what a hidden gem! i'm surprised there aren't more reviews. this space is a deli/cafe/grocery…read morestore. they have a decent amount of seating, i would say they can fit about 12 people and there is some outdoor seating as well. we browsed their shelves while waiting for the sandwiches which was a good time killer. the staff was so kind and quick. one woman stood out to me. i didn't catch her name but you might be able to guess who i'm talking about if you walk in. she is welcoming and hilarious. she told us to holler when we were ready, and after the sandwich was assembled, she announced "ann you're in the grill!" she absolutely went above and beyond. our interaction was the highlight of my morning. i got the firenze and it was delicious. all the flavors blended together seamlessly and i love the texture of the bread. it was such a tough choice because all the sandwiches sounded so good, but this was a great decision. i would say my only critique is that i wish the meat was more evenly distributed, but that's hard to achieve when the prosciutto naturally falls out when you take a bite. overall, i would totally recommend coming here for a quick lunch or breakfast! such amazing service and staff. thank you!!

Best to get there for 11:30 if you need parking close to the entrance. I like Matzah ball soup, while my husband enjoys the beet soup. The sandwiches are tasty and generous. They also serve a FREE snack tray of kosher dill rounds and dried bagel bites. Prices are very reasonable. Their soup and 1/2 sandwich is probably the most economical buy. Very pleasant staff...all volunteers. At the entrance, you place your order before entering the eating area. You are given a table number. Your volunteer waitress will be along shortly. One of our favorite no-frills places to eat in Victoria.

About 10:55 pm, We stopped at the subway, everything was cleaned, ready for closing. I'm in customer service. I know how frustrating this can be for customers to walk in, right at the end of the shift, when you've had nobody for hours. Gagan, without even a blink, took my order. Super friendly And accommodating. I know I'm a lot. My order was finicky and extra work. If Every business could get an employee like Gagan,, the world of customer service, would be wonderful place. Five stars Gagan, you're awesome. Cheers!

I usually go for the falafel on whole wheat lately, and I must say, their falafel quality is better than I'd expect from fast food. In addition to the food, one of the employees working at this Subway, Manny, is always a warm and welcoming face to see. He greets me enthusiastically every time I come in and engages me in friendly conversation for the duration of my time in the restaurant. Good food and a great experience. I'll definitely be coming back.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE The supermarket side appears to be…read moreoperated by the same Overwaitea/Save On Foods group. The in-store dining area is no looker, but it's where you'll find good eats and great prices! === 2. FOOD Everyday Breakfast ($7.99) Two eggs your way, your choice of meat, two slices of your choice of toast and home potatoes (square-shaped has browns). I chose ham and the food was great - especially in this day and age of post-pandemic price increases and tariffs. Breakfast with Pancakes ($9.99) Eggs your way with your choice of meat and two hearty pancakes. We did scrambled eggs: healthy portion of that included; we did bacon for the meat and two thick pieces of bacon were included, and the two pancakes are not your fast food type - they were thick and filling! === 3. SERVICE Dine in or takeout, it's a bit like Denny's - the service is polite and professional enough for what amounts to semi-fast food and the speed at which they serve is decent (they are often busy in the mornings). === 4. ENVIRONMENT Well, despite the store itself being only 10 years old or so, the interior has plenty of big windows on one side, but more of an older look to the tables, chairs, and ceilings. It's clean enough for dine in (and so many people do). Wheelchairs and baby strollers have no issues here whatsoever and parking is usually pretty decent in the shopping complex lot out front.

Previously enjoyed visiting this store for their deli and a few unique products. Today was told…read moresomewhat dismissively by the cashier that I could not have the soda I wanted with my sandwich combo because it was in a glass bottle (355ml) and not a can (also 355 ml). Instead I had to choose a Coke product. To make things sillier, the glass bottle soda was on sale, so it was actually cheaper. Prefer to shop/eat somewhere that is not preoccupied with conformity.

Like subway but better!! Very well loaded sandwiches. Around $12-13 each if I remember correctly.read more

I visit this one a lot as it is near my home…read more I have never once been disappointed. The sandwiches are what you would expect from any subway. The staff here are always very friendly. Once I went up there and ordered a sandwich for supper only to find out I forgot my wallet when I got to pay. They were going to let me take my sandwich home and eat it and come back later to pay. Very trusting and nice. I didn't though and rushed home, grabbed my wallet and came back to bay before taking the sandwich, but that isn't something you see very often in a store. It is a quieter Subway that is usually pretty empty as most customers take out rather than eat in so if you want a subway to enjoy your meal and read the paper or have a nice visit with a friend of loved one than this is the place to go.

On the far edge of Canada--about as west as the map allows--you wouldn't expect to stumble into a…read morelove letter to the east. Yet tucked into the rhythm of downtown Victoria, a few steps from the grand columns of the British Columbia Parliament Buildings, sits a deli that feels like it took a bite out of Montreal and carried it across the entire country. Broughton Street Deli doesn't pretend to reinvent anything. That's the point. It's a place that understands the quiet dignity of doing something simple--really well. The Montreal smoked meat arrives the way it should: thin-sliced, warm, and stacked with reckless generosity between bread that knows its job is simply to hold the miracle together. Each slice is tender, smoky, and rich, the kind of meat that folds onto itself like velvet. Then comes the mustard--made in-house, sharp and bright, cutting through the fat just enough to remind you why this sandwich has survived generations. Take a bite and for a second you forget you're standing on the Pacific. It's a small culinary miracle: the farthest west of Canada faithfully channeling a food tradition born nearly 4,000 kilometers away in Quebec. But the sandwich isn't the whole story. Behind the counter is a husband-and-wife team who've been running this place for nearly two decades. The kind of couple that greets regulars by name and first-timers like they've been expected all along. There's a certain immigrant grit to the place--work hard, build something honest, send the kids off to get the education you never had. The quiet, proud arc of a family business that didn't just survive but became part of the neighborhood. And they're not slowing down. You see it in the rhythm of the room. Regulars drift in for "the usual." Newcomers get a smile and a gentle nudge toward whatever the owners think you should try today. Sit long enough and the place turns into a little theatre of Victoria life. Don't skip the sweets. The cookies and butter tarts are homemade--real homemade, not the marketing department kind. And the peanut butter cookie, somehow both indulgent and gluten-free, has picked up awards that make sense the second it hits your mouth. So slow down. Grab a seat. Let the sandwich drip a little mustard on the paper. Talk to the owners. Talk to the stranger next to you. Watch the steady parade of locals who clearly know they've found something good. Because in a city surrounded by marble halls, political speeches, and the formal gravity of the legislature, sometimes the most genuine place in the neighborhood is a deli counter quietly serving one perfect sandwich at a time. CHEERS!!!
