| - While a sandwich shop, the menu has fancy names for different sauces, and seasonings. The food has a Middle Eastern or mediterranean style to it, and therefore has many vegetarian options, including delicious sounding salads.
My wife had a falafel sandwich. It was SO very good! However, she had the marble rye. Normally, they toast all of their sandwiches. I would recommend either going with a different bread (they also have white and wheat), or getting untoasted, as the marble rye toasted is a bit hard.
I had the Pollo Cuermo sandwich. Chicken with spinach, cheese, and a bunch of fancy sounding stuffs. It was good, but alas, I had the toasted marble rye also, and it was hard.
They have a mini-Coca-Cola Freestyle machine, which is VERY cool, as well as unsweetened ice tea (free refills on both, of course). While the cups are smaller (12 ounces), they have fat straws. (The mini machine simply has fewer options than the full-fledged, such as no Mello Yello flavors)
We got a bag of their homemade chips. They have Vinegar-Curry, Sea Salt and Pepper, Dill PIckle, and Jalapeno-Sour Cream flavors. We got the jalapeno-sour cream. The texture was decent enough. For kettle chips, they weren't too hard, which is good. The flavor was very, very bland. Not quite just potato, but not much else. Certainly not spicy at all. I ate them all, but I think it was more about the crunch than the flavor.
We also had the strawberry pie. It was layered with cut up strawberries, with perhaps a little strawberry preserves holding it together (not really preserves, but homemade goo, sort of like thick strawberry shortcake goo). The pie crust was like a moist Pop Tart, but more flaky: well done. It was topped with homemade whipped cream, which was bland. Overall, the pie was good, but not very sweet, and not runny, which I prefer.
The restrooms are located next door in the lobby of the apartment building. You need a code to get in, and they were very clean, albeit slightly inconvenient. Just slightly.
Pricewise, with two sandwiches, two drinks, a bag of chips and slice of pie, it was $32. Not horrible, but not cheap.
We will definitely be back. There are so many things on the menu, I want to try them all!
