Every Subway sandwich starts the same way: pick a bread, pick a protein, then build it however you like with free vegetables, cheese, and sauce. With so many options at the counter, it helps to know exactly what’s available before you get there. This is the complete, updated Subway toppings list for 2026 — every bread, vegetable, cheese, and extra currently offered, plus how to build a sandwich that actually works.

Subway Bread Options (2026)

Bread is the foundation of every sandwich and changes the flavor more than people expect. Here’s the full Subway bread lineup, available in both 6-inch and footlong sizes.

Subway Bread Options — 2026
Bread	Description	Calories (6″)
Artisan Italian (White)	The classic. Soft, light, neutral flavor — a blank canvas for any filling.	200
9-Grain Wheat	A heartier option with the texture of white bread plus whole grain flavor.	200
Hearty Multigrain	The most robust, textured bread on the core menu.	210
Italian Herbs & Cheese	Italian white bread topped with dried herbs and melted Monterey cheddar.	240
9-Grain Honey Oat	Wheat bread with a touch of honey sweetness and oats on top.	230
Jalapeño Cheddar Select Locations	White bread with cheddar and a mild jalapeño kick.	240
Flatbread	A thinner, lighter wrap-style bread, often used for the 12″ wrap format.	230
Rosemary & Sea Salt Regional	Savory, aromatic bread with a slightly crisp crust.	220

Not every bread is available at every location. Artisan Italian, 9-Grain Wheat, and Italian Herbs & Cheese are the most widely available; Jalapeño Cheddar and Rosemary & Sea Salt may be regional or limited-time.

Subway Vegetable Toppings

All standard vegetable toppings are free and can be added in any combination, in any amount, on subs, wraps, and salads alike.

Lettuce
Spinach
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Green Bell Peppers
Red Onions
Pickles
Black Olives
Jalapeños
Banana Peppers
Avocado Select Locations

Vegetables are sliced fresh daily and are by far the easiest way to add volume, crunch, and nutrients to a sandwich without adding meaningful calories. Avocado is the one exception, it’s a newer, regionally available topping and may come at an extra cost where offered.

Subway Cheese Options

Cheese is included with most sandwiches at no extra cost for a standard portion, with some specialty cheeses varying by location.

Subway Cheese Options — 2026
Cheese	Best On
American	Classic subs, club sandwiches
Provolone	Italian-style subs, melted on toasted sandwiches
Monterey Cheddar	Spicy or BBQ-style subs
Swiss Select Locations	Turkey, ham, and club sandwiches
Pepper Jack Select Locations	Spicy builds with jalapeños and Baja Chipotle
Shredded Mozzarella Select Locations	Meatball Marinara and Italian-style subs

Extras & Premium Add-Ons

Beyond the standard free toppings, several add-ons can boost protein or flavor for a small additional cost depending on location.

Bacon
Avocado
Extra Cheese
Extra Meat / Double Protein
Guacamole Select Locations

Double meat is one of the best value tricks at Subway — adding extra protein to a 6-inch sub is often cheaper than upgrading to a footlong if you mainly want more filling rather than more bread.

Seasonings & Extras

Beyond vegetables and cheese, you can finish your sandwich with seasonings at no extra cost.

Salt
Black Pepper
Oregano
Vinegar
Olive Oil Blend

These are typically applied alongside your chosen sauce rather than instead of it, and are especially common on Italian-style subs like the Spicy Italian or B.M.T.
