Sandwich Express

Sandwich Express is a Polish deli and sandwich shop on Albert Place, a terrace off the lower end of Leith Walk close to the boundary with Pilrig. The kitchen uses Polish ingredients to produce freshly made sandwiches and hot food, with an extensive home-cooked menu served at competitive prices. The shop offers breakfast, and its Polish-influenced menu — covering pierogi, home-cooked daily specials and filled rolls alongside the standard breakfast range — sets it apart from the Indian and Chinese takeaways that dominate the Albert Place stretch. Reviews on TripAdvisor note massive portions and genuinely fresh preparation at very reasonable prices. The cafe has indoor seating and WiFi, making it a practical lunchtime stop for the surrounding residential streets and Leith Walk foot traffic. Polish ingredients are sourced for authenticity, and the menu is broader than the name suggests.
