Oh, sweet black & white cookies!
This place is awesome. There is no other word for it. No matter what time of day, it's always crowded. However, even with the crowd I always get excellent service.
This is one of the best sandwich shops in town, if not THE best. If you can believe it, the bologna is to die for. The roast beef is also delicious. It doesn't have any of that gag-worthy pink sheen that you so often see on roast beef. The egg-salad is perfect - I think the secret ingredient must be some sort of bottled love of grandmothers. The restaurant has got a handle on the details, and I love that. Menus that look like newspapers. Homemade pickles. Special cream cheese.
Oh yes, the cookies. When you first walk in it feels like walking into Wilka Wonka's chocolate factory. The dessert case may even have angelic lights shining on it. Everything is made daily and is well-worth cheating on the diet.
Although the prices are a bit high (around $10 for a sandwich) you will definitely have leftovers for lunch the next day. My 4 out of 5 stars is because the prices are a bit much to keep me from eating there on a regular basis and the parking lot is a bit harrowing.
