Fried chicken sandwich, tuna melt, hot ham and cheese toastie; doughnuts go early.

Why go

A converted corner shop turning out generously filled sandwiches, all made fresh, and the model many Melbourne sandwich shops copy. Expect a queue.

Time Out ranks it #33 on its September 2026 cheap eats list, with a menu of seven hot and five fresh sandwiches. It has grown into a small group (a seventh deli was due in Carlton in May 2026), so treat it as a reliable sandwich counter rather than a one-off.
