What phraseography doesn't like about California Sandwiches:
A chain snadwhich shop that feels local. Sandwiches are large and made with fresh ingredients. You get to pick your meat (chicken or veal) and your choice of six different toppings.

Food was pretty good for the price. Super messy, but tasty. I'm a Californian and I have no idea why it's called California sandwiches. ?

California Sandwiches remains a beloved spot for hearty Italian-style sandwiches in Toronto, celebrated for its fresh ingredients and flavorful sauces. Patrons rave about the quality of the paninis, especially the chicken and veal options, which are often served with crispy fries. However, recent experiences reveal a decline in consistency, as some customers encountered cold sandwiches, unseasoned meats, and service issues. While the lunchtime buffet garners praise, the value proposition has shifted, with prices rising. Despite mixed reviews, many still cherish this quintessential Toronto eatery, eager to indulge in its classic offerings while hoping for improvements.

The veal sandwich was overall good, but I was not a fan of the cheese flavor used. The onion rings, however, were absolutely amazing!
