Herbie West End in Edinburgh

I visit here for my lunch probably three times a week. I think it's ace. The sandwiches/rolls are better and cheaper than nearby chains but it's the selection of soups which is the real star. So good. Also, the staff are super friendly.

Is there an option for no stars?! Ordered a soup and a tuna, RED ONION, and salad sandwich, I say red onion but there was absolutely no red onion in that..... and my god don’t get me started on the soup. Meant to be butternut squash but as soon as I opened it there was a nice layer of grease on the top then once tried I couldn’t swallow it. I can only describe what looked like tiny bones in it. Couldn’t chew them so had to spit it out.£5.05 spent on this lunch and it’s the worst £5 I have ever spent. Will NOT be returning!!!

After being a loyal customer and ambassador of their great food for around 15 years I regret to post this review. There is no point or gain from posting the ins and outs of what happened apart from the fact that I was met one day with absolutely shocking and rude behaviour from one member of staff, and not for the first time. Hopefully this was addressed by management but sadly I will never be back in to find out.

This place is the best little sandwich shop in Edinburgh. I always go here for my lunch and the staff are warm, friendly, theres a great selection, and they are even accommodating if you have a fussy order like me where they will custom build your sandwich.Rough prices:Sandwich ~£3Soup ~£1.50Lunch deal with a drink ~£5(If they have the quiches in, get a quiche. Even if you don't like quiche, trust me.)

Amazing little Sandwhich shop. I recommend going at 12 to avoid queue. Go for there soups. They are so good

Popped in this morning for breakfast... the attitude of the female staff member was absolutely terrible. She clearly didn’t want to be there as I heard her moaning to the regular customer before me that she doesn’t normally work Saturdays and that she had spent all morning slicing onions, she’s hates cutting onions. She obviously took her anger out on me as I am not a regular. I left without purchasing and won’t return. Maybe her boss will now make her work more saturdays....

About 6 or more soups to choose from every day, as well as baked potatoes with any 2 fillings. Nice and cheap, I come here regularly. There's no seating, so you'll have to take your lunch somewhere to eat.

Terrible place, staff not particularly friendly and the pricing is obscene and inconsistent. I can of diet coke is £1.40!!, the soup was watery and I was overcharged. Will never go back there.

Fantastic tiny take-away place.They have a massive array of sandwiches, ranging from sliced bread, to baguettes and wraps together with their large collection of freshly made soups! They have a section in the back which allows you to customise your own sandwich as well. Lots of various deals which allows you to buy a selection of pieces for a set price, making it a fantastic bargain.Also sells baked loaf bread which comes from their own bakery off-site! Seaweed Sodabread is amazing!

Lovely little take-away place with freshly baked bread and a wide variety of pre-made sandwiches, baguettes and wraps with daily fresh homemade soup. If you can't find what you want from the selection, they will happily make your sarnie to order.The staff are all very friendly and chatty which (along with the above) makes this one of my regular lunch stops!
