“Extremely kind staff and good sandwiches.I will definitely go again to just say hello.I strongly recommend their french baguettes with eggs and salmon”
- Jessica Southworth
“They should be ashamed of the amount of smoked salmon they gave me on my £4.25 bagel. Certainly not an "uptown" experience.”
- Melissa Watson

“Had some chicken and pumpkin soup and its by far the best soup I've ever tasted highly recommend this sandwich bar ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
- Shaun Dabare
“A little Sandwich Bar near the Medieval Centre of Leicester, and not far off the centre of Modern Leicester City. I had the Chilli Chicken Pasta for £3.65. It was hot and quite tasty with a little kick - perfect for a chilly afternoon in Leicester. It's not a massive portion, but very reasonable for its price. It was quite cozy on the little bar, and the lady at the till was very friendly and hospitable.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return above all for the staff, described repeatedly as friendly, kind and lovely, with one diner saying they brightened every morning of a stay and another planning to return just to say hello. Food comes close behind. Diners single out the french baguette with eggs and salmon, a turkey Christmas baguette, jacket potatoes, and chicken and pumpkin soup, while others mention a chilli chicken pasta with a little kick, good tea and good coffee. Prices are called reasonable, and one reviewer notes vegan, veggie and gluten free options. The caveats centre on the breakfast counter: one reviewer found bacon dried out from sitting on the hot counter and sausages anemic-looking with little snap, and another felt the smoked salmon on a bagel was far too little. The same sausage critic still praised the eggs, poached or fried to order, and the real HP sauce, and said they will go back.
