The Butcher’s Son Vegan Delicatessen & Bakery

A great spot for both lunch and dinner.

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.

this is my favorite restaurant in the whole wide world. i would die for the mac salad. i have dreams of it and think of it 24/7. me and my boyfriend get the panko crusted shrimp every time (with ranch) and our go-to entree is the ruben (he is obsessed with it). i also love the loaded fries they have and we always get the mango lassi. my boyfriend isnt a big fan of the buffalo chicken sandwich (he didnt like the chicken) or the BBQ brisket (he didnt like the onions or char on the “brisket”. HOWEVER i enjoyed both and i honestly really liked the bbq brisket. hes also gotten the lobster roll and he likes it. ive gotten the steak and cheese sandwich which was good but not my favorite thing but my boyfriend liked it. however everyone has their own preferences and you should give everything on the menu a fair shot. also for reference my boyfriend isnt vegan but butchers son is one of his favorite restaurants. the chefs are amazing and are very kind. ive also met a co-owner who told me a little about the restaurant and i love the story behind my favorite restaurant.

Completely delicious vegan food. Staff are wonderfully friendly and hard working

Great service and great selection of entrees/sandwiches.

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

We’ve been regulars for a couple of years and the staff even memorized our favorite orders. There is something on the menu for everyone and I also love the frozen dishes that I can prepare at home.

Awesome food!!!!

As a vegetarian, I found the food pretty bland. The employee recommended the lobster roll, and it wasn't very flavorful nor worth the price. The mac salad also was bland - I added salt. And it wasn't even full in the container.

We love the come here for brunch, as it’s one of the few vegan brunch spots around. We love sitting on the back patio in the sun. The food is always great and they are very accommodating with various substitutions/alterations. I always have to get a cannoli when they’re available!
