Ordered:
Special Sandwich
Ham/Cheese Croissant
Iced Coffee
Deep Fried Balls covered w/ Seasame (I don't know the name ha)
Fried Egg Rolls
Pros:
* awesome layout.. The biggest Lee's I've seen!
* Lots of free samples to try.
* express line available for strictly pastries and coffee orders
* They have a room available for banquets and private affairs.
Cons:
* Rock Hard baguette bread !
* Minimal selection of asian sandwiches
* congested with traffic.
* I order deep fried pastries for dessert and they threw it in the same bag as my fried egg rolls.. who does that??
Tips:
* Go down the street to Mr. Sandwich
* I'm not a coffee fan, but its strong and good according to my gf
* easy on the ice for the ice coffee would be a most wise request.
Okay, so I came during grand opening and ribbon cutting, which explains the crazy traffic (but I attempted to come again a few days later and it was still busy so I opted for good ol' Mr. Sandwich). I've had Lee's before in California and remember taking a liking to it, but man their baguette's are just super hard! The express lane was nice for those coffee drinkers and pastry lovers, but I was here for sandwiches. The disappointing thing is that they tried to have a diverse palette of sandwiches by throwing in american sandwiches (ham and cheese) on croissant bread. If I wanted an American sandwich, I'd go to Subway (or better yet Port-O-Subs). The option of American sandwiches was interesting at first, but it isn't even tasty. Sure this added diversity, but it also limited their selection of Eurasian sandwiches. I understand Lee's is a big name and the opening ceremony was a blast, but it just didn't win me over. Will I be back? Sure, but only because I got a free $5.00 gift card for coming during the grand opening. Aside from that, I'm good with Hue Thai's or Mr. Sandwich for my Asian Sandwich cravings.
