Sunny Side

Windsor

Endorsed and loved by Style!

As the home of feel-good sandwiches, Sunny Side takes the humble sanga and cranks it up a whole lot with fresh ingredients and downright sublime combinations. Their small but mighty menu includes a weekly special that’s a must-try before it’s gone. Plus, we don’t say this lightly, but Sunny Side has the best breakfast sandwich in Brisbane with free range scrambled eggs laced with kewpie mayo, smokey bacon, kimchi mayo, caramelised onions, and American cheese on thick cut Shokupan Bread.

Tippler’s Tap

Fortitude Valley and South Bank

With a beer in one hand and one of the sandwiches here in the other, you’ll have yourself a match made in heaven. The subs and sandwiches at Tippler’s Tap are hearty and sometimes a little sloppy, in the best kind of way. Think Cuban mojo slow cooked pork shoulder, swiss cheese, house sour pickle, sliced ham, and barbecue sauce with a side of fries, of course.
