Downtown Disney just leveled up its carb game. Earl of Sandwich has opened a permanent, two-story flagship at the west end of the Downtown Disney District in Anaheim, officially debuting on June 26, 2026. The new build is the largest Earl of Sandwich location yet, featuring a dedicated carve station and an upstairs pub that pours beer, wine and frozen cocktails. The shop is slated to open daily at 8 a.m. and keep service going into the evening to catch the park and Downtown Disney crowds.
What’s new at the two-story spot
The restaurant quietly began serving at 5 p.m. on June 26, according to the Whittier Daily News. Robert Earl put it bluntly: “We didn’t want to simply build another Earl of Sandwich. We wanted to create a destination worthy of the Downtown Disney District,” as reported by DapsMagic.
The star of the ground floor is The Carvery, a centerpiece station where staff slice premium pastrami to order for guests. Upstairs, The Pub adds a more laid-back hangout vibe, with a lineup focused on draft beer, wine and frozen drinks aimed at park-weary adults looking to refuel.
Menu, hours and where to find it
The Downtown Disney location sticks to the chain’s comfort-food playbook, with a menu that includes hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, salads, pizza, soups and breakfast staples, according to the brand’s official pages. The menu on Earl of Sandwich lists items such as Earl’s Pastrami at $10.49 and breakfast sandwiches starting around $7.49, with many offerings coming in under double-digit prices.
The same site lists the restaurant’s address as 1575 S Disneyland Dr and shows regular daily hours beginning at 8 a.m., putting it squarely in the path of both early risers and late-day grazers.
From pop-up trailer to permanent home
Before this two-story setup, Earl of Sandwich was holding down the fort in Downtown Disney with a temporary pop-up trailer near the Star Wars Trading Post in 2024 while construction moved ahead on a bricks-and-mortar space, as detailed by WDW News Today. City permits and follow-up reporting showed that the former La Brea Bakery building was demolished as part of a broader west-end refresh that also cleared room for a planned Porto’s Bakery location, according to Los Angeles Times…
