Al's Deli is truly a gem. It's not that noticeable if you happen to be on Noyes Street, but once you find it, you'll keep coming back. They have sandwiches on baguette, croissant or other breads. My favorite is the baguette. They use really high quality cheese and meats so they don't need lots of crazy toppings like other sandwich places have. Unless you're really hungry, you'll only need a half sandwich. The soup and 1/2 sandwich combo is a good deal and their soups are delicious. Oh and the chocolate chip cookies are to die for! It can get crowded there especially on weekends sometimes and they close early but it is worth making the effort to get there.
