50 Best Sandwich Shops near Encino

“We discovered Tasty Town Café by accident when taking our baby to his pediatrician—it’s right in the same building, and the amazing smell coming from the café convinced us to give it a try. Now it’s officially become our little tradition after every appointment!

Parking is easy, the café is clean, and the staff is always so friendly. The food is honestly so good—fresh, flavorful, and made with care. We’ve tried the sandwiches, wraps, and coffee, and everything tastes gourmet, like it’s made with real, handmade love. Even my picky husband is obsessed with their food, which says a lot.

Fast service, delicious options, and just an overall welcoming vibe. We’re so glad we stumbled upon this place. Highly recommend“

“Fantastic place with a good variety of food. I enjoyed the fat Jerry, which had delightfully tender steak, crispy chicken fingers and fries, all seasoned perfectly to compliment eat bite! I'll definitely be going back again to try something new. The fat shake #4 with oreos was probably one of the best shakes I've had in a few years, so don't forget to get your shake on while you're there. If you're up for a challenge they've got 2 there, and best of luck with those! (Not my best photo below, but i was in a rush, and excited to try it. )“

“So glad I found this little gem. My turkey club sandwich was slap your grandma delicious. My plate had a scoop of potato salad in the middle, I like potato salad enough but not crazy about it, this little scoop was so good, I will order a full side of it next time I go back, so, so good. My sandwich was really great, wheat bread was perfectly toasted and savory, bacon was thick and slightly crispy, just how I like it, turkey was fresh, veggies were crunchy and fresh, little pickle slices on the side. This place is old-school, too, nothing fancy just simple delicious fresh food. It's owned by a sweet middle-aged Japanese couple. I paid $14 for my sandwich with a Dr. Pepper of course 🧐“

“If the owner or upper management reads this for all the workers that worked today around 2:15pm please give them raises or a huge shout out for me pretty please! I had just left my doctor office five minutes prior that gave me some disturbing news on a life long auto immune condition and I’m sure it was me but the sandwich end up having oil and vinegar on it when I intended to say put it on the side I felt myself just bursting into tears and just saying I’m sorry that’s not what I was saying etc. the compassion that literary ALL of the employees in their showed omg I highly rate this location if for nothing else the world class customer service and as one of them said to me “of course Jersey sandwich should help your day get a little better” !!! Please send my kuddos and a deep thank you and it’s just a reminder you never know what someone is going through a little bit of kindness goes such a long way!!!“

“I visited this place last time I visited my niece who live in LA. I tried their pizza. It was very good perfect. I also love Arabic fettuce salad and tried their coffee. Very friendly service.“

“the salads are delicious. the food is very good“

“I was delighted and surprised at the size of the sandwich, considering it's relatively low price, and right in downtown Santa Monica! The service was good, and tuna was filing and delicious. Chill music in the background, and a quaint seating area was perfect my rainy day journey.“

“Truthfully, I’ve only ever ordered delivery from Ggiata… that said, I have ordered MANY times. They has the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had AND the best breakfast sandwich. No small feat.

Edit: the coffee pictured wasn’t from Ggiata“

“Excellent, very focused, lovely people working very hard here to please their guests. I want to thank my fellow restaurant folks who work so hard to get our orders correct.“

“I really enjoy urbane Cafe for the fact that they have plenty of options for a family like mine where there's meat eaters and plant-based preferences. I would also like to recognize one of the employees Nicole who went above and beyond for us! Great service is a lost art and Nicole really made our day.“

“Love this place so happy they opened this! Did I mention they have wings??“

“Was it the first-time-fluke?

This place makes one of the most interesting flavor combos that does not make sandwiches boring. Love the saffron mayo.

When we came for the first time— they were out of focaccia breads and we had the WLF on baguette— it was fantastic. With the fried shallot, the flavors were well-balanced and found them different than other places.

We came back with the good memories and came back for the second time. The flavors inside of the bread were the same, but the bread— the original recipe— did not find the flavor balance and just sour throughout.

We learned that the original recipe isn’t good, but they don’t offer bread substitution (at least online). Tasting in a way could be just us, but not offering an option is not great. Happily willing to try again.“

“Let me telll you the best freaking pastrami sub I’ve ever had and I hate sub sandwiches cause I can never find a good one. But de Franco has my heart it’s been 3 days and I want another so baddd. Plus the owner is the sweetest most amazing person ever!!! Can’t wait to go back and get more!“

“wow Fresh Good TastyFood great area..Definitely worth it.....“

“Tasty sandwiches at a great price!!“

“S & S - Sarah and sandwiches were awesome. Also, you know the vibes are good when the person in front of you buys you Cookies to pay it forward. Thank you, Michael. I appreciate you restoring faith in humanity (and I can’t wait for them to add your sandwich to the menu, meatball, Parmesan, with tuna and peppers)“

“Stopped by for an afternoon sandwich. This is a nice little shop with sandwiches and Vietnamese food.
The people behind the counter are really friendly and helpful. I ended up ordering a #7 pork sandwich. It was really good. What impressed me the most and stood out was the fresh vegetables in the sandwich. They were crisp and refreshing with every bite. I really enjoyed this sandwich!
This is a take out only place, no indoor seating.“

“The Lemon chicken and Farro soup was amazing. Quick service and excellent food choices. The Turkey Avo Salsa Verde was slightly spicy, and delicious. You can enjoy it with or without the salsa, as the sandwich itself is flavorful with the cotija and avocado and sweet hot pepper.“

“The description of Ike's to me made it sound like Fat Sal's and I was excited. Truth of the matter is Ike's holds its own, and it didn't disappoint. It has a great menu mixed with Meat and Veggie options. The Mrs. and I split and highly recommend the Captain Carl and the Meatless Mike (I concur "best vegan meatball in America", and Our 3 y/o gives the grilled cheese 👍👍. Our 9y/o swears it was the best grilled cheese she ever had.“

“Highly recommend! Such a great vibe!“

“I have been looking for quinoa all over LA. This place serves it and it is very good. The mix has just the right amount of dried sweet cranberries and a few chickpeas. It was perfect. I had a salad with tuna avocado and egg salad. I was able to sub the egg salad for tuna which was very nice of them. They gave me a fork full of a mayonnaise free tuna they had prepared on the way out which again was a great experience. This is the kind of place that you feel cares and you'd want to keep going back to. A+++“

“Very nice veg sandwiches. Their ingredients and the bread are good quality. I had the hungry hippie, and the sprout, sauce, beetroot and ciabata bread were fresh. It was filling and satisfying.

The staff is also very friendly.“

“Best sandwich shop in the Valley. I got the chicken Cesar wrap with fries and my boyfriend got the turkey sandwich. Delicious. Will go back again. If you pass this place up for the big chain sandwich shops, you're really missing out an a quality sandwich from a great man, Frank.“

“Tried Mendocino Farms for the first time the other day and I throughly enjoyed it! Maday who helped me was super friendly and gave a great recommendation. The Chicken Parm sandwich tasted super fresh and flavorful and I will definitely back for another soon!“

“Great 👍 sandwiches and for vegans 🌱 @vgone“

“Yes this cheese steak is off the chain. Everything is so good. The cheese, the meat, and the fries are all worth it. I have tried cheese steaks from other restaurants out in LA and this restaurant top all of them. The owner she’s very welcoming as well. Definitely have a new go to for Philly steak lol.
Couldn’t resist from taken a bite.“

“The Peruvian steak sandwich is amazing!! Loved the cookies too!“

“Stopped by Subway recently and had a really nice experience. Jasmin helped me out, she was super friendly and easy to talk to, which made ordering feel comfortable and not rushed. They got everything on my sandwich just right and it tasted fresh. The whole visit was quick and smooth, and overall just a pleasant stop. I'd definitely come back.“

“High quality and delicious. Service is fantastic. Today, Uber Eats guy delivered the wrong order. I called the store (Uber Eats sucks) and explained what happened. The manager remade my order and when I picked it up, they threw in free butter cake - all at no cost to me.“

“Amazing sandwiches and especially the Cajon chicken wrap. good stuff.“

“Good colt cut sub. The inside was very spacious, only problem I had was it was a little warm inside didn’t necessarily make me want to sit down and enjoy my sandwich there but the sandwich was good. Good value I paid 15 bucks for a mineral water bag of chips and a large sub. I thought it was a great deal and the food was decent.“

“This is a great SUBWAY...owner operated. Having run my own business since 1990, I really appreciate an out front owner, working and mingling with customers. We were trying to find my 93-year-old father some nachos, but it wasn't working out. So we popped next door to the subway and the owner made my father nachos his way.... it's not even on the menu... but he went out of his way to make something nice for somebody. My father and I both just lost our wives a couple weeks apart, and we are on our way to visit my mom for her 93rd birthday, and see my wife.
Those nachos and simple courtesy made my dads day!!
Thank you!!“

“I am a student at UCLA and get food at this subway location every week after my hospital shift. The service is always great and some of the employees have even started to recognize me. Gourish is one of the employees that I see every week and he always greets me with a smile and has already memorized my order. Love the employees and the food very much!“

“Love getting lunch from this Mendocino location. The employees are nice , welcoming and professional. The manager Arthur is always a nice chat up about sports. Love to have walked in on the day of the Birthday celebration and back the next day for the $6.25 special wrap. Hope it can make a come back.“

“Bobby went above and beyond in providing me with great service on Monday night. He's is truly a great asset to this business, and no he's not my cousin or friend that I'm trying to compliment. He definitely deserves a promotion.“

“I recently stoped in at Mendocino Farms in Porter Ranch and had the pleasure of being assisted by Art. His kindness and attentiveness truly enhanced my experience. Art went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my meal was perfect, providing thoughtful recommendations and making me feel genuinely valued as a guest. His warm demeanor and exceptional service are a testament to the high standards upheld by Mendocino Farms. I look forward to returning, knowing that team members like Art are dedicated to providing such memorable experiences.“

“Ordered the roast pork. Very big sandwich you can easily split or save the other half for later. I don’t know what liquid they add on top of the sandwich but it was amazing! The bread soaks up all the juices and it’s a flavor bomb with every bite. I will say their pork is no where near as tender as valley of sandwiches.“

“One of my favorite sandwich places in the city! Great BLT, Roast Beef and Turkey Pesto sandwiches on freshly baked focaccia. Don’t miss their killer breakfast too. Only served at Manhattan Beach and Westwood locations but worth the drive. I mostly go to the location in Santa Monica but only for lunch/dinner. Oh and their chocolate fudge cookies are incredible.“

“I would like to commend, Ms. Natividad
S., manager of the Santa Monica, CA,
Subway , located at 1221 -A Wilshire Blvd..
Natividad patiently assisted me today,
4/1/25, with installing the Subway App on my i phone as my i phone skills are sadly very limited.. I signed the Subway App,
purchased a foot long , and have become
a Subway loyal customer……:… all because of Ms. Natividad S. courtesy and patient assistance.“

“This is my favorite location because the staff here are always welcoming!! They are nice!! I like this team!! Also the way they prepare your food, is way different than other locations, they put dedication and inspiration to it. Great customer service. And place is clean every time I'm there.

Vegetarian options: A variety of veggies and veggies paties available

Kid-friendliness: Proper for kids to dine in.“

“Great people and food... I come here allot after school.... really clean and nice people.“

“This was our second time at this location. Super conviente since it's opwn 24 hours. Mansi has been there each time. She was efficient and got us out of there quickly. She was friendly and personable. We'll be back because of Mansi!!!!“

“Ordered pick up for lunch at this location, and I was very happy to say the least. I was greeted upon arrival and handed my order quickly. My sandwich was made by Maria and it was absolutely delicious! She’s very nice and I’m glad I chose this location!“

“The definition of a little hole in the wall, and I mean that in all the best ways. The food is delicious, affordable, fresh, and quick. It's a kind of a combination subs and a little bit of Korean, sometimes at the same time. Probably my favorite philly cheese steak in town. The bread is great. The teriyaki sub is delicious.

It's close to where I work and it's my go-to lunch spot when I want to go out.“

“I gave this subway a second chance and this time they didn’t disappoint staff was much nicer and the place was more clean. The food was pretty good. They just need to get more staff during busy hours there was a really long line during lunch time.“

“I absolutely love this Subway location at 8859 W Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood! As someone who works in the healthcare industry, I’m always on the go and don’t have much time for a sit-down meal. This location is a lifesaver — quick, convenient, and always fresh.

Laura and Monica are the stars here! They know me by name, greet me with a smile every time, and truly go above and beyond to make sure my order is made exactly the way I like it. Their attention to detail and friendliness make a huge difference. You can tell they take pride in what they do.

In a city where fast, fresh food options can be limited, especially in West Hollywood, this Subway stands out. Service is quick, ingredients are fresh, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. I’d recommend this location to anyone looking for a friendly, reliable spot to grab a great meal.“
