Italian Sub is my go to! I wish I took photos but I usually devour half as I drive home. The bread, the boars head meat and melty cheese *chef's kiss* definitely give this place a try.

Had the chopped cheese - so good I could eat two on my own.

Over 12 years I’ve probably spent 1,000’s here and yet never thought about reviewing this place until just now. Solid lunch spot if you want Quality ingredients and fresh Everything! No longer a cheap place for lunch it then—where is? No regrets and get the French dip if available. Worth the wait if there is one!

Ok you need to stop here, the food is excellent. I tried the lobster crab sandwich for my first visit and can say it was delicious! I will be back and I will bring friends.

The crew is great, the place is not hard to find but Google maps and Waze may take you to Starlight Street and don’t do it , just stay on Spruce and they are right on the corner.

Eat here and you will be happy!

PLEASE READ! small sizes and pretty mid tier quality. At nearly $15 for a basic sandwich I felt it was pretty underwhelming. Nice owner but I would go to a place with larger sandwiches like Tianis Deli about a mile away or Subway

Absolutely killer little joint; the owner is super charismatic & slings out a wide variety of sammies. Italian sub always rips and they make a veggie sandwich that doesn't suck like most other places.

Prices are super reasonable and they even have a separate menu for stuff they can make quickly if you're on lunch break & in a rush.

This place is legit and more of a ifykyk spot. Behind the bread spot, these sandwiches are worth finding this spot if you’ve never been. The chili was so good and sandwich ingredient quality is very high.

This place was recommended to me. The sandwiches are fantastic and their chili is just as good! I've been there three times now and will definitely go back the next time that I'm in the area.

I’ve only tried two of them so far, the tuna and the Italian Sub; but they were the Best; so awesome that I want to go back for them ALL!

Parking: If you’re familiar with buying Raymond’s bread, you know there’s a huge place to park. They are in same building.Although Subculture does not use Raymond’s bread ( it’s two different businesses) their Italian rolls are awesome! They are soft and not too bready!

This place is by far the best sandwich place in the Bay Area! Hard to find but once you do find it, you’ll be a repeat customer! My go to sandwich here is the Hot Pastrami!

The sandwiches are pretty good basic sandwiches, and the chili is more like a bean and veggie soup. Not a place to go out of your way to visit.

Sandwich was so good it made me wanna clock out, go home, and enjoy the rest of my day. But in all seriousness, a very genuinely great sandwich shop!
