Hungry yet? Here are the 14 best sandwich shops in Miami, listed in alphabetical order.
Babe's Meat & Counter
9216 SW 156th St., Miami786-429-1315
babefroman.comWhat began as a side hustle at farmers' markets became a full-fledged business for Melanie and Jason Schoendorfer in 2018 when the duo opened Babe's Meat & Counter in Palmetto Bay, expanding the menu with a curated selection of high-end specialty meats. Today, a butcher counter doubles as a breakfast and lunch spot that offers charcuterie, sausages, and sandwiches built around premium cuts. Babe's is one of the only places in Miami that offers Montreal smoked meat, the Canadian take on Jewish deli pastrami, here served on rye bread with mustard. Also worth the trip: the Cuban with house-roasted pork, and the báhn mì, made with your choice of house-smoked pork or duck bacon.
Chèvre Miami
1295 Coral Way, Miami786-332-4128
chevremiami.comChèvre is a cozy, upscale market where imported meats, cheeses, and gourmet pantry staples double as the stars of an impressive sandwich menu. A handful of signature creations and rotating chalkboard specials showcase the shop’s premium ingredients with serious flair. Standouts include "La Italiana,” layered with mortadella, ricotta, pesto, pistachios, and truffle honey on Sullivan Street bread, and "El Padron," which brings together paleta Ibérico and award-winning manchego on airy pan de cristal. Don't leave without one of their mini cheesecakes — creamy, not too sweet, and tucked into a charming wooden box perfect for sharing (or savoring solo).
Enriqueta's
186 NE 29th St., Miami305-573-4681
enriquetas.comYou've probably already tried the pan con bistec at Enriqueta's, the jam-packed Cuban lunch counter/cafeteria that caters to families, workers, and hipsters on the corner of NE 29th Street and Second Avenue in Wynwood. It's a hearty sandwich crammed with thin slivers of steak, tomato, onion, cheese, and potato sticks. Some say it's the best pan con bistec in Miami, but you'd be missing out if you didn't try the Cuban sandwich stuffed with croquetas, which takes the standard Cuban — ham, roast pork, melted Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard between two pieces of bread — and adds a welcome twist of crispy, cheesy croquetas.

Sanguich
Locations across Miami305-539-0969
sanguich.comThe Cubano at Sanguich may look classic, but every detail is anything but ordinary.

Each bite delivers perfect crunch, melty cheese, and a flavor so rich you won’t even mind the crumbs left on your shirt. Pro tip: This is the spot you recommend visitors go to if they want a delicious and classic Cuban sandwich.
Sarussi Subs
6797 SW Eighth St., Miami305-264-5464
Walk into the original Sarussi Subs on Calle Ocho, and you're in for the "Man vs. Food Original" — a massive Cuban sandwich that is so epic that it landed on national TV. This OG spot has been slinging its signature subs since 1965, when it first opened as a fusion of Italian, Cuban, and Chinese eats, eventually becoming famous for its over-the-top Cuban sandwich. Piled high with double ham, roasted pork, pickles, mozzarella (a nod to the shop’s pizza roots), and their spicy secret sauce on garlic-buttered Cuban bread, it's a flavor bomb with serious local cred. Finish the nearly foot-and-a-half beast in one sitting, and you’ll earn a photo on the wall — and probably a well-earned nap.

That means you can stop in for breakfast for egg-centric sandos like pastrami, egg, and cheese; swing by for a midday meal with their Hawaiian-style sandwich stuffed with chicken, ham, honey-barbecue sauce, and pineapple, or a hearty late afternoon meal with a grilled steak sandwich rife with thin-sliced beef, melted cheese of your choice, and a long list of optional add-on extras.
Super Subs
6380 Bird Rd. Miami305-665-0990
instagram.com/supersubsetcThis delicious Bird Road spot, known for its great cheesesteaks, was opened by Roseann Affolter's parents, Anne Blake and Charles DiBlasi, who retired to Miami in 1977 and set up shop near Homestead Air Force Base. When Hurricane Andrew leveled Super Subs in 1992, Roseann and her husband, Craig, took over and moved the shop to its current home. Every day, as the noon hour creeps up, the place fills with police officers, firefighters, construction workers, and office types in the know. They pile in for hot sandwiches — courtesy of Craig, who says little but grills a lot — such as cheesesteaks, chicken subs, and triple burger subs.
Tinta Y Cafe
Locations in Coral Gables and Miami Shores305-285-0101
tintaycafe.coMiami Cuban café meets bohemian coffeehouse at Tinta Y Café. A window outside dispenses Cuban coffee, pastelitos, and croquetas to sleepy 9-to-5 workers needing a jolt en route to the office. The menu is predominantly sandwiches, like the namesake "Tinta y Café" made of prosciutto topped with pulled pork and caramelized onions pressed between baguette slices. Another is la "Noche Entera," whose name is a play on the popular Cuban medianoche — a combo of ham, pork, cheese, pickles, and mustard on a sweet roll.
