Eat Fresh at the Most Important Meal of the Day Review of Subway’s Breakfast Sandwich

By Jesse | June 21, 2010

A couple weeks back I reported about Subway’s foray into the world of fast food breakfasts. With some trepidation on my part, I decided to give them a shot.

I made a stop into Subway on one rushed work morning after getting off the subway. I was tired, hungry, and a little bit stressed out due to my soul-crushing week at work. In a lot of ways it wasn’t much different that most of my lunch break stops into Subway, just not in the morning.

Did I mention it was dead in there? Besides one sandwich artist, I was the lone soul in the restaurant. Breakfast is not catching on quickly at Subway.

Just like lunch, they put it together on the sandwich line. Take a look.

I could choose from two different egg options, whites or regular, my choice of cheese, meat and veggies. I ordered the regular egg, which like their cold cuts, came from a plastic Tupperware case. I had to wonder how, where and when it was cooked. One ingredient and the sandwich was off to a bad start.

I added black forest ham and pepper jack cheese with tomatoes, green peppers and onions.

And the inside.

I got the combo with a 16 oz coffee. It all came in under $3.

I got my sandwich to go, and by the time I got to my office to eat, it was already cold. The egg was a slimy, the whole sandwich was a wet from the veggies. BUT…it somehow, it wasn’t that bad. I can image if it was right out of the Subway oven it would have been a tasty sandwich. The coffee maintained its heat and was an adequate , mild flavored coffee, reminiscent of McDonald’s coffee.

While my first experience wasn’t great, I think Subway’s breakfast has potential. It’s cheap, seems healthy, and has a lot of options. I would recommend going with the egg whites and having your veggies toasted along with the sandwich. Worth a look in a crowded breakfast space.
