| - Newer to South Oakland, Frenchi's is a gem. Not only a functional convenience store, Frenchi's offers an assortment of cheap, tasty deli sandwiches, salads, paninis, and wraps. Definitely not a place to attend if you're on a diet, as sandwiches are stacked high with heavy meats, cheeses and dressings. Pick a bag of chips, and Frenchi will add those to your sandwich as well.
Part of the Frenchi's experience is interacting with Frenchi himself. The deli's owner is almost always on site, chipperly chatting with customers and asking for tips on how he can make his business more appealing and accessible to college students. It's refreshing to see a business owner so engaged in fostering a community around his food.
While a Frenchi's sandwich won't make you skinny, they're a delicious choice for a game day, or drunk snacking. The signature "Le Frenchi" is one of my top Oakland picks to munch on a night out.
