  “Incredible breakfast sandwiches. Staff do need coaching through the orders. If you man mark them, stay firm, you'll reap the rewards. It is a little bit like winning 2-0 against Galatasaray away. Tough going, but after FT, there is nothing quite like it.”

  “My 2 stars is for the food and the 1 or 2 people that are nice. But the rest of the staff. Come on, if you hate your job don’t do it. They are so grumpy I walk in and I get looked at and I am asked ‘yes’. Customer service is shocking we go back because the food is good. The manager is nice and there is 2 people that are nice. The rest just don’t like the public I have never ever seen them smile or says good morning or good afternoon. It’s just ‘Yes’ literally.”

  “My favourite place to get lunch! Feels like everything is freshly prepared and with quality ingredients. Staff are always very lovely, just hate the lunch rush but it makes sense for such a good sandwich place. Most people go for their salads but the toasted sandwiches and homemade soup is high standard and fairly affordable. For anyone going for their first time, it’s really not difficult to ask where you pay while you’re waiting for your food and yes there could be more signage but I don’t think it calls for a bad review, it’s not that stressful, coming from someone who is extremely anxious and usually overwhelmed in any public place.”

  “I had a very uncomfortable experience at the salad counter today. The woman serving me (the first one from the left) kept whispering with the woman next to her (wearing a hijab) throughout the entire process. She was ignoring me at first, and even while preparing my salad, she continued whispering behind her hand. It made me feel unwelcome and disrespected. I've always had great experiences at the sandwich station, so it's disappointing to see toxic behavior like this at the salad counter. I won't remove this comment until the issue is addressed.”

  “I have visited this place like a hundred times when I was working nearby for over a year. I'm a Indian & vegetarian - so lentil soup and bread was comforting filling. I tried salad one day and it was amazing that shifted to that everyday. People may feel cold 1 or 2 but rest are warm. Billing ladies specially. I have moved back home from UK and miss this place and the salad everyday. Love this place, I may visit UK just for their salad if I can.. thanks for a lasting impression”

  “Had a lovely lunch here today with my colleague, while working off-site. The chicken and pasta salad was fresh and the portions are very big (I only managed half!). A special thank you to the lady who helped us; she provided excellent service. Great spot for a work lunch!”

  “Very tasty sarnies, not too bad pricewise. Service was a little odd, but workers somewhat friendly. Small queues but worth the wait”

  “So many options. BIG sandwiches, mix your own salads, and soups. I had the special today which was a hot beef, mushroom and cheddar toasted sandwich and it was delicious. Choose what you want from the counter and they give you a ticket to take to the till and pay. Once you’ve paid you get a stamp on your ticket and you hand that in when they call your order. Can get very very busy at lunchtime, so go a little earlier (11.30 ish) if you want to get served quickly.”

  “Great sandwich shop near Canon street station. Always busy! I had a special sandwich which was a bbq chicken and mushroom sandwich and it was very tasty. The salad bowls there do look excellent. Service was fast and they do expect you to know your order by the time you get to the front. Would recommend this place. And I’m interested in trying some other food from there in the future.”

  “The choice of sandwiches is excellent. Lunch time is rather chaotic - there are three different counters and one long queue out the door. When you get to the front, someone catches your eye and you step forward and order. It’s loud and overwhelming but the food is worth it. Otherwise just go for breakfast where you can get a full English sandwich with no queue at all.”
