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.
| 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 |
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.
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.
| 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.
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.
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.
