A popular Camberwell sandwich maker known for its Japanese-style sarnies, will open a new grab-and-go branch in Deptford this month, writes Pablo Munoz…
Mondo Sando’s new shop, in Arch 5 of the Deptford Market Yard, will be styled in the same retro fashion as Cafe Mondo on Peckham Road, which also includes a Museum of Rocks.
Cafe Mondo has built a following in south London for its high-quality, creative Japanese-style sandwiches and uses neighbouring TOAD Bakery’s bread. It offers a daytime takeaway service as well as small plates and cocktails.
The menu at the Deptford shop, Mondo To Go, will feature the brand’s signature sandwiches and sides, including the Mondo Frango and the Mondo Combo, as well as pickles and latkes, plus some new Deptford-only creations.
It is due to open on Friday April 10 and there’ll be 50 percent off food til Sunday April 12 to celebrate the launch of the takeaway shop and you’ll be able to linger at their 50-seater outdoor terrace.
Co-founder Jack Macrae said: “After many years working in Camberwell, five minutes from my flat, it’s only fair we open a site in Deptford, five minutes from Viggo’s.”
Viggo Blegvad and his long-time friend Jack began Mondo Sando during the COVID lockdown, initially delivering sandwiches by bike around Peckham and Camberwell. The takeaway concept later developed into kitchen residencies in local pubs, including the Joiner’s Arms and the Grove House Cafe before opening in it’s first permanent site in Camberwell in 2024.
Mondo To Go will be open every Wednesday to Sunday, from 12-4pm. Find it at Arch 5, Deptford Market Yards, SE8 4BX.
