The Butcher’s Son Vegan Delicatessen & Bakery

6/19/2025 For the 2nd time I got the gyro sandwich without lettuce on gyro flatbread and got more onions than usual plus i was given extra tziki sauce I told my mom that Weird Al goes to Butcher's daughter in LA. I surmised Weird AL was a vegan by the 1989 album and movie soundtrack in UHF where Weird Al says that eggs are liquid chickens implying that Weird Al is vegan. I saw there were three quiches cooked and on the counter. This time I noticed the carafe that says TIMELESS COFFEE on it and it reminded to get the vegan cross aints on Piedmont Ave in Oakland at the Timeless Coffee just around the corner from where I live. I finally got to eat here and got the pickles and fried chicken sandwich. The cafeteria burger pickles were too chewy and salty for me, next time I would eat them on the side. I should have let the sandwich cool down because I couldn't really taste the flavors and all that sauce. I want to eat it again soon! The chicken Parm sandwich is big enough for 2. There is plenty of setting in back of the restaurant in the courtyard shared with a neighboring restaurant. hello Reginice I'll like your review if you like my review. I can't add more photos from today of my gyro sandwhich with be'ef instead of chick'n. Actually I noticed that you got 2 stars out of 5 and i feel this rating is rude and unappreciative even elitist given that this is in Berkeley near a famous public uni. Not all restaurants have really good everything on the menu is not equally good. The cheezesticks you will just have to wait until the inventor of vegan cheeze that melts the way we want it to for pizza comes out of west Africa Senegal I believe. Your mom was super silly to not order something else. Of course the chick'n pieces for your moms salad wasn't going to be that good. Obviously you should have ordered something else or asked more questions instead of being like that. Okay its Juneteenth and I have to write a letter to my friend Stewie and the food camper trailer to go vegan veganize so they can sell more orders. We are in solidarity as vegan restaurants for the most part. Eating rabbit food isn't my thing so I'm thankful for mocks meats. And I don't have a car to shuttle myself around to get here easy peasy unlike some people

Amazing vegan food! Stopped here twice in one weekend as we were visiting from Toronto, the food is so good and the portions are huge! Our favourite ended up being the big fat Greek sandwich but all were delicious especially the garlic fries. Can’t wait to come back!

Solid vegan eats, with a large variety of fun and exciting options like fish bites, lobster roll, garlic parm fries, and chicken parm sandwich. Overall as a carnivore, I did enjoy my meal and would recommend everyone give these fun meat alternatives a try.

Love this all vegan sandwich place! pricey ( like everything else these days ) but worthy indulgence once in a while. tried pastrami Rueben was phenomenal. The jackfruit sandwich was just ok. kale salad with Jackfruit was good but my absolute favorite is the pastrami Reuben!

This place is a vegan’s paradise! My go-to brunch and lunch place for the weekend in Berkeley! Can’t say enough good things. The vegan steak and egg sandwich on a hoagie roll is probably my favorite item on the menu (but I’ve never had anything I didn’t like here). The Reuben sandwich is also top notch, but on the richer side (taste wise). Basically, everything is good…just go…try it for yourself…and become just as obsessed! Also worth noting, they had a ton of case items that you can buy for home. Everything from desserts, sauces, snacks, vegan meats, and vegan cheese. They even carry the Climax vegan blue cheese that made headlines for causing disruption in the dairy blue cheese market. They have plenty of indoor seating as well as a beautiful private patio in the rear of the building. The staff do a great job of keeping the place clean and I’ve always left satisfied.

I recently visited a vegan deli in Berkeley. Their plant-based Reuben sandwich was a revelation—savory, satisfying, and indistinguishable from its traditional counterpart. The ambiance was casual and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. However, the wait time during peak hours was longer than expected, and seating was somewhat limited. Despite these minor inconveniences, the quality and taste of the food made it a memorable experience

Absolutely delicious all veggie menu, with free coffee to boot! The veggie meat and sandwiches have wonderful flavor, the pickles are excellent, and the service is fast! The portion sizes are large and very filling so you’ll definitely have leftovers to finish later.
