I don't normally go for "fast food" type breakfast, but I heard about the Subway breakfast offerings, so I was a little curious. I stopped by on my way to work this morning to pick up a to-go order.
The first problem is trying to get into this little strip shopping center on Conlan Circle during the morning rush. The problem is the Starbucks next door with a drive-through window. Traffic backs up down the street for people trying to go through the drivethrough to get their caffeine fixes. When I finally made it to Subway, there were several other people in the store also picking up breakfast and I saw only 2 employees, so things were a little on the slow side. Employees were a little sluggish and not very helpful. (Maybe they should have stopped by Starbucks before they started their shift to get a big espresso.)
The Subway breakfast options are pretty limited so I just ordered an egg flatbread melt with cheese. It was not terrible, but certainly nothing I would go back for. By the time I got it to the office (just a block away) the egg was cold and I really couldn't taste the cheese.
Next time I am in a hurry and want a "fast-food" b-fast, I'll just stop at the Chick-fil-A at Stonecrest. Their egg & cheese on a multigrain bagel is much tastier and more convenient.
If Subway wants to compete in the breakfast space against Chick-fil-a, Bojangles, and all the bagel places, they really need to up their game and offer something more compelling than what they have now.
