Ike's Love & Sandwiches La Jolla Reviews
Hands down one of the best vegan sandwiches I've had in a long time!! 1st bite was flavorful, right amount of crunch, and just enough sandwich juice. I ordered on Grubhub easily- added to my favorites!
I was so impressed by the team here. They were juggling a ton of catering orders, but they still made me feel like a priority. Friendly service and delicious food. I'll definitely be back!
I absolutely love Ike’s! They offer a huge variety of clearly labeled vegan options — and what makes it even better is that they’re happy to veganize almost any sandwich on the menu. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about all the vegan choices, sauces, and substitutions. It’s such a relief to walk into a sandwich shop and feel like your needs are fully understood and respected. Delicious, creative, satisfying — I’ll definitely be back!
Absolutely delicious Sammy! We had the Tony Hawk on their Dutch bread, which had a little crisp to it, and its flavor combination so is good. Also had the Elvis on wheat bread. The wheat bread was so soft and the teriyaki was amazing. I don’t think I have ever had such a good sandwich. Love love love.
Excellent sandwich shop with lots of choices. I had the Halsey which I rate an 8 out of 10. Not the best I’ve had but really good sandwich. I’ll have to try another sandwich next time I come back.

Yesterday my wife bought here a delcious HALAL chicken Sandwiches. I recommend to buy here because it is so tasty and also Halal!!!
Wowwww this sandwich spot is incredible! Line was out the door so I figured it must be good, and I wasn’t disappointed. I ordered the Tony Hawk sandwich with lettuce, tomato, banana pepper on the Dutch bread. 😧😋 The Dutch bread is so delicious- soft, yet has a slight crunchy outer shell (but not quite as crunchy as a baguette that leaves the roof of your mouth torn up. IYKYK.) Ingredients tasted super fresh too! Will defo be back!!
Sant & Chris ! I genuinely appreciate your compassion & humble hearted kindness. As. A “Eagle Eye” as for seen and professionally engaged with pure sincerity and made it comforting as for the communication and delivery of the of the blessing(s) . The gesture of gratitude and knowing amazing people still exist . Once again thank you as well i hope management gives you two a raise or some type of award !
We ordered a couple of the large sandwich trays for a staff lunch and not only was the food ready on time, but it was at perfect temperature and tasted delicious! Thank you to the staff who kindly remembered the single gluten free sandwich I added last minute and for helping me take them out to my car - you're the best!
Sandwiches were amazing. Try the dutch crunch bread option. Plenty of vegan options. Definitely going back again.
This location was very clean, when I walked in I was greeted by Jason he was very nice and had great customer service even as they were preparing to close, he suggested his favorite sandwich so that’s what I ordered. He was very patient as I ordered sandwiches for my extremely indecisive family. I’ll be visiting this location again. Thanks Jason R.
Just tried Ike's for the first time, and the sandwiches are amazing! They have a wide selection to choose from, so anyone can find something they like. But beyond that, the two gentlemen working behind the counter tonight were amazing. I unfortunately didn't catch their name's (one was wearing a red plaid shirt and the other was wearing a black Ike's shirt), but they were very nice and provided great service. 5 star sandwich makers and people!
This was my first time at Ike's and it was not only the best vegan sandwich I've ever had, but the best sandwich I've had in my entire life! The service was amazing and friendly, and the staff helped me out with recommendations from the wall of favorites and answered my questions about adding or taking off certain ingredients. I will definitely be coming back to Ike's!
Freaking love these guys they're gluten-free sandwiches the best I've ever had
We placed a large order of over 180 sandwiches with Ike's for an event and they were awesome handling our changes and delivery. Sandwiches were also labeled and great for a variety of dietary restrictions. Highly recommend for your next catering opportunity!

This Ikes was an all around great experience from the sandwich itself to the staff’s service! I’m a pretty picky eater, which means that I have a lot of adjustments to make it to my order. The Ikes staff specifically Debbie really helped me out and make sure to cater to my specific order. The Halal chicken is really good and the dirty sauce is a must.
Sandwiches were very good, and the staff was very friendly. The only downside is the sandwiches were a bit pricey, two sandwiches with drinks and chips came to $44.
I got the Terrell Davis: turkey, bacon, and provolone. Unique Dutch bread has a pretty good flavor, the texture was a little rough on the roof of my mouth, but not enough to make me stop eating it. We saw there is a Vegas location, so we’re planning on checking out that one too. Bonus, free suckers!
The convenient location looks clean inside. We ordered to go but takes a long time to get our order. Three people in the kitchen, but only one is preparing the food. The food was great.

This was my first time at Ike’s, and my first impression was that the menu is super overwhelming, so many sandwich options to choose from! Luckily, the guy at the register was really patient and helpful, which I appreciated. I did notice they forgot to add jalapeños to my sandwich, but I just went up to the front and asked for a side of them, and they were cool about it. Now for the important part: the sandwich itself was AMAZING. Super fresh, packed with flavor, and definitely worth the hype. Will most definitely be coming back to try more!

Ordered a Jeff Garcia via the app picked up a few minutes later shit was watery. This place is hit or miss it depends whose making your sandwiches
This place is severely understaffed. It took 40 MINUTES for us to get only two sandwiches. We were waiting in the store while the workers were ignoring us and prioritizing a catering order. Do not come here expecting a normal wait time. Upper management should be ashamed. Never coming again since I didn't even have time to eat my sandwich before I had to leave. I have never had any issues with any other Ikes ever. Not the ones in San Diego, not the one in Davis, not the ones in the bay area. Only this one had had problems with horrendous wait.
Extremely disappointed with the food. I ordered the handsome owl, which was completely drowned with strong wasabi and funny tasting mock chicken. People were nice, but for the 15 dollar price tag this was a really poor experience. Don’t see myself coming again.
