To say quality dining options are limited in Canary Wharf would be a gross understatement…read more Thankfully, this delicious carvery stand was not far from my office. Obviously quite popular with the locals, since the lines can be quite long at lunch. Salt Beef Hash: In the States we'd call this corned beef hash on an English muffin. It was a hearty yet-not-too-huge breakfast sandwich option. Like their delicious salt beef for lunch, just chopped up and mixed with potatoes. A great way to use up leftovers. Sausage & Egg: A whole lot of sausage! The tubular kind, cut length wise and topped with a fried egg. Way better than what McDonald's is slinging. Bacon: Lots of it, but not very crispy. From an American perspective, this tasted more like salty smoky ham. Not really my thing. Salt Beef: The crown jewel! I'm pretty sure this is what we call corned beef back home. Generous chunks of this tender and savory meat, with just the right amount of pickles and sauerkraut to contrast the saltiness. Braised Beef: Basically stewed beef sliced up and put on bread. I especially like how they poured extra gravy over it. Probably the heartiest of the sandwiches I tried, which is saying something since none of them were light!

It's a lovely nice little store, and the display fridge is full of super eye appealing sandwiches! Man, that salmon cream cheese bagel man! Looked soo awesome! Coffee was decent but not the best I've had. It was a lot better than those chain competition coffee stores where you just need to push a button and some brown liquid comes out. Birley here they do tamper and do your proper coffee, but my initial experience was just only slightly above average. I was quite bummed they didn't give me a Birley cup today so I only had a plain cup to show.

I got the salmon wrap a couple times and felt it was both filling and totally delicious. It was the best lunch option around our office (across from Lloyd's). The staff were soft spoken - they take a while but hey, what's the rush when you're getting a nice takeout meal? My understanding is - do NOT ever get the soup here. It apparently takes forever and it's a microwaved mess. Other than that, nothing bad to speak of.

I say quaint because of…read moreit's small size, it doesn't really possess a clear and obvious 'quaintness' once you get inside. A cute blackboard give you the special of the day so that you might know what you're going to get before you go in, which is actually quite handy considering if you do go in and you're split on your choice of sandwich, you normally get hassled, feel uncomfortable and rush your choice, making you unhappy later on! Or maybe I overthink it. Who knows. The bread definitely could be alot better though the chicken and sweetcorn filling is thick and chewy in all the right places. You can get cups of your favourite caffeine medium as well. A place that does average, well.

I've come back to visit London several times since then (most recently in September) and its amazing how all the shops have changed on this block but this sandwich shop still remains! I am sooo glad it's still here! Seriously the best sandwiches, hot dishes such as Samosas- still cheap and fast service! Love that the locals come here everyday and know they can get the best sandwich or hot food from here! I'm obsessed with their simple bacon and egg sandwich (all comes on a baguette) I get it with no sauce of any kind. My second choice- chicken with corn. Simple yet so tasty. No need a million toppings-

This is the best sandwich shop in the world and I look down on anyone that disagrees. Just kidding…read more The sandwiches and employees here are pretty amazing though- as are the prices! I came here 9 years ago when I was a student and vowed to come back to try more tasty treats. I did just that and brought my husband this time! We ordered: -Tandoori sandwich (hot) -Peri Peri Chicken sandwich (hot) Both were so delicious, huge, and under 3 pounds (which is unbelievable)! I would say peri peri chicken was the tastiest. The flavor was on point and had a good kick of spice. If you want to save money and are in the area-maybe to go visit the V&A or another museum, come grab a quick meal to go here first and then have a picnic!

This waffle place looks pretty tempting with fresh waffles being made on the waffle makers in front of you, and the displays of chicken + waffles, waffles + berries, and a few other interesting looking combinations. The waffles and toppings were fine, but you can get similar elsewhere, so unless you're a huge waffle fiend or you're craving waffles, I'd get something more unique that's harder to find in most places. The waffle we got was fresh and slightly crisp on the outside and a little chewy inside, and it was fresh. The berries and the chocolate sauce and honey on top were good, and the greek yogurt was a nice alternative to whipped cream. It was good but not amazing and it was little on the expensive side. If you have a waffle iron at home and berries at home, you can probably make something similar at home. Get a flavor that you can't recreate at home or skip this altogether and get something else at Maltby Market.

True masters of their craft, each element of the dish was absolute perfection, the waffle was just right, slightly chewy with just enough crust. The bacon- glorious American style bacon, smokey and peppery. Real maple syrup drizzled over the top and the biodynamic egg, a simple fried egg, but done amazingly to top off the dish. With a menu full of inventive waffles with ingredients like duck, figs, and goats cheese- I can't wait to try another fantastic waffle creation!

They're certainly large and unusual in shape so they've got that going for them but the taste is inferior to any sandwich you might get for less than half the price at somewhere like M&S.

Dear Earl, Just…read moreremember who had you first. I'm forever sorry that Mr. C melted away your Yelp virginity after what we had together. (If you'll remember, it was a steamy panini on ciabatta smothered in tomatoes, mozzarella and basil.) Sure I had to pay you, but ladies have needs too. And it's reassuring to know that for £3.40 I can be both completely satisfied and yearning for more, truly, your science is blinding. Overall, it was hot and I'm pretty sure we equally enjoyed the transACTION. I know I did... twice. (wink)

My mom and I stumbled upon EAT. while walking down the street checking out all the various stores and restaurants they have lined up along the busy sidewalks. It's located across the street from a Starbucks (they have clean bathrooms, since EAT. does not have customer bathrooms), and there is a small, touristy gift store right next door to Starbucks. I ended up ordering a tomato basil melt, and it was soooo good, and very filling. There was a lot of walking to be done, and the nutritious, melty goodness left me feeling satiated for a good, long while. Plus, it keeps for quite a while. I saved the other half in my bag for later, and it still tasted as good as when I first ordered it. The store is small, but the have a couple of seats at a counter. Although on a busy day, I'm sure finding a place to sit would be difficult. Overall, I would say it was an excellent experience. It was one of my favorite places to eat at in London. I wish we had one here in California. :-(
