On Townsend Avenue in Boothbay Harbor, Marcel’s Submarine Shop stands out with the aroma of bread baking fresh each day. The small shop has quickly become a favorite stop for hearty sandwiches that feel homemade yet inventive.

Subs here are layered with care—traditional Italian combinations, rich cured meats, and cheeses, along with baguette sandwiches that bring a touch of French flair. The menu also rotates with soups and salads, giving regulars something new to look forward to alongside their favorites.

Marcel’s has carved its niche in a town best known for seafood by showing that a great sandwich can be just as much a coastal Maine tradition. It’s quick, satisfying, and full of flavor—perfect fuel before or after exploring the harbor. #MarcelsSubmarineShop #BoothbayHarbor #LocalEats #CoastalMaine #SandwichSpot

Stopped in after visiting the botanical gardens. So glad we found this place. The smell when we walked in let me know the food would be delicious! Ordered the turkey sandwich and the double down. Fresh ingredients and nice soft bread. Quick service and very friendly. Will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Great subs, quick friendly service, top notch i highly recommend

This is one this place you have to go to if you are in Boothbay Harbor. The bread for the subs is so fresh. You can't go wrong with any choice of sub. Tim is very fun to talk to as well, but not a big fan of retro clothing. Fyi ;-)

Fresh daily baked sub rolls and quality fresh ingredients made for a delicious sub 😋
The owner (I believe ) was very nice,accommodating and service was top class. If you’re looking for a delicious sub and great service this is the place ! Oh and in the afternoon there is a whiskey bar out back 😉 Will be back every year we visit the area!

My wife and I each had the harvest turkey sub and it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The bread was just out of the oven and was incredibly soft. This is the way a sandwich should taste. Speakeasy in back was closed but owner kindly showed it us, will be back for a date night ASAP.

Eat the Godfather enough said. Great food and atmosphere

Great little spot in town for a fair size sub with amazing ingredients. Cozy atmosphere and the guy who works there is always pleasant. Definitely a spot for lunch!

Had the walking stick. Hands down Best sub I have ever had and the Staff are absolutely amazing people. Beyond helpful and just great people.
