Also got a slightly spicy and crisp coleslaw for a cool contrast and a minor dose of vitamins. My tablemates were also really pleased with their orders (a vaguely East Asian glazed chicken with pickled Banh Mi-style veggies and a cold roast beef with arugula--must try those next). Wow. Another reason to visit Cambridge.

Nice, high quality sandwiches. I actually went here two…read moredays in a row while staying in Cambridge. The first day I ordered two sandwiches, the Porchetta and the Jerk Chicken. The Porchetta sandwich has nice roasted pork and a crispy strip of pork skin to top it off. The description says it has a salsa verde sauce. To me, it was more like a pesto-style sauce. The pork was all meat and didn't have any globs of fat that you sometimes find in American pulled pork barbecue. The Jerk Chicken Sandwich was the weekly special. It consisted of several pieces of skin-on mostly dark meat chicken, house made slaw and I think a little mayo. I took off the chicken skin. It wasn't crispy and I don't care for much chicken skin. Even doing that, it had good flavor. A nice blend of spices and a little spiciness. I didn't eat it right away but it was still good. Like I said, I ordered this sandwich the next day. This time I ate it soon after ordering. The roll was still warm and slightly crunchy. I liked even more when eating it "fresh." I removed the skin on this one too. I used the take out window on the side and they were pretty quick, even though there were about four or five people in front of me. I'll definitely go back when in town and craving a sandwich.

It's nostalgic and the best sandwich shop. When I studied abroad in London back in 2006- I was so…read morelucky to live up the street and got to eat here everyday! I've come back to visit London several times since then (most recently in September) and its amazing how all the shops have changed on this block but this sandwich shop still remains! I am sooo glad it's still here! Seriously the best sandwiches, hot dishes such as Samosas- still cheap and fast service! Love that the locals come here everyday and know they can get the best sandwich or hot food from here! I'm obsessed with their simple bacon and egg sandwich (all comes on a baguette) I get it with no sauce of any kind. My second choice- chicken with corn. Simple yet so tasty. No need a million toppings-

This is the best sandwich shop in the world and I look down on anyone that disagrees. Just kidding…read more The sandwiches and employees here are pretty amazing though- as are the prices! I came here 9 years ago when I was a student and vowed to come back to try more tasty treats. I did just that and brought my husband this time! We ordered: -Tandoori sandwich (hot) -Peri Peri Chicken sandwich (hot) Both were so delicious, huge, and under 3 pounds (which is unbelievable)! I would say peri peri chicken was the tastiest. The flavor was on point and had a good kick of spice. If you want to save money and are in the area-maybe to go visit the V&A or another museum, come grab a quick meal to go here first and then have a picnic!

The baguettes are a nice size (about length of your forearm), fillings are a bit meager but you only pay about £3/baguette so it's very reasonable.

Whoop Der It is! First to Review! That's right y'all.... Hop on that tube and get on over to Roots!…read moreThey have great WiFi too! Roots is a super cute and modern coffee shop located in the city center of Chesham. While there are a few chain coffee shops in the area, I highly discourage you going there. The quality of coffee and service is just not the same as what you'll get here. Delicious latte and Almond Croissants, served by a gorgeous, tatted English guy. They need to make sure he works 7 days a week so we can catch him at work. Just sayin :-) I was here for both the caffeine fix and eye candy. Still not sure which was priority. Their selection of pastries is impressive, and left me a bit torn on having to choose just one item. You'll also notice that the plants inside are for purchase. I visited Roots on two separate occasions while staying with a friend in the area. They were very busy on the Saturday morning for breakfast. A lot of foot traffic, with families, and elderly couples. Pretty sure I stood out like a "hot guy from California" in the village, but oh well. OR the only Asian guy in town. This is a typical coffee shop you would find in San Francisco or Los Angeles. I'd totally camp out here with my laptop during my days off work if it was just a bit closer to home. Seating is mostly at the tables, but there is also a little lounge area with a large soft. Hint: If you sit here, you can stare at the gorgeous man behind the counter (perfectly normal bahavior). I wonder if they'll deliver a latte to Los Angeles.....

The vibe is chill and they sell other extras like plants. Fully recommend going to Roots rather than one of the larger "those who will not be named" franchises. Whenever we go past there is always a buzz there. Whether that is a small group going in for lunch and some coffee or the individual person on their MacBook, clearly choosing to work in the comfort of Roots with good coffee close by. The outside seating is always a win on a hot day, especially paired with an iced coffee or tea.
