WOW

I visited when I was absolutely starving one day. Left more than satisfied and with a huge grin on my face. Sandwiches are so full of flavour and cookie that perfect salty sweet choc cookie. Big yes from me!

Delicious and fresh!

Such friendly vibes and the only Vega in the village ! Yummy sandwich choices - hard to decide- but I had the Smokey Tempe Reuben. Bread crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle and soaking up some of that golden mayo.

Winner Winner Sandwich Dinner

Cute vibe, super quick service, and well priced for a huge sandwich with vegan ingredients! The tempeh Reuben was AMAZING! So great to see something like this in Sydney that is similar to my regular Smith & Deli in Melbourne. I want to come back and try everything! Bonus points for Cher blasting on the speakers the week of Mardi Gras!

Totally overrated.

I tried eating here twice before and failed, since they usually close or run out of stock before their declared opening hours. The bread tastes a bit doughy, maybe not enough salt, but still pretty good. I ordered four different sandwiches to see if I liked any of them, and I felt like I paid for two huge slices of bread on each and a bit of a salad: almost no tempeh, the eggplant tasted "meh", and my husband didn't like any of their options. I think I still left half of the bread after eating, and never went back.

Pros: Sort of healthy

Cons: Bad opening hours, Not all options available, runs out of stock, Too much bread and salad, not enough filling

Delicious but perhaps I was unlucky!

I love fully vegan places and this one is great. I got the Tempeh Reuben; AMAZING soft and fluffy sourdough bread, fresh and crunchy coleslaw…HOWEVER for $13.50 they definitely could’ve added a few more tempeh strips (there were maybe only 2 tiny thin strips in mine). When looking at other peoples’ photos, it seems I was unlucky as other Tempeh Reubens look like they pack a punch of tempeh.

Amazingly delicious soft and chewy choc chip cookie, at $5 each they’re definitely a treat!

Fast and friendly

Yummy fresh sandwiches. The permanent menu has all your favourites like Reuben, BLAT and Miso Eggplant and there is always a special as well.

Oh and don't forget to get one of their cookies, scrumptious.

The sandwiches are ready made in the open kitchen so you can just grab and go or stay to eat. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

Tasty sandwiches

I wanted to try all these amazing options that they’re offering!! We took one each and they were very good and tasty, but we weren’t too full after that (the portion could be a bit bigger it’d be great)

Brutalist venue, wholesome sandwich

My title refers to the unique design of this shop. It's like a narrow concrete cave with few furnishings. I imagine when they close the place looks abandoned. I guess this is cutting edge in old sydney town, and I haven't quite decided if I hate it. What I am certain about, is that I hate ACDC and that's what they were playing non stop inside. But onto the topic of the food which is more important!

I looove tempeh so I knew exactly what I'd be getting based on the other reviews mentioning the tempeh reuben, but I can't deny I was tempted by the whole sandwich selection! Sourdough is one of the worst breads in the world, and I wish they had an alternative bread, but I exercised my jaw to gnaw my way through it and was rewarded with the hearty and delicious filling. I also treated myself to a cookie, very coconutty but satisfying.
I will be back, perhaps with BYO pane di casa if that doesn't get me thrown out.

Best sandwich shop in Sydney!

Joe’s Sandwiches are amazing! The Tempeh Ruben was exceptional and the BLAT was equally as good. The bread was so fresh as well. Will definitely come back here for lunch during our time in Sydney!

Great vegan sandwich

Joes is a small takeaway cafe that states it closes at 3 -I got there at 2 and it looked ready to shut down. They only had one type of sandwich available- the Reuben so I bought one .. all pre-made plus a cookie. They preferred cash but couldn’t break a $50 bill so reluctantly took my credit card. The Reuben was huge and quite good. Loved the bread , generous amount of mustard. The cookie only had 2 chocolate chunks in it and was pretty oily.

Pros: Hearty vegan sandwich, Quick service

Cons: Limited options, Prefer cash but can’t break $50 bill

Excellent sammies!

Killer sandwiches! Honestly might be some of my favorite vegan food from this trip. It is worth mentioning that at least when I went, the sandwiches are not made to order. The create a certain amount and then sell those, so show up earlier rather than later if you’re hoping for the full menu selection.

Discovered that place few month ago and I can’t say how much I love it! They are using my fav bread and as a french it is hard to find good bread in Sydney but this one is delicious. The sandwich is so tasty and delicious I am so glad we have a place like this in the city perfect for a lunch break !

Pros: Delicious sandwich , Possible to order ahead with Hey You , Never disapointed ahah
