Meltd

Founded by Steve and Jason, two local lads with a love of the food industry. Meltd is the newest sandwich hot spot in town! This takeaway sandwich shop offers an unbeatable menu of hot cheesy Meltd sambos and we for one absolutely love every single one. These buttery sourdough melts include the Cheesus (which contains exactly what you think), Honey Buffalo, Notorious P.I.G and the G.O.A.T. We have to admit that their monthly specials are quickly becoming a monthly office tradition for us too.

Top Shelf Coffee Bar

Located just beside Galway Coach Station, Top Shelf Coffee Bar is the ideal place for you to get your toastie fix before you hit the road or after you arrive into Galway. It may take a village to raise an child but it take a town to make one of nicest sandwiches in Galway. Using fresh sourdough bread from Magpie Bakery, produce from McCambridges, Tom and Ollie, and Ballymaloe Foods, Top Shelf Coffee Bar have created a little bit of heaven in food form. Top it all off by pairing these cheesy toasties with some delicious speciality coffee and you've got yourself the perfect lunchtime combo.

Slow Roast

Once you're finished drooling over their social media pics, make the spin out to Slow Roast Sandwiches & Coffee location in Loughrea and drool over the real thing. Sandwich enthusiasts Sarah and Conor have taken their knowledge of making incredible toasted sambos and created a popular takeaway sandwich shop with two locations in Loughrea and Athlone. We adore the classic Hang & Cheese, with slow roasted ham from a local butcher right around the corner, but their small and focused menu is packed full of flavour no matter what you go for. However, their new breakfast toasties is proving to be a huge hit and we simply can't pick a favourite - could you?

Greens & Co.

If you are after a sandwich that's packed with flavour, the vegetarian and vegan restaurant Greens & Co. have a menu that won't disappoint! A lunchtime favourite of ours, their pulled BBQ sandwich is to-die for! Additionally we can never resist one of their delicious bagel sandwich and if it wasn't hard enough to pick just one to mention, the Mediterranean toast is everything you could want in a sandwich. No matter what you opt for we can guarantee your tastebuds will thank you!
