Tasty Baguette

The Tasty Baguette is a sandwich shop just off the main shopping street in Sidmouth, on Dove Lane, doing breakfast, brunch and lunch with a mix of takeaway and a small amount of seating for eating in. Everything is made to order rather than pre-packed, and the fillings are generous enough that reviewers regularly comment on the portion sizes relative to the price.

The baguettes are the obvious draw, but the menu stretches to breakfast rolls and baguettes as well, with coronation chicken and crab among the fillings that come up most often in reviews as standout choices. Bread and fillings are freshly prepared each morning rather than sitting ready-made, which keeps the queue moving at a steady pace rather than instantly. It has built a strong local reputation - regularly named among the better-rated lunch spots in Sidmouth - on the combination of fair prices, friendly service and food that's simply fresher than the supermarket-meal-deal alternative. It's a solid, unfussy stop for anyone wanting a proper lunch without sitting down for a full meal.
