50 Best Sandwich Shops near Solana Beach

“Placed an order for 45 box lunches and a catering box…to all be picked up at 10:30am today. I know the Jersey Mike’s guys had to come in early to get it all ready. They were all smiles when we swiped up to pick up the order. Everything was FLAWLESS! Everything was fresh and ready on time. The entire UCSB lacrosse team was well fed, leaving nothing behind. Thank you Jersey Mikes. And Go Gauchos!“

“The name is fitting! Definitely recommend“

“Great food, great selection, great prices, great specials, and GREAT PEOPLE! Visit. Often.“

“The best authentic Vietnamese"banh mi" in Southern California. I live in LA, but every time I travel to San Diego, Paris Bakery is always my first place to visit. They have a variety type of Banh mi with reasonable price, their tastes are always delicious.“

“Edit to add:
I appreciate the owners fast response, going over my receipt with me and refunding me for the over charge on 1 drink - Thank you

I really want to love this place, as it's a local mom n pop shop and convenient for sandwiches, however, this is the second time in the last 3 months we have been overcharged.

Today I ordered a "lite lunch" 3" Tuna which includes a drink. I also ordered a 6" Ham and cheese combo- I ordered an extra bag of chips to complete both meals and was charged for 2 drinks + a medium combo. In short, I was charged for an extra drink at 2.90

The last time we came, we ordered 1 Meatball, 2 ham n cheeses, and made 2 a combo. All sandwiches were 6", however we were charged 2 combos and 2 drinks.

Either combo only means chips, which is 4.85 for a bag, or we are getting double charged for drinks.“

“Always delicious 😋! Always great service!“

“Best BLT on Soda Bread yummy and fresh vegetables.“

“My new favorite sandwich place! Everything I’ve tried here is phenomenal. Loved the Baked Brie! I fully recommend this place to everyone. Just amazing!“

“Great food great staff!!!“

“Co-worker and I go out for lunch every other week. He remembered this place from when he worked down the street from it. So we went here as he remembered it to be good.

Good amount of parking. We walked in and the place itself is dated. The place could use an update. But most people I saw were there for a quick lunch. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The food was priced well. There has been some price increases since some of the other pictures that others have posted with prices. But over all still a good bang for your buck, compared to what you get at other places near by.

For the food I got the gyro with fries. It was packed with meat and the fries were hot and crispy. I forgot what my friend had, I believe a sandwich but he also had fries. We enjoyed our food very much and will be going back soon.“

“cookies are super! sandwiches, salad & soup.. So delicious!“

“Great food and very healthy and delicious salads! The focaccia bread is to die for!“

“Great food, awesome beer selection. You will never regret Moto Deli“

“Great dinner meal. Great food and atmosphere. The staff is polite and friendly. Recommend eating here any chance you get. No entree is wrong choice.“

“They already have great beer and now they have wine, guest beers, AND delicious sandwiches?! I have enjoyed multiple sandwiches and each one is a generous serving that satisfies all your cravings. Just like the beer, the recipes are tried and true! It is a casual atmosphere with friendly staff and patrons. The bathrooms are clean as well.

Vegetarian options: They have a great caprese sandwich and I hear there is a vegan option coming soon!

Parking: Open parking…there is never an issue

Kid-friendliness: Well-behaved kids are welcome. There is an outdoor patio and many options for table games.“

“The best sandwich restaurant in San Diego. Subnman, there were very fresh ingredients in various types of bread. Really I was very satisfied because it was so delicious, the amount was abundant, and the price was cheap. I can't forget Subman, the best sandwich restaurant located in Encinitas, so I want to visit again.“

“Love that they use all the authentic ingredients in a Philly Cheesesteak“

“This hits the spot for lunch. They got decent salads and great sandwiches . The staff is super efficient and friendly . Annnnd they have coke products not the gross petpea stuff . I don’t drink beer but the people that do seem to enjoy their selection. They don’t have a ton of seating indoors so when it gets busy you got to be prepared to park it outside . My favorite are their hot sandwiches .“

“LAS PERSONAS QUE NOS ATENDIERON FUERON MUY AMABLES Y SIEMPRE CON UNA SONRISA Y BUENA ACTITUD POSITIVA“

“No trip to San Diego is complete without a trip to Submarina, I love this sub shop. the guy that runs it is so great and always a pleasure to talk to. keep up the great work guys 🙂“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-star

If you're craving fresh, flavorful, California-cool sandwiches in a relaxed, beach-town vibe—Mendocino Farms in Encinitas is your spot! I swung by today and here's why I’m already planning my next visit:

What I Loved

Flavor-forward sandwiches! I tried the Asian Chicken Salad. Every bite popped with freshness.

Vibe = chill beachtown meets urban green. Bright, clean interior with stylish wood accents, loads of plants, and that slow-California rhythm that just relaxes you.

Friendly staff who get it — Especially impressive, since I'm always asking about gluten-free or low-sugar swaps. They were happy to recommend—and actually remembered my “no sauce, extra avocado” next time.

Quick and consistent service. Even at the lunch rush, food came out hot in under 10 minutes, and they nailed my custom order with zero mixups.

Great outdoor seating. Sun-washed patio had perfect shade-blocking umbrellas and that easygoing Encinitas energy (also dog-friendly for your pup’s occasional snack moment!).“

“It's a great location, with stunning view, and casual terrace. Perfect stop after a visit at the Salk.
I removed one star only because the parking has very deep levels, so you must be very careful if you have a "low" sporting car. Truck / SUV owners, you are fine, plenty of dirt and dust for you.“

“This small mom-and-pop shop offers well-made sandwiches at the right price, though seating is limited to a single table. It's a great spot for a quick and tasty lunch if you can snag the table, or perfect for takeout to enjoy elsewhere. I would recommend the Sante Fe sandwich.“

“We always received great service at Jersey Mikes and this location Encinitas with no exception. The line was out the door when you arrive during Saturday's lunch rush but we had our food in no time at all. The service was awesome and even know they were super busy employee still had a smile on their face. Will definitely be returning this location because their food is amazing as well“

“Great staff! Handled the friday noon rush w/ ease!“

“I come here often. Nice place. The staff in this restaurant is a real team, they get along well with each other and are very attentive to customers. The food is healthy and tasty. Special thanks to Stephanie for giving me and everyone around me positivity and a good mood.“

“I have visited two times now. The egg sando is delicious, slightly sweet, and is very large and filling. The vegetarian katsu is okay. I think that they need a denser sauce to go with it, since the watery sauce soaked the bread and made it kind of soggy. Also the katsu itself had a very oily taste (like the oil it was fried in wasn't cleaned recently?)

It's a very small hole in the wall place that you can't see from the parking lot. You're better off parking and then wandering around towards the back to find it.

It is also pretty pricey for a sandwich. I believe I paid $12 or so dollars per sandwich. But, I did see that they offer happy hour, so I'll have to plan for that next time!

That being said, the egg salad was so good that I came back a second time. It's not quite like the famous ones in Japan, but the bread is fluffy and delicious and you can tell that it was made with care.

Parking: It's very hidden. Park in front of subway or the Indian restaurant and walk towards the back.“

“Sandwiches were addicting! Definitely coming back! So delicious 🤤“

“great sandwich. best in town in my opinion“

“We came in for the first time Aug 17th for dinner. The experience was great start to finish-- the service that night was above & beyond and someone even wrote my 7 yr olds name on the fan chalk board. :) We will be back for more good eats & fantastic service.“

“This was my first time trying out Which Wich sandwiches, and I liked it a lot! Very delicious and affordable.I've tried other subs like subway or jersey Mike's and for me those have to much bread. I love that the bread form this place is very thin, and you get to enjoy the actual ingredients on the sandwich ?Also the guy and the girl attending customers in the morning are very kind and nice, they made us feel welcome and we left very happy ?Thank you! I will definitely come back. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Six stars!“

“Evan was AMAZING!!!! I told him it was my first time trying Ikes and he took care of me with a stellar recommendation. Will definitely be back if that’s the type of customer service you get !!! Life long customer now ! Evan needs a raise!!“

“Just moved to Cali, used to manage a J Mikes in Texas. I’ve gotta say, I love the crew here. So friendly, bubbly, great communication - and obviously the subs are amazing. This is my new favorite location in California! Thanks for making me feel at home!“

“Awesome spot!! Good beer and good sandwich’s“

“I love Jersey Mike's with a passion, and this location never really has a line during my visits. Quality is fresh and appetizing, and service is friendly. Love using my app here for points. Location is safe and appealing.

Parking: Plenty.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp.“

“Get the pastrami with extra secret sauce, it’ll bring heaven to earth every bite you take. Grab a cookie and let the party keep going. Don’t bother counting “carbs”, they won’t count when you find yourself dancing away at life. Totally evens everything out 💃 💃 😏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍“

“We'll miss Greg but the staff in general is wonderful. Granted we may have a problem and eat there too often but today, the young lady remembered our order! Amazing! We miss the one on 7th and McDowell in PHX but this one has our business.“

“This was a nice change for me. Walked in, new look! Warmly greeted! Michaela jumped right in and was so helpful and friendly! She made me a super AMAZING sub! Not what I remember Subway being like at all. The meat, toppings and bread were great! Place was spotless and extra friendly staff! I will be back! And thanks Michaela for your friendly service and warm demeanor. You are a gem!“

“Changing my review from a couple of years back to 5 stars across the board.

If you want a clean, friendly place to sit and eat an amazing sandwich or salad, check out Ike's. I'm a big fan of their vegetarian/vegan options, but there are so many varieties of sandwiches and options, that it's worth your time to go back a couple of times to try several of their offerings.“

“They make really great sandwiches here! I love the Italian sub.

Parking: They have a couple of spots right in front.

Kid-friendliness: Kids love the sandwiches! They can also choose what they want on them.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp for wheelchair.“

“5 Stars for this Jersey Mike's location and staff. They are fast and know how to build a great sandwich that each slice of meat is cut to order! We even had one sandwich with Gluten Free bread that was really good. Love my sandwich built "Mike's way" and always fresh Italian subs you can beat it!

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free bread“

“there were so many vegan groceries and ready made items. my favorite part was that the whole food brand 365 has vegan versions of name brand foods! 365 has their own vegan burgers, chickn patties, chicken pieces, etc. that are a lot cheaper. my least favorite part was how expensive everything was in general“

“Awesome good awesome crew working definitely recommend“

“Thanks a million to Val and her crew for setting us up at Coastal Plumbing with a great Birthday lunch! Everyone loved it!“

“Breakfast is a surprise. Don't let the appearance fool you as the portions are just right. Basic breakfast and egg scramble all with crispy (emphasize on crispy), bacon is well seasoned and presented. Muffins are excellent and well sized. Just be sure to ask and point to the exact flavor and muffin since the look of the muffin may not match the flavor - it can be deceptive (in an interesting way). Overall, very good breakfast.“

“Great customer service from Rico. Thank you!“

“Excellent Thai food in a beautiful setting. You will love the ambience, the food and the service.
The place is nicely decorated, the most beautiful food I have been to. Everything we tried was excellent, cannot recommend highly enough.
The roti and curry is delicious and a must try. Soups are nice and perfect for winter nights.“

“Had the farm Turkey club and was not disappointed. The smashed avocado and pickled red onion are a match made in Heaven. This it’s exactly what I was craving. So good with the dill chips. Thank you for the prompt service also, especially as busy as it was when I was there. I’m a fan.“

“This subway has plenty of parking available. It is a great place to stop when you are running errands at staples or the bank in the same shopping center. It’s very well maintained. There is wheelchair accessible parking and ramps to the sidewalk too. There are a lot of food options nearby if you bring a group of people that can’t agree on what to eat. Subway has options for vegetarians in your life too, with a wide selection of veggies to choose from. This Subway has all the things that Subway is commonly known for. Subway is Subway, set your expectations accordingly.

Vegetarian options: All veggies sandwiches available.

Dietary restrictions: Pick and choose what you want and need here.

Kid-friendliness: As kid friendly as all subways. Good for picky eaters.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. It's accessible“

“came in the other day and was pleasantly surprised! the cashier was friendly, fast and efficient. i have zero complaints. i did not wait long for my food but the food was still fresh. my fries were seriously the most warm they’ve been from any restaurant. they were seasoned nicely but cooked even nicer. they were crispy, soft, and pretty pillow-y. the sandwich was the real star of the show though. i really enjoyed the flavor of the meat and the melted-ness of the cheese. both my food items were perfectly warm and inviting. i’ve never been to Charley’s before but this visit alone made me realize i already want to come back.“
