Shirley Eat More Sunshine

No alterations to sandwiches allowed, even asking for an aioli on the side. Whom I can only assume was the owner felt like that was the biggest insult known to man and refused to allow me to order the sandwich and then angrily told me about other places in Davis where I can get a sandwich without an aioli.

I was excited to try this place because the food does look good. What a horrible way to treat customers. Nobody is this special.

Everything she has to offer is amazing. The breakfast sandwich is the star for me. My all time favorite!

I had the crispy tofu gochujang sandwich and it was so good. Just wish they had more open hours!

Fantastic focaccia. Like, REALLY good. The shop owner/baker Katherine is also super nice. When I went, there were multiple vegetarian options, and one vegan sandwich, which sounded great

We love this place! The baked goods are our favorites, especially the personal sized cakes and loaded biscuits with seasonal fruit. Everything is made in small batches, always fresh and delightful. The thoughtful menu changes almost daily and I love that I can just pick something delicious without having to build my own. It’s always perfect as is! 🌞

I had a sandwich so good it made me tear up a little bit here. (cuke & camembert on house focaccia). the owner is absolutely obsessed with fresh local ingredients and it makes for a really wonderful limited menu. there probably isnt something for EVERYONE but there's definitely always something for me, as a vegetarian.

Very rude, asked if i could alter a sandwich and i was told this is my menu and i dont like it theres another place down the street i can go, thats definitely a way to get customers, never going back, dont recommend anyone to go there if they want a plain basic sandwich, there is no modifying to you liking the sandwich, beyond rude honestly

We just moved to the neighborhood and we are obsessed.

The sandwiches are like no other sandwiches. The focaccia is home made. The ingredients are fresh, seasonal and locally sourced. It’s not just a sandwich, it’s sandwich art!

There are some rules, such as no eating inside, but they enhance the experience: Davis Sq. is a delightful place to eat outside.

We have yet to eat every item on the menu, but nothing has disappointed so far. Excellent coffee and kombucha are also on offer.

I LOVE the sandwiches at Shirley's. The focaccia buns are so fresh and chewy and flavorful, and all of the toppings are fresh and chosen with care. I particularly love the house-made pickles on some of the sandwiches. My top Shirley's sandwiches of all time were 1) cheddar and salami with giardiniera pickles and 2) bacon, cheddar, and peaches. Since the menu changes so frequently there are always new options to try - though sometimes I'm sad that I can't get the same thing I got before! The only sandwich I've tried here that I didn't love was a tofu banh mi which was too heavy on the tahini-based sauce. I recommend going on the early side as sometimes certain sandwiches start to run out before noon on weekends.

The best breakfast sandwiches in Davis Square, nice selection of drinks. Takeout only.

Stopped in after receiving a raving recommendation about this spot from a good friend, who also happens to be a chef at a renowned restaurant!

To my surprise, Shirley is located about 10 mins walking distance from my home. I must have walked past this place a hundred times, but never noticed it…which is unfortunate for me, considering how tasty the food is!

Since it was my first time, I decided to order just one sandwich: The Salami Mozzarella Sandwich. To my surprise, it was AMAZING! The flavors were exceptional and I could tell that the sandwich was thoughtfully crafted, with only the finest of ingredients.

In addition to sandwiches, there was an assortment of freshly baked pastries on display.

The menu changes with the seasons, allowing the owner/chef to showcase a variety of creations. The owner wasn’t the friendliest…but I suppose I can turn a blind eye in exchange for a delicious sandwich. (Ever watch the Seinfeld episode, The Soup Nazi? Lol!)

The place appears to be take-out only, unless I misunderstood, which wouldn’t be the first time, lol!

Definitely make an effort to visit Shirley Eat More Sunshine, as I’m sure it will quickly become a favorite destination of yours!

I regret my visit to this shop.

My partner and I stopped in to try a sandwich and a drink. The man who took our order was friendly, but the woman making sandwiches was so unwelcoming that I won't return and can not recommend it.

After receiving our food, we paused because it was rainy. We wanted to let the drink cool and have a bite of the sandwich. Before I could even get the sandwich out of the bag it was served in, I was interrupted and told they were take it only. Confused, we decided to leave. Not before an extremely passive-aggressive interaction with the woman, where we tried to get a sleeve for the hot tea.

We stood on the street in the rain in front of the building to wait for a friend and ate.

The bacon breakfast sandwich was a bit messy but very good.

Once finished with the sandwich, I went back inside to throw away my trash(a paper bag that they gave me, the sandwich paper and a few napkins that they gave me). I was quickly interrupted and told that their trash was for straw wrappers only.

Bad business, bad service, the sandwich was not worth the experience.
