    I kept passing this by, because there never seemed to be anyone in there....and frankly, I wasn't sure if it was a restaurant or a deli or what.  But I'm so glad I finally made it in!

    On first glance, the sandwiches seem to be on the pricier end of sandwich shops.   Though some run below $5, my turkey sandwich was closer to 8, with no sides.  HOWEVER, this sandwich was huge, packed full of meat and veggies.  I would have payed more for this delicious sandwich.  The bread was also soft and fresh and amazing.

    They have a wide variety of sandwich options, plus potpies, mac and cheese, quiches ( i think) and a variety of other options that I can't wait to try.  This has definitely been added to my list of favorites in the neighbourhood.

    Cabbagetown gem!  An awesome place for a quick lunch bite or take out.  The sandwiches are good and prices are decent.  I've heard a lot of good things about their chili and keep missing it as its a hot item.  Will post a review after having it too...

    This awesome sandwich shop is attached to St. Jamestown Steak & Chops, so already you know the meat they put on their sandwiches is going to be good.  For $4-7.50 you can get a wide variety of sandwiches and wraps from Egg or Tuna Salad, Ham, Salami, Pastrami, to vegetarian options like veggies and cheese, grilled cheese, or P.B. & J with Banana.  

    They have a great selection of salads and hot dishes too.  You can get cabbage rolls, meatloaf, or mac & cheese.  They offer freshly squeezed lemon and lime aids, and don't forget the gelato for dessert.  If you're looking to relax and enjoy a hot beverage they brew fair trade coffee, big leaf tea, and hot chocolate.  For a cooler treat enjoy a fresh fruit smoothie.

    On my visit I opted for the BLT with cucumber.  After a few short minutes the lady behind the counter presents me with a behemoth of a sandwich that I could barely get my mouth around.  I estimated that there was 8 pieces of bacon on this thing, and not just any bacon, thick sliced bacon.  For $7.41, which included a large chocolate milk, it was a great lunch.

    The deli atmosphere is great with huge windows and high ceilings that look out onto Parliament street and the side patio.  They have 4 tables and a bar to eat at, or you can lounge on the patio in the shade of a giant tree.

    I tried the Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich and was not disappointed. The sandwich tasted fresh and was so thick with meat I had to nibble at the edges. The pickles they garnished the plate with were also delicious.

    Although a sandwich and a can of coke came out costing me $9+, I would definitely come back. It's hard to find a great sandwich in this city and this place can definitely provide you with that.

    St. Jamestown Delicatessen was full of faces that felt familiar and were very friendly. It has big windows so you can look out into Cabbagetown while you eat. The atmosphere was pleasant.

    I can imagine this place being very busy at lunch time. I went around 3:30pm on a Sunday and it still had a steady stream of customers.

    Nice place, great sandwiches and a nice selection of prepared food. Some items are on the pricey side but portions are generous and everything is quality.
