| - I like to refer to this place as an urban cafeteria because you can literally walk in, grab something out of the fridge, and walk out (after paying, of course). A&J offer ready- made sandwiches and salads, pastries, AND hot meals. If you're not in a hurry and don't mind waiting/eating at the resto, then you can go ahead and order from the vast menu of hot items such as panini or pizza. They have a small sitting area upstairs, as well as a small terrasse outside.
Their mushroom pizza is to die for (roasted Portobello, Shitake and Porcini mushrooms + fresh basil, garlic and Fontina + Mozzarella cheese. The dough is just the right consistency - not too thick, delectably soft and oh-so-tasty.
I usually opt for one of their salads when I'm grabbing lunch on the go; I've tried most of their offerings and enjoy them all - the portion is just right for me, unlike Chop Crazy or Fabrika who make HUGE salads you just can't finish. I've also tried their sandwiches, which are made fresh on the spot. My favorites include: Under the Tuscan Sun (Grilled chicken breast, tomatos, red onions, greens, provolone and pesto mayo on Rosemary focaccia) and the WIld Mushroom & Goat Cheese (roasted Portobello, Shitake and Porcini mushrooms, tomatos, greens, garlic aioli sauce on Ciabatta bread.
Overall, you can't go wrong here. Whether you're looking for a carb fix or trying to eat healthy - if you're looking for fresh food to go, this is the place to get it. Oh, and they now offer breakfast items too!
