Caprese sandwich

After my BJJ session today, I decided to hit up Rockdale for some sandwiches. Sandwich Lab wasn’t even on my radar—I’d never heard of it before. I randomly spotted them on Google Maps and thought, why not? Turns out they’re in the spot where the OG Happy Alley used to be.

Their menu was pretty extensive, but the Caprese sandwich caught my attention instantly. I’m on a serious burrata streak at the moment, and seeing anchovy on the ingredients list had me intrigued. My order took a while, but when it finally arrived, I could see why—they put some real effort into the presentation.

Flavour-wise, it delivered. The creamy burrata played beautifully with the salty anchovy, and of course, the classic burrata and tomato combo hit just right, as always. The crushed pistachios added a nice touch of texture and earthiness.

But here’s the thing—the baguette didn’t hold up. It was tough and didn’t have the chewiness I was hoping for. Honestly, with better bread, this sandwich could’ve been next level. Comparing it to the baguette I had in Byron Bay—night and day difference.

Still, I wouldn’t mind going back to see what else they’ve got. There’s definitely potential here!
