At one end of Colaba Causeway, Wich Latte is so small that we actually walked passed it once despite having had the good luck to find a parking spot just 10 ' away, this tiny little sandwich shop is about the best thing to happen to Colaba.
Of course it is small and cute so naturally even when it has four people inside it looks crowded but I must say, for a variety of unusual sandwiches, this is the place to go to. Wich Latte serves up stuff that one can only dream of. Exotic sounding Cascadilla Crisp, and Renwick Reuben , fare so different from the standard sandwiches at clubs and even more standard sandwiches in school lunches.
California Turkey ( which we wanted to have but were advised to go for the better alternative "Danby" by the helpful waiter) was the reason why we made this trek to Colaba. But being women, we easily got side tracked and went for the waiter's recommendation instead - Danby. the sandwich was disappointingly small for two ( but of course good enough for one) and though we tried we could not find any Guacomole. However, the multi grain sandwich was toasted just right, with a generous amount of Turkey ham. Unlike most ham sandwiches, this one was easy to bite into without the fillings falling all over your fingers so at Rs. 140, it is not exactly cheap but worth the money.
Since we had more gossip to exchange we ordered a Margarita which was actually just right. The crust was thin enough, the cheese melted just right and all in all, great.
This was washed down with Peach tea, ( which my daughter said was just right), Ice tea ( regular which my friend claimed was too sweet) and cold coffee which I thought was good.
Wich Latte has an informal college kid kind of ambience but meant for real sandwich and salad connoisseurs. So the next time I feel like a more "heavy" light meal, I shall pop in for the salad, soup and sandwich even though I know this will make a slight dent in my wallet. Especially after I've spent a good hour or so bargain hunting on Colaba.
