Gone VERY noticably downhill in the last year or so not sure if its switched hands or what but this is not a quality sandwich which is upsetting because I really did like to frequent there but was used to everything we get having the same quality as always but now not so much ): and no they were not busy whatsoever so theres no excuse there. Very sad used to be a great place who cared about the quality they put out

Vegan options aren’t specified so just make sure to explain and they will get it. Salads and wraps are ample and satisfying.

It was a wonderful experience! I ordered over the phone with the sweetest and most efficient young lady. She was very helpful, accommodating and enthusiastic! I had my meal; which was absolutely delicious! 😋 The young man, who delivered was gracious and polite. I’m so impressed, I will order from them again and again. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving!♥️🦃♥️

This is mainly a takeaway place, with an enormous selection of different sandwiches, wraps and salads - I am sure everyone will find something enjoyable. Quality and quantity of the food is very good and the prices are more then reasonable. We had a cold salmon sandwich and a hot barbecue chicken wrap and both tasted delicious.

I really wanted to like the food at Bishco. Their menu is great and their staff, very kind, but it was a let down.
We ordered the artichoke melt and the breaded eggplant and mushroom melt. Both are really large sandwiches but the eggplant sandwich was grilled some more than the artichoke one. Coming to the flavors - the mushroom and eggplant sandwich was bland. It could have done with more flavor. So, a spread or condiment inside the sandwich (like tomato passata or pesto for an instance) could have elevated the sandwich.
The artichoke sandwich did have some flavor to it thanks to the olive spread but everything together just didn't work for me (although it was better than the other sandwich). I thought it was a bit too sour, and something like caramelized onions or garlic may have made a difference in how it tasted.
However, my biggest suggestion to Bishco would be for them to rethink the cheese they are using in the melt. The one in our sandwiches was quite bland but I know that goat cheese/cheddar would have really turned things around for them. Ultimately, great potential and I want to see them doing well.

Cafe Bishco ALWAYS has excellent, freshly made food. There are many healthy options & a great variety of smoothies & desserts, too. The staff is courteous & helpful. Located in a building in Gloucester's historic West End, the building is constructed of Cape Ann Granite & in decades long ago was a bank, an antique shop & other businesses. Best of all they deliver!

My boss and I ordered the Chicken Lemon Rice soup and a pressed BLT sandwich with mayo for pick-up. When she got there to get the food, our order had been given to another customer by mistake. She had to wait for them to make a new sandwich and heat up more soup. My sandwich did not have any mayo on it, and the bacon was crumbly and almost burned. We had good food there in the past but today was not up to their usual standards.
