    Eggplant Marinara from The Sandwich Odyssey. High quality ingredients, prepared with skill and care. Always glad I went there.

    They care about serving good tasting food. I like the eggplant marinara sub, always come away happy. First rate service, good selection of micro-brews.

    Philly Stack with macaroni salad!

    Stopped to charge at Freddy Meyers and decided to drop by The Sandwich Odyssey on my way to Vancouver. Glad I stopped in! I had the Philly Stack with macaroni salad. The sandwich was very hot & fresh. The cheese was melted perfectly & worked really well with the al dente peppers. I will be back next time I'm in B-ham!

    Ok so, I had the Italian Deluxe, heated, and dang of it wasn't like a Schlotzkys original without olives. Bread was amazing and blistered which means great baked bread, veg was fresh, and meat was yum. Really great place. Easy to order, places to sit, though parking I think could get precarious. Otherwise, we will totally be back, and clam chowder was also on point!

    I have heard of The Sandwich Odyssey for years, but never been here. I decided to change that today. I ordered a the Italian and it did not disappoint. Exceptionally great tasting meats and cheeses. And dripping with dressing, just as I requested. Incredibly quick friendly service. It probably deserves 5 stars considering it is located in Bellingham. However, I've lived in New England and it is hard to beat the sandwiches they create there. This a great little sandwich shop and I will return to try other items.

    Chicken Stack

    We stopped by Sandwich Odyssey on our way back from Vancouver. We ordered the Philly Stack & Chicken Stack sandwiches and shared them half & half. The bread is excellent - very soft interior with a crispy but not too hard crust. The ingredients also all seemed to be of good quality. Steak was tender - not chewy like the lower quality products you so often get these days. My only criticism would be that the sandwiches could have both used a little bit more moisture/sauce, but overall they're pretty good.

    We stopped in for lunch. My husband got the French dip and I got a Philly cheese. However my husband didn't like the sauce on the French dip, maybe aoli on it? So I traded sandwiches and I liked the French dip better anyways and pretty sure it was aoli and not horseradish. I liked it and ate half and saved half for later. Service was friendly. Definitely worth a stop in if you want a sandwich.

    Old World Deli is a true Bellingham staple- have been coming here for the last 5 years, been to…read moretheir swag raffle when they were rebranding for renovation, met the owner and even did wine tasting. They've renovated recently, but kept the heart of what makes the place special. It's now more modern, but still feels the same in all the right ways. Every time we're driving to or from Vancouver, this is a must stop for us. Folks that work there always give me the feeling they they like what they do and they know what they are doing. Their wine selection is quirky and fun. And near the register, there are often bottles you just won't see in typical US liquor stores. I usually pick one or two to try. On the food side, we always, always get the beet salad, german potato salad and mac salad- they are all made european style. Those are non-negotiable sides for us. Last visit they had a watermelon gazpacho on the specials menu that perfectly balanced sweet and bright, super refreshing. What they do best is keep things simple but execute flawlessly. A good chunk of the sandwiches you can get half ( then they become slightly expensive halves due to pricing :) )Great bread, great ingredients, no fuss. The Italian sub is proof. It's classic and spot on. My personal go-to, however, is the horseradish roast beef, fantastic combination. And the rotating panini specials are always worth a look. If you're passing through Bellingham, give yourself an excuse to stop in. We certainly do, every single time

They had several kinds of indian food, a lush salad bar, and TONS of fresh-made deli items. I was tempted by a grilled salmon salad, gluten free mac and cheese, and the gluten free carrot cake. Ended up getting a vegan tofu burrito bowl and it was so good! I couldn't help but browse the snacks. They had every brand I love here, with flavors I had never even heard of. Ended up somehow resisting the desserts and huge fridge dedicated to olives and pickled goods and just got out with a few kinds of vegan jerky (which is hard to find for me). Again, heaven. I will have to come back on a cheat day when I am ready to sample all the gluten free dessert.

The inside (and out) is well kept and welcoming. I love seeing what the soap sample of the week is.
