The Best Sandwiches in Perth for Your Next Delicious Bite

Simple yet complex, comforting yet exciting, and endlessly customisable, sandwiches are serious business in Perth. And with a fresh class of sandwich-slinging hotspots on call, there’s no shortage of deliciousness to choose from.

Whether you’re keen on one of Perth’s classic continental rolls, an elevated banh mi or a classic bakery option, Perth’s sandwich elite can deliver.

After eating our way through the most delicious, belly-filling sandwiches in Perth, we’ve rounded up our top picks for maximum eating pleasure. Happy eating!

The Coffee Cabinet

One does not simply walk into The Coffee Cabinet. Acquiring a sandwich here generally takes a little extra effort, with much of the cabinet clearing out by midday (yes, they’re that popular). Order ahead (the smartest option to avoid missing out) or arrive nice and early, and you’ll be rewarded with cotoletta parmi focaccias dripping with basil pesto, Italian sugo, creamy stracciatella and melted Italian provolone. Paired with one of their tiramisu, pistachio or biscoff iced lattes topped with sweet and creamy cold foam, we’d say it’s all worth it.

Sitchu Tip: The Coffee Cabinet is only open weekdays from 6.30am until sold out, so you’ll need to work it into your work week.

2/9 Sundercombe Street, Osborne Park

Piccolo Deli

Piccolo Deli brings a slice of Southern Italy to Subiaco, serving up soul-warming, homemade meals, flavour-packed lunches, and indulgent dolci. The real star here, though, might just be their fresh-made paninos, filled generously with Italo deliciousness like chicken parmigiana, cotoletta or conti roll favourites. Open daily, it’s your new go-to cafe for authentic Italian eats, no passport required.

385 Rokeby Rd Subiaco

Preston’s Deli

A sandwich bar that also specialises in matcha? Heaven is a place on earth, and it’s here at Preston’s Deli in Highgate. The menu is American diner meets Aussie nostalgia, with fluffy white bread sandwiches, a dedicated muffin menu (the breakfast kind, not the cake kind) and seriously cheesey melts. There’s also a diabolical twice-cooked hashbrown that will now live rent free in our hearts forevermore, and the cookies slap too, so chuck one of those in for a sweet post-sandwich treat.

Sitchu pick: Our go-to order right now has to be the sandwich of the moment, the Chicken Caesar. Warm and succulent crumbed chicken, crisp lettuce, salty hits of bacon and creamy Caesar dressing to tie it all together. Paired with an iced earl grey matcha: bliss!

223 Bulwer Street, Perth

North 54

Leederville welcomed North 54 and its modern twist on the classic banh mi with open arms. Helmed by hospo rising star Bac Pham (Petition, Rockpool), this vibey street-food inspired cafe serves up 10-inch house-recipe rolls packed with creative riffs on traditional flavours: grilled lamb meatballs with cumin labneh, son-in-law eggs with tamarind mayo, and roast pork marinated in fermented red bean.

There are gluten-free options, vegan choices, and standout drinks, such as pandan cloud coconut water and Vietnamese iced coffee. Keep an eye out for their weekend specials, too. I recently got my hands on their Vietnamese spin on the hot chicken roll, complete with hot chips and gravy, and honestly I have been thinking about it ever since.

253A Oxford Street, Leederville

Sidepiece Deli

Sidepiece Deli has wasted no time at all slotting into Perth’s sandwich elite. No surprise considering this Swanbourne spot is from the same legends behind Daisies and Other Side. Here, they’ve really stepped up their sandwich game, with a unique line-up that’s big on global flavour.

Craving a taste of Japan? Go for the tomago or fish katsu sando, served on fluffy, shokupan bread. Euro flavours more your vibe? The mortadella and labneh is an easy yes, featuring stacked deli meats, house pickles and pistachio mayo between sliced focaccia. It’s the South Asian-infused focaccias that have us gagged, though. We’re talking onion bhaji and herbed hung yoghurt, poached chicken with curry leaf mayo and crispy shallots, and Keralaan fried chicken with house made kasundi aioli.

93 Shenton Road, Swanbourne

Earls

Opening in the Leederville end of Mount Hawthorn, Earl’s has blessed us with all sorts of comforting, meaty deliciousness wrapped up in hoagies, flat breads and focaccias. Think hot roast beef, braised pork shoulder and melt-in-your-mouth roast lamb that may bring on genuine tears of joy. There’s also a banging crumbed tomato schnitzel and super popular chicken and avo smash. Throw on tator tots and something from the dazzling drinks menu — mont blancs, matcha and booze are all on offer.

376A Oxford Street, Mount Hawthorn

Grandpa Nino

Grandpa Nino (formerly Mortadeli) is still slinging some of the most bangin’ sangas in Perth, and thank the sandwich gods for that. The porchetta in ciabatta? A masterpiece—crispy, juicy, unapologetically rich. The Mare Monti? A deep-sea fever dream, stacked with colossal prawns, lardo, tartare, and pomodorini. And then there’s the mortadella number—pesto, stracciatella, rocket, sun-dried tomato—pure decadence. It’s good old fashioned Italian hospitality in gloriously overstuffed focaccia form, and you’d be a fool to skip it.

23A Hampden Road, Nedlands

Deli’s Continental 

When you claim to be slinging WA’s best conti rolls since 2020, you better deliver the goods, and Deli’s Continental does just that, with perfectly layered meats, premium cheeses, and that signature balance of crunch and flavour that keeps the crowds coming back for more. As well as their signature Conti roll, you’ll find falafel, chicken and their take on the classic Philly Cheese Steak: thinly sliced beef, roasted capsicums, onions and garlic and a whole lot of provolone. Delish!

2/861 Beaufort Street, Perth

Strollio’s Luncheonette

Baker Nathan Alexander and creative Hannah Budge have brought a slice of nostalgia to Tuart Hill with Strollio’s. The classic lunch bar captures the essence of the past, from its refurbished bus-seat booths to its assortment of affordable treats for the neighbourhood’s kids to spend their pocket money on.

A simple but superbly crafted sandwich line-up is the main attraction here: tuna and artichoke melts, mortadella sandwiches with creamy stracciatella and the classic curried egg sandwich, all made fresh daily on super soft house-baked bread. The coffee and doughnuts are also devastatingly good too, so go all out.

68 Lawley Street, Tuart Hill 

Little Loaf Lunch Bar 

If you’ve not spent many an idyllic day in South Freo popping into Little Loaf Lunch Bar, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying some of their ridiculously delicious sandwiches, you’re not doing it right. From fish sandos to tomato caprese style offerings, meatball subs to classic conti rolls, you really can’t put a foot wrong. The delicious coffee and scrumptious cinnamon rolls don’t hurt, either.

2/390 South Terrace, South Fremantle

Satchmo Cafe 

Satchmo Cafe is an homage to New York Jewish soul food, dishing up a heady mix of coffee, craft beer, cocktails, and vintage vinyl. But let’s be real—you’re here for the sandwiches. And trust us, they don’t disappoint. Expect towering Reubens layered with silky pastrami, tangy kraut, and melty Swiss, or a show-stopping Muffuletta stacked with olive salad, mortadella, salami, coppa di Parma, and provolone on pillowy focaccia. The sweet potato and kale pesto focaccia is a sleeper hit, while the rooster roll—Southern-style spiced pulled chicken with stuffing sauce on crusty bread—feels like a warm hug. Other standouts include the classic meatball sub, buffalo fried chicken sandwich, and an eggplant parmigiana hoagie that could convert even the most devoted carnivore. And if the Philly cheesesteak is on the menu? Run, don’t walk. These are some of the heartiest, most satisfying sandwiches in Perth right now.

410 Fitzgerald Street, North Perth

Newin Perth

We love a good banh mi as much as the next person—and this brand-new Vietnamese sandwich spot in Perth is setting a new gold standard. Newin is serving up chef-driven takes on traditional banh mi, and they hit differently. It’s all about the little details, from freshly toasting and making each roll to order to the addition of pork floss and handcrafted crushed chilli on top.

The menu may be small, but it’s perfectly curated. Think crispy pork belly, traditional cold cuts, vegetarian, and Coca-Cola chicken, alongside rotating specials like pork and prawn meatballs. Pair your banh mi with a refreshing Vietnamese iced coffee or a freshly pressed sugarcane or watermelon juice for the ultimate lunchtime hunger-crushing combo.

2/6 Broadway, Crawley

The Grain Bakery

Sliding into The Grain Bakery in Lathlain feels like discovering a well-kept secret—one filled with golden-crusted bread, perfect fillings, and sandwiches that hit just right. Their continental roll is a masterclass in balance, while the crispy chicken ciabatta delivers crunch and comfort in equal measure. The prosciutto focaccia? A lush, flavour-packed dream of rocket, feta, cherry tomatoes, and pesto. Every bite is fresh, every sandwich a winner. Some of the best in Perth? No question.

19 Lathlain Place, Lathlain

Two Slices Sandwich Bar 

If the hype around this brand-new gourmet sandwich shop is anything to go by, it’s a very welcome addition to the Scarborough foodie scene. Fill two slabs of fluffy, freshly-baked focaccia bread with sliced antipasti, fresh salads and delicious condiments of your choosing, or pick from the menu of crowd-favourites. Trust us, you can’t go wrong. 

27/23-27 Scarborough Beach Rd, Scarborough

Peggy’s 

Peggy’s in Fremantle is the kind of place that turns a simple sandwich into an art form. This New York-style deli keeps things stripped back and focused—house-baked bread, top-tier ingredients, and zero fuss. The egg salad sandwich? Silky, rich, and absurdly good (with a vegan version that holds its own). Mortadella rolls, meatball subs, and crispy chicken numbers round out a menu that doesn’t miss. It’s the kind of spot you stumble into once and keep coming back for more. They just get it.

35 Market Street, Fremantle 

The Re Store

A fresh, doughy bread roll, stuffed with ham, prosciutto, salami, provolone cheese, carrots and lettuce – The Re Store conti roll is a firm Perth favourite that’s stood the test of time. The combo of flavours is truly divine, with the saltiness of the meat balanced by the creamy cheese and the crunch of the lettuce. It’s a Perth sandwich that’s hearty, filling, and utterly delicious.

Heading there on lunch break? Be prepared to line up.

Angelo Street Market

Everyone in South Perth knows that if you want a continental sandwich to knock your sandwich-loving socks off, it has to be from Angelo Street Market. Established in 1988, this local institution is beloved for good reason. A true foodie haven, it boasts a cafe, an in-house bakery, and an authentic Italian-style deli featuring one of Perth’s largest selections of international and local speciality smallgoods and cheeses. While their daily selection of prepared meals is top-notch, it’s their epic lineup of sandwiches and rolls that truly steals the show—especially the much-lauded continental, packed to the brim with deli meats, pickles, cheese, carrot, and lettuce. Nom nom.

67 Angelo Street, South Perth

North Street Store 

The team at North Street Store has built a cult following for their incredible baked goods, and their sandwiches are just as legendary. The chicken parmi roll is a flavour-packed knockout—crispy crumbed schnitzel, a four-cheese blend, ham, and a zesty Napoletana sauce, finished with fresh rocket, juicy tomato, and creamy aioli. The Reuben and classic chicken club are also firm favourites, proving that North Street knows how to turn a simple sandwich into pure magic.
