6 Best Sandwich Shops in Santa Monica

“I was delighted and surprised at the size of the sandwich, considering it's relatively low price, and right in downtown Santa Monica! The service was good, and tuna was filing and delicious. Chill music in the background, and a quaint seating area was perfect my rainy day journey.“

“Very nice veg sandwiches. Their ingredients and the bread are good quality. I had the hungry hippie, and the sprout, sauce, beetroot and ciabata bread were fresh. It was filling and satisfying.

The staff is also very friendly.“

“Tucked away in the heart of a condo community, The Cafe at the Shores is a true hidden gem! It's a little adventure finding it, but the reward is well worth the effort. Owner Mimi has created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the views of the breach, tennis courts, and sky are simply stunning. The food is delicious, made with love and fresh ingredients, and they offer a great selection of wines. We even enjoyed a fun paint-and-sip lunch there! It's the perfect spot for any occasion, from a casual bite to a special celebration. If you're looking for a unique dining experience with fantastic food and a view to die for, be sure to find The Cafe at the Shores. Tell Mimi we sent you! You won't be disappointed.“

“I would like to commend, Ms. Natividad
S., manager of the Santa Monica, CA,
Subway , located at 1221 -A Wilshire Blvd..
Natividad patiently assisted me today,
4/1/25, with installing the Subway App on my i phone as my i phone skills are sadly very limited.. I signed the Subway App,
purchased a foot long , and have become
a Subway loyal customer……:… all because of Ms. Natividad S. courtesy and patient assistance.“

“Everyone writes bad things about Griselda, but she's just following the owner's rules. Today I wanted to buy a sandwich with a coupon, but the steak and cheese sandwich didn't qualify, and she explained why, so it's not her fault. Otherwise, she served me very well and is friendly. All those bad comments are directed at the owner; he's the one to blame.11/14/25“

“Made a special order this morning, asking for an “abundance of sliced jalapeños” on my sandwich.

Y’all. They understood the assignment.

Thank you, morning crew for giving me the best sandwich of the decade. 10/10, would recommend. Give these guys a raise.“
