Sandwich Shops near Altadena

“My awarding of four stars was done sometime ago. It sure wasn't a four-star experience this time. They had three employees there, two of whom were futsing around with one of the drink machines while the remaining employee tried her best to take care of everyone standing in line for sandwiches. She was rushing and rushing to try to keep the line moving, but it really was too much for one person to be expected to do. Finally, just as I got to the counter, one of the other two employees came to the sandwich counter to help. The worst thing, though, was the temperature. The restaurant was extremely hot and despite fans turning up on the very high ceiling, there was virtually no air movement. The thermostat on the wall showed 89°. It was a very uncomfortable environment for everyone, but especially the employees who were rushing around in that heat.“

“Being from Australia visiting los angeles I've read the reviews about this place And thought I would give it a go and guess what they were right best Pork Ba Mi I ever had the gentleman on the door was very accommodating and friendly would go here again anytime without a doubt also very reasonably priced 😉“

“Great sandwiches. Fresh ingredients.“

“The best old school sandwich place. A La Canada OG that has spanned generations in our valley. I moved away but miss these delicious sandwiches made with love.“

“Love to start my day with fresh orange juice and bagels here. Staff is welcoming and cheerful“

“Fresh, great quality food. Crispy chicken and tender beef. I got the Italian Beef with white american paired perfectly with au jus. Wife got the two piece chicken (seasoned well) and waffles and of course I stole a bite. Will definitely be coming back.“

“The pastrami dip at The Hat is legendary, and for good reason. The portions are massive, and the meat is juicy and tender. The fries are also ridiculously large—enough to share with two or three people. The place has a no-frills, diner-like feel. It’s indulgent comfort food at its best“

“I’ve been here quite a few times and always enjoy it. The place gets busy around lunch and dinner, sometimes with a line out the door. You can tell it’s a family-run spot and that they put a lot of effort into it. Definitely worth supporting.“

“Very few non-vegan restaurants have vegan mayo and cheese, so I was thrilled to be able to order a sandwich. Far from fancy, but a nice place for a sandwich and chit chat with friends, either sitting inside or outside. Parking lot is free for first 90 minutes. My family loved the fresh-baked non-vegan cookies for dessert and even bought extra to take home!“

“Magnífico lugar para comer!! Excelente servicio Jessica, Jessenia y todos los que trabajan son grandiosos.“

“You will never get a sub quite as lovely as these. I don’t know why they’re so good, maybe fresh bread and fresh ingredients IDK but Turkey extra chili is my fave!! Mom loves Milanesa and the fried sides are YUMM too! I learned how to make my voice heard at the old little market. The big construction men at lunch time would be shouting out their orders. I was 11 years old and had to shout my order too!! Been a patron since 1982!!“

“Good service and great food“

“Bathroom was clean and smelled good despite the frequent traffic. I have never had anything but pastramis and fries from the hat but the turkey burger was recommended by my aunt.

I am not a fan of turkey or turkey burgers but I tried it anyway. It was delicious and juicy. Probably the best burger I’ve had all year.“

“Super friendly service and they always remember your face. With me they always remembers what I order. Way delicious sandwiches. Condiments and well drinks not to be rivaled. Smack in the middle of Pasadena near Sierra Madre on Colorado. Enjoy!“

“I always get the Market Chicken sandwitch and for $10 you really cannot beat it; the bacon is so flavorful and the chicken is well seasoned, the arugula and sauce add the perfect amount of freshness. The line can get crazy at lunchtime but they are pretty quick with orders and stuff.“

“I stopped by Mike’s Deli in DTLA on my way to Union Station, and I’m glad I did! While the store itself isn’t flashy at all, they do produce some extremely good sandwiches.

The girl working at the counter was very friendly and welcoming. I ordered a Mike’s Deli #1, which is essentially a spicy version of a turkey avocado sandwich. The sandwich was super fresh and bursting with flavor.

Really, every aspect of this sandwich was memorable, and the meat-to-vegetable-to-bread ratio was on point. The bread was very fluffy and nice, too.

It’s an d-school, simple deli that doesn’t stand out cosmetically, but it’s clean, welcoming, and they pump out some top-tier deli sandwiches at reasonable prices.“

“One of the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had. The pastrami, the bun is all amazing. I unfortunately don't live near one so I have to grab it when I'm driving by. Unfortunately I have no pictures because I immediately started eating it the moment I brought it to the table. 🤣“

“*UPDATE* We relocated to Wisconsin and every time one of flys home a Mr. G's from here is an absolute must. My wife just brought me back a Mr. G's (she did it right and got everything on the side that wasn't meat and cheese) and it was still the best Sandwhich I've ever had. It's truly that good. Their dressing is a masterpiece. Their pickles must be hand delivered from heaven. EVERYTHING about this Sandwhich is next level. There truly is nothing else like it!“

“Absolutely amazing! I was in town for work, and looking for some good food. Their food is made with natural ingredients and tastes amazing! The people are friendly and helpful. The bread in their sandwiches and subs is made by a non supplier bakery, so it tastes fresh and amazing, unlike chain pizza places! Would definitely recommend!“

“I got the pork belly and side the couscous it was delicious.. yummy 😋“

“Was feeling hungry after getting labs done and stumbled upon this place by chance. I am so happy that I did because the sandwiches are AMAZING!! Me and my partner got “The Godmother”, Prosciutto & Fig, with a homemade sparkling lemonade. All three were absolutely fantastic and mouth watering, it all tasted so fresh! The size of the sandwiches had me so surprised by how good the prices here are! The woman that helped us was also super friendly and attentive. This place is a must if you’re in the area and craving a sandwich that is really good quality!! 🤩“

“My favorite sandwich shop in SGV! My all time favorite is the Pastrami & Swiss Melt on the Marble Rye bread. They have great customer service & a large selection of food items 🤤“

“Sandwiches are the best here lol I know it’s donut factory. The donuts are good, but the sandwiches are 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽 I usually get the #12 Turkey croissant. The ratio of meat and veggies and pickles and jalapeño really make the sandwich. Great neighborhood spot. Gets busy during peak brekkie and lunch hours.“

“Awesome food will definitely return!“

“Today, well it was the day before Christmas & all thru the city at Mendocino Farms, parked next Brisbane Box tree, ate a Farm Club sandwich with 11 route BBQ chips, healthy green drink, well a kale salad was a lunch before Christmas eve, today at Mendocino Farms......“

“My husband and I stopped by after seeing Eddie Izzard's Hamlet right down the street. I got the Damon Bruce and my husband got thr Hollywoo. Both were fantastic (though I tried both and think i picked best). The dirty sauce was surprisingly sweet, and the only complaint I have is that it was sweeter than I would have liked. Did not stop me from devouring the deliciousness, though. I will be back if I am in the area again.“

“Happened to be walking by this place is pretty god damn good

For cold days the chicken noodle soup is good

And the sandwich is perfect for hot days

They have large selection of boba.

I feel like the sandwich could use a little more chicken but it was still good.

Rare to see these little hidden gems in LÁ.“

“I am a fan favorite of Lee’s especially the banh mi and iced coffee. When I moved back to Cali I was excited to see how many Lee’s there are through expansion. However I have been disappointed with ALL of them except for the one in Pasadena. Always great service, the bread is always soft with great texture (not stale), plenty of meat. Other Lee’s give and embarrassing amount of meat. Lee’ Pasadena I will always drive extra to come see you.“

“This is probably the best tuna sandwich I've ever had in my life. I never want to have any other tuna sandwich as long as I live.

The owner is a very nice and friendly person. I love all the artwork in the facility. Every time I visit this part of town I'm going to go here“

“I been here twice had the turkey sandwich on slice bagel bread the 1st time and the 2nd time I had the tune on slice bagel bread and the mango tea. so far I love this place everything nice and clean and excellent customer service. I will be back.“

“Mendocino Farms is in a beautiful, easy to spot location right off the main road, and the space itself feels modern and welcoming. It’s a little on the pricier side, but the quality definitely makes up for it. I ordered takeout and was impressed that everything still tasted fresh and delicious by the time I got home. The menu has lots of lighter, healthier options, which I really appreciate. I tried the Peruvian steak sandwich and it was so flavorful and satisfying easily a new favorite. Great service and tasty food overall. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more!“

“I always enjoy going to Subway, I find their sandwiches to be flesh and tasty, Yesterday I tried their tuna salad for the very first time and was delicious. The employees take great care in preparing the sandwiches.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Mendocino Farms! I tried the salad and sandwich, and both were absolutely great—so fresh, flavorful, and high-quality. It is easily one of my favorite spots for a delicious and satisfying meal. I’ll definitely be coming back for more!“

“Sooo This is definitely the closest thing to a NYC NJ Bagel Deli Sandwich shop I’ve been to in LA the staff was perfect the music he feel the store it’s self so perfect I can’t believe this be been out here for 3 months and this gem of a store has been hiding right here this entire time everything fresh you gotta stop by“

“FYI…description for Philly cheesesteak reflects turkey sandwich on website site so I mistakenly ordered Philly but wanted the turkey. I normally wouldn’t order the Philly but it was yummy. Definitely recommend and look forward to trying the turkey next time.“

“Had the best experience here a few days ago, the staff were so friendly. The customer service was excellent I was having a horrible day and two workers heaven and Yvonne really cheered me up and got my order out as fast as they could and they even threw in a few goodies. Highly recommend this location, food is great and so is the service!!“

“Great sandwiches. I especially enjoyed the atmosphere and the great service from the owner. A+ for customer service. The gentleman was exceptional. Don’t get quality service like that anymore. Would definitely recommend supporting this sandwich shop. We’ll be back! 🙌🏼“

“My friend brought me a sandwich from here for lunch today and it was UNBELIEVABLY good!!! WOW <3 =)“

“My new go to place for banh mi! They're open until pretty late for a banh mi place, which I appreciated when I needed to grab some sandwiches at 8:30 pm for a late dinner.

They offer a buy 2 get 1 free deal for the round bread banh mi. One is $6.25 so when you order two and get one free, it comes out to be about $4 each. The sandwiches I've gotten so far (grilled pork and grilled beef) are the most stuffed I've seen in a round banh mi!

I couldn't leave without trying their egg rolls and pate chaud. They're $1.30 each or 3 pieces for $3.75. Solid egg rolls and pate chaud.

Parking in this supermarket plaza can be a little crazy. Park towards the side to avoid the traffic.“

“Driving between Palm Springs and Los Angeles? We plan the whole trip around this …

Have a special combo bahn mi at Tip Top Sandwiches in Rosemead. Their fresh spring rolls, pho and Vietnamese coffee are killer too! And never leave without a fresh $3 French baguette.“

“This is one of those local gem mom and pop restaurants that everyone loves. Great sandwiches, great onion rings and good prices. The restaurant itself it a little dated and the owners say very little, but the food speaks for itself. I've been coming here since I was a kid and will continue coming until I no longer can.

Parking: Free parking but limited parking spaces.“

“I love this place !! I so enjoy the regular and the sesame seeds baguettes; the seeds give a delicious taste. Don't believe me. Try it. Their chicken sandwich has vegetables. The perfect size and the right amount of protein and veggies. Ah, I almost forgot to tell you, they have earned an A. Their employees are mostly elderly women. I love supporting them. 👏👏“

“Amazing sandwiches, I got the Cheese Steak on Dutch Crunch. I used to think Jersey Mikes had the best sandwiches but this is a game changer. The restaurant was very clean and the employees were very kind. Only issue is the parking is challenging.“

“Very yummy sandwich place full of unique combinations! I also love how they have the skinny bread option. That way I could indulge in my birthday bundt cake too 😋 great staff and always get my orders right which Is a large pet peeve of mine when ordering take out.“

“Excellent bahn mi! Pictured is the classic cold cut sandwich that comes with a deliciously salty sauce on the side. The bread is the ideal texture of crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. If you love bahn mis, this place will not disappoint! The staff is also very friendly.“

“Shout out to Louie for caring about customer service on Thursday night March 18. Nice to see you care about Jersey Mike's image. Great job Louie!“

“Lolita’s on Rosemead in El Monte is always a solid choice, but their shrimp burritos on Sundays are on another level. All of their food is consistently good—fresh, flavorful, and well-made—but those Sunday shrimp burritos are easily the star of the menu. They’re packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and definitely worth stopping by for. If you’re in the area and want something delicious, Lolita’s never disappoints.“

“Love the sandwiches. By far better than Subway, Quiznos, and my beloved Jersey Mikes. Sorry Jersey Mikes, Jimmy Johns won my taste buds and my co-workers. Psst... Jimmy Johns, can I get a #11 no lettuce add cucumbers? You know who I am at the usps!“

“Not only they have the best employees and kiwi lemonade/cooler, the sandwiches are on Mom n bub's bread, made with love and humanity. Also, if your judgy, a hater and racist( as the soup Nazi would say) NO SAMMY FOR YOU BABY!😎😋😋😉😉“

“For me this is one of the best sub places out there, top 3 in the country, I like the Gragantuan with 5 different meats, and you can get the 16 inch bread, cant really beat that paired with a bag of chips, this place is accessible to my as its on my way to work, I wish they would have more space inside to create a better experience and atmopshere if I wanted to eat at the location, usually just take it out and eat at car or home, still cant beat the flavor, staff is always friendly here“
