Sandwiches Etc. in Poole

Popped in for a quick lunch on day trip to Poole, as cafe looked very neat and tidy and menu appealing. Turned out to be a good choice. We had a toasted panini and cheese and onion quiche with salad. Both excellent. Efficient and friendly service. Sorry we did not have time to call later for one of the cakes! Great asset to the town.

Popped in Saturday for our visit while in Poole . Amazing food , friendly atmosphere, very reasonable priced and very respectful portions . If you in Poole pop in you will not be disappointed.

Popped in to have a large English breakfast and a cup of tea. Nice little place, clean and tidy. Sat in the window watching the World go by. A big pot of tea arrived very quickly. And a few minutes later so did the breakfast. Great service. Everything was perfectly cooked. Egg was perfect, bacon and sausage done just right, a waffle, beans, two slices of toast with butter. Friendly service, and relaxing atmosphere. Will go in again next time I'm in town.

In Poole for a couple of hours snd stopped off here for lunch. Good sandwich and jacket potato choices. Staff were friendly and we even spoke to a couple on the next table.

Lovely to sit in the sunshine and relax looking at the shoppers and visitors, whilst enjoying a brie and bacon toastie and green tea from a real china teapot. Friendly staff, and just a good relaxed feel about our mid morning break.

Popped in late lunchtime today. Very warmly welcomed and served immediacy, I honestly ate the most delicious vegetable soup and my flat white coffee was in a generous mug and really hot. I’m going to recommend to all of my friends and this will be my go to when I’m in Poole.

This was our third visit to Sandwiches Etc, the last being some months ago. We were quickly served by a very nice lady and the order arrived quickly. My sausage and bacon baguette was superb, with a bakery-fresh baguette, thick bacon and very tasty sausage. It's clear they are still using top quality ingredients, the sort you would buy for yourself. No budget catering stuff here! Still very reasonably priced and this place is now my go-to establishment for refreshments in Poole. I must try the all-day breakfast next time!

Calling in on a very wet Monday afternoon, we were warmly welcomed and seated. The immediate choice which leapt off the menu was the fresh scones with cream & jam and they certainly did not disappoint. Scones were either fruit or plain and were served warm with a very generous portion of clotted cream & jam. So fresh they crumbled at the touch, light and SO tasty Thank you!

Called in for a late lunch and as always the food was excellent and very fairly priced, if you have't been you should try it.

Found this place a few weeks ago - we were wandering through Poole and stopped for coffee and I tried a bacon roll, which was absolutely perfect. We were in Poole again yesterday so we sought it out again for lunch. Very popular so we had to sit inside. Service was very fast, despite them being busy and food was, once again, delicious and very good value. They clearly do not use any cheap commercial catering ingredients - everything is fresh and top quality, the sort of thing you'd buy for home consumption. Even the sauces are top brands. This will be my choice every time I'm in Poole from now on!

Whenever I come to Poole, this is the place for Breakfast. I got the bus over on a miserable Monday morning. I was greeted by the lady and sat down inside, it was fairly busy despite the overcast weather. Went for my usual full English with orange juice and it was as good, if not better than last time I visited. So much so I came back the following morning to have one with extra egg & toast. Can't recommend this place highly enough

Just lucky to have picked this cafe from the many others. Very quickly served and very friendly. I had decaf coffee served in a pot so I had 2 cups from it. I also had a lovely toasted teacake. Spotlessly clean, including the toilet.

Had a lovely great value for money cream tea before going on a boat trip and popped in again for a fab crab sandwich afterwards. Service and food both excellent and the lady remembered us when we returned several hours later and asked how our trip had been, which I thought was lovely of her as the place was packed all day with many people passing through.

Well first vist, made very welcome, lunch time it was and very much enjoyed our snacks great pot of tea, will now return on my next vist to Poole. Merry Xmas to the staff

Ive wanted to review this cafe as the owner does herself no favours and Im quite pleased to see Im not alone in this view. Most definitely should not be working in hospitality. Great location and loved its previous incarnation, Harts! Such a shame this place is not run by a friendly personality, makes all the difference!

Went here for a pit stop whilst visiting the area, lovely spot on the high street and the menu is quite good too.

Visited here whilst on holiday in Poole, food not bad but the owner has terrible customer service and shouldn’t be working in hospitality. Was made to feel like everything was too much trouble, will definitely not be returning

We have been using Sandwiches Etc. for years and our regular visits to Poole wouldn't be complete without stopping there for lunch. Whilst not necessarily "cheery" the staff are polite and efficient and they make a great pot of tea. There is one toilet, through the cafe and at the top of the stairs, I can quite understand why they wouldn't encourage use by passersby, brushing past everyone eating (try Sainsburys). Haven't been there since the lockdown but hope to be there next week.

This is not a smart looking establishment but looks can be deceptive. There is table service. The menu is extensive and breakfast is served all day. On the first day I had a delicious vegetable soup and my wife had a cheese and onion sandwich both accompanied by hot chocolate. On the second day I had a prawn and avocado baguette which was freshly prepared with large succulent prawns and my wife had a quiche which was delicious.. Everything was modestly priced and all in all it was a good experience to be recommended. There is outdoor seating and the lavatory is upstairs

We were in Poole for the first time and stopped for a coffee but were tempted by the crab sandwiched advertised. They were made fresh to our requirements and were really lovely. The coffee was also delicious and the cost was very reasonable. One small picky point was the spelling on the menu (cappuccino/cappaccino and expresso/espresso), sorry customers notice these things.

I have been here a couple of times it’s been good both times with quick service good cooked breakfast will use again

From the horrible waitress / owner to the dull food. There is nothing good about this place. I am happy for the manager owner to contact me but if it is the same woman as the lady at the front of house then she might not like my criticism. As the title suggests - AVOID AT ALL costs

Stumbled upon this little cafe in Poole when I was looking for some lunch. They had a fantastic selection of freshly made rolls - I chose the Brie and cranberry which was delicious - The roll was incredibly soft. They were also advertising gf scones and cakes but on this occasion I was too full to try them.

Came in here on the Monday of my stay and the breakfast was so good, I came back twice more in the week. Good friendly service and top quality full English. Well worth cycling 9 miles along the coast for, will definitely return next time I'm in the area.

The owner of this cafe is incredibly rude and obnoxious to customers. Would not recommend. I think she needs to go to a Disney World or something.

Asked if my son could use the toilet and was told to use another cafe round the corner as they let the public use their toilets! How you can not let a 4 year old use the toilet is disgusting!!

Went in for a tea and coffe.e and ended up ordering g a sausage roll and toasted tea cake. Geneteman came and took our order starlight away and it was all very prompt. He was very pleasant. Used the toilet. Very steep and looked like it was work in progress. All in all ok and mad cheap. Lady taking money and dealing with other tables looked fed up. Probably wouldn’t return.

Great value for money sandwiches, rolls etc with lots of fillings on offer - right in the heart of the shopping street so easy to find

Visit often. The staff are always very friendly and helpful and the food is always very nice. They have a huge selection of gluten free ranges so perfect for any one who has a special diet.

Plain boring sandwiches ! Bit expensive for what they are ! Coffee not out of a proper coffee machine .

Good service. Kind staff, great food. Lovely setting, and surroundings! Quiet area. Would return again

Whilst in Poole we wanted some lunch so called into this cafe which is in the High Street and does have seats outside but it was raining so we went in. There was only one other customer when we arrived.

We called in for a coffee and a sandwich mid-week lunchtime. Having never been here before we thought we would give it a try.The food is ok , but nothing more, the prices are not the cheapest and the service could do with some improvement. We ordered 2 coffees but were served with tea. The location is in the High Street so very convenient. This could be so much better.

Called in for breakfast. Full English was okay - all well cooked but sausage was poor quality (probably no more than 40% meat) and the tomatoes were tinned plum. For £5.50 I guess to be expected. The tea was fine though I'd agree with another reviewers comment about the stained teapot. My latte was also okay but not like Costa or Starbucks etc. The lady serving was friendly enough though had a general lack of enthusiasm about her. She clearly would have liked to be elsewhere! Customers like to see that you are enjoying what you do not because you have to....

Gasping for a cuppa we stopped here as we could sit outside. Pot of tea for two cost £3.30! T pot was disgusting and I wonder when it was cleaned. Tea was vile, they obviously use cheap tea bags. Total rip off.

We popped in and waited at the counter only for a grumpy lady to rather rudely direct us to sit down first. We sat and waited for her to arrive but after another wait we have up and left before she could be rude again. Cakes looked good though.

Sausage sandwich, veg soup, cheese and spring onion toastie. Everything is just as you would expect. Along with great service and speedy delivery of your order, this is a good value lunch time treat.

When needing lunch in Poole this is the place to go. Excellent pot of tea and good sandwiches made to order.

Called in for breakfast recently served by a miserable surly scruffy woman, I requested no egg I was not offered an alternative the meal was delivered missing something else I ate it and thought it would be sorted out at the till when I went to pay I was charged the full amount I reminded her that I requested no egg also there was something else missing from the plate she was very unpleasant and stated that it was my decision and reluctantly knocked something off the bill, it will also be my decision never to eat there again.

Such a shame... On a beautiful sunny day I invited my sister for lunch in her hometown Poole. We ordered an elderflower drink which was fine, a horrible Banana milkshake, a baguette bacon, brie and walnuts and a baguette prawns and avocado. Very sad bake-off baguette, deepfreeze prawns with cocktail sauce and 3 days old lettuce. What a waste of money... Next visit to the UK I'll avoid this place...

I would avoid, expensive for a sandwich shop! £18.70 for a jacket, bacon sandwich and egg on one bit of toast, with three drinks....!

Popped in here on my break for a full English. It's nothing special but I couldn't fault the breakfast which was served promptly and was tasty. The server could have been a little more friendly but apart from that I was satisfied with the cafe as a whole.

The reviews on here don't reflect what I experienced around mid afternoon on a sunny weekday. We only had drinks but the lady was polite and efficient. The drinks were decent enough and not too expensive compared to some in Poole. If I was passing again I would pop in. My only gripe was they close quite early and a fair few customers were turned away! Business must be good to be able to do that!

Food standard and expensive. £4 for a coronation chicken sandwich with no salad, nothing on the plate apart from bread and the filling. Service, disgraceful Toilets, why bother?

Sandwiches - Bog Standard, bit expensive for half a lettuce leaf in it!!!

I went into sandwiches with a friend for a late lunchtime coffee & gateaux which was advertised on the window for a fixed price.
