4 Best Sandwich Shops in Iowa City

“If you are looking for a delicious sandwich, look no further than Nodo. Both the downtown and the North Side location are 20/10 🤌🏻

I've been enjoying this establishment since I moved here (2015) and it's excellent. Every. Single. Time.

Ham and Mango is a fan favorite. I literally crave this sandwich. It's buttery, chewy, perfectly crisp on the edges sourdough bread with juicy, sweet and salty ham, mango, and gooey cheese. Do I have photo evidence? Probably not because I can't wait that long to dive in.

My husband enjoys the burger, and the bacon. My parents love the C&P. During the 2020/2021 closures, this was regular lunch takeout and I tried almost everything on the menu. It's all very good but the ham and mango will always be my default.

We always order one regular and one sweet potato fry. The aioli is perfection. The cookies are huge and sweet. Big enough to split but no obligation to do so ;)

I don't have anything negative to say about this place. The building is a bit eclectic, but that's part of the charm. The downtown location does have the trouble of parking. It's worth it.“

“Great food and excellent service. The place was clean and our order tasted excellent. They have a gluten-free bun and my wife who has celiac has never had a problem so they must be extra cautious about cross contamination. 5 stars all the way.“

“My tummy went grumbly grumbly and I wanted a sandwich.As I was about to pull into the subway driveway, a giant beam of light burst threw my car roof. And there was Shane with my Blt on Flatbread. No need to get out of my car. Shane is the Jesus of subway and deserves a raise. My tummy was full and my prayers were answered. I will forever worship Shane from subway.“

“This place was surprisingly good. The chicken melt was amazing and the bread was crispy. The adjacent coffee shop has a variety of lattes and the vibes are great to hang out as well as do work at. Would totally come back to this place. The current photos of the food do not do it justice.“
