Saul’s Sandwiches – Melbourne – fancy bread rolls along with all-day breakfast items and treats

At the time I visited this place was still open, but now it has shut its doors on 27 June 2024. It is slated to come back with another store in the CBD at a later point. Saul’s Sandwiches have other locations. This was my review when it was open.

Saul’s Sandwiches is located on the ground floor of QV’s food court. It’s located next to Mrs Fields, the cookie franchise. During the Friday lunch hour, Saul’s Sandwiches seemed to be a popular choice for office workers looking for that quick and easy takeaway lunch.

Originally, I thought Saul’s Sandwiches was linked with Sal’s Authentic New York Pizzas, but realised that the spelling was off by a letter. Nevetherless, both franchises have that classic diner menu board look from the United States. The colours and layout suggest the prices are reasonable and you get value for money. (But in my opinion, it’s probably a bit more expensive and doesn’t quite beat just ducking down to Chinatown for a plated meal for under $15.)

I’d been meaning to try Saul’s Sandwiches a number of times, having walked past it during my visits to QV. Each time up until recently, I’d just completed a meal so grabbing a bread roll seemed out of the question. This time, I needed something more portable, something I could eat on the go and this place came to mind.

Thankfully I visited right before the crowd started trickling in for the Friday lunch hour rush. I didn’t spend too long on the menu since it’s relatively straight forward with few select items to choose from.

The server was kind enough to point out the recommended bread rolls. He noted that both Chicken Parma and Smoked Pastrami were popular choices, while the Eggplant Cutlet was his personal favourite. He also noted that all the bread rolls, which are $16.90 each, are toasted except for the Roast Chook and Deli Cold Cuts rolls. I opted for the Smoked Pastrami which had kale and cabbage slaw and their special sauce.

I also asked about their delectable oversized cinnamon donuts and chocolate chip cookies on display. The donut was $5, while the cookie was $4.5, but incredibly they looked so good and freshly baked. (I’ll definitely need to try them next time.)

In the end, having to make a mad dash, I opted for their Oat Milk Latte for $5 because I needed to be able to eat on the go.

The bread roll was crunchy, the smoked pastrami was thick and notable, while the slaw and sauce just perfectly made a delicious bread roll. And I was pretty happy with the Oat Milk Latte as well – it did its job.

Overall I was pretty excited about the meal and it delivered. I’m now keen to try their other bread rolls and maybe, when I’ve got more time, try their oversized donuts and cookie.
