50 Best Sandwich Shops near Monrovia

“This is the 3rd Ike’s I have been to, and they always serve up quality, delicious sandwiches that are quick and convenient. Brought them on a road trip the next day and still tasty. The interior is very clean and staff very friendly. The wide selection means you can always try something new or just stick to whatever is your favorite. This location is in a very busy plaza so takes some time to find parking on Friday evenings.“

“I love this place! I really do! The people that work there are professional, pleasant and just all around great people! Sandwiches are good here. They have a healthy variety if your looking for a healthier option. It's clean. I say check them out for lunch or dinner! Take your kids after a sports game, take a date or go grab lunch. Check them out! Super super nice staff! I give them a A+++“

“Excellent service and great food.“

“Decades upon decades, I have enjoyed Gene's Grinders. Fresh ingredients, friendly customer good service and fantastic memories since Huntington Drive. Thank you all for all the yummy, excellent food, hard work and fantastic memories! See you later! ❌️⭕️ 2/18/2026“

“Reasonable price for the BEST food and service. The family is always accommodating, understanding, quick, and always makes me feel welcomed. They're also talented outside of the kitchen with their art.

They allowed me to have one of the works they made. 🩷“

“I love the place.
You ordered then go. Employee is nice. And some other desert and fresh roll and so on.
Small spot on Alhambra and I love it close to coffee shop that I don't need to drive around. Parking is a little busy.“

“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!!“

“Their sides looked very tempting, then I looked at the size of their pastrami sandwich I knew I couldn't even finish that alone.
Glad I only ordered just the sandwich & at about $14 with meats stacked so thick it's the best deal in town and anywhere else.
Delicious!“

“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!“

“What a hidden gem! I had the Sunrise Sandwich customized with roast beef instead of bacon, sourdough instead of a croissant, scrambled egg, and provolone. Absolute perfection. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and their signature aioli brought it all together. I would’ve posted a photo, but I absolutely destroyed the sandwich before I even thought about it. Trust me, it was beyond delicious. The portions are huge—I’m taking the other half home, labeling it, and I will literally throw hands if anyone touches it. I already can’t wait to finish it. I’m still blown away that we have a place like this in El Monte. Such an upgrade from the usual Subway or Jersey Mike’s. Great quality, generous portions, and definitely worth what you’re paying. Los, it was so nice meeting you. Thank you for being so welcoming and hospitable. I love that you’re right next to the coffee shop too—perfect combination. I’ll definitely be bringing my family back. Wishing you nothing but success. El Monte needed this! Blessings, Marylou“

“First time here. I ordered the Steak chimichurri sandwich. It was delicious. Had lots of flavor. My kid had their pizza, and we're very happy with it as well. All in all it was good experience for my first time. Will definitely come back and try a different meal.“

“My wife and I loved the place !“

“Okay… I’m just gonna say it: this burger puts In-N-Out to shame! 😂 The burger was SO juicy, with that beautiful sear on the patty that gave it such an amazing flavor. The pickles were delicious, and that Thousand Island dressing tied the whole burger together perfectly. And that toasted bun?! 🤌🏽🔥 Everything just worked.

The fries were also so good—nice and crispy on the outside while still soft and fluffy on the inside. Exactly how I like my fries!

The food was fresh, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. I came hungry and left VERY happy. 😂

The Hat is definitely going on my list of places I’d come back to. Highly recommend! 🍔🍟❤“

“Good service and great food“

“Delicious, Hot & Fresh Pastrami sandwiches. Fresh Hot Fries made to order but, don't order a large order if alone cause it nearly filled up the bag. They offer many drink choices n refills. Pleanty of indoor seating and outdoor too.“

“A really nice addition to the Azusa Pacific / Citrus College neighborhood! Good quality food at surprisingly fair prices. I've had their ahi tuna salad, nicely prepared (the tuna wasn't overcooked which often happens). I just wish they'd bring back their ahi tuna sandwich. OK, I wish the fresh cookies were a tiny bit cheaper, however it's a darned good dessert after their other wonderful fare.“

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

“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.“

“My daughter and I stopped by on a whim. Excellent quality food, tasty and delicious sandwiches. Local vendor. Anna is a small business owner and was very friendly and kind. I recommend wholeheartedly. Literally a homemade quality sandwich for the same price as Subway.“

“I usually go for breakfast because they have made to order breakfast bahn mi sandwiches. For the price, you get a pretty big sized sandwich. I think I spend like under 12 bucks for a sandwich and bottled water. I usually get the ham and egg. Kimmy always takes my phone orders and she is so nice!“

“This is for the subway inside Longo Toyota. Debbie assisted me.. she was very nice n friendly and helpful. I asked for her recommendation on what bread is good for breakfast n cheese to go with what I ordered, which is the steak, egg n cheese sandwich 😬 awesome service!! 👍😉“

“An awesome authentic find! the portions are filling and it tastes delicious 🌮“

“I’ve been recently new to this location, enjoying the new quality interior, I’m quite fond of this Subway staff and attention to detail of the entire working staff of employees here.

They are always welcoming and friendly towards me upon entering and assisting in making me my favorite veggie sandwich with a little to no issue present. Angel, especially has been always kind, high spirits, providing excellent customer service and with his signature smile and warm personality.

A special thank you to all of the hard working crew here at this Subway restaurant, especially Angel as you continue to make my visit delightful in such a sincerely friendly environment.

I highly recommend more customers continue to show this location and restaurant support, especially that the services and food provided is quite exceptional, affordable and local.

Thank you, Subway!

Respectfully and sincerely,
Moise“

“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.“

“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 🤤“

“Very friendly, quick service, and good food. This has become a regular stop for us. The service is fast, just a few minutes. Food is always good there. Plenty of parking. If you like Charleys, Go here! If you have never had Charleys, Go here!“

“Reduced prices are a good suggestion!!!!!!I am a very good customer I come every week

Vegetarian options: Good vegetables ?

Kid-friendliness: AVAILABLE AND VERY KIND no problems what so ever

Parking: Subway #3476-0 plenty of good parking“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious sandwiches and over repriced drinks, one Aquafina for $2.35 😑“

“Ordered food for my daughter’s school through DoorDash. I needed the sandwiches to be cut in thirds and the app wouldnt let me customize so I called the store directly. They were so lovely. Said no problem they would handle it. Not only did they cut them but they also called to me say the sandwiches were picked up on the way to my daughter’s school. They went above and beyond. I will definitely order with them again. Absolutely spot on customer service.“

“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!“

“Here the portions are very generous and the donuts are absolutely delicious. I initially ordered two, but they were so tasty and fresh that I couldn’t resist asking for a third one. The place is clean, cozy, and welcoming, with a pleasant atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer. I highly recommend it to everyone who appreciates good food and friendly service.“

“Came here getting baguettes before leaving out of town, got here at 6am and the bread is definitely hot. I always come here in the morning and grab there baguettes because their baguettes won’t get harden through the days.
Service here is very good absolutely attentive, nice and friendly.
Atmosphere they have outside sitting and inside eating as well, you can come as a group sit and eat.“

“Went there for a sandwich. It was my first time at Jersey Mike's. I noticed a whole section of the menu was dedicated to Philly cheese sandwiches. The portions were generous and the staff did everything they could that made me feel at home.“

“Ordered a 3 ft sub sandwich the night before I needed. Every place else wanted 48 hour notice. Got to say, the sandwich was fresh and amazing! It was enjoyed by all for my family reunion. Will definitely go back to check out the rest of the menu. I spoke to Maria, who was very cordial and extremely helpful. This is my new go to for a large party sub sandwich. 👍👍👍“

“It was great, I had a birthday coupon and I though I was going to be able to order the minimal sandwich on the menu but to my amazement he said anything in the menu. Good sandwich!“

“today was my first visit here at Tony's donut and I have to say it's a clean business I had an iced mocha very delicious and their service is really good so yes I do recommend and I hope to go back there soon again 🤗“

“Kevin and Jerry were the best! From the second we walked in Kevin made plus feel sooo welcome. They set up the most warm & welcoming atmosphere. The food, as always, is delicious. But we would come back just for their customer service. Thanks guys!“

“Pretty simple and efficient setup for some very healthy and delicious food. You pretty much serve yourself. As you walk in, there are a few ordering monitors to take your orders. You pay at the same time and take a numbering table-stand to identify your table so they can bring you the food.
We ordered the Mediterranean Bowl and the Garlic Sesame Steak Bowl. Both were very delicious, just the right portion, and healthy.
We sure glad we found this place. We'll be back. It's located behind Macy, with plenty of parking.“

“Amazing subway restaurant. The staff is kind and helpful. I ordered a meat ball foot long along with a chocolate chip cookie and they were tasty. The place is very clean and the atmosphere and service are great, my only complaint is that they didn't slice my footlong in half. I didn't tell them because I didn't notice until I got back to work. But I will definitely bring it to their attention. Other than that overall it's a good restaurant.“

“Today (3-09-25) I went to this El Monte Subway and was attended by Jacob. He could not be more professional, courteous, helpful, or friendlier than he was. He helped us the entire time with a smile on his face. A better employee you'd be hard pressed to find. And the food was the best I've ever had from any Subway restaurant. If you're reading this, Jacob, thank you for you fantastic service. I hope you're there next time I go. And to all the patrons that intend to visit this location in El Monte, I highly recommend that you ask for Jacob. You won't regret it.“

“awesome and yummy better then any“

“I ordered a hazelnut latte and a muffin.
The staff were very friendly, everything was prepared quickly, the latte was delicious, and there’s a cozy outdoor area where you can спокойно enjoy your coffee and procrastinate a bit.“

“Glad to see Jersey Mike's in Baldwin Park! Love the subs there, and am glad you are now less than 5 minutes from where I live.....otherwise, I would have to drive 5 miles (15 minutes) away to Covina to go to Jersey Mike's. Love the food and I will be coming back often to this location!“

“I love coming here! Great food, friendly service and family run. The village is so charming.“

“That healthy diet you know ... cheese top bread , Breast Chicken double meat of course and double toasted with pepper jack or Swiss cheese with easy lettuce, cumumber, jalapeños, bell pepper , spinach on sweet onion, plus lots of blk pepper that it all“

“So glad this location opened up! Friendly staff and the sandwiches are great! However, the last two times I visited, they were missing something. Last time they had no bread whatsoever, so I could only get a bowl or a wrap. Today, they were out of two types of breads.“
