When temperatures rise across California, our appetites often crave something light, refreshing, but still satisfying. That's where FIREHOUSE summer sandwiches come in - perfectly balanced combinations of fresh ingredients that hit the spot without weighing you down.

Our culinary team has carefully crafted these seasonal favorites that are available for both delivery and pickup across California. Here are our top 5 recommendations for the summer season:

1. The Mediterranean Refresher

Mediterranean Refresher sandwich with hummus and vegetables

This vegetarian delight combines our house-made hummus with cucumber, red onion, roasted red peppers, feta cheese, and a light lemon-olive oil dressing on our signature herb-infused ciabatta. The combination delivers a protein-rich, refreshing option that's perfect for hot days.

2. California Coastal

California Coastal sandwich with avocado and fresh seafood

Our tribute to California's magnificent coastline features sustainably sourced shrimp tossed in a light lemon aioli, layered with avocado, microgreens, and heirloom tomatoes on a whole grain roll. It's protein-packed yet light, with the creamy avocado complementing the delicate seafood perfectly.

3. The Zesty Citrus Chicken

Zesty Citrus Chicken sandwich with orange-marinated chicken

Marinated in orange, lime and a hint of chili, our grilled chicken breast is topped with a citrus slaw, cilantro, and a light yogurt-based sauce. Served on our artisan sourdough, this sandwich delivers a perfect balance of protein, zing, and satisfaction without the heaviness.

4. Summer Garden Club

Summer Garden Club sandwich with seasonal vegetables

We've reimagined the classic club sandwich with summer in mind. Layers of thinly sliced turkey, crisp bacon, seasonal greens, and vine-ripened tomatoes are paired with our special basil aioli on toasted whole grain bread. The familiar flavors come alive with the fresh, seasonal touch.

5. Berry & Brie Delight

Berry & Brie Delight sandwich with fresh berries and cheese

For those who enjoy a sweet and savory combination, our Berry & Brie sandwich is a must-try. Creamy brie cheese paired with our seasonal berry compote, arugula, and a light drizzle of honey on our crusty French baguette creates a sophisticated flavor profile that's refreshingly different.

Perfect Pairings

Each of these sandwiches pairs beautifully with our house-made summer beverages:

  • Cucumber Mint Lemonade
  • Hibiscus Iced Tea
  • Watermelon Basil Fresca
