14 Best Sandwich Shops in Saint Paul

“I like this place I came in about once a week while I’m running errands. The foods good but I had an odd experience because I didn’t give the employee my sandwich toppings in the right order. I’ve been coming here since it opened and going to sandwich shops all my life and I’ve never had an employee get annoyed with me because I didn’t give my toppings in the right order and all I was doing was going by how they had the ingredients laid out. It just like an strange experience and not what I’m used to since this place usually has a pretty good atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“The team at the Highland Park St. Paul location is exceptional! Every staff member was warm, welcoming and genuinely engaged. The energy in the restaurant was so positive that I actually hadn’t planned to stay and eat, but the environment pulled me in.

It was honestly fun to watch the team together so seamlessly - welcoming and chatting with each guest while simultaneously prepping, building sandwiches, cooking, checking out customers, and keeping the space clean. Everyone seemed to move through each part of the process with such ease and attentiveness, and it created a really enjoyable atmosphere.

And of course my sandwich was perfect and delicious! Huge shoutout to this team! You can tell they take pride in what they do!“

“friendly staff , quick @ lunch Portabello grilled w/ veggies , I enjoyed ! Going back .“

“Really glad that Mama's Market is in the neighborhood. The sandwiches are well made with slightly spicy mama's sauce. I really liked the green smoothie, though it was a little sweet. I also liked the range of groceries and household goods available there. Prices are low to medium. They have bags of plantain chips on the shelf, bulk and 2 lb. bags of yellow split peas (vatana dal) and red lentils (masoor dal). They have many more grocery items that constitute African and America cuisine.“

“Excellent customer service, me & my husband will be back! Great sandwhich & soups!!“

“We had an early morning flight and Josh was so helpful! He made our bagels quickly to go and gave me plenty of cream cheese and napkins. They were a fair price too, much cheaper than the bagels I bought at RSW on our way to Msp. Thanks so much!!“

“There's always only one person working and they have one work speed only but ithe food quality is always on point. Plus typically nobody's gonna beg you for money or cigarettes walking out the door as in other places of downtown Saint Paul. Rip Saint paul“

“I have always had good sandwiches @ Sun Ray JJ's... but today's mighta been the best one yet! Kudos to the awesome guys @ JJ's this morning. My Bootlegger #14 sandwich was freaky fast and so good, totally hit the spot! ++ Nice to see people at work and enjoying each other's company. Everyone was so happy! Thank you!“

“The manager is absolutely pleasant and recognizes me by name as a regular every time I go. ❤

Absolutely cozy and personal feeling service, with good food served well and the way I ask for it. A constantly visited location for me!“

“Food was okay (not a big sandwich person) Nick helped me okay and he was great! I am from Iowa and he helped me navigate around and figure out where I needed to go! �“

“I'm just really writing this review to tell everybody that's whining about Subway and the employees try it for a day see how you feel about customers like yourself coming in and being a holes to them! I've been eating at Subway for many many years only had a problem one time they were closed because I forgot to set my clock ahead so it was really 9: 45 and not 8:45 which I thought it was so it was my bad now stop complaining about the employees unless you've done it or are doing it!!!!“

“I am a vegan so I cannot say much of a review for their sandwich options, but I work at the mall and I occasionally come here for French fries. They always make them fresh, and they give you a really decent serving for the price. In this image this is a large size, and I had a handful already. 😆 The fries are always so hot and delicious!! 🤤😋 They have a decent selection of condiments & seasonings. I really recommend their lemonade it is bomb and definitely hits the spot on a hot day. Services always super quick and on point, employees are always extremely friendly and accommodating. Play overall have a very good vibe and good food. Definitely recommend if you're a french fry lover LOL“

“best sandwich i’ve ever had. whoever was working june 11 2026 at 7pm. two women and one man. this was the best thing i’ve ever put in my mouth. i wish i took a picture of the sandwich but instead enjoy my empty wrapper since it was so good.“

“I was at subway after daylight savings time and the place was packed with kids before 11. The staff did a great job keeping up with the extra business and keeping a fantastic attitude. It looked like Nate was opening the restaurant alone and did a great job with the unexpected early rush. You have a great staff here!“
