My 1st time here after discovering them on Google Map last night! These guys have elevated the art making a good sandwich to a science!! My Pastrami sandwich was an maxing combination of spicy spread, fresh crunchy bread, choose, lettuce and tomato! Will be coming back again to try other sandwiches.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

My 1st time here after discovering them on Google Map last night! These guys have elevated the art making a good sandwich to a science!! My Pastrami sandwich was an maxing combination of spicy spread, fresh crunchy bread, choose, lettuce and tomato! Will be coming back again to try other sandwiches.
After a morning of working at an event, I wanted a nice lunch. My mom suggested a sandwich deli nearby, so we drove to Crust in Los Gatos. There were a lot of guys on their lunch break there in a relatively empty space with minimal decorations. I ordered a hot pastrami sandwich and was very clear in requesting light mayonnaise and mustard. The cashier didn’t seem to understand me. So just in case, I repeated my request again. After a few minutes, we got our sandwiches. I took a bite and tasted a ton of mayo and mustard. I lifted the bread off one side of the sandwich and it was drenched and soaked in mustard on one side with mayo thickly coating the other side. As far as I could tell, The bread and pastrami probably would've tasted good but drowning it in mayo and mustard totally ruined the sandwich for me.

We entered ‘Crust Sourdough Deli’ and met Ron, one of the owners. He quickly realized we had the same recognition and appreciation for fine food and could understood how much the best sandwich we had ever tasted (I’m not kidding) would change our lives! After all, can you imagine eating sandwiches all your life only to stumble upon the most delicious, most homemade, most fresh and still warm (freshly baked sourdough right out of the oven) and most mouthwatering sandwich of perfection you’ve ever tasted? Well this is it for me folks! You wouldn’t get this anywhere! Not New York, not Italy, not France…. I believe this sandwich (1. Oven Roasted Turkey) could be the symbol of America’s great sandwich, the one and only! Sadly, I gobbled ours up before I could take a picture of it, however a kind customer, a regular allowed me to take a picture of his hot pastrami sandwich. The salads looked divine and don’t forget to order their special spicy mayonnaise! This fresh baked sourdough is delectable and the freshly baked lemon cookie we shared afterwards thanks to Ron, was like a lemon tart from France baked into a cookie and was absolutely heavenly. This lemon cookie put us both on cloud cookie nine! Driving over and hour to experience ‘Crust Sourdough Deli’ will be worth it and no other sandwich will ever compare! Thank you Ron! T, K and F 🙏
