Fastest and Most Affordable lunch in downtown Chandler
Every day I search for lunch in downtown Chandler. I'm a creature of habit as most of us are and therefore I tend to stick to the same place when I find something good - I try not to but sometimes it happens.
I've walked passed In Pockets... hundreds of times? scary but probably. I haven't given it much thought as it's been tagged as a bakery and I'm not into sweets and stuff. However, they've been putting out signs on the sidewalk about breakfast (another thing I don't do) and sandwiches for lunch as well. Long story short I decided to venture back in (tried it once in October) and thought it was ok.
This place is very undervalued for as good as it is and not as well known as it should be. That needs to change. This is by far the fastest lunch in downtown Chandler and one of two most affordable. (not counting fast food crap).
For about $8 there are a variety of great deli sandwiches and chicken breast on focaccia or other great breads. Lots of different gourmet sandwich variations and all fill me up for that amount. Their bread is excellent, soft and warm and even the ciabatta was perfect and not hard like it typically is at most places. The pasta salad was superior. The locale is nice, good inside seating and very friendly and attentive owner and workers taking your order and bringing the food out to your table.
I'm not a coffee guy but I know a few people at Gangplank that walk down here and get their cup of joe and mocha stuff here - if they like it from here it must be good. They also make cakes and pastries and all that stuff - again, not a sweets guy but it all looks good in the window.
I'm most definitely making In Pockets a more common visit for lunch each week. And they have a punch card too for loyalty rewards.
