Ordering a mediocre restaurant sandwich you could have easily slapped together at home is disappointing. Thankfully, this sort of dissatisfaction won't happen at Café Santropol. The inventive sandwiches served here are carefully created, only to leave you wishing you could successfully reproduce them on your own.

The ingredients of each sandwich seem random and make you wonder how much hit and miss was involved before each one was finalized, but the flavours work well together and make for an interesting change. Some creative choices include the Midnight Spread (cream cheese, peanut butter, honey, nuts and raisins) and the Northern Lights (cream cheese, olives, and mellow spices spread, sprinkled with roasted pecans). If you're not adventurous when it comes to food, you can play it safe and opt for something like ham or tuna, which are just as good. All the sandwiches are ridiculously enormous, served on thickly sliced bread, equating to about four pieces of your average sliced sandwich bread. As if this wasn't enough, there are even three-layer sandwiches on the menu.

The environment can be described as "hippy" for lack of a better word and is very laid-back, although at times more than it should be.  People have complained that the service is too slow and you can anticipate waiting a long time for your meal. This is why you should stop by on a beautiful day and sit in the garden terrace, where you won't mind lazing away a couple of hours.
