I loved it here! Sometimes you just want a damn good sandwich with some quality ingredients, made the way you want it-- and La Bodega fits the bill perfectly! Everyone was so sweet and friendly in here. You can tell that they love what they are doing (they probably could have served me a pb&j on white bread and it would have tasted great.) I got the #52 which is a salad but they offered to make it into a wrap for me because I was in the mood for a handheld. It was delicious- pulled chicken, bleu cheese, cranberry, crisp lettuce. Yum! Don't overlook La Bodega for your next lunch! read more

See all

The hummus wrap (19 I think) is just okay. Ask them to add hot sauce!! Giving 3 stars because I think the value is worth it, but it's also obvious no one vegan created this pita sandwich. I'd love to see some more creativity and options for non meat/cheese eaters! read more

Omg. Seriously the BEST tuna salad sandwich I've ever had in my life. The bread was toasted to perfection and the tuna salad tasted fresh. I can't wait to go back again and try some other sandwiches! read more

Go here. You will not be disappointed. Ask to speak with Mike and you'll have a great conversation with your great sandwich (or any of the other staff... they are awesome too!). My recommendation is the #43 Mediterranean sub but my girlfriend always gets the #12 on sourdough. Whatever you get, you won't be disappointed! And if you have a pooch consider asking for some scraps (just don't forget to tip!). read more

Wam-Bam-Thank you delicious, huge, glorious sub sandwich. I met the boyfriend here today for lunch for the first time ever and all I'm going to say is, "Good choice my man, damn-good choice," The southwest sub is really where it's at--grilled bread, turkey, jalapenos, various peppers, jack cheese and hot sauce. I'm physically drooling right now even though I'm still full from eating only half of this monster. You like sandwiches? Subs? Delicious-ness? Go here. Quick making excuses and bookmark it already. It's super easy to order and eat in, or take it to go. There's a huge cooler with tons of teas, juices and sodas for drankin'. I mean, can this place get any better for a quick lunch on the run? I can't wait to go back when it's warmer and sit out on the picnic tables with my man and my pup. I also love how everyone has their own # that they prefer. Maybe next time around I'll try one of the other hundreds of awesome varieties they have. (You know how my huge menu anxiety goes...) Sandwich heaven here, folks. Welcome to sangwich mecca. read more

La Bodega. I wish you were downtown. But since I love to use my lunch to shop on occasion your location is perfect! I leave work at 12noon. I get into my car. I call and place my order. By the time I find the quickest way there (crazy bridge construction) I arrive and my meal is all set and ready to go!!!!!!! LOVE! Everyone is extremely friendly and everything is fresh and my portion sizes are enough for 2 meals. If it makes it that far... Today I went for the #20 + hot sauce + plain chips so scoop out the extra hummus. Chk the menu and find your fav! read more

Just wanna add a couple of sandwiches I'd recommend since my last review: -The #56: Roast Beef, French Fried Onions, Tomato, Mozzarella, BBQ Mayo - are you kidding me?!??! So good. - The #41 (vegetarian): Mushrooms, Spinach, Havarti, Tomato, Onion, Pesto Mayo, Rosemary Ciabatta. This is pretty much what I get every time now. read more

Tremont is a little lacking in lunch options, but La Bodega is a great little sandwich shop in Tremont that also has soup and a few salad items. I always get the #40 - tomato, boccicini, basil, and pesto mayo on rosemary ciabatta. Delicious! Everything comes with chips, and service is fast. There is a small eat-in area and tables outside when it's nice out but I get the sense that most of their business is in takeout. Great spot for a quick, fresh, and delicious sandwich to go! read more

Being that I am a transplant from California, I miss all the little salad cafés we had to choose from. I found La Bodega on Yelp and decided to give it a chance. I'll admit, the Tremont neighborhood was exactly where this place should be. Hipsters flock to areas like these. This café is definitely a hip little spot. The neighborhood is super cute too. Small, but mighty. The restaurant is very small. One half is the kitchen and the other half, small tables and a few tables outside to enjoy your food. #52 - It was seriously one of the best salads I've ever had. Chicken, cranberries, toasted walnuts, tomatoes, blue cheese and balsamic dressing over a bed of romaine was my idea of a filling lunch. Everything else looks amazing, so I'll definitely be back. I'm a creature of habit sometimes, so I'll probably order the #52 again though ha ha. read more

La Bodega is my favorite lunch spot in Tremont. Well, Tremont barely has any lunch options, so I'll even go as far as to say my favorite in Cleveland. The sandwiches are always huge and they have tons of choices. I always get the #48 on Asiago - basically a grilled cheese, on cheese bread, with bacon. I mean, how could one ever go wrong with this?! The mac & cheese salad is also realy great - it's a creamy, cheesy (is there a pattern here?) version of macaroni salad. The service is always speedy and even though it's small, we've never had trouble finding a seat if we wanted to eat in. read more

Hell Yea Hangover Sub. With SO many options, I ordered the #45: Southwestern Sub. It was great, and huge, and smashed in a panini maker or something of the sort. I would have preferred my turkey warmer and my cheese melted, but it was still amazing. My sub included turkey, thick large crumbles of bacon, jalapeno peppers, colored peppers, tomato, onion, spices, hot sauce, awesome cajun mayo, and Jack cheese. The delicious cajun mayo dripped out of my sub and onto my face and was very sexy. Subs are served with Baked, BBQ or Regular Lays. Quaint environment to enjoy my late lunch. The paint colors and random artwork were peaceful. read more

La Bodega is down the street from my house and has slowly become my staple for when I don't feel like cooking after work. The subs are huge and can easily fill a person up for at least two meals. That is how I justify spending $8-10 bucks for a sandwich. My favorite is the California sub with turkey, marinated artichokes and a delicious garlic/sun dried tomato mayo. It's served on crisp french bread and put in the panini press. The chicken salad is good as well, and served in a wide variety of options. The menu is a bit extensive so it'll take me a while to work through it, although I keep ordering the same thing over and over. They also have a pretty good list of vegetarian options available as well as an interesting variety of pop, iced teas and waters. The decor has that trendy mom and pop vibe and the workers are always very friendly. read more

A cute lil restaurant which a group of us happened upon only because the wait at Lucky's Cafe was out of control and because apparently this is the only other place that opens in Tremont before 12PM on a Saturday. Seriously?! I can speak for everyone in our group by saying that the food was great. My Italian sub in particular was delicious. I would definitely get it again. I was a bit turned off by the slow service (15 minutes for 3 subs and a salad?!), which I overlooked for the most part while catching up with friends, and I was a bit turned off by the price. $9.75 for an Italian sub and a bag of chips? Eek. Maybe I am a bit spoiled by Bari's (Chicago) $6 footlong Italian sub that doubles as two meals, but I still found this to be a bit pricey. I bought for the SO, and two subs, two bags of chips, and two cans of pop came to $23+. Yikes. When in Cleveland! read more

This place has been in Tremont for quite a while and there's no mystery as of why! Everything is always fresh and very quick. Love eating lunch prepared by these friendly people! My favorite item on the menu is number 27 check it out!! read more

Do not get the California turkey sub!! The turkey meat is of the lowest quality lunch meat. It's extremely processed not to mention bland and the texture is slimy and rubbery. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their subs all of which were non-turkey. Subway honestly has better quality turkey than this place... read more

La Bodega is a hidden gem in Tremont. I often find myself going here to have lunch by myself. It's quaint little place with a couple tables inside. In the warmer months they have picnic tables outside. The asiago cheese bread is my favorite! I usually get the #15, with Gouda cheese instead of Swiss and the balsamic mayo. Perfection. I always try to save the second have but end up eating it instead. They have a great beverage selection with different pops and teas. The only complaint I have is the price - a little over priced, but the sandwiches are huge and very unique. Depending on who's working, some of the staff don't have much of a personality. However, I find myself continually coming back! read more

I was looking for a sandwich shop around the Tremont area and found La Bodega. My boyfriend ordered the southwestern(#45), I got the tuna melt(#26) and we were not disappointed! Both sandwiches were amazing. Will definitely visit again! read more

You want the sandwich, you can't handle the sandwich. Great sandwich place in Tremont, my favorite 'hood. Watch the attractive people walk by with their dog while you eat. They may just come in so you can strike up a conversation and get a date out of it too. I usually get the number 22. Roast beef on sourdough with havarti cheese (never really can find good havarti anywhere). Service is always good and quick. I'll pay a little more for a sandwich for that old fashioned good service. I can only get there once in a while but they treat me like a regular. This ain't no franchise subway son. You won't get these epic mealtime sandwiches anywhere. They should have some man vs. food size challenge to add to the legend of this one if kind place. read more

This is a place that I've been wanting to check off my list to try for a while. When I first arrived, I got the distinct impression that they expected me to know what my order was already. The menu is huge! When I asked for a recommendation, she energetically made some. I ended up with the Greek sub and my lunch partner ordered the California sub. Holy HUGE! They were panini grilled, came with chips, and totally delicious! I do wish the chips were something more exciting than Lays. Seems like a waste of calories just to eat Lays potato chips. ;) Overall, this was a total win. The building is a little obscure. Not quite in the heart of Tremont, but in a cozy corner spot off Starkweather. The dining space is small, so I could see a lunchtime rush limiting your options. They also used shelving in the dining space for extra storage, which diminished some of the charm, but hey - storage space is limited in old buildings. If anyone understands that, it's this girl. I would definitely come back here! Great lunch spot. read more

Solid sandwiches. A bit pricy for a Tremont bodega essentially, but a decent meal on the go.

Fantastic sandwiches. DON'T BE MISLEAD BY THE NAME! A New Yorker visiting Cleveland, I know a bodega as an ethnic deli, and depending on where you are, dodgy. This is the furthest thing from it! I found this gem on Yelp. I had the #23 roastbeef, cream cheese, caramelized onions and peppers on bread that blew my mind. Also grabbed the macaroni and cheese cold salad that had blocks of cheese and a sour cream base. You don't want to miss either of these creations! The place is quaint set on a corner with outdoor seating, and indoor seating is clean and surrounded with great art pieces. Good selection of drinks and menu had so many amazing selections available. The folks working were very friendly and the whole vibe was very cool. Don't miss out. read more

La Bodega is great! The sandwiches are wonderful, and I'm glad that they survived the gas explosion, and came back strong! I've tried many sandwiches and have been happy with each one! #27 (turkey, smoked gouda, balsamic mayo) is amazing, as are all of their chicken salad varieties ranging from Curry to Sun Dried Tomato. read more

I used to live in Tremont and La Bodega was a weekly ritual. They have a huge selection of sandwiches. It is always so hard to choose because they are all amazing. If you're in the Tremont area this is a must stop! read more

La Bodega - #20, I still can't believe how huge it is for only $6!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

The only real glaring positive of La Bodega is their bread. The bread is the very foundation of a sandwich. What disappointed me most was that after the bread everything else was just average. I had the Italian (#44), and felt as though for the $9 price there should have been a bit more of the meats and veggies loaded between the wonderful bread. This may be the first time I've ever said this about a sub sandwich, but the fillings were what dragged down the quality of the bread here. 99.9% of the time it's the other way around. The staff was also very friendly, and had patience as I tried to analyze their extensive menu. They also have a nice selection of craft sodas to wash down your meal. I'm torn between 2 stars and 3 three on this one, and am only giving it a 3rd star because of the bread and the friendly staff. If you find yourself in Tremont during lunchtime I suppose it'd be a good stop since there doesn't seem to much open during that time, but I'd just as rather drive a bit farther for some better valued options. read more

My go to lunch spot when I am at work. I love their salads, especially their Southwestern Salad w/chicken. The service has always been fast and friendly, usually the same girl working behind the counter. Their is some seating in the back and I never had an issue finding a spot. My only negative is that it is on the pricy side but most of my sandwiches and salads have been split into 2 meals so when you look at it that way, it's not a bad price at all. read more

We stopped by for a quick lunch, more or less sight unseen. We had three great sandwiches, and got to sit outside among friendly folks. I had the Southwest Sandwich, my friends had the Tuna Salad sandwiches, and all three were terrific. read more

La Bodega - Sandwiches Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Great lunch time spot. I work right down the street from the Midtown location so I was delighted to find out about them. They have very friendly staff that always great you with a smile. The menu is extensive, lots of choice to look through so of you are looking to come for the first time be prepared tonbe on sandwich overload! My two favorite sandwiches are the turkey sandwich with cranberry mayo and the smoked salmon on the bagel. Have never tried any of the side that they offer but they look good. Bon Appétit! read more

La Bodega - Midtown location - Sandwiches Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Had the Italian it was great and it was massive!!! The bread was fresh also - loved the location being close to my office in downtown Cleveland I will definitely return read more

The menu here is huge, and they have a great vegetarian selection :D I've had a few hummus wraps, you can live on one for about a week, they are HUGE. Today I got the #63 Grilled Swiss, Mozzarella, Provolone plain (they usually put tomato, onion ,spinach, and mayo) and when I got back to work I noticed it was not plain. I called up expecting to have to go back to pick up a new sandwich, but the girl offered to deliver it right to me. She also gave me an extra bag of chips and a cookie. So great! The #63 is ooey and gooey and just super delicious. They also have the best balsamic vinaigrette I've ever tasted and the most divine homemade croutons! (PS my review is for the La Bodega on Superior that just opened up not the Tremont location) read more

Sandwiches are all excellent! The service is good as well. My husband wants to move in upstairs so he can eat here every day. Try anything with the pesto, for sure. My man had ham pineapple Brie and honey mustard, and was blown away! read more

This super-rad sandwich shop is in Tremont. A small dining room to eat in, picnic tables outside during the summer, and take-out also! Soups, Salads, and of course, the Sandwiches! Whie some sandwiches may strike you as on the expensive side, up to $9.50 I believe, there is enough there to feed more than one person, at least in my house. Try the Californian (#47) which is my favourite. Turkey, artichoke hearts, herbs, swiss, sundried tomato garlic mayo to name some of the toppings that make that my favourite sandwich ever! The people that work there are super friendly, and if you're lucky you may get a cartoon drawn on your order! Plenty of vegetarian selections to boot! Make sure to stop in. read more

La Bodega - Sandwiches Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

I like La Bodega. Located in center of Tremont and easily accessible. I called my order ahead and young woman was very nice. I had Turkey on Asiago Cheese bread with carmelized onions, smoked gouda, sprouts, and a mayo that was nicely balanced with the sandwich. Anyway, I have been working from home recently and this place is nice for a quick carryout. I will be back for nice vegetarian options. Give me a hug if you see me at La Bodega. I'm recovering from surgery. read more

When I think of a bodega i don think sandiwch shop, but sure. Good, fresh ingredients. Super close to the crib and keep pretty good hours. Im glad to see they werent too affected by the house explosion next door. I come here once and a while only because its just a tad expensive for a luch/sandwich. Every time I leave outa here its in the 15 dollar range. Kinda reminds me of the old Take A Bite..good but overpriced. I guess thats Tremont for ya. Cater to the 10% of rich people who live here. For 15 bux I can get a 40 and a massage at the rub-and-tug down the street! I will be back...just after my "massage" read more

I LOVE this place! I do not eat meat and they have very creative options for meatless sandwiches. There is one girl that works there that is way friendlier than the others.....if everyone acted like her, this would have been an easy 5 stars. I think the prices are extremely reasonable....for $6 I get a spinach, tomato, onion, mushroom, walnut, cream cheese and honey sandwich on fantastic asiago - plus a bag of chips. read more

First time here. Ordered 4 sandwiches and only one was half way decent. The veggie sub was 9.50 and it was ALL bread. There was ONE tiny strip of red onion , a few red peppers and not even a whole tomato on the WHOLE entire sub. Very disappointed. read more

This place is the place to hit up for sammiches in the Cleveland area. Nice people, amazing sandwiches with lotso veggie options and you can eat half and take half home for dinner, they're that big. Try the #58 or any of the roast beef options if you're a hearty type or if you like to take naps after lunch. Finish this off with a iced green tea so you can burn one-eightieth of the calories you just ate up. Mmmmm doesn't matter. The owner is super-nice and always thankful you've come in, unlike some other sub shops in Cleveland. This is a must if you're in and around the Tremont area and want a sandwich-type lunchtime bonanza of taste in your mouth... read more

Decent little dive to grab a sandwich or pasta salad. My fav is the cran-mayo dressing on the turkey sandwich.

I found La Bodega as I was wandering around Tremont one afternoon. Like the previous reviewer, I was impressed by the sandwiches! It was one of the most delicious sandwiches I've ever had. Lots of leafy greens and good dressing/sauce. Now I'm thinking when I'll head over to the west side next so that I can eat one of these sandwiches... read more

This is the best sandwich shop I've ever been to! I LOVE this place. Almost every time I'm in Cleveland I try to stop here. They're cranberry mayo is PHENOM! I believe it's the #12 I get. With Asiago bread. I highly recommend this place! It's SO good! read more

What's Not to love about a place that makes sandwiches?!! They have many sandwiches to choose from whether you are a meat or veggie lover.
