California Sandwiches

I just moved back to the area and tried this location for the first time in years. I used to think this was a decent sandwich but not as good as the original on Claremount or my second favourite location on Queensway.
Have to say they’ve upped their game a bit. The sandwich was good the bun was fresh. Had the meatball as well and it was pretty good too. The staff was super friendly and the menu and signage changes bring the place up to date. My only complaint is they don’t put enough sauce on the sandwiches but this is easily corrected by just asking for more.

The young blonde woman who served me at the cash register the past couple of times really needs to learn a thing or two about customer service. I’m not quite sure who this ‘princess’ thinks she is, but I’ve never encountered such a phony. Her insincere smile is about as genuine as her hair colour with the expression on her face fading back to indifference as soon as customers backs are turned. It’s quite apparent that this individual feels as though she’s above everyone she serves. As a minimum wage employee working at a Mississauga sandwich shop, of course she is. What was I thinking? The fries are terrible too. Would give zero stars if at all possible.

This is the worst customer service I’ve ever seen in the food industry. Someone needs to teach the employees how to treat the customers who are paying their wages .long time customer and won’t be back

Good sandwiches and good service. The girls serving were great and very helpful. The food is on par with the downtown location. Very clean eating area. Overall a good dining experience.

Wow what bad service! The girl at the counter very rude to me as well as the poor lady in front of me. when I asked her if I can get one sandwich a bit spicy she pointed her finger to the back over her right shoulder while looking right passed me. Took me while but I realized she was pointing to the menus! Hahahaha felt like I was disturbing her by spending $ 20+ of my money on two sandwiches! So sorry that I came to this place. service counts a ton

Used to be a great joint to grab an Italian sandwich. Has gone downhill since its opening. The girls behind the counter NEVER smile… and while they aren’t rude, they certainly aren’t friendly. I’ve stopped going here altogether because of the service. It’s a shame too bc I’ve been a regular of this location as well as the Etobicoke one.
Smile girls! If you hate your job that much do something else.

I dropped by for a quick lunch on New Year’s Eve, and two girls behind the counter were some of the worst customer service I ever had! If it wasn’t for their sandwiches, I would never return.

Great spot for lunch since it’s close to my work, and easily accessible on a major street… I really like to go here when I’m either hungover or it’s super cold outside and I feel like a hot sandwich. It really hits the spot!
Really big sandwiches. I usually get the veal or the chicken, both are really good. I like to add an eggplant slice along with mushrooms, cheese, and jalapeños. It starts off as an $ 8 sandwich, but after all the add-​ons, it comes to ~$ 12.
Note: Go light or easy on the sauce, otherwise it becomes a mess.
No cups of water available for free, so you have buy a drink and now you are looking at a $ 15 lunch, which is on the high side, especially for a day-​time meal.
I would have given this place 4 stars, but they shitty paper napkins where you have to use a bunch of them, and it never seems like enough. That’s my biggest pet peeve when it comes to casual dining.

Overall, this place is pretty good. The sandwiches are filling, however, they are indeed sloppy and not the best quality out there. They are worth a try if you are in the mood for this type of cuisine.

The «veal» sandwich is actually red meat I believe. It was a big, sloppy, oozing mess but I enjoyed it. Bottled drinks to choose from with the ‘wich.

3.5÷5
Tasty and filling veal sandwiches, although I cant say it was very fresh. For what it is, it’s probably a tad overpriced to come here too regularly but I’d definitely comes back.

Massive sandwiches, I go here to get my fix of Veal and it satisfies me everytime. Poor service though, ive been here mutiple times, and have never felt welcomed. 8 bucks for a sandwich the size of my head is a decent price I guess.

Not sure of the negative reviews, but I think the sandwiches are decent on its own and this is a popular local joint in the area.
Really good solid Italian sandwiches that are HUGE to eat. For less than $ 8 a bun, you will definitely be stuffed. Veal sandwich seems to be the most popular choice as it is quite tasty, I got the meatball which is also very good as well.
Bread is soft and moist with a 80% meat and 20% bun ratio. The meat and sauce tastes homemade and good to eat when you want something else other than a burger. Not the cheapest thing for just meat-​on-​a-​bun but you can add onions and jalapeño peppers for free. Beware — the jalapenos are spicy like death and required several cups of milk.
Worth a try!

Food at this location is well below average as far as other California Sandwiches go. And the icing on the cake is the rude female cashier with ugly spotted tattoos all over her neck. Left me standing at the register over 5 minutes while she’s just giggling and gossiping with her coworkers instead of taking my order.
Will definitely not return and don’t recommend at all.

Big, tasteless, overpriced veal sandwiches. Maybe because I’m a regular at the sandwich shop at the St Lawrence that sells the same thing. Will NOT be back.

The sandwiches here have always been great. I go to two other locations regularly as well and the food is always good. Best Italian sandwiches. You can’t go wrong with the veal or sausage w/​onions, mushrooms, sweet peppers, zucchini, and cheese. Makes for a gigantic sandwich but it’s so worth it!

I personally will never eat at this place ever again. I ate a meatball sandwhich and I couldn’t eat more than 6 bites without gulping down something to drink to wash down the taste. In the end I was debating whether to ask for a refund because it was like $ 14.00 or something like that and I ended up throwing away more than half.
I don’t consider myself a very picky eater and I’ll usually eat almost anything… but this was flat out disgusting. When I came home and told my mum that I ate there she said «Ohhh you didn’t get the meatball sandwhich did you»… Maybe similar taste buds got transferred genetically there… Either way thats 2 reviews in a nutshell.
Maybe I’m coming across a little harsh since I really only tried the one meal there… my girlfriend had the veil and she said she liked hers. Nevertheless, I will never eat there again and if you decide to, Don’t get the meatball sandwhich.
