Excellent tuna sandwiches. My husband had a tuna melt and I had a spicy tuna sandwich. The bread was excellent and we appreciated sitting outdoors. School was out for spring break but I can imagine that it gets busy when college is in session. read more

Excellent gluten free bagels or "toasties". We visited 3 times in our week trip. I had the simple ham and cheese with mustard and it was amazing. We sat outside and listened to a bagpiper playing. read more

Bobby's Sandwich Bar is in a great location for grabbing a quick and tasty lunch on your way back from the Royal Mile or the nearby Greyfriars Bobby's Bar. I've been here a few times and it always offers pleasant, quick service and a comfortable environment to enjoy your lunch in. The food is also excellent. They have a great range of sandwiches from prawn mayonnaise to mature cheddar and onion. I usually go for the tuna mayo with cucumber and bag of crisps. It costs less than £3 and tastes amazing with delcious bread and really fresh salad. Further, they're never stingy with their portion sizes and you really feel like you're getting value for your money. Haven't tried the soup myself, but my friends rave about it, especially the tomato and pepper. If you're in the area and fancy a delicious, cheap lunch then Bobby's Sandwich Bar is the place. read more

I expected Bobby's sandwich bar to be expensive because it's right next to a busy tourist area but it really isn't, in fact prices are amazing, service is quick, food is tasty. There is art work on display that is for sale too which is a fab. There isn't much seating though that's the only thing, a couple of tables outside and a narrow breakfast bar inside and what looks to be like a church pew along the wall but worth a pop in for a snack. It says on yelp that it isn't open on Sunday but it is, so get yourself down there! read more

Stopped in while walking past, after leaving Greyfriars Kirkyard. I had a veggie haggis and Violife toastie without the brown sauce, just to make sure it was vegan, and it ruled The guy who made the toastie, a man with a shaved head who I believe is the owner, was really kind and helpful, and the cashier was as well read more

Splendid wee spot for tea and bacon butties. Fast, friendly service and cheap prices. Just steps away from Greyfriars Kirk and the Nat'l Museum of Scotland. read more

Bobby's Sandwich Bar - Bacon butty - Sandwiches Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

walked in this morning hoping for a great breakfast bagel cream cheese and bacon. door was open so I walked in. rude man said they were not open and to come back in 10 minutes. I gave him 15 minutes and waited for a friend. we both entered this time and asked for the cream cheese bacon bagel . again he rudely says there is not bacon. after two rude replies I just walked out and went to another shop up the street and was met with kind people and had a nice breakfast. service was rude! would never return. read more

Bobby's served me very good soup and a very tasty roll, so is well worth a visit. An over-commitment to minimal waste resulted in them having no bags to transport my goods, during my visit, but I'm sure this isn't always the case! Overall, we said: "Bobby's served me very nicely. Both the soup and roll were very good, and the range of sandwiches on offer was such that your interest is likely to be well retained, should this be your local sandwich place. Now, if they could just get some bags so that folks can properly brown-bag their lunch, they'd have me stopping-by on a regular basis." read more

The best tuna with sweetcorn baguette in Edinburgh. Fact The tuna sweetcorn baguette was my lifeline when I was in uni. I used to buy cheesy Doritos from across the way and put them in the baguette. No joke, I am actually salavating a little as I type this. I don't know what it was but the sweetcorn was wonderfully fresh and sweet, tuna not too fishy, just right on the mayo, and the baguette was wonderfully crispy on the outside and gorgeously soft on the inside. I am seriously starving now. When I go back, I will be getting a bacon sarnie, as per Mary L's recommendation. My only complaint is that it's only open until 2 or 3pm (at least it used to be) so I can't go there right now. read more

This is a cool wee sandwich bar indeed, both conviently located and selling tasty AM timed and lunch time wares. I think because sandwich bars are less of a one off place that you'll visit, and more of a regular everyday thing, particularly if you work in the area, it's important to find a decent place, and if it ticks the boxes, stick with it. Bobby's ticks several. It's easy to get to, being right on the main road and near Chambers St, Forrest Road, and George IV Bridge. It's also reasonably priced, and has a good variety of food stuffs to pick from, with bagels, toasted sandwiches, normal, not toasted sandwiches, and soup, all tastily filled and flavoured. The staff are super nice too, which always makes me more enthusiastic about handing my money over several times a week. read more

Bobby's Sandwich Bar provide good soup, a great selection of filled baguettes/rolls and a decent bacon roll at reasonable prices. Popular with those who work in the area you want to get in early to guarantee you get some soup and they once ran out of baguettes (hot BLT in a largish roll sufficed). The staff are friendly and happy to make things up for you, and there is always an interesting selection of music playing in the background while you queue or wait. All in all a great place to get your soup and sandwich. read more

Bobby's Sandwich Bar is a vibrant, zesty wee cafe nestled near to our wee friend Greyfriar's Bobby. As the ladies have outlined, it's open till mid afternoon, so it's not one to amble into at the back of 4 for a pre dinner snack. But if you can shake off the covers early (or are forced to due to work commitments), they make a mean breakfast. Aside from selling a decent selection of teas, coffee, panini's and cake, their soup of the day is cheap and very tasty. As Lynsey said, you can go all out and treat yourself to some greasy spoon (the healthy soup cancels out the fatty fry, honest), and still find you spend little over a fiver. For the bright eyed and bushy tailed, Bobby's does the job. It's a thriving wee business that is no doubt the first stop for many office workers and students in the area. read more

Bobby's have introduced a delicious and popular roast chicken +peanut butter +sweet chilli ciabatta roll. The last one today has just gone as I type this, but you can get one if you are early tomorrow. Don't fight and elbow fellow customers please. read more

Still tops the lunch list when working in Edinburgh. I never tire of their lentil soup for lunch. #yelpreboot

So i was on my way to the national museum and though that some lunch would be in order, but i didn't want to make a big deal out of it. I stepped into this place and fall in love. It's super small and is run by the single owner which is nice and patient even when there is a queue. I had a cup of homemade lentils soup and a vegetarian Haggis. I didn't like the Haggis at all, but it was sure nice to try a vegetarian version, as it was my first time in Scottland. I paid about 5 Pound for both, so overall it was a great deal. The place has free wifi, just ask for the password. read more

Fantastic little shoppe. Basic but delicious. The guys who runs the place is a gem. We ate here almost everyday for a month. Couldn't get enough. Was great to sit in have a cuppa and some soup and a sandwich with my girl and watch the tourist go by. If you wanna great picnic stop here and stick up. Won't be disappointed read more

This place has become my favorite sandwich shop in Edinburgh. Its fast, cheap, and delicious. Great place to get a quick sandwich for lunch. I recommend the brie, bacon, and cranberry. read more

I hadnt been here before a rushed lunch lead me past all my usual haunts and landed me smack bang at the back of the queue. It's pretty damn good, but I have to say that It seems as though it has a pretty average selection of sandwich fillings. Theres nothing that really jumps out at you from the menu board - but its not like theres nothing that wont get your mouth watering. The fillings are usually pretty huge, and theres a nice selection of breads too. I think this place does breakfast and soups too, as well as cakes etc. Overall, its pretty cheap, which is always nice too :) read more

I had some awesome lentil soup in here today so I just had to tell everyone on Yelp about it! I didn't plan on going here for my lunch but I had to rush home, and the orangy walls of Bobby's were inviting me in. The queue was rather sizable, but the service was really fast, and by the time I got to the front of the queue the waft of soup had really taken me in. It was a hot day, but it really smelt amazing! That along with a bottle of Irn Bru to balance out the hotness and I was good to go. The soup was thick and full of lumpy bits of veg and loads of lentils, which I absolutely love. I had a crusty roll with it too which tasted as though it had just been baked, delicious. It was very inexpensive too and I had change from £3, bargain. read more

Nice soup here, their Thai Green Chicken is hot n' spicy and just the right side of nippy on the tongue. Good selection of sandwich rolls and fillings too, made to order. They have a selection of ready made ones too, which often feature combinations which are a little bit different. Handy for Greyfriar's Kirk, which on a good day is a nice place to relax and have your lunch outdoors. read more

Beautiful sandwiches and very well priced. Much better option than our usual something generic option from M&S! Prefilled rolls and baguettes of different combinations to the usual or choose your own. The coffee was also spot on, from a local roasting company. Well worth the 2 mins stroll out of grassmarket - you will not regret it. I think we will be amending our plans to pass by tomorrow now :-) read more

The bar is sandwiched between a couple of souvenir shops, so that you can easily give it a miss. It does have a very friendly stuff, there is some hippy air about it - their menu is not very rich, yet, everything they offer as hot meals seems to be home cooked and very very delicious. I love the soups and one of my favourite sandwich is plain bacon roll. They didn't have it the last two times I visited the shop, so I kind of gave up on going there. read more

This is a great sandwich place right on Forrest Rd. near the University of Edinburgh library and the National Library of Scotland. The staff is super friendly and the food is great. My favorite is the pate and cranberry sauce, and the brewed coffee there is the best in the city in my opinion. You'll pay a little more than you would at one of those baguette chains, but the quality is way better at Bobby's. The bread they use is fantastic too. read more
