50 Best Sandwich Shops near San Marino

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

“I've been visiting this hidden gem for over a decade, and I can confidently say that their bánh mì remains some of the best I’ve ever had in Chinatown! The #1 option with cold cuts and Vietnamese-style meatloaf is incredibly flavorful. I might be mistaken, but I detect a lovely smoky note that elevates the entire sandwich.
The bread is truly exceptional—fresh, soft on the inside, and perfectly crunchy on the outside. It’s the ideal baguette to complement the vibrant fillings. Every bite is a delightful mix of textures and flavors that keeps me coming back for more. If you’re in the area, you have to give this place a try!“

“Came from Cerritos to find out the hoopla Not disappointed. Very nice people food was great . Be back soon“

“best place ever. been coming since I was 7 yrs old“

“Focaccia bread was freshly made and warm, and the greens of the salad also very fresh and crisp. The portobello mushroom in the mushroom sandwich was very flavorful. My only reservation is the sun dried tomato spread instead of actual sun dried tomatoes. Very healthy plant based choices.“

“Great sandwiches. Fresh ingredients.“

“I come here every week! I love the tuna melt, its to die for! the staff is so kind and makes you feel so welcomed! I love coming to Berges, its a highlight of my week!“

“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!!“

“Retro corner shop serving sandwiches, burgers, and other hot food.
----------
Wet Fries with Gravy
Grade: A-
I don't know what kind of stock they use for the gravy but the flavor is phenomenal. A little on the salty side but not too bad when you spread it out over the fries. The portion size is also massive
----------
Pastrami Dip
Grade: C-
The smokiness of the pastrami is good but it is really salty. I don't know if it's the pastrami itself or the au jus but the salt overpowers the rest of the flavor.“

“Good service and great food“

“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!“

“This spot is a hidden gem for Vietnamese sandwiches. The BBQ pork sandwich is a must-try, bursting with flavor. Every item on the menu is authentic and delicious, making it my go-to spot. I recommend starting with the BBQ pork and exploring the rest. The quality is consistently excellent, perfect for a quick, satisfying meal. I always call ahead for a quick pick up. Parking lot gets crowded but never had an issue.“

“Pane Bianco in ROW DTLA is a hidden gem for artisanal sandwiches and Italian-inspired bites. The bread, baked fresh in-house, is the star of the show—crispy on the outside, soft and airy on the inside. Their sandwiches, filled with quality ingredients like fresh mozzarella, cured meats, and vibrant vegetables, are simple yet bursting with flavor. The casual, laid-back vibe makes it a perfect spot for a quick lunch or takeout. While the menu is focused mainly on sandwiches, the quality of the ingredients and attention to detail make each bite memorable. It’s reasonably priced, considering the craftsmanship and freshness of the food.“

“Not as good as the Slausan location but still a great option for the DTLA area. They gave me the wrong order and I didn't feel like making it a thing so I just ate it even though it wasn't what I wanted. I felt like the lady behind the counter would have made a big deal out of it so I just ate it.“

“Absolutely amazing! I was in town for work, and looking for some good food. Their food is made with natural ingredients and tastes amazing! The people are friendly and helpful. The bread in their sandwiches and subs is made by a non supplier bakery, so it tastes fresh and amazing, unlike chain pizza places! Would definitely recommend!“

“The Hat isn't just a restaurant—it's a part of my personal history. I grew up eating here, and during my college years, it became my go-to late-night spot. There's something about walking up to The Hat, smelling that unmistakable aroma of sizzling pastrami, and knowing you're about to dig into something unforgettable.

Their pastrami is simply the best—no exaggeration. Piled high, tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of fat to melt in your mouth. The sandwich is served hot, with that signature mustard and pickles that cut through the richness just right. Whether it's the classic pastrami sandwich, chili cheese fries loaded with pastrami, or even the pastrami burger, it's always satisfying.

And it wouldn’t be a visit to The Hat without an Orange Bang to wash it all down. That icy, creamy orange drink pairs perfectly with the savory flavors of the meal—it's nostalgic and refreshing all at once. If you know, you know.

The portions here are generous, easily shareable (if you're feeling kind), and always freshly made. I’ve taken friends and family here over the years, and everyone always walks away impressed—and full.

One of the things I love most is that they stay open late, which made them a lifesaver during long study nights and post-hangout food runs in college. You could always count on The Hat to deliver a consistently great experience, no matter the hour.

This place has stood the test of time for good reason. It’s not flashy or trendy—it’s just damn good food, served with consistency and heart. The Hat will always hold a special place in my memories and continues to earn my loyalty with every visit.“

“A huge pastrami on rye, hit the spot!
Back for a pastrami dip and an orange blast, wow. This is a must visit whenever I'm in town!
The place is a real blast from the past, they don't do it like this much any more. I want to try some other sandwiches but I can't pass up that pastrami!!!“

“Food is delicious and just the right amount of spice
taste just like momma used to make. (If not better just don’t tell my mom or I’ll get the chancla)

Also thanks to El Monte memes for sharing this location if it wasn’t for him I’d never realize this place was here and I’ve been driving down Rosemead most of my life

Armando down in the reviews can suck a jalapeño womp womp go eat McDonald’s“

“Black girl who works here is soooo sweet and is a cherry on top of the dine in experience. My boyfriend and I like to get the steak sandwich and the not so fried chicken sandwich and go halfsies on them. Highly recommend. I dream about this sandwich combo“

“Wanted to love this place based on the reviews and pictures, but unfortunately it wasn’t for us. The sandwiches were dry and kind of messy (the paper rips when you open it so a double wrap would be nice). Service was amazing but sandwiches weren’t for us.“

“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 🤤“

“I happened to see one of these on the way to my hotel and it reminded me of the shops they had in Sac. Grabbed a grilled pork bahn mi for lunch with some egg rolls to share. Added a well done egg and loved it. All their sandwiches are really good. I will return if in the area for sure. Great food for a great price“

“Not only they have the best employees and kiwi lemonade/cooler, the sandwiches are on Mom n bub's bread, made with love and humanity. Also, if your judgy, a hater and racist( as the soup Nazi would say) NO SAMMY FOR YOU BABY!😎😋😋😉😉“

“Best east coast style sandwiches in LA no one comes close.“

“My wife has her own sandwich which is a Michelle sandwich turkey, provolone, easy on the mayo and mustard with avocado on toasted Italian roll, just ask for a Michelle they know what it consists of with a bag of chips and pelegrino pamogranit and tangerine try it you'll like it and tell them Michelle sent you thank you and bon a petite ?.“

“Cool place for boba drinks. They make them promptly and the price is clearly posted. $5 for a Thai tea with boba includes taxes. We ordered six drinks and received them promptly. There is a sitting area to enjoy your drinks too.
A cup of Thai tea with boba and ice tastes great on a hot day.
They only accept cash.“

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

“Under new management but the food quality still seems great. Expect a decent wait as they get slammed with catering orders around lunch time and it can take a bit to make your food. Parking is terrible in this lot but you can usually find a spot.“

“I actually take a bike ride early morning this time mad my run had to go by see the donut house open got there it was the cook he said need to wait 4 am that great was there 3:56 you say fresh donuts had to get 1 cinnamon roll 4 chocolate Glaze 2 chocolate devilfool so find to get only 5 m my home appreciate alll Mr V donuts hot cup of coffee“

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

“I always enjoy going to Subway, I find their sandwiches to be flesh and tasty, Yesterday I tried their tuna salad for the very first time and was delicious. The employees take great care in preparing the sandwiches.“

“To the IKE’s Sandwiches team in Monrovia,

I wanted to share my fantastic experience during my first visit to your location. Kaylee went above and beyond in providing exceptional customer service. She took the time to explain each menu item, shared the heart and meaning behind the sandwich names, and made the entire experience enjoyable even before I tasted the sandwich! Her passion and care truly stood out.

Thanks to Kaylee, I’ll definitely be back, and I’m excited to try more from your menu. She deserves a huge shoutout and a raise for her incredible dedication and the way she represents IKE’s so well.

Thank you for such an awesome introduction to Ike’s.“

“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.“

“I remember getting some pretty good bánh mì to take on a flight several years ago, but didn’t know from which establishment. I came here today and it felt very familiar. I’m pretty certain this was the place.

We took advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free deal for the round bread bánh mì. We had the Saigon special, grilled pork and grilled beef. We actually asked for the meatball bánh mì, but they got our order wrong and gave us the grilled beef instead, which we didn’t realise until we got home. However, the sandwiches were still tasty; the meat was well seasoned and the bread had enough bite without being tough.

A decent place if you fancy some bánh mì. Takeout only.“

“I love Donut Factory, super close to my friend's house and really long hours, so we always get breakfast or Super late night food here. Baked goods and their sandwich menu are great, but what's really the best is their drink selection, my favorite is the ube shake! The staff are always super nice too, it's always a delight when they throw in a couple extra donut holes 🥰“

“Nice, that Tomato Soup is exactly what a few of the Top restaurants in the country use. Highly addictive! I rate it a 9 out of 10. I travel a lot and I’m coming back. Everything was great, I just had to tell the tomato soup chasers about this… Hang onto this recipe Dave, very good. Over all this place is a Hidden Secret.“

“Love the sandwiches. By far better than Subway, Quiznos, and my beloved Jersey Mikes. Sorry Jersey Mikes, Jimmy Johns won my taste buds and my co-workers. Psst... Jimmy Johns, can I get a #11 no lettuce add cucumbers? You know who I am at the usps!“

“Great sandwiches. I especially enjoyed the atmosphere and the great service from the owner. A+ for customer service. The gentleman was exceptional. Don’t get quality service like that anymore. Would definitely recommend supporting this sandwich shop. We’ll be back! 🙌🏼“

“The place is interesting, it is within sight of the road, it has parking.
The service is fast, they are friendly, they have space to eat there, their coffee is delicious, the baguettes are a good size, price and taste good, so I do recommend them.“

“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.“

“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 🤗“

“a great sandwich place in Whittier when you're on the go, quick, fast, clean, and great service.“

“The customer service was amazing, the store is almost as if I'm walking into my grandma's house. From the beginning I was welcomed in by a nice lady and whatever Asian soul popper show she was watching 😅. And the cook was nice with his food suggestions. The food was delicious. I plan on coming back to try out their pastrami sandwich.“

“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!👍“

“Recently started eating here and their sandwiches are fantastic. Fresh ingredients and great quality meat. I ordered the wrong sandwiches by mistake for delivery and they were kind enough to remake the sandwiches free of charge. Joe was very helpful and considerate of my issue and fixed it no problem. Will definitely be a usual here!“

“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!“

“This place has amazing bread baguette and its always made fresh. I always come here and get the baguette, because the bread here is good for the next day not like other place it become hard the next day. Services is here is amazing the cashier lady is always nice and kind. I like coming here and highly recommended.“

“It’s the perfect place to enjoy the outdoors over breakfast. The coffee and pastries are also very nice.We had a vegetarian sandwich which was very delicious, a green salad, eggs, coffee and some muffins. Would love to go back here with family and friends.“

“You can’t ever go wrong with some Jersey Mike’s! I have been to several across several states! Oscar I think helped me tonight and he was amazing! Not only at the craftsmanship of my sandwich but at customer service.

The service team did exceptionally well tonight and everything tastes great!“

“The food at Jersey Mike's is beyond questioning the best you can get for a fast food establishment. For some reason they don't have that "chain vibe." The service at this location was impeccable and very friendly in every way, and the ambiance was pretty cool they, even displaying their Point Pleasant New, NJ, origin in 1956. I'm only rating this review four stars because their Big Kahuna did not have any mushrooms as it's supposed to, (and very little onions, peppers and jalapeños). I mean the ratio of protein, cheese to veggies was not there.“
