secret sandwich shop” because of its lowkey profile. I usually get the classic for the 3 different meats, but you really can’t go wrong with any sandwich. The sourdough bread also comes out steaming hot is mouth watering good.

I can confidently say, that you haven't eaten a real sandwich, until you've tried one from here! I've tried sandwiches from every establishment out there, and nothing compares! Where can you find a sandwich place that bakes their own sourdough bread, and bbq's their own meats? I think there might be one other place in San Jose that does, but there is some type of connection to this location. Side note: the employees at the other place are not very friendly. I ordered the Russian, which is their roast beef and turkey on dark Russian rye bread and swiss cheese. I substitute the dark Russian rye for the fresh sourdough bread they make every 30 minutes or so. I'd say this crucial for the overall experience here. If you opt to get regular bread that you can get at any grocery store, you might as well go to Panera or Subway. The sourdough bread is so fresh, sometimes you can even see it smoking. It is always crunchy on the outside, and very soft and warm on the inside. This allows the bread to encase all the goodness inside the sandwich. They use their own special sandwich dressing, which is very light and not overwhelming. They are very consistent here, so you will never get a sandwich that is saturated with dressing. Since the all of their meets are bbq'd in house, the texture and flavor is amazing. Trust me, once you try a sandwich here, it will be very hard to settle for a Subway sandwich. Sandwiches are set at $11, but you will probably end up eating half, and saving the other half for later. This is hands down my favorite sandwich place in the bay area! Don't forget it is cash only.
