tl;dr:

  • Don’t eat at The Sandwich Guy, at least in their SM Dasmariñas branch. You’ll just waste your money. Unless your standard of quality is Jollibee, then you’ll be blown away.
  • Just go to Subway instead. If you don’t like them for their corporate history, then just make your own; it will be cheaper to boot, so win-win.

According to my brother, The Sandwich Guy is not good. So I tried it.

This is what I ordered, and the prices as of 10 Apr 2023:

Item Price,
Veggie Delight 120.00
Coffee with unlimited refills 60.00
TOTAL 180.00

What I got:

As you can see, the sandwich does not look too appetizing. Yes it’s hexagonal, but the novelty wears off quite quickly.

Taking a bite, I was disappointed; this is just like the failed breakfast sandwich I make. The coffee tastes diluted; I saw how it was made, and it’s just pre-ground coffee put into a drip type machine. But it’s unlimited, so I guess I’ll just drown with it my regrets giving money to this chain. Sadly, I managed to drink just three cups due to slow service. To be fair, there seems to be a lot of orders during my visit, so I won’t take points away for that.

In comparison, I pretty much only order this in Subway:

  • Veggie Delite: parmesan oregano bread with cheese, all veggies, mayo, and Chipotle sauce. When feeling fancy, I will request additional cheese.
  • A cup of brewed coffee

My bill for that tallies to ₱200.00 - ₱300.00. Yes, that is about twice to thrice that of The Sandwich Guy. I guess you do get what you paid for.

By the way, Subway just opened its branch in SM Dasmariñas. If The Sandwich Guy wants to stay open, then they should up their game and improve their not-so-good food. But then again, there are many Filipinos that are fans of Jollibee and other Yum! brands, so perhaps they don’t really need to change anything in order to survive. Time will tell, I guess.

As for me, I’ll pass on this chain. I’ll just buy Subway or make my fail sandwich breakfast which costs a lot less.

Aside: what the hell, Google?
