The Mayfield
Sandwich Hop
Mayfield’s main strip is dotted with small, character-filled cafés and bakeries where sandwiches are done right. From fresh baguettes to loaded toasties, old-school deli rolls to Turkish bread creations, these local spots all bring something different to the table. Together, they make an easy little trail for anyone keen to explore the suburb one satisfying lunch stop at a time.
Chiefly Royale
Chiefly Royale has recently brought its “big sandwich energy” to Maitland Road, with a bright-blue facade that’s impossible to miss. Family-run and the third of its kind in the Chiefly family, they’re offering their well-loved breakfast muffins and lineup of hot & fresh deli-style baguettes featuring pastrami, truffle mushrooms, salamis, and more. It’s fast, flavour-driven fun with filter coffee or soda to complement.

Set in the lush courtyard at Muster Point, Perry The Feeder brings food-truck vibes to the heart of Mayfield. Laid-back and dog-friendly, it serves loaded, grilled sourdough toasties – from Hawaiian pizza to Spicy Buffalo Chicken – alongside Josie Coffee and local treats. The vibe is casual, sunny, and perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast or easy lunch.

Farrar & Sons Bakehouse
Farrar & Sons might be best known for its award-winning pies, but locals also love the made-to-order sandwich bar. It’s old-school in the best way – freshly sliced meats, crisp salad, cheese, and condiments piled onto soft white bread or crusty rolls, assembled right in front of you. It’s the kind of generous, no-fuss lunch that feels like a throwback to corner bakeries of decades past.

Zaaki Espresso
Zaaki Espresso brings a Middle Eastern twist to the traditional Australian cafe scene, with their fresh Turkish bread sandwiches one of the main stars. From the brekkie toastie with fried egg, halloumi and avocado, to the grilled chicken and feta combo, every bite is fresh, filling and full of flavour. Fans of bold spice will love the sujuk and egg toastie, while the lamb burger with tzatziki is a hearty crowd-pleaser. Pair it with a smooth coffee and a baklava cheesecake for later (yes, it’s as good as it sounds)!
