S'wich Cafe in North Vancouver

I love it here. I live here. Without S wich life isn t worth living.

Best pulled pork sandwich I have ever had in my 50 years. Still drooling

Youre not going to find a better sandwich on the north shore! Always fresh, always delicious, get there fast enough so that some of the popular sandwich dont run out!

Best sandwiches on the north shore!

Sandwich was outstanding. Very fresh and flavorful. First class.

I m disappointed to share this review after being a loyal customer for many years. Today, I placed a standard pickup order for nine sandwiches and was informed of a 15% mandatory gratuity, which I accepted and paid. However, when I went to the café to pick up my order, I inquired about this policy for standard pickup orders (as opposed to catering orders, which I understand due to the additional time, preparation, and presentation required). I was taken aback by the staffs curt response and the lack of a clear rationale for the charge. To me, it seemed like arbitrary price gouging. I was told that the gratuity was due to the space the order occupied on the grill and the extra time it took for the employees. When I sought further explanation, the employee mentioned only that other restaurants have similar policies but did not provide a detailed rationale. It seems to me that most places would prefer to sell more to their customers rather than impose what feels like an unfair charge. Please correct me if I am wrong, but there seems to be a clear distinction between being served at a sit-down restaurant and picking up a takeout order at a café. I have yet to encounter a restaurant that requires a 15% auto-gratuity for pickup orders. I hope the 15% gratuity is worth the lifetime value I would have brought to the business. This interaction left me feeling undervalued as a customer. Given this experience, I regret to say that I will not be returning to this restaurant. If the café had provided a logical explanation that made sense, I would not have felt compelled to write this review.

A gourmet surprise find! Loved their sandwich options, and delish coffee.

Great sandwiches! Must try for sure.

Attempting to try all the sandwiches! Extremely satisfying options.

Great food.

Awesome quick service, tasty, and comfortable.

Favorite lunch spot! Totally recommend!

Awful place with the worst service I ever had, over rated. Sandwich tastes good but need proper bigger clean kitchen. It was messy and dirty. Sure, here it is. People should know about your service and policy. Unfortunately, I don t think you will ever improve it tho. Poorly organized and managed, and unfair. They often forget some orders. We had go back to pick up missing items again three times already this year. What a wasting time! I gave them chances to do better (hoping never miss the items) and ordered few more times. Charging 15% for pick up is non-sense. I didn t get any service and I told owner to not willing to pay 15% for missing items and additional order $104.70 pick up again after using delivery doordash$574.97, she said cancel the additional order and do not take the foods. Wow. Really? This is wrong way to treat a big order purchase customers for a long run. You are losing your business with 25+ people and their friends and family as well. We decided to will never go back to order from here. This isn t for us.

Constantly getting the order wrong, they never have an enough coffee after 12. Been short of coffee so many times after I payed and they never offer a refund.

Great coffee, delicious and large sandwiches and breakfast wraps. Love this place!

If you re wondering what to get you should definitely get the Korean sandwich. Hits the spot every time. Especially if you like some spice, I get mine extra spicy. To. Die. For. I forgot to take a photo but I inhaled that sandwich.

Wow!!!! What a treat! Just did business with the owner and he kindly treated myself and my staff to his delicious sandwiches!! All of us are extremely impressed and so happy to now know the existence of this beautiful gem!! Thanks Erik!!!

Wow! The Immaculate Sanchez was good enough to make me start house-hunting in West Vancouver. Great sandwiches.

Some of the best Sandwiches I have had on the NorthShore. My girlfriends latte was exceptional. Great spot!

coffee is not too bad, me and my family normally go almost everyday since it s quite local to us. but today we went in and my father just ordered a plain coffee, but they said they were out of coffee?!? how are you out of basic coffee it wasn t even that close to closing, we probably will not come back now. also, i know you normally offer different coffee at the same price and you guys did not, that is why this review is being left. still very disappointing, maybe close your store once your out of coffee or at least make it known if you won t be selling any. don t keep a coffee shop open if you aren t gonna be selling coffee. thanks.

close your store early if you won t have coffee available until closing!

Yeah lovely little spot. Great food, friendly service, not overly cheap but the quality of food is definitely up to the price.

Great homemade-tasting sandwiches! Ordered a beef and cheese+egg. Generous size.

These guys are seriously the best. A hidden gem in north van, the best sandwiches on the north shore ! Also lovely service Vegetarian options: There s several vegetarian options, and also a vegan sandwich.

Wayyyyyy over priced!

Delicious sandwiches and friendly service. Well be back!

Awesome

Amazing coffee and awesome vibe in there! New fave local coffee shop :) Looking forward to sitting out there in the warmer seasons!

Great sandwiches...and so nice to be able to choose multigrain. Lots of veggies. My new favourite sandwich go-to.

Sandwiches are very good. Needs more seating inside . Food

Super friendly staff

Very tasty sandwiches, friendly service and nice premises. The immaculate Sanchez is my go-to. Thanks folks!

The sandwich tastes great! The store clerk s service attitude is excellent

Fantastic sandwiches.

Amazing sandwiches - you cant go wrong. And the crew is super friendly Vegetarian options: Some of the sandwiches are vegetarian Parking: Plenty of free street parking Wheelchair accessibility: No steps: just roll in

Best sandwiches ever!

A little pricey for what it s worth but still delicious.

Good sandwiches with full of content! You can sit in the cute patio in the back yard. People here are always nice, upbeat, and helpful.

Nice looking neighborhood spot with decent quality ingredients. Unfortunately after trying most of the menu, the sandwiches are very mediocre and have almost no meat. Just not worth it and would not recommend. A shame because its a super convenient location. If theyre trying to save money to remain profitable, which I get, theyd be better off reducing the size of the bread (which is larger than necessary) so the proportions work better. Also just need more interesting flavors, the menu sounds amazing but the actual flavors are quite muted.

This place has a nice vibe with a cute little backyard seating area. It is clean and well kept. The employees are helpful and friendly. But unfortunately the sandwiches don t live up to the hype. The bread was a bit dry, and the fillings seem a bit flat. Good to try once but won t try again.

Best sandwiches ever! The Immaculate Sanchez is so good. A true gem on the North Shore.

The Immaculate Sanchez is one of the best sandwiches Ive ever had. SO flavorful, I couldnt get enough of it.

Best sandwiches in town. The Immaculate Sanchez is our favourite. Super delicious!

Awesome sandwich shop with fresh ingredients!:)

Delicious sandwiches, delicious coffee.

Best sandwiches ever. This is my go to lunch place when I want to treat myself. Immaculate Sanchez, Spicy Korean Style, 3 Cheese with Honey Ham & Bacon Bourbon Jam, and Roast Beef are my favourites! All best with the soft and fresh white bun (not a fan of their brown bread). Coffee is great too.

popped in here while waiting on a MEC order to be fulfilled. was told the immaculate sanchez was the most popular and it delivered; great name and great sandwich packed with flavorful ingredients and loaded with chicken. the thing that really surprised me was how good the coffee was, too. not sure if it was the beans, milk, barista, or combo of all 3, but delicious oat milk flat white. looking at the past menu photos its clear prices have been going up (like everything), but the value is still there and its clear the super friendly folks working there are treated well and enjoy their job, so money well spent. dollars are votes and this was an easy choice to support a local business. will have to return to try the veggie sandwich and the other bread option. also didnt realize there was a garden seating area!

Great sandwiches, will have to come back and try more.

Best sandwiches Ive ever had! I get a different one every time Ive been and theyre all unique and amazing in their own way! Highly highly recommend!

Best sandwiches on the north shore for a reason. Quality ingredients, fair prices, friendly staff. Go out of your way to stop in here and be rewarded with an honest and delicious sandwich.

We have been ordering your sandwiches for some time now and LOVE them all. We have have tried every sandwich you offer at least 3 times over. Additionally, we love your potatoe salad and the gluten free snacks. I would love to see a new sandwich on the menu to try. Or maybe a new sandwich of the week to see what sticks. I think you guys nailed this business concept and would love to see more of your sandwich ingenuity down the road.

Each of the artisan sandwiches created by the Swich Cafe Ive tried were among the best Ive ever tasted, and Ive tried multiple of their offerings. The ingredients (like the pulled-pork, and roasted beef/chicken) were instant stand-outs on their own -- clearly house-made, vs. mass-produced. And the unique combinations of them with other ingredients like house-made mayos and mustards were incredible, with the end product being even tastier and more delicious than the sum of the parts. Some genius-level sandwich artistry going on here! This is a North Shore gem -- I very highly recommended them!

The sandwich was bad per se But the bread is too thick and not toasted enough I found it to be dry and more like a cold sandwich which I wasnt expecting I had the Sanchez and I did like the hot sauce they used

Best sandwich in north Van by far

Great food and coffee, but we had our order forgotten about 2 out of the last 4 times we ve been there, and one of those forgotten orders, the food wound up coming wrong anyway. Not great when you are trying to feed your kids, having them wait for 45min for a sandwich (not an exaggeration).

Very good, friendly service. We had the Moroccan chicken. The filling was very good. I found the whole grain bun too dry (stale?). Will opt for the white bun next time I go.

The soup of the day was good. First time I visited. I will get back here soon as I have a job close by.

Great sandwiches!

I order the chicken pesto sandwich from here usually as my Friday lunch treat. My absolute favourite sandwich shop. The bread is delicious, the chicken is soft, the tang from the sun dried tomatoes (& I usually HATE tomatoes) just make it a perfect sandwich. Love supporting these guys, definitely give them a try!!! Side note, their baked goods are really yummy too . Particularly the raspberry brownie! Well done guys

Amazing good and healthy sandwiches. Large portions, fresh ingredients. The atmosphere and staff are great as well

Had the turkey, brie and cranberry sandwich on wholemeal. Awesome sandwich, great coffee, cool vibes inside, amazingly friendly staff and very good price to quality ratio. Definitely recommend going here for a top sandwich and for a real treat

The best sandwich on the north shore.

Amazing sandwiches and great employees great vibe there

Fast, friendly service and delicious sandwiches! Well be back for sure.

Went there yesterday to grab a sandwich, and it was the most warm and welcoming experience! All the ladies there are great, and the FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE! One of the best sandwich/cafes in Vancouver! Will definitely be back, thanks again you guys

Who didnt love homemade sandwiches?! This place is great.

Great food, great staff, great patio. 100% would recommend.

probably the best sandwiches on the north shore!

Boulevard classic. Best sandwiches in town. Review done.

Had heard about this place. It was a small, cozy place with friendly staff. Great sandwiches packed generously with yummy ingredients.

Great vibes and food

BEST sandwich place! I have tried almost every flavour of their sandwiches, and I have throughly enjoyed each one. The flavours, the bread, the quality, the customer service, just perfect!

AMAZING sándwiches and paninis as well as excellent service and delicious espresso coffees. Tina is fabulous and always makes my day when I visit.

Nice staff, great latte and a ham& egger will make your day! Thanks guys

Really delicious sandwiches! Glad we moved into the neighborhood and discovered this place. Wish they were open later so I could have it more often when I craved! My favorite hands down is the Sanchez but everything else Ive tried is super yummy too. The team is friendly and helpful too. Parking: Parking is right upfront. Easy access on the main road.

Ive tried 5 of their sandwiches now, and theyre all fantastic.

Yummy Cubano!!! Bread was very fresh and tasty, and the sandwich was big enough to share. Iced coffees were great too, and the cafe has lots of seating and had a fire playlist going too ;) Will be back for sure!

Went there for breakfast and came back for lunch. The staff is great and friendly but the important thing is the food is amazing

The best!

Best sandwiches and coffee!! I love the Marrakesh Moroccan chicken sandy and their vanilla iced latte! Also can buy loaves of their bread to take home.

One of the best sandos ive ever had

Best sandwich in North Vancouver. Made with thought and care, the staff are friendly and the food is amazing. You pay a little more but its worth it. Vegetarian options: Theyve got some new veggie options I didnt remember being there last time.

Favorite lunch and coffee spot in Vancouver. You can t go wrong with their menu, every sandwich is delicious. My personal favorites are the Moroccan chicken and pulled pork. And gluten free bread too! Super friendly staff, great little patio out back, and good wifi to hang out and do a little work.

aesthetically pleasing and great coffee

Great sandwiches but popular so get your order in early.

I have been using s wich catering for a few years and they are always amazing. Great selection of meat veg and vegan selections. They are currently not offering salads through catering but if you ever get the chance you must try the potato salad!!

Super coffee great sandwiches ! Beautiful staff

Amazing sandwiches with amazing service.

Great food!

So good. Ive been looking for a good sandwich place ever since I moved here. Finally found it!

My favorite sandwich shop on the North Shore. The highest quality ingredients and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended.

The best sandwiches on the North Shore. Probably the best in the Lower Mainland. SO GOOD.

Amazing local sandwich shop with hands down best customer service. Love that the vegetables in there sandwiches are fresh from their personal garden behind the shop

If I ever have a craving for a good quality, well made sandwich, I go here. The Up Your Alley sandwich is my absolute favourite thing on the menu. I am not a vegetarian, but this sandwich is that good. All of the items on the menu are great and there s something for everyone.

The best local sandwiches in North Vancouver!!

Came here randomly and left with surprisingly tasty sandwiches! I ordered the roast beef sandwich while my husband got the 3 Cheeses With Honey Ham & Bacon Bourbon Jam. The sandwiches were on a foot(?) long bun and sliced in half and pressed down on a panini press which was a very nice surprise! I love me a pressed down toasted sandwich! Makes them easier to eat! My roast beef sandwich was a little bland but I really enjoyed the 3 cheese sandwich. Id get that one again.

I stop here for a sandwich *every time* I drive through North Vancouver. Literally. My favourite is the immaculate Sanchez!

This used to be my favorite sandwich shop in all of Vancouver and greater area. Today I ordered one of my favorites, Moroccan chicken and the whole time it felt like chewing on dry chicken and bread.. my jaw is sore now, thats how bad it was... the sweet and spicy slaw was dry and tasteless with no sauce, the chicken was dry, the spread was almost nonexistent or tasteless and I didnt even taste the havarti I guess it was left out as well.... Definitely not anything like what their Moroccan chicken used to be like... I can drive to Safeway and get a better sandwich than what I just endured for half the price! Very disappointed

I would eat here... heck I would work here ;)

Yummy big delicious sandwiches all made fresh to order Can have half for the smaller appetite

oh yum. I always feel good about supporting this place because A) who doesn t love a good sandwich with tasty options and lots of veg B) the staff are just so friggin nice and welcoming! One of my favorites

Best themed sandwiches in North Van. Trust me I know I tired them all.

Best sandwiches on the North Shore and very friendly staff. Highly recommend

I got the chicken pesto on multigrain and really enjoyed it. Delicious sandwich, good ratios of chicken, greens, cheese and toppings. Fresh red onion is a nice touch, really like the raw fresh onion rather than pickled veg. I ll return to try another. Husband got the roasted beef and cheddar, also really good.

Really tasty sandwiches!! Tried it for the first time over the weekend - called ahead and they were ready within 10 minutes. Good sandwiches and good service! All the ingredients looked & tasted extremely fresh - we ordered the Up Your Alley & The Sanchez - highly recommend!

Ive been coming here for years, theyre always amazing. But today!! My day has been crazy, I forgot a mask and was wearing a handkerchief, and the staff gave me a fresh mask lol. Not only is my mocha amazing I feel like I can go about my day a little more organized. Thanks for going above and beyond guys!

Awesome sandwiches, mouth watering, friendly staff and your foods always delivered with a smile!

Nice backyard patio. Sandwiches and coffee .

Decided to look at reviews before coming here for a sandwich. Saw many people post that this place was the best sandwich place around. Not even close to the truth. I d rather eat at subway. Ate half and didn t even want to eat the rest. To bad it cost 13 dollars! If you want the best sandwiches I suggest going to queensdale market at queens and lonsdale. Waaaaaay better sandwiches and only 8.99 for a large. You won t be disappointed like I was today.

It s okay. Sandwiches are good but the prices a little high for the portions and so is the wait. I like supporting local so I would go back but definitely not a frequent visit.

Phenomenal sandwiches. Great team of employees. Recommend the moroccan chicken s wich

That was one fine sandwich. Will be back for the other ones! I came back and had another amazing sandwich!

Discovered Swich by accident and went back a couple of times in the few days we were in the neighborhood. My favourite was the mufaletto and my partner enjoyed the gluten-free options. Well worth a visit.

Very yummy and friendly service.

Every single sandwich is beyond good. Coffee is solid too. Every Neighbourhood needs one of these.

Great soup, great sandwich

I ve only been living in Vancouver for about three weeks. I ve eaten here four times now and it s been incredible every single time. I get the Immaculate Sanchez and an iced macchiato. 10/10 recommend

Terrific little sandwich shoppe. Had the curry lentil kale soup it was outstanding. Coffee menu,sandwiches, baked goods breaking sandwiches too. Lots of parking. Very accommodating staff.

Great sandwiches! The Korean sandwich is so delicious.

Its just a small out of the way place with absolutely wonderful sandwiches and the coffees darn good I had a Americano large with cream where I like it and it was very good thanks everybody at switch cafe for a nice visit I had with my daughter and I had a roast beef sandwich with cheese and on multigrain bread. Was very tasty Ill definitely come back again thank you drew

Sandwich concepts are fun and they use good ingredients. The bread quality however is a bit lacking and turns an excellent sandwich into just a good.

Had a sandwich to go and it was great. Tasted wonderful and would recommend. Might be better if it was grilled

Wow!

Amazing sandwiches with funny names

Great staff. Excellent coffee and amazing vegan sandwiches.

Very nice and cozy local cafe with delicious sandwiches Everything is fresh and as they said everything is local They have a very cozy patio on the back All sandwiches are $12.5

Amazing sandwiches

My boyfriend and I visited here for the first time today and were not disappointed. The pulled pork is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Friendly staff, great service and even better coffee. We will be coming back!

Get the el Cubano. You wont be disappointed.

Great sandwiches and always great service

Best sandwiches in north van

Ridiculously good sandwiches at this North Van gem.

Amazing service

Amazing sandwiches. Great service

Delicious sandwiches! Highly recommended the roast beef one

High quality sandwiches. Call ahead to order, then youre able to walk inside and pickup. The place does get busy. No dine in during covid. Recommend the pulled pork sandwich. All sandwiches are $12.50.

Came in this morning for a coffee and breakfast burrito, and the service staff was great! Willing to be talkative, super friendly, and happy. My burrito was so delicious that I had to come in for lunch too.. and the Korean Beef sandwich was outstanding. Big fan!!

Stopped by after a long bike ride, not a fan of sandwiches but their menu looked really creative. I must say the BEST sandwich Ive had ever... The Mee Jung MMM was so fresh, filled with a perfect unique combination of ingredients then grilled, yum. Hubby had the pulled pork with gluten free bread, loved it! Were coming back for sure. Great friendly service. Thank you

Delicious and ready right on time! Everyone had something different, and we all thought the sandwiches were awesome. The TBC, Kim Jong Mmmm, Marrakesh Moroccan Chicken, and the Immaculate Sanchez. Wicked good!

Outstanding. Best veggie burrito I have ever had. Cant wait to be back to try the other items on their menu. Great hot sauce too.

Love their sandwiches!

No attempt to be vegan-friendly. Slow service. Over-priced and overrated. Tried a few times over eight years and never got the hype.

Lots of selection of delicious sandwiches. Love their coffee too. Staff is friendly.

My partner and I go here once a week. Possibly the best sandwiches in the Lower Mainland. Nice people, too.

The sandos are incredible. I visit this place once every few weeks. The Up Your Alley with Moroccan slaw is the bomb, but the Sanchez is a classic.

Drool worthy!!! The TBC is my fav but they re all amazing. Coffee is excellent and lots of nondairy options. Excellent and friendly staff too. A north shore staple!!

Great sandwiches

What more can I say! Absolutely delicious food. The sandwich Mecca! Go on a journey and make the S wich.

Yummy sandwiches and lots of selection. A local favourite on the North Shore. Excellent food and good service. Fresh tasting with unique sandwich choices. Good coffee and baked goods too. Highly recommend! Parking is limited and its a popular spot -- local tip!

Always great customer service and food.

BEST sandwiches and service, ever!

One of those places where the price for a sandwich actually IS worth it. Delicious.

Stopped in here for a quick coffee before catching my bus and I was delighted by the service and the coffee. I was greated by the barista right as I walked in and she seemed very knowledgeable of the coffee they had. Also cool to see that they use all local products and were trying hard to be environmentally friendly. The coffee was great, so Ill definitely be back to try some food next time!

Id say they make the best sandwiches on the north shore!

Incredible food. Great atmosphere. This is a small business doing it right. Must taste!

Simply the best sandwiches and wraps!

Great sandwiches and an open back patio. Perfect way to start your day

This has become one of our go-to spots when we visit Mum in North Van. Delicious sandwiches, and we like the fresh greens with the house dressing. The back patio is delightful in nicer weather.

Cool spot for a casual dine-in or take-out... sandwiches are pricey but plenty of folks willing to pay it, so I guess value is all relative.

Amazing sandwiches. Great coffee. Can get busy and slow, but worth the wait.

Super delicious coffee and great sandwiches! Definitely recommended

Words cant describe how good these sandwiches were. I can tell how much they care about their craft just by how they took time to wrap them neatly. To me the little things speak volumes because it shows how much attention youd pay to the other, bigger things.

Quick. Fast. Yummy.

The staff was very nice and friendly, but the execution and getting orders taken care of could have been handled better. **they would GREATLY benefit if they had a 3rd or even a 4th panini grill.... the wait times for a sandwich is a little much Food is great, dont get me wrong But the time kills

Pulled pork sandwich

Came a couple of weeks ago based on numerous recommendations. Overall good sandwiches, prices a bit high (12.50+tax), service was a bit slow but understandable for a weekend. I got the Korean beef sandwich and my girlfriend (vegan) got a custom made sandwich based on servers recommendations. Both sandwiches were good, but I took off a star for the server putting the wrong label on the sandwiches... Girlfriend unwrapped her labeled-vegan sandwich and was about to take a bite when I stopped her, noticing it was mine. The server seemed a bit out of it when we were talking to her (might have been nursing a bit of a sunday hangover). Not the end of the world, but not super reassuring either. Would come back again to try some of the other menu options but wouldnt overall recommend for vegan.
