| - My girlfriend took me here when I came to visit from LA, promising me a world class sandwich experience. Now, I'm not TRYING to be condescending (although I undoubtedly will come off that way), but the place was MEH.
The selection of sandwiches from the menu was pathetic (I counted 3 or 4 varieties in total), the decor screamed 'we're trying to be hip, modern, and upscale yet can't conceal the pathetic, unattractive, and disorganized environment behind the counter', and the employees took far too much pride for what I got: A yummy, average sandwich. The bread was freshly made and good (nothing to rave about coming from LA), the mozarella/basil/tomato were all good (the best part), and the couple bucks extra for added meat was wholly unworth it, as it detracted from the delicious elements (cheese and veggies) and was a pathetic portion.
The bottom line: Good sandwich, bad selection, overly pretentious/hyped. I can name 20 places in LA off the top of my head that match and EXCEED, on all fronts, this bastion of pretend. That being said, when in Phoenix I'd gladly pony up 9 bucks for the plain ol' mozzarella-tomato-basil sandwich (sans meat), though I'd rather stop by Delux (fantastic burgers and fries at great prices) and avoid feeling annoyed/perturbed by this place's smugness.
