Tuna melt on a warm day in the sun is a SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE. Highly recommend! PLUS the staff is cool and kind!

At one point my favorite sandwich in the neighborhood, Winner has drastically fallen down my list for becoming loveless and overly expensive (a chicken salad sandwich is now $18.50 before tax and tip). Their sourdough loaf remains a good deal ($10 for a hearty loaf), and I will forever love their chocolate-chip cookie. But I can't justify $20 for a single-meal sandwich. Gone are the days of being able to turn their generously filled, $15 sandwiches into two satisfying meals. I know it's tough out there... but it feels like Winner is taking advantage.

I've eaten here before and it was good. But today their breakfast ham and egg muffin was tasteless. The coffee was mediocre. Expensive and below average today, I spent $17 and will never be back

Great bread and good pastries (10/10). Their service setup is very very inefficient (they serve like one person per minute through a tiny hole in the wall). The place does not have any bakery character. Missed opportunity.

Utterly baffled how this is not above a 4.5 this is one of the best spots in nyc. Breakfast sandwich is dreamy. Every bread is perfect. Even the coffee is great. Flawless establishment.

Fish & chips batter were bitter and heavy. Fish fillet were chewy. It should be perfectly flaky, moist, and tender fillet. Light and easy to eat. Chips were really small portions and it came only one fillet for $24. I think they shouldn’t do fish and chips if they can’t do it right. Chicken meat balls came 3 of them and very small for $16. Russos next door make a better meat balls. I had the rotisserie chicken from here and it wasn’t impressively good for the price as well.

Everything I’ve tried so far has been great. The pizza is by far my favorite in the neighborhood and worth the price.

they messed up my order and tried to deny it both times i went, then only fixed part of my order, and finally lied to me that they’d refund it so i would leave and never did, so it does live up to its infamy. food itself: like the black pepper polenta fontina sourdough and jalapeño fontina focaccia. strawberry earl grey scone and sourdough croissant not bad. many others not worth at all.

Does it make sense that the food I ordered online 35 minutes ago still isn’t ready, while at least six eople who ordered in-store have already picked up and left?
So easy to walk up and order at the window. Fresh cinnamon roll + coffee = perfect.

Great bread. The croissants are delicious. Some of the sandwiches are excellent. (Not all, though. I thought you can’t possibly mess up a BLT until Winner proved me dead wrong with the slippery, gummy, chewy monstrosity they call a BLT.)
Staff is nice. But Winner’s system for taking orders is awful. The same person takes and rings up the order and then retrieves certain items, such as baked goods. It’s so inefficient and contributes to the length of the line. I feel like they want that line. It drives me crazy. Lines are for losers. But there I am, staring at my phone, waiting in line to get an $18 sandwich. (Not the BLT, of course. I’m not a total loser.)
Oh yeah, and what’s the deal with no baguettes until 2 pm? They’re making sandwiches with baguettes starting at 11. Are they trolling me?

To start off, it takes me more than an hr to go here and come back home BUT whenever i felt like treating myself, I'd make the trip just to get their sandwiches - because they were just that good!! (Despite the high cost and bad transit)
My favorites were the fried chicken sando + blt + veggie bahnmi
and today I went by to treat myself and ordered the fried chicken sandwich (with changed recipe?!) & the blt, paid nearly $40 to realize....they both didn't taste that good....
The new fried chicken sandwich was especially lackluster 😞
Like one of the other reviewers, i wish i could even pay more to get the original sandwich back - at least it tasted good and that's all i want 😭

Their bread is excellent but the service needs improvement. There is only one window to order at which results in very long lines, especially on weekends.
Chocolate chip cookie was so good
