The Best Vegan Options at Subway

Your ultimate guide to building a plant-based meal at Subway.

Eating Vegan at Subway

Subway offers a customizable "build-your-own" model, making it a reliable fast-food choice for obtaining a fully customizable vegan sandwich loaded with fresh veggies.

The Tastiest Plant-Based Dishes

If you're pulling into the drive-thru, these are the top plant-based menu items you must try:

  • Veggie Delite Sandwich
  • Sweet Onion Sauce Sub
  • Lay's Classic or SunChips Original
  • Applesauce

Menu Hacks and Custom Orders

Get the most out of Subway's menu by modifying these classic dishes to remove hidden animal ingredients:

  • For bread, choose the Artisan Italian, Hearty Multigrain, or Sourdough (locations vary). Avoid cheese and herbs bread.
  • Skip the mayonnaise and ranch; load up on Sweet Onion Teriyaki sauce, Yellow Mustard, and Oil & Vinegar.
  • Ask the employee to change their gloves before making your sub to ensure no deli meat grease transfers to your bread.

Cross-Contamination Warnings

Subway employees handle deli meat alongside veggies. Meats can drop into veggie bins, and gloves must be changed upon request.
