Quick info
About Annie’s Sandwich Bar
Breakfast anchors the counter at Annie’s Sandwich Bar, a café in Middlesbrough sitting near the SG Petch dealership. The kitchen cooks a full English to order, with a runny egg if you ask, and builds it up into the "belly buster", also called the "gut buster", a bigger plate that arrives with a free brew and toast left uncut on request. Bacon and egg butties come with thick-cut bacon, and can be ordered with sausage, hash brown and mustard added. A small seating area takes the overflow, and the team serves at the tables rather than calling numbers. No booking is taken, so customers walk in and order at the counter. A step-free entrance means visitors with mobility needs can get in without a kerb or stair. The café runs Monday to Friday during the daytime and stays closed at weekends.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return most for the full English breakfast and its bigger versions, with the belly buster and the gut buster singled out, one noting it comes with a free brew and another suggesting telling the staff not to cut the toast. Close behind is the bacon and egg butty, praised for thick cut bacon, and one reviewer calls the bacon, egg, sausage and hash brown sandwich with mustard the best they have had. A full English is described as cooked well with a runny egg. Staff are the other constant thread, called friendly, polite, helpful and lovely, with several saying they make sure everything is right and give a warm welcome. One reviewer says service stayed quick despite a busy room, and another rates the air in the seating area better than most breakfast places. A regular of several years says it beats everywhere else in Middlesbrough for price and portion. No complaints surface in the reviews. Several say they would recommend it, and one says they will definitely come back.
