Manns Deli & Coffee Bar

The great thing about Manns Deli is the quality of the ingredients... and that's about it. The inefficiencies and bottlenecks are widespread and it's painfully obvious how to solve them. In particular, the queuing system and having 1 person on sandwich duty is bonkers. The rest of the staff don't seem to do much. Slow is a complete understatement and on several occasions they have ran out of bread and chicken. I can't even compute that. The customer service isn't terrible, nobody is actively rude - though nobody is actively nice either. I'm paying for service, not just a sandwich. I suspect the only reason Manns is still in business is that they have a monopoly on the area - the only direct competition is a "chicken" sandwich from the Mace. I suggest management look up something called opportunity cost and visit a business like West to see how profitable they could really be.

In an area lacking lunch options, Manns is a great choice. For a good selection and limited queue, aim for arriving before the lunch rush! The staff are a bit slow and lack any sense of urgency to get rid of a queue. There are a few tables and you're able to take your food away or stay in.
There is a good selection of sandwich choices or you can make your own. The bread is lovely and fresh, and fillings generous.
