    The owner does not serve tap water. 😱 Are we back to 1998? People have health conditions, and as a service you have to provide basic nature element, especially as I just paid 40 euros for sandwiches breakfast.

    The sandwiches are well put, they're firm and not collapsing, yet packed with fresh ingredients. The waiter was super friendly and glad to help with information for the order, spoke great English. He recommended iced white chocolate latte which was awesome, not too strong, not too weak with soft flavour. Would visit again if I'm around the area some day. (:

    Really nice flammkuchen and pastrami sandwich.

  • 5/5 Dine T. 2 years ago on Google
    Super nice sandwiches! I took one that the guys behind the bar recommended and loved it! Super nice staff as well, only thing that wasn’t 5/5 was the coffee but since it’s a sandwich place it still gets 5 stars.

    Sandwiches were tasty. Not a lot of sitting space, but two long tables outside. L (24cm) sandwiches are more than enough for one person.

    Always love the croques here. Had a small outdoor and indoor seating. Staff was funny and treated us nicely.

  • 5/5 Matthew M. 1 year ago on Google • 143 reviews
    Like Emma said, 24cm is plenty for an individual. I was eyeing multiple pizza shops in the area for dinner - but they are usually a dime a dozen. Took a leap of faith on other people's reviews and I'm now fully satisfied. A nice, hearty toasted sandwich hit the spot. If you want to eat something tasty and feel full after, go here.

    Ich wollte eben um 19.00 Uhr dort mit meiner Frau essen gehen. Laut Internet bis 20.00 Uhr und laut Karte im Geschäft heute bis 21.00 Uhr geöffnet. Leider standen wir verschlossener Tür. Die Bedienung war im Halbschatten am Sauber machen und ignorierte unser Klopfen. Wir waren hier schon öfters und die Croques immer lecker. Aber so ein Service geht gar nicht. Wir sind sehr enttäuscht und hungrig zum Inder nebenan.

    This place is just top for sandwiches you never seen before. Has a lot of different kinds and they are tasty in different sizes. Prices maybe could have been a bit better. Very friendly and serviceable people too.

  • 5/5 Anna D. 1 year ago on Google • 81 reviews
    Amazing sandwiches, maybe the best I’ve had in Berlin. You can choose your size, depending on hunger and the portions are really good value for money. Fresh ingredients and so tasty. And really friendly staff to top it off. Can’t wait to return!

    Gyros M was nice, fresh bread and tasty.meat

  • 5/5 Don M. 3 weeks ago on Google • 59 reviews New
    Schmeckt superlecker mit frischen Zutaten, zartem Fleisch, schmackhaften Saucen, perfekt getoastetem Croque und „gut essbarem“ Aufbau (zerfällt nicht gleich)! Preise sind verdient höher als in der Pommes-Bude und selbst die kleineren Portionen machen gut satt. Solche Läden, wo der Betreiber mit Passion dabei ist und Qualtät liefert, muss man unterstützen, finde ich!!!

    Super leckeres Essen und eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Ganz anders als auf dem Mond. Dazu noch ne Runde Super Mario World auf dem SNES. Einfach eine Klasse für sich.

  • 5/5 Philipp 5 months ago on Google • 16 reviews
    One of my favorite places for a healthy casual lunch or dinner! Go for the salad with pulled chicken 🤩

  • 5/5 Sami V. 4 months ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Ate the New York Style pastrami croque. One of the best meals I've ever had. Staff was super nice also!

  • 3/5 G N. 4 months ago on Google • 3 reviews
    Their sandwiches are not French „croque“ (which was what we expected). They are basically subs, and the toppings are average, did not feel very fresh (we wouldn’t recommend the avocado/omelette sandwich…). to top it off they are overpriced.

    Perfect crispy & warm Sandwich with fresh salad and yummy iced latte!

  • 5/5 iskra r. 2 years ago on Google
    my first tine trying this kind of sandwich, i must say I am impressed, amazing flavours ❤ will order from here again for sure

  • 5/5 Stefan S. 3 years ago on Google
    Really good sandwiches! I had the Feta Salami sandwich with garlic sauce and it was amazing. The staff was friendly and the store itself was nicely done up. I'll definitely be coming back :)

  • 5/5 Shadow W. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing what one can achieve with a sandwich, really amazing, quality kept over years

  • 5/5 Harry L. 3 years ago on Google
    Great Lunch, interesting combinations: Pulled Pork Breakfast and Fischstäbchen Croque Monsieur. Recommend the cheese bread with garlic dip!

  • 5/5 Cloe-Marie M. 1 year ago on Google
    These are the best sandwiches you will ever have. The guys running the shop are fantastic, they deserve a Michelin star. This the most significant attraction in Berlin, a must-see situation. Thank you Formidable!

  • 5/5 Eline M. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good sandwiches! Love the pulled pork one with (lots of) chili sauce! Super messy to eat though, don't choose this for a first date option ;) 💸 Cash only.

  • 3/5 U L. 1 year ago on Google
    Place is nice and the staff are friendly, though a little slow if you're in a hurry. The filling (pulled pork, mushrooms) were fine. The main problem is the bread or buns which are underwhelming. In a sandwich shop that's a big problem..

  • 5/5 Merilyn L. 1 year ago on Google
    We were curious to try this place, so we jumped in for a quick dinner. It's small place, almost not noticeable from outside, but inside it's cozy and inviting inviroment. It was really good! The sandwiches are served in few sizes, we had the medium size each (which is called Large), and it was huge! We could finish only half. The bread is warm and crunchy and the flavors were so good. It's great there are really good options for vegan and vegetarians. Looks great! Was not expecting a sandwich to be that great. Will be back!

  • 1/5 Paula R. 1 year ago on Google
    I am disappointed. The tuna sandwich is tasteless. Nothing interesting than tin tuna on a bread and some salad, 0 flavors. Ordered by Uber eats.

  • 5/5 Konstantin K. 1 year ago on Google
    This place knows what’s up. You got the best tunes from 90s - 2000s entertaining your inner child and making you feel nostalgic while you wait for a wicked sandwich of your choice (they have a solid menu). Once that tasteful, crunchy and juicy sandwich arrives and you take your first bite, it’s FORMIDABLE. An understatement in my opinion. This place solves a quick and easy, YUMMY lunch or dinner question. Perfect!

    Absolutely delicious!! A must visit of Berlin. Well priced and plenty of healthier options too. Went several days ago and we still talk about how great the food was. Highly highly recommend!!!

👍 The queue can get really long in a very short amount of time. We were lucky and waited for about 5 minutes before placing our order. The place was fully packed both inside and outside after we picked up our food. We got the original döner but I was unsure about the sauce they used. The sandwich was...
