It's a decent little sandwich place that does good bacon butties etc. in the morning and nice coffee. It is very small with no seating, so is really takeaway only. They might have some seats out in the better weather. Food is pretty decent and excellent value. The lady who served me was friendly and pleasant. Would recommend.

Best place to get your lunch or breakfast from if you like to decide what you want in your roll or sandwich. Propper coffees as good as Costa just doesn't Costa as much. And the cakes are

Having walked past this place on my way to the station for years, I finally went in the other day and it is just brilliant. The lady who runs it is lovely and she made me the best tuna salad roll - really quickly. The coffee is excellent and nothing is over-priced. Not walking past there any more if I can help it :-)

By far the best bang for your buck you can get in dover maybe kent. Fast service and you can get a sandwich how you actually like it. Super convenient for a fast good breakfast when I'm heading to work

Just the kinda place I needed it to be. Inexpensive with high quality food. No complaints; really liked my sandwich. Plus, banter with the lady at the counter was fun.

Excellent food made by the most charming lady! Three of us got either an egg and sausage or an egg and bacon sandwich, and we all loved them! Soft bread, delicious sausage or bacon and freshly fried egg - all for a reasonable price. Plus, we had a delightful conversation with the lady as she fried the eggs for our sandwiches. Bring cash or go to the cash machine around the corner like we did. No card accepted.
