Everything made to order fresh and quickly. Prices reasonable. Roast beef is home cooked and way better than you get in a packaged supermarket sandwich. Choice of breads. Nice non-uniformed friendly staff who remember my preferences as a twice a week regular. Shows the supermarket "meal deals" to be what they are - cheaply produced.

— Justin Holt

A well hidden gem. CD's have an extensive sandwich menu, all options available in baps or varying size baguettes. They are happy to mix up menu items should you not like a particular ingredient. Plentiful portions at a fraction of the cost of high street lunch options.

Continuing the CD’s Legacy for over 20 years

CD’s Sandwich Bar in Braintree Town was established in 1999 by Chris and Dave and has been a family busines for years.

In 2023, the reigns were passed to Tony who is confident in continuing to provide high-quality sandwiches and buffets to Braintree residents and workers, with fresh produce and family recipes – the CD’s way.
