The bread
As close to the real deal as I am able to make!

Think more local sando shop, less Family Mart.

If you’re going to do a veggie one, do a good one.

Why buy a pass?
Choose the hour in which you want to come, and the $5 cost of the pass comes off the price of whatever you order.
Don’t want to grab a pass? No problem! Come anyway. Just no guarantees!
Thank you to everyone who grabbed one, it means a lot. Walk-ins are very welcome too, we’re setting sandos aside for you. Can’t promise one, but we’d love to see you.
Who’s cooking
Chael MacDonald has helped start a few restaurants in Edmonton, and worked in several. This one began on a trip to Japan, discovering sandwiches. The idea came home as a couple of loaf pans in his luggage. He bakes the shokupan himself. It’s not so easy to find here.
