Had the Caribbean wrap and it was amazing, huge, too! Bonus points because the lady and the man were very funny. Will definitely come back.

I normally have a breakfast bap/wrap when I go here and the service is always good and the food very tasty but they also have a variety there from a greasy breakfast bap to jerk chicken sandwiches!
I believe it's a family/close friends business which I think it's always good to see in London as now there seems to be a poxy Starbucks on every corner and I always prefer these cafes to a Starbucks!
I recommend, loads at my work love this place!- Service

Great sandwich bar with plenty of options like ciabatta, buns, etc. all seems to be made in house and tastes homemade! Tiny place but gets busy over lunch! Only a few seating spots outside so mostly takeout.. You get tasty and stuffed chicken bap for 6.50£.. great deal! Great staff, really friendly!

Bankside Sandwich Bar, located at 142A Southwark Street in London’s SE1 district, is a cherished independent eatery renowned for its hearty, freshly prepared sandwiches and warm, personable service. This small, unassuming, family-run spot has become a staple for locals and office-goers alike, offering a welcome alternative to the nearby chains in the bustling Bankside area.
Dropped by for a quick breakfast and had the Bacon & Cheese Sandwich for £5 — fresh, satisfying, and perfectly toasted. The lovely service made the experience even better. A clear 5 out of 5 for quality, value, and heart.- Service

A corner that somehow gives a home feeling QAQ. The lady was so kind and made a beautifully filled Cajun chicken sandwich to start my long day. Very tender, juicy, slightly crispy at the corners, and covered in cheese.
Look at the abundant options in the menu and inside the counter! (Sometimes the microwave is used to heat up food but food seems to be homemade so I don’t mind microwave here in the simple and homelike shop :) And bap/toast with brown bread options!- Service

Long queues during lunch hour piqued my interest, tried the flame grilled chicken sandwich and BAP on different occasions. The line moves quite fast which is ideal during lunch hour. Can understand why they always draw a lunchtime crowd - simply delicious!

Great spot for lunch! Busy during the lunch period, be prepared for a queue but it moves fast (it’s well worth the wait). There is a few seating options and they offer dine in on plates if you prefer, but great for a quick bite on the run. Staff are really friendly and happy to help with whatever questions. Great value for money, average about £6 for a huge sandwich!

The tiniest little Sandwich shop you’ve ever seen. Every time we’ve walked past there’s someone outside and another in ordering, which tells you something. My daughter wanted a breakfast sandwich specifically from here so we finally stopped by. She got a sausage, fried egg & cheese (butter & ketchup) and swore it was delicious, even pouted once she was done. “I can’t replicate that at home”. Add in the Gentleman and Woman behind the counter were incredibly kind.- Service

Friendly mom and pop sandwich shop with a good selection of toppings to explore. Nothing fancy but hits the spot. Walk around the corner and eat outside the Tate Museum facing St. Paul’s Cathedral. Perfect for a sunny afternoon.
