Oh heaven help me that price tag. Ouch! DX We were at a nearby events with friends who were hungry, so we debated where to eat and landed here cuz a sub sounded good to us all. I really wasn't prepared to spend $15 on a single sandwich though. Listen, everything about this place was fine. Including the sandwich itself (I got the Adult Club cuz I love me some chicken salad, but I should've asked to have the bread toasted... it really wasn't all that sourdoughy in taste either??). I just can't quite get over the amount it cost. Which I guess might be why there aren't any prices listed on the menu signs. Like, my hubbie and I DIDN'T get drinks or chips or a side or dessert. None of that. Just a sandwich for the each of us and it was $30. If we had added stuff, I bet we'd've run the bill up to $50 in no time. For lunch! Gotta be trippin'! I like supporting small local business when I can but I think this place isn't in my budget. Sorry. :( But the employees were nice, the ambiance was cool, the tables were clean, large selection of drinks, very tempting looking desserts, even ice cream, and a community board. If money isn't a concern that factors into your decisions, absolutely patronize this joint. I'll just be jealous. read more

Ordered takeout so no notes for ambiance or service. I got the "Adult Club" with the potato salad. The potato salad was very good. I would've eaten another serving. Not too heavy mayo or mustard, eggs, soft potatoes with a little chew (perfectly cooked) and red bell pepper. The sandwich was great. Freshly baked bread that was soft. The chicken salad was really good. Again, a great balance of mayo, not too much. They use shredded chicken which is the way it should be done. Some different options for toppings that you don't get from those other sub chains. A great lunch. I'll be ordering again. read more

An amazing sandwich, 10/10 times. Never before in traveling the world or the United States have I been to a sub shop with such consistent and fresh, delicious sandwiches. I'm a sucker for a classic club, but try their chicken salad club you won't regret it!! read more

delicious delicious sandwiches. the only issue i have is with the prices lol. no way i should be paying $16 for one sandwich but i really did enjoy my reuben. read more

Stopped in while in town for a quick bite to eat before a night out, definitely a must have when visiting the Twin Cities! We got the grilled cheese and tomato basil soup, absolutely delectable! The grilled cheese was a perfect blend of cheesy goodness and fresh tomato bliss. The inside was super clean and well maintained--loved the intimate ambience. Food came out quickly and service was speedy. Would definitely stop by again! read more

II'm still on my quest to find the best. pastrami sandwich I can in Minnesota. I'm going to give them an 8 it of 10. I asked them to put it on a sub bun and I was pleased that they said they would. I was expecting a bun like Jimmy John's or Subway. This was an 8" section of a 3 foot long bun. The bun was pretty ordinary. They could do better. I wished I had asked for extra pastrami. I thought it needed more. They added a little bit of cheese. It would have been better without it. There was also a little mustard but not nearly enough. We got there at 12:30 and the place was empty which made it easier for them to take the time to customize our sandwiches. By the time we left the place had a pretty good crowd if count the pick up orders . I think the place only holds 20 people at 3 tables and a counter. It needed lettuce, dill pickles, pepperoncinis or hot yellow wax peppers. My wife thought the slices were to big and made it difficult for her to eat.I think I could get them to make us a better custom sandwich but if I'm going to drive that far and do that I might as well keep trying to perfect my pastrami sandwich. I wish them well. They are nice people. read more

Caffrey's offers seating inside, outside, take out and delivery. Excellent service and quality every time. Very fresh tasting ingredients and a great selection of beverages, chips and sides to go with your sandwich. Hot or cold, classic or build your own the options are endless! I recommend to anyone looking for a quick local bite that is more a mindful purchase than chain restaurants. read more

Every sandwich I've ever had from Caffrey's is amazing. 10/10. No notes. Love the Reuben and the Italian one.

Service was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!! the food was FRESH and VERY TASTY BUT could've had more cheese OTHERWISE it was definitely worth the drive I'll DEFINITELY BE BACK also very clean atmosphere to dine in as well read more

My favorite is the blue cow sandwich. It's a good, clean place in a convenient location.

Great food - have been coming here for over 10 years! Everything here is fresh and made to order. Typically I like to get the #24 Havin' A Ball. Was taken back with sticker shock today when a full size 14" meatball sandwich and can of soda came out to $25 and some change. The food and atmosphere is great, and love that they are open extremely late. Unfortunately, the cost of their sandwiches will prevent me from being as frequent of a customer as I have been. read more

Was indecisive as to what to eat but when I walked past I had to stop because their menu caught my attention with its variation of sandwiches. Delicious isn't the word as its one of the best sandwiches I've had. Its more of a take away but you can also have a seat and view the streets as people and cars walk and drive by. The service was awesome because the staff was really receptive and fast in delivering my food. read more

Fresh and high quality ingredients, service was chill but friendly. The food was really good but it was a bit pricey for sandwiches.

Service was not good and felt like the cashier did not want to talk to me/was short with me. Would not recommend the vibe to anyone. Food was okay at best they could have added more meat! read more

Order for delivery a couple times a month at work. Love their veggie sub. The bread for a sub is so important and the bread here is excellent. The delivery can be slow but if you know that going in you can plan accordingly. Recently had a delivery where I got the wrong sandwich and they were great about it and their service recovery was excellent. If you like sub sandwiches and you have not checked this place out, you should. Better than Milio's IMHO. I'll be back again and again read more

Sandwich was awesome and the service was great! We drove here to see a comdey show from 3 hours away. Heard it was a nice place to grab a sandwich. I would highly recommend. read more

This spot was just ok. Needed a quick lunch and stopped in. First they got our order wrong (ordered a chicken cheesesteak but got beef cheesesteak instead). We had already gotten home and didn't feel like returning. Even when checking the cheesesteak we noticed how little meat was inside. It was all bread and barely any innards. The other sandwich was good but not worth a return trip. Was hoping for better but...will keep looking for a great sandwich spot. This isn't it for me. read more

My daughter actually brought me her leftovers once and I ate it was like where did you get that amazing sandwich? so I finally got to come in person ...seems like a real hidden gem and you're not getting just a sandwich you're getting an artist sandwich ! my goal is to try each and every single sandwich read more

Caffrey's Deli & Subs - Inside the entrance - Sandwiches Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Oooof. Caffrey's is a tough place for me to review because you want the place to do well but there's a lot that needs to be improved for me to give them three stars. The store: the shop is located in a great spot in all the hustle and bustle of uptown. I've been here twice and both times I have not been impressed by the cleanliness of the place. One of the times the cooking area was disgusting with so much stuff all over the floor and people looking confused and not cleaning up. They definitely were stressed, but that's no excuse to let food pile up on the floor. It's a safety hazard and isn't cleanly. The sandwiches: I like their sandwiches, their bread is good and the toppings are better quality than subway or jimmy johns. I had the veggie sandwich with grilled chicken and loved it. Nothing crazy fancy about it but it was well balanced and a good size. The service: oh man, the place was so severely understaffed during one of my visits that I had to just leave without placing an order and waited almost 20 minutes in an empty line to do so. :( I felt bad for the team but they looked so lost I swear I saw someone just staring at the lettuce covered ground ready to leave. Hopefully this place can get their staffing right in order to service the volume they can get at night! read more

I don't think this sub shop gets enough credit for what they do, and some of the reviews I've seen on Yelp are quite brutal. OK, maybe they don't really accept their own coupons (jury is out on that one) and the service is not always friendly. This is a takeout place that feels more rough around the edges than one would normally find in Minnesota. But being from out of town, the harsh edges don't bother me. And the sandwiches I've ordered have always turned out correctly made and delicious to eat. In the LynLake area, where a lot of restaurants are over-hyped (and over-priced), it's nice to find an honest-to-goodness working class sandwich joint. I hope it never changes. read more

Can't believe I haven't realized this place was in lyn lake sooner! I've been looking for a deli and this one is so so good! It has the staples your want and is the perfect simple deli. No frills and prices are normal. Hope this never goes out of business. read more

This is a bit of a dive, alternative music and a very interesting refrigerator door ascetic, but good food! It was hard to choose because they have so many good looking options, but I ended up getting the #12 The Blue Cow (grilled roast beef, blue cheese crumbles & bacon with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and mayo.) Not the cheapest sandwich (on the menu or in general), but it was a massive sandwich. Super tasty. I came back to try the soup per recommendation from a friend - again way too many options (loaded baked potato, broccoli cheese, Baja chicken enchilada, chicken wild rice, beef chili, veggie chili, chicken noodle, white bean chicken chili, tomato basil.) I ended up ordering the portabello mushroom barley soup - the mushrooms were phenomenal but overall was a bit bland for my taste (but perhaps just my fault in which soup to order.) I'll be coming back to try more! read more

They are the best. Order delivery through their website. Site looks a little jank and was unclear when it was delivered but sure enough, a bag of hot pastrami appeared. Everything is good. Always. In the late aughts, the blue cow was it. read more

I've been here 3 times & they have never dissapointed. It's fair to say everything on the menue is good. Specially their Philly cheesesteaks. read more

The Veggie Sandwich is AMAZING! I order it once a week via Foodsby. I've tried a couple other soups and sandwiches and they are very good, but the Veggie is absolutely fantastic. The bread is always fresh. Also I highly recommend adding a 3 pack of snickerdoodle cookies. They are so good and one will not be enough! read more

So, I've always ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich, but today I got the Blue Cow. I could've eaten the whole thing (it's HUGE), but you would've had to roll me out of my office. I have to say, this sandwich is my new favorite. It's weird getting all excited about a sandwich, but this one is that good. I'd attach a picture, but geez, it was gone too fast. Now I can't wait 'til dinner (if it lasts that long). Order with a bit of fresh horseradish...it clears your sinuses! read more

Recently, my daughter was staying with me on a visit from her home in Nashville. After an event that we both attended, it was late and we were hungry. We decided on something to grab 'n go because we wanted to get home in time to watch a movie. She suggested Caffrey's. I replied that I'd never heard of it. She was astonished to hear that. When I discovered that it's located at Lake and Lyndale, I too was stunned that I'd not previoulsy been aware of its existence. I drive by this modest storefront many, many times per year. In any case, when my daughter lived in the neighborhood, she and her two roommates were regulars. I can see why. It's a funky, ulra-casual, value-priced spot for tasty sandwiches and sides. She went with the PC (Turkey, Capicola & Provolone with Lettuce,Tomato, Mayo and Cherry Pepper Relish) and I chose the Loaded Philly (Quality Grilled Steak, Grilled Onions, Green Peppers, Mushrooms & Provolone Cheese). For ~$8 these were hearty, flavorful bargains. Add prompt, friendly service, a comfortable bohemian vibe, late night hours (open until 3:00 AM) and the fact that is is locally owned and independently operated and you have a winning combo. I wish I'd discovered this place back in the day. But now that I'm clued in, I'll be back for more, soon and likely often. read more

I love Caffreys and I'll tell you why. 1) SERIOUSLY delicious and super creative hot and cold sandwiches. Check out their menu. For example, the Blue Cow is roast beef with blue cheese crumbles. Yum! And sometimes you just want to be basic and get the hot ham and Swiss with mustard. Also yum! Full disclosure, I was basic tonight. And I regret nothing. 2) Then their sides are also amazing too! I believe they make all these in house. Coleslaw, check. Potato salad, check. All the homemade soups?! CHECK. But don't forget the chocolate chip cookies for dessert! Or maybe some local ice cream. That's what I like to see- local supporting local. 3) Did I mention they deliver? And not via a third party app, the good old fashioned kind. 4) I feel like the homemade soups should get a number of its own. Deserved. 5) Local institution. Please, Caffreys, don't ever close. You are the heart and sandwich soul of Uptown. read more

First and foremost, I don't understand people who don't enjoy sandwiches. They're such a simple pleasure in this complicated world. Caffrey's does a great job at making sandwiches that satisfy the people. (At least the ones that I know.) There are many choices to pick from, while there's also the opportunity to construct your own creation from a generous list of toppings (or accessories, as I like to call them). The restaurant itself has an ample amount of seating, although it seems like they do a lot of take out business. It's conveniently nestled within close proximity to many bars, which makes it an ideal spot for grabbing something quick while adventuring on the town. They're open late to fulfill your late night hunger as well. (Every once in awhile, it's necessary and comforting to fall asleep after consuming a bedtime sandwich.) While there are many sandwich shops in the world, it's nice to support local businesses, and this is one of them. Their food is delicious and stands out above the competition. read more

Best sandwich shop i've seen in Minnesota. Being from New York makes finding good food difficult. I search no longer in the sandwich department... Haven't found a bad item on the menu yet! Sandwiches, salads, soup, and dessert all check out! read more

Caffrey's is soooo good! The bread is soft and delicious, the meat is really good and ingredients are perfect portions on the sandwiches. My husband got the three pepper chicken sub which is a hot one (temperature hot) and I got a regular turkey sub with mayo, lettuce, and tomato which is a cold sub. We both loved our sandwiches. The hot sub was delicious and I'll definitely order a hot sub next time but my cold sub hit the spot on this hot summer day! We both got combos which came with a side and drink. My husband got chips and I got macaroni salad which I really liked. I highly recommend stopping in and getting a sub here next time you need a sandwich! read more

Solid sandwiches. Not the greatest value in the world but it seems like fairly food quality meats and ingredients.

After a long night out, I appreciated the availability of Caffrey's for a tasty sandwich. But why not breakfast sandwiches? That seems like a big miss. I dug the deep, authentic flavors of my reuben, but it ended up being a bit too soggy. The meat was good, but the relish over powered. Most of the people who were on line at 11am on Saturday were people getting orders for delivery. read more

The guy with the hat and tattoos who works there is very rude, not good energy for someone in customer service. I asked him how about sauces and he was very dismissive... same with when I asked about the soup. He should give up customer service and do something else with his life ! Life's too short to be a debbie downer read more

Usually enjoy the HOT three pepper chicken! When I been raving about this place to everyone, of course when I bring ppl there to enjoy the food I've been getting then all the food is ice cold when it should be hot! Very disappointed... the service is always friendly and amazing quick service. More than willing to wait for hot food. Seems like the quality of food is going downhill.... read more
