50 Best Sandwich Shops near Stanford

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

“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…“

“😁Simple menu but decent choices, filling, nice atmosphere.“

“Pricey. But very high-quality. Had a CHICKEN CHOLULA, very tasty, a little bit spicy, enjoyed it. If you get the clam chowder (which is great), they’ll give you toasted pieces of sourdough with it. But if you rather have soft instead of toasted pieces of sourdough, just ask them.“

“Amazing sandwiches and bread!!!!“

“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.“

“I like my sandwiches moist - there is nothing worse when you unwrap that paper around your deli sandwich and wonder if they forgot to put any sauce, condiments on there, and if your lunch experience is going to be drier than dirt. No worries about that at Lou's. By now, I've tried about 7 or 8 of their sandwiches and every single one has been a wonderfully messy delight (extra napkins!). Somehow, their signature jalapeno sauce seems to go with every thing - haven't found a mis-match between that sauce and any sandwich yet. The bread - where the hell are they getting this bread?!?? It is the best deli sandwich bread I've had since I fell in love with the dutch crunch at Sam's Deli as a teenager (oh, those were the days!!). The folks there are great - just cranking out one delicious meal after the next with quiet precision and skill. Awfully nice to have this place right here in town!“

“Excellent service, amazing ingredients, great food options! I ordered a chai, matcha, burrito, and smoothie. All of them had really good, fresh ingredients. The staff was excellent. Above & beyond customer service, great recommendations. They truly make sure you are satisfied. They provide quick service. The kindness was truly a highlight! 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!!“

“My family and I just recently went to Sourdough and had a great experience. The staff were very welcoming and very patient with our group. The restaurant itself was very clean. Tables were brand new with cool designs. The atmosphere was also very respectful and peaceful.

Food was also very exceptional for the price. I had the grilled chicken sandwich. The meat was very tender and overall very good. Others in our group that are vegetarian were also very pleased with their meals. The Caprese sandwich and the ttomato bisque with the side of bread were very popular. The cookies though shouldn't be overlooked. They were very soft and delicious. If you come here you have to give the cookies a try.“

“I always order the #1 Turkey on Dutch Crunch, very fresh with lots of meat. My son loves the Pastrami! Vegetarian options as well. It is a take out establishment, check the hours, closed Sun. and Mon. Call ahead if you can to order ahead of time. Affordable. One of Belmont's finest establishments. (Been going here 23 years)“

“Great, friendly service! Food was yummy too!“

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

“The vintage DragonBallZ sodas made my day!! The service was fast & the 15min wait for spring rolls was WORTH IT—everything was delicious and they made us smile the whole time. What a neighborhood treasure!

Vegetarian options: spring rolls, egg rolls, & a veg/vegan banh mi option!

Dietary restrictions: Great vegan & vegetarian options!

Kid-friendliness: Check out the anime-themed sodas for the kids!

Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible!“

“In July, I placed a large catering order through DoorDash for our company because we absolutely love Mendocino Farms. Unfortunately, the order was unexpectedly cancelled the night before our Board of Directors meeting, which was incredibly stressful.

Thankfully, General Manager Adam Rivera came to the rescue! He personally took my order the next morning and had everything prepared and ready to go within just three hours. His professionalism, responsiveness, and outstanding customer service completely turned the situation around—I went from stressed out to doing a happy dance!

On top of that, the food was fresh, delicious, and a huge hit with our team. A big thank you to Adam and Mendocino Farms team for going above and beyond—you truly saved the day!“

“Awesome sandwiches and very friendly service ! The ruben was delish and the broccoli cheddar soup good also ! Will definitely go back again ! I forgot my pickle though, darn ! Was chatting so much with the friendly lady up front, I totally forgot to make sure they gave it to me ! Oh well, next time ! I'm hoping business is good for them and they can stay for a long time !“

“Mendocino Farms continues to impress with its consistently excellent food and top-tier service. Even during the busiest rush hours, the staff handles the flow with remarkable efficiency and calm. The atmosphere is always happy and welcoming—it’s the kind of place that lifts your mood the moment you walk in.

A special shoutout to Fabio, who is truly exceptional. Generous, attentive, and incredibly good at what he does, he makes every guest feel valued, turning a great meal into a genuinely memorable experience.

Highly recommend this spot—not just for the food, but for the warmth and professionalism that make it stand out.“

“The food is simply delicious. I ordered from them for a retreat i had with about 44 people. Not only was the food decimated by overwhelmed mouths, my friends concluded that Mendocino was going to be the only place we ordered lunch from during our retreats.

Also, I loved how they were quite responsive on phone and how I also found my order ready. One of the staff helped me carry the heavy bags to my car and arranged them for me in the car. This made me feel relieved and special.

I definitely recommend them 💯“

“Delicious sandwich, good attention, very clean.“

“Best Vietnamese sandwiches and super friendly staff!“

“I’m work on my first day of Erik DeliCafe check out Show me tour“

“Love ALL of the menu options and seasonal baked goods! Specialty's is the best. You can order in advance and pick up your order or enjoy it there.

Peet's coffee bar inside the restaurant. My two worlds collide!“

“Always have a great day at yummies“

“Their gluten free wraps allow me to eat any of their sandwiches. I’ve tried their veggie and tuna fish so far. Both very good. Give them a try.“

“Delicious, smokey flavor, tender beef, soft bread and the root beer was delicious! a bit pricey, but well worth it! 😊“

“food is so yummy!! and service is great.“

“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.“

“Its a hole in the wall place. What I loved about the bagel egg sandwich I had is egg was prepared fresh after I ordered. The taste was exquisite. You will feel as if you are eating at home.
Not your sit down place. There are 3-4 small tables.“

“gosh… I remember togo’s sandwiches from the late 70’s and 80’s, best food EVER!!!! I’ve been in louisiana for the last 40 something years and can still remember the taste of those roast beef and provolone sandwiches…YUMMM!! we call them po boys up here.. new orleans says they’re the best but I would drive the 2,500 miles to get one

Kid-friendliness: I always took my nieces and nephews when I could. they take their kids and grandkids now“

“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!!!“

“I went in today and I must say the type of customer service I got was amazing!!! Didn’t get her name but was a short Hispanic lady!! She went above and beyond to help me find some jalapeños chips(she went to the back to check) also her attitude was just amazing!!!“

“The lemonade here is not the syrupy kind, it strikes the perfect zingy balance that you’d want on a warm day. The prosciutto and chicken sandwich was tasty, and the balsamic glaze in it nailed it. It added the tang it was meant to without taking over. It’s self-service, but they are quick and efficient. With benches, and high stools, the space leans industrial, amd somehow it all works together.“

“Been coming hear for years. Never disappointed with what I order here. They have a good selection of beverages and chips and of course the sandwiches are fantastic.

Vegetarian options: Good selection of delicious vegetarian and vegan options“

“Subway eat fresh that is what I did. Ordering online or by the app is the trend these days less contact with other people and germ spreading. I recommend this wrap is tastes delicious. You can customize your food any way you want so knowing what they offer is a big help.“

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

“My husband and I stopped by after seeing Eddie Izzard's Hamlet right down the street. I got the Damon Bruce and my husband got thr Hollywoo. Both were fantastic (though I tried both and think i picked best). The dirty sauce was surprisingly sweet, and the only complaint I have is that it was sweeter than I would have liked. Did not stop me from devouring the deliciousness, though. I will be back if I am in the area again.“

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

“Our 1st time today and the French dip sandwich was DELICIOUS!! We will be back!!“

“Some of the best sandwiches I ever had. They have vegan, vegetarian & gluten free options too! Try the Handsome Owl, it’s my favorite ☺️

Vegetarian options: Most of the sandwiches can be made vegetarian or vegan.

Dietary restrictions: They have options for people with dietary restrictions, such as Gluten Free, Vegan & Vegetarian.“

“Be back real soon! My kind of Sub! Mike's way of course...“

“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.“

“A great subway - staff are always friendly and generous with toppings, especially salad. The seating area inside is very small but the have a larger seating area outside. All their ingredients were fresh. Just be aware to check pricing upon payment - sometimes they forget to apply deals like the sub of the day.“

“I have been going to the Los Altos location since the mid 1970's.......“

“I don't understand the poor reviews, I routinely get the troublemaker and think it's one of the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had outside of Katz in NY and Langers in LA. The pastrami is always super tender, plentiful, and very succulent. The ingredients and bread are always ultra fresh and perfect too. I've only had the French roll but find it to be completely perfect. I tried the same sandwich from Zonattos recently and didn't find it to be nearly as tasty.“
