About Kelsos Sandwich Shoppe

Kelsos Sandwich Shoppe brings hefty, New York bodega-style comfort to Glenferrie Road with serious bread and counter-service warmth. The marquee draw is the chopped cheese—packed with seasoned beef and melted cheese—alongside a vegetarian tofu version. House-baked rolls anchor lunchtime staples, while the deli beef comes served with rich jus for dipping. Save a sliver of room on the way out to pull a cup from the self-serve soft serve machine.

  • NYC-Style Chopped Cheese: Loaded with seasoned beef and melted cheese, plus a popular tofu variation.
  • House-Baked Bread: Sandwiches and hot rolls are served on bread baked fresh in-house on site.
  • Self-Serve Soft Serve: Finish a savory lunch with a pull from the in-house self-serve ice cream machine.
