| - What a great little sandwich shop! I came here for the first time with the Yelp supper club, and my first impressions were that the location was spacious and bright. Although there are only about 5 or 6 tables, it feels very spread out and open.
The service when we were there was fantastic, everyone working there was extremely welcoming and accommodating, making special accommodations for our group in the kindest way possible. You'll notice immediately the giant chalkboard menu, but also be sure to take note of their daily sandwich special and daily soup or salad special. (Also check out their Instagram for some major food porn!)
The first time I came I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken sandwich. I'm going to be nitpicky here and tell you that there is absolutely nothing Korean about this sandwich. It is advertised as containing fried chicken with Korean bbq sauce, cilantro and slaw. Besides the fact that cilantro isn't even a Korean ingredient nor can you find it in any Korean restaurant or grocery store, the sauce wasn't anything akin to Korean bbq. It really was more of a sweet and sour sauce like you get at a Chinese restaurant. I could forgive the title if it was at least spicy, but it wasn't at all. Was the sandwich good? Yes, but the title is a total misnomer, but again, I'm being picky.
BUT there was enough about this place that I loved so I came back the next day to try something else. I went with the Smoked Turkey Club sandwich, which was perfect. Absolutely no complaints on this one. On the one hand, yes it's hard to mess up a turkey club, but this place brings it to the next level with fresh and carefully layered ingredients. High quality meats, veggies and zesty sauce. I could say that pretty much everything here is homemade or close to it; the bread is absolutely fantastic, the perfect kind of bread for a hefty sandwich. The soups and salad dressings seem to be made in house, and it shows in the best kind of way. They also offer locally sourced Cold Bloom Coffee bottled in beautiful glass bottles. This place is very intentional in its efforts to use green practices, which can't be said for a lot of restaurants. They encourage recycling with separate trash cans and much of their packaging is either recyclable or compostable. They also consider themselves to be a "no-waste" kitchen, which I understand to mean they only order as much ingredient as they expect they will need for that day to cut down on food waste. Oftentimes this means they will run out of their daily special, but if you're like me you can appreciate how Herb n' Twine seeks to set itself apart with these little changes to mainstream restaurant culture.
TL;DR- this place has a lot going for it- great service, plenty of seating, green restaurant practices and some awesome sandwich artistry... you're missing out if you don't give it a try!
