The other coast now has a location downtown, they are also offering box lunches and will deliver to your office. I have turned my office on to them so we are now ordering at least once a week....no more having to go to Ballard during my lunch hour. They have the best sandwiches in the city by FAR

I'm a big fan of the chicken parm sandwich! I wish they delivered.

Since Seattle is more about teriyaki and burritos than sandwiches, this place is good to visit if you can't afford (or do not wish to) fly to the land of drippy Reubens. The huge sandwiches are an assault on the senses, so one visit lasts me a few months. A nice place to round out a trip to the Sunday farmer's market. Factoid: Sunset magazine included a little write up on this place not long ago.

Located in Ballard, the Other Coast is Seattle's finest deli and sandwich shop in my humble opinion. If you've got bright ideas for worthy competitors, by all means comment on this review as I'm a big fan of made-to-order sandwiches. Anyway, the Other Coast's sandwich that keeps me coming back again and again is the Rajin Cajin. It's hot chicken sandwich served on a crusty fresh roll (I think). It's cheesy and messy due to the tangy sauce (some sort of a mayonnaise derivative) applied liberally on the sandwich. I've had others there as well that are quite good but I always come back to the RJ. The Other Coast is worth a side trip if you're craving a big and tastey deli sandwich. There's often a line so be prepared to wait a little bit (no more than 5 minutes) for your order. The staff there is young, cool, and friendly so show the love and give them a tip if you feel the service warrants it.

I am from N.J. and my parents are from New York City (where I spent a lot of time growing up). For anyone who has had "New York Deli," you know the sandwiches are amazing. Delicious bread, fresh cold cuts - and the sandwiches are HUGE. No offense to the Seattle deli's, but I struggled to find a place that even came close to making such a great sandwich. Finally, a friend introduced me to the Other Coast Cafe and I fell in love. The sandwiches are FABULOUS and do remind me of New York Style sandwiches. There slogan is "East Coast Sandwiches Built with a Northwest Attitude" and that is exactly what they are. It is a bit pricey for sandwiches, but it is because they are so big and made very fresh. If you go to a deli on Broadway in New York, you will pay $25 for 1 sandwich so the Other Cafe is cheap compared to that. It is a small place and they do not have much seating - so I always prefer takeout. If you want to check it out, the website is http://www.othercoastcafe.com.

The Other Coast Cafe - as in the way East Coasters refer to the West Coast. This is an east coast style sandwich shop, whatever that means. I do know that it has the best sandwich menu in Seattle, including a secret weapon they call the "Rajun Cajun". Don't worry, it's nothing like an atomic pepper at dante's inferno. People who know Ballard have kept this to themselves for years and its just not right. Thank you judysbook for spreading the word about this great place.
