What People Say

"The sandwich was absolutely delicious! The ham had a subtle ginger flavor and wasn't too salty."

Reviewers consistently praise the delicious sandwiches and the nice atmosphere, making it a great spot for a casual meal.

"I got there too late for the full sandwich selection (go early - they all sound amazing!) but the peanut butter/sprout slaw situation one I had was absolutely delicious. Cute little location/building and decor! Lollie cake was AMAZING."

"All the toasties were already sold out since I got there an hour before closing. I had their signature pink bun — I thought it was a cinnamon bun, but it was actually filled with strawberry jelly and topped with sugar icing. The coffee was really good, and the atmosphere was nice and chill."

"The sandwich was absolutely delicious! The ham had a subtle ginger flavor and wasn't too salty, and the crunchiness of the bread was superb. I'll definitely be coming back for more next time!"
