Sandwich Shops near Palo Alto

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.“

“Mendocino Farms – Salad Sorcery & Sandwich Gold in Palo Alto

Mendo Farms is the kind of spot that turns skeptics into salad believers and sandwich lovers into loyalists. Every visit is consistently solid, like clockwork but tastier.

The Not So Fried Chicken sandwich? A masterpiece. Crunchy enough to feel sinful, but technically “not fried,” so your conscience stays clear. And the Peruvian Steak sandwich? Smoky, tangy, a little spicy—it’s basically a culinary mic drop.

But the real flex here? Their salads are wizardry. Somehow hearty, fresh, and balanced without ever feeling like rabbit food. The portion ratio? Chef’s kiss. No sad lettuce pile here—you’re getting flavor-packed bites all the way down.

Whether you’re grabbing lunch between meetings or fueling up for a Stanford stroll, Mendocino Farms keeps it casual, creative, and ridiculously craveable.“

“A hidden gem in Palo Alto, you have to come all the way to the end of street, but totally worth it.

I ordered a "Grilled NY Famous Reuben with Sauerkraut & 1000 Island Dressing", OMG, it's just so good for the summer.

Not to mention the old gentleman owner cook your sandwich for you, you're actually in the New York of Bay Area.“

“A great subway - staff are always friendly and generous with toppings, especially salad. The seating area inside is very small but the have a larger seating area outside. All their ingredients were fresh. Just be aware to check pricing upon payment - sometimes they forget to apply deals like the sub of the day.“

“Chill sandwich shop with great subs, walked in for the first time and loved both the Jayme Sirewich & the Stephen Jenkins. Bread was perfect & was pleasantly surprised by the green apple caramel lollipops as a treat! Saw they had rewards so I’ll probably join as I’m sure I’ll be back in the future.“

“Pricey. But very high-quality. Had a CHICKEN CHOLULA, very tasty, a little bit spicy, enjoyed it. If you get the clam chowder (which is great), they’ll give you toasted pieces of sourdough with it. But if you rather have soft instead of toasted pieces of sourdough, just ask them.“

“Amazing sandwiches and bread!!!!“
