Been here a few times now. The cafe is normally busy and there is seating outside on a nice day. Order at the counter and the food/drinks are served to your table. A variety of sandwiches and cakes available. Clean and tidy premises and staff are always welcoming and a quick turn around on serving your food/drinks.

Lovely spot. Welcoming staff - sandwiches and tea, coffee and cake top notch. Simple sandwiches - fresh bread and ingredients - the best egg sandwich we have had in 30 years! Thank you ..

I visited here with my son. The cafe was busy but we were greeted with smiles. Managed to get a table. We are quite fussy so liked the fact the sandwiches were traditional and if needed we could ask for items to be removed. We chose the local ham and cheddar sandwich which was plated up lovely with fresh salad and coleslaw. The staff were polite and the food scrumptious . We will be returning in future.

We had to ask for the previous used china to be removed , the outside table was not cleaned for us. The salad served was awful half tomato limp old lettuce leaves. The staff worn no aprons just their everyday clothes . which is not a good look when serving food as a business. Considering the amount of overseas visitors to Sandwich this place should be catered for in a more professional manner.

New Year, new reduction in portion sizes and price increase. Am a local and visit this shop regularly but New Year brings portion sizes and garnish decrease in size plus suspected price increase. Shame.

Great stop for light bites and homemade cakes. Lunch menu is fairly small but everything was nicely prepared and presented. Quick and friendly service. We took away homemade cakes for our bike ride in the afternoon - a lovely treat to keep our strength up later on. A hearty bread pudding and almond and cherry cake. Highly recommended!

You'd expect something special from The Sandwich Shop in Sandwich. We were disappointed on several levels. The sandwich was okay, but nothing to write home about and the scones, although perfect, cam without enough cream - cheapskate.

We felt a sandwich in Sandwich from the The Sandwich Shop ought to be a feature of our visit but unfortunately we can’t give a positive review. It may just have been an ‘off day’ for the lady serving us who was clearly busy but even so we came away wishing we had tried somewhere else instead. Firstly the ‘vegetarian options’ are very limited - cheese and pickle or egg mayo being the only options. Nothing for vegans I’m afraid. My cheese sandwich had dried bread (probably from sitting unwrapped in the kitchen waiting to be used) with a far from generous filling unable to detract from the dryness. My husbands egg mayo was a bit more successful. Our pot of tea for 2 provided one small cup each and when I asked for a top up of water had about an inch put in which barely coloured the milk for an attempted second cup. I do hope other people have better experiences!

I visited here after getting lost trying to reach another location. A bit of a shame but it is what it is. I asked to sit down and eat and the lady behind the counter was very kind and accommodating, and explained all the options on offer. I was really impressed to see there was gluten free bread and cake on offer at no extra charge. I ordered a really nice farmhouse special sandwich and a hot chocolate, which were both delicious. I would definitely recommend this establishment and I look forward to returning in the near future.

A pretty average place. An excellent location in the square, & good views from the window. Food not terrible, but nothing actually good about it. Coffee weak. They need to up their game. There’s a lot better than this nearby, & nothing to make you want to visit this place a second time. Unless you really like mediocrity.

It felt special ordering a sandwich in Sandwich. Usual protocol with hand sanitizer and face masks. Due to the face masks, the waitress misheard my husbands order, so he got a ham sandwich instead of tuna- she offered to re-make but he ate it anyway! It was simple and tasty. Clean, and toilets out the back.

The food came promptly and we had scrambled eggs on granary toast with salmon. Very tasty and filled a hole!! The place is by the main square so easy to see. There were tables outside too which helps and we had seen them in use earlier when the weather was OK.

Many times in Sandwich but our first visit to this cafe as a result of the 'eat out' offer. Took advantage of the sunshine and sat outside people-watching after a brief wait for the table and chairs to be thoroughly sanitized. Pleasant, efficient service. Toastie and baked potato, both with salad garnish, were delicious as were the slices of cake to follow. The latte was perfect and unusually for a cafe, piping- hot.

Poor customer service. Order and at before being served yet wait at counter being ignored whilst working on some other order. It’s almost as if your a distraction and an inconvenience to them. Rarely does one come across such a place where you feel sorry to be a customer. I noted the reaction of staff to folks trying to engage and be complimentary only to be met with a short recognition and a back as staff walked away almost too uninterested or ‘busy’ to listen properly. Not so for a local young chap who got drooling service and unparalleled attention by staff on duty. Such a shame in great location. Sandwiches overpriced.

We visited Sandwich on a busy Saturday afternoon in August. The shop was quite busy and whilst the person taking the orders at the till was very slow (think she might have been training), once we ordered it only took about 10 minutes to get our food. There is a good choice of fillings and the sandwichs were delicious. Very fresh bread and fillings. The small side salad which comes with the order actually tasted lovely - clearly local produce. The coffee and tea were high quality. The staff are nice but need to get a bit slicker. Really worth a visit if you fancy a nice (none packaged) sandwich.

The Sandwich Shop was very good for a snack lunch and well situated in the town centre. Our party was of ten persons and did call the week before our visit to book, but on arrival the staff knew nothing of our booking and advised they never take bookings, a mistery. It was a glorious day and were not busy so they said we could sit outside and pull all the tables together, which we did ourselves !!!

"Let's have a sandwich at the sandwich shop in Sandwich!" thousands of visitors to Kent must have said. With that kind of name recognition actually knowing how to make a sandwich is hardly necessary. We waited 40 minutes for our order for four toasted and four untoasted sandwiches, because "we only have one toaster and it only toasts one sandwich at a time". Mine at home does two. When I expressed doubt that the wafer-thin plasticy-textured plasticy-tasting slices in my "earl of sandwich" were beef, the waitress brought out the plastic packet they came from to prove it. Give this one a miss.

I visited this cafe when it first opened so was willing to return today. Instantly put off by menus that had faded and run inside curling laminate, very poor selection offered. We weren't acknowledged when we came in. Ordered drinks instead of the lunch we had hoped for - my hot chocolate was served in a mug which should have been put in the bin. When we stood up to leave, we discovered that the seat cushions obviously hadn't been cleaned recently because the dimples were crammed with muck and dust.

This Sandwich shop in the square facing the Guildhall is part takeaway but seats 14 and one infant in a high chair. The menu is only clear when you look behind the counter, but includes soup, sandwiches to order, and some light items such as scrambled egg on toast. This came on white or granary bread, with salad, and was followed by a less common cheese scone with butter pats. Externally only Lavazzo coffee is advertised on an A board, and comes small or large. There are more seats outside, but this was not the climate for them. The café also includes local items for sale, including cards, and a selection of magazines to read. Usually busy they must be doing something right, and although not fussed over, felt welcome enough. Toilets not inspected and looked like a short outdoor stretch was needed.

As the children had gone back to school we thought we would treat ourselves to a rare lunch out, and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted by a polite waitress who took our order and our drinks were with us in less than 5 minutes. They were fairly priced and hot which I like as many coffee chains these days make the drinks warm. When our sandwiches arrived shortly after they were generous in size and very tasty, lovely side salad and coleslaw too. We will be visiting again and without a doubt the best cafe we have visited in sandwich, and over the years we have visited a few.

Stopped for sandwich (toasted) and coffee. Noticed that tables outside were not cleared so I should have expected slow service. Coffee took nearly 15 mins. to arrive but was hot and not too weak. After 30 mins. asked for money back for sandwich as had an appointment and had to leave. Sandwich then appeared but no good to me as I had to leave and didn't have the time, or inclination, to eat "on the hoof." Money refunded, begrudgeingly. Pity there were not enough staff, or better still, I was told that there would be a delay. Used to be very good.

Fascinating to learn that the Earl of Sandwich had the choice of Sandwich or Portsmouth for this title, so had he chosen differently we might all have been eating Portsmouths. Doesn't have the same ring to it. It was late afternoon so cake was the order of the day not a sandwich. Surprisingly there did not seem to be too many sandwiches on offer. There a wonderful looking gluten-free polenta-based cake on offer. Although this was not required for dietary reasons, it looked too good to miss and indeed tasted fantastic. Sadly the drinks were not of the same standard - hot chocolate searingly hot but not of good quality. The location is good, right in the centre of Sandwich, and the legacy and brand should allow this place to excel. The cake shows that it can do it, but there would appear to be some work to do.

visited sandwich again on tuesday and had to pop in as last time I visited it was lovely, it didn't disappoint at all, I wanted ham but the young lady explained that they hadn't received their order so unfortunately I couldn't have it so I chose something else, it was just as good lots of filling a nice side salad and a cup of tea all served by a warm and pleasant young lady, I must say the staff are an asset to this lovely cafe.

Sandwich is my hometown so I love coming back to visit. We stopped at The Sandwich Shop for...a sandwich of course! Unfortunately, we were never able to tell if it was good or not as it never came. The drinks arrived very promptly and were brought by a younger waitress. My husband ordered the food at the counter and then rushed to the bank as they only take cash. After 10 minutes, another waitress who was older, told me that they didn't have any ham as their butcher had not delivered it. She asked me if I wanted pork, but unfortunately I do not like pork meat. I asked if they had chicken or turkey and they did not. She then said she would go to the butcher to pick up the ham and returned with it around 5 minutes later. We thought it would be a quick process to get our food from this point. Not so unfortunately. After we had been waiting for 30 minutes (in total) my husband went to the counter to ask how long it would be as our parking was due to expire.He went to the counter and the younger waitress did not look up. He said "excuse me" and she replied "Yes?!" As though he were an inconvenience. He asked how long the food would take she said "we've got a lot of orders, what one is yours?" You would think that given we had already been waiting half an hour and required a ham 'pick-up' we might be next on the list? After 5 more minutes of waiting we decided to pay for our drinks and leave. There was no apology at all. Many things in this world can be corrected with a simple apology and some good old-fashioned customer service. I understand that deliveries sometimes don't happen and places get busy, but when you treat your customers like they're an inconvenience and can't provide a simple sandwich in half an hour...then there's something a miss. I have given two stars instead of one as the drinks came promptly.

Having spent the best part of the Bank Holiday Sunday at the annual Sandwich festival (which I must admit was a little lacklustre), we decided to go home before the fireworks that were scheduled for much later. But, having spotted the Sandwich Shop whilst enjoying the ambience of the live music earlier on in the main square, we thought we would have a last drink before heading to the M2. And so it was we walked in to this really quite pleasant café, close to closing time at about 4.45pm.The lady who served us was pleasant, and having ordered 3 teas, a latte, and a piece of cake (the last one left), we sat down. After 5 minutes or so, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tea was brought out to us in some charming tea pots, with decent china cups. Tea tastes somehow nicer from china! The piece of cake was moistly delicious! We left happy, and with a lasting memory of the Sandwich Shop as a great place to have food and drink. Prices seemed good too!

We visited the Sandwich Shop and were VERY pleasantly surprised. The staff and service was great - nothing was to much trouble - and the staff did everything they could to please us as customers. The food and drinks we had were excellent.

The cafe sits on a corner and is very small, although they manage to fit in enough to seat about 20. The food is priced very reasonably and their cakes and scones are delicious. They also have a very good lunchtime menu, again priced very reasonably and delicious. Highly recommend this cafe.

Popped in here for a light bite the other afternoon and we both had the jacket potato with tuna. The jacket potato was on the small side but cooked perfectly.Coffee tasted fine and there is a nice bright feeling to the place.Toilet is out the back and basic but functional.Overall good place to sit back and watch the world go by.

A great little refreshment stop while in the centre of town. Quality food, friendly staff and such a nice selection at affordable prices. Parking is very close with just a two minute walk. Some really interesting people to talk to if you decide to sit outside, with a great view of the town square and the Guildhall. Thursday is market day in the square with a nice selection of local produce.

Purchased a breakfast stick and it was very very tasty, coffee was rather small for a regular coffee but next time we would happily buy a large one. Highly recommend this place, it was my first time but would certainly use again.

Dined here with friends on a Saturday evening. Very helpful and attentive service in a lovely location in Sandwich. Food fairly good. This is no fine dining but decent food, nicely prepared and relatively tasty. I had a pork chop with Wardolf salad which was fine but my bugbear is the chips were not homemade but were likely bought in as frozen. Wife’s cuise de confit de canard was tasty with fresh vegetables. Pleasant evening and enjoyable enough so worth a score of four.

We go to the rock rose a lot and the staff are amazing and always friendly. If it’s free they know which table we like and always seat us there. The food is lovely and always well cooked. We have even booked for for Christmas Day. Keep up the good work.
