There aren't many places left in SF where you can get a sandwich under $10, but Fox & Lion Bread delivers a great sandwich for just $9 (as of May 2024). I got the famous turkey sandwich for $9, and while there might be more gourmet sandwiches in the city, this is definitely one of the best quality/price sandwiches around. As you might expect from a bakery, the bread is fresh (an absolute must for a good sandwich), and it was surprisingly big for just $9. They even included roasted red peppers, which are often an extra charge at other places. I only wish they included tomatoes and spinach for no extra charge, but it's understandable given the base price of the sandwich is only $9. It would be easy to miss this place if you're not looking for it (there is not much signage out front), but with delicious sandwiches, pizza, baked goods, and more for reasonable prices, this is a place worth seeking out. You can also order and pay ahead online - I did this and my order was ready within 15 minutes during peak lunch time on a Friday.

Zimmerman Sandwich The sandwich consists of a unripe olive oil, which adds a grassy flavor, textural crunch from the lettuce, thick slice of turkey, and the creaminess from the avocado. This is all sandwiched in between bread, which was a bit hard to chew but I like the flavor of the bread. The seasoning was well balanced from the freshness of the lettuce, avocado, and olive oil, the savoriness from the turkey and additional salt and pepper. I got this to go, so the service was fast in preparing the sandwich. Worth it.

Had the green dream and it was delicious. All the flavors melded so well together. The sandwich was large and filling. Service was great. A ton of veg/vegan options and a cute spot for a quick lunch!

This is a great place to grab a sandwhich or slice of square pizza. The variety of sandwiches all were great and the pizza was super tasty. The staff gave great recommendations and customized our orders. There are only a few seats so its best to get take out but its a good spot in a fun and clean neighborhood in San Francisco. Also, if you got kids then ask for chocolate milk. Its awesome! ! !

VEGAN REVIEW: this morning I google searched for "vegan cinnamon roll SF" - how did I not know this place is in my neighborhood before now?! The cinnamon roll was so good I gobbled it up before getting a photo. Great coffee too. Then I stuck around long enough get lunch hungry and the Green Dream did not disappoint - fresh bread and deliciously unique ingredients made this vegan tummy very happy! All at very reasonable prices. Also can't wait to try some of the cans of unique craft beers they have in the fridge. This cafe has a very chill vibe and friendly folks, there's wifi and you can hang out and get some work done with sun streaming in the wall of south facing windows. This is a new favorite spot for me!

Love this spot! It's got a cute indoor space with tables and even though I got my sandwich to-go, I could see hanging out in the future. They sell coffee and also alcohol but I did not get a drink. Service was super friendly and kind; I felt instantly comfortable. I ordered the New Orleans and also got a chocolate chip cookie. The sandwich was so fresh and had a very homemade taste. The bread was amazing and the flavor of the sandwich was delish. I want to try all the sandwiches on the menu, especially the green dream and egg salad. The cookie was soft and moist and perfect. This part of the mission is not wonderful but it's worth it for these sandwiches! Parking is sporadically available but beware of break-ins. Might want to park on Valencia St and walk over.

Excellent sandwiches, pizza, salads and cookies! It's located on a not so clean area of the mission, we almost missed the shop since it is very unassuming from the outside, almost looked more like a convenience store entrance with graffiti Small bare bones interior with a couple of tables The sandwiches are great- made with fresh bread, packed with delicious ingredients. I loved the Mary's with the cooked bell peppers and melted cheese. My husband loved his green dream- I didn't like the tapenade sauce, but he loved it. Sometimes sandwich/pizza shops don't have the best salads- but my Nico's salad was huge, with tons of colorful toppings- I was happy with it If you're wondering whether to get the cookies at the counter, the answer is yes! Their freshly baked cookies are a must!

Awesome new bakery. The fact that I just had avocado toast with delicious olive oil, fancy sea salt, perfectly ripe avocados and house made bread for $6 has me in shock. I didn't think it was legal to charge San Franciscans under $15 for avocado toast. What a deal. The bagels and cinnamon roll were a total delight and I love that they have Proyecto Diaz coffee, truly one of my favorite local purveyors. Staff is very friendly and takes time to give you the details. Small cozy seating area, warm hipstery vibe but without pretentiousness. Will definitely be back.
