Sandwich Shops near Lake Forest Park

“I recently visited the Subway located at 17171 Bothell Way NE Suite A002 in Lake Forest Park, and I must say, the experience was quite unique and enjoyable and a stark reminder that you’re never too old or educated to be reminded of the struggles of small business owners in America.

One notable aspect of this particular Subway is their policy on coupons. Unlike other locations, they do not accept any kind of coupons, including those from Safeway. This policy was clearly indicated by a sign, which I hadn't noticed at first.

After being informed by one of the sandwich makers, I decided to visit another Subway.

However, I returned a minute later to take pictures and video for my review.

As I was taking pictures and video, the owner, Tim, happened to be there and approached me to inquire about my activities. I explained my reasons and wondered how he would respond.

In moments like these, especially in business, a person's leadership skills and professionalism can really shine through. Tim proved to be a true professional and an outstanding leader. He generously shared his perspective on the coupon policy.

Tim explained that accepting coupons makes it difficult for him to maintain profitability, as the discounts lead to financial losses. He even offered to open his books and show me the financial impact, which led to a greater conversation.

I was genuinely impressed by Tim's honesty and transparency. He came across as a very genuine and sincere individual. After our conversation, I decided to support Tim and his local Subway by going back in to have dinner. Tim even offered to pay for my meal, but I politely thanked him and insisted on supporting a local business owner.

Overall, the freshness and quality of the food, combined with the exceptional service and Tim's dedication to his business, made for a very positive dining experience.

If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by this Subway to enjoy a fresh and delicious meal while supporting a hardworking.“

“Oyster poor boy was the best sandwich ever“

“Awesome sandwiches and atmosphere.“

“Really glad I stumbled into this place during Seattle restaurant week. Everything we had was incredibly high quality and at a more than reasonable price for huge portions. The owner was also incredibly friendly and made sure to make our first meal here special!“

“There are places that claim to make good sandwiches. Valhalla makes great sandwiches. I have had two competitors sandwiches this week and I was so disappointed. Valhalla puts out a product that’s swings way above its price point. They put “gourmet” in gourmet sandwiches.“

“It’s almost 2 am, I’m ripping thee ole Pennifer Gardner, and I can’t stop thinking about their Italian. Truly a feat of Sandwich engineering. In my time between Seattle, New Orleans, and Boston I have never had a better Italian sandwich. This is a sandwich you write home to mom about.“

“Waited patiently as this shop reworked the old Lyon's Den coffee house here in Bothell, and when I found they were open I went and had them make me a sandwich. And then another. And then a third, and now I'm on a fourth (the joker dip) as I write this review. Because they're just that good. I don't go there daily (I don't want to tire of them!), but what with them being across the street from the post office where my mail goes, it's not only an easy stop, it's a winner as far as the food. Food is quite tasty, staff are wonderful and friendly. This isn't fancy, interior is mostly a no-frills vibe, but you will not regret getting a sandwich from these guys. For any New Yorkers reading this or similarly inclined to this end, if you want your Durkee turkey you gotta buy your own Durkee sauce for home; sorry, I don't make the rules, and I don't know of any sandwich shop in Seattle that carries the sauce.“

“What an awesome place this is. I love a good Sammy find and this is it! Yummy menu with a selection of Sammy's, salads, sides, coffees and beer. The owners and other staff were lovely and welcoming. Check this place out!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Please open one in Cle Elum!! DELICIOUS!! Five ⭐️“

“Please open one in Cle Elum!! DELICIOUS!! Five ⭐️“

“If you're looking for a warm, friendly neighborhood Cafe, look no farther. Everyone who entered was greeted with a kind smile, some by name, other clients promising to return soon. This is clearly a favorite corner coffee and lunch hangout for many. Great place to meet with friends or work for a an hour or two.“

“I visited on 8/31/2024 and it was my first time there. I did look at their website ahead of time to see what they had to offer in terms of food and drink and was not disappointed. The young woman at the counter who greeted me (Did not get her name) and took my order was very helpful. I ordered a sweet tea and asked if there were any lemon slices to add to the drink. She was nice enough to grab a fresh lemon, cut it up and give me a slice. Who does that nowadays? I thought that was so cool of her to do. I ordered the pretzel nuggets which were AMAZING!!! I also ordered the Thai Stick Teriyaki chicken sandwich which was really good as well. I like the vibes of the place as well. This place has a bar inside and while I did not have an alcoholic drink this time, I will be adventurous on my next trip there. Will definitely visit again when I next visit Seattle.“

“Delicious. I eat the Sauteed Prawn sandwich every week.“

“Omg I just had the predator sandwich and it was amazing. This was the best sandwich I ever had and definitely made with love and friendly customer service . I strongly recommend 2 thumbs up.“

“Some of the best tomato soup I’ve had to start with, vegan and deliciously chunky. The Rajun Cajun sandwich lived up to the hype for the most part, but be aware of a small spot with few indoor seats and a 45-ish minute wait between the line and getting food in a Saturday lunch time.“

“Wow, my coworkers told me about Tubs! The sandwich was absolutely delicious!
Coming from the East Coast, I’m picky about bread, but theirs was perfect. Honestly, I feel stupid for not ordering an extra full-size sandwich to take home!

By the way, I ordered chicken Amiga?“

“Ever since Scratch on 12th closed down I’ve been on the hunt for place that makes sandwiches as good as they did, and I think I finally found it.

Much like Scratch, the sandwiches seem a bit small at first, but one bite and…omg the flavors. It’s well balanced, and by the time you’re done you’re full because the meat portions are juicy and generous. It passes my Chipotle test - worth the flavor and not leaving me hungry with a list price around $15.

I plan to try every sandwich they have, but the two I’ve gotten to were excellent. Thick, juicy meat, balanced and flavorful sauces and other items, and soft bread that completes the taste and feel. I even got a free cookie. I’m not much of fan of cookies, but this one continued the trend of being well balanced (and well salted), and everyone I shared it with enjoyed it.

The shop itself it just a counter and a drink fridge, no real place to sit. It works, it’s nice, but plan to take it to go.

I will be back here as often as I can, tho probably not as often as I’d like as they’re only open for lunch.“

“I really enjoy getting my breakfast here—it’s become a go-to for me. The tuna sandwich is always a solid choice: fresh, satisfying, and super tasty. But what really stands out is their kimbap. It’s not always available, so if you see it, definitely try it. It’s hands down better than anything I’ve had in Seattle, Hmart, or even Trader Joe’s. Recently I’ve started trying out the bagels too. I love all the foods here. 🤩

The owners are so kind and welcoming. They always greet you with a warm smile, which makes the experience even better. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back—not just for the food, but for the people too.“

“Probably the best priced and quality subs sandwich I’ve ever ever had“

“The best sandwiches and homemade cookies! Awesome owners. You can't go wrong here ...“

“Closet thing for this NJ guy that makes me smile. Yum on the Subs!!!“

“Great tasting subs. Quick turnaround. Enjoyable to walk to using the Kirkland Corridor. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Vegetarian options: My friend ordered a 12 inch all veggie sub, and does this regularly. I am not vegetarian, so I had a turkey sub, which was also delicious (I did get the "all the veggies" option, however, because veggies are yummy!).“

“The owners were very efficient (granted, I was the only one there), and they have an incredible selection of sandwiches. The breakfast burrito is SO GOOD, the salsa is amazing! The only drawback is that the prices have risen from what's shown on Google.“

“Food and staff were amazing !! 5 star 🌟“

“Just tried this new coffee shop and I'm in looooove.

Been hunting for real Kolaches in the area for ages - this place hits the spot!

The dough and sausage are just right and I'm excited to go back. My small disappointment is I want sliced pickled jalepenos and maybe a sprinkle of cheese on top of my cheddar jalapeño sausage inside the kolache, but this is just personal preference as they are truly delicious and I'll happily take them as is.

The coffee is rock solid, nothing spectacular roast wise but well prepared. The cookie butter latte was lovely but did need an extra shot to balance it out at 16 oz ( I always think coffee stands should aim for 1 shot per 5-6 oz for flavored lattes, people almost always prefer the taste and think it's the coffee quality but it's just a stronger coffee flavor to balance the sweetness. Mercury coffee does this and it's a brilliant hack)

Had a bagel and it was also great - they have real bagels from NYC flown in, yay! Do think it needs a longer toast to maximize the enjoyment of that perfect NYC texture.

Ultimately, these little complaints are just to hopefully get this place to the next level because I NEED them to do well and stick around, hahaha.

Seriously it's a great spot, and the family-owned and operated atmosphere and passion for their products are evident top to bottom. Give them a try!“

“I recently had the pleasure of visiting this subway, and I was beyond impressed! The restaurant was clean, which made for a really comfortable dining experience. The employees were friendly and welcoming, making sure my order was just right with great attention to detail. You can tell the owner truly cares about the business because everything was well-organized, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. And the food was good! Fresh ingredients, perfectly made, and exactly what I was craving.“

“I had such fantastic service from the lady working there on Friday night, 9/27/24. She was so efficient, made my sandwich really well and with care, and asked all the usual questions in a clear voice and useful order. I know it seems like there's not much difference between subway ordering, but she really stood out as doing a fantastic job. She also complimented my sweater, which was really nice because I've had a rough week and it was just such a pleasant thing to hear late night when I was tired and just needed some food. She had curly hair and a bandana, and if there's any possible way to give her a raise or at least a bonus, she very very much deserves it. Really made my night, which is hard to do at a fast food place. Thanks so much for being so awesome.“

“My King Solomon was delicious and messy in the best way.“

“Over the past few months, this has become my favorite Subway location due to its cleanliness and service. It’s definitely better than other Subways in the area and I don’t mind the extra drive to get my order. They recently began honoring coupons for select sandwiches, so that’s been nice. The employees I’ve encountered there have always been friendly which is refreshing. Overall, I think the atmosphere is just worth going out of my way for“

“My experience at Jersey Mike’s was made by Mark!! I have recently broke my leg and am on crutches unable to carry anything. Mark not only helped recommend a sandwich I would like but also helped me bring it to my table, and came to check in the see if I needed anything else! Thank you Mark!!“

“DELICIOUS sandwiches, fresh bread and I watched them slice the meat in front of me! Macaroni salad and chocolate chip cookies also good! I hadn’t been there during this last year and I now wish it were closer to my house! Love this place.“

“I missed Quiznos! I am from Alaska and while in Washington stopped in at this location. The team member served us great! Great attitude and quick service. My dad and I both got the Chicken Carbonara! It was everything I remembered of the Quiznos goodness I desired!
The place was clean as we ate in and I appreciate that as well! Hope to see you all again!“

“I ordered a homerun ham and received the regular one.I Got overcharged! The new way they have it set up you can't see what or how much they are putting on. I ordered the Italian herb and cheese bread she gave me the plain. Couldn't get the order right. Terrible service
I'm updating the rating because there is a very nice Hispanic male employee that is ALWAYS friendly. He always gets our sandwiches right. If he's not there we won't order. He deserves a BIG raise“

“The sandwich was good. Mine took a really long time. I saw people coming in and ordering and getting there's before me even though they ordered after me. The staff was very nice but did. Not cut or wrap the sandwich the way I asked, and I heard the order taker say it out loud. Still, very good sandwich, if really expensive.“

“Great location and the staff is invested on making your sandwich fast. Stopped in during Wednesday lunch rush thinking it was going to be 20min to get my food with the long line, but it was around 7min. Also the older gentleman was joking around with customers a little while making it "Mike's way" which I enjoyed.“

“Simply amazing. I had the Italian toasty plus tomato, onion, hot peppers, lettuce and red wine vinegar plus mayo. Delicious.

The furniture is uncomfortable and it was way too hot inside. I was confused on how to order due to all the people waiting by the counter for their mobile pickups. Thankfully they have an outdoor sitting area so I ate outside.

I will eat h“

“my first time ever going in was this morning , the lady working was very sweet and polite , the bacon an egg biscuit sandwich was tasty and delicious. I'll be back forsure 💯♥️“

“I love going to this subway only because of the awesome service I get from Adaena. Every. Single. Time. I am very picky and she has mastered to perfection the way I want my subs made. She is always friendly and welcoming.
Definetely a great asset to the team, definitely deserves a raise! for going above and beyond, every single time.
*I like the bacon extra crispy and this is how she made my sub today…😍“

“I love that it is clean, so I don't feel I need to worry extra about getting food poisoning. I have some disabilities and they are always very accommodating. The staff have all been very friendly. I generally get the same sandwich, and theirs are the best I have had. I'd imagine that's because they are clean and seem as sanitary as this kind of place can be. I will definitely be going back. Thanks you guys! :)“

“I love this place!! Great food, Great service, and Great atmosphere! :) Daily specials with a vast variety of menu items and catering options. Plus, gluten free options as well (which I truly appreciate). Must try one of their many yummy smoothies-They customize the 'lean and green' for me and add coconut water, it is my personal favorite! ;)“

“Best subs around!! Founded via the east coast!! Best pickles!! Fresh bread too!! Only sub shop I will eat at!!! Like them because they slice the lunch meat fresh upon ordering!! Unlike SW!! Not a fan of lunch meat that has turned slimy from sitting in plastic bins !!! Try it!! U will like it!! They also sell Tasty Cakes from the East coast there!!! If u want a fresh healthy Sammie , Jersey Mikes is de place to go!! :)“

“Best sandwich chain around and I find them to be amazingly consistent regardless of city or state ... My favorite is the Italian and no matter which sub you order ......I'd recommend asking for it to be done 'Mike's way'.
YUM!“

“Usually don’t eat subway, but this place might have changed my mind to give them another try! The crew was super inviting and the food was fresh! I think I talked to the owner and he was super chill! Next time I’m hungry and in the area, I will certainly stop by again for a sub!“

“Eating here on a permanently basis, food is fast, tasty and fresh every day!
There is a worker named Carlos which every time I come he welcomes me with a huge smile and great attitude, would definitely recommend a raise for that guy!
Awesome place!“

“I recently visited the Subway store, and overall, it was a mixed experience. The store was clean, and the food tasted good, which are essential factors for any dining establishment. However, I encountered significant frustration when attempting to place an online order.After placing the order and making the payment, it was repeatedly canceled. I reached out to the store, but the staff couldn't provide a clear explanation or help resolve the issue. This was disappointing because I couldn't take advantage of online offers and save time, which is one of the main reasons for using online ordering services.I would recommend the store manager to investigate and address this issue promptly to enhance the overall customer experience. The taste of the food was satisfactory, but the frustration with online ordering needs to be resolved for a more positive experience.“

“I love this place. I get so busy at work that having the delivery to the office is so helpful. The sandwiches are always amazing. But I really want to say that the delivery staff is exceptional. Deliveries are always fast and they always send a nice texted message. Some of the best delivery service I have ever had.“

“Soooo much to choose from subs, salads, cookies, brownies, chips and even bottle or fountain drinksCustomer's love it to the point if you never had Port of Subs before they have Is suggestions for youI will be back to have other choicesI had the smoked ham turkey and chadder with a brownie and soda I would suggest the number 5“
