Lou's Cafe is a sandwich shop with locations scattered around San Francisco, including this one in Parkside. The menu covers classic and more inventive subs along with soups, salads, espresso, and snacks, with options big enough to fill two blackboards or build your own from scratch.
The tuna melt on dutch crunch, served with a swipe of house sauce and jalapeño spread, is a standout on a menu built around that same dutch crunch bread. Seating is limited to a handful of tables, and most orders go out the door rather than staying to eat in.
The sandwiches have built a loyal following across the mini-chain, with regulars treating it as a habitual stop and lines considered a normal part of the experience.
