Kathy’s Sandwich House is a straightforward sandwich spot tucked into Vancouver’s Broadway corridor that caters well to locals looking for a quick, fresh meal on the go. This is the kind of place where you’ll find a small but focused menu centered around wraps and sandwiches made with straightforward, wholesome ingredients. The vibe feels like a neighborhood mom-and-pop shop—familiar faces are recognized, and conversations flow easily between the staff and regulars.

The shop is best suited to anyone needing a fast, filling lunch or a casual bite during a busy day. Many customers order takeaway, appreciating the efficiency, but there are a few seats lined up by the window if you feel like lingering over your meal for a moment while watching the street life. Expect a simple, no-frills setting that doesn’t try to do too much beyond providing solid sandwiches and wraps with a few customization options, like avocado or spicy buffalo chicken.

Popular selections include wraps like the Spicy Buffalo Chicken, California Turkey Club, and a Veggie Wrap, all of which reflect practical, approachable flavors rather than flashy culinary experiments. Their freshly made orange juice is a nice touch for those wanting a fresh beverage alongside their meal. While most orders are straightforward, it’s clear from some guests’ experiences that communication around specifics—like warming a wrap or preparing ingredients exactly as requested—can sometimes require explicit reminders.

Morning through mid-afternoon is when this spot hums with activity, especially as local workers and nearby residents grab their sandwiches to fuel up and head back out. The staff’s friendly, casual manner adds to the laid-back atmosphere, making Kathy’s a reliable stop if you want something uncomplicated but thoughtfully prepared. If you’re looking to support a small, local business and prefer a quiet spot without the bustle of larger chains, this could be a steady, if modest, option along West Broadway.

I’m giving 4 stars only because I know a lower rating would affect their overall score. The staff are nice, but I was disappointed. My wrap was still cold after asking to have it warmed, and the onions were raw instead of fried(fried after I mentioned ) They mean well, but you have to be very specific and remind them to follow the recipe and your requests. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back.

Sandwiches, paninis and wraps! Simple menu made with wholesome and fresh ingredients. Customize your own sandwich here! Add avocado to anything it’s delicious. Delightful people run this sandwich shop. They know all their regulars by name and have such friendly attitudes! Mom and pop shop feel. Most people get their sandwiches to go, but there are a couple seats facing the window if you want to chill and people watch while eating. Add a soup or a salad to any panini for a combo price. Their coffee is really good. I was surprised. Got the tuna salad panini that came with cheddar, spinach and tomatoes. And 2 coffees for $12.25 - great price. Metered street parking out front that goes for $1 and hour.

The best sandwiches in town! Kathy makes all her sandwiches with love. I ordered three platters of sandwiches for a party, and she provided a variety of sandwiches and they were all delicious! She is a one woman show and I love supporting small businesses like Kathys sandwiches! She really puts in a lot of effort, in all that she does her sandwiches are soul food!

Came in the morning time. The lady working, who I assume is Kathy, immediately got up and made me my order. The ingredients are great and the prices are great too. Sandwich tasted perfect. Not a single thing you could even remotely complain about! 10/10 would recommend

Upon entering the shop I am always greeted by Kathy with a warm smile! With a solid selection of healthy food and ingredients, Kathy and I would talk about our day and family while she prepped the food! The pricing is good for the portions received as I never feel hungry afterward. Come for the food and stay for the talks!
