★★★★★ 5.0 Stephen O' Farrell · Jan 2026

Delicious sandwiches on the go made with high-quality, wholesome ingredients. This bijou shop is a real gem in Charlestown, focusing on tasty, reliable sandwiches crafted from excellent-quality ingredients. We’ve had them all. Their handmade chips are rustic and moreish. They also sell fresh baguettes, a small selection of bread, and have fridges stocked with curated meats, cheeses, and fresh pastas. Better still, they’ve put together a thoughtful selection of wines and beers for a more discerning palate.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Michele Guttermuth · Nov 2024

Great place for lunch as they have a variety of options - both salads and sandwiches. Really any type of sandwich and nice/ quick service. Can either call ahead to pick up or pass by. Enjoyed the beef Korean inspired sandwhich- nice flavoring and large portion size. Overall recommend

Had the most delicious gluten-free chicken, Caesar salad wrap here. They have lots of gluten-free options. And a lot of really yummy looking prepared foods in their shop. We took our food and sat outside on their lounge area, which is dog friendly. It was great.

★★★★★ 5.0 Tara Costin · Dec 2024

Love this little store! I always discover new and exciting wine options here and they have great food selection, artisanal cheeses and beer just to name a few. Their soups and sandwiches are also delicious. Surely worth a stop in here!

★★★★★ 5.0 Marissa Rosenberg · Apr 2023

I have gotten lunch here 1-2 times per week every week for the past 2 years and I can confirm that every sandwich, salad, and soup I have ordered has been phenomenal. THE CHIPS are amazing. They also serve coffee now and it's probably the best cold brew I have ever had (Starbucks ain't got nothing on Dovetail). Ben is incredibly nice and will remember your name. If they had enough staff to do breakfast it would be perfect.
