Whether you’re a Coral Springs local or just passing through to Fort Lauderdale, this sunny Florida city deserves a spot on your sandwich pilgrimage list. From classic Cuban medianoches to innovative gourmet creations, these seven shops deliver the goods. Consider this your cue to plan a lunch tour—or at least make time for a stacked masterpiece before hitting the beach.
El Cubano Sandwich Shop
$ | (954) 906-5110 | WEBSITE
This family-friendly Cuban spot is the kind of place where you can stroll in craving comfort on a weekday afternoon and leave satisfied, content, and reminded why simple food done right is everything. The authentic vibes are genuine: clean white-tiled counters, warm wooden tables, and an open kitchen where you can watch the staff assemble sandwiches and pastries with care.
Served all day, the pan con bistec will make you question why tender, well-seasoned steak isn’t the default for every sandwich, and the guava and cheese pastellito will become a new obsession. For breakfast or a quick bite, go for the Colada or the Cuban sandwich, along with a mini Papa rellena—it’s basically a taste of Havana in Coral Springs.
Laspada’s Original Hoagies – Coral Springs
$ | (954) 345-8833 | WEBSITE
For satisfying Italian-style hoagies made with care, head to this straightforward, welcoming sandwich shop. The signature Italian sub is a must-order—freshly cut meats, crisp vegetables, and that generous ‘meat blanket’ on top—while the customizable options with daily-cut ingredients keep regulars coming back.
Chicken Salad Chick
$ | (954) 775-0006 | WEBSITE
You’ll find some of the best chicken salad and sandwiches north of Miami at this cozy, low-key eatery. The Fruity Fran is perfectly balanced, and pairing it with the broccoli and cheese soup pushes it over the top. The chicken melt is the size of a small novel and will fill you up for hours. It’s a casual, quick spot with a homey dining area, ideal for grabbing a satisfying but affordable lunch or dinner.
Subway
$ | (954) 753-4009 | WEBSITE
It may not be the original Subway (that one opened in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1965), but this Coral Springs location, which has been operating for years, offers the same reliable, satisfying sandwich-shop fare in a clean space with bright lighting, simple tables, and staff clad in uniform shirts and aprons. It all makes you feel like you’re getting exactly what you came for, in a good way.
Despite its straightforward approach, the team at Subway isn’t afraid to go the extra mile, like Jeremy, who adds generous extra toppings and engaging conversation, or the fresh protein bowls, which swap the usual sandwich format for a hearty, customizable meal.
El Cubano Sandwich Shop (Atlantic Blvd)
$ | (954) 688-9139 | WEBSITE
At this hidden gem of a Coral Springs sandwich shop, ordering is as straightforward as pointing to the Cuban classics listed on the menu board. You’re here for the popular Cuban sandwich, which is perfectly pressed and comes with a side of super fresh and crispy sweet plantains, and the highly praised Steak Sandwich that’s even better when you add a dash of their house sauce.
The portions are generous, and once you taste the food, you’ll understand why this friendly, clean spot has become a local favorite. There’s a nice atmosphere with simple seating, so plan on enjoying your meal right there or taking it to go.
Jimmy John’s
$ | (954) 340-3652 | WEBSITE
Stop into this rustic, casual spot for delicious and filling subs, packed with fresh ingredients and crispy bacon. It’s a popular place, so be prepared to wait during peak lunch hours, but service is quick, so don’t be deterred if you see a line.
