Subway Breakfast Menu, Times & What's Actually Good
Subway breakfast is one of the most under-used parts of the menu: cheap, high in protein, endlessly customisable — and not available everywhere. Here is the full lineup, realistic prices, the hours question, and what is genuinely worth ordering.
Subway breakfast hours
There is no national breakfast window. At participating restaurants, breakfast items go on sale the moment the doors open — usually 7:00 a.m. on weekdays, sometimes 8:00 a.m. on Sundays — and a large majority keep serving them throughout the day. That is a genuine advantage over rivals with a hard 10:30 a.m. cut-off: eggs, bacon and cheese are stocked on the same line as everything else, so there is no changeover.
A minority of stores do stop at 11:00 a.m., typically the busiest lunch locations that need the line space. Two ways to check in under a minute: open the Subway app with your store selected and see whether breakfast items are orderable right now, or call. General opening times are covered in the Subway hours guide.
Not every location serves breakfast
Breakfast participation is a franchisee decision. Highway travel plazas, airports, and higher-volume standalone stores are the most likely to offer it. Small in-store kiosks inside Walmart or a mall food court frequently do not.
What's actually on the breakfast menu
The lineup is deliberately small, because the customisation does the heavy lifting. Core items at participating US restaurants:
- Bacon, Egg & Cheese — the default order and the most-sold breakfast item. Available as a six-inch, Footlong or wrap.
- Black Forest Ham, Egg & Cheese — leaner than bacon, slightly sweeter, the same price band.
- Steak, Egg & Cheese — the premium option and by far the highest in protein.
- Egg & Cheese — vegetarian, and the cheapest way onto the breakfast menu.
- Breakfast wraps — the same four fillings rolled in a large soft lavash; more filling per wrap than a six-inch.
- Egg white option — available at many locations in place of whole egg patties, cutting fat and calories.
Everything is built on your choice of bread — Italian, Hearty Multigrain, Flatbread, Italian Herbs & Cheese — and you can add anything from the vegetable bar at no extra cost. Spinach, tomato and green pepper on an egg sandwich are free and make it a substantially better breakfast. Coffee is served at most breakfast-participating stores alongside juice and the usual fountain drinks.

Calories and protein
A six-inch Egg & Cheese lands around 360–400 calories with roughly 19g of protein. Add bacon and you are near 450 calories and 23g of protein. The Steak, Egg & Cheese six-inch pushes past 480 calories but delivers close to 30g of protein, which makes it the best protein-per-dollar breakfast on the board.
The lever that matters most is not the meat — it is the sauce and cheese. Skipping mayo and chipotle saves 100–200 calories instantly, and swapping to egg whites cuts another 30–50. A six-inch egg white and ham sandwich on multigrain with spinach and tomato, no cheese, comes in near 300 calories with 20g of protein. Full breakdowns in the nutrition guide.
Four breakfast orders worth knowing
- Highest protein: Footlong Steak, Egg & Cheese on multigrain, extra egg, no sauce. Roughly 55–60g of protein.
- Lowest calorie: six-inch Egg White & Cheese on multigrain with spinach, tomato, onion and mustard.
- Best value: six-inch Bacon, Egg & Cheese as a meal with coffee — usually a dollar or two below the parts bought separately.
- Most filling: the Steak, Egg & Cheese wrap. The lavash holds a Footlong's worth of filling in one hand.
Frequently asked questions
What time does Subway stop serving breakfast?
Many participating locations serve breakfast all day because the ingredients share the regular prep line. Others stop at 11:00 a.m. Since breakfast participation is a franchisee decision, confirm with your specific store.
Does every Subway serve breakfast?
No. Breakfast is offered at participating locations only. Travel plazas, airports and higher-traffic standalone stores are the most likely to serve it; small mall and Walmart kiosks often do not.
How much is a Subway breakfast sandwich?
A six-inch egg sandwich typically runs $4.99 to $7.49, a Footlong $7.99 to $11.49, and a breakfast wrap $7.49 to $10.99, depending on the protein and your location.
Can I get any sandwich with egg on it?
At most breakfast-serving locations, yes — egg is an available ingredient, so you can add it to a regular sub or build any breakfast combination you want on any bread.
