40 Best Sandwich Shops near San Carlos

“Favorite place in the area!! Lou’s Cafe is an awesome neighborhood joint. Great breakfast sandwiches at really good prices and super nice crowd. We love the ultimate sammie and the southwestern omelette. Can always count on a good morning at Lou’s!“

“Subway San Carlos served me an excellent Spicy Italian made just the way I like it. Mine came on Italian Herb and Cheese bread that was perfectly toasted. Drink on the side was a Dr Pepper, and it was also perfect.
Atmosphere is pretty standard for an older location that has not been updated in many years. The tables , food counter prep area, floors and windows are clean and neat

Parking in front and back.

The one strike against Subway in San Of Carlos was the bathroom. It was obviously not cleaned well for at least a few days. No hook to hang a jacket. Sink drain empties VERY SLOWLY. And when I visited I first had to clear the plugged up toilet and give it a light cleaning before I could use it. Would never had sent kids in there alone because of the lack of upkeep.

Close to the San Carlos Transit Center for easy SamTrans and CalTrain access.

Except for the restroom, I count this Subway visit in San Carlos California as a win.

You may want to stop by yoursellf for some well prepared Subway food too.“

“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.“

“Amazing sandwiches and bread!!!!“

“Leonardo’s is OPEN for business, phone orders and pick up. Uber Eats option available this Friday March 20th. Please keep them in mind during this time, with everyone home from school and work enjoy a great deli sandwich, homemade soup or fine salads.“

“We didn't realize how much a difference good bread has on a sandwich! Their meats and veggies are already good, but their sourdough is next level. We love it so much, we get the baguettes to take home. The staff is really nice here as well and it's clean with plenty of seating. Parking is easy in the adjacent lot. Good value, too.“

“Awesome and fresh ! Defo worth going there for food and check it out your selves, it will be worth it!“

“First time tried their subs. It was very tasty and good quality. Thankful that we have a halal subs close by. Highly recommend.“

“This quaint little gem boasts of an array of cheeses and charcuterie. Their sandwiches are one of the tastiest with ingredients of the highest quality!!“

“HUGE sandwiches that make you savor each bite. I got to try this location for the first time and it’s such a big uplift from the original one in San Bruno.

Got the chipotle chicken sandwich with Ceaser salad and it was delicious. Love the way chicken and melted crunchy cheese comes together to make a wholesome meal. Highly highly highly recommend!“

“Kareoke is fun there and it started back today and every Thursday. Food and service is great.“

“This is the place to get a Great Deli Sandwich. They also serve burgers too. They have a great salad bar as well. It's in an industrial park area off of Harbor street, so parking can be tight. I will definitely hit this place up again when I'm in South San Francisco near the airport 😃😃😃“

“Never had it before and it was very delicious!! Great staff, greeted with smiles and efficient, quality service!!“

“I am so glad they opened this sandwich spot! I ordered 5 items for takeout and it came out to only $34. I got 2 veggie sandwiches on Dutch crunch. Best sandwiches in San Mateo County. I also tried their 2 dessert options. They have the bst carrot cake I have ever had! Their chocolate chip cookie tasted very rich. I had their veggie soup which was fresh and delicious. This place is my new go to spot. The location is a little awkward, but the inside is organized and clean. It only took 10 minutes to make my order. Definitely a satisfied customer!!!“

“sandwich great cookies. great friendly owners“

“You didn't know this before but if you like lunch or enjoy food you should eat here.

First time diner, long time consumer. I made a rookie mistake while ordering the vegetarian sandwich on sourdough. French or dutch crunch roll is recommended. Said I was open to suggestions. Then we added avocado, fresh jalapeno, tapatio, and a side of fries.

I ate half the fries and the smaller cut of the sandwich. I'm excited to be hungry again in about two hours.“

“Had such a great experience at Mendocino Farms! The food was fresh, flavorful, and exceeded my expectations. Everything we ordered was delicious, and you can really tell they use quality ingredients. The atmosphere was welcoming and had a great vibe, and the customer service was incredibly friendly and attentive. Special shoutout to Jalen, who checked in on our satisfaction and went above and beyond by letting us try their cookies — such a thoughtful touch that made our visit even more memorable. My only small suggestion would be to clean the tables a bit more regularly during busy times, but overall it was a wonderful experience and I’ll definitely be back!“

“2026.01.03 Saturday Mendocino Farms in Palo Alto CA is consistently serving great fresh and sustainably sourced foods and improving their services.

“The cleanest subway i've ever been in between california and colorado.It is literally the cleanest and another huge plus is the veggies are nice and fresh.The people are nice, great.I love this subway.I stop eating subway for years.But this one I will be coming to“

“Reliable sandwich/wrap/toast spot. The servings are big, ingredients taste fresh, and flavors are balanced. Nothing special, but every neighborhood needs a spot like this! Seating is tight inside but probably could fit 10-15, and there is more seating outside. Feels kind of lame that they charge a few cents more for a wheat tortilla.“

“We stop here often and the food is always great, which I have come to expect from all Jersey Mike’s. Same with the staff, but I’ll give a shout out to this group tonight. Stopped in with my family to eat and when we were finishing our sandwiches they brought over a cookie for each of our 3 kids.“

“Chai is great, tastes basically as good as Coupa's“

“I know Ike personally and have loved his sandwiches since he first opened. Glad to make this my first indoor dining experience since the pandemic started!“

“Greetings fellow sandwich seekers!
I have not visited in many years and wanted to share my recent experience. Depending on your needs, this could be a nice resource and alternative to other food options nearby. Sandwich, chips and soda came to $17.77 although I did not feel especially lucky: [ 7 | 7 | 7 ]
The service was friendly, skilled and efficient, and yet the takeaway was either I am out of touch with food options on-campus or a high-profile music concert was about to begin in the courtyard based on the meal co$t. In other words, if you are looking for a drink and a snack, they have a nice variety of both. If you are looking for an affordable lunch option that you might consider making a habit, this may inspire you to find your favorite bread at the grocery store, to meal prep your must-have toppings and try the DIY sandwich crafting path instead. If you had a tuna kit and a slice of cheese, would they sell you two nice slices of bread? Maybe next time!“

“The sandwich that myself and my father got was great especially with the buy one great one free deal I would have gave five stars but my sprite and chips was forgotten and they charge me for it. They need to make sure everything is in my order before delivery especially since I was charged for it…“

“The best sandwich I've had in a very long time. Thank you for having such delicious gluten free sourdough bread. 😋“

“I continually have a great experience at Mendocino Farms! Their food is terrific and always fresh. Portion sizes seem reasonable for the price.

The best part without a doubt is their team. Everyone is friendly and greets you with a smile. A special shout out to Ivan L and Edgar who are terrific managers and go above and beyond.“

“Great experience at Subway yesterday night!The staff member(venke), who served me was very kind, professional, and efficient. My order was prepared perfectly and the service was quick. Really appreciate the positive attitude. Keep up the good work!“

“Best sandwiches and great customer service! Really nice guys. Get the number 13!“

“We came to this restaurant on the last day of the coupons validity. The nice woman behind the counter helped me use the coupon for 3 footlongs, because on the last day the program considered it expired. The ingredients are fresh, the subs are delicious. The place is spacious and very clean.“

“Amazing Turkish restaurant! The food was incredibly fresh and full of authentic flavor. The kebabs were perfectly cooked, the bread was warm, and the appetizers were delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast and professional. The atmosphere made us feel comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Turkish food. I will definitely come back again!“
