West Coast Sourdough is a fast-casual restaurant franchise serving sandwiches on sourdough bread, soups, salads, and other freshly prepared meals. Customers can order sandwiches, enjoy soups served in sourdough bread bowls, or choose salads for dine-in and takeout.

The concept developed in Northern California around sourdough bread produced by a Bay Area bakery. Its bread uses a starter originating from a mother dough dating to 1995. The restaurants bake bread throughout the day and prepare sandwiches with sliced meats and fresh vegetables.

West Coast Sourdough later established a franchising company in Sacramento, California, and began offering franchises in 2021. The brand continues to focus on sourdough-based meals, with catering, pickup, and delivery services available to customers.
