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.“

“It isn't bad, it's pretty good. The ingredients are fresh but....... I wish they added more meat so I was mainly full off of the giant carby bread and lettuce also I do love a sub with lots of vinegar and oregano oil but it was lacking that too.
I guess next time I'll ask for more meat haha I don't know?“

“First time trying this place out.
It was worth it. I had the pastrami dip sandwich.
It was delicious
I can see why it has the reviews that it has
I highly recommend trying them out. I went to the original location in Alhambra.
Good job guys

“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.“

“It's not the best banh mi around, but certainly the best price/quality ratio in Alhambra. The line can be long and you can order ahead (phone), but if you just drop by around noon. Expect a bit of a wait. The owner speaks English, Vietnamese and Cantonese, so walk in with no fear. Coffee is excellent here too.“

“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!!“

“Good service and great food“

“The manager knows my order from memory. I haven’t had an issue with the food, the staff, or the environment thus far. I’ve been coming here for a while now. The staff is always nice and informative. Restaurant is always clean without odor. Food is always good and fresh. They’re also willing to make small modifications to the food items. Sometimes it cost extra and sometimes it doesn’t. Those sweet potato’s are 🔥. Fresh juices are always good. Only I don’t like is the sodas mainly because I don’t like craft sodas from anywhere. I also don’t drink soda.“

“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!“

“Great food and huge portions! The pastrami was fresh, flavorful, and packed with meat. Fries were delicious, and the staff was friendly and fast. Restaurant was clean, and the service was excellent. Definitely one of the best spots for sandwiches and comfort food. Highly recommend!“

“Been coming to The Hat for sometime now and the onion rings in my opinion are ethe best out there. Super crispy texture, never flakey where the breading falls off the onion. Cool thing about the Hat, you can get yourself a quick snack under $10. Even though the JR cheeseburger is a smaller burger, the fries or onion rings will help make that up as they are very generous with the serving portions on that. Their chili cheese fries are also easily a shareable meal for about 3-4 people. Not big pastrami fan, so I'll leave that off my review for the real pastrami lovers.“

“A co-worker that used to come up and play ice hockey in his teens told me about this place. He told me I will not regret and order the pastrami. He was right !! I had the sandwich just like it,no condiments to really enjoy the pastramj. My oh my,right on point flavor,not too salty or plain. Fresh bread. Quick service. Love the nostalgic set up..everything along the 210 still has that Americana flavor..“

“Pictures don’t do it justice — the quality of the sandwich (prosciutto & fig, chicken pesto) was next level. No idea how they make it work with such a low price point ($13.50 for one sandwich which is really 2 sandwiches because of their size) in relation to such high quality ingredients, including fresh focaccia bread, but we’re grateful for it.“

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

“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 🤤“

“Great customer service ,staff friendly and welcoming. Food taste was good 👍💯. Order was perfect. Thank you. Will definitely be back👍 This location definitely shines brighter than location at westcovina mall.“

“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 travel 3 miles to this Subway due to its friendly staff and safe environment. Parking is more convenient, and there's less traffic. Service is quick, and the food is enjoyable. The store is impeccably clean, rated 10/10, with a clean, password-protected restroom. Overall, I highly recommend this location for both dining in and takeout.“

“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.“

“Had such a beautiful day at Subway today! The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere felt welcoming, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. My sandwich was fresh, delicious, and made exactly how I wanted it. It was a simple but really enjoyable experience that made my day even better. Definitely a great place to stop for a quick and satisfying meal!“

“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.“

“Fresh Baguettes, Fresh Bánh mì, Fresh Pho! Wow! One Stop Shop. Discovered an amazing place having all dishes, Vietnamese coffee, desserts, and fresh baguettes like Vietnam. The Vietnamese flavors are spot and authentic! And, great place and vibes for socializing with friends either indoors or on the outdoor patio area. Return we will. To the Proprietor: Cảm ơn!“

“Among the best Jersey Mikes I've gone to. Usually I order pick up and at other locations like South Gate they do not pack the subs the way this location does or add enough of the extras I payed for. I ask usually for extra toppings as well and this place outdid themselves. Definitely will buy from this location again.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 🤗“

“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. 👍👍👍“

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

“I love this place !! I so enjoy the regular and the sesame seeds baguettes; the seeds give a delicious taste. Don't believe me. Try it. Their chicken sandwich has vegetables. The perfect size and the right amount of protein and veggies. Ah, I almost forgot to tell you, they have earned an A. Their employees are mostly elderly women. I love supporting them. 👏👏“

“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!“

“I was recently in the area for a vacation weekend. My son and I stopped in for a pastry and were BLOWN AWAY by the freshness and taste of the food. We also got a croissant sandwich...and WOW!!!!! The ladies were super nice and quick service. They beat out my local bakery, hands down!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“This food is so good. They cook it up in front of you and serve it open face so the hot and cold things don’t mix till you’re ready for it. Also do yourself a favor and get the peach lemonade, it’s outstanding! Also the fries with the Cajun seasoning were cooked to perfection. It’s in the mall food court, so seating is easy and abundant.“

“I went today and had a #7 which is a Turkey and Provolone on Rosemary Parmesan. I had it Mike’s Way with the “juice” which makes it delicious. I added mayo and cpr which is cherry pepper relish. It gives it a little kick and makes it tastes even better. This was the time I tried the relish and I love it. I received great service and the location was clean and pleasant. Thank you Jersey Mike’s I will be back again soon.“

“My experience at Ace Burger today was nothing short of amazing! I ordered the chicken tenders, fries, and corn on the cob, and everything was a perfect 10. The chicken tenders especially stood out—they had the perfect amount of spice and breading. On top of the fantastic food, the woman who made the food and the gentleman (I believe they’re the owners) were incredibly welcoming and thoughtful. Their kindness made the visit even more special. Wishing much success to this wonderful place!!

P.S. Food was so good I forgot to take pictures 😂❤️“

“The 5stars goes to RosaThe 5stars for service goes to RosaShe always does it right without any Attitude which is very important in customer service. Which keeps me coming back ,just because of her services. In any business hiring the right person brings in the right business and is very good for customers and owners.I'm a morning stop everyday 8:30 - 9:00 and she knows how to get you in and out very professional.Thanks“

“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.“

“Awesome food! Better than Slobway. Always look forward to coming back!“

“awesome and yummy better then any“

“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“

“Today 1/24/25. The service is good, but takes a while to get your order since they are short staffs. The sandwiches were fresh, deli was cut right in front of you and fresh veggies. Great job Jersey Subs. Definitely we will come back again. Thank You!👍“
