Ben & Sally's earns praise for fresh ingredients, a friendly staff, and a welcoming ambience, with generous portions and fair prices that deliver solid value. The breakfast range is a recurring highlight, especially the sandwiches and wraps, with vegetarian options and standout combinations like a sausage and egg wrap and a biscuit based sandwich, all described as satisfying and flavorful. The Cubano and other artisanal sandwiches often look great and taste even better, and homemade treats such as rice crispy squares and chutney frequently steal the show. Soup and salads are noted for quality and value, with several mentions of a creamy tomato or spinach soup. The space is clean, cozy, and cohesive, contributing to a relaxed vibe that suits quick meals or a casual visit with family. Service is consistently described as attentive and welcoming, helping the place feel like a neighborhood treasure worth returning to for breakfast, lunch, and beyond.
By far the best breakfast sandwich in the area. Great value & incredibly fresh. Cesar salad had amazing homemade dressing & the soup was made with love. 10/10 come here for a cosy brunch for two that's well under 40$
First of all, upon entry the vibes are immaculate. Walk in & hear Frank Ocean on the stereo, good sign. Atmosphere is really nice, clean & cohesive aesthetic. Comfortable place to be.
The food was great. We had the breakfast sausage & egg wrap. Very good portion. Flavors are great, ingredients are fresh. Tastes amazing. The price is really fair at 7.50$ each. Great value. I am eager to try some of the sandwiches next time I come back. The Cubano looks great. We also had a large homemade rice crispy which was nice.
The service at Ben & Sally's is so good. The staff are very kind, welcoming & helpful.
All around, Ben & Sally's is a hidden gem & I definitely recommend it!
Great food here! Not just the sandwiches, even down to the amazing chutney! I have often eaten in the shop, & once i got it packed to go, it was fantastic every time. Chicken salad is great, but the brisket is to die for!
They also have really well priced Breakfast Sandwiches, & they're open for weekends Brunch! I've only tried their biscuit -based sandwich, because it's so good I don't want to not eat it. Perfect texture, like a scone but better.
Best, when they pass me the interac pad, there is no'tip' option offered. I asked about this, & they answered'actually they pay us enough to not live off tips'. I like that. I still tipped but I felt better about everything.
Food is super good, music is peak, the guy running it is very nice, overall ambiance is incredible & definitely one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had.

Run, don't walk, to Ben & Sally's ASAP! Incredible value breakfast sandwiches (I highly recommend the BELT), the best iced tea I've ever had (?!), & lovely vibes. Support this amazing neighbourhood business!
Best breakfast sandwich in the city, hands down! Not only amazing but also huge. The biscuit is incredible. Can't believe I only discovered this place now!!!
For $10 I got a quality breakfast sandwich that was so filling I had to save half, plus a drink & potatoes. It is not diner food - this is fancy-sandwich-core. Feels illegal what a good deal it is.
After walking by this place many times I finally decided to stop in & try the breakfast sandwich. I got the trio & I was shocked at how large the sandwich was. It came with a small salad that was twice the size of small salads everywhere else plus a drink all for a great price. There's some charming places to sit in there, including a huge sofa, & metal chairs that look uncomfortable & austere at a glance, but when you sit in them, they are so cosy. At a time when it feels like so many restaurants are trying to grab everything they can from you, this place feels like it gives you more than you asked for. Five stars easy.
I recently became a regular of this sandwich shop, & I have to say it is consistently a fantastic experience! The staff is super welcoming & the food quality is top-notch with fresh & flavourful menu items. Their breakfast options are unbeatable, especially for the price-you really can't find a better deal in town. It's rare to find a spot where both the food & service shine, but this place absolutely nails it. Highly recommend, five stars all the way!
Lovely food, at a great price. Visited two weeks ago, & it was such a nice ambiance, lovely food. I highly recommend the breakfast sandwich, it's maybe twice as big as a Tim Horton's sandwich, but with homemade biscuits, eggs & meat patties. The iced tea was perfection as well, just like an American sweet tea, not too sugary. Will definitely go back.
Not sure if I was unlucky & the cook had an off day or if I had really high expectations based on the previous stellar reviews. Unfortunately, after spending $40+ here, I won't return. There are better sandwich places in Montreal. We tried 3 different sandwich or paninis. The breakfast sandwich we tried is quite big (for the price) but the cheese was literally Kraft Singles, the bacon was burnt- I love crispy bacon but this was burnt. It was supposed to be on a biscuit but it tasted more like a ciabatta bread. The other 2 paninis were nothing special, the protein part (ham, turkey, etc) was not enough compared to the amount of salad inside. They were quite dry, not enough sauce or dressing. There was only one staff member taking care of everything - cash, food & vintage clothing , who was nice & attentive. The inside of the store is spacious. Since they keep the doors open, there were some flies & wasp around.
