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“

“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 🧐“

“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. )“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Ggiata Brentwood is the best place to stop for not only sandwiches, but great vibes. Our friend Troy took our spontaneous stop for a treat, and totally changed our night with his smile and amazing service. I would come here every day if I could. Thank you!“

“PERFECTLY WRAPPED SANDWICHES

SERVICE: The owners make sure everyone is taken care of. Now, that is excellent service!

Food:
Popular with my family. My mom really liked the chicken salad sandwich. Sometimes, it is unavailable.

Parking situation:
Very challenging. Pick up vistors parking on the BUS ONLY lane...not too good situation. Drivers waiting on streets blocking traffic to find a spot.

Conclusion:
Cute sandwich store with condiment and snack displays.“

“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)“

“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.“

“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.“

“3/10/2026 update: omg i finally got the shirts today!!🥳 it only took a month and a half to get resolved, unfortunately did not make it in time for my friend’s bday party but they’re here and I know she’ll love it!

2/24/2026 update:still no response😭😭

I remember when the merchandise first came out they were having issues with shipment and delivery times so I decided to hold off and wait.

I recently purchased two t-shirts, and was looking forward to the shirts when I received a noticed that that UPS was unable to deliver the package because I needed to pay the tariffs. Now, given everything that is going on I don’t fault SAH, I just wished there was some transparency about where the product is coming from. So then I go ahead and pay the $50 tariffs and I get a message that I’ll get a new delivery date. I’m like no big deal, I love the shirts, I want to support SAH. When I go and check the new delivery date it seems the items are being sent back to sender in Canada!

So I’m like, wth did I pay tariffs for if I was never going to get my package. I contact UPS and they inform me there’s nothing they can do and the only thing that can be done is to contact the sender, unfortunately they’re not easy to get ahold of and the emails keep bouncing back, there’s no phone number to contact and I keep waiting on someone to respond to the inquiry I submitted and nothing. All I want are the shirts *crying*! I know it’s a small business but whomever is in charge of shipment and orders needs to step it up and there should also be some transparency that the items are coming from Canada so in addition to shipment fees the customer also has to pay the tariffs 😑.

Anyways I’m hoping someone sees this message and is able to help with my order before it leaves the US and then I’ll have to pay the dang tariffs again which is ridiculous.

The food is amazing the shop is super cute, I honestly can’t wait to go back, it’s just unfortunate all I wanted to do was support and buy merch but it’s kind of a hassle.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great 👍 sandwiches and for vegans 🌱 @vgone“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Oh nooo. I see you’re “temporarily closed”. I hope you haven’t gone out of business. As someone who vacations in London England twice a year, I’m so happy this British shop is here, but I’m sad to see the temporarily closed designation on Google Maps.“

“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.“

“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.“

“​I had a fantastic experience at this Subway location! The staff was exceptionally professional, and clearly dedicated to providing great service. My sandwich was built with fresh ingredients; the veggies were crisp and the bread was perfect. Furthermore, the entire restaurant was spotless and very well-maintained, which really enhances the overall dining experience. This is by far one of the best Subway locations I've visited. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The atmosphere was really clean and organized. As of right now they brought back the MEAL OF THE DAY which includes 2 cookies or chips with a small drink and if you want a footlong it’s just an additional 3$ which to me sounds like a perfect price and meal. One of the workers told me that the deal will only go on until march so get it while it lasts.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“First time trying this for delivery. Our order was done exactly how we asked and super fast too. If you like grilled onion on your burger like i do...hold onto your hat because these were not just grilled but carmelized to perfection. And the butter cake...holy moly...move over cannolis cause you've been replaced with this as my new favorite dessert! I cried tears of gourmet joy while I ate“

“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’ve been eating subs from My Hero since 1972! THE best subs I’ve eaten, ever. Moved through the years, and always went to My Hero’s when within 5 hours by car to where I was staying! The high quality of their food has never waivered! The buns are soft, yet chewy! The tomato salad in each sandwich is always fresh! Plus they give a generous portion of the protein! My favorite has always been pastrami! Lean and tasty, everytime! The staff is welcoming and genuinely happy you are there! I’ll be going in a week as I pass through the area! Will be the highlight of my trip! Thanks My Hero for keeping the memories alive and never disappointing!“

“I’ve been to this Firehouse Subs location twice now, and both visits were great experiences. The customer service really stood out — the staff was genuinely friendly, welcoming, and took the time to greet us and offer suggestions from the menu. You can tell they care about making customers feel appreciated.

The restaurant itself was very clean and well kept, and the food was excellent. I especially enjoyed the Pepperoni Meatball Sub — it was flavorful, hot, and made perfectly.

Overall, this is a wonderful location with a great team working there. I’ll definitely be coming back many more times. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve tried different locations of Jersey Mikes but for the first time I received AMAZING customer service and it started with being greeted as I walked in and than Jacob took my order and he was super friendly didn’t have an attitude even with the customers before myself he gave us exactly what we asked for and they were fast. Thank you to him and his team, I’m leaving very satisfied!“

“Today I ordered the Italian, it was $12. The sandwich pepper relish was pretty spicy. Overall I thought the sandwich was delicious. I’m going back tomorrow to try the meatball.“
