Ambiance and Decor I visited this café and sandwich shop on…read morea Friday afternoon during the lunch rush. It's a small, homey place with simple décor. The lighting isn't the best, as the staff mostly rely on the large entrance window for natural light. Service Quality The staff was kind and friendly. They are more than happy to help you choose a sandwich if it's your first time. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Menu Variety Their sandwich selection is excellent, and the bread is particularly noteworthy. They also offer a couple of iced tea options, which is a nice alternative to water. Food Presentation If you're dining in, your sandwich will be served in a plastic basket lined with wax paper. For takeout, it's wrapped in the same wax paper. Food Taste and Quality I ordered the Spicy Italian, which had just the right amount of heat. It was generously loaded with greens, and the multigrain bread was fresh, likely baked that morning. Portion Sizes The portions are substantial. I was only able to finish half of my sandwich for lunch. Price and Value The sandwich cost about $15, which is on the pricier side. It would have been nice to see it priced around $12. Overall Experience and Recommendation If you're in the area or heading to Horseshoe Bay to catch a ferry, definitely stop by S'wich for a sandwich. I will definitely be returning to try other options on the menu.

I came by on a casual weekday to grab some sandwiches. The price value for what you get is…read moreabsolutely worth it. I got the roast beef, and my partner got the cubano. They both had great meat-to-bread ratio. It gave what it promised, and it felt like a clean eat, which I appreciated. I'd stay away from the coffee though... Maybe it's because I'm from Portland where coffee is literally so good everywhere, but the americano was mid at best.

We must like it, we even bought their cookbook to try some of the recipes, especially the Fondumental, which dragged us back there again and again. It wasn't nearly as plentiful or as yummy as we remembered it, but it's still good. The sandwiches and soups have always been rib sticking and tasty. The ambiance has remained the same over the years, a little dark, but the fireplace and the vintage posters are cool. Our server Gary was excellent, Johnny on the spot with all that we were looking for. Their wine and beer is all local, which is a thing these days. My lobster bisque with the FAB salad hit the spot, and the bread piece was exceptional. The lovely K had the onion soup which she liked although said it could use a little more salt. If you want to enjoy a hearty meal on the North Shore down by the water, but not on the water, give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

Make sure you try the lobster bisque as it's one of the meatiest I've had to date; full of that shellfish flavour. The French onion soup is an eye catcher but the broth could use a bit more richness and flavour. Beef bourignon was suggested and I'm glad I took the friendly waitress' recommendation as it was a warm hug on a deep plate. I'd opt to swap for roasted potatoes instead of the mash but the mash does soak up all that delicious stew. The jambalaya is full of different proteins and if you're a fan of that, then I'd make sure to eat this perfectly cooked rice dish. I finished off with a banana bread pudding which was exactly that, banana bread in that bread pudding form; Personally I was hoping for bread pudding that was banana flavoured but it was still ooey gooey goodness. Burgoo should be packed to the brim with this menu for these prices and the friendliness of the staff!

The desserts looked lovely but I didn't find them particularly memorable. The coffee was okay, although nothing that really stood out. I also tried the turmeric latte and it was much heavier on the turmeric than I was expecting, so that flavour really came through. The service could also use a little improvement. It was fairly slow when I visited and I found myself waiting a bit longer than expected. The gelato was probably my least favourite part. It had a very goopy consistency and didn't taste as fresh as I would have hoped, so I would probably skip that. Unfortunately, my experience just didn't match what I was expecting based on the appearance of the cafe.

At first glance you might say that's pretty expensive for such a small sandwich; and you would be correct. But what it lacks in presentation and content is made up for in quality. Fresh bread made in house daily, and the infamous pesto mayo are the two pillars of this joint. I always go for the chicken with sauteed onions which they will add at no extra cost. Despite its simplicity I find myself coming back time and time again for a well mastered delicious sandy. Bread has a crunch that can't be ignored and as you know good bread or you're dead!

Could not write enough good things about our first experience at Bandra Cafe. I have nothing but praise for this restaurant! Words cannot describe how impressed I was by the chef and his wonderful team. I could literally rave about this restaurant for HOURS. Our experience was absolutely exceptional. It's not often that from drinks to dessert you like everything set infront of you! You can truly feel the care and talent behind every plate. Everything is curated down to the smallest detail, and the food is absolutely amazing! This restaurant left me in a food coma. I was so full I couldn't even move but that's when you know the food was really good. What truly sets this experience apart is the owner himself. His warmth, humility, and passion for his craft shine through in every bite and every interaction. From the moment we walked in, we could tell this place was going to be special. The food was absolutely delicious--every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavour. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients and put real care into every plate. The service, impeccable. Professional and you are treated like you are their best customer at that moment. Bandra Cafe is one of those places where both the food and the service make you want to come back. The first thing that hit me was the smoke and sizzle of the Szechuan Tikka Sizzler. I wasn't ready for this level of heat!! And don't even get me started on the Quesadilla- it's absolutely scrumptious! The truffle fries are a non-negotiable! And of course I had to jump on the dirty soda trend! But the deliciousness doesn't stop there because the Chilli Chicken was pure satisfaction. And my summer mocktail era starts now with this Chili Mango Refresher. Let's just say my cravings were officially handled with the Bang Bang Cauliflower. And a good latte goes a long way! The cutting chai just fixes everything! Every dish was full of flavour, cooked to perfection, and presented beautifully, making it hard to pick a favourite. The food had solid flavours that left us satisfied. The atmosphere is beautiful and lively with a great mix of elegance and comfort that makes the place feel special yet welcoming. From the very first moment, the owner and staff went the extra mile to secure a table for us, offered insightful recommendations that made each dish a perfect choice, and, above all, treated us with such kindness and genuine warmth that we felt right at home. Staff is top level service! You can tell real care and time went into how everything was prepared and presented. That extra attention shows. The attention to detail and dedication to quality shine through in every bite. What really stood out was the ambiance: the decor is stylish, warm, and inviting, making the whole dining experience even better. The decor, lighting, and music created an incredibly comfortable space that made you want to stay longer. Overall, Bandra Cafe is one of those rare places that manages to deliver on both food and experience. I have nothing but top tier, quality experiences and would recommend this place to anyone. Top-notch service, super friendly people, and a cool atmosphere. A place you'll want to return to, again and again. If you're looking for a place where great food, and phenomenal service come together effortlessly, Bandra Cafe is the place to go. This place is definitely a vibe! If you're looking for a restaurant that nails the food, mocktails, and atmosphere all in one, then Bandra Cafe is the place to go! I'll be dreaming about this place until my next visit! This was my first time at the restaurant, and I can attest with much confidence that it will definitely NOT be my last. Do yourself a favour: drop by this place. I promise--you will not regret it.
