Subway

Tiny little kiosk subway at Bloor. I came at dinner time on Friday and there was only one employee and three customers. It meant that the sandwiches took a bit of time to make. I can only imagine what it would be like during a lunch rush…

This Subway is very small and cramped, but you can’t really give them trouble for that because it’s a great location. The service is what you would expect for fast food and there is usually a pretty long line up during peak hours such as lunch and the dinner crowd.
I come here for a quick bite after the gym and make sure to never sit down and eat as it is crammed inside. Be sure to get your food to go and eat at the Starbucks next door after ordering a coffee. At least there you have plenty of seating and free WiFi to boot!
The menu is typical of any Subway, but make sure to get the new avacado topping on your sub or salad. Glad they finally added it in Canada, it makes a big difference in taste to any sub! Overall i’ll drop by here if I’m in a rush and have that sub craving!

The sad thing is that I will probably eat here again :-/​as I work across the street…
Just as a warning for those who enjoy subway, this is one of those locations that has rushed staff who always manage to make your sub in a way that pushes alot of the toppings out of the bread… If you frequent subway like me I’m sure you know what I mean.
I think its because they are so rushed to get everyone out of the claustrophobic inducing space (honestly the entire place is maybe one forth the size of my bedroom if even that…).
Some places do it right, this place does not. Avoid if you can!
Ps. There is one at Bloor and Sherbourne that, while they still have issues putting the sub together, has seating and is much less rushed. Just FYI

Very small, cramped Subway restaurant location located close to the intersection of Bloor Street East and Jarvis Street. Next door to a Starbucks, and across the street from Rogers’s corporate headquarters, this location is always busy with the lunch time crowds, especially with construction workers working on the two high rises that are under construction down the street. Service is ok, but due to it’s small, narrow size there is no where to sit down and have your meal, resulting in take-​out orders only.

Subway restaurants are always smaller then say McDonald’s or the rest of their competition for that matter because… actually, I have no know why.
Do they think their customers are so healthy conscious they will only drop by to pick a quick sub mid-​marathon and thus making tables and chairs in the locales superfluous?
This place is however ‘tiny’ even by Subway restaurant standards. Whenever I went into most Subway sandwich locations I feel as if I am channeling Jonah as I tried to find my way through the nooks and spaces you would think you will find stomach-​deep inside a whale.
You go into this place and you feel as if you have been swallowed by a perch.
The staff seems to realize this and are generally equally unhappy or pretty silent. Also I do not think they have the foot traffic outside perhaps lunch hours to keep their bread fresh enough.
As such, in my experience their sandwiches come out more as carb and protein filler than an actual sandwich made by a Sandwich Artist (An artist? Really? Wtf?).
More often than not, I have seen the single employee bored and having a cigarette outside.
However having said that, aside going to the hot dog vendor across the street, there is no other fast food joint in 2 – 3 blocks in any direction. So if you are in this hood and need a quick snack, well, either you starve or you get swallowed by a perch.

SMALL!
CRAMPED!
HARD TO NAVIGATE!
Just went here for lunch — will never go back again. The staff were rude, it was not «buys» in there at all. They messed up my order by putting on the wrong sauce and then got mad when I asked for it to be fixed… it wasn’t a big fix — just pull off the suff that I didn’t want…
The bread was not fresh — even though it looked like it came out of a fresh tray. I didn’t have it toasted, but it sure tasted like I did.
I’d skip this location…
