CRUCH

Another day, another local café with no Instagram. Three sandwiches in a row? This is getting out of hand 😂 But in my defence, I had a good reason—found myself in Kensington for a friend’s graduation, so naturally I took the chance to scout the area for a fresh sandwich.

After wandering around for a bit, I landed at Fresh Ground Sandwiches & Espresso in Randwick, just a short walk from the UNSW campus. They’ve got over 20 sandwich options, plus the option to build your own. Loads of bread choices too—sourdough, rye, Turkish, you name it. I went with the CRUNCH, which is actually vego by default, but I added grilled chicken for that protein boost.

The sandwich was your solid, reliable café sandwich—fresh and tasty, though nothing that blew me away. The grilled chicken was tender and mild, but what stood out was the combo of beetroot, feta, and walnuts. Creamy, earthy, sweet, and crunchy all at once. The finely chopped carrots added even more texture, and the Turkish bread held everything together nicely. Wouldn’t call it a must-try, but it’s a fresh, reliable pick if you find yourself nearby.
