At 2925 Park Ave in Santa Clara, Annie’s Sandwiches has been quietly doing one thing very well since 2009: making fresh sandwiches, fast, for a neighborhood that includes Santa Clara University students, San Jose Mineta Airport (SJC) travelers, and the office workers who fill the surrounding business parks. It is a family-owned shop, not a chain, and the menu reflects that — a genuine split between traditional Vietnamese Banh Mi and classic American deli sandwiches, built from the same kitchen.
This guide covers what’s actually on the menu, what it costs, when the shop is open, how catering works, and what people say about eating there — sourced from Annie’s own current price list and its official website, not guesswork.
A Neighborhood Fixture Since 2009
Annie’s has operated at the same Park Ave address for more than fifteen years, which in the fast-turnover world of small food businesses is its own kind of credential. The location — 0.8 miles from Santa Clara University and a quick drive from SJC — was never an accident. It puts Annie’s in reach of three very different customer groups on any given day: students grabbing something between classes, travelers who want a real meal before or after a flight, and local professionals ordering lunch from nearby offices.
The shop describes its identity as a bridge between two food traditions: Vietnamese Banh Mi, made with the traditional pork roll, pâté, and pickled daikon and carrot that define the style, and American deli sandwiches — club sandwiches, tri-tip, turkey and avocado — built the way a neighborhood deli builds them. Both menus are treated as first-class, not as an afterthought bolted onto the other.
The Menu: Two Kitchens, One Counter
Annie’s current menu (confirmed against the shop’s own price list) is organized into six categories: Banh Mi, American Sandwiches, Sides, Dishes (rice and noodle bowls), Drinks, and Coffee.
Banh Mi (10 varieties, $8.00–$10.95): The Banh Mi lineup runs from the fully loaded Combo Sandwich ($10.95) — steamed pork roll, BBQ pork, ham, and pâté with fresh pickled vegetables on a 12-inch baguette — down through single-protein options like the Grilled Chicken Sandwich ($9.95), Grilled Beef Sandwich ($10.95), Grilled Pork Sandwich ($9.95), BBQ Pork Sandwich ($9.95), Pork Steam Roll Sandwich ($9.95), and Ham Roll Sandwich ($9.95). Vegetarian eaters have the Tofu Sandwich ($9.25) and Avocado Sandwich ($9.25), and the Sardine in Tomato Sauce Sandwich ($8.00) is a distinctive, less-common option worth calling out for anyone who grew up with it.
American Sandwiches (7 items, $4.50–$10.95): This side of the menu covers the Turkey Avocado Special Sandwich ($9.95) — turkey, melted Jack cheese, bacon, avocado, and lettuce — Annie’s Club Sandwich ($10.95), the BBQ Tri Tip Sandwich ($10.95), a straightforward Tuna Sandwich ($8.50), and a Grilled Cheese ($4.50) for anyone who wants something simple and cheap. Two wraps round it out: the Caesar Wrap ($8.00) and Turkey Wrap ($8.00).
Sides ($1.50–$7.00): Spring Roll ($6.00) — shrimp, steamed pork, vermicelli, and mint, wrapped fresh daily with peanut hoisin sauce — is the standout starter. Also available: Chef’s Salad ($6.50), Grilled Chicken Salad ($6.00), Pork Bun ($7.00), and Chips ($1.50).
Dishes — rice and noodle bowls ($10.25–$11.95): Chicken Over Rice, Chicken Over Noodle, Pork Over Rice, and Pork Over Noodles are each $10.95; Beef Over Rice and Beef Over Noodle run $11.95 as the premium option; Tofu Over Rice is $10.25 for a vegetarian bowl.
Drinks and Coffee: The signature order here is the Vietnamese Coffee ($6.00) — the condensed-milk iced coffee regulars come back for specifically (see our full guide to it linked below). Thai Milk Tea and Green Milk Tea are $6.00 each, and a Smoothie ($7.25) is the most premium drink on the list. Canned and bottled options — Coke, Pepsi, Dr Pepper, Sprite, Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, Arizona Tea, La Croix (four flavors), Spindrift (three flavors), Shasta Root Beer, and bottled water — round out the drink case at $1.00–$2.50 each.
Freshness and Quality
Two details, confirmed directly by the business, explain a lot about why the food tastes the way it does: baguettes are toasted to order rather than pre-toasted and held, and vegetables — including the pickled daikon and carrot that go into every Banh Mi — are cut fresh daily rather than prepped once for the week. For a sandwich shop, those are the two variables that separate “fine” from “genuinely good,” and Annie’s builds its process around getting both right every day.
