Nothing quite beats a classic sandwich. With infinite possibilities for what goes inside, we know the best place to start is with some freshly baked bread. The 2024 readers’ choice Best of the County winner is Michael’s Sourdough Sandwiches (pictured above). For the rest of the Marin Magazine‘s Best of Marin County Sandwich picks see below.

Sausalito
Stationed in the New Bait Shop Market, Davey Jones Deli offers house-roasted sandwich meats, healthier condiments and organic vegetables; the deli serves generously-sized sandwiches, wraps and salads with vegetarian, vegan and meat-lover options. The shop stays open late, too, for those nights when you need a sandwich and a soda ’round midnight.

Located right on Miller, Antone’s East Coast Club Shop boats “true East Coast subs” by a family that knows how. Try one of their classic Italian sausage, pastrami, veggie, or chicken parm sandwiches.

Michael’s Sourdough Sandwiches
Novato
The bread is made on site and is said to have magical qualities. Fans return over and over to the San Rafael and Novato locations for their faves, ordered by number, then swoon over the huge sandos piled with meat, cheese and enough shredded lettuce to ooze out the sides and onto your lap.
42 Digital Dr, #8, 415.883.5110
Western Marin
Hog Island Oyster Co.
Marshall
Although this full-service outdoor cafe at the Hog Island Oyster Farm is known for its salty half-shells, their always fresh menu sometimes offers mouthwatering seafood sandwiches to pair with its Tomales Bay views. Their sister restaurant Tony’s Seafood especially plays into these sandwich possibilities, and its current menu offers po-boys and artisan grilled cheeses in addition to impeccable raw and BBQ oysters, salads and small plates.
