If your lunch break has a hard stop — a meeting at 1:00, a shift on the floor, a call you can’t be late for — the last thing you want is a 20-minute round trip for food. That’s the exact problem The Sandwich Maker is built to solve for anyone working near Netflix’s Los Gatos campus or inside the University Avenue office and medical corridor.
Inside the Office Complex, Not Down the Road
The Sandwich Maker operates from 987 University Ave #38 — physically inside the University Avenue Office Complex, the same building cluster that houses local businesses and medical offices. It has served, in its own words, as the unofficial cafeteria for that community for years. For anyone working in the complex, or commuting through the area toward Netflix’s Los Gatos offices, that means lunch doesn’t require a car at all — just a short walk.
Built for a Short Lunch Window
The hours reflect exactly who this kitchen serves: Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, closed weekends. There’s no dinner service, no weekend crowd to compete with — just a kitchen tuned to the weekday office lunch rush.
Ordering ahead through the direct online link matters most here. Skip the in-person wait, order from your desk, and pick up on your own schedule:

What to Order on a Tight Schedule
For a fast, no-fuss lunch that travels well back to a desk or a car, the deli counter is the most straightforward option:
- The Monterey — $11.75
- The Traditional — $12.95
- The Grilled Chicken — $12.95
- The Californian — $12.95
For something with a bit more flavor payoff on a slightly longer break, the bánh mì counter travels just as well:
- Grilled Pork Baguette/Bánh Mì — $12.95
- Shredded Chicken Baguette/Bánh Mì — $12.95
Pair either with chips ($2.25) and a bottled water or Gatorade to round out a full lunch under $20.
Group Orders for Office Meetings
Beyond individual lunches, The Sandwich Maker also handles catering for office meetings and gatherings, with bulk sandwich trays and box lunches — useful if you’re the one tasked with feeding a conference room instead of just yourself. Ordering through the direct platform allows a full multi-item order to be built and submitted at once for pickup.
Why This Beats a Delivery App
For a short lunch break, minutes matter more than convenience-app markups. Ordering direct through The Sandwich Maker’s own platform means no added service fees and priority handling on pickup timing — the order goes straight to the kitchen instead of sitting in a third-party queue.
