If your looking for fresh ingredients and fresh baked bread for your sand which this is the place to check out. I tried their prosciutto and mascarpone which was absolutely delicious! It looks as though they bake their bread daily, which is probably why the bread was so good crunchy on the outside and soft/chewy inside. The price was excellent too! The service was great, as I walked in the lady greeted me and helped me choose a sand which for myself & daughter. By the way my daughter enjoyed their Nutella & mascarpone sand which. read more

First time in after a trip through the mud pit that is the USPS station across the street - fantastic... Anyway - I am a sandwich guy - never noticed this joint previously so figured I better jump in and give it a shot. This is certainly not a standard deli or sandwich stop but is very good and I look forward to a return trip. I went a bit out of my standard turkey or pastrami and tried their prosciutto/mascarpone large. First - definitely go with the large - still a decent price and bring the excess home if it's too big but I can't see the small being enough. Bread was great and all of the ingredients were fresh and flavorful - probably won't go back to this choice but that has more to do with my own feelings toward mascarpone but it was still very good. There are some interesting flavor choices here that I am excited to try (curried egg salad) as well as some nice looking sides (wasabi coleslaw) but it will take a few more trips in to review those bad boys. If you work/live downtown - give it a shot. Certainly much more unique than Jimmy Johns or Potbelly and the staff is wonderful and helpful. Grab a meal and head down to the water for lunch. Enjoy. read more

Even when they're super busy the line moves so quickly! Hats off to you, sandwich artists! A great price point for lunch, and the bread is just too good. I took away a star because there's not a whole lot of indoor seating options and because when I get the tuna salad sandwich it's got all the tuna on one side... Only sandwich I've had issues with though read more

This place is a great sandwich shop for lunch. Food is fresh and fast. I love the idea of getting 2 small sandwiches so you have a more diverse lunch. Also, don't you dare leave this place without getting a cookie. They make the bread and cookies every day which is awesome. read more

I loved the idea of a mascarpone and something (sundried tomatoes, Nutlla, or fruit jam) sandwich for breakfast, especially as I skipped food and coffee this morning while trying to get the family on the road toward school and work after waking up later than usual. The sandwich, clearly, would have been just fine, with plenty of cheese and plenty of Nutella on a terrific loaf of bread. The problem was that somehow, some article of the three-component sandwich ended up with a hint of onion flavor. Dirty gloves? Dirty spreading knife? Bread sits on a pile of onion slices? For most, I assume this would be unwelcome. For me, someone who finds the taste of raw onion simply unbearable, it ruined breakfast. The coffee . . . does not work for me. Nearly two bucks for 16 ounces of hot vaguely coffee-flavored water, brought to you by a Keurig machine. Guess I've been drinking dark roast for far too long for this stuff to pass as coffee for me. It seems like this is a one-star experience, and it probably was, but the people there are nice and the ingredients are clearly quality. This was just an execution error of carelessness. Even so, I shouldn't pay $8.50 for an onion flavored nutella breakfast sandwich and coffee that simply shouldn't be served in a city with so much great coffee available. read more

As someone who grew up in a family that ran a sandwich shop, I make, eat, sleep and lived the sandwich life for many years. Although I'm not usually picky with my food, I do get picky about my sandwiches because why buy one when I can make something better right? Well anyways, Pane Pane is amazing. I've been here 5 times so far and tried 5 different sandwiches and they were all good. The recipes for their sandwiches are well thought out and the ingredients are fresh. Not only that, the people making the sandwiches also knows how to actually make a sandwich in a way that every bite is a bliss without making a mess. Never once have I felt like I paid too much for my lunch when I go here: Props to you guys. TLDR: Pros: - Friendly & fast service - Menu is easy to navigate - Fresh ingredients - Amazing sandwiches Cons: - Some may consider pricey ($5-$7 per sandwich after tax) - Small dining area; not suited for groups - Hard to locate In Conclusion: This is the place to go if you want to grab a quick tasty gourmet sandwich for lunch. This is not the place if you're looking for cheap, messy, hard to eat sandwiches filled with questionable ingredients covered up by dressing to make it taste decent. read more

This place is fantastic. I sometimes get a sandwich here when I miss the #70 transfer and I have a few minutes to spare, which kind of gives you an idea of how fast they can make food happen. The people are super kind and considerate and the food is great! I'm particularly into the wasabi cole slaw they put on some of their sandwiches. They even have cans of that cactus flavoured San Pellogrino drink. Highly recommend, especially if you want to eat immediately read more

Pane Pane is fast, delicious, and super-affordable. It's the most affordable lunch place that I've found in the downtown area that's still good. --Order Sauce-- My first visit wasn't good, because I didn't order sauce. The sandwiches can be very dry if you don't order sauce. One of my favorite sandwiches comes with pesto (yum). The seating isn't very comfortable or abundant, but at this price point, it's a huge win to have seating at all. I recommend Pane Pane to anyone who's looking for a fast and affordable lunch in the downtown area. It's especially good when you're grabbing lunch solo. read more

Had 10min to kill before my bus arrives and this shop happens to be next to the bus stop. I wasn't even hungry, but figured I might as well pick up a sandwich for work. I ordered a breakfast sandwich because it was affordable and without any idea what it would be like. Wow! I was pleasantly surprised. Not only does it look marvelous with a balance between the protein and the veggies, it was the tastiest breakfast sandwich I have ever had! This will be my new spot for breakfast before heading to work. read more

Nice clean place, friendly but deaf employees. The sandwich I ordered came with the wrong 'sauce'. I felt like I was pretty clear that it was to be mayo but got mustard. Big difference. I won't be back, screwing up simple stuff is tough for me to forgive. EDIT: god, I should've done this long ago. The owner was AMAZING with his feedback. I mailed them shortly after posting this and the owner was really prompt in replying, offered to make it right with a free sandwich. Try this place. read more

I had the #44 pastrami and genoa salami with provolone; I chose aioli as my sauce. It was good but what really stood out was the bread. Crispy, crunchy, soft on the inside, like good banh mi bread. My one finicky critique: the spinach was stuffed on the outer side of the sandwich which made it hard to eat as the spinach kept falling out and getting in the way. Would be better if it was placed underneath the meat. I had asked for no onions and the sandwich maker girl asked me if I wanted any substitution for the onion - which I didn't expect would be free, but it was! So they added tomatoes at my request. I appreciated that they asked what substitution I wanted even though all I asked for originally was to remove one ingredient. It's not a sit down place, so order to-go only. Although they do have some seating along the walls, it's more for those people in line or waiting to pick up their food. The space is pretty small so it's an in-and-out operation. I will be back! read more

All my co worker have been raving about this place but didnt go right awat cause I'm not a huge fan of sandwiches, but this is a must try! Very rare for seattle to have house made bread that has it's own take but Pane Pane is on it! Bread's crust has a thin but delicious crust that isnt rough on the gums like other French breads might be. The meat is generous and the price is great! $9.90 for the meatball bahn mi after tax! The guy and gal were very nice and gave me a suggestion quickly. (Personal test of mine for customer service and knowledge to be able to suggest something) try them out! read more

Pane Pane Sandwiches - Meatball - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Pane Pane is just around the corner from where I work - ideal for grabbing a quick lunch. But even though the ingredients were good-quality and the sandwich was OK, I doubt I'll be going back, thanks to the prices. I went in on a weekday around 1 pm, and there was only one person in front of me. There are only a couple of tiny tables, but since most people seem to be ordering to-go, that's not really a problem. On the advice of other Yelpers, I got the large prosciutto, artichoke and pesto sandwich ($8), and I think large is the right portion size if you're hungry for an actual meal. If you want something light, or you're planning to do a combo with soup or coleslaw, then the small might work for you... but do look at the pics first, because a small is SMALL. The sandwich was fine, if not generous. I wasn't as impressed with the bread as others were, but I agree it's soft and not as mouth-shreddingly crunchy as it looks. There were a few slices of prosciutto and LOTS of spinach on my sandwich; overall, the amount of toppings felt adequate but not more than that. The ingredients tasted fresh and I saw someone prepping stuff while I was ordering. Service was friendly enough and I was in and out of there in under 10 minutes. But an $8 sandwich doesn't strike me as "super cheap," although I guess it becomes a better deal if you add a side and soda for $2. The breakfast sandwiches sound good and are all under $5 (I think there's also a breakfast combo where you can add coffee for $1), so those may be a better value than the lunch fare. Mostly, they're just basic and slightly overpriced sandwiches, but if you're looking for something fast and predictable downtown, Pane Pane could be what you need. read more

Came here for the first time for a quick lunch! Very quick service and friendly staff. I had the meatball bahn mi and it was super good! I thought it was going to be super greasy because lots of things with meatballs are.. but it went above expectations. They've got a super efficient system for takeout orders and delivery, and I can see why they've always got a big lunch rush! Definitely worth a stop during your lunch break:) read more

The food is great, but they serve breakfast at 8:00 am. Downtown? That late? Really? Why bother? read more

Breakfast review only - GREAT! Very, very cheap for a lot of food. The breakfast sandwich uses their normal bread (about 6") and big chunks of egg. You can put veggies or meat on it. My only regret was their spicy mustard. Ultimately, it ended up being too much food for me but still great price. Coworkers rave about their lunch options. I will be back to try their vegetarian friendly marscapone options. read more

Really good sandwich! Nice vibe. Cool space. Good music. Friendly service. Highly recommend for a decent sandwich. Pretty quick too.

I have eaten here 3-4 times and I always walk away kicking myself for going there. The bread is terrible, meat is nothing special...

Yummy sandwiches! My friend had the beef and coleslaw, and I had the meatball banh mi. Sooo happy. Spicy and fresh with the right amount of veggie-meatball ratio (carrots, cucumbers, cilantro, onion, jalapeño peppers, spicy mayo). We ordered online, and it was a very convenient pick-up. Recommend the combo with the chips and a can of soda. read more

Pane Pane Sandwiches - Why yes I will. And it was definitely yummy! - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very disappointing prosciutto artichoke sandwich. There is no artichoke on it at all, just two slices of prosciutto, then a bunch of lettuce and some tomato and onion. And my pet peeve - the sandwich was not warm even though I asked for it toasted. I just paid over $9 for this snack. The meatball sandwiches look interesting but the one I got was a fail. read more

Went in for the first time today and oh man is this place delicious! I got the Turkey, Bacon, Avocado and Swiss sandwich. The cashier woman suggested I add chipotle and aioli sauce to it... uhhh AMAZING! The sauce brought the entire sandwich together. Definitely recommending this place to friends and coworkers. read more

This is the best sandwich shop downtown. Absolutely delicious, fresh and fast! You can't ask for more on a busy work day than a predictably wonderful lunch. And the staff - A++. Friendly and at the ready with a tasty recommendation. Pane Pane has my heart as well as my many thanks for the yummy eats! read more

It's a great spot to pick up a quick bite that doesn't lag in flavor and quality. I came across it when visiting Seattle and came back another time just because I didn't want to go home without having another one of their sandwiches. The #56 teriyaki meatball was the one that looked least appealing to me on the menu but they told me its one of their most popular sandwiches. It's divine. So much texture and flavor. Even though I was in a rush I had to take my time to savor just how good it was. I got the short and it was plenty--and I can eat. With chips and a drink, it was $10 and some change. The line moves quick too, so don't be intimidated if they're busy! It's worth it read more

Pane Pane Sandwiches - One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is great! Its a small sandwich shop with limited seating. However the food is very good and they are very quick at turning orders. I have had the #1 and #14 and both were amazing. Will be a regular spot for me going forward. read more

As much if not cheaper than subway. Easily ten times better. I didn't expect my breakfast sandwich to taste this good.

Had "americas best sandwich" the teriyaki meatball bahn mi. It was good, although the pickles do make the bread soggy pretty quickly. The "long" is really big - fed me for both lunch and dinner. Would go back, but would probably try another sandwich just for variety. read more

Love some pane pane. Best sandwiches downtown! When I was in the office I tried to go there at least once a week. Love it!

Convenient work spot for lunch with incredible Sammie's. Haven't tried the famous Bahn mi but huge fan of the basil pesto.. the service was insanely fast too. Not a lot of indoor seating so more of a grab and go spot. Would highly recommend. read more

Saw the reviews so went there with my 3 daughters... HORRIBLE.... they left off the bacon on the turkey, avocado and bacon, they put one piece of thin salami on the Genoa Salami and forgot the mayo - so all I tasted was bread and way too much mustard! Left hungry and SO DISAPPOINTED! read more

They make a great Teriyaki Meatball Banh Mi. Never cared for any of the other sandwiches on the menu. I only order one sandwich here and that's it. Pretty nice crowd during the lunch hour but it's fast. Located in front of the post office. read more

I love this place. Every time I visit, the lady who runs the register is super friendly and cheerful. Theor bread is a delicious, light baguette, and while it does drop a number of crumbs, the bread has always been perfectly fresh for me. I tend to order the genoa/pepperoni/pesto, prosciutto/genoa or the roast beef/pepper jack. All of these come with spicy cherry peppers, which I think make the sandwich. I find that a small is sufficient for my lunchtime appetite. If you take their punch card, you get a free cookie with every $20 you spend, which is easy to do. They also have a handy online ordering system. It's really intuitive and can remember your favorite orders. I order and by the time I have walked the 2 blocks from my office, the sandwich is waiting in a paper bag with my name on it. Once, when my niece visited my office for her 4th birthday, I ordered a PB&J for her and mentioned it in the special instructions section of the order form. When I picked up the sandwich there was a happy birthday message written all over the wrapper, including colored hearts. My niece loved it. And I got a couple bites: it was a hell of a PB&J! One final bit of praise: the other day I ordered online before getting pulled into a meeting where lunch was served. I got a text message from someone at Pane Pane reminding me that the sandwich was there. When I asked if they could just put it in the fridge so I could pick it up the next day, they said they'd just eat it for their lunch and give me the same order for free the next day. So nice of them. My new go-to for a quick sandwich downtown. read more

I just happened to be walking by on my way to the usual fast casual lunch spots when I saw this place. I ordered the turkey meatball bahn mi and it was beyond delicious. They served a super generous amount of meatballs on a crispy baguette full of marinated veggies. Every bite was bursting with flavor. It's safe to say that this is going to be one of my new weekday lunch spots. I can't wait to go back and try some of the tri-tip options. Yum! read more

Sandwiches were huge and delicious. However, the service was pretty unfriendly. They overcharged us for two soups, and when my husband brought it to the staff's attention, they were super put out about fixing it. Eventually they did, but still. Don't be rude to us because of your mistake. Finally, the sandwich was the size of my face. Typically, face-sized sandwiches, while awesome, need to be cut in half, at least...but asking for this service was also apparently very annoying for staff. I would have done it myself, but a plastic fork was literally not going to cut it. 5 stars for food. 3 stars for service. read more

This bread. It is so good. It's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I love that you can customize your sandwich for little-to-no extra charge. They have combinations I wouldn't find anywhere else, and they are all so good. The shop is quaint, with a few bar stools if you wish to dine in. I've always picked up my sandwiches to go. The ingredients are fresh and delicious! read more

Working in the building above this new sandwich shop makes it very convenient and the combinations of flavors is remarkable!! I had the Genoa Salami, Prosciutto, and Spinach and it was delicious!! I have read here several comments about the size of the sandwiches and I would like to counter with -- FINALLY!! Someplace where one can buy something tasty of reasonable size. And, if you need more than the 5" sandwich that they offer -- buy the 10", or get three.....still less $$s that most of the neighborhoods other eateries... Very helpful, friendly staff answered all of my -- many -- questions.......welcome Pane Pane!! read more

Oh my God. I accidentally stumbled in here on opening day for a sandwich because it smelled good and the prices are beyond reasonable. Some points: *Friendly staff So sweet! They greeted me immediately and were really helpful * Divine sandwiches I got the Coppa, Genoa Salami and Pesto sandwich and I'm beyond pleased. I devoured that thing *GREAT customer service Their soda machine wasn't working properly, so they allowed me to take a bottled beverage and as I was eating brought me these LOVELY waffle cone and nutella cookie thing that I'm super please with. So yummy! This may be my new lunch place. I'm super impressed. It didn't hurt that I was their first customer ever! Yaaaay Pane Pane! Afterthought: the music is super fun and it has a great atmosphere for a sandwich place. read more

This will be our new go to sandwich shop. I have had the Bahn Mi meatball sandwich that is great. The meatballs are warm and spicy and the vegetables were cool and crisp, the bread is perfect slightly crispy on the outside and soft inside........my colleague had the turkey and bacon and said it was great as well. I also had a cup of the tomato basil bisque it was good as well. Lots of interesting combinations on the menu. If you are downtown looking for a sandwich this is a great option. Oh yeah I almost forgot the Siracha mayo need I say more...... read more

Tasty breakfast and lunch sandwiches at a great price! Best sandwiches downtown for the price (WAY better than Subway around the corner, and much more filling)! read more

Served two (2) beef brisket sandwiches with chewy, grizzly meat. Meat had the consistency of rubber bands. Product needs improvement & tight QC (quality control). read more

Great service, amazing sandwich. Yes, they are smaller than normal, but honestly, I feel like most sandwiches are way too large anyway. To me, the value is in the fresh ingredients, on their unique sandwiches. I highly recommend trying the Turkey + Wasabi Coleslaw. It will blow your mind. I would love to see hot sandwiches one day, but that certainly wont' deter me from going back in the mean-time. Great job, guys! read more
