| - I pulled into the shopping mall with the intention of getting a cheap sub at Subway, something somewhat healthy and fast...but then realized that I was pretty much next door to The Trailhead Bike Shop and Cafe. Even though Subway was currently making fresh bread (pleasant enough smell, but they're no MJ Breads), I decided to spend my money at a non-franchise and see what they were all about.
Coming into any bike shop you'll expect the smell of rubber from all of the tires, and yes, that's what you're greeted with. No fresh smelling breads here, but, let's give this place a chance...
I was greeted warmly by the young staff and I saw that they had a caprese sandwhich on the menu, which is among my favorite type of sandwich if I'm thinking of vegetarian style...so I ordered it along with a lemonade. To my shock, the young guy at the counter made the lemonade fresh to order, squeezing the lemons in a mexican squeezer, you know the type. Fantastic. If I go back again, it may be for the lemonade, it was that fresh and delicious.
The caprese sandwich, once I got home was pretty good. It seemed to be on a light sourdough bread, fresh tomatoes, basil and pesto with a nice slice of mozzarella and some olive oil.
I'll definitely go back. No more Subway for me in this plaza!
I also noticed that they have a nice coffee bar with very good looking treats for the mornings. If you are in the neighborhood, check it out! I think you'll like it!
