50 Best Sandwich Shops near East York

“A gem. Generous on everything you think somebody might skimp on. Picked up and ate at a East York Civic Center picnic table.“

“Very kind interactions, very clean store plus the staff were amazing with keeping things clean on their end as well, made sure to change gloves when going from table to till, very thorough and great customer service! This is our fave sub place to come to, keep up the great work :)“

“Everytime I come to this location theirs always a issue ..today I was there they had no cash to give me for change. I had to leave the food (they already made the food) collect back my cash and go somewhere else to buy food . Im fed up of this and im not going back to this location“

“The woman working here was great.. She made my sandwich exactly how I asked.. Didn't have to ask for more or less of anything. Hope she stays around that store because I haven't visited there in a while because of past staff and their rudeness actually.“

“We recently visited Kourosh Bakery and Sandwiches and had such a great experience. We ordered the grilled chicken salad 7.99$ plus 5.99$ 🥗, a steak & cheese sandwich 17.99$ 🥪, and also a doner plate 18.99 $🥙, and everything was honestly excellent and good price compared to quality. The first thing I noticed was how fresh everything tasted—the vegetables in the salad were crisp and fresh, the grilled chicken was juicy and perfectly cooked, and the portion sizes were very generous.

The steak and cheese sandwich was just as impressive. The steak was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, and the bread tasted fresh and soft, which made a huge difference. The doner plate was also amazing, with flavorful meat, fresh toppings, and great seasoning that reminded me of authentic Persian-style food.

You can really tell they care about the quality of their ingredients and don’t cut corners. Everything felt homemade and prepared with attention to detail.

What I also really appreciated is that Kourosh Bakery feels like a true local business—warm, welcoming, and authentic. The staff were extremely polite, friendly, and attentive, making the whole experience even better.

It’s always nice to support a local business that clearly takes pride in what they do. Between the fresh ingredients, delicious food, and excellent customer service, this place definitely earned a repeat customer. I’ll absolutely be back to try more from their menu!
Update:
Second time, same experience 😍“

“The scrambled egg sandwich with avocado spread hit just right after the Jays game. I am definitely the most interesting thing you will find on this menu tonight, so if you are a guy with good taste, feel free to say hello when you see me around.“

“I visited Mr. Sub two days ago and had a fantastic experience. The food was fresh, delicious, and prepared perfectly. I want to specifically appreciate Meshwa who served me…she was welcoming and very kind. Her friendly service and cheerful attitude made my visit truly enjoyable. Great job, keep it up!“

“Food was absolutely amazing better than Mr. sub or subway by FARRRR the staff were very inviting and welcoming and warm and very sweet and their food does back them by being very delicious and fresh and just overall great experience highly highly recommend to go over there“

“My favourite Subway location is the one at Rimrock Plaza, mainly because of Sneha. I was so happy to see her working at this branch again. She always gives such great customer service and makes my sandwich perfectly every single time.

I’ve had sandwiches made by Sneha before, and they always taste so good. You can really tell she knows what she’s doing — the way she prepares everything is neat, professional, and with no spills or waste. It honestly makes a big difference. I wish everyone made sandwiches the way Sneha does!“

“I tried the ham and cheese sandwich. At around $14 including tax, it felt a bit pricey at first, but it was packed with fillings and absolutely satisfying.

Unlike some sandwiches that skimp on greens, this one had plenty of fresh, crisp lettuce—just like in the photo. I also really enjoyed the bold flavor of the pickles, and the bread was soft and easy to eat, not dry at all.“

“Great atmosphere and service! I got a Birria sandwich that just blew my mind! Very hearty and fulfilling, good size, super soft buns and the bone broth I got as a side was also very tasty, I’ll be eating there again very soon 👌🏼“

“AMAZING ice cream flavours...my favourite is the Gertie's Peanut Butter Pie. They also make fabulous sandwiches!“

“Naomi’s is one of Liberty Village’s hidden gems. This family-owned mom-and-pop shop serves what is honestly one of the best clubhouse sandwiches in Toronto—fresh, generous, and consistently delicious every time.

What makes Naomi’s truly special, though, is the atmosphere. The owners are incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely care about their customers. It’s the kind of place where you’re greeted with a smile and made to feel like a regular, even on your first visit.

If you’re looking for a great sandwich and a local business that puts heart into everything they do, Naomi’s is absolutely worth a visit. A true neighborhood favorite.“

“Love the sandwiches and service is excellent . Totally recommend.“

“I had ordered online but I selected this location when I was across the city at another. Called into the store to cancel my order because online firehouse support could not help. This is my goto firehouse subs location with excellent service every time I’m in. I couldn’t get a refund online so the manager Vraj was great and told me the next time I was in the area he would make my subs since I had already paid. I came into the store and he made them up for me even though it was four days later. Highly recommend this location and if there is ever an issue They will make it right. Vraj provided excellent service and resolved my issue that firehouse corporate ignored. Subs excellent as always, really fresh ingredients . Puts the competition to shame.“

The pork sandwich was also Great and the double fried fries were delicious ! Oh yes, the staff was very helpful and extreme friendly ! We'll be back !!!!“

“The sandwich I ordered (Meat Lover) was super delicious! Staff are super friendly! Would come back anytime!“

“Just tried this Banh mi place for the first time and got the large pork banh mi with a 7up. The woman was super nice and asked if I wanted it cut, which thankfully I chose because I was surprised by the size! Definitely worth the price and super happy I tried them out before they close for the winter season 💜“

“Everything is just fab! Lev is the best!!“

“Great kombucha - fresh flavours, like a sip of summer. The new themed dinners are fantastic - New Year's Eve dinner was excellent, perfect portion for two and delicious hearty foods.“

“Favourite Subway I’ve ever been to. The ingredients are always really fresh, and the place is always clean. All the employees are welcoming, but especially Kam. He goes above and beyond welcoming and chatting with you, asking repeat customers about their previous experiences and ensuring everything met their expectations. Seriously the best subway I’ve been to in the world so far, I go out of my way just to go to this Subway.“

“Please have more than one staff member working. I was there today and the poor worker was all alone trying to keep up with a restaurant full of customers and many had big orders. Its too much and not fair. Making minimum wage dealing with cranky people.
The employee was great, kind and did the job as best they could but still. I could see the frustration and stress.“

“Went in there today Jul10,2026 Around 9PM
I use this location often,
I wanna say good job to manager or owner, good job to saving money and making 1 person to take orders and make them.
Big line up 6 people front of me , poor guy making sandwiches, i had to leave.

To owner or manager BRING ANOTHER PERSON AND SPEED UP SERVICE
CMONN!!!“

“Palak is incredibly nice and welcoming. She always greets customers with a smile and makes you feel comfortable right away. Her kind attitude and friendly nature really make a difference, and it’s clear she enjoys helping people. Service like hers is what keeps customers coming back!.......Lots of love ❤️❤️“

“I recently ordered from this branch and honestly, it was a pretty solid experience overall. A Footlong Steak & Cheese on Italian Herbs & Cheese, toasted, with all the veggies and honey mustard and garlic aoili sauce. The bread came out warm and soft, and the steak was actually well-portioned. The veggies were fresh and crisp, especially the lettuce and tomatoes, which made the sandwich taste clean and balanced.

What really stood out though was the service. The employee who helped me, Jaime, was friendly right from the start. He greeted me properly, didn’t rush the order even though there were a few people behind me, and made sure I got exactly what I wanted. He even suggested to lightly toast it a bit longer for better texture, and he was right, it made a difference.

The place itself was clean and organized.“

“First time trying this place yesterday. Had the Pizza Jawn. One of the top 5 sandwiches I’ve ever eaten anywhere (and I’ve been to Philly)“

“that chili spread is the bomb!!!“

“I love this place around the corner in my neighborhood. It’s a family run restaurant, the chef father makes so delicious and juicy bagel&sandwich, the cookies baked by the son are also very impressive 😍😍😍 what is more impressive is the price, All Day Breakfast:a bagel with a coffee , only costs 5.99CAD, 6.77 after tax. Nowadays this price can only buy a cup of coffee in Toronto 😅😅 A bagel alone like that would cost at least 12 CAD!!!! When I firstly saw the ad saying All- Day Breakfast 5.99 on the wall, I thought that must be a scam😂😅 Buz similar meal like that in the campus food trucks are at least twice the price. Then one day I finally tried to walk in Papamio’s, it did cost that less and the boss even gave me a cookie for free as a new client 🤩🤩🤩“

“AMAZING ice cream flavours...my favourite is the Gertie's Peanut Butter Pie. They also make fabulous sandwiches!“

“Just grabbed a Nashville Chicken sub, and Pratik absolutely knocked it out of the park. He told me about the gift card and 1 free foot long offer this made me aware of the current promotions which usually I don’t see at other location. Sandwich had Perfect spice, great flavour, and everything put together with real care. His attitude and attention was friendly which made the whole experience even better. He deserves a raise .

If you want your sub done right, Pratik’s your guy!“

“I now go here all the time, actually
Had the Capistrano sammich and it was mouth watering, factually.
Writing this review, not contractually.
Now a haiku, casually:
Arivederci
Ari E il Panino
Is what I would say“

“Had the chance to try this place out. The samich was just fkn good! Had the beef with sausage,good flavour. Bun dipped in au jus , yep, me lo spicko lo fraceois .😂. If your near Bathurst and Dundas, give it a try owner is a cool cat. This dude might have something with this samich“

“Just tried Tut's in Barrhaven today and ordered the koshary. The service was friendly and the food was fast, filling and delicious!“

“One of the best sandwich spots in the city. The sandwiches are packed with flavor, made with quality ingredients, and always taste fresh. The brisket, and BLT are all outstanding, with tender meat and delicious sauces that bring everything together. Seating is limited, but the food is absolutely worth the visit. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious food, value for money Highly recommended“

“I had a very positive experience with Kritika. She provided excellent service with a professional and friendly approach. She was attentive, polite, and ensured that all my concerns were addressed clearly and efficiently. I truly appreciate the effort she put into making the process smooth and stress-free. Kritika’s dedication and customer-focused attitude reflect great professionalism, and I would highly recommend her service to others.”“

“Best subway ever. Had to ask the employee for his name. “Kels” created me probably the best sub ever, bread was perfectly toasted. Gave me good amount of food - had me full yet still had me ordering a second sandwich. Big ups to Kels!“

“Literally, the best Grilled Cheese I ever had. I live in the states but I was visiting Toronto with my friends for our annual girls trip & I’ve been thinking about this sandwich since I’ve been home. I will be flying back soon just for this sandwich. I had the Jamrock w/ Roasted Garlic Tots 100/10 !!!“

“훌륭한 Sandwich입니다. 재료들이 매우 신선하고, 가지(eggplant)가 아주 맛있습니다.“

“The best banh mi we’ve had in Toronto and most similar to what we've had in Vietnam. The women who work here are kind and patient, and service is incredibly fast. Amazing quality and price. My fav is the pork, eggs and pate banh mi.“

“Muy buena comida y excelente servicio“

“I love spinach and they ALWAYS bless me. If you want more, they give you more. I didn't even have to ask.
One of the few locations where the sandwich looks like the photos!
Any of the Filipinas work so hard and quickly, and the service is always immaculate.“

“So Ive had the unfortunate event that i had to contact customer service due to a billing issue I had. Jaime Morrow (business development manager ) with Mr.Sub promptly contacted me back and took over the issue and kept me informed over the process the whole way through. Jaime's customer service exceeding my expectations on every level..Love Mr.Sub even more for this..The best Subs with the best people representing..Also 45 Milner have some of the best people working. Clean restaurant with a staff that truly have a passion for what they do. Keep up the exceptional service“

“I had a great experience at Subway thanks to DJ. He was friendly, professional, and provided excellent customer service. He prepared my order carefully, kept a positive attitude, and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. The restaurant was clean, and the service was quick and efficient. Employees like DJ make customers want to come back. Keep up the great work!“

“was amazingly delicious and the service was awesome quick and fast would 1000% eat there again and again!!“

“My mom ordered the 'meals of the day' since i wanted a cookie and my mom told me we could buy some later if i wanted more, and this pretty lady named Preeti said we could just scan the QR code to leave a review for a FREE COOKIEE, SOOO here I am writing a review. I would say GOOD costumer service and a staff with humor“

“Great food! Friendly service 😊“

“I did an online order. The order says pick up time is 6:20 pm. This store is understaffed. The lady kept serving the customers inside the store. We came at 6:10 pm. Unfortunately, they are now making the order at 6:30 pm. I wouldn’t order online from here.“
