Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the friendly staff and the breakfast, with the bacon singled out as the best in Leeds by one regular of local sandwich shops. Workers in the area describe going back repeatedly for breakfast sandwiches, baps, salad boxes and a full breakfast with a cup of tea, and several mention clean surroundings, including a seating area tucked behind the shop. One reviewer says staff made them dinner late while cleaning before Christmas. The caveats are mostly about attitude and cost. Two reviewers describe the owner as sour-faced or rude and focused on money, and one says they only visit on days she is out. Another reports rising prices and smaller sandwiches, and a one-star review complains that an order arrived with no mushrooms. Several still praise the other staff for better banter and better breakfasts, and one visitor says the staff made dinner when they could have turned them away.
