Amazing 5 star service received from the Manager and staff here at West Side Cafe. I urgently needed some sandwich platters for a last minute work meeting. The sandwiches were freshly made, well presented and packed full of flavour with a good selection for both vegetarian and meat eaters. I would highly recommend and will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you Brian and Team

I have tried so many sandwiches in London and around the world. Honestly they produce the best sandwiches ever! All freshly made fillings and the staff are so lovely! Would highly recommend. Only thing I would warn is once you try their sandiwches once, you'll be disappointed with everyone else sandwiches in life.

Massive thanks to Westside Cafe & Sandwich Bar who saved my daughter's party when my catering order with another company was cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. Brian was really helpful and lovely, made me some beautiful platters which received great feedback from my guests - the samosas were extra amazing! Would definitely recommend

For over 15 years, I’ve been enjoying sandwiches from this local gem, and they never disappoint. Their bread is always fresh, and the variety of fillings ensures there’s something for everyone’s taste. Beyond sandwiches, their jacket potatoes are a standout—perfectly baked with generous, flavorful toppings. It’s heartwarming to see a place maintain such consistent quality over the years. The friendly and professional staff add to the welcoming atmosphere, making each visit a pleasant experience. Highly recommend!

Feels like going back home to dad’s sandwiches! Growing up in my country of origin, my dad always made me my packed lunch. I’d have literally beautiful (and tasty) sandwiches that my high school peers still remember to this day (hey, i used to share my food, right?! )! When I walk into West Side Cafe, it feels like coming home every single time! The choice of breads, spreads, wraps, drinks and sweet treats feels so inviting and looks so amazing, i struggle deciding what to go for. So, my all time favourite: a half and half sandwich on not-too-cooked white baguette, with tuna/sweetcorn/chives on half, chicken/bacon/chives on the other, and cucumbers on top. Tell me how many places around the world, let alone a busy high street in London, accommodate your desires without blinking an eye and a smile on their face?! (Today, for example, the baguette was ready, cut and buttered and i frowned as a bit too cooked… they know me so well, they just changed it to a rawer one! No questions asked! Go on, judge me) I do not have pictures now, I’d have to add some later… (added a few now!!!) In the meantime I really urge you (seriously not too dramatic!) to go find your favourite sandwich in the West Side Cafe: falafel wraps, toasted, chicken escalope with cheese baguettes, a cheesy ciabatta toastie, or go all sweet with a sprinkly doughnut or go with a healthier option of an oh so good smoothie… awww man, and the vegetable samosa, albeit involves frying… yuuuum! you just must! And say hello to Brian, he keeps the place alive

Secret tip... Only get served by the owner, Brian. Everyone else seems to do mingey portions. Compared to co-op's crappy sarnies, this is heaven old school not cheap, but what is these days

I just love this place. Whenever I'm working around the W5 area I always go and buy a couple of baguettes and a Jamaican Patty. I do end up paying £16 for the three items, but for me its well worth it. There is such a large range of fillings for your sandwiches or baguettes

Everything looks clean and the food looks tasty, I can't comment much because I get egg-beckon baguet.
