Found out about this place on Instagram and started following them. Finally went with a couple friends to check it out. It’s located (currently anyway) inside a Korean Bakery Shop that is open but only takes pre-orders.
The food here is amazing!!!! Got the #4 Salami sandwich with prosciutto added on. The owner (whose partner he says is Italian and she handles all the food operations) is super cool & friendly, and he told us that the bread takes THREE days to make, but that it’s authentic to the street sandwiches made in Italy. All the ingredients were fantastic, even the arugula, but the bread was the start. Airy and light as it was fermented, it is fantastic! We also shared a pepperoni pizza (also with hot honey like the #4), which was also delicious! And finally got some cannoli (Nutella one pictured) which were the best I’ve ever had.
It took about 20 minutes to make it out here, but it was SO worth it! Highly recommended!!! I can wait for this place to explode as I know it will!!!
Note: They have very limited seating here, so you may need to eat the food elsewhere.

Small business to small business, the quality heart and soul in these sandwiches really shows. The Brasola swapped in the Figaro sandwich is amazing. Directly from Italy. Melting your mouth. Crusty, but soft bread with jammy figs and burrata. Absolutely delicious! Service is top tier. Kind people, super fast service. Can’t ask for more.

This spot is truly a hidden gem in Barrington. Don’t be surprised to find the bakery shelves empty—this sandwich shop runs independently, and everything is freshly made in-house. It’s the real deal, reminiscent of what we enjoyed in Italy. From the freshly baked focaccia (Tuscan schiacciata) to the selection of artisan cheeses and cured meats, the quality shines through.
We tried the salami sandwich (#4) and the Roman-style classica pizza, and both were an absolute treat. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the Romana not only looked like a work of art but tasted just as incredible.
Highly recommend

My fiancé and I were looking for authentic European sandwiches nearby us after we came back home from our Europe trip. And this place is it!! The sandwich bread has the perfect balance, it give you a fluffy heavenly bite – sooooo good. The place is in Hong Kong Bakery, and owned by lovely owners. Very generous portion. The sandwich is double my hand size (see the pic, lol) We will be regulars!❤️ and we will have to try the baked goods too!

My fiancée and I had to come here twice in one week because the sandwiches are just that good. Everything we’ve tried so far has been delicious, but the Figaro has been our favorite so far. All of the ingredients are high quality, the sandwich size is very generous, and the bread is perfectly soft and airy. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and we highly highly recommend getting a sandwich here.

This is the single greatest sandwich i have ever had in my life…and i love deli sandwiches. They have the highest quality ingredients. The owner was very nice and even gave me a little sample of some new deli meat he just got in, while i waited. I wish i lived closer so that i could get this regularly.

Authentic Italian ciabatta done right.! Crispy on the outside, soft inside, and the Mortadella Diva is my absolute favorite—perfectly balanced, flavorful, and unforgettable. I’ll be back for this one again and again.

Don’t let the storefront fool you—it’s still set up like the old Hong Kong Bakery—but wow, their sandwiches are SO good. The sandwich was huge (I saved half for later), served on fresh focaccia, and absolutely packed with flavor. The gentleman who helped me at the counter was incredibly kind and welcoming. I had a great experience and will definitely be back!

Got some sandwiches here yesterday and definitely will be back! So delicious and fresh. We were a little confused because they are located inside of Hong Kong Bakery & Cafe and there weren’t any signs saying Fix Sandwich Shop. They said they do mostly carry out business. The owner was so sweet and nice, he gave us samples to try while we waited for our sandwiches. The meat was tasty and you could tell it was high quality and all the bread is made fresh. We tried the Diva Mortadella and Figaro-highly recommend. Sandwiches are big, so you are able to split, but you are probably going to want to eat the whole thing. Also, we got to try panettone that they were working on and it was AMAZING. Can’t wait to try more from this place!
