| - This is some serious eats!
Tucson needs to get one!
This is better than Paradise, Panera, and even better than Beyond Bread. This is a beyond bread experience.
First, the menu is neatly organized. Sandwiches, first column paninis. Next panel, salads. First column more sweet, second column more savory. Third panel, soups.
The sandwiches are incredible. I had the Crab Melt. The salads are delightful. I had the Super Foods with blackberries, pomegranate, walnuts, spinach, other stuff topped with blueberry pomegranate vinaigrette. One of the best salads I've ever had.
The second day, (YES, I went back the next day because the previous day I sampled their...) soup! Homemade from scratch. You see, they have a combo special for only $8.xx where you can get a full sandwich and a half salad or soup. Or you can get a half salad and half soup. Or you can get a sandwich and a half soup. I had the sandwich/salad combo the first day. The soup samples sent me to heaven. I returned the next day.
Tucson needs one of these.
Next day I had the Thai Mango Salad and the Roasted Red Pepper Lobster soup. My wife had the Shanghai Chicken salad and the Wild Mushroom Bisque. So, so, so good. We also shared a berry creme brulee and a Rocky Road brownie.
They actually had fountain ginger ale. I've never seen that anywhere. That alone gets a star. And then you could squirt some Italian soda syrup in. At the soda station for free. I put in a dash of raspberry. Yum.
Tip: only get a half size for the salad and soup. I really do not see how anyone could eat a full size as the half size are SO generous!
5 stars. No less.
