Dave's Cosmic Subs - Franchise

Our subs are a unique combination of ingredients and flavors, which differentiates us from our competitors. However, our Dave's Cosmic Sauce is what truly makes us special. Similar to a creamy, tangy Italian dressing, our sauce is what keeps customers coming back. All of our subs are served on Italian (vegan), whole wheat, gluten free, or rye bread baked fresh in our ovens throughout the day.
