Sometimes, you come across a new spot in the city and think, "This could be my new hideaway," a place to keep coming back to. For many, especially students and newcomers to Ahmedabad, SandwichworkZ has become that warm, comforting nook.

This little cafe on IIM Road remains a relatively unknown secret among Amdavadis, giving it the feel of a true hidden find. And the best part? Its menu is just as impressive and diverse as it is satisfying and wholesome!

SandwichworkZ is the creation of Himanshu and Takshashila Desai, a foodie husband-and-wife team who started the place in 2012. In a conversation with Knocksense, Mrs Desai shared that they started with a dream of bringing diverse flavours and comfort food to Ahmedabad.

It’s common to see either Himanshu or Takshashila behind the counter, greeting regulars with a familiar smile and welcoming newcomers with genuine warmth. The couple has crafted a unique menu that blends regional dishes from across India with global favourites.

The menu is where the magic lies, offering an impressive selection of dishes you won’t easily find anywhere else in the city. It’s especially a haven for breakfast lovers, with an all-day breakfast menu that includes everything from savoury waffles and fluffy pancakes to egg dosas and hearty omelettes.

Beyond breakfast, you’ll find creative choices like shakshouka, kathi rolls, sandwiches, and salads. For those who enjoy non-veg options, SandwichworkZ has plenty to indulge in, from classic All-American Hot Dogs and Ham & Cheese Pizza to unique dishes like Konkani Chicken in Coconut Cream Sauce.

The ambience is as comforting as the food. The cafe’s simple, homely vibe is enhanced by an in-house library where guests can pick up a book and get lost in stories while they enjoy their meal. From Urdu literature to Hindi poetry and timeless classics, the collection is thoughtfully curated, adding to the cafe's appeal.

They even encourage a community spirit with a small book exchange corner, allowing guests to donate or borrow books.

So, SandwichworkZ is a place that makes you feel at home. Whether you’re here for a quick coffee, a leisurely meal, or simply to unwind with a good book, this quaint corner on IIM Road will welcome you back time and again.
