Once upon a time I lived much closer to Il Cappuccino and made a mission for myself: Try all of the options on the hot sandwiches menu. It's one of the most fun missions I've ever failed and I failed it because one of the sandwiches (I think the Dan Special) was so good I had to keep ordering it.
So when I found myself walking past their door one lunchtime I decided to go back in for old times' sake. I got a sandwich full of swiss cheese and pastrami on ciabatta and it was just as perfect as any of the ones I'd had before. The kind of simple but beautifully done lunch that can make your day and costs less than a fiver.
They do also sell coffee and cakes and things like marinaded olives and freshly baked loaves of bread. They have dried pastas and jars of things like organic passata and so on. It's all very tempting. I also noticed they sell fresh yeast for baking bread yourself at home, which is something I haven't seen anywhere for years.
I'm going to have to make more excuses to wander past Il Cappuccino in the near future. Maybe I'll even give myself another shot at that mission. -

I can't find the words to describe Il Cappuccino, my love affair of this place is so intense that I feel writing a review is almost insincere, my feeling for Il Cap are so strong they should be expressed through the medium of modern dance or maybe poetry but that wouldn't make the best review so I'll have to save it for my own time.
This place will blow you away, the sandwiches are unlike any I've had anywhere else, continental and original I am constantly fighting an inner struggle to resist trying the same sandwich, once you pick one when you go back it is a real challenge to try something different simply because the first was that good. All their sandwiches are great, they don't have a single sandwich which I would turn my nose up at. They are all priced so reasonably as well! I think this is maybe because they don't have somewhere to sit which is their only downfall.
Good selection of juice too, if you haven't been here you need to go and see for yourself, sandwiches have rarely been such a treat. -

A firm favourite for over four years; every sandwich is amazing but a Mega Melt on a lazy Sunday is always a winner!

I love me a sandwich and this place delivers. I was in love right from the start.
The new yorker with its yellow american mustard and dill pickles smothered with montery jack cheese laying on pastrami...couldn't get any better. Subway, EAT YOUR HEART OUT!
my mouth is watering at the mere thought. -

This place should be called MMM...Cappucino - that's right, I went there!
It's long serving and I'm a loyal servant to this gorgeous deli-sandwich deadly combination of greatness. Along with their jars full of delicacies they have a full range of sandwiches, baguettes and all sorts, with fresh fillings scooped up and placed in your meal choice. I am a huge fan of their New York panini option - got a tip off from my old workmates as it had legendary status amongst them. It is phenomenally tasty - I never even knew I liked dill pickle until I tasted the ones crammed inside it!
The staff are a hand picked selection of friendly free spirits and all look very unphased no matter how busy the shop gets. It's nice to visit somewhere where people behind the counter are effortlessly chatty, and their boss always seems interested in the customer and his team (a quality which is fastly becoming a rarity these days). It gives the place a chilled out but very accomodating vibe.
For all that, it's really cheap! Cheaper than a chain sandwich shop and far better. It's one of the few places I crave on a weekly basis and will sometimes jog home from work to make sure I catch them before they close. Wonderful. The string of five star stats are well deserved!
