Sub Cafe

Great casual fresh food! I read the previous reviews & it’s funny cause I have to say the same thing about the location. I’ve driven past the location for over 10 years until I finally realized that was the place everyone has been talking about! Owner run and operated so quality is always good! Great Hot Philly Steak Cheese Sandwich. My kids would never eat steak sandwiches, but will always eat them here! We would definitely recommend this café!

Their hot subs are delicious. I always get the Cuban steak — love the chimichurri. However, each time I felt that they skimped on the meat. I thought maybe it was because it’s steak and they’re trying to conserve money. Turns out it’s just because I’m small. Once, a male customer in front of me ordered the same thing and got a pretty hefty portion of steak, so I thought maybe it was my lucky day. When it was my turn, I noticed the guy rummaging through the meat supply and pulled out a skimpy piece that ended up filling only half of the bread. Not cool.
They have a separate section for fresh fruit juice/​smoothies and coffee. There’s almost always no one there though, so it takes forever to find someone to make something for you. I’ve gotten a cortadito, which was pretty good but not worth the 10min it took for them to make it. It seems like they don’t really have a system for making the items, resulting in each one tasting different from the next, even though they’re made by the same person in consecutive order.
Overall, they definitely know how to make a sandwich, but I’ll probably get my bf to order for me in the future and go somewhere quicker for coffee.

Proud to be a regular at this little spot! Sandwiches are good. Tuna melt is my fav! Can get very busy at times, but if the regular guys are there it moves along quickly. Whenever there’s a new person it kind of throws a wrench in their operation but that’s to be expected. Big variety from sandwiches, subs, breakfast, juice bar, Cuban coffee, and a huge assortment of drinks in the coolers. And the saltwater fish tank isn’t bad to look at either! A little pricey but it’s close to home!

The place doesn’t look like much but the food is awesome! Open kitchen lets you see where your food is kept. The sandwiches are huge and delicious. Definitely a hidden gem.

If you want Cuban coffee this the best in Broward county. The empanadas are very fresh in the morning and my favorite is the guava with cheese. They are crispy and melt in your mouth. I so slack I should have had 30 plus checkin here.

Cuban coffee in Davie? Yes! Thanks baby Jesus :). This place is a hidden gem. I had no idea it was so close to me and now I def wont stop coming!

I went here for a Philly cheese steak and I am so happy I did!!! The best I’ve ever had!!!

Great breakfast! We were in the area and looking for breakfast with a bit of a cuban twist on it (AKA: Cheese Bread and Café Con Leche). And Sub Café delivered. The cuban bread was the real deal and they know how to make it right with cheese. The guys behind the grill will pretty much make you anything you want if they have the ingredients. They like a challenge! And the best part, they’re nice and glad to have your business and know how to cook good food. This would have been a 5-​star visit if not for 2 things: (1) the juice /​coffee bar was severely understaffed and we never did get our juices, and (2) the check was dropped on us, we paid, and then an older lady (an owner I assumed) told us we owed $ 6 more due to an inaccuracy on the bill. I thought that was pretty low-​brow taste to do to a customer after they’ve already paid.

I drive by this little place probably 100 times without ever noticing it. I read some reviews on here an decided I had to try it.
First, the place is tiny. Looks like any other family owned shop. But… The food is amazing. Fresh cooked food to order. Fresh squeezed juices. Amazing Cuban coffee.
I ordered a Cuban steak sandwich. It was delicious. My husband and son got egg sandwiches with cheese and ham. Yum.
The owner came over and made sure our order was great and welcomed us back. I’ve been there three times since my first visit two weeks ago. I’m hooked.

This is a nice little place at the end of a plaza. The service is really nice and the sandwiches are great! I always get the Rachel (reuben) sandwich. Its super delicious! They also have fresh fruit juice (which are quite pricey) and cuban coffee, yum!

This place is a clusterf#$k. Between the construction on Nova Drive blocking one entrance to the strip mall, to the tiny parking lot, to the long winding line in the narrow ordering area this place is utter chaos. If you have anxiety disorder, claustrophobia, or road rage definitely do not come here.
However, if you are able to get over the clusterf#$kiness of this place, the subs here are actually very good. My favorite is the «Rachel» which is a hot pastrami sandwich with saurkraut, cheese, and thousand island. I throw in some banana peppers and hot chilis for an extra kick and man is it GOOD. The goodness of a lunch place can be gagued by the amount of cops and fireman having lunch there and this place might as well be a station with the amount of these dudes here at all times.
There are almost too many choices here as the menu is huge. If you don’t know what to order it is a high stress situation since you have to scan the 3 LCDs overhead while trying not to hold up the line or knock down any of the tons of crap that are hanging on the walls and shelves.
Overall it’s probably one of the better sandwiches in the area, but I just can’t deal with the cluster on a regular basis.

Been coming here for years. Best sandwiches you can find. Great fresh ingredients, light years ahead of the other popular sandwiche places. Great coffee and atmosphere. Please try this place, you will love it

Awesome subs. Get the steak and eggs, you won’t regret it. Best part is they cook the food in front of you on a grill, they have a sweet fish tank, and the patio is relaxing to eat in. Cuban coffee is on point too.

Cute little Cuban place. In town visiting my best friend and decided to try out this spot. Got the Cuban steak sub with café con leche. Mmmm pretty good for a breakfast/​lunch place. There’s an outside area with tables and chairs so you’re not limited to eating inside. There’s also a separate counter where they make smoothies and juices! Didn’t get a chance to try it but def for next time if when I’m around.

The cuban coffee was great, and wasn’t as sweet as I am used to which is how I prefer, and is I would say the best in Davie.
I got the Cuban steak sandwich (because I looove me some pan con bistec anytime!) and i was actually a little disappointed. I’m guessing it was because we came in right when they were switching out for the lunch rush but it wasn’t piled as high as I hoped. Either way, the flavor was great and my boyfriend got the Rachel sandwich, which was a lot more impressive than the pan con bistec. Either way, if you’re craving a steak sandwich for cheap, definitely check this place out.
I also liked how there was ample seating both indoors and outdoors, which was a pleasant surprise for the location.

Great subs and great service. Can’t believe I’ve driven by here so many times and now is when I decide to stop in. Don’t know why it took me so long.

Nice place for a quick bite to eat. They have awesome subs, breakfast sandwiches, and a fresh smoothie bar.

I’m shocked that I’ve been to sub café as many times as I have and have never reviewed it. All aboard.
Some of my friends introduced me to this place because it’s less than a mile from school and my place and apparently they make great Cuban coffee/“Café con leche”. Roughly translated, it means coffee with milk, which is exactly what a caffe latte is in Italian. The main difference I later learned is that we Italians use espresso and the Cubans use-​you guessed it-​Cuban coffee. Typically I’m a black coffee girl but I decided to take their recommendation and have the house specialty.
I wasn’t disappointed. There’s a reason this stuff sells like hotcakes. It’s piping hot which for me is too hot at first but is a lovely blend of caffeine, aroma, and milk. It’s a pleasure to drink and gives you a wonderful kick if you’re dragging in the morning. They make it in about 2 minutes and there is no line like there is at every chain store that may or may not have started in Portland.
The best part about this place is their BANGIN breakfast sandwiches. They’re not your $ 1.99 egg and cheese from D&D but wow are they good. Fresh bagels, fried eggs or over easy-​however you want them made right in front of you chipotle style. So delicious and so many choices. Then you can sit outside or inside and enjoy your morning (or whatever time of day) for as long as you choose to linger. Love it.

Okay got 4 Cubans today and they were sad, sad just sad! Hardly any meat on them and these cost almost $ 40.00! I’m very disappointed!

The most fun I have had waiting for a sandwich ever! 4.5 Stars.
I thought I had hit every sandwich place in the area, but today, I stumbled upon this little hidden treasure. I was craving a cheese steak free from gristle and I saw this place pop up on Unilocal.To my surprise, they are across the street from El Agave Azul and Cinque Terre; had no idea!
They have two entrances, and I wasn’t sure which one to go into, but I started with the one on the left. Right away I knew I was in the sandwich area. I stood there for a minute and no one came to help me, so I walked around to the other side. I noticed a dining room and the other entrance. The lady there showed me back over and I was immediately helped by the one I will refer to as «The Sandwich Master!»
I told The Sandwich Master I wanted a plain Philly cheese steak with extra provolone, and he went to work. He placed the meat on the grill and with his metal spatulas worked the meat. It was a real treat to watch him work up close like that. He caught me taking a picture, and he went into full Benihana performance mode! LOL I only regret that the light wasn’t better for my camera because I could have captured some great memories for my quick trip out for lunch.
After grilling the meat, The Sandwich Master placed the cheese on the meat and used that wonderful steam technique to melt the cheese. That is one of my simple joys in life. (I know I need to get out more… working on it). He then placed the meat and cheese on the bread and posed it for me to take the next picture. He was so proud… so was I. I felt like we were both admiring maybe the best sandwich ever made.
I had to take the sandwich with me, but I will say it was delicious. Bread was soft and very fresh. Meat was succulent and seasoned well and free from gristle. I don’t know if it is the best I have ever had, but it was really better than any cheese steak I have had in the area. I may get mushrooms on it next time, as I noticed after placing the order that they have fresh mushrooms rather than the canned. YAY.
I can’t give this place 5 stars unfortunately, although I have high hopes I will be able to do that after more visits. Someone should have greeted me without me having to track someone down for help.
