Cafe Algiers - San Andreas

Cafe Algiers serves delicious sandwiches for under $5-6. They use Boar’s Head meats and cheeses (apparently it’s high quality for those of us who don’t know much about deli meat brands). They offer ciabatta buns, and you can even get your sandwich grilled, heated, or toasted if you ask for it. You choose a meat and tell them what bread you want. Cheese is an extra few cents. They also serve coffee, pastries, various Middle Eastern/Mediterranean foods like falafal and spinach pies, but I was too enamored with the sandwiches to ever order anything else. This place is definitely a great lunch option if you’re in the Financial District: yummier and cheaper than the chain alternatives (Subway, Quizno’s, Togo’s).

Their egg salad sandwich is the bomb especially if you get there by about 10.30am ..

A few years ago I was happy to see this place expand into two buildings and a consistent line out the door.

$7.20 for a very average spicy turkey on sliced rye.
