Good points about this store: it's cheap! Cheaper than places like Pret A Manager for your lunch. Not so good: the choice is poor. They do make pizza in store at a low price (sounds great on paper) but they are standard off the shelf heated up pizza you can pick up from the stand next to the oven. They are really dry with a thick hard base that tastes like you're eating a piece or wood although wood will probably have more flavour than these things. Great to buy as a treat for a friend,... if you hate them. I asked the store worker if there are any vegetarian pizzas to which he just laughed, said no, and walked off. Absolutely no care at all for customer service or the reputation of the store. Speaking of which the staff here are completely disinterested in helping you and look like they're in a trance and doing you a favour by taking your money should you walk close enough to them and in clear vision, centred in front of the till (they won't say anything to you if you simply stand nearby waiting to ask a question). Congrats to the store manager, it couldn't have been easy to find and recruit a full set of staff of this type and train them to offer this level of service. Don't expect to find multi-pack of anything here, they only sell single item goods. For multi-packs, walk 30 seconds further up to Co-op (next to St Pauls station). If you don't care about any of these issues and cheap, low quality tasteless store brand food served by staff with a unique single-celled brain function is your thing, then this is the place for you!! Enjoy!! P.S. I gave it two stars instead of one due to the unique entertainment value of the experience offered by this store.

Cramped, noisy, messy store. Limited stock available. Always arguments in store. Unpleasant environment. Avoid unless essential!

A much needed mini supermarket in this urban area. Saves having to just go to the usual coffee shops for a snack

Useless stuff... Not professional!!!! If they closed 11pm why pushed for quick shopping in 3 min because they closed now... Not helpful at all... Good luck

This small supermarket has everything what you need dutiny the day. Has a lot of fast food to choose from such as baguettes, sandwiches, etc. What I really liked was the fresh orange juice.

This Sainsbury's Supermarkets at Paternoster Square sells SIM cards by Vodafone that has a face value of 20GB data for 11lb but actually has only 5MB of data. Within 2 days, my Google map stopped working because it ran out data allowance. I was puzzled initially but proceeded to refill the SIM card with a 15lb. To my surprise, this did not give me any additional data allowance. Instead, it increased my calling and texts allowance which is of no use to me. When I tried to return the SIM card to Sainsbury's for a partial refund, the store manage says the SIM card can only be returned within 24 hours. This is a SCAM because no one would be able to detect this data shortage problem within the 1st 24 hours and when one does, it is too late to return it. Do not buy Vodafone SIM cards (and probably all its SIM cards) from Sainsbury's Supermarkets at Paternoster Square.

Quiet during the pandemic 'working at home'. Very limited range of products but fine for basics!

A reasonably well stocked Sainsburys Local, but stocks of some essentials like toilet paper were non-existent!Staff seemed a bit preoccupied talking about anything but work when I tried to attract their attention.Other than that, it's an OK store.
