The Sandwich Co Diamond in Derry

Eggs deluxe was looking for Eggs benedict but the girl recommended this Beautiful food service and ambience prices and quality excellent can't recommend highly enough Jim Belfast

Just dropped in for a coffee and a sausage roll with my wife on a morning out. Decor and ambience of place lovely, no table service and que for service was slow. Coffees very nice and well presented, but sausage roll was served without garnish, just placed on a plate on its own. It was very dry with very little meat, mostly pastry that was left on the plate.

Era l’ora di pranzo e siamo entrati in questo locale per caso. Preparano i sandwich davanti a te dopo che hai scelto il tipo di pane e gli ingredienti, poi ti accomodi e ti portano il tutto al tavolo. C’è anche altro, comunque i sandwich sono buoni e con il bere abbiamo speso ben 11,20 euro!

its a big spot with a bit of a queue, but its mostly the usual fare offered by fresh sandwich places all over the country, that said the staff were lovely and we sat out in the rear courtyard on a sunny afternoon which was lovely

Not impressed at all. After a previous issue that my family experienced in this establishment, we let it go and continued to visit here, nearly on a weekly basis for lunch. On our last visit (which will be our last), the staff couldn’t not accommodate food for a fussy two year old, which they have always done. The most frustrating thing was that the customer in front of us was told that there were no rolls left for her soup, she asked for the last baguette to be halved. She was told they weren’t suppose to do that but they would do it as a one off! Now all I requested was a slice of ham for a child to go along with their soup (which I was willing to pay for) and was told I would have to pay for a full sandwich (£3+). This meant £3 for a slice of ham, even though we requested this regularly and got it for a small fee. When asked to speak to another member of staff or manager, I was told there is no manager anymore and all staff will agree with me on the ham - as quote ‘we don’t sell ham like that’. What about my previous visits? The service and ability to accommodate a two year old was not acceptable and I will not return to this cafe. I would recommend anyone with children to avoid here due to the lack of accommodation my family and I experienced. There are plenty of other cafes nearby who will most certainly accommodate you and your kids needs. This is petty over a slice of ham. It’s the principle that one customer could be accommodated and another could not!

A very popular self service eatery with some wonderfully eccentric furnishings and decor. There is a big choice of fillings for baguettes. Mine was chicken and brie which was excellent. Being greedy I also had the chicken cream fan which was served warm and was utterly gorgeous. Great coffee and good value.

Was on work placement and nipped in here on my own for soup and a toasted sandwich, I enjoyed it, was tasty. Building is quite dark but I liked it, plenty of space and goes right up the back with plenty room to social distance. This is in the diamond Derry and close to all shopping areas so nice wee stop off mid way through a girlie day shopping or just for a girlie lunchwould recommend as a lite bite

Este es un lugar popular y siempre está lleno. El café y el té de hierbas son buenos. Solo desearía que hubiera más baños (para el tamaño del edificio no hay suficientes baños). Otro punto, hay una gran trampa para el sol en la parte de atrás, solo deseo que el personal se seque las sillas y limpie las mesas. El espacio exterior es fantástico, pero no se utiliza en todo su potencial. Durante la pandemia actual, es un lugar ideal para sentarse en paz y disfrutar del ambiente. Aprecio que nuestro clima es impredecible, pero no se debe dejar a los clientes secar los muebles.

Conseguimos 2 baguettes y una plaza de caramelo para llevar el fin de semana y nos costó 12. 70. El bollo era 1. 70 así que eso significa que las baguettes eran 5. 50 cada uno. Habría estado en sandwich co con suficiente frecuencia antes del cierre y no recuerdo que los precios fueran tan ridículos.Pedí mayonesa en mis baguettes y conseguí mantequilla. Estaba en casa antes de darme cuenta.No creo que vuelva con precios como este, lo siento.

Dropped in for a light lunch. Very busy which usually is a good sign. Great selection of sandwich fillings and sticky sweet things. Tables could have been cleaned a little quicker but was a pretty peak time.

Loved it will be back on my next visit.. If I was to complain about anything that it was super busy and next I'll make sure to get up alot earlier than I did.

Me encanta un sándwich a la hora del almuerzo y este lugar tenía muchos rellenos para elegir, no me decepcionó. Me encantó la mezcla ecléctica de muebles (cómodos) y las divertidas obras de arte que cubren las paredes. Definitivamente recomendaría este lugar. Es poco probable que vuelva a estar en Derry, pero definitivamente probaré el Forte Lynn, la sucursal de Letterkenny cuando esté en Donegal en el verano.

Called into this lovely sandwich shop today. Great friendly staff and delicious soup and sandwiches. Highly recommend. Very reasonably priced too

Amazing artistic and relaxing atmosphere. Good selection of food. Live music which adds so much to the atmosphere. Very convenient to local shops. Helpful and accommodating staff.

Mi compañero y yo almorzamos aquí, fue mi primera vez aquí y fue hermoso. El personal era muy amable, y el panini y los rellenos estaban frescos y en la cantidad justa. La col era hermosa! Un precio muy razonable también!La primera vez aquí, pero sin duda volveremos.

Very busy on Tues lunchtime but we found them very efficient, friendly and welcome. Food very good, great wraps and deserts.

Had lunch sandwich and soup combo one day, breakfast sweets and coffee the next day. Soup was great, Irish seem to puree most soups so taste and appearance don't always match! Likely would have returned if we had stayed more days.

Arrived for a business meeting in the city and went to this place. Quirky but relaxing. Coffee was good and enjoyed a simple breakfast. Plenty on offer for breakfast and the variety of sandwiches was amazing.

Este restaurante profesa ser un restaurante "sándwich" que, debo suponer, significa que se destacan en la entrega de un buen sándwich. Ese no fue el caso ayer por la tarde, el domingo, cuando no estaban exactamente invadidos por los clientes que regresaban a sus oficinas o estaciones de trabajo. El pavo y el jamón apenas llegaron al pan, estaba tan bien que tuve que comprobar que había algo entre el pan. Solicité específicamente arándano con la tarifa. . . . Creo que tal vez se agregaron dos arándanos aplastados que lograron darle un sabor a este llamado 'sándwich'. O alguien se ha hecho cargo de una nueva francaise o necesita capacitar a su personal. El tiempo era que los sandwiches de 'Sandwich Co' estaban rellenos con ingredientes saludables. Lamentablemente no volveré allí. Mi colega tuvo la misma experiencia y dijo que recientemente había abandonado ir a este restaurante debido a la mala calidad de la comida. Terrible en mi opinión.

Staying overnight in the local hotel we ate lunch here, our second visit. Soup and sandwiches were ordered with tea for two and like our previous visit, the food was good quality and quantity. Service was not slow and there was ample seating in the cafe. We left feeling not disappointed with our lunch, quite the opposite in fact. Let’s say like my father in law used to say ... it was a quare tightener!

I'm a bit wary of what I have here since the food seems to have become stale. When you see the tuna or prawn fillings look a funny colour, it's time to change to a roll or something less unappealing.

Ate here yesterday and my clothes were stinking of food after left premises. Both my friend and I had to change our clothes when got home.

Sé que he revisado este lugar antes, pero llegó el miércoles 14, nunca deja de impresionar, no es solo la visita, es el estado que lo hace especial, las damas de guardia siempre muy buenas en su servicio al cliente, siempre agradables y útil, Neive, probablemente deletreó mal, lo siento, y el pastel es bueno para todos, vale la pena visitarlos.

Nous cherchions un dîner simple et nous avons pu trouver des sandwich et une bonne soupe à prix très abordable. Nous reviendrons.Par contre ne prenait pas le chocolat à emporter : exorbitant et c'est de l eau avec de la poudre .

Very busy on Sat afternoon but found friendly and welcome. Efficient but not rushed and family friendly. Food very good.

Lovely choice even for gluten free. Quick efficient service. Very reasonably priced. Busy but relaxed atmosphere

This nis a great place to go for breakfast. Everything is fresly cooked. It was £3,95 for a cooked breakfast and only a £1 for a lovely pot of tea to go with it, Highly recommend this cafe. They also do tasty sandwiches and cakes to take out.

Visited on Saturday--an hour before closing time.

Friendly staff, great food and fabulous coffee. The decor is wonderful and perky my kids loved it. When we come back to Derry we will definitely be back.

Lovely place to get sandwiches, salads and cakes. Beautiful interiors and a lovely atmosphere. Delicious food and lots of inside space to sit.

Si estás en Derry y tienes que desayunar, es una muy buena opción. Puedes tomar el típico desayuno ingles, y a muy buen precio. Sabroso y te llevas unas cuantas calorías al cuerpo para un día intenso de andar por sus calles.

Absolutely delicious soup and sandwich. Perfect lunch for a drizzly day in Derry. Friendly service and weekend atmosphere on a Tuesday lunchtime.

Terrible design had to wait 20 minutes just for a coffee as it’s at the end of the food counter. Who designed this place ??

You decide what you like on your sandwich. And all is so delicious and of good quality. Together with really magnificent coffee your lunch is complete!

Lovely selection of sandwiches made to your own choice. The staff were lovely and friendly. All a good price. Lovely environment to relax and enjoy your lunch, definitely worth a visit.

Desperate for a cup of good coffee we were directed to The Sandwich Co by a friendly traffic warden who said "They'll look after you." She was right. The coffee was great and a freshly made sandwich and soup were very good. The menu is varied so you will find plenty of choice. There was a nice buzz of happy customers. The decor is completely crazy but that sets the character of the place. It is informal, the staff are young and friendly and try hard. There are seats outside. This café is more than worth the walk up the hill (under the arch) near the Guildhall, and will set you up to take a jaunt along the wall.

We went here both days for breakfast. The deluxe porridge was our favorite! The staff was very friendly. The prices were very affordable. Highly recommend.

I was feeling like a sandwich for lunch and the signage attracted me to the restaurant. As I opened the door the queue was backed up and the shop full, so I knew it must be a good place. The line moved quickly and in next to no time I had to decide on a flavour. I went went with a chicken club mix on brown and my husband had the chicken and coleslaw. Mmmm...both were a good choice. Great atmosphere and food.

Excellent fresh food. They know how to serve up good coffee. Really worth a visit on a Saturdays at 12 to hear Noelle singing. She should be recording and on stage. Mesmerising. You can just close your eyes and listen.

We stopped in here for lunch and really enjoyed our meal. The restaurant has a cafeteria style ordering line with good food and not bad prices. The decor of the place was very interesting - there was something else to look at wherever you glanced. There was also live music playing - a great singer with a sultry raspy voice. It was quite busy when we stopped by, but our food was quickly served and it did not feel overly crowded.

Food was good and well priced. Gluten free us available if you ask. Staff very friendly and competent.

Great visit here on Wednesday evenings after a walk, definitely worth the visit, two very helpful and pleasant members of staff on duty.

I visited about 3.30 on a sunday afternoon and ordered standard cheese salad plate and small Americano for £5.80. Salad was iceberg lettuce (a bit brown), coleslaw, grated cheddar, spring onions, tomato, sweetcorn and pineapple. Coffee was OK. I was asked to move seats as the back/most of restaurant was closed for cleaning. A young guy brushed up around me as I finished my coffee. They don't close until 5pm and this at the latest 3.50pm. I don't think I'll go back on a Sunday afternoon.

Big menu and a lot of staff. Plenty of seats both inside and out. I ordered a breakfast bap with tea. It's well under a fiver and you actually get a pot of tea which is very good value. Sadly a breakfast bap which is a stable thing and hard to do wrong was somewhat lacklustre.

Had a nice lunch. Tasty sandwich, good service and all at an reasonable price. If your close definitely call in.

Was served by a young brown haired girl who was very well mannered and helpful as my kids can be a nightmare when it comes to ordering has the patience of a saint cannot compliment service enough, food hit the spot, can not fault this place or staff

Estaba muy satisfecho que encontramos este lugar. Comida sabrosa y un buen entorno de peculiar. Todo ayudado por el músico tocando (de la caridad). Personal muy agradable y servicial.

Gran Café, con un montón de asientos, que ofrecen una gran variedad de sabrosos bocadillos y pasteles recién hechos. El personal era amable y el lugar estaba muy bien decorado. Lo recomiendo.

Fuimos y había otro cliente en el mostrador. El 7 personal detrás nos ignoraron durante 5 minutos, así que nos fuimos.

Ci siamo fermati, più' che per fame per curiosità, molto accoglienti, possibilità di scegliere i sandwich da moltissimi ingredienti esposti, vengono preparati sull'attimo, abbiamo ordinato 2 sandwich al salmone e due dolci, bottiglia d'acqua totale euro 14,50. Veramente buoni e locale accogliente, accettano anche la carta di credito.

Tuvimos sándwiches en marrones claros que eran realmente sabrosos panecillos. El servicio era rápido y amable. Nuestro café con leche y moka fueron buenos. El café es grande, decoradas de forma peculiar y cómoda y muy céntrica, justo en el diamante. Se puede acceder al jardín de reflexión a través del café, merece la pena una visita. Sin duda volveremos.

La primera vez que me he comido en la calle Obispo sandwich en compañía y fue una experiencia muy agradable. Buen sándwich y personal agradable. No tuve cara con sandwich de bacon y huevos, cebolla y mi pareja tenía sopa del día que puerro y patatas.

Great for a snack lots of choices. Moderate prices. Friendly staff. Try the tuna sandwiches. Very central, and very popular.

I recently had the misfortune to eat in this cafe..... firstly I would like to take this opportunity to say that I have eaten in this company before however it was the one in the strand road which in comparison is first class. On arrival with a friend we joined the queue staff took our order, not once did they smile in fact their whole demeanour felt as if they could not be bothered. We sat at our table and proceeded to eat our sandwiches upon which time I noticed that the plate that my sandwich was on was filthy with debris from the previous customer! I took the plate up and as I had already bitten into my sandwich I would not have expected a fresh one, however what I would have expected is manners and a apology from the staff who replaced my plate, instead I got a clean plate (which should be customary for every new customer) and the member of staff practically threw a few added crisps on it by way as compensation. Totally unacceptable both where the filthy dishes and customer service of staff were concerned. I think it is safe to say I will never visit this establishment again.

What a gem! The small exterior belies a huge interior! Very impressed. Recommend it for lunch or a treat. Two toasted ham and cheese bagels, two soft drinks, a salmon salad and two lattes was a mere £20.20. Fresh food, keenly priced.

I eat hear for lunch and the food was lovely and staff was nice and friendly donna was great really helpful

This was my first visit to The Sandwich Co. in the Diamond and I was quite impressed, it was quite unique and almost hipster like inside, with live music in the café. The food itself was well presented as you chose your sandwich fillings and quite tasty. The only down side was the price but then all small cafés here and elsewhere always have that problem.. I'll probably come back every so often. It certainly beats Subway. The Diamond cafe is much bigger than it looks, there's two outdoor seating areas and all-in-all I'd definitely recommend it. It's a local business too, so if you're in L/Derry and want a true slice of it, come here! Other branches about the city and NI too but I haven't been to them.

My favourite spot in the town. Cool surroundings, fresh and healthy options along with some treats! Live music at the weekends too was a nice surprise! Would definitely recommend this to everyone!

After calling in here for a number of years and getting rushed through the cattle mart that is the ordering system, I've finally had enough of this place. How many times do you have to go back up to the counter and ask for the coffee you paid for to be served hot ? Seems that the answer is every time. Staff that rush when taking your order to the point that they have to keep asking you what it was you said... and then still get it wrong. My wife's disabled and no one would even ask her to take a seat and they'd help her. Kids running around like it was a play group and the so called "music" on a Sunday... if you weren't depressed going in it wouldn't take long before you were. Kids with keyboards and guitars, every song blending into the one before and all slow and mind numbing. As for the sign saying free WiFi... I've been in there over the holidays, and for 3 weeks now it's not been working. Ask a member of staff why and you get told...ITS NOT WORKING ! Er, yea we know... I've just asked you WHY it isnt workin ? ...SORRY, DON'T KNOW ???Also...the card machine hasn't been working either, so, for the shops convenience, can you leave the shop with your kids, shopping, partner, husband wife etc, even though you've just been in a line of people waiting for 20 minutes, and walk around the corner to a cash machine, then line up all over again....all because their Internet... wifi...and card machine hasn't worked for at least 3 weeks !!!You know what...no. I've complained to your staff, been told the manager isn't available...EVER it seems.. So I'll just take my business somewhere else thanks. Voting with my wallet and won't ever be back.

Visited Derry and needed somewhere to work for an hour or so this morning so chose the sandwich company in the diamond. Great coffee and a lovely smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich from the deli from smiley pleasant staff in a unique surrounding, with lots of local art, murals, photos and information. Also found somewhere safe (not easy in derry) at the rear of the cafe where there is an outside seating area to park my bike - highly recomend here !

Went here on Sunday morning for breakfast, poached egg and you only get one which is maybe a good thing as it was only half cooked totally disgusting, the large fry is definitely not large by any standards.....have to say I will think twice before I go back or try not to go back at all. I have noticed that the standard has slipped big time with this particular sandwich company which is sad as a sunday morning at the sandwich company listening to Sharon Black playing the piano was something to look forward to, unfortunately the food and the not so friendly staff let it down.

Went her for lunch today and ordered a basic sandwich. I was disgusted to see the girl serving me use a dishcloth to wipe down the counter and then with the same bare hand (without washing) handle my sandwich, and put her hand directly into the tray of grated cheese. Are gloves not a necessity in food places?! At least wash your hands before handling the food!! On top of that, she toasted my sandwich, which I didn't ask for and really didn't want. I normally love the place but that girl really disgusted me. I'm pretty sure she heard me ask the person I was with should she not be wearing gloves before sticking her hands into all the food but she still didn't put them on. Don't think I'll be going back here any time soon.

Went in here for a quick lunch whilst we were shopping, and my expectations were quickly diminished. The staff were incredibly friendly and abrupt, and completely ruined my experience in this business. The food is good, but the staff are severely lacking in customer service.

Popped in on the way past as looked interesting. We had a tuna salad and a Mediterranean bruschetta - both very good. Highly recommended.

it was Friday about 2pm and it was quite busy but there was no one behind me in the queue when i ordered. I was trying to decide about a sandwich, and looking around the cafe could see that there were no clear tables as they all had plates and rubbish on them, even the ones where people had just sat down. I was asked if i wanted a sandwich and replied that i did not and was told to "go down to the till then".. no offer of cake or soup or request for any other order. I normally have a sandwich with crisps, but the choice was very limited and expensive, so i declined. Plus after seeing the tables i opted to get a drink in the end, i felt that the staff were not trying to offer me anything and allowed the other customers to hurry everyone past the food counter towards the till.I suggest more attentive service and better management of clearing and wiping the tables, would not go amiss. this was not a really busy time.

Good food .lovely staff cheerfull staff .good coffee or tea .also music live music.now and then great art work on walls of.derry past and now worth visit

The Sandwich Co in the heart of Derry city is a gem of an experience. There is an extensive selection of quality savoury and sweet treats and is ideal for breakfast, lunch and snacks. The interior is comfortable with an eclectic mix of furniture from antique to contemporary as well of lots of art and murals. It is ideal for family, friends or couples or a solitary visit to people watch, read a paper or book or just take in the surroundings.There are regular musical acts for the customers pleasure. This morning there was a woman playing beautiful contemporary music which created a great ambience. The woman allowed my 3 year old daughter to sit on her lap to play twinkle little star.Last but not least the staff were friendly and helpful. I would give the Sandwich Co 6 stars if I could. Highly recommended.

I'm somethig of a frequent visitor to this cafe and would have previously said I was a fan, however, of late things just aren't what they used to be. The thing that seems to bother me most is the policy on making payment by card- it seems to vary according to who serves you. Some don't allow card use below £5, others will charge 50p if the order is below £5 and yet some don't bat an eyelid...I don't mind if there is a policy, I'd just like to know what it is!Added to this that they seem to run out of things often, the chicken surpeme mix now contains what can only be described as "chunks" of spring onion as opposed to anything that resembles a slice and some of the staff could do with a reminder in how to be polite (I do not want to hear about someones weekend antics as I order breakfast!)

There's a huge variety of sandwich fillings available and a few different breads. Portions are generous. Whilst everything is nice and tastes good it doesn't stand out from the crowd. Great for lunch or a snack and there's loads of room to sit and enjoy it. Would snack there again.

Had a nice enough lunch here good range of sandwich fillings and nice scones but really there is nothing to make it stand out from the other coffee shops and cafes in the area. Lots of seating.

I called into this restaurant at around 2pm on a busy Saturday afternoon and to be fair there were lots of staff working but it did seem a bit disjointed. I ordered a ham and cheese toastie and a scone together with a tea and fruit juice. The toastie sat for about five minutes after being made on the counter at the rear before a member of staff with one gloved hand used her ungloved hand to place on a handful of crisps onto the plate as well. By the time the food was served my sandwich was more cold than toasted. The fruit scone looked dry to begin with but to be fair tasted beautiful.Overall the service could be improved but the tables and floor area where spotless for such a busy day. The decor was fantastic and not what I expected. Overall our experience was ok and whilst I would go back I might venture elsewhere first.

Called in for a coffee and a sandwich lunch time , lovely coffee and delicious sandwich big choice of fillings , and nice trendy surrounding s with comfy seating , staff very pleasent , it was so nice we come back the next morning for breakfast , we had a pleasent suprise there was live music , a guitarist singer , excellent idea great vocalist ,the only problem was it made us sit there al day ,lol we definitively be back the next time we visit this beautiful city .cheap gorgeous food and lovey place

The only problem with TSC is deciding what to order. No one does sandwiches and salads and sweet treats for a coffee and tea pause like TSC in Derry. With a lovely open atmosphere, still a chilled out place to sit and people watch listening to some local musicians. We don't live in Derry, but often the conversation 50km out when hearded for a visit starts with "what are you going to order @ The Sandwich Co. for lunch this time?" A must any day in Derry

Every lunch was spent in here when I worked in the town centre. They do the greatest Toasted sandwiches. Try their homemade vegetable soup.

We came here 3 times during our weekend trip to Derry, twice for breakfast and once for lunch. Very good value with a good choice of sandwiches and cakes, a good strong cuppa, efficient service, comfortable seating, a nice atmosphere and plenty of room. We found the big map on the wall useful for planning our activities too!

We have spent a day in Derry/Londonderry and where looking for a nice place to have a small lunch. This café seemed to be a good choice, since the interior looks absolutely lovely and they had some live music. The sandwich (a sweet chili chicken baguette) and the latte were only average. Staff were alright, not too friendly though.

I think the selection of sandwiches in this place is unrivalled in the town. Great place for a quick lunch - no wonder it's so popular.Shame though that often when I go in there are no baked potatoes or gluten-free bread. If the coeliac-friendly offerings were a bit more consistent, I'd be in all the time ;)

Had such a lovely lunch here! The staff are so polite and friendly every time I visit. The couldn't do enough for us and are very enthusiastic. really pleased with the service.

We visited The Sandwich Co., Diamond several times for lunch and breakfast on our recent visit to Derry City. Delicious sandwiches, exceptional service, and terrific music on a Sunday during breakfast/lunch hours! Folk/roots sounds, an excellent guitarist/vocalist, with a banjo set made for an eclectic and soulful reunion of conversation and relaxation with which to start our day. Great location, filled with a warm and artful decor. It was very hard to leave this inviting place!

Looking for somewhere to have coffee/tea and a sandwich. Came across this cafe and enjoyed a late lunch while listening to a talented duo. Very enjoyable experience. Clean bathrooms.

Staff here were excellent but didn't find the sandwich I had very good unfortunately as I had heard they were great from these reviews

Pleasant staff, clean cafe, great food. Ordered triple club, coffee and a nice banoffee dessert. This place is very busy I visited at peak time (2.30) sandwich was perfection and staff couldn't do more for you though could be doing with more staff long wait to pay. Toilets were clean and tidy. Also noticed outside seating which is a lovely extra for sunny weather. Worth a visit!!!

Local institution - go again and again - only a sandwich but I can't get enough! Go eat and enjoy!!!

Excellent freshly made to order sandwiches and a great selection of delicious cakes and treats. Staff are warm, welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere is just lovely. A great wee place for a spot of lunch or even just a cuppa on a rainy day.

Buscando comer en un restaurante con un celiaco, preguntamos en este y nos comentaron que hacía todos los sandwiches adaptándolos con pan sin gluten. Aparte de todo al prepararlo, era una sola la camarera que los preparaba y con utensilios limpios. Grata experiencia.

We droppd in for lunch. I had an excellent turkey sandwich and my wife had some ham and cheese on a baguette. The meat and bread was all high quality. While we were there (early sunday afternoon) they had a nice duo playing and they were quite good.

Right in the heart of Derry. Brilliant menu and good food. Cheerful, helpful staff. Very busy. Well worth a visit for lunch or a nice coffee with a scone.

i love going to the sandwich co, i always order the same thing when i go in - chicken and coleslaw sandwich on white bread and it sounds so simple but it tastes amazing! lovely atmosphere from this place and it's always so busy

The Sandwich Co.on the Diamond is one of many cafes around the town. The food is always good and also fresh from cakes to sandwiches to soup to Irish bread fare. The staff are Friendly and cheerful. Also food is reasonably priced to suit all pockets. Usually well packed from around noon until 2ish.

The garlic chicken mayonaise sandwich on granary bread is delicious filled with peppers and sunblushed tomatoes

I am a big fan of the Sandwich Company on the Diamond in Derry for various reasons. I find the staff more than welcoming as are the proprietors. They do an excellent cappuccino but I have switched to Americano as I am trying to stay off dairy products. The quality of the coffee is excellent. Vegans are catered for which is good, the range of fillings for sandwiches is extensive, not to mention the lemon meringue and banoffee treats. But the thing I like most is the atmosphere. I can go in by myself and I am sure to meet someone interesting. If I have one tiny gripe. I wish the customers who were in before me didn't steal the newspapers. I do like to have a tabloid catch up with my coffee.

I was back in Derry for the holidays and called in for a coffee with my sister to support local business as you do.We joined the long-ish queue as expected in a place with such a good rep. We got our buns and proceeded to the till. Only then we were asked "any hot drinks?" To which we were told, "Take a seat and I'll bring it down". Ten minutes later and buns practically eaten my hazelnut latte arrived, "Stir the bottom there" [to mix in the syrup] was the instruction. In fairness the coffee and snack were lovely (once stirred of course!) I just thought from a business teacher's perspective, with the number of staff "tripping over each other" the operation could have been better organised. We always hear about the plight of the small business against the Starbucks of this world but in the end consumer loyalty is built on consistency of product and service.

I popped in today at lunch time and asked for a chicken goujon panini with cheese well done, went to pay for it and the girl asked me did i get it toasted and i said yes, they charged me an extra 85p to toast it, i also got a bag of crisps and in total for a panini and a bag of crisp was £4.85 well over priced.When i got back to my office to have my lunch i couldn't even eat it, it was like rubber - I will never be back !!!!

I never write bad reviews on here, I believe in the saying 'If you cant say something nice dont say anything'However, I went in for a bite of brekkie last week and left feeling a bit stupid, I had a big long post all written out but I just deleted it and instead im going to give the staff some advice, *Please greet us, we are spending hard earned money here and deserve a hello. *Dont sneer when a customer asks a question, we dont know everything. *Dont assume we know where everything is, we are not all regulars. Please just guide us to anything we may need. *Take a leaf out of your colleagues in Lisnaelvins book, They are always friendly and helpful even when they're obviously busy. *And lastly, always assume your customer is a secret shopper.Saying all that the coffee was lovely and It wont stop me going to the Sandwich Co but I wont be at this one again.

Wandering about Derry City centre looking for sustenance I saw a queue of people at this venue - always a good sign if the locals are heading in there at lunchtime.Confusion marketing - way too many options for a stranger in town, when everyone else in the queue knows exactly what they want - but the friendly staff were very patient, explained the options and within minutes had a family of four very happy and munching away.The staff were absolutely first-class, nothing appeared to be a problem even when faced with some challenging customers. I don't know who runs this emporium but they could give a lot of other eateries a master-class on how to deliver customer satisfaction.Pricing was more than reasonable for what we ate, coffee tasted fantastic, portion control wasn't mean for sandwich fillings and the toilets were immaculate - another sign of a pro-active management team.Where will I be lunching on my next visit to Derry? I'll be first in the queue at 12.00.So if anyone from the management team reads this - you are delivering a great product and service. Would I make any suggestions for improvement - maybe introduce some more regional Irish options - as a tourist I can get a tuna mayo sandwich anywhere in the developed world.

Exclent place to eat, food is good, atmosphere set up is best, only fault maybe a bit more expensive place to have lunch but quality is up there

Today we went to the Sandwich Co Diamond, and the standard of service was a disgrace. First of all the girl serving us almost barked at us asking for our orders, and when we wanted a roll with our soup she rolled her eyes and said it wasn't available only wheaten bread. We chose not to go for the wheaten, then when we got to the till we asked for two slices of brown bread. We were handed a slice of wheaten bread and charged around £2.50 - for one slice of wheaten bread - usually free with the soup - which was an extremely small bowl of soup for £3.25. Not to mention the woman who gave us the bread - the same woman who took our order fired the bread onto the side of the plate - with no butter etc. If the staff were trained in customer service, then this would be the perfect place.

I don’t usually wine about food but today my wife and I visited the sandwich co store in Lisnagalvin Derry. We asked for 2 pininias and 2 teas when we went to pay the total bill was £14.25, A bit expensive I thought but there must be a side order like chips that comes with it we ordered 2 chicken taco with some onion cheese and a bit of ham. When we sat down and looked at the bill we could see they charged us 80p for each item which was the cheese ham and onion an extra total of £ 4.80 when the girl brought the meal down I could not believe what they handed us. The pininas where as flat a pancake we opened them up and there was 6 pieces of onion in one of them a sprinkle of cheese and a half slice of ham cut up for £14 you would expect a lot more. We demanded our money back and left I can honestly say that was my first and last time I will ever be in a sandwich co total rip off

Used to frequent the SC in its old location and finally got to try out the new offering. It's now evolved into a proper cafe with sandwiches still the prime offering. I loved the atmosphere,quirky decor and spaciousness of the new place. The sandwiches and coffee are as good as ever; freshly prepared and with loads of options. Some perhaps a little heavy on mayo. I loved the way the staff took care of the customers including older people with care and respect. I'll definitely be back as good food in really comfortable surroundings

I tried different place like this, where you're allowed to build your own sandwich.the staff was a little bit rude, maybe they're more use to deal with local people rather than tourists. The food was good, even if i should have avoided the chips, that was really cheap, but the sandwich definitely worth the price.nice location and clean bathroom. an easy way to have lunch in Londonderry
