Sara’s Too

Nice workers, good food, and outlets for your phone or laptop (not to mention free wifi) what more could you ask for?

Sara’s 2 is a sandwich shop. They offer a long menu of sandwich options and a rotating selection of soups. I like that you can create your own sandwich from a wide range of bread, meat, cheese, condiment and topping options. I especially enjoy that you can get a croissant or pretzel sandwich! I’m all about customization and variety, which is my favorite part about Sara’s Too.
I live less than a mile from Sarah’s Too, yet I’ve only been here a handful of times and probably will never go back. Here’s why: the interior is dated, so drab that it’s a rather depressing place to be. At lunch it can get busy. Once all of the tables were full, so I sat in the back room– Warning, that is a major no-​no. The staff member literally yelled at me that it was a private lunch room. If the room is off-​limits please shut the large double doors and if a patron makes the mistake of sitting down to eat there please don’t yell at them.
Also, can someone please explain the radio posters hung outside?

Possibly the worst service I have ever received. As we walked in the door the staff was being yelled at from behind the counter about taking orders correctly. I placed an order for a sandwich with no vegetables and a small bowl of chili.
The sandwich was brought out with lettuce and onions on it and I took it back. Several minutes went by and the staff returned with the original sandwich. They had dug through it to verify and said «we can’t find onions». My wife asked why I would eat something that they had dug through…“we used gloves” was the reply.
After offering to remake the sandwich I waited 20 minutes and no sandwich was brought out. I left and will not return to this establishment in the near future

Oops, never mind! This place is Sara’s too. I have another review for the location on arctic and another for Sara’s too.

I live within a 45 second drive to Sara’s and I’ve been here just a few times. It took about 7 months to even give it a shot simply because the building is so confusing to me. Is there still a radio show being broadcast inside? My instinct tells me no. But the signage tells me yes. After living a block away for 2 years I still drive by at night and do a double take just in case it actually is a multipurpose building and there’s a late night radio broadcast occurring inside. I imagine it being Leon Phelps, the ladies man. No such luck as of yet.
I can’t speak to the coffee drinks, but I have not been overly impressed in my trips for sandwiches. I’ve had the chicken caesar and almost drowned in salad dressing and I’ve had the meatball sub and mostly enjoyed it. Definitely better than subways’. I love me a meatball sub.
I would describe my feelings for Sara like this: If you found out tonight that you had twenty people coming over to your house tomorrow and were required to throw together subs for them, the product at Sara’s closely mimics what you would likely produce. You’d go to the grocery store and grab a couple bags of generic rolls, some lettuce, tomatoes, and some packages of Oscar Myer meats, build em up, and squirt some mayo and mustard on top. And that would be okay, I just can’t justify spending $ 10 on it at a «sandwich shop».
I will try Sara again, I want to like it, I just haven’t been won over.

The sweet and spicy creation croissant sandwich is yumlicious! I have had their French dip and a turkey sandwich all of which were fantastic. Service sometimes lacks, the chili is the worst part about this place. That and the bad coffee and espresso are enough to take them off my favorite list but still a regular in places I visit.
And YES, you can make these sandwiches at home but if you need something quick and happen to be in the area– I would say this isn’t the worst place to go.

Like «S2» said, the quality of the sandwich is about what I make at home and aren’t anything to be excited about. Not to mention, its mostly bread and hardly any meats. Don’t think I’ll go back.

You can make the sandwiches just as good at home, nothing special. Dangerous atmosphere with homeless people sitting around the building and inside. Coffee is less than spectacular also. Overall a bland and uncomfortable place to eat.

Almost as good as the original on Arctic

Great service!!! Inexpensive sandwiches and drinks. Plus wifi!!! What else could anyone ask for? Maybe just to keep it slightly warmer. I guess it’s colder in here cause there is a lot if traffic in this place. Service is super friendly and fast. They soups are phenomenal and their sandwiches are monstrous!!! They have a drive thru, and you can call your order in for pick up, how cool!!!

Went there once n didn’t like it the sandwich wasn’t great nice cozy spot tho. I had a frappachino that taste tasteless?

The girls behind the counter were clueless. I ordered a small Dirty Chai, it’s not hard to make, especially for a coffee shop, they should know what, and how to make it. They had to call someone, I’m guessing the owner. Well, they hang up with the person on the phone.
They tell me they will bring it out to me. So I go sit down, they bring me a cup of, I don’t even know. It was ice cold. I brought it back and told the girl behind the counter it was cold. She then tried to make it again, they give me another cup, and it was room temp. When I attempted to bring it back up to the counter, everyone behind the counter were gone, and even the cook was gone, but I could hear them whispering, saying if I was gone or not, once I stepped out the door, they all reappeared behind the counter.
I will say, I will never reccomend this place to anyone. Very bad experience.

I only recently noticed that Saras too was on my side of town before I had gone to the original Sara’s sandwich place and enjoy the sandwiches very often. This placings have a very chill atmosphere and a great Friday I have food. Although this place is not your conventional sandwich place has a good selection and decent priced menu of which I often enjoy the French bread roll!

I’ve visited Sara’s Sandwiches a couple times in the past and always enjoyed the sami I recieved. But, a couple weeks ago, my office ordered in lunch from Sara’s for a big meeting. I have to say, this time around, I have never had a better sandwich. I had co-​workers eyeing my sandwich, wishing they had ordered what I got. Classic hoagie bread, totally loaded with meat, cheese’s and tons of veggies. It was amazing!!! Makes me want MORE!!! Nicely done, Sara’s!!!

If you’re sick of subway then this is the place for you. You will actually get a 12 inch sub instead of the subway 8 inch. Meat cut fresh and fresh veggies also. Pretty decent price and they have a drive thru so you can call ahead and pick up. All the staff has been very friendly and helpful every time i’ve been there. The only downside is the location. especially if you’re coming down boniface, you will have to to turn on northern lights and turn around and come back up the road to turn in. its a real pain.

Sara Too’s is within walking distance from my workplace and offers a decent selection of soups, sandwiches, coffee… Anyway, it beats the gas station. And I was pretty impressed when I asked for a soy substitute and they had it. My only complaint is that they can take forever to serve you. They usually have one teenager working at the counter to serve the drive-​thru and in-​person customers and make drinks. And it gets pretty hectic during peak hours. But if you have time, no big deal.

I think this place was open for a year before I realized it was no longer the religious coffee-​shop, although I go by often. Did they even advertise or put out a big sign when they switched?
Anyway, on first visit didn’t realize were supposed to place order via their paper system. They don’t have any signs out to make it obvious, so fyi they have slips of paper and pens at the counter to make your order. I don’t think it helps any as the paper-​system is a little complicated and in paying attention I noticed they end up having to verify/​correct a lot of people’s orders.
My last complaint is there is only one basic veggie option. Would love if they offered one of the faux products.
But no complaints about the quality of food from anyone in group on any visit.
And the staff has always been pleasant.

Yum! Stopped in today with some ladies for a quick lunch. On recommendation of others in our party we decided to split a garlic herb wrap filled with all the delicious fresh veggies, meat, & cheese. Had a small side of potato salad with it that was good too. The wrap is definitely enough to split. Next time will try a wheat French roll. The food came out quickly and satisfied all our hungry tummies!
Nicely decorated. Was really surprised when I stepped inside. Will definitely be back and next time will try a coffee too!

I recently wrote a review for Sara’s Sandwich shop on Artic here in Anchorage. I really enjoyed it, but was uncertain when I would travel that side of town to revisit. Imagine how surprised and excited I was when I found out that Sara had taken over the building that The Reverend «May I ask for a donation please» Prevo had previously occupied as a coffee establishment. I could not give you a review of the coffee shop that Prevo ran, because I flat assed refused to go to it… BUT Sara is there now!!! THERE IS A GOD!!! He threw Prevo out and gave it to Sara, and I am so happy he did. Her sami menu is outstanding, the selections are all tasty with FRESH ingredients! Do not be fooled by the signs you see when you drive by… GO IN!!! The samis ROCK!!!
