Great sandwich this morning, generous filling including protein (which is well appreciated), tasty, and a good price. Just what I needed! Thanks Sarah!

Stopped in to pick up lunch for myself and my mum and was met with such a joyful, friendly atmosphere. The staff were absolutely lovely—genuinely enthusiastic about their food (especially the bacon, avocado and chicken mayo mix!) and full of kindness. There was a little mix-up with another customer’s order, and they handled it with such grace and generosity—it really stood out. We ended up having a lovely chat, and I left feeling uplifted, with a delicious sandwich made with care. Highly recommend if you're in Kemptown—amazing people, great food, and a real sense of heart.

A hidden gem for tourists but an absolute community staple in Kemptown. Sarah goes well out of her way to support so many members of the community. And the homemade millionaire shortbread cookies are absolutely AMAZING— do not skip out on dessert!!!

A very friendly lady almost convinced me to go vegan. Had a small salad bowl which was delicious and filling. 10/10
