| - I am so unclear why Eat Unique doesn't have a better average rating because this place has always blown my palate away. You can tell the ingredients are fresh; the combinations are clever and full of flavor; and I haven't ordered anything that wasn't extremely delicious (or soggy). I think this place blows Panera away in terms of variety, taste, and price. The wedding soup is especially amazing - it never needs cheese, salt, and/or pepper.
And I have to say - if you're complaining about WAITING 15 minutes for a sandwich that does have MEAT on it, then GO TO MICKEY D'S! It blows my mind that people get mad at waiting for FRESH FOOD! Guess what? FRESH FOOD takes longer than 30 seconds to zap in a microwave! If you want your radon with that sandwich, again, you can go find that crap on any corner. It is called "Eat Unique"; not "Eat Like All The Other Corporate Franchises." If you want your 5-minute wait for a foot long - you don't need me to tell you where to go.
That being said, the grilled chicken pesto sandwich is my #1 favorite and order it most often (pesto - the blending of basil, pine nuts, and garlic; if you want your mayo, again go somewhere else). But their veggie sandwich or wrap is also heaven.
The only gripe I have is that it's on Craig St right in between Forbes and Fifth; which makes it very difficult to find parking if you're ordering to go. But I can only knock a star off for that because the food is too good....I'll drive around the block a few times if I have to!
If you're a real foodie, and you're in Oakland, pass up LuLus noodles and go across the street to Eat Unique for real food.
