After a dispute with their landlords, Sauce Nouvelle on Bainbridge Island is no more. A huge loss to the community, since they have some of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. Look for them in Poulsbo and a new shop opening in Fremont. Good bye, Sauce Nouvelle, we will miss you. read more

What a lovely spot! I was craving sandwiches while walking around so stopped by. They have QR code ordering which is super convenient; no need to wait in line. I ordered the peach chicken sandwich which took ~15 minutes. I sat outside in the shared courtyard. The space is kept pretty clean which was nice. The sandwich itself was super flavorful. The menu pictures do not do them justice. It was juicy, the bread was hot and toasted, I loved it. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough slaw/veggies to break up the richness. Overall, I really liked this place! I would come back to try their other sandwiches, they all sound so interesting and delicious. But more slaw pls! read more

Look, the easiest way to say this is you must try this place. The geniuses behind the sandwiches, the flavors, and all the different pairings is simply an orgasm in your mouth. I say that because we originally were going to only have one sandwich, which was the pork belly sandwich and head down the street to try a different restaurant for fish and chips. After we had that first sandwich we were like yeah no we're staying here and getting a second sandwich so that we can try another burst of flavor. The individuals creating the sandwiches and taking our orders were the owners of the shop. Both people were super friendly, answered any questions that we had regarding the sandwiches, and we actually bonded over the fact that one of them was a California native. The shop itself is super chill and laid back. There is seating inside on countertops and there's even outdoor seating if you want to enjoy the Sun. I would suggest sitting inside because you get more of a chance to talk with the owner and his fabulous co-partner. Again, you must try this place it is so so so good read more

Stop. Just stop what you're doing, put it away for later, and go get a sandwich here, because whatever you're doing isn't nearly as important as trying this place. Proof? The Corn Relish Corn Beef (pictured below). Whoever created this had the perfect idea of what a corned beef sandwich should be (again, see the proof). I normally don't like being punched in the mouth, but when with flavor this good, I'll take it any day. And a huge shoutout to Brandon who asked if he was pronouncing my name right, so he'd "make sure it was correct for next time." Thanks, my dude! read more

Sandwiches here are excellent and perfect for a picnic in Bainbridge. It's a small little spot (so only takeout) but there's seating in the little plaza area. Service is really friendly and they make the sandwiches fairly quick. I got their chicken sandwich with a peach bbq sauce and mixed greens. It was delicious and one of the highlights of our Bainbridge picnic day! Our sandwich came with a small side of coleslaw which was also very tasty! Highly recommend this spot! read more

They have a ton of really cool combinations of sandwiches! I got the Peach roasted Spiced Chicken and unfortunately I wasn't huge on the taste, but my friend liked it and I ate her corn relish corn beef sandwich which was better but I wish I would have went with a more traditional sandwich. Worth the try though!! read more

We had lunch here on our trip to Bainbridge Island. I tried the short rib sandwich and my friend had the pork. The bread was phenomenal and the sandwich was very saucey which I liked a lot. I'm unsure about the case of the pork sandwich, but as far as the short rib went I thought the pieces were extremely thin and there was a hint of sweetness that didn't balance out the sandwich very well. Considering the options on the island I would say this is a good fast food choice, but for a more sit down experience there were a lot of other places that may be worth a try. read more

Ordered a chicken sandwich and they gave me something that looked totally different and pretended they didn't... Reply to owner's comments: hi, then why don't you say that on the menu. Also the picture on the iPad (part of the behavioral science experiment?) is totally different from the actual sandwich...why? Lastly, around 2 billion people don't eat pork. I do but the entire time I was still thinking that the chicken sandwich was pork. Is that the experience you want to give to a quarter of all humans? read more

I had a beef with cherry sauce sandwich and a chocolate caramel cookie and both were delicious. The place your own order station was confusing to some older patrons who blocked the screens for 3-5 minutes but weren't actually ordering, it created a line of about 5 people. The shop is hot, kudos to the guys working in there, they were moving fast and getting things out as quickly as they could and it was sweltering hot & humid in there. read more

Amazing sandwiches and coleslaw. Fresh, flavorful. The breads are perfect. Must try.

Thanks Yelpers as you gave a great recommendation; I'm joining the chorus of praise. They have a very limited menu and they had run out of 2 sandwiches. Nevertheless, the corned beef sandwich, veggie sandwich, soup and salad were perfection! I don't even like sandwiches. Plus the owner was really nice guy. Order online to save time. There was 4 or so bar seats. Enjoy! I'll be back. read more

I'm so glad I stopped here on my recent Bainbridge trip, their sandwiches were some of the best I've ever had! My boyfriend and I got the vegetarian sandwich and the peach spiced chicken sandwich to share. It took around 10 minutes to get them. They have few tables outside, where we sat while devouring our sandwiches. The bread was warm and fresh. Both sauces were so flavorful. The chicken sandwich had a good hint of cinnamon! I will definitely be back next time I'm on the island! read more

the herb turkey blt and the sandwich with pork and thai plum sauce (i don't remember the name of it) were insanely delicious! the bread they come on is so fresh, and the guy that was working was very nice and made sure to check that we enjoyed our food. the seating area is very peaceful too. 10/10 will be back here whenever i'm on bainbridge island! read more

Because of the ferry two hour backup in Edmonds, I ended up crossing the sound via Seattle to Bainbridge Island instead. I wanted to try something different for my first meal of the day. Thankfully, the helpful Yelp app came up with Sauce Nouvelle (9/13/23). I showed up shortly after opening and received a friendly, upbeat greeting. After glancing at the menu, I couldn't decide between the Mint Proscuitto sandwich or the Corn Relish Corned Beef sandwich ($16); with tax & tip around $20. The counter person highly recommended the latter, so I went with that. I appreciated that the takeout packaging, fork, and napkins were all compostable. There's onsite counter seating, but I chose to sit in the shared courtyard area. I enjoyed the freshness, unique flavor and texture, sure woke up my palate! Tender, succulent corned beef with mangosteen mango chutney, romaine, white cheddar, sumac aioli on a ciabatta roll. Very generous sandwich and corn relish slaw side. This isn't a generic deli style sandwich shop. There's also some salads, daily soup selection, cookies, and even espresso on the menu. This review is brought to you by the letter F, for Freshness and Flavor! Great find, thanks fellow Yelpers! read more

We stopped in here for a little bit of lunch. The menu is quite limited. I don't eat gluten or dairy and when I realized that there was only one item on the menu I could eat (with a modification) I wasn't so sure how I would like it. The gentleman behind the counter (biochem major?) was very personable and attentive. The food was prepared very quickly. Seating is also quite limited and I imagine they do mostly take out. Anyway as it turns out the Kale salad with white beans and bearberry dressing was excellent. My friend ordered the onion soup which seemed a little oily but she enjoyed it. My other friend ordered a sandwich and she enjoyed that. Definitely recommend this spot for a delicious quick bite. read more

This place never disappoints! The food is incredible, the service is top-notch, and the sandwiches are out of this world!

$60 for two sub-par sandwiches, drinks and chips. I really wanted to love this place, as Bainbridge is short on good sandwiches. I love creative recipes but they need to taste good, not just be 'extra' for no reason. This is the Yoko Ono of sandwich joints. read more

Wow! My vegan sandwich of the day was so delicious! If Sauce Nouvelle was open later I seriously would have come back and ordered it again!! I have a severe dairy allergy and it is very difficult for me to eat out. Nicholas made me feel very comfortable that he would ensure no cross-contamination. My friend had the corn relish corn beef sandwich and she loved hers as well. Thank you, Nicholas, for such a wonderful meal! read more

A Cherry-on-Top Sandwich Dream at Sauce Nouvelle! Bainbridge Island, WA If you find yourself on Bainbridge Island and don't go to Sauce Nouvelle, I'm genuinely concerned for your taste buds. This little sandwich sanctuary is crafting gourmet handheld miracles--and the Rainier Cherry Ribeye Beef sandwich? Oh. My. Flavor. Let's break it down: Tender, juicy ribeye (like, close-your-eyes-and-moan good) paired with the subtle sweet zing of Rainier cherries, as if your sandwich took a scenic ferry ride through flavor country. Add in garlic aioli that slaps in the best possible way, pickled red onions with just enough sass, and a handful of peppery arugula for balance--and you've got a love letter to your mouth. Oh, and it's all hugged lovingly by a perfectly crusty-on-the-outside, pillowy-on-the-inside ciabatta roll. This isn't a sandwich. It's an edible mic drop. The staff? Chill and charming, like if Wes Anderson directed a deli. The vibe? Rustic meets artsy with just enough quirk to feel cool without trying too hard. Final verdict? 11/10. Would swim to Bainbridge if the ferry broke down. This sandwich deserves its own lighthouse. Go. Order the Rainier Cherry Ribeye. Tell them your taste buds sent you. read more

A small restaurant with big flavorful sandwiches. It's located at the back of a two story mall on Main Street across the street from the Town and Country grocery store. Seating is outdoors in the mall with additional seating a little south a few doors down. it's a limited selection of sandwiches and salads that changes seasonally. All of them are flavorful and delicious!! I enjoyed the Smoked Guava Salmon sandwich, it was a beautiful filet of salmon, cooked perfectly. The staff were friendly and helpful. You order at a kiosk and have a short wait, sandwiches come with your choice of fries or coleslaw. They offered two salads, a Watermelon Arugula salad or a Pear Cauliflower Salad. Enjoy! read more

Hey, maybe making your employees work in an enclosed building without air conditioning during a heat wave isn't the best idea. If it's 85 degrees outside can you imagine how hot it is inside by the grills?? We couldn't stay inside for more than 3 minutes without sweating. Be nice to your employees. I should not see sweat dripping down them. Costco sells an air conditioner for $300. read more

This review is long overdue. Every time we eat here, whether we order a sandwich or salad, we are freshly reminded of how uniquely delicious (and consistently so) everything here is. The flavor profiles are like nothing we've had elsewhere and it's just always, always, always so good. The chef/owner & staff are also so nice and clearly passionate about quality food. Great option to go & also for a quick lunch if you plan to eat in (very casual). The menu rotates seasonally fyi and we have always enjoyed everything we've ordered. read more

The staff was very friendly and able to answer all of my questions. While it isn't on the menu, they offer a gluten free bread for their sandwiches. They do prepare it using the same utensils and space, which they were upfront about. read more

Amazing sandwiches, we had a group of four and all got different sandwiches and every single one was a 10/10.
