43 Best Sandwich Shops near Kensington

“Ordered a delicious grinder here. Food was made fresh and tasted great! Staff was friendly and food was made quickly right in front of my eyes. Meat is sliced to order. Can’t forget to grab one of the chocolate chip cookies for dessert. Restaurant is clean.“

“Staff is friendly, food is good. I like to get lunch from this place.BMT or Tuna are/were my go-to subs...In light of news stories in regard to Subway Tuna fish not actually being Tuna, but instead some sort of mixture of other fishes, I will probably just stick with the BMT Subway subs moving forward. My choice of bread varies between the Italian or wheat, but I always get it with Provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, green peppers, black olives, jalapenos, and a dash of salt and pepper. Sometimes I get a splash of oil and vinegar, but often times I get it without it so I can let it sit or only eat half (six inches) and save the other half for later or the next day without the bread getting soggy.“

“Incredible food and the owners are some of the most friendly and down to earth people I've ever met. Highly recommend the Mac Attack and the Empire State Chopper, both are fantastic and delicious.

Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.“

“Delicious best sandwich and staff Southington CT.“

“Not bad, very good. Good food & good people.“

“I come here every Tuesday for lunch and Samantha is always so pleasant happy to see her moving up on her position she deserves it“

“I love going to this subway simply cause I used to manage it when I was 17 Years old. Well I was in there the other night and ordered a sandwich. Unfortunately when I went to pay my card was not working due to a fraudulent charge . The girl told me it was OK and that she'd use her sub bucks to pay for it. I was a little embarrassed but very grateful she helped me out instead of throwing it out and sending me on my way. So tonight I repayed her with 20 bucks. She seemed very grateful for that . Terry if your reading this give her a raise lol i think her name is Rebecca . People like her are worth their weight in gold and are a complete asset to your company.I'm glad you still have awesome employees at this location!! I will never stop going to this location!“

“Avvetura is becoming my go to Deli. And the bakery is awesome as well. The food is always so delicious. I love the variety of sandwiches, meals and baked goods. I never leave hungry!!!“

“OMG🤤 I ordered from DoorDash spectacular experience but whoever made my grinder I want to bow at their feet because DELICIOUSNESS to the 1000th power🫡 it was EVERYTHING a grinder should be I felt like a pig grunting with every bite 😩 I really need to know who made it because I want to tip them big. The Newington location Fenn rd. has me in a grinderhold 🥰 I don’t have any photos because I ate the whole thing nonstop 🥴“

“I live in west haven which is about a 40 mile drive, and this place never disappoints and we frequent often! Best sandwich’s in the state hands down!“

“Panini was good but the accommodation to me being celiac (Gluten free) was great! They switched to new gloves without asking and when they accidentally touched regular bread they made a whole new panini without even asking. They also wrap the panini in tin foil before pressing. One of the best gluten free experiences I’ve had for a fast food-esque restaurant!“

“Wife and I loved the chicken cutlet with chipolte sauce, mother loved the turkey, son loved the chicken salad, support your local family businesses.“

“Out favorite sandwich shop. Quaint hoe atmosphere. Always crash food“

“I have to say, if all the SUBWAYS in our area... This one was the best. Actually put enough toppings. Didn't skimp. I will go back (To this location) over any others. And, they actually do the offers! Well done staff. Friendly. Clean. Easy parking.“

“Quantity and quality ⭐️ best salads and desserts“

“Incredibly friendly staff! Clean environment and VERY delicious 😋 Thanks for being so incredible guys!“

“We got the vegan combo grilled wrap with roasted red peppers and without the special veggie mix, but we asked for some on the side when we went in to pick it up. (I’m not a fan of green peppers, and my husband can’t eat raw onions, so this way we could pick and choose. Turns out the green peppers were perfectly fine! They must have mellowed while marinating.). We chose the whole wheat wrap. It had a nice nutty flavor to it.

The “carpaccio” and/or “prosciutto” was quite nice! It was way more tender than most other vegan deli slices I’ve had. (Apparently they import it from Italy). The flavors were excellent!

We waited a few hours before eating it, since we got it for a later lunch as soon as they opened at 10:00 and kept it in a cooler. It was a little soggy in places, but still quite tasty. I definitely recommend it.
It’s packed with so much “meat” I’m glad the two of us shared one wrap.“

“I gave it a 4 because out of 10 employees that works here there’s always one who is rude and I’m always lucky to get that guy every time I go here. You can’t help it there’s always going to be one bad apple but overall I’m pleased with the service and food. Time greeted every time I walk in and everyone (expect that one dude) is busy working on orders.“

“Made a quick stop on our way down south about 2 weeks ago. The 2 guys were working with the NICEST people I have met in a long time offering water for our dog (my husband had kept outside) and making small talk. Great atmosphere and good food. These guys made our day on a long trip“

“Our sandwiches were delicious! Tonight the man working was helping a woman before us, she waited until the last second to complain about how the worker made her sandwich and she said “Your manager will be hearing from me” when he said “do you want me to remake it?” she said “no. let me pay so I can leave.”The man working tonight at this store on 5/23/24 was very kind to us, was attentive and made our sandwiches perfectly. He did not deserve to be treated like this by the previous customer. I hope he does not get reprimanded for it. Thank you!“

“The two gentlemen that run the show during the lunch rush are amazing kind individuals. They always have a smile on there face and its refreshing to see people excited at work. My food always comes out perfect. Been coming in 1-2x a week the last 6 weeks and this is the best subway in the area.“

“I have been coming to this place since 2019. The service and food here are both really good. I really think you’re fine story because it is on the second floor of a tall building in Hartford called city place1 i’m the elevator fan so me and my grandfather ride the elevators at city place every time we stop to come by the restaurant.“

“Fantastic venue. Chef Danielle is amazing!!!“

“The best Latin restaurant in Hartford ct and I been living here for 36 years Hands down !!! Clean professional fast service The food was delicious and the decor don’t even go there . It made me feel like I was home Will recommend this restaurant to anyone that’s hungry and will like to feel like they at their abuela house . The price is great !! The natural tamarind juice with the puertorico flag on top was what got me !! Love it and will come back Five stars!!!“

“Make sure you guys check your sandwiches before you leave this is my second time getting a sub here and they dont put what i ask on my sandwich and i say it more then once charging me extra for stuff i dont even get on my sandwich im over them“

“Just had the pleasure of meeting Tony, who whipped up the best veggie patty sub I've EVER had at a Subway.He was super friendly & positive, which is a rarity in fast food workers. I remember when subway workers used to be called "sandwich artists", Tony was just that. Got it made perfect & quick!Give that man a raise or at least some kudos!“

“11/09/24- I stopped by after work heading to the hotel and George was on duty. He was busy, but immediately acknowledged me and went to wash up and came back happy.

We discussed the subs and he recommended #34 Spcy Nachos Steak. He added the way it says, but without green 🫑, extra jalapeños.

This is day two experience and I don’t know if previous reviews were out of anger because I have had great customer service.

11/08/24- I haven’t been to a Subway in years and today I stopped by for the $6.99 special. I walked in and was loudly greeted by Ilvin who was friendly and made me feel like I’m an old customer. He made all the customers feel comfortable and happy to be there.

Subway has so many new meals I asked Ilvin about the different subs. Ilvin did not seem put out and he went over the breads, the meats and all the toppings. He made it easy to order but hard to choose 😋

I ordered #23 Hotshot Italiano Sub based on his recommendation and it did not disappoint because I enjoyed every bite.

He wasn’t stingy with the jalapeños and he added just enough sauce that it didn’t make the bread soggy.

Ilvin explained how to earn points. If he isn’t the manager he is manager material with his positive attitude. I asked about the other guy in the back and Ivin said they are a team. I was impressed he spoke well of his staff.

I leave in a week, but I may start eating a new subway every day thanks to Ilvin and my great experience! Ya Sabes! 😎

Kid-friendliness: I am sure they have a sub for every kid. If the kid is picky or not, chubby or thin there’s a sub on the menu for them.“

“The store was clean, everything was fresh and the staff was very courteous. When checking out they wouldn't honor a coupon because we didn't order one of the 'allowed' sandwiches (listed on a small sign at the cash register, clearly created by the manager) - there were no restrictions on the coupon.“

“I love subway. To be honest I eat here a lot more than I should, but the new revamped subway is killing if! I love how everything is more fresh and healthy. The tuna subs are my go to. I literal die for a tuna sandwich every other week or so. If your looking to get loaded up with as much veggies, and other toppings for your sandwich (if your a sandwich lover or extraordinaire like myself I wouldn’t say subway makes the best sandwich’s but for something that’s located literally every there I’d say it’s worth it) I love the atmosphere when I walk in the music is just right and the wood from the floors is clean and smells like pine sol. (Keep in mind it doesn’t always smell this way) but hey nothing last forever. Except for the taste of that delicious sandwich as I wish for more do that sweet onion teriyaki sauce. Ohh man. 5 stars!“

“I visited Subway yesterday to grab a tuna sandwich, and I was truly impressed. The Sandwich Artists were exceptionally interactive, attentive, and made the experience even better. Their service was outstanding, and I genuinely enjoyed my visit!“

“The subway in Portland, Connecticut is pretty much the only good subway in my whole area. Subway used to be the best fast food place, but they have all gone downhill. And this one in Portland is great because all the vegetables are fresh. The people that work there are not only friendly, but are very helpful and genuine. And no other subways are this good. This has been a long-standing subway and I come here as often as I can.“

“Went at 9:00 pm, someone standing outside of the drive thru window. No car. I pull up to place an order waited 5 mins and no one even acknowledged they would be taking my order. Needless to say I left. They will not be getting my business. 4/13/22“

“Excellent food every time I go! 🫶👍
Everyone who works here is nice, efficient, and helpful. One guy sings sometimes, love it, fun! ☀️
Today I had the Good Egg sandwich on sourdough and added bacon, delicious! A masterpiece! 😋 Thanks to the young woman working for the suggestion, great call!!! 👍
Thr coffee smells amazing!

Parking: Free parking in the parking garage“

“I visited this location on January 8 2026 hangry after a 19 hour trip. I was tired hungry thirsty and just wanted a sandwich. I’d like to mention the customer service was superb. They welcomed me no waiting my sandwich was made just the way I ordered it. The young girl was kind and payed attention and got it just right. After mentioning how tired I was from my trip the 3 employees including the girl busy filling the cooler listened to my moaning and groaning and they just lifted my spirits. This happened at about 2pm January 6 2025. Please acknowledge their great customer service and the attention to that amazing sandwich. Job well done.👏👏“

“Good place the workers are fast and efficient. They also change their gloves frequently. The prep station is clean and the meats and veggies are fresh. The only thing complain about is the amount of bums outside it’s not just one it’s multiple asking for money or to buy them something it’s actually pretty annoying and some of them are disrespectful. Why are they allowed to be on the premises? pan handling is illegal. But other than that the food and service is good.“

“Decided to give Jersey Mike’s a try and see what all the hype was about. Let me tell you…THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT! I had a simple Turkey with lettuce and tomato, but elevated to the 10th degree. My mom got the Portebella Cheesesteak and she absolutely LOVED it! We’ll be back for sure!“

“I eat here periodically. It is always good. Quick. If I were to compare it to other-like sub shops (Subway, Potbelly’s, Jimmy John’s, etc.), I’d say it is at the top or tied with Potbelly’s.

I also just used them (through EZ Cater) to cater a work event for 45 people. I ordered 7 platters of grinders. The package came with bags of cookies and pasta, potato, and macaroni salads.

They included 70 bags of chips, sealed containers of mustard, onions, sliced peperonchini, mayonnaise, and 7 bottles of oil for the sandwiches.

I was delighted to find plates, napkins, and plastic utensils among the bags.

Delivery showed up at exactly the time requested.

The entire process was easy, and everything showed up as expected, and with a few pleasant surprises. My team thoroughly enjoyed everything.

I’d also add, that I placed this order within one day of the event. The fact they could support this, in this manner, on such short notice, is nothing short of impressive. Great job!“

“the chocolate chip cookies are better than crumble. the huberts lemonade there is also scrumptious and never fails to bring me a nice thirst quenching. i also likes the workers, especially the one with the name tag “kitty kat “ he is a handsome young man and never fails to get me right with a hood sandwich. these young people at subway never fail to bring me a taste of freshness i will never forget. thank you“

“If you’re getting a sandwich here, do yourself a favor and *ALWAYS*A ask for the Sandwich Mamma! You’ll know who I’m talking about - she’s the one who puts that extra love and care into every sub. Every time, without fail, my sandwich is a masterpiece. I don’t know how she does it, but she’s got sandwich-making down to a science! I've been coming here for months, and it’s all because of her expert skills. 10/10 every single time!
[Pictured, a *very* specific version of the Veggie Delite - as I'm very particular lol!]“

“I've never had an issue with this specific store. It's a small Subway, but the guy that works there is extremely kind and friendly and the food comes out as it should. I only go to subway if I'm working a fast paced day and this one is absolutely fine.

Get the sandwich meal of the day and have a healthier, cheaper meal than going to other fast food places.“

“Absolutely the best grinders on the south end of Hartford Ever thing was fresh and spotless these guys take pride in there craft just let them make your sub with there twist and you will be mind blown i was. THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING SUB and don't forget to tip“

“This review would have been very different if I did not get in touch with the manager on duty (Jermaine). I appreciate your understand and quick resolution of the issue that had came up yesterday. Today's sandwich was delicious and just how I would like to enjoy. Jermaine you are great but I had to edit this post because I am on my 4th bite and found a long brown hair in my sandwich! Just called back and your shift had ended I appreciate all you have tried to do for me to resolve my first issue.... I would recommend hair nets or hats especially to those with longer hair“
