| - Oh Capriotti's, why must your sandwiches be so tasty (and borderline addictive)? My journey to Capriotti's was only a matter of time. I hear the buzz of 'free sandwiches' going around the office for a place called Capriotti's at their new location. Alright, I missed that opportunity, but a place that will offer free subs is a place that I need to check out. A few weeks went by and I had forgotten the name (insert sad face). Then my boss comes in with a sub in an nondenominational wrapper (my way of saying it was just a plain wrapping paper - no logo), as he opens it I can smell how delicious it would taste. No sooner did he say how tasty it was (a Chicken Philly Cheese Steak), it was gone. Too good to just let it sit idly? Alright, now I have to try it.
So the following day, I made it a point to stop there for lunch. I got the same thing that taunted my olfactory perception the day before. Chicken Cheese Steak, as they call it, is one of their 'hot stuff' options. Back to the office I returned with it, and finished it in a short amount of time! Did this sandwich really just happen or had I dreamt it into existence? Okay, I had to go back again to make sure it was as good as I thought it was.
This time I tried their Cran-Slam Club with turkey and cranberries. I missed the part where they said they used three slices of bread. I looked at this thick sandwich and wondered how I was going to fit it in my mouth. Well, don't worry - I figured that out. Surprisingly, the extra slice of bread enhanced the sandwich. I think I was full after I finished it too. It's a tongue twister to order too, I accidentally called it the Cran-Clam Slub (or Cran-Crab Club) - which I'd be interested to try as well.
I can see myself returning for more sandwiches, like I said before - they're borderline addictive. Either I need to stop now or just accept it. But, I am only giving this spot 4 out of 5 stars. The rent is just too damn high! Woops (right meme, wrong phrase) - the pricing is a bit high. I can't justify the price to myself to eat there regularly enough for it to become a weekly stop. I do appreciate the 3 sizes that their subs come in, but adjust those prices a bit and you'll become irresistible
The other complaint I have is specific to this location, the convenience of getting to this location absolutely sucks. One entrance only. First trip here, I turned early and got myself nearly lost in a random neighborhood and had to come back out to find the only entrance. Then when you get into the parking lot, you have to go to the furthest section of the parking lot. Exiting sucks too, I thought I was leaving, turns out I accidentally found the underground parking for the building.
Give me easy access and I will surely tell all my friends of the positive experience I had. But when you're annoyed coming in - enjoy a great meal - and leave frustrated with the lack of accessibility, it'll leave you with a bitter taste in your mouth. Not necessarily Capriotti's fault - but they picked that location and they should have picked better.
