This place is giving the Starbucks next door a run for their money. My god is the coffee delicious and powerful! Tried a large Lee’s coffee for the first time and it tastes amazing! But beware, the caffeine content in the coffee is ridiculous so pace yourself. I was initially a little skeptical when I first got the drink as most of it is just ice(mixture of shaved and cubed ice). But I was pleasantly surprised with the taste and effect. I can’t speak about anything else at Lee’s because vietnamese sandwiches just aren’t my thing. But if you need a caffeine fix, this place definitely fits the bill!

Delicious and fresh sandwiches. The vietnamese sandwiches are by favorite there and the coffee is to die for. Best tasting coffee I have ever tasted. I will come back for sure.

So I was extremely happy I found LEES near my hometown and just had to get me some because I was deprived from it for almost a year. If you need a pick me up and/or love coffee, GET the Lees Original Iced Coffee. Get the small one, you do not need to get the large unless you do not want to sleep for days lol. Seriously though I love their coffee it has such a unique taste! Also they serve it with crushed ice and its very easy to just sip down the whole drink but that is not the correct way to drink it.(literally) Someone had to teach me to drink it the right way. They serve it with plenty of ice because of how concentrated their coffee is, you need to let the ice melt a little and thennnn drink it. first world probs. As for their sammichs I have tried a couple and they are tasty but I go in for the coffee tbh.

I’ve been hear a handful of times and each time I thought to myself that the sandwiches are kind of bland. I have tried different types of selections hoping one would be better than the other, but compared to other places and other Lee’s chain locations, it’s just not as good. I can’t pinpoint what exactly it is that they are lacking, but it’s pretty flavorless. The eggrolls and spring rolls are ok. They taste average once dipped in sauce. I tried the avocado smoothie here recently and it was pretty bland too. It lacked the avocado taste, even though I did see them put a half in. I don’t know. Maybe it wasn’t ripe? To be honest, I will be back here on days I am starving, but I just can’t say I love the food.

Not bad. There is a signature Lee’s iced coffee that is located in freezers not far from the doorway. I must say it is strong. and delicious! Technically one bottle is to be divided for single servings for beverages you want to make. Pfft. The sandwiches weren’t anything special BUT the freshly baked bread was yummy. Will I come again? Maybe. Would I one day crave something from this location? Possibly. And everything is at a pretty decent price. There is wifi but do take caution of the parking.

$ 3.79 for 5 pork and shrimp egg rolls and $ 2.99 for a bahn mi sandwich. Nothing fancy, just decent fast Vietnamese food.

They now open at 8am but nothing is baked and ready — last time I was there the croissant I got was completely raw in the middle. The people working there are very slow, so if you’re in a hurry in the morning don’t even bother. I don’t understand why you would open and not have anything ready to sell?

Extremely disappointed with my last visit. I didn’t get a sandwich or anything, I just went there to get iced coffee for my brother. He wasn’t going to need it until later, so I asked for no ice so it wouldn’t be watered down. In total, I got 2 large iced coffees with no ice in either of them. What I got was 2 large cups filled up only half way. What I don’t understand is why they don’t fill them up all the way. When I asked why not, all one worker said was, «we don’t do that.» Another employee explained a little more and said, «Oh it’s because the coffee is really strong.» That doesn’t explain why my cups were only barely halfway filled. If you go to any other place and ask for no ice, they still fill your cup up all the way. You pay for a large and you still get a large, but not at Lees. I basically got two smalls but paid for two larges. What a rip off.

They have wifi. They have strong coffee. They are not Starbucks. We have a winner! I hang out here for an hour or two after school to catch up on homework. Strangely enough, they block Google, Youtube and every fun website. The only site that works is my school website. It is as if Lee’s is telling me, NOSLACKINGOFF! You do your homework now!

The guys that work there talk too much. Focus on prep & service & quality more . The food is great. Fresh & tasty !!! Very recommended place. Just pay no attention to the Asian guys«screaming«at each other.

Lee’s Sandwiches is yummy, fresh and cheap for Vietnamese fast-food. The parking lot and seating is small here, but food is good. I always get the meat sandwich #2($ 3) and you’ve got a perfect lunch. I’m not a fan of coffee, but Vietnamese coffee is strong and good. I also noticed that they sell macarons here, so that’s pretty neat.

Two 10 inch Grilled Chicken sandwiches with a large iced coffee for only $ 10.44! The 10 inch sandwich will not fill you up but it is enough to keep you from starving. In any case I am not so sure it is so great to have large portions, so I must admit I like their portions here. Lee’s boasts it is the largest Banh Mi chain out there. I’m kind of surprised. Granted, this is not the best Banh Mi sandwich out there but you can’t beat the value — especially since the sandwich is not all that bad. My only complaint is the grilled chicken itself — it can be kind of less than tender here. A bit chewy and dry. The iced coffee is not that great either. However, I like their baguettes. They may not necessarily be authentic but I feel they are perfectly baked. This place is kind of less than immaculate. Parking is not really an issue since there is a pretty large lot around this place.

Yesterday, I found a pubic hair or armpit hair on my sandwich. It was thick, just gross! Never going there again. I bought it to go and when I got to school I saw it. I called and left a voice mail and I still haven’t received a call to apologize.

Was driving up the 5 fwy northbound and found a Lee’s Sandwich store close by so decided to come and pick up some sandwiches. This location is rather small, but it has a drive-through!

It’s always hit or miss with this place. One day it will be amazing and the next it will be below average. It used to be good every time but now I’m not sure if it’s the people working or just… Well I guess it’s just that lol Still love to give em a shot.

I really used to love the morning staff at this location and I don’t know what happened, why there was a sudden change but the woman that works in the morning now, I’m guessing she is the manager in the mornings but I really will not go to this location because of the service I’ve received the last couple of times I’ve went. Especially the most recent time which was when I received a sarcastic tone from her.

When I forget to bring my lunch to work I typically eat here 50% of the time. The reason I come is because of the bread and the Vietnamese coffee. I consider myself a major bread eater and they have fresh baguettes that they form their sandwiches on. The coffee is legal crack although too expensive to order every time. The sandwiches are super cheap $ 3-$ 3.50 and pretty damn healthy. I recommend the vegetarian #12 banh mi sandwich which is my favorite and I don’t even know what the heck the«vegetarian» toppings are made of that are on it. Although I have tried most of the banh mi sandwiches I’m not a fan of Asian deli meats because they are usually either too salty or too chewy for my liking with the exception of the grilled chicken. One of the only negatives of this place if you like the food is cash only less than $ 8. Restaurant is clean and service is good.

My first time at this Lee’s location. My friends and I stopped by here after shopping at The Citadel outlets. Located in a small plaza, plenty of parking. The place was pretty much empty except for one couple who left soon after we ordered. Many thanks to the awesome guy behind the counter who took our order and joked and chatted with us while we waited for our egg rolls! We asked for our order of 20 egg rolls to be split into two boxes and he gave us two containers of nuoc mam(the dipping sauce) per box! So we got 6 containers yay! He even packaged everything really nicely. Yay for service! Another plus — bathrooms are clean!

I have driven by this place many times and never stopped by, but I am glad I did. Parking sucks so be patient, many different sandwich choices but I went old school with the number 21(ham and cheese). The sandwich is served on a fresh baguette made daily. For a little extra get a side egg roles(shrimp and pork).
