  • "I need to start by saying that I live in the UWS but work in Hudson Yards and discovered this gem last week. I purposefully come home on my lunch break to get a sandwich here… they are THAT good. Extremely well thought out sandwiches with incredible flavor. Love that you can order ahead of time. 10/10 food, service and staff."

  • "Sandwel exceeded our expectations and is now our favorite spot on the UWS. Everything is simple, filling, and delicious. We got the chicken Cesar and chicken pesto subs - both were a 5/5. The folks who work here are also really nice. 5/5. Can't wait to stop here on the way to the park this spring."
