| - Checked this place out as an alternative to the crappy sandwiches and salads available for a quick lunch in the Queen's Quay Loblaws. Went on a weekday during lunch, and there was about 2 people ahead of me, so not long of a wait. (*Disclaimer: this may quickly change as we alert the staff in our office of its existance.) Clean and colourful space with very friendly staff.
The concept: You get a menu with 6 or so steps to creating your own freshly made, custom sandwich or salad. Loved the choice of breads (multigrain, bagette, wrap, etc.) and the wide array of meats and veggies and sauces. They have practically anything you can think of that you might want on your salad or in your sandwhich - including artichokes, grilled zuchinni, caramalized onions, and my very favourite - sundried tomatoes! (YUM!). My biggest thumbs up came from the assortment of REAL cheese you can pick from - harvari, tex mex (harvarti with jalapenos), swiss, brie, etc. And the cost of the cheese is built into the price. For about $8.50 you get a great sandwhich or heaping salad (my co-worker got a mean looking salad with a dressing called "Champagne" - will need to ask him about the taste and if it was boozey) and a side of crispy totillas with a really refreshing salsa or mixed greens.
*Bonus:
- The salads come with a great bonus of being able to choose your lettuce. If you're like me and hate mixed greens, you can get arugla, romaine, or a mix of both.
- There are also a ton of gluten-free options
- You can order ahead and pick up to avoid the wait.
Great, quick way to order a fresh, healthy lunch on the go. The wait for the sandwich was about 6 or 7 minutes, however, so factor that in if you're super rushed + any wait in line. I forsee myself returning muchly.
