Kelso's Sandwich Shoppe

Johnston Street’s go-to counter for hefty, two-handed sangas packs serious flavor into toasted rolls and nostalgic classics. Regulars consistently steer newcomers toward the griddled bodega-style chopped cheese, loaded with minced beef and melted cheese. Plant-based diners have their own run of the board with crispy tofu chops and vegan grilled cheese, while midday crowds cycle through tuck shop salad rolls on rye and tuna melts. Service runs strictly takeaway out of a compact shopfront—grab your butcher-paper parcel, head outside for a perch on the curb, or stroll over to Victoria Park.
