Just below Avalon’s famous hangout, Bar Elvina, is Sandy’s, the latest takeaway sandwich shop that has been earning raves from the beachgoing crowd for its simple but healthy choices of quick orders.
Once a retail store, the owners of Bar Elvina had been eyeing the street-facing space because of its very convenient location. At first, Andy Emerson thought they could open a bottle shop when they have secured the lease but then decided on a sandwich and salad bar with a focus on takeout orders.
Sandy’s offers just a handful of choices for customers who do not want a complicated menu. Whilst the menu is simple, it does have an interesting and highly-recommended Prawn Dog sandwich (King prawn dog, leaves, pickles & cocktail sauce) which will leave diners wanting more.
Admittedly, Andy said that first-timers will likely think twice about trying their seafood sandwich. However, most eventually trust that it’s going to be finger-licking good as it comes from the same team as Bar Elvina, which upholds the highest standards for its food and service.
Most of the ingredients for the sandwiches and salads — such as peppers, tomatoes, green beans, chillis, and lemon — are grown from the rooftop garden up the same building. Thus, diners ensure that they are not just eating healthy food but the ingredients are always fresh.
Sandys can’t be missed as its fit-out is a lovely and trendy pink shade with Turkish marble benchtops and cedar lift windows. The space reverbs a pleasant and casual beachside vibe.
The takeaway shop got its name from its sandy beachside location, where most people forego shoes and get cosy and comfortable in such a relaxed atmosphere.

“Finally a sandwich place, that just makes great sandwiches! Epic post-workout/ surf lunch that really hits the spot. Chicken schnitzel sanger is our go-to. Ingredients are always fresh and the bread quality is on point.”
