50 Best Sandwich Shops near Laguna Beach

“Wigz is THE spot in Laguna. It’s perfect if you wanna grab a sandwich and head a few steps over to the beach, or even chill and sit at the shop.

The spicy tuna grinder is my go to, and everything is just amazing quality — i love their breads especially.

It keeps getting better every time I go back, and it wasn’t until like my 4th visit that I realized they have more seating in the back as well as a bar!“

“Stopped by for lunch today and had a great experience! I had the grilled chicken sandwich, a sparkling water, and a side of chips. The outdoor seating is really nice with plenty of shade, and I loved the cool 80s movie posters decorating the place. The staff was friendly and attentive. I’d happily come back!“

“Stopped by Board & Brew in Laguna Beach and had a great experience. We ordered the Chicken Club and the Turkado, both of which were fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The Secret Sauce definitely lives up to the hype and took the sandwiches to the next level.

We paired our meal with the Artifex Board & Brew Honey Blonde and the Board & Brew IPA, which were both excellent choices and complemented the food perfectly.

The service was friendly, fast, and welcoming from start to finish. Great food, cold beer, and a relaxed Laguna Beach atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.“

“I needed to feed a bunch of people for a party at my house for a Sunday lunch. I called Jersey Mike's in Laguna Beach on a Thursday, ordered 8 catering boxes (for a total of 32 giant's) to be picked up on Sunday at 11:15. They had the food ready on time, with all the condiments boxed up and ready to go when I showed up. My guests loved the subs. Perfect execution. Thank you!“

“The perfect sandwich place if you're visiting loved ones at the hospital, shopping nearby or just passing through on the freeway. Fast, friendly and reasonably priced, the sandwiches are great! House made potato chips with a variety of unique spices or the Sea Salt was great!“

“Got pastrami dip sandwich, small bowl of chili, tuna melt sandwich and large fries.

Their pastrami is sliced super thin and not salty like other places. I could only eat half. Nice size.

Last time we ordered the pastrami chili cheese fries. That order was massive and fed at least 4 people.

This time we got bowl of chili on the side. Chili was bland, needed salt. We used it to dip with the fries to make our own version of chili cheese fries.

Overall, decent quality quick meal and large portion.“

“One of my all time favorite places. The people and management make It like “friends” but with a really unreal grilled cheese sandwich and soup. Get the soup with the sandwich. Add bacon. That is all.“

“Jerry’s Sandwich Shop is a little hard to find, but find it once and you’ll be back.

For me it has become the perfect stop before or after a flight at SNA to grab a great sandwich on the way to the airport or pick one up after landing.

What I especially like is what Jerry’s isn’t. No kiosk. No app required. No complicated ordering system. Just a friendly owner behind the counter making really good sandwiches at very reasonable prices.

In an age when everything seems to be getting more automated, expensive and impersonal, Jerry’s is refreshingly old-school with good food, good value and a real invested person taking your order.

Definitely worth finding“

“Fresh, tasty, great combination of flavors and options on both salads and sammies. The natural sodas are a nice touch. Gotta try a cookie!💛 Staff has been consistently courteous and responsive. I’ve been three times. I CRAVE their salads.“

“We recently catered sandwich platters for a club meeting and they were delicious! Service was quick and easy, pick up was a breeze, and extra points for the pickles and lollies! Already looking forward to coming back to try something new.“

“I had such a great visit to Subway recently. The restaurant was spotless, the ingredients were fresh, and the service was genuinely warm and attentive. My sandwich was made exactly the way I like it—plenty of crisp veggies, perfectly portioned toppings, and bread that tasted freshly baked.

What really stood out was how patient and friendly the staff were while preparing my order. They took their time to get everything right without making the line feel slow. It’s the kind of customer service that makes you want to come back.“

“I had the GOAT cheese with peach salad. It contained goat cheese, sliced peaches, lettuce, mint, basil, roasted almonds, chicken, pickled onions and a dressing on the side. The salad was perhaps the best salad I have ever had. It was super fresh and all the flavors came through spectacularly. You could taste the mint, the basil and everything else. This is a limited time seasonal item. I highly recommend this one.“

“I ordered the rotisserie chicken wrap ! Wow gross so bad so salty so rich to much mayonnaise. I really excited to come here .
The wrap was bad I mean bad . I had my friend taste it I hate retuning things everyone is working so hard . Honestly the rotisserie wrap was kinda gross. I wanted to exchange it I really wanted to like this place. The owner said no I can’t exchange it . I mean he gave me my money back . So I I guess I offended him I tried to be as nice as possible.
The staff was nice I asked them please try it you will understand why I wouldnt want it .
No AC it’s roasting in there . Those poor guys should call the labor board.
You can tell there is a lot of masculine ego in this place . Not my style for a good meal .“

“Especially excellent at this Costa Mesa Mendocino Farms location was Emma Krishhansen, Senior Manager. Her welcoming greeting and accommodating manner were so refreshing. She wanted to be certain our order was correct and it was! She seemed to be a great leader because the staff was productive and happy, especially Christian who helped out with our table clean up.“

“I love the cool clean freshness of modern architecture and light the restaurant provides; with a decided touch of old ranch atmosphere; you can be left alone to yourself, or join in community. The food is varied, always fresh, healthy, creative modern nouvelle cuisine along with more traditional dishes, the ingredients definitely high quality -California Sunshine. If you really wish to muse, meditate, read, or silently work, the place is surrounded by little nooks and crannies in the midst of nature. You can even lull yourself to a nap, abandoning all care for a few precious minutes. Or else you can sit outside in community, perhaps choosing a more intimate table conversational setting on certain days, resolving the woes or the theories our world is constructed on. All together a complete experience🙏 Thank you.“

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.“

“Exceptional Experience

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with this catering service! From the very beginning, Lin took the time to understand our needs and provide thoughtful guidance and recommendations that helped make our Grand Opening truly special. Her experience and attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout the entire process.

From the moment the food arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious and fresh, and the presentation was truly extraordinary. Enrique beautifully and elegantly plated each dish, with every detail thoughtfully done.

The service was equally outstanding—professional, attentive, friendly, and incredibly well organized. They made the entire catering experience easy and stress-free.

We received so many compliments from our guests about both the food and presentation. We are truly grateful to Lin, Enrique, and the entire team for helping make our Grand Opening such a memorable and successful event!“

“First visit, nice surprise. I had a ham and cheese sub, quality ingredients, good flavors, very reasonable prices and friendly service.
The location is in a very old, small strip mall area, ignore that, and try this shop out.

“My daughter and I live in the San Gabriel Valley, but have become huge fans of Sessions. The food is unbelievably fresh, and so flavorful. Delicious coffee too! It’s also toddler approved (which is saying a lot) It’s well worth the trip down.“

“Love this place! The bread is amazing! Such a gem❤️🇮🇹“

“Cafe Artys is fantastic, the food is fresh and superb, the spicy Italian and breakfast burritos/quesadillas are top notch as well. Can’t recommend this place enough, The parking gate has a 15 minute grace period and the machines work perfectly and are really fast so don’t worry about that. Highly recommend, it’s so easy to just go for a chain food restaurant but supporting a small local business is so important these days not too mention it’s so much more healthy and better food at Cafe Artys!“

“I don’t know anyone with a happier disposition than the Latino man who works at the deli counter slicing all the meats and cheeses. His smile is simply infectious and he always brightens my day! Excellent food and excellent staff.“

“Love a quick visit to Sessions. The fries are yummy and portions are generous.“

“The soup, the salad, the sandwich, and John along with all the service team!!“

“I am highly recommended. All sandwiches are delicious . love this place for pizza and sandwiches 😍“

“I stopped by Mendocino Farms while on a work trip and grabbed lunch. I grabbed a juice and seasonal peach salad and it was absolutely delicious. I ate the whole thing and felt amazing and satisfied. Everyone was kind and helpful and they've got seating inside with AC and some nice outside seating in the warm sun. I'd definitely recommend you visit.“

“Great deli in Dana Point, always good!“

“I genuinely recommend the First Sandwich. We ordered from here multiple times, and they never disappointed us. The food is fresh and tastes amazing. I love the avocado walnut salad; it’s very refreshing. The sandwich is flavorful. The clam chowder bowl is creamy and well balanced. They gave us so much food with reasonable price. The owner is always so kind and attentive. Highly recommend!“

“I went here when I could barley talk and when I ordered they didn’t hear me say to add bacon and I went up to order a side of bacon and instead, they made me a whole new sandwich. The cashier Valeria was very sweet and the rest of the staff were great. Of course on top of that, the food was great and tasted of high quality ingredients and fresh. Amazing spot. Better than the one I went to in LA“

“I don’t live here anymore, but passed by while I was in the area. 17th Street Deli is an absolute delight and I’m so happy I stumbled upon it! I really was just expecting a sandwich, but you really won’t know until you go..it's a must-visit. Top-notch service, homemade tuna salad, and they’re quick! My wife had the pastrami and said it was one of the best she’s ever had. I guess that one is their special! Don't miss out on this hidden gem!“

“I have been to the Sessions in Newport beach a few times and I love everything about the place, great food, great service, and the owner greeted me personally! I would 100% recommend this place for a great family meal!“

“First time dining in this Mendocino location, first time ordering the Farm Club sandwich 🥪, have to say, the Farm Club is probably the least I would recommend from their menu.

As to me, Mendocino Farms stand for gourmet sandwiches, but we can probably buy lots of similar sandwiches from any other shops. So to me, the Farm Club is a NO.

Having said this, we ordered again Prosciutto and Chicken, still very good 👍.

And this location at the east side of the South California is worth visiting when you're in the area.“

“Loved my turkey sub and service is outstanding!!!“

“I went to The Sandwich Spot this morning to grab a couple sandwiches to take with us on our boat. My wife ordered The Godfather and I ordered a roastbeef with provalone. We both know a good sandwich and I can say honestly they were the best we have ever eaten. Perfectly made with fresh rolls, lots of fresh meat and just the right amount of veggies. I strongly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back again!“

“One of the few places in town where you can get very good craft beer, with a great selection and friendly servers. Atmosphere is great with the unique colors, surfers theme, indoor and outdoor seating, and the food is amazing. The pastrami sandwiche is better than The Hat, just completely blows them away. All of the sandwiches are pretty amazing.
They just know how to do sandwiches. My favorite is the Baja beef with banana peppers and jalapeno. Just so good, it's not even funny.“

“The wife and I are super happy that we have a JerseyMikes down the street from us.And it’s great to know that it’s owned by two really nice Jersey Guys. It was a pleasure meeting you two and your nice crew My wife and I are excited to eat many more #13’s Mikes Way w/extra juice. Congratulations from your fellow Jersey boy 💥“

“One of my favorite restaurants! Mendocino Farms always has such fresh, delicious food, and I love the location and the beautiful outdoor seating. Their iced tea lemonade is also so good!

But above all, the service is what really stands out. Everyone is so helpful, friendly, and kind every time I visit. A special shoutout to Charlotte — she always provides the best service and treats everyone with such genuine warmth and kindness. She is truly wonderful!

Great food, great atmosphere, and truly exceptional service. Highly recommend!“

“Board & Brew in Laguna Niguel has become one of my go-to spots, and it's not just the food. From the second you walk in, the staff treats you like family. Every single time, the service has been fast, friendly, and easy - they remember regulars, they're patient when you've got a big order, and they genuinely seem happy you're there.

The food is solid every time. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, sandwiches loaded with good meats, cheeses, and toppings. Doesn't matter if you're grabbing a quick lunch or feeding the whole family, it's a meal you can count on.

Bonus: they always have tennis on the TVs, which honestly might be my favorite part. Perfect spot to grab a sandwich and catch a match.

What really sets this place apart is how much they show up for the community. Youth sports teams, school fundraisers, neighborhood events - they're there. That kind of support matters, especially in a town like Laguna Niguel where it's easy for local businesses to just blend into the background.

Five stars, easy. Great food, great people, and a business that actually gives back. If you're in the area, go check them out.“

“Great food, great service, the whole place is immaculate. Great quality and value, hidden gem tucked away in Courtyard at La Paz .“

“We are in the city of Laguna Beach. Stopped a this place to have dinner. Great sandwiches. Had a Turkado and pastrami. Pricing was very, very reasonable! Highly recommended if you are in the area. This would be my new favorite place if it was in Riverside.

Kid-friendliness: Family atmosphere ♥️“

“Top broodjes alles vers . beter dan sub way“

“I have been coming to Ikes for years and when I found out they opened a location in Lake Forest I was so excited! I ordered online about a week ago and requested that the bun be extra extra toasted (I love the toasted french bread here). To my dismay, the bread was completely soft and soggy (not toasted at all!). I was so disappointed as this was my first time ordering from this location. I decided to come back and give it another shot! I was welcomed by Eli, and they were so incredibly helpful!! They listened to my complaint about my last order and offered to remake my sandwich with a big smile :) I was almost ready to skip this location for my future orders but Eli was absolutely amazing. He apologized for the past order and did everything to ensure my current sandwich (which he offered me as a replacement) was beyond excellence. Amazing human being and representative of Ikes Sandwiches!!“

“The Antioch California shop is awesome!! Best sandwiches, neat, clean, and welcoming atmosphere, and a free cookie!!!“

“I genuinely enjoyed The Honey baked Smoked Turkey 🦃 Dinner and stuffing and Cheese potatoes 🥔 and Green beans 🫜🥗 salad and especially The Team players Ms Faith 🙏 and her Best friend 🙏 and, This Lake Forrest location is one of the best in Orange county!!
Thank you 🙏 and Happy Holidays 🎄⛄ to all Honey Baked Staff and Support.

“Hey Kids -
Gotta tell you about the BEST TEAM working at Jersey Mike’s Subs in Laguna Niguel off of Greenfield… Uh… where do I start?

Their team members always communicate and work well together… they do something that is a priority in food service - THEY LISTEN!!! Every sandwich’s delicious morsel comes out perfect - your way and MIKE’S WAY - if you are doing it right.

Today, I used my FREE REGULAR SANDWICH credits (which you acquire over time by buying sandwiches and such) - and EVERY BITE is always a delicacy.

Ben took my order and inquired if I wanted my usual Chicken Salad order - but instead I opted for the Club Supreme - He started it on white bread while J.B. (Jason) packed it to PERFECTION and completed the transaction.

I am certain that every Jersey Mike’s employee is shown how to make a great sandwich following protocols - yet, how do you find individuals who take the extra mile to make it a positive customer experience? Jersey Mike’s off Greenfield in Laguna Niguel does just that!!!

Have a great week everyone?“

“Love this dive convenience store. The sales staff is super cool. Fast, friendly, and helpful. If they dont have whatcha want, they'll order it! The ladies behind the deli counter are so sweet and make INCREDIBLE sandwiches big enough for 2 meals. Don't get me started on BBQ Saturdays. Seriously. I'm a 'reg' and love this place“

“this is my new favorite place for sandwiches. I always buy at least two. every time I go to work so I have one for work and when I go home. very very clean.“

“When me and my family visited the staff was polite, respectful, and helpful. There was no line nor was it busy by the time me and my family arrived so we arrived on a slow day 1 hour before they closed. The food was delicious and the staff there was helpful and attentive. Definitely recommend for a great and friendly place for a sandwich.“

“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.“

“I love visiting this particular Subway because they have the freshest ingredients and Sugey who’s truly a sandwich artist makes great sandwiches! I just ask her to surprise me and in fact, she never fails! Such an awesome and polite and lady always with a big smile and very positive energy! Definitely ask her for the breakfast sandwich!“
