Schnitzel

This week’s sandwich spotlight lands on the Schnitzel from Ol’mates, a pretty new spot that popped up in Earlwood just two months ago. I originally had my sights set on their Brekky sandwich, but even though it’s still listed on the menu, turns out they don’t serve it anymore. Despite that little menu mix-up, I ended up quite pleased with the Schnitzel sandwich. The chicken was super tender, they didn’t skimp on the servings, and the heaps of crunchy lettuce added a refreshing contrast. The real game-changer was the Ol’ Mates Sauce—it was spot on and super tasty.

The shop itself is a gem with its laidback and friendly atmosphere, complemented by great branding in bold black, orange, and crème colours that create a welcoming vibe. It’s a tad bit far for me, but honestly, if I lived in the area, I could definitely see myself becoming a regular. It’s a nice place that knows how to whip up a simple sandwich really well.
