The fast-growing West Coast sourdough chain has opened its first sandwich shop in San Jose, and renovations are underway for a location within the Willow Glen neighborhood.
For its first foray into the South Bay, the corporate selected a location within the San Jose Market Center on Coleman Avenue.
In Willow Glen, the previous Old Republic Title Co. space on Meridian Avenue next to Starbucks is being converted right into a sandwich shop. No estimated opening date has been announced.
The warm rolls have a crispy outside and a soft inside. So far, the chicken and turkey French dip and pesto creations have been popular at the brand new Coleman shop.
In addition to the sandwiches, there are side dishes that customers can order in cup, bowl or bread tray sizes. Clam chowder, tomato bisque and mac & cheese (white cheddar, parmesan) can be found each day. Rotating soups include chicken and poblano pepper (Monday and Friday); vegan-friendly Fire Roasted Vegetables (Tuesday); Chicken Noodles (Wednesday); Cream of potatoes with bacon (Thursday and Sunday); and broccoli cream (Saturday).
The five salad options are Caesar, Cobb, Greek, Italian and Southwest Chicken.
Founded in 2020, West Coast Sourdough already has about 40 locations within the Central Valley, from Bakersfield north to Chico, in addition to Bay Area stores in Walnut Creek, Fremont and Rohnert Park. Several more are within the works across California.
