The Slow Room is a great little place that makes me wish all cafes had such class. Bright, simple, clean food that proves that all you need are some great ingredients and a little imagination to make a great meal.
I went with my friend and we shared the Eggplant Meatball sandwich. Soft, pillowy bread with a hearty eggplant filling. If you are a vegetarian and secretly wishing you could eat meatball sandwiches, this comes pretty darn close and is absolutely delicious in its own right.
We also had the amazing speck, fresh mozzarella, pear, honey and walnut pesto sandwich. A perfect salty/sweet combo that was both light and satisfying.
It makes me wonder how other places can get away with boring stuff like egg salad when people like the owners of the Slow Room are around? Plus, I hear the coffee is out of this world.
Tip#1: don't come here with more than 2 or 3 others if you plan to stay. It's tiny and has only 4 chairs.
Tip #2: Cash only.
Vegetarian score: 8/10. While it advertises itself as a meat spot, the veggie sandwiches are delish and just as good. Plus, I'd bet they'd make almost any sandwich veggie for you if you asked nicely. They make it all to order.
