Sloppy Joe's Deli

Sloppy Joe's Deli has a bizzarely passionate fanbase – but once you taste its messy American-style sangas and housemade doughnuts, you'll quickly understand why

Time Out says

Sloppy Joe's Deli is a cheerful sandwich shop in the CBD for freshly housemade doughnuts, coffee and American-inspired sandwiches with a creative twist. 

Fan favourites include the towering pastrami sanga with kraut, dill gherkin, Swiss cheese and Sloppy's secret sauce, and the signature Mrs. Kim's Beef, a mouthwatering fusion of Korean barbecue flavors nestled within a perfectly toasted sandwich.

Of course, you've also gotta try the legendary Sloppy Joe itself, a true rarity in Melbourne – toasty soft brioche encasing a sloppy sauce-coated melange of Angus beef, American cheese and bread and butter pickles. Trust us when we say this creation is a helluva lot more appetising than the one from Billy Madison. 

But it's not all just sandwiches at Sloppy Joe's Deli. You've also got tasty sides like truffle mac 'n' cheese and egg salad to round out your meal, plus what we reckon are the absolute best doughnuts in the city. Grab an original glazed, a strawberry sprinkles or a Biscoff doughnut to go, and consider your life changed. Slightly savoury, chewy and yeasty, these sweet American-style doughnuts are the real deal. 

Finally, this deli also slings a boss coffee and cold matcha drinks and sodas, too. In short, if you're after a dirty and delicious quick lunch in the CBD, you can't really go wrong with Sloppy's. Before you go, you can check out some solid sanga porn at the deli's Instagram page.
