    The fried chicken sandwich with mango salsa
    Veronica V.

    We popped in for a sandwich on the way home. The hubby had their grilled cheese with roast beef. He said it was good, but he would have preferred more cheese, less beef. I had their fried chicken special with mango salsa. It was very awkward to eat ( the salsa was in very large chunks), but wow, the flavours were really excellent.

    BEST SPECIALTY SANDWICHES! About $15/sandwich This is my 3rd time here, so I had to write a review. We usually get whatever is featured on their menu sign, and today it was: Singaporean Style Crispy Chicken: Strong coconut flavour, with a refreshing cucumber slaw and chili sauce for the perfect punch. I loved the crunchy peanuts inside and big juicy piece of chicken. Very unique and lovely flavour combination. Grilled Cheese du Jour (their daily grilled cheese): today was pesto artichoke with Havarti and roma tomatoes. Perfectly pressed on the panini, every bite had a good portion and mix of cheese and artichoke. Just super gooey and delicious especially hot off the panini grill. The ginger ale was also super good, very ginger-y for sure (if you're into that) It does get super stuffy inside, there's a few bar seats by the window but the circulation is pretty bad with an open kitchen. We usually sit outside (there's 3-4 tables, with a large umbrella overtop). Great in the summers or if you're grabbing takeout. I'd recommend eating it right away though! Also, super super friendly staff, they give good recommendations, and are very nice. Pretty quick serving too. Nothing fancy, just a good solid little shop that does what they do very well. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

    Lamb grilled cheese was awesome, chicken chowder was good but not thick enough. Two gentleman working were awesome! Cool spot tiny limited seating and intimate exactly what you want when you're exploring alone!

    Craving a sandwich with quality, fresh ingredients? 100% Deliciousness awaits you right here. In-house, bread baked daily is really the initial catalyst for your flavour experience. I've had the Rueben and the Spicy Lemon Rosemary Chicken, looking forward to their Breakfast Sandwich next. Staff are friendly and willing to answer questions, despite moving at a literally break neck speed to produce these handhelds. There has always been a line up but it moves fast. Its also heckin hot in there on warm days, so mill about outside whilst you wait for your order.

    Here in Vancouver for a work trip, and stopped for a late lunch. Located at 1308 Burrard St in Davie Village, this is a small, fast-casual local gem. Sandwiches, salads, and pastry are house-made with a focus on nearby farms and suppliers. Specials are listed on a board outside the door, so take a look before you go in. We were too late for the (what sounded fantastic) grilled cheese daily special, but all other specials and daily soup were available. The friendly staff obliged and offered menu guidance. As we waited for our meal, passers-by waved through the window and another patron shared "current" favorite is the falafel sandwich or the grilled veggie sando. In previous years, the Rueben and lemon chicken. And taste a bit of history: the dough "culture", from which sandwich bread and calzone dough is made, has been nurtured and fed for over 10 years, and when you bite into that sandwich (or calzone), you can taste the love that has sustained this place for years. The lemon rosemary roasted chicken is a signature item, but with our excellent meal experience, I'd say get whatever sounds good. I asked some patrons - self-reported frequenters. Plan for takeout or come at an "off" time to enjoy the limited seating inside and a few sidewalk tables. We tried the corn chowder, lemon rosemary chicken salad, side of macaroni and cheese, and the meatball sandwich. All were terrific!

    Reuben sandwich with pickle
    Stephen H.

    Today was my second visit here; the first being about three years ago. They have expanded their menu and you can go to their Instagram page to see a picture of their specials board every day. I didn't get the special, though it sounded amazing; I got the Reuben sandwich. The bread is made there and the food is incredible. Was there just before noon and there were quite a few people coming in for lunch. Still quick service though. i'm really glad these folks made it through the pandemic and look to be going strong.

    The owner tells me they make their own bread, pickles, mustard basically everything from scratch! I came in here because it was the most Yelped place in Vancouver and wanted to try it out after walking by without knowing about it all these years. This is a cute little space with a counter and a few bistro tables outside. As most of the restaurant is the kitchen, that is what takes up most of the space. I came here for the Rueben and it was amazing.

    After having heard from my boss that this small shop just front of Maxine's on Burrard makes the best sandwich, I didn't hesitate to try it today. There were three nice guys working and a guy asked what do I want. " I said what's the best seller here? He said the spicy lemon rosemary chicken. " And yes, it didn't disappointed me... I loved it and perhaps come again soon to try other stuff.

    Not sure if it's because I'm American but the workers are friendly, helpful, and the food has good flavors! Good place to get a quick, casual bite

    What makes a sub/sandwich perfect ? Based on my little foodie experience I believe the key to a great ( not just good) sandwich is the bread : it should not be a brioche bun neither a french baguette , it got to be a mix of both, something in between the two kinds. This little lovely shop got the perfect solution for such an equation : one of the best sandwich bread I have ever tried in Canada ! Also it goes without saying that the rest of the ingredients are amazingly fresh and tasty with a mix of flavorful sauces and melted cheese. I am now regretting only trying the beef dip ( Friday's special) as I should have got at least the chicken one as well. Oh yeah and they make their own pastries! i got the Cookie & Cream and obviously expected average experience from a pastry baked in a sandwich shop, but guess what : it was epic !! Probably better than most pastry shops around town!! Unfortunately since COVID they removed pizza option from menu to handle the costs! Forgot to mention that the owner ( who is also the sandwiche's chef) is a great welcoming man . Long story short this place is bomb! Definetely coming back

    BLT with aioli

    I'm visiting Vancouver, from California. This was THE BEST BLT I've ever had. The bread was so soft and delicious. I added aioli to it too. THE BEST!

    Over 80 reviews and 5 star rating? I had to check it out. And then I ended up going 3 times last week and twice this week. This is what I've tried so far (in the order from my most favourite to least favourite): - Spicy lemon rosemary chicken sandwich ($10.50): love the pickled jalapenos. - Reuben sandwich ($11): lots of meat piled high, comes with a super crunchy house-made pickle. - Roasted vegetable salad ($9.50): the olive tapenade spread is so good!! - Meatloaf sandwich ($11): meatloaf warmed up in a pan, otherwise nothing special in my opinion. Sauce is a bit salty. Large enough portion for me to split this into 2 meals. - Curry quinoa salad ($3): a nice snack, although I am not a fan of onions and peppers. - Fettuccine Alfredo with smoked meat (daily take-home feature) ($10): a pretty heavy meal, mostly consisted of pasta, not much smoked meat or tomatoes. On the plus side I had this for 3 separate meals. I now carry around their menu so that I can call ahead to place my order. Yes, I'm that addicted. It's also nice that they offer a stamp card - after your 10th stamp, your next sandwich is free. Most of their sandwiches can also be made into a salad, except for the reuben and meatloaf, which is a great alternative. But then I'd be missing out on the bread that's made fresh daily. I'd love to give them 5 stars but as I do think their food is a bit more on the pricey side, I'll have to settle for a 4. Service is always welcoming and friendly. I've noticed they know a lot of their regulars by name and order. Overall, I'd definitely recommend checking it out at least once. One day I'll try their daily feature sandwich!

    I think it was one of those Cherry Blossom Food Festivals that brought this place to my attention…read moreabout a year or two ago. Been wanting to try it for awhile and now I finally have. We ordered the following: Tiramisu Latte Caprese Bite London Fog Apple Cookie Cherry Matcha Tonic Tiramisu Sea Salt Caramel Gelato The Cherry Matcha Tonic was pretty but wasn't too crazy about the flavor. I should have just gone with my original gut instinct and chosen a hot beverage like Hojicha Latte or something like that. I was sort of thirsting for something cooler for a change though, and the Cherry Matcha Tonic was the first "cool" drink that caught my eye so I decided to go for it. Won't do that again. Everything else was good though. The Sea Salt Caramel Gelato was the star of the show! In the store there's a sign beneath their gelato section that says "Canadian Gelato Champion". I believe it after tasting the Sea Salt Caramel! They had Nama Chocolates too. I was tempted to get some but...only so much a person's wallet and waistline can handle at one time. Will try the Nama Chocolate some other time. You can order in person here, or you can place an "Express" order at the Kiosk. We tried both ways of ordering. Ordered at the counter first and then after finished my Cherry Matcha Tonic decided I wanted to try the Sea Salt Gelato so then tried ordering that from the Kiosk. Most of the parking in this area is paid but I lucked out and got a free spot right around the corner from this place!

    Wow, a new cafe in the neighbourhood. This coffee shop caught my attention for its beautiful…read moreaesthetic and it's even open till 10pm. I could tell even from outside that it's a popular work and study type of coffee shop with your free wifi and outlets. I hope this post doesn't give it away and make it way too crowded for me to find a seat next time. There's a steady flow of people visiting the stores while I was there on a weekday between late afternoon and early evening but there's always extra seat for anyone new looking for a desk to work or chat with friends. A few could be better are the pricing and temperature. They offer free oat milk substitute and -$0.35 for bringing your own cup but no more employee discount. And it was so cold in there, I could see a lot of people kept their winter jackets on, I don't think it's a heating issue but the constant windy seems to suggest the AC is on rather than the heater, oh wells Im out of there now. For that reason, unless I'm bundled up, it'll be a hard sale to be back again! I got a hojicha latte and it as pretty good, perfect sweetness and temperature for my cold with no ice. The barista was super great to work with.
