The only place in Taipei, or Taiwan for that matter, that makes an authentic Cuban sandwich (Cubano). They also make other delicious sandwiches (including one excellent vegetarian option) that are heated up with a sandwich press.

Many Westerners claim that LBC makes the best sandwiches in Taipei. I concur that they easily make the best pastrami, tuna melt, and patty melt in Taipei. They use quality ingredients. One of the main reasons their sandwiches are superb is that LBC is owned by the man who opened Purebread Bakery, which possibly produces the best Western bread in Taipei.

When I think of sanwiches, Mount Kao Sandwich Shop is the first place that pops into my head. It has become my favorite sandwich shop. They have low prices (fries come with sandwiches), delicious food, and a nice atmosphere.

They have the best cheap sandwiches in Taipei. You most likely will not find any other yummy sandwich in Taipei that's as cheap as the sandwiches at Grilled Sendwish. Every sandwich is grilled with butter on the bread. They have a nice array of choices, including great vegetarian options.

As you can see in the bottom right picture in the photo below, their sandwiches have a good amount of meat inside, which is something that most places in Taipei fail to do. It also comes with nice bread and fries, but isn't cheap by no means.

The Island used to make some of the best panini in Taipei. They're not as good as they used to be, they used to be the absolute best, but they're still ranked near the top when compared to other Taipei panini places. They also have some of the best milkshakes and smoothies in Taipei. This is one of those stupid cafes where they force you to buy an overpriced drink to eat at their place.
