Bitez Sandwich Bar — Restaurant in Colwood

Went here for lunch as my school is right across the street. I asked if they could make my sandwich within 10 mins, she said yes. I ordered just a ham&cheese panini, it took 15 minutes. When I got back to my school and unwrapped it, I was very disappointed to see egg and tomato on it as I was not informed this was the case. I had said and ordered a ham and cheese that was all I wanted. I have many food intolerances. I phoned the store within minutes and was told he would do nothing because thats what I ordered and that the egg and tomato comes on it... great but that isn't what I asked for? He would not return my money and I did not eat lunch. I am in school for 16 months and they just lost what could have been a very loyal customer. Very poor...

This review is for Bitez and NOT the sushi place that has seemingly replaced it.

I just want to say how much my partner and I loved Bite. We ate there often when we were in Colwood and both had favourite sandwiches (although I tried a few different ones over the years). Every sandwich we tried was fresh, tasty, and stacked high with toppings. I loved coming there and often looked forward to the sandwiches (even now writing this I am craving one of the Hot Blondes). Anyway, I don’t know if this message will reach the owner but I just wanted to say my partner and I will miss you and your sandwiches.

Good luck with the new business. I personally don’t think we need more sushi in this city, because what you were making...

This sandwich spot was a little dated and shabby inside but I went for the food and I was very happy I did. We tried the Grizzly (pulled pork), Cuban and the Hot Blonde. The Hot Blonde was outstanding. Easily worth $10. The Grizzly was also very flavourful and had a wonderfully sweet and tangy barbeque sauce. The Cuban reminded me of the sandwiches I ate when I was in Cuba. Also all sandwiches come with a coleslaw or ripple potato chip side at no extra charge. The owner gave me off looks when I asked for no plastic bag (one sandwich was to go) and he was rather quirky but the sandwiches were excellent. I would highly recommend you try...
