The Saint
Italian sandwiches built from Acme bread and Boar's Head provisions
Laurel, Oakland
About This Place
The Saint operates out of a small storefront on MacArthur Boulevard with a straightforward mission: build sandwiches using ingredients that actually matter. They source Acme Bread from Berkeley, pair it with specialty meat and cheese from Boar's Head Provisions, and stock whatever produce is fresh that day. It's the kind of place where the supply chain is visible in what lands on your plate.
The operation runs a tight schedule, staying closed Mondays and keeping limited hours the rest of the week (11am to 3pm Tuesday through Thursday, extending to 4pm on weekends). They've partnered with Temescal Brewery to rotate seasonal local beers on tap, which means you can actually drink something worth ordering alongside whatever you're eating. If you need sandwiches for a larger gathering, they handle catering.
