Sandwich Bar in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Decent filling, but baguette was stale and staff attitude was the same. Had a seafood salad baguette for £11.50, which was made and then dumped on the counter! No thanks, enjoy or anything. If you don't want to work in the service industry, go and get a job elsewhere. Won't be going back.....

Really disappointed! Been going here for over a decade but unfortunately this occasion will be the last. Had 2 kings feast and a pork and apple in the French sticks, whilst the filling was okay, sadly the bread was at least a day out of date, very dry and chewy and completely ruined the taste. Didn’t go down well at all. Won’t be recommending anymore.

The only reason I’m giving one star on this review is because I cannot give zero! We live locally and have used the Sandwich bar, many many times over the years, in fact, we always tell friends to go there for a sandwich when they want one, however, this will never happen again! we visited on the 25th/7/2023 with her friends to get what we thought would be great sandwiches to take back to the beach, how long we were. One of the sandwiches ordered (nine) was advertised as a large crab sandwich, and loving the local crab, I ordered it along with three tuna sandwiches. When we got back to the beach and actually opened up the sandwiches for astonished and disgusted by the crab sandwich, and I think the photos speak for themselves! The sandwiches from the shop are triple sandwiches and the tuna sandwiches were okay with adequate filling in the fresh bread however the crab sandwich which was on white bread, when opened up on one side had crab paste! No, where was this advertised? The part of the sandwich would be a cheap crab paste and the other side of the sandwich had the smallest portion of crab imaginable. It just sat in a ball in the middle of the sandwich it wasn’t even filled! I was so disgusted with it that I actually just threw it straight in the bin and this sandwich cost £10. This is a total and utter rip-off of customers. Looking to have a tasty sandwich of apparent local court crab! There are other fresh sandwich bars in Looe particularly over West Lou on the Ring Drive where you will get amazing sandwiches, especially crab which are filled full and extremely tasty. You will see by the photos, the difference in size between the sandwiches of the tuna and the crab, and having always told our friends where to go to get a sandwich for over two decades we will never ever recommend this sandwich bar again. It needs to hang its head and shine through ripping off customers and misinforming them at the fact that the sandwich far from being large will have crab paste on one side, and not fresh crab. A loyal customer lost forever.

Burger was not fresh and just reheated, resembled a rustler instead of an actual cheeseburger. Inedible and waste of money.

Awful crab sandwich, stale bread roll and offered salad. We said yes and when I opened my roll it had 1 piece of cucumber and 1 piece of tomato. Avoid this sandwich shop, not worth £10 at all. The chippy on the quay was far better.

Visited here many times before for a crab Baggett. Sadly not great on this visit with small amount of filling. I found over £17 for two half Baggett's disappointing.

I lasted reviewed the sandwich bar six years ago and last visited four years ago……. And it’s still as good as ever!! The first thing my husband did when we got here was buy a sandwich from here, and our family have been back a few times since!! My son bought a double burger which was great value too- always lovely fresh bread and plenty of filling. No wonder there’s always a queue 😊

I just saw I reviewed this place 5 years ago and praised the crab baguette, and particularly the price. We returned this weekend. The crab baguette is still the business. A lot more expensive (was a ridiculously cheap £5.50, now a slightly more painful £8.50) but it remains a massive French stick packed with fresh crab, and delicious. Not sure you can top this on a sunny day in Looe.

We found this sandwich bar tucked down an alley while searching out a crab sandwich for our lunch. What a find, the friendly young man made the triple deck sandwiches in front of us. A layer of brown crab meat, white crab meat and we chose extra lettuce and cucumber on our choice of brown bread. We ate them on the coach travelling back to Essex and they were delicious😋. I would highly recommend.

Not sure why anyone would say the staff are rude? Anyhow we always find the young woman pleasant and friendly and as the place is always busy, there is generally an apology for the queue time. My boys this time loved the cheese burger. Generously filled in a large bap with cheese and fresh salad. £2.60 is a bargain! They also do pots of seafood much cheaper than other places on the harbour.

Outstanding sandwiches fresh and full of fillings and really reasonably priced Friendly staff and very helpful Not to be missed

Poor and rude service to begin with. The bread is cheap Co Op if sliced, baps mass produced frozen rubbish. I’m not too sure about the baguettes as they’d apparently run out?!?! Even though the staff were eating them lol, filling was ok.

We have had baps from here many times when staying in looe. This time we had two baps one cheese and one turkey and chicken with stuffing. Although good value the baps were very dry

Great little find, very reasonable, great food and friendly staff- The Best !!!!!! Make sure go early in busy summer school holiday times cos sell out of some food by afternoon- shows how good it is, everyone raves about the crab sarnies. Also, cup of tea is only 70p.

They do really nice sandwiches and baguettes. Whilst the service is somewhat slow, the quality of the finished product was truly scrumptious. Their crab baguettes are the best in town

Gigantic crab baguettes filled with white and brown meat for less than £6 Only reason not giving it full marks is the sliced bread is not quite as good quality Expect queues as everything made fresh to order - lovely friendly staff so don't get impatient whilst you wait

Best crab sandwich I have ever had . Was served by a very pleasant lovely young lady . Highly recommend will definitely be back

This place had been recommended to us and as it is snuck down just off the Main Street, blink and you miss it! Ordered a crab sandwich and bacon half baguette. Both freshly made as I waited. The crab was generous in size over 3...

As kids in the 90's and then early 2000s, we spent many summer holidays in Cornwall, staying at Millendreath. We would visit for 2 weeks every summer and once a week we would take the coastal walk from Millendreath to Looe (highly recommend). Upon arrival...

Had a lovely crab sandwich and proper cup of Yorkshire Tea! The young female whom runs the bar was very friendly and amicable .... would strongly advise people to try this place, you won't be disappointed!

Most amazing prawn 🍤 crab 🦀 and salmon sandwiches with cream cheese. Fresh as fresh and do tasty... 3rd one In a week and such good value for quality food. Would definitely recommend a visit !

What value this place is got a sarnie each to take with us to Looe Island. Needed the walk around the island to get up an appetite as this is such a big sandwich. I am minded to drive to Looe again just to get...

My wife loves the crab sandwiches that they prepare here, second time in Looe this year and she had to have one.

on a day out in looe we found this place tucked away in a tiny alley .my g/f had a pot of shrimps from here which where excellent .later in the day we called back and i ordered a hot beef on half a french stick , couldnt believe how much beef went into it ! my g/f had the same in a barm we found somewhere to sit to eat it , we both took a bite and said how tender and tasty the beef was .it was excellent value for money and so good we paid £4 for the half stick full of beef and £2.50 for the barm .can't be beaten for quality and value imo , give it a try you wont regret it believe me

we have bought baps from the sandwich bar many times when we are staying in looe. never disappointed with the pork and apple baps and they are great value.

This is an amazing find There food is outstanding Great value for money The seafood baguette is outstanding We return every time

What a little gem of a place! I had the nicest crab sandwich there for the lowest price in Looe. The sandwich was made in front of me by a lovely young lady and was not shy on the filling! I would most definitely recommend.

Our first time in Looe, and we were so lucky to come across this place. If we could give a better rating we would. Excellent quality and amazing selection for such a small place, at great value for money prices.Ok; so you queue to place your order at a small window, but you then watch your sandwich being created with generous portions of filling - you won’t find more freshly made than this.The crab sandwich was delicious and the ham and cheese in my bab was ‘real’ and nothing like that which comes out of a supermarket plastic bubble pack.

Still the best Sandwich Shop in Looe, nowhere else comes close!Great sandwiches, baguettes and seafood at seriously rock bottom prices!We managed to get lunch for 2 adults and 2 children for about £15, you won't get that many places in Looe! Keep up the great work!

This place is fantastic value and tasty too.great potions, reckon it's probably the cheapest in looe.its cheap and clean and the food is great so what's not to love.the owner is really nice too 😍😍🤩

Dropped in here for a crab baguette while staying. Yum! very good and quick service. Also, the tea and other items were very cheap.

We're locals and visit most weekends for cake and coffees. This amazing little sandwich bar has the cheapest hot drinks in Looe and a selection of hot foods and sandwiches that'll make you wonder how he fits it all back there. Polite and friendly service always, can't fault it.

Having been staying in Looe for a week for the past 5 years, my wife decided she wanted a seafood baguette, it was stuffed with prawns, smoked salmon and salad, she only managed to eat half of it, great value for £5.95

Come back every time I'm in Looe, completely unbeatable lunch packed with flavour and awesome value, not to mention the old boy who owns the place always has a smile, and a bit of craic.

amazing food seafood rolls lovely highly reccomend to anyone that goes to looe best crab rolls in cornwall

Well recommended, best value for money food in Looe by a good stretch. Good quality fillings in plenty.

Love the food from here always great quality and at a reasonable price. The Cornish feast is my favourite it’s packed with fresh locally caught prawns and crab then smoked salmon salad and Mary-rose sauce.

Im sad to write this review but felt it entirely necessary . I had passed the sign for crab sandwich and was looking forward to trying one.

OMG, where can I start...I have honestly never visited a place that can compete with this one on it's freshness, quality and great value....it's just superb!

How this lovely man makes money I’ll never know - amazing tuna mayo sandwich with three slices of bread piled high with fresh ingredients for £2.50! And 60p for tea or coffee - and great coffee at that! Try it for yourself and ignore the ridiculous comment about it being a rip off......

Had a crab roll (soft white bap) with salad - filling was v nice and fairly generous BUT maybe I'm just a bread snob.... it would have been even better in a crusty ciabatta roll or perhaps with sliced sourdough/farmhouse granary bread instead?

this is an absolute gem of a place the cornish feast french stick is the best sandwich i have ever had - freshly prepared while you wait ... smoked salmon cream cheese prawns crab salad and mary rose sauce on lovely fresh french stick just drooling thinking about it. speciality coffees at amazing prices can’t reccomend this place enough.

The best (and cheapest probably) sandwich shop in Looe which also sells tea and coffee. The crab special sandwich is amazing and perked me up on my coastal walk. Fabulous! All sandwiches are made fresh to order, there’s cake and baked potatoes too, all served with a cheery smile.

Simply divine french sticks, with an absolute huge selection, i always have the prawn or crab french stick, these are seriously fresh and all are made while you wait, and great value at £5.50.

Great value always consistent good sandwiches good to have a place that doesn't rip off tourists or locals.

Best value in Looe. Fresh baps and sandwiches full of whatever you want.£5.50. I had a forest of Looe Philadelphia cheese.smoked salmon crab and prawns. Cups of coffee £1 .tea 70p.

Bought a prawn and crab baguette today to enjoy on the beach .

For a sandwich and a cup of tea look no further in Looe, all freshly made and great value for money. The Roast Beef with Onion Gravy is a must try.

Always eat here during the summer, I always have the hot beef bap or baguette and they are always great, my partner also loves them

Love this sandwich bar.. Great food and great value for money... This is purely a take away and offers no inside sitting... Love the fresh sandwiches and cakes that can be bought with a lovely cuppa... Give it a go....

This little place is an absolute hidden gem!

If you want value for money and a good hearty sandwich then this is definitely the place to go. Returned again this year specifically to have one of their amazing seafood sandwiches. It's a club like sandwich overflowing with smoked salmon, local crab and prawns. While I was waiting to be served I watched them making a cheese, ham, pickle french stick along with a hot pork and stuffing french stick both of which looked delicious and were stuffed with filling. Can't wait to return next year.

We had a variety of baguettes. HOT turkey with stuffing, pork with stuffing and gammon and mustard all fo which were really really good value for money and tasted wonderful

Visit every year when I'm in looe....it never fails to deliver on value for money or service. Massive triple decker sandwiches (among other things like jackets, baguettes, rolls) with plenty of filling, all made to order to your specific needs. Great value for cans of pop and crisps etc too.

No one can go wrong here. The food is fresh, excellent quality, made as ordered, and excellent value. The tea and coffee is the best and cheapest in Looe. How they manage everything on the menu in such a small area is beyond me. The staff are very pleasant and polite. If there is a queue, don't nworry its worth it.

We always make sure we visit this sandwich bar when in Looe. Great value and the double decker crab sandwich is very good. Friendly owner.

After a day of endless walking in the sunshine, it was a lovely break to find this little place to sit down - have a meal and a cool drink.

Fabulous little take away sandwich/coffee shop. The tea & coffee are piping hot and only 60p. I had the Toffee Nut Latte - d'lish. The good is fresh, tasty, plentiful and great value. Lovely staff A great find.

We come here every time we visit Looe, 60p for a cup of tea and the sandwiches first class, the owners do not skimp on portions or rip you off on price, well worth the visit.

This little sandwich bar is a gem, freshly made and reasonably priced. You need to have a Cornish delight, amazing. The owner is not here to rip you off like most tourist places. Well worth a visit, if only for a cheap cup of tea. We go back every time we are in looe.

always go here for a cup of tea, it is not only the cheapest but the best value anywhere in Looe, the snacks and food is excellent and cannot be faulted.

Just come back from a short break in Looe. Ate at various different restaurants but can honestly say the crab baguette I ate here was my favourite meal! Half a large baguette, packed with fresh crab. It cost about £5.50! Ridiculously good value. Don't be fooled by the more expensive competition. This place is the business!

Very good food. price. quality. a nice chat with the owner from{ SWANLEY KENT } half the price of the other shops but much better give this one AGO

always had great food from here great selection and very friendly staff and they will make them to how you want

Lovely cups of teas for only 60p. Great menu and right by the harbour. I would recommend and would use again

Just popped in for a coffee, one min empty next min full, not surprised as looking around the food looked delicious

the sandwich bar is near the harbour. we had cheese and onion baps with salad twice during our stay in looe. the meals are very good value.

My favourite place for a sandwich/baguette. We come here every year! Various fillings, all so fresh and lovely bread! Wonderful!

Ideal for sandwiches and drinks. Not overpriced like some. A cheap alternative to feed the family or a sandwich on the go. Hot and cold drinks and a friendly face serving.

Great Sandwich made to order no extras ie salad if required Pleasant staff , best price we had paid all week

Want a snack, this sandwich bar is just the place, great fillings at a good price, choose and enjoy sat looking over the harbour or beach.

Every time we visit Looe we always have a sandwich / baguette from here, the portion size is massive and made fresh for you whilst you wait it always tastes amazing! Great value cheapest we have found in looe , You always get served with a friendly smile!

What a great little sandwich bar, triple decker sandwiches at reasonable prices and it must be the cheapest cup of tea in Looe at 60p. It's not to be misse

Really good value, half the price of anywhere else in Looe and the food is really tasty and a good sized portion.

Aways visit here when in Looe, bargain drinks and snacks the tea the best in Looe they do not skimp on portions and the prices are very reasonable.

Always visit this little place for a bargain snack and drink. This time we enjoyed a double decker bacon sandwich which kept us feeling full up for hours. Friendly service, all freshly prepared and low prices......a winning combination.

My wife and i have used this sandwich bar for a few years now, the tea is the cheapest and best in Looe, the food on offer is always freshly made to order, my favourite is a half baggette called CORNISH FEAST it is filled with salmon, crab prawns salad and mayonese, it is not small and is a challenge to eat but I have never failed to finished it, my wife likes a Bacon sandwich with onions, but the bar owner will make anything you desire, the prices are very reasonable.

We're lucky enough to live near by and get our lunch here regularly. I try not to eat a lot of bread or meat but I can't resist one of Barry's hand carved beef or ham baguettes! It's delicious, hearty food, he doesn't skimp on the portions and everything is super value! I recon he keeps his prices down to save money having new menu boards painted up, because I would pay double for one of Barry's tripple decker sandwiches! Now, if you are here on holiday then you absolutely MUST have the cornish banquet baguette! Local hand picked crab, smoked salmon, prawns, cream cheese, marie rose sauce and salad, packed into a baguette which will satisfy the hungriest customer. I'm salvating just thinging about it mmmmmmmmm. Don't be put off by the queue, it's worth the wait and he works fast!

this little sandwich bar is the best in looe!!! 5star hygiene, speed, quality,quantity and price all there sarnie's are 3 slices and have all most anything you can ask for!!! The best in town

had crab from here before plus the Mrs likes her cockles - friendly service and the crab sandwich we took home was OK for tea

this place serves very nice food at very good prices. no seating but there are plenty of places to sit near it. close to the river and lovely staff. well worth going.

If you want a good filled baguette or cob at very good prices really recommend this place hidden away off the main street and near the quay very friendly staff great value give it a try you won't be disappointed x

cheapest place for a good old fashioned sandwich and a cup of tea, excellent service, very quick ad tastes good.
