Columbia Street Sandwich Company

Somehow, had never been here until today. It’s humble but the food is fresh and delicious, had the turkey bacon avocado and it was everything I had hoped for.

Looking for new eats is always a bit of a challenge for me but I came across the appropriately named Columbia Street Sandwich Company in mid-July. This is a busy little sandwich shop located on Columbia Street in New Westminster with plenty of local patrons from nearby businesses. On my first visit in mid-July, there was a fairly steady line-up at the counter but it moved fairly quick. I ordered the Turkey, Bacon, Avocado ($8.25 ) which is a fairly popular choice as I saw lots of other diners order the same thing. It’s served on your choice of bread (I picked marble rye) and is served with lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber, and mayo. The sandwich is really solid and I really liked the bacon in this ‘wich but I was a bit surprised that the marble rye wasn’t very marbly. On my second visit, I decided to try their Soup and Salad Combo ($6.25 + $1 for added bacon + $4 for soup). The Roast Turkey with Cranberry Sauce comes with lettuce, tomato, red onion, cucumber, mayo and your choice of bread. I opted for marble rye again and was pleased that it was better than it was on my first visit. This is a good sandwich and the sweet cranberry sauce goes well with the savory turkey. The mushroom soup was creamy (kind of like condensed soup?) but could have used some more mushrooms in it. It seems like each time I come here, the marble rye gets better and better. This time around, the bread had that beautifully spiraled mix of light and dark… Man! This is what you call marble rye! The Tuna Salad on Marble Rye ($5.50) is fully loaded with lettuce, tomato, onions, and cucumber and I really enjoyed this. I made it a combo and added a cookie instead of soup. I found the oatmeal cookie was tender but the chocolate chips kept falling off. While the sandwiches aren’t as far out as nearby Big Star Sandwiches, you get a solid selection of ‘wiches here.

Catered a reception for us and they were wonderful. Excellent food, excellent customer service, fantastic value. 10 out of 10 would recommend. We'll definitely be back!

Their sandwich is to die for. You must try their ACE sandwich for breakfast if you ever pass by Columbia street. The customer service is great and the food as well.

Loved the ACE sandwich. Really fresh, delicious sandwiches that are super reasonably priced. Popular place, often a line but you hardly notice because they're very fast with the orders.

I had a tight timeline for catering. Sam was able to accommodate our order and work with my third party re payment without any problems. Food was amazing and I do not hesitate to recommend this Company for your workshop luncheons! Soooo good!

I work in the area and have been coming to this shop for a few years now so this review is overdue! The sandwiches are delicious! With my fav being the ACE breakfast sandwich. You can’t beat the quality especially for how reasonably priced everything is. And the customer service! Some of the nicest people and they know my name!

A clasic spot, little sandwich shop, is a must stop if you are in New Westminster, they have a good selection, great sandwiches and soups, well recommended.
