Ike's Love & Sandwiches - San Leandro, California

I feel like Ike’s SHOWED UP when they first opened but now they’ve stopped trying. Dinner rush during a heat wave should be a known busy time. Three people making sandwiches and all moving at a leisurely pace. Took us 44 minutes to get our 2 sandwiches and then discovered there was at least 1 thing wrong with each when we got home. Also, is there even meat on this sandwich? I swear they used to actually put fillings in their sandwiches but this looks like a subway special. Don’t get me wrong, I have eaten at Ike’s many many times since they’ve opened and I’ve loved them, but I can see the quality steadily declining as the shine wears off.

Loved the sandwiches, Parking available in the lot and on street(reserved) . The sandwiches are great, one of the best in San Leandro. I have my go to sandwich stop. Lots and lots of vegan options.

These guys are awesome. Placed a massive order on very short notice for a production at the arena. They got it all done, were so kind about it (even tho I know they’re exhausted!) and made my night. Stellar job, really appreciate their hustle. They deserve 5 stars and then some. Thanks again!!

One of the best sandwiches places around. Tons of delicious options for a variety of preferences, e.g., halal, vegan and vegetarian.

So my wife and I ordered sandwich’s for pick up via their website. We put in our order and were given an estimated pick up time of 11:54am. I get to Ikes at around pick up time and ask if my order is ready. The cashier goes and takes a look and tells me that it should be ready in 7 minutes. I think to myself ok, it’s the lunch rush. There are 3 employees working this afternoon. As I wait for my order, people start coming in and place in person orders. As time goes on, I notice these customers are receiving their orders before us online order folks get our food. I asked what was going on and a cashier just shrugs and walks away. Eventually, a few folks who have been waiting for food walk up to the counter and ask for refunds. I was about to do the same when I finally received my order at 12:21, almost 30 minutes after I received an estimated pick up time of 11:54am.

If I wanted to wait an hour for food, I would have gone to a fancy restaurant to eat. If this store knows they get busy during lunch, why only have 3 staff members there to make sandwiches and take orders? And get this, to add insult to injury… when I got home with my wife’s and I’s food, the sandwiches where cold (we ordered hot sandwiches) and there was barely any meat (chicken and bacon) in the sandwiches. I basically paid for expensive lettuce and tomato sandwiches with a sprinkle of chicken and bacon. I’ve been to different Ike’s in California and I’ve never had them skimp on their food. Won’t be visiting this location again. Save your money folks.
