Lawrence Bang Generous, Hearty Portions on Quality Bread
Soft, substantial bread and generous fillings ensure a satisfying, hearty midday meal on the go.
The sandwich was remarkably tasty and fresh, packed with a generous filling that added a hearty touch to my mid-day meal.
Discover with Daroy Inventive and Unconventional Flavor Profiles
An unpredictable, daily-changing menu offers imaginative recipes like ham and grapefruit or butter chicken with onion bhaji.
I’d thought ham and grapefruit may be a weird combination, but they know best, and it tasted delicious.
Jessica Luff A Rotating Daily Selection That Defies Routine
A tightly limited, constantly shifting lineup of sandwiches keeps regular diners curious and exploring new tastes on every visit.
I was hesitant at first because this isn't your typical sandwich shop, so the offerings are unique (and there's no set menu).

Discover with Daroy Tuna Sandwich
I just had one of their tuna ‘dooches’ on my lunch break, and it was truly supreme. Bread was pillowy soft perfection, the tuna and lettuce filling was real top quality stuff.
Leigh Ramsay Carrot Sandwich
I also like the carrot sandwich a lot. I ordered it because I like carrots, and it said it was the main ingredient,. I was happily greeted with a heaping of carrots in my dooch.

I decided to give the roasted cauliflower with Esme sauce and other deliciousness, and absolutely YUM!!!!!!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Are sandwiches made to order or pre-made?
Sandwiches are made in advance and ready to grab immediately at the counter rather than toasted or prepared to order. This keeps the queue moving very quickly during lunch breaks.
Is there a set sandwich menu?
No. Sandoochie operates with a rotating menu of typically around three creative sandwich options per day, alongside changing daily baked sweets and salads, rather than a permanent set menu.
Should you expect a long wait during lunch?
Yes. There is often a queue out the door during peak lunch times, but because sandwiches and baked items are pre-packaged and ready to go, the line moves fast with minimal waiting.
Is there outdoor seating available?
Yes, outdoor seating is available with tables set up outside the shop in the lane.
