Subway in Encinitas occupies a Santa Fe Drive storefront in the Santa Fe Plaza Shopping Center near Encinitas Community Park. The independently owned franchise bakes its Italian, wheat, and multigrain bread on-site on a continuous rotation, a rotating-oven format that parallels the in-house protein prep at Serranos Mexican Food on nearby El Camino Real. Founded nationally in 1965, the Subway system produces sandwiches, wraps, and chopped salads through a visible assembly line where each ingredient is added at the diner's direction. The location earned a 96-out-of-100 San Diego County health inspection score and stocks a catering menu of sandwich platters and cookie trays, adding a grab-and-go complement to the cold-pressed lineup at Nekter Juice Bar in the same neighborhood. Footlong and six-inch builds use fresh-cut vegetables portioned from whole produce rather than pre-packaged ingredient kits.
