| Sandwich shop in [[Locale Croydon|Croydon]], just off the High Street. It's quite small inside, with only three cramped tables for eat-in. |
Stuffins Unlimited's daily queue might be attributed to its convenient location to the Council office around the corner. Convenience certainly does play a part, but the delicious fresh bread, varied and unique daily specials, and friendly staff are the real reason you'll almost always wait a bit before being served. The queue does move quickly though and it's definitely worth the wait. |

The daily queue out the door at lunchtimes might be attributed to its convenient location to the Council office around the corner. Convenience certainly does play a part, but the delicious fresh bread, varied and unique daily specials, and friendly staff are the real reason you'll almost always wait a bit before being served. The queue does move quickly though and it's definitely worth the wait. |
Along with salads, soups (though not in the summer months), and jacket potatoes, there are two "fillings of the day" - veggie and non; and a selection of breads to choose from - basic sliced white, granary bloomers, focaccia and baguettes. A sample of vegetarian selections has included spring onion, veggie sausage and egg mayo, Mexican lime chili (using rice as a base), aubergine, feta and basil with spicy tomato, and Greek salad. I usually have the granary bloomer and sandwiches cost between £2.50-£2.80. Fizzy pops and a small selection of crisps as well as home-baked cakes, flapjacks and biscuits are also available. |

Along with salads, soups (though not in the summer months), and jacket potatoes, there are two "fillings of the day" (veggie and non); and a selection of breads to choose from: basic sliced white and brown, granary bloomers, focaccia, baguettes, and large baps. A sample of vegetarian selections has included spring onion, veggie sausage and egg mayo <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/32453653250/ photo from Jan 2017]</small>; Mexican lime chili (using rice as a base); aubergine, feta and basil with spicy tomato; feta, spinach, sundried tomatoes, and chilli oil <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/21218113464/ photo from Sep 2015]</small> and Greek salad. |
They also serve breakfast and there are two tables for dining in, although they are very cramped and not usually in use. Breakfast baps are a particular favourite as is the coffee - regular or "gourmet" with flavoured syrups for £2 at the same size as a chain coffee's medium. It's always open by 08:00, possibly earlier and closed by 16:30 although I am unsure of the set hours. |

Lunchtime orders can be taken via email to orders@stuffins.co.uk to be received before 11am. [[Bec]] visited in September 2017 to sample the one vegan sandwich offering of falafel and houmous on a large white bap (£3.30), though note this appears infrequently on the menu. Daily specials are updated [http://www.stuffins.co.uk/todays-specials here]. |

They also serve breakfast, cooked in a tiny kitchenette squeezed into a corner behind the counter, including a couple of "breakfast baps". In April 2019, [[Kake]] found the vegetarian breakfast bap <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/47579922631/ photo]</small> quite disappointing considering the quality of everything else I've had here; the scrambled egg was bland, the grilled peppers were undercooked, and the bottom of the bap was all soggy from the sliced tomato. [[Bec]]'s verdict: All the excellent sandwich fillings are great with salads and jacket potatoes and the friendly staff make it worth a visit. [[Kake]]'s verdict: Much more interesting fillings than your average sandwich shop, and reasonably priced too. If you're in the area and want a quick lunch, I'd definitely recommend it — just not that breakfast bap.
