Subway

Every time I come here, the staff is always polite and friendly. I enjoy coming to this location and they have a full menu and drink selection. It is in the middle of Downtown Pasadena so it is large enough to serve many, but friendly enough to come anytime and have a meal by yourself while doing some work.

Once upon a time Subway was terrible, but for the last decade they care to be better. First they cleaned up the stores then worked to be fresh and that plus decent pricing is what we've come to expect (update: that expectation is soft lately). I like this location, and am very pleased with their newly added agua frescas (still good). The lemonade is like what you'd get frsh at hotdog on a in the mall, and the watermelon cucumber is sweet and refreshing. (Iced tea is pretty good too). Update: Discontinued the honey oat 9 grain, so now Italian herb is the sensible choice for Tuna unless spicing it up on jalapeño cheese.

***WARNING*** I used to come here very frequently after class to eat inside and relax, but last week I was told that I couldn't eat inside without a vaccination card. I asked the lady "when did you start implementing this?" And she told me it had started that day. I felt kind of singled out since I didn't have my vaccination card on me, or a picture of it. They should tell their customers when they change their policies. This covid craze is ridiculous, I just wanted to eat a sandwich! No other subway that I've been to has ever told me this either. By the time I got home was when I noticed the bread on my sandwich was stale. Overall, my experience here was very bad. I threw away the sandwich and will probably go eat at the panda express nearby instead.
