This petite, takeaway-focused sandwich shop offers no-nonsense sangas, strong coffees and a few bits and bobs for the pantry. And that’s about it. In the morning, the croque-monsieur (filled with a gooey cheese-medley and double-smoked ham) is your go. Later on, every sandwich on the lunch menu is a crowdpleaser. There’s also a good range of salads, sweets and pastries.

This takeaway-focused old-school sandwich shop makes some of Sydney’s best (and biggest) sangas. But you don’t need to take our word for it – the lengthy queues that form outside it every single weekday at lunchtime should tell you how good these sandwiches are.

This tiny spot does fresh sangas during the day and decadent meaty sandwiches and margaritas at night.

A formidable sandwich shop meets-deli-and-bakery. And this isn’t your average sanga store – think kangaroo mortadella with fermented chilli, and chicken sandwiches with plenty of crunch, thanks to walnuts and apple, plus lamingtons, fancy Vegemite scrolls and house-made jams and pickles to take home.

Picture a baguette loaded with meat, carrot, pickled daikon, liver pate and coriander stalks. Now add birds-eye chillies so intense they’ll make your eyes water. Now picture a line of banh mi addicts wrapping around the block, hankering for Sydney's most famous banh mi. That’s Marickville Pork Roll.

A bakery from the Bodega team. Visit for baked-bean toasties, jam doughnuts, sausage rolls and quince danishes – with a Mimosa or Bloody Mary on the side.

The filling of this tonkatsu sando here is as classic as they come: a big crumbed pork cutlet slathered in Bulldog sauce.

There’s always a line for this Mascot bakery’s excellent banh mi.

Try the house-made brisket pastrami.

A deli, wine store and by-the-gram pasta shop from the Ragazzi team. You can also take a seat inside for a quick aperitif and sandwich.

A neat sandwich shop serving the best things between bread.
