The Longanisa Breakfast Sandwich at Cafe Mama&Sons: A Filipino Morning Classic Reimagined

Written By dawit tesfay

If you're looking for a breakfast sandwich that goes beyond the usual bacon-and-egg formula, meet your new morning favourite: the Longanisa Breakfast Sandwich at Cafe Mama&Sons, now available daily from 8AM to 12PM on weekdays and 9AM to 12PM on weekends.

What is Longanisa?

Longanisa is a sweet, garlicky Filipino sausage that’s beloved across the Philippines. Each region has its own version, but here at Cafe Mama&Sons, we make our longanisa entirely in-house, staying true to our roots while giving it just the right twist for the London palate. Our longanisa is a perfect balance of savory and sweet, with bold notes of garlic, brown sugar, vinegar, and a hint of pepper — a deeply flavorful bite that wakes you up and lingers just long enough to make you want another.

Made From Scratch, From Bun to Filling

At Cafe Mama&Sons, we don’t believe in shortcuts. The longanisa in your sandwich? It’s made fresh in our kitchen, using a carefully developed recipe inspired by family traditions and refined in the kitchens of the Maginhawa Group. It’s ground, seasoned, and hand-formed daily — no preservatives, no fillers, just bold, honest flavour.

And the bun? That’s not store-bought either. We bake our signature pandesal buns every morning, soft, fluffy, and slightly sweet — the perfect partner to the rich, spiced sausage. This is the same fresh pandesal that supplies our sister restaurants, including Mamasons, Ramo Ramen, and Bintang. So when you bite into this sandwich, you're not just tasting one cafe’s work — you're experiencing a cornerstone of our entire restaurant group.

The Build

Our Longanisa Breakfast Sandwich features:

  • House-made longanisa patty

  • Soft, warm pandesal bun
