Forget "sandwiches", this place makes sandwizes because the guy that runs this place is a wizard!…read moreHe knows his flavours, he knows his breads (which he collects at 4AM every morning), and him and his staff go above and beyond to look after the customer. We drove past this place one afternoon and the wife and I knew we had to eat here. We found street parking and made our way over. From the outside the red neon sign gave a very strong impression. Inside it was a little bit dull but that doesn't matter when you start to read the menu board. All the menu items suggest bold American flavours. Choose your filling, bread (sourdough or rye) and whether you want it fresh or toasted. I was worried about my sandwich being toast until I was told that they'd add the lettuce afterwards to prevent it from wilting. The food came out quick. My wife asked for soy milk in her coffee which they had run out of. However one of the staff went to the corner store, JUST FOR US, to buy a new carton. I was amazed by this. This truly was a selfless act and to me it defined what great customer service is. Our food came out quickly and tasted amazing. I ordered the hoagie sandwich. I know in The States a hoagie is this massive bread roll sandwich thing, but this being Australia they brought out a toasted sandwich which tasted just like a hoagie. Perfect down to the last bite. The staff are great company and extremely friendly. I want... nay, NEED to come back here to try some of the other sandwiches. A great place for a meal which isn't too heavy but will leave you thoroughly satisfied.

They get their rye delivered fresh daily so its ready to be sliced and paired with their tasty sauerkraut and layers of beefy pastrami goodness and smothered in their delicious Russian dressing.

Oh boy, thankfully I found this place from seeing a guy with a giant sandwich wrapped in foil while…read morehe was eating it in the executive club of our hotel across the street. This is a togo place only, and the line would have about 10 or more people in it at all times. Three people behind the counter took the orders that were not done online and made the food just as fast as they could. It takes about 10-15 minutes from getting in line to picking up, which is great if you were short on time as many of the local business people seemed to be. There is no signage from the street to find this place, but if you are lost, just ask anyone in the local businesses because that is what I did. They also have a daily specials board, and any sandwich can be made as a wrap, too. It was huge and delicious, and I would definitely go back again.

My final review from my Australia trip last year is for Lüneburger German Bakery. I believe that…read moreadventure begets adventure, so I think that my visit to this German bakery played a part in my decision this year to visit Germany. It was pouring rain in Sydney on a Saturday morning. Wanting to get brekkie, I left my hotel and manuevered through the rain to get over to the train station to go to Queen Victoria Building. I had walked by this bakery previously on another visit to QVB, so when I came across it on this morning I decided to opt to get some baked goods here rather than a sit down meal somewhere. Lüneburger offers a selection of fresh breads (loaves and rolls), pastries and sandwiches. Decided to order a salted pretzel ($3.50) and a marizpan cinnamon pastry ($4). After paying, I sat down at one of the tables in front of the bakery counter to munch on my purchases. The pretzel was soft and still warm. It was salty, but not extremely so to make you scour for some water. The only thing that would have made the pretzel better is if it had some sort of dipping sauce like mustard. Looking forward to trying the pretzels in Munich to see how they compare to the one here. As for the marzipan cinnamon pastry, it also was still slightly warm which was a surprise. The pastry is made with croissant dough and filled with a sweet almond filling that was superb. I am looking forward to my visit to Germany. If the baked goods there are as good as the ones at Lüneburger, I will be satisfied.

We came in thinking it was just a coffee shop, but it's essentially a restaurant that also has a focus on coffee. They have a full bar and a window to the outside where you can order just coffee and tea to go. As for the interior it's dimly lit and sort of has romantic date night vibes. We essentially only ordered coffee and one person ordered a cake slice. The lychee cake was pretty good per my aunt. A couple people ordered the Coco Loco, which is basically an espresso martini on steroids with Nutella and something like a Ferrero Rocher. I ordered a latte and their Affogato. The latte was very smooth and BI is arguably one of the best I've ever had. Is the Affogato a cheat code because they use like a tiramisu ice cream? You could argue that case. You can also buy their blends of coffee beans, subject to availability. While the latte was very smooth, I can't say it was mind blowing but it was still pretty good.

I also reserve 4 and 5 star reviews for exceptional service with unforgettable dining experiences. The ambience is intimate but also noisy. I will say the coffee here and in Australia in general is some of the best coffee I've ever had. I ordered (2) espresso martinis, pancakes, and the sirloin steak breakfast with a side hashbrown. My pancakes were stone cold but I will say the aesthetics on it made it edible. The pistachio butter cream was to die for. My steak was ok ; for the price I simply just wanted more. I could be wrong but I doubt it was even 6oz. If you have this place on your radar be sure to make reservations. This goes for almost every restaurant in Sydney. My server was Cassie who was very personable and even gave us tips on what to watch out for dining in Sydney.

Sandwiches, sandwiches, SANDWICHES!!!…read more Like Joey from Friends, I love me some sandwiches. I believe this place opened less than a month ago, and I noticed it when I went to Single Origin one day and made a note to check it out. As its namesake states, this place is a simple sandwich shop. The interior is cozy, the people friendly, and the music sets the mood. Me gusta. The place is clean, straight to the point with natural and fresh ingredients, affordable (under $10!) and tasty to boot. They don't do sides except for the bread they serve during breakfast, and they also have salads if you don't want to have a sandwich. Let's be real here though, why would you go to The Sandwich Shop and not order a sandwich? Depending on the sandwich, you get to choose what kind of bread you'd like as well between rye, sourdough, and whole wheat. The sandwiches on tap are: Chicken Schnitzel The Sandwich Club Rare Roast Beef Tuna + White Bean Smoked Salmon Bagel The Original New York Reuben Pulled Pork The Ultimate Salad Sandwich You can also create your own sambo if you like. My friend and I ordered the Rare Roast Beef and The Original New York Reuben. If you like cheese, you will like the Rare Roast Beef. The Fontina Cheese used to top this was massive and flavourful. The roast beef could have been a bit more rare for my taste but it was still very good nonetheless. The Reuben...the reuben was great. I wouldn't call it the Original New York Reuben but that's not a bad thing. The Reuben served here was very high quality, as the beef is a thicker and juicier slice than you'd get with a New York Reuben. The cheese, sauerkraut and dressing were great as well. Definitely the best "Reuben" I've had in Sydney so far. If you like sandwiches you can't go wrong here. I'll have to come back to try the others.
