| - This place replaced my favorite Wing's place that was there previously. When they opened, I thought it was the same place but with a different name...but was terribly disappointed to see that it turned into a run of the mill hipster urban coffee place.
To be fair, I'm neither a coffee fan or a fan of any time of quiet, expensive and classy looking cafes. I would rather chow down on some wings or some carne asada burritos anyday, but I decided to give this place a try.
The menu reminded me of Sack's, a sandwich place by ASU and the price was remotely the same. The staff was very nice, chill and knowledgeable and they looked kind of bored sitting around and waiting for customers (I don't think it's that popular, I went there twice and I was the only person there every time).
The first time I went there I asked for an egg sandwich and they said they only served it up to 11am, and I was the only one there, it was around 12-1pm and I didn't see a problem in them cooking up some eggs for me (it's not like this place was Mccdonalds and had some harsh rule), but whatever. I had some kind of focaccio hot sandwhich, and for the price tag (7-8 dollars) it was...quite a disappointment. It was tasty, but it was definitely not worth the 7-8 dollar price tag.
The second time I went there, I went around 9-10am to get the egg sandwich that I have been wanting to try the first time. It was originally 3.45 I believe, and by the time I finished ordering it was 6.00. The only substitute I asked for was instead of another meat with the egg, I would like 2 eggs. I don't understand how substituting meat for another egg was worth double the sandwich price when a dozen of eggs is 1.89 at Fry's. Regardless, the sandwich was actually very delicious, it tasted homely and very fresh.
One of the things I like the most about this place is that all their ingredients seem FRESH. The lettuce is crispy, the eggs are hot, the bread is soft, the peppers are cold and refreshing. Other than that - it tasted like something that I could have made at home.
Because the food is good, I'll give this place 4 stars. I was going to originally give it 3 stars, but I think it would be unfair seeing that the staff is nice, the food is fresh, and the place is clean and well kept.
My only real gripe about this place is the price. If it was maybe a dollar less than the menu price, this place would be my #1 place to go for sandwiches and breakfast/lunch. But spending 7-8 dollar for a hot sandwich and 6 dollar for an egg sandwich that I could easily have made at home is something that I can't justify spending. :/
