We had two bowls of clam chowder. Needed a little bit of bread but not the amount in a bread bowl, asked for some bread, and got a sizable amount of sourdough warm toasted drizzled wish olive oil for $1.50 Super chill place for a yummy lunch

Ordering system is slightly disorganized (you essentially walk up to the counter, staff ignore you, you think you're in the wrong place, then someone acknowledges you to redirect you to the ordering counter but doesn't take your order), but the food is great. I got a clam chowder cup (they were out of bread bowls unfortunately), but it was delicious and perfect for a cold rainy day: thick, piping hot, and super savory. Would definitely come again to try their sandwiches! Appreciate that they have a decent amount of indoor and outdoor seating too, and the casual atmosphere means a table is bound to clear out by the time you're done ordering and pick up your food.

Good place to get tomato soup to warm up by the waters in Sausalito. I got the tomato soup cup (price: $8.95, including tax (9.25%): $9.78) and it was very delicious. They added for some courteous and cheese on top which was a nice touch. This tomato soup is not as creamy as other ones I've had. It's more a vegetable soup broth consistency, but it's just as enjoyable. I came in on a Saturday in November and there wasn't any line to order, so I was able to order quickly and my food came out shortly after. Since there wasn't that many people I managed to get a table and had a nice view of the Sausalito waters! The inside feels like a speciality Italian grocery store. It reminds me of another Italian grocery/sandwich shop I used to visit and it feels very cozy. They have a counter where you can order food like sandwiches, salads, and soups. They have many tables inside as well as outside. Parking: It was a bit difficult to find parking in Sausalito downtown, since many of the lots were full. We managed to get a spot after another car pulled out. It was a paid lot (through ParkMobile I believe).

After visiting the bridge, we decided to continue our bike ride to Sausalito. It's such a cute spot with so many places to eat and this place seemed pretty popular so we decided to give it a go. We locked our bikes a little ways down the street and headed to the deli. We ordered at the counter and they gave us a number. We walked around the shop to look at all the fun snacks, paid at the side counter, and then waited a few more minutes for our sandwiches. There are a few tables inside but we lucked out and grabbed one of the tables outside. I tried the Sausalito turkey sandwich on a sourdough roll which hit the spot. Fresh and filling. Perfect fuel for the bike ride back to San Francisco.

Food was amazing and I would definitely come back.. however I give it four stars because the bread for my bread bowl was rock solid.. bite into it the wrong way and your gums will start bleeding. The clam chowder itself was just okay. Next time, I'll stick with a sandwich. Seating is very scarce when busy so plan to take it to go!
