50 Best Sandwich Shops near East Palo Alto

“Never had it before and it was very delicious!! Great staff, greeted with smiles and efficient, quality service!!“

“Pricey. But very high-quality. Had a CHICKEN CHOLULA, very tasty, a little bit spicy, enjoyed it. If you get the clam chowder (which is great), they’ll give you toasted pieces of sourdough with it. But if you rather have soft instead of toasted pieces of sourdough, just ask them.“

“Amazing sandwiches and bread!!!!“

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.“

“Overall, they make a delicious sandwich. The bread is absolutely fantastic and they use fresh ingredients. I got the number 14 Italian and while it was a good sandwich. It really did not taste like an Italian to me. It was a nice version of an Italian sandwich, but it was nothing like the classic. They use a sauce and don’t have oil and vinegar on it.“

“Best breakfast burrito I've had in a long time, flavor explosion. Also amazing selection of drinks, had a smooth white mocha. Good for kids too but only a few tables in there, so not for big parties. Would recommend for parties of 1-3 people, unless you order to go of course.“

“Favorite place in the area!! Lou’s Cafe is an awesome neighborhood joint. Great breakfast sandwiches at really good prices and super nice crowd. We love the ultimate sammie and the southwestern omelette. Can always count on a good morning at Lou’s!“

“Food is great’ ! Fast service. The Chili is very good. I had the la Ensenada sandwich and it was absolutely amazing!! Will definitely return!! I rate this a 10 out of 5 :)“

“This quaint little gem boasts of an array of cheeses and charcuterie. Their sandwiches are one of the tastiest with ingredients of the highest quality!!“

“Great, friendly service! Food was yummy too!“

“My family and I just recently went to Sourdough and had a great experience. The staff were very welcoming and very patient with our group. The restaurant itself was very clean. Tables were brand new with cool designs. The atmosphere was also very respectful and peaceful.

Food was also very exceptional for the price. I had the grilled chicken sandwich. The meat was very tender and overall very good. Others in our group that are vegetarian were also very pleased with their meals. The Caprese sandwich and the ttomato bisque with the side of bread were very popular. The cookies though shouldn't be overlooked. They were very soft and delicious. If you come here you have to give the cookies a try.“

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.“

“Kareoke is fun there and it started back today and every Thursday. Food and service is great.“

“Best sandwiches! The garlic sauce makes the sandwich. The avocado is so fresh!“

“Awesome sandwiches and very friendly service ! The ruben was delish and the broccoli cheddar soup good also ! Will definitely go back again ! I forgot my pickle though, darn ! Was chatting so much with the friendly lady up front, I totally forgot to make sure they gave it to me ! Oh well, next time ! I'm hoping business is good for them and they can stay for a long time !“

“In July, I placed a large catering order through DoorDash for our company because we absolutely love Mendocino Farms. Unfortunately, the order was unexpectedly cancelled the night before our Board of Directors meeting, which was incredibly stressful.

Thankfully, General Manager Adam Rivera came to the rescue! He personally took my order the next morning and had everything prepared and ready to go within just three hours. His professionalism, responsiveness, and outstanding customer service completely turned the situation around—I went from stressed out to doing a happy dance!

On top of that, the food was fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with our team. A big thank you to Adam and Mendocino Farms team for going above and beyond—you truly saved the day!“

“Love ALL of the menu options and seasonal baked goods! Specialty's is the best. You can order in advance and pick up your order or enjoy it there.

Peet's coffee bar inside the restaurant. My two worlds collide!“

“You didn't know this before but if you like lunch or enjoy food you should eat here.

First time diner, long time consumer. I made a rookie mistake while ordering the vegetarian sandwich on sourdough. French or dutch crunch roll is recommended. Said I was open to suggestions. Then we added avocado, fresh jalapeno, tapatio, and a side of fries.

I ate half the fries and the smaller cut of the sandwich. I'm excited to be hungry again in about two hours.“

Will definitely come back more often!“

“Small interior at this Mendocino Farms location in Redwood City, as it seems the majority business is take-outs for the office workers in the vicinity. Easy ordering process, but service could be slow during the peak lunch hours. The three salads we tried were all pretty good, and just the right portions. Large free parking lot.“

“Owner was super sweet! Has been there for 18 years. Not only was the owner amazing but the sandwiches were amazing too. It was like heaven in my mouth almost knocked me out of my seat. Amazing!!!! A sandwich made with love. Lol I promise you won't regret stopping by!“

“This is my favorite togos to go to. It has been a staple in sunnyvale for over 20 years. The staff is always super friendly and they make the sandwiches exactly like you want them. The ingredients are always fresh and it satisfies me every time I eat it.“

“I’m work on my first day of Erik DeliCafe check out Show me tour“

“I am so glad they opened this sandwich spot! I ordered 5 items for takeout and it came out to only $34. I got 2 veggie sandwiches on Dutch crunch. Best sandwiches in San Mateo County. I also tried their 2 dessert options. They have the bst carrot cake I have ever had! Their chocolate chip cookie tasted very rich. I had their veggie soup which was fresh and delicious. This place is my new go to spot. The location is a little awkward, but the inside is organized and clean. It only took 10 minutes to make my order. Definitely a satisfied customer!!!“

“Delicious, smokey flavor, tender beef, soft bread and the root beer was delicious! a bit pricey, but well worth it! 😊“

“We usually had our go-to sandwich spots, but we wanted to try something new. We ordered from DoorDash, and it was made quickly. The staff was friendly, the location was clean and organized, and the food was delivered to go. The sandwiches were a good size, the bread was fresh, and the overall taste was good. We plan on going more often since we did a DoorDash pickup. I know we payed more, but I’ll review the menu prices next time and order in person.“

“Best Vietnamese sandwiches and super friendly staff!“

“I went in today and I must say the type of customer service I got was amazing!!! Didn’t get her name but was a short Hispanic lady!! She went above and beyond to help me find some jalapeños chips(she went to the back to check) also her attitude was just amazing!!!“

“Been supporting this place most of my teens and college years, I recommend this place to anyone looking for a lot of variety such as , pho , Banh Mi , snacks , drinks and anyone looking for ready to go food. Come early sometimes lines can be long. Expect delays too , sometimes they are short staff and get help from security which really is a great help to them.“

“This place was great. No frills counter service but what matters is the sandwich and this was very good. Banh mis in general have hit another level in pricing in the bay but if ur paying that u want a meaty sandwich and this was that. Well balanced and the all important bread was spot on. This place deserves a lot more business.“

“Chai is great, tastes basically as good as Coupa's“

“Been coming hear for years. Never disappointed with what I order here. They have a good selection of beverages and chips and of course the sandwiches are fantastic.

Vegetarian options: Good selection of delicious vegetarian and vegan options“

“Subway San Carlos served me an excellent Spicy Italian made just the way I like it. Mine came on Italian Herb and Cheese bread that was perfectly toasted. Drink on the side was a Dr Pepper, and it was also perfect.
Atmosphere is pretty standard for an older location that has not been updated in many years. The tables , food counter prep area, floors and windows are clean and neat

Parking in front and back.

The one strike against Subway in San Of Carlos was the bathroom. It was obviously not cleaned well for at least a few days. No hook to hang a jacket. Sink drain empties VERY SLOWLY. And when I visited I first had to clear the plugged up toilet and give it a light cleaning before I could use it. Would never had sent kids in there alone because of the lack of upkeep.

Close to the San Carlos Transit Center for easy SamTrans and CalTrain access.

Except for the restroom, I count this Subway visit in San Carlos California as a win.

You may want to stop by yoursellf for some well prepared Subway food too.“

“Greetings fellow sandwich seekers!
I have not visited in many years and wanted to share my recent experience. Depending on your needs, this could be a nice resource and alternative to other food options nearby. Sandwich, chips and soda came to $17.77 although I did not feel especially lucky: [ 7 | 7 | 7 ]
The service was friendly, skilled and efficient, and yet the takeaway was either I am out of touch with food options on-campus or a high-profile music concert was about to begin in the courtyard based on the meal co$t. In other words, if you are looking for a drink and a snack, they have a nice variety of both. If you are looking for an affordable lunch option that you might consider making a habit, this may inspire you to find your favorite bread at the grocery store, to meal prep your must-have toppings and try the DIY sandwich crafting path instead. If you had a tuna kit and a slice of cheese, would they sell you two nice slices of bread? Maybe next time!“

“The best sandwich I've had in a very long time. Thank you for having such delicious gluten free sourdough bread. 😋“

“The Best Sandwiches!“

“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.“

“The sandwich that myself and my father got was great especially with the buy one great one free deal I would have gave five stars but my sprite and chips was forgotten and they charge me for it. They need to make sure everything is in my order before delivery especially since I was charged for it…“

“Best sandwiches and great customer service! Really nice guys. Get the number 13!“

“Adam Richman 3 fried chicken, ham, avocado, swiss, pesto, honey (need to ask for extra pesto & extra hot)
Panda Panda 2 fried chicken, honey glaze
Wonder Women w/ pesto sauce 5 fried chicken, honey mustard
Madison Bumgarner 2 too little steak, slightly sweet“

“I have been going to the Los Altos location since the mid 1970's.......“

“We came to this restaurant on the last day of the coupons validity. The nice woman behind the counter helped me use the coupon for 3 footlongs, because on the last day the program considered it expired. The ingredients are fresh, the subs are delicious. The place is spacious and very clean.“

“Be back real soon! My kind of Sub! Mike's way of course...“

“Amazing Turkish restaurant! The food was incredibly fresh and full of authentic flavor. The kebabs were perfectly cooked, the bread was warm, and the appetizers were delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast and professional. The atmosphere made us feel comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Turkish food. I will definitely come back again!“

“This Subway location has one of the absolute worst employees I’ve ever dealt with. I placed an online order and asked for a little extra sauce, and the Mexican employee behind the counter immediately gave me attitude, made a scene in front of other customers and my guests, and turned a simple request into most embarrassing experience.

She was completely unprofessional and disrespectful. If you you are tored of being respected by your coworkers, employees and family members and wanna experience humiliation for asking for basic service to this employee, this is the place to go.“

“Magie provides great customer service“

“Our 1st time today and the French dip sandwich was DELICIOUS!! We will be back!!“
