My sisters who are gluten free had their jaws to the floor with how many wonderful options they had here. Literally there jaws were to the floor. It was hard to have them eat after because they both had them stuck down there. It was a little embarrassing. The food was great! As someone who can eat gluten, you hardly missed it.

Most items can be made gluten free.
Fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer.
Do not eat bbq sauce, malted mayo that comes with fries, or biscuit as those are not gluten free. All mayo on sandwiches is regular mayo.

Look, all the food here is decent. Great variety, good lunch spot. They’re pretty much the only deli/lunch spot in a 5-7 block radius & they know it. You can get breakfast. The tuna salad’s good. The pre-packaged salads are freshly made & they’ve got beer/wine options for your after-work pick-up on the way home.
The pros:
• They have some gluten-free sandwich bread. (Important)
• The portions are generous.
• The ppl that work here remember regulars names. (Which is great as I’ve been coming here for 7 years now)
The only negative about coming here is Oakland’s rent prices are probably so insane that Sierra has to charge you a tooth & nail for basic lunch items. A peanut butter & jelly sandwich on gluten-free bread costs me $9.
A breakfast platter (2 scrambled eggs w/ cheese, bacon, gluten-free toast, potatoes) & an orange juice was like $24.
I’m from NYC, the land of bodegas aka corner stores where there’s a deli like this sometimes twice on the same block, & everything is super affordable. So even after living in Oakland for some time, I always shake my head leaving here feeling light in the wallet. It’s the only reason I can’t drop 5 stars. Because rent aside, if U live/work nearby, this is your go-to spot to get food in this relative food desert of a neighborhood so they can tack on a buck or two & you’ve gotta pony up.
But- for what you pay for, they really do try & hook it up with generous portions.

Great sandwiches including a HUGE vegan menu. They have gluten free/vegan bread as an option also for those that prefer it. Order ahead since it might take a bit of time to get the sandwiches made.
